What are Prayer Times?
Salah and prayer times have to do with each other. After the testimony of Faith, Salah (prayer) is the second major pillar of Islam. So Salah is an obligation for every Muslim to perform it on time. Muslims from all across the globe offer Salah five times a day i.e. Fajr; Dhuhr; Asr; Maghrib and Isha.
Surah An-NisaLike Ramadan, Hajj and Friday prayer, Salah is also one of the rituals that must be performed within the correct time frame. For example, if a prayer is performed before the prescribed time, the Salah will not be accepted. One must repeat this prayer when the time comes. At the same time, people are disobedient when a prayer is made too late. Allah has ordered us in Surah 4 ayah 103 to perform the prayers within the right time! In order to get a prayer accepted, it is therefore essential to perform it on time!
How are Prayer Times calculated?
All Islamic schools agree that prayer times should be determined by the position of the sun. Our natural light source is unfortunately not always and everywhere clearly visible. Moreover, the position of the sun relative to the earth changes during the different seasons. To make it somehow calculable, various scholars and institutions have been busy developing a formula for calculating prayer times for cities like Orlando.
Different methods are used to calculate the prayer times. These methods often indicate the same times for salah Dhuhr, salah Asr and salah Maghrib. The differences are mainly in the times shown for salah Fajr and salah Isha.
The Muslim World League (MWL) method uses the below principles for calculating the prayer times:
• salah Fajr should be done when the sun is at 18 degrees to the horizon
• salah Isha should be performed when the sun has dropped 17 degrees below the horizon.
We are using the MWL method for the calculation of prayer times for most countries except USA, Canada and the Middle East.
The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) prayer times method uses the following principles:
We are using the ISNA method for the prayer times of USA and Canada.
What Prayer Times should I use?
CPrayer Times Orlandoan I use the Prayer Times shown here for Orlando? Above we explained which method we are using to calculate the prayer times for Orlando. However, it is possible that your local mosque uses different principles. If this is the case, we recommend you to follow the prayer times of your local mosque. At the same time, we would greatly appreciate it if you would inform us about the differences so we can adjust the prayer times of Orlando.

1. AA,
My brother all over in America we use time clock Just like regular America standard way , which is 9 O’clock ,10 O’clock for Salat time . But not 20:00 or 21:00 .

we must be relentless
554,000 Americans die of cancer every year.
-Lance Armstrong, American cyclist and cancer survivor
I'm with Lance on this one. I just don't understand how our national priorities mean spending 8 billion dollars a month in Iraq and cutting cancer research budgets by 30%.
Join Lance and his advocacy efforts with legislators.
We Have to Be Ruthless: An iconic survivor challenges the nation to close the gap between what we know and what we do about cancer.
By Lance Armstrong
April 9, 2007 issue - Trust me when I say that I'm not complaining about the attention cancer is finally getting in the media. But I don't understand why it requires two very upsetting announcements about cancer recurrence to prompt a national discussion about our nation's second leading killer.
I was struck, in particular, by the headlines about Elizabeth Edwards and the repeated use of the word "incurable." That word is so contrary to the American spirit and what we believe about our ability to innovate and excel. It doesn't take into account Elizabeth's considerable courage, and it says something alarming about the complacency that leads us to just expect another diagnosis with another new day.
It's clear that the way we battle cancer is deeply at odds with our values as a country, and with our common sense. There is a serious gap between what we know and what we do; what we deserve and what we get; what should be and what is.
The shameful reality is that we do not ensure that everyone benefits from what we know today about cancer prevention and detection. The outcome of a cancer diagnosis often depends on factors that have nothing to do with the disease, including race, insurance, economics, age and proximity to treatment centers. We can prevent about one third of cancer deaths just by widely distributing information about prevention and early detection—but we aren't doing it.
Meanwhile, we know scientific discovery is critical and our best hope for the future. Research labs hold the promise for improved screening and therapies and better understanding of metastases and prevention. Congress, however, repeatedly fails to fully fund the requested budget for the National Cancer Institute and recently cut cancer funding for the first time in more than 30 years.
These are only two examples of the disconnect between what we know and what we do. At some point we have to ask ourselves what is at stake. Who is left vulnerable by that gap? The answer is our spouses, parents, children and friends.
For that reason I am determined to lead a movement to fundamentally change the experiences and expectations of cancer patients. We need an unapologetic effort to demand what is right and champion what works. We have to be ruthless and relentless, as the author Jim Collins often says, in our quest for results. We must honestly and clearly affirm that this is an ethics issue. To confront it we must summon our resources and the moral courage and political will of the public, the health-care system and our government.
To that end, Americans deserve leaders who understand the magnitude of the problem and have carefully considered what to do about it. Trust me when I tell you that we are going to ask them. And we expect an answer.

Tomb Raider
Curse of the pyramids.
Giant sphinxes guard the entrances to the huge, sacred cursed Tomb Raider pyramid. The sphinxes are part of an ancient protection system. They watch over the ancient idol that lies deep beneath its surface. For years, treasure hunters and archaeologists have been attempting to retrieve the artifact. To date none of them have lived to boast about their exploits.
The secret location has fallen into the wrong hands. It is known that hoards of greedy, heavily armed mercenaries are headed this way to ravage and steal the ancient idol. Can you and your group of diehard’s infiltrate the pyramids interior to collect the sacred artifact before it falls into the wrong hands? Get into the tomb, secure the artifact. Use the giant Sphinxes as cover to escape with the idol and take it to a new, safer location.

Which series or specific run just made you go "woah, that was awesome"? by Lord_of_Jam in DCcomics
[–]chewxy 4 points5 points (0 children)
Action Comics. When Mrs Nyxly told her story. That was the "whoah that's awesome" part of N52... there isn't anything in N52 that is like that yet (Multiversity isn't really part of actual continuity is it?)
Howdy r/startups! Can you help me validate my idea? by orca0294 in startups
[–]chewxy 0 points1 point (0 children)
You cannot ask someone in a public forum and validate your idea. The best way to validate your idea is to go to your customers directly. Stop surveying and start doing (you don't have to build this app to actually validate the idea).
Tony Abbott thinks teaching coding/programming in school is a laughable endeavour. Ridicules Bill Shorten over the issue. by kinkora in australia
[–]chewxy 1 point2 points (0 children)
Nope. As in a programming language that combines instruction and data into one. Sounds like a clusterfuck (especially with today's separate data from code mantra), but not really, at least the idea of it, when properly explained by someone more qualified than I am.
Think lisp, basically

I'm friends with several people in the PL-research space. Some people are actually trying to make an excel-like programming language. I think it's actually a fairly decent idea if properly executed

Chicken breast. This cut sucks. I had to resort to marinating my chicken in green tea and lemon myrtle just to make something different. Fairly interesting flavour, better than no seasoning.

Should I be seeding tomatoes? by Mindandhand in AskCulinary
[–]chewxy -1 points0 points (0 children)
Answer is yes. The seeds of a tomato is quite bitter. You can try it yourself. But like /u/elangomatt says, there is quite a bit of gel around the seeds. Remove them before trying. Or if you're a supertaster, the bitterness would be quite obvious.
So you want to seed the tomato, but not waste the gel around the seed (which by the way is full of glutamates... yum). What do you do?
Simple: Instead of throwing away the seed, put it in a sieve. What I do usually when prepping tomatoes is to blanch them quickly, remove the skin (also bitter), cut them and seed the tomatoes. The skin and the seeds and goop go into the sieve, with a bowl underneathe it. After the tomatoes are deseeded, I salt the sieve, and press using a spoon or something. This removes all the goop through the sieve, and the skin and seeds are not included.
Reduce the stuff in the bowl, and then re-add to your sauce. You'll find you have a richer sauce.

Vintage Carimali 2 Group. Anyone know this machine? by dropbarsnotbombs in Coffee
[–]chewxy 1 point2 points (0 children)
Interesting. I was reading about these a few hours ago in a book about the history of coffee in Australia. The original Carimali machines were the precursor to espresso machines and were introduced in the 30s. It was basically a filter, and hot water, not unlike the automatic hot water pourers on chemexes/v60s we see today. It was said to have inspired the design of modern day espresso machines (and I can see that too: the original Carimalis had locking filters like modern day porta filters. The difference was you don't tamp the coffee, and you put quite a lot more coffee, and let hot water run through it)
It was also advertised that you could enjoy coffee from any origin, or even make your own blend (paraphrased, as I don't recall the actual phrase). I thought this was interesting as it was written in the late 30s, prior to WWII
This appears to be after espresso machines were invented. Sorry I can't help you there.

Meet ups best suited to finding technical co-founder? by AmpleReason in sydney
[–]chewxy 2 points3 points (0 children)
Go to a programming language meetup. I run Sydney Python. We meet at Atlassian every first thursday of the month. You can announce that you're looking for a technical cofounder there. Much more likely to find someone than say Silicon Beach.

[–]chewxy 1 point2 points (0 children)
Read the source. It's well written. The trend drop is actually there, and rather suddenly after the intervention too. Particularly of interest to you would be the Discussion section of the article.
In fact, you can pull the data yourself and probably do the analysis yourself.
EDIT: Nope. I couldn't find the source.
The first: Hump Day Thread by glittermustardmo in sydney

First album? Tchaikovsky's Essentials or something like that. Never really bothered with buying CDs, as I would just Kazaa that shit.
First movie at the cinemas was Aladdin. First movie that really scared me was Jurassic Park. I recall slowly sliding under away from the seat.
First computer game was some Sticky Bear typing stuff. I got bored of that quite rapidly, and soon my dad taught me BASIC. About 4 years old. And I have strangely fond memories of writing address books in BASIC on a black and green computer (which I later found out was an Apple ][e ). I remember drawing cascading ASCII windows in BASIC. Good times. My software dev skills have stayed stagnant for the last 25 years :(
EDIT: Nope. It was Beauty and the Beast. Dat ballroom scene. Aladdin came after
Weekly discussion - Making meals at home into events by ZootKoomie in AskCulinary
[–]chewxy 3 points4 points (0 children)
I host dinner parties from time to time. They may be elaborate as heck, to simple outdoor barbequeues. I blogged about one dinner party that I held last year which I think covers the "multdisensory, multidimensional experience" bits.
I think for me the issue is simple: meals are never just part of refueling my body (funny story about that - last year I went to see the doctor about losing weight, and was told that I treat food too importantly and should treat food as fuel instead of placing so much importance in food and flavour in order to eat less and lose weight)
Meals to me and my friends are generally very important. My partner and I plan our meals together, cook mostly together, and eat together every night. It's something both of us were brought up with. And when we have kids, it's something we will bring up the kids with.

Bail for officer accused of Durban Deep protester's murder
The police officer charged with the murder of a Durban Deep protester has been given bail. (Gallo)
A police officer accused of shooting dead a protester was granted bail in the Roodepoort Magistrate's Court on Tuesday. The officer, who cannot be named because an identity parade has not been conducted, was granted R5 000 bail.
He is one of four police officers, who were arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of the protester, but is the only one who has been charged with murder. Prosecutor Una van der Schyff said on Monday that charges of defeating the ends of justice were being investigated against three police officers.
Tshepo Babuseng (28) was shot dead, allegedly by a police officer, after residents of Durban Deep, Roodepoort, barricaded roads with stones and burning tyres on Thursday in a protest over a lack of housing.
Mankgabe alleged people saw the officer shoot Babuseng.
Protesters' arrests
Fifteen people were arrested during the protests on Thursday, Gauteng police said at the time
"Police arrested 15 people for public violence. Police had to use rubber bullets to disperse the protesters," Lieutenant Colonel Katlego Mogale said.
On Friday, about 50 Durban Deep residents marched to the Roodepoort Magistrate's Court for their appearance.
Mogale said Babuseng was shot and killed by a police officer driving an unmarked vehicle.
"The police officer was driving through Durban Deep and was stopped by protesters who started shaking his vehicle. The officer fired warning shots and one protester was hit."
"The member, a warrant officer, allegedly fired warning shots. One of the protesters was injured and was certified dead at the hospital." The protest started around 6am on Main Reef road on Thursday. Mogale said protesters were burning tree trunks and throwing stones at vehicles. A section of the road was closed, but later reopened.
A case of public violence was opened and the shooting was being investigated by the Independent Police Investigative Directorate. – Sapa

Science Tuition – Time Travel
Hi and welcome back to your Science Tuition. Today, we are here with some new topics for our chemistry lovers.
Are you aware of the chemists who invented and discovered different elements? No right? So in this Science Tuition lesson, let us time travel and go to the birth of chemistry.
Well, let us start by learning about the father of modern chemistry. The father of modern chemistry is Antoine Lavoisier. He was a French Men born on 26th August 1743. He is a renowned figure as he is the one who recognized one of the essential elements, oxygen. Not only that, but he also recognized the significance of oxygen in the process of combustion. He illustrated the relationship between oxygen and metal which results in rust. And it was he who showed the composition of hydrogen and oxygen in the water and stated that air mainly includes oxygen and nitrogen.
The history of chemistry represents a time span from ancient history to the present. By 1000 BC, civilizations used technologies that eventually would form the basis of various branches of Chemistry. Some notable examples are – extracting metal from ores, making pottery and glazes, fermenting beer and wine, extracting chemicals from plants for medicine and perfume. Alchemy can be stated as a prototype of Chemistry which failed to explain the nature of matter and its transformations but it set the stage for modern chemistry.
A 100,000-year-old ochre processing workshop was found in South Africa which indicated that early humans had an elementary knowledge of Chemistry.
Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier demonstrated with careful measurements that transmutation of water to earth was not possible, but that the sediment observed from boiling water came from the container. He burnt phosphorous and sulfur in the air and proved that the products weighed more than the original. The weight gained was lost from the air and in 1789 he established the Law of Conservation of Mass which is also called “Lavoisier’s Law’.
If you think that Chemistry is a very boring subject then probably you have not been studying it the right way! Chemistry has always been labeled by the students as a very bland and boring subject but we at Miracle Learning Centre can definitely vouch for it that there is a lot of fun and excitement present in the subject which you should definitely know about. Learning should be fun and exciting. It is not about memorizing various laws and concepts without even properly understanding it.
Join Miracle Learning Centre to learn the various concepts of Chemistry with ease and comfort and be able to increase your marks gradually.
We offer classes for secondary science tuition, primary science tuition, IP science tuition in Singapore.

I was totally not equipped for the fortnight of sheer agony following delivery. As Archer had to have a forceps, I was really bruised and swollen inside and had a pretty big episiotomy to help the big guy out. As a result of this I could barely sit down for about 2 weeks, I definitely couldn't walk far and breastfeeding was really difficult. I had a stitch or two removed from my scar which helped a little but the pain was really unbearable. They prescribed me standard strength ibuprofen and paracetemol which I found pretty laughable, so I decided to visit my GP. She said there was no infection BUT prescribed me antibiotics anyway alongside Co-codamol and things cleared up really quickly after this.
The second most agonising thing was breastfeeding. The first day or two wasn't so bad, but the pain was so intense I would wince every time he latched on and dread having to feed him. Using lanolin made little difference and I started to express a lot of my milk to give to him because it was less painful that way. My mum had assured me after a few weeks they will adjust and it won't hurt at all but during the time it felt like it would never get better. What makes the whole thing worse is that all medical advice is that 'if it hurts, you're doing it wrong' which I wasn't. I really didn't want to switch to formula, but I can definitely see why so many mothers would! As usual, my mum was right and about 3-4 weeks after having him the pain diminished hugely and I'm SO glad I carried on.
Next up to cause me issues is my knees. Obviously, I was pretty keen to get rid of the baby weight I had gained and wanted to get exercising ASAP. My knees were having none of it, obviously all that extra weight I'd been carrying around had got a bit much for them and they were acting up whenever I tried to get moving about. They still aren't too happy when I do cardio, but I do think they are slowly getting better (or maybe that's just an excuse not to exercise, eh?)
Archer turned 4 months old this week, and in celebration my body decided to give me the worst PMS type pains ever. I've had this on and off for a month or so to no avail whilst my body tries to get back into routine but this week has been exceptionally horrible! I hope this explains the slightly less regular posting but I've had quite a few dates with my hot water bottle this week.

1. I love this post due to your honesty. I was still really painful after about 3 months after I delivered my daughter but with me it was because I had a tilted pelvis (can't remember exact wording) and it hurt like hell! This apparently happened when I was pushing. It hurt to sit down unless I sat with one leg tucked under me. I was told it would take 6 months for my body to return to normal, which thankfully it did as I drive a lot with work. Us females have to put up with a lot!

Home Made Dried Confetti and a Summer Potpourri Recipe.
Biodegradable and Eco-Friendly. Its easy and fun to make. Why not try your hand at Natural Dried Confetti.
It is completely natural and most important so very pretty: If stored in a cool dry place it can last up to a year.
I have used Roses but other flowers work well too. Try Delphiniums, Hydrangea's, and Dahlia's.
1. Choose flowers in full bloom. Using petals that are turning brown at the edges will result in them turning very brown once dried so avoid at all costs.
2. Take petals off the rose or whatever flower you are using.
3. Line a microwave safe plate with a sheet of paper towel.
4. Lay your petals in a single layer facing up on a paper towel.
5. Lay another sheet of paper towel on top in a single layer.
6. Put in the microwave on high. Here you will need to experiment as each microwave is different so start with 800watts for 1min 30 seconds. Then short bursts of 30 seconds until they are no longer damp. Make sure they are completely dry before removing and store in a sealed container until your Wedding Day.
One litre gives around six handfuls so 30 guests will need 6 litres.
Half a litre of petals will do approx one metre if you wish to scatter them down the isle
Tip... Red petals could stain clothing if they get wet.
Or Maybe turn some of the dried petals into Summer Potpourri.
Here is the list and method for making (Taken from Aromatic Gifts by Stephanie Donaldson).
30g Rose Petals (or your petals from the dried confetti could be used).
50g pink rose buds
50g Lavender flowers dried
30g Lemon Verbens dried
1 tbsp AllSpice
1 tbsp Cinnamon
1 tbsp Cloves
2 tsp gum benzoin
25g finely chopped oak moss
25ml almond oil
10 drops of rose essential oil
5 drops Geranium essential oil
2 drops ginger essential oil
1. Mix dried petals... Rose buds, dried lavender and Verbena in a large bowl.
2. Then in a separate small bowl mix allspice, gum benzoin and oak moss.
3. Blend the almond oil with the rose, geranium and ginger oils and pour over the spice mixture.
4. Mix the Spice and oil blend into the dried flowers.
5. To Cure... Seal the potpourri in a cellophane bag or lidded earthenware container, shake or stir twice a week. Allow to cure for up to six weeks.

Parallax Maps: Joe Hamilton's indirect.flights
Indirect Flights (2015), an online work by Joe Hamilton with sound by J.G. Biberkopf and support from The Moving Museum, blends satellite images, organic textures, brush strokes, and architectural fragments into a dense panorama accessible via a Google Maps-like interface at the website www.indirect.flights. Rhizome's summer fellow Heloïse Cullen talked Hamilton about the project via email.
You’ve said that interfaces are "pivotal in shaping communities online." How do map interfaces, which you reference with indirect.flights, shape communities, especially since they’re so often used as we travel through what used to be thought of as "offline" space?
Feed my Feed: Radical publishing in Facebook Groups
I am actually thinking about the same subject for a while now. As a social networking tool I disagree with the initial structures of facebook.
I do think it is ego-centralized, not subject-centralized which at first made me conclude that people couldn't form organic groups just by common interests - like in specific politics subjects, for example. It is a fact that facebook doesn't at first try to create new connections in between persons who didn't have a connection prior to the online world. It just tries to reproduce the social connections already made by the user - almost, in my opinion, a documentation of the 'real' (read here: offline) social connections of people - kind of alarming in terms of surveillance. Before, facebook had a slogan which would say "connecting people around the world" - I don't have the exact phrase anymore, correct me if I'm wrong - which they later changed to "Connect with friends and the
world around you on Facebook." (much more honest for the purposes of this social media tool). I am not even touching the surface of facebook being used as a social net tool, because there are SERIOUS ones.
That's why it was a surprise for me when I first saw feminists groups and groups of empowerment of women in arts (giving an example from my own perspective). As did some other women, surprised by the amount of girls 'in activity' throughout the internet. In this story, Laura Lanne says "I noticed when I was a teenager that I only knew comic books made by men. In the Internet I found a lot, but not in the magazine stores and comic fairs - Wow, they’re a lot! Was it a secret? There’s a gap in between the number of women making comics and the attention they get."
And the fact is if you look for groups of women in comics on facebook you will encounter huge communities. You will find more publications made by women than you ever found in the main mediums of publication. Another good example is 'Retórica Clitórica Corpo em Festa', a zine produced by Drunken Butterfly. They made a public call for women in arts to create one page about feminine's sexuality. They made it mostly through facebook groups and out of it they created a beautiful publication that raises feminine voices to a broader public.
I do think the other alternatives for communities and discussions and social networking in general should continue to raise and be created, and I could never get tired of the attempts, if the tool we're using doesn't serve our users in the best, nothing more natural then the emerging of improved solutions. Still I agree that using the facebook groups for political engagement generally strengthens the causes.
So opting out of facebook, I agree, is probably not the best alternative but still, people should never stop engaging in the same topics outside of it. Maybe even use the existing groups - or create groups - to get people out of facebook into different communities - I've seen it happening in the case of women in arts.

Physician Well-Being: Lessons From Positive Psychology
So how can we reach our highest potential by applying Positive Psychology? There are a few principles that are especially helpful for physicians. The first principle is a model of happiness that was described by Martin Seligman, considered the father of positive psychology. He stated that there were three levels of happiness on a continuum: the pleasant life, the good life, and the meaningful life. The Pleasant Life involves hedonistic pursuits where we chase money, sex, and possessions. Most of society is stuck in this stage. The Good Life is where we use our unique strengths to develop our best self. This is the stage of personal character development and virtue that Aristotle and others preached as the path to happiness. Finally, when we use our fully realized potential and best self in the service of a cause larger than ourselves, we have entered the Meaningful Life. There are many other models of happiness and even Seligman has updated this original model. The exact terminology does not matter. The simplicity of this model is what is important and can explain much of the discontent that many of us feel. We keep searching for the bigger house or nicer car but don’t realize that until we work on ourselves and our own potential and then use that potential in the service of others, we will likely remain unfulfilled. Many of us try to fulfill our unrealized potential by focusing on our kids. We try to replace our discontent with their contentment and achievement. It doesn’t work. This is why we have parents yelling at coaches and umpires at sporting events and why 8-year-olds have private hitting instructors to get an early edge over others. It is why every parent thinks their kids should be in the advanced classes. Think about the people that you know. Think about yourself. What stage are you in?
The reason for the first stage, the Pleasant Life, is so alluring and dangerous is because of another key principle that positive psychology has elucidated – Hedonic Adaptation. We adapt to all positive things in our lives which are constant. Think about the initial thrill of getting into medical school or landing that first attending job. While exciting at first, we quickly adapted. Although hedonic adaptation is a huge obstacle in improving and sustaining our well-being, it did provide us an evolutionary advantage. If we didn’t get used to old stimuli that were constant, we would not be able to recognize new potential stimuli (threats) from old ones that should have faded into the background. Nature just wanted us around long enough to procreate but didn’t care how happy we were along the way. This is a critical principle to understand and should be taught in schools. How do we stop taking all the good things in our life for granted? How do we move past the Pleasant Life into the Good Life? The key is attention. What we focus on becomes our reality. Appreciating the good will make the good appreciate. How do we do this? The simplest way is through the cultivation of a gratitude habit. This has been heavily studied in positive psychology and is perhaps the field’s greatest contribution. Grateful people are happier, healthier, and have greater life satisfaction. Writing down 3 things that you are thankful for every day can be transformative. It helps to go beyond the usual health, family, and food. Look for moments or experiences throughout the day that you will write about in your journal. It can be as simple as playing catch with your daughter, having an uninterrupted conversation with your son in the car on the way to practice, or a glass of wine on the deck with your spouse. Another effective antidote against hedonic adaptation that has worked well for me is negative visualization. Rather than write about the positive aspects of my life, I mentally subtract one and imagine what life would be like without it. This takes less than a minute and is easily done on the ride home from work. Long day at work? Imagine if your job was eliminated and you had to find another one. Kids arguing with each other? Imagine if they were no longer living with you and how much you would miss them. Bad is stronger than good – which means that we are wired to respond to potential loss more than we are to possible gain. This is the power of negative visualization.
Attention to the positive aspects of our lives can make us less likely to take them for granted. But what about attention to the present moment? Do we take this for granted? I know that I often do. The non-judgmental awareness of the present is referred to as mindfulness. Like the word happiness, mindfulness is increasingly overused. We see it on the cover of major magazines. There are classes given in schools, businesses, the military, and hospitals. Mindfulness, while not a panacea, does deserve considerable enthusiasm and attention (no pun intended). The cultivation of mindfulness has been associated with improvements in multiple domains of well-being including decreased stress, lower blood pressure, and cortisol levels, lower rates of anxiety/depression, and increased life satisfaction. The most widely studied program is the MSBR or Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction eight-week course developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn. The most effective method to cultivate mindfulness is through meditation. There are many forms of meditation and some great apps (calm, headspace) that are designed for beginners. Even a few minutes of following one’s breath can be incredibly powerful if done consistently. The habit of meditation has been transformative for many, including myself. It can make one less reactive, less stressed, more appreciative, healthier and of course, more present. It is estimated that we spend less than 20% of our time actually engaged in the present moment. By learning to become more present, we can effectively increase the amount of time we have to live.
These habits of gratitude, negative visualization, and meditation have worked well for me. They can be done in less than 10 minutes per day. They are backed by science and have been preached for thousands of years by religions and ancient philosophers. As physicians, we are often too busy to worry about our own happiness. Many people depend on us. We are used to dealing with stress. But the healthcare system will only be as healthy as we are. There is considerable evidence linking physician wellness/burnout, medical errors, and patient satisfaction. We owe it to our patients, families and most of all ourselves to prioritize our own well-being. Positive psychology can help. It can move us away from burnout, beyond functioning and straight toward flourishing.

1. It is well written. A great read. True that – we owe it to our patients, families and most of all ourselves to prioritize our own well-being.
2. A search for the philosophical origins of “Well-Being” has many streams of thought. Its origins probably begin with Aristotle more than 2000 years ago. Neera K. Badwar wrote a book about it (2014). Here is her synthesis as a definition of Well-Being: “Happiness in a worthwhile life.”
Before my retirement 2 years ago, a visit to the Doctor’s Lounge of my hospital rarely encountered much spontaneous expression of happiness or confident self-worth amidst the underlying bravado. The continuing discourse reflected primarily the level of disappointment from the continuing level of chaos afflicting their working environment as well as my own. Sad, very sad.

Proper speed bumps, bollards, and car stops are crucial to maintaining the safety of your property. That being said, they are often overlooked by property owners.
Speed Bumps
Can come in recycled asphalt or recycled rubber.
Car Stops
(Also known as bumper curbs, bumper blocks, or wheel stops) A simple but durable solution used to stop a vehicle from rolling forward when parked. Our car stops can come in recycled rubber, plastic, or concrete.
A bollard is a sturdy, short, vertical posts used to control and guide traffic. These help prevent many different types of vehicle accidents as well. Our bollards are steel hollow bollards filled with concrete. We can install them in a standard yellow, or any decorative color you can imagine for your space.

Almost all of that is wrong.
Skylab was compared to Mir hugh. It was inside a Saturn V third stage and
not only was the volumne large but it was quite well organized.
It overheated initially because there was an incident at launch where the
thermal insulation (and one solar wing) came off as the payload shroud that
was covering the telescope mount (and the wings) came off poorly (the Saturn
had never been flown with that shroud before or since).
the first flight to Skylab occurred within a week or two and was commanded
by Pete Conrad. Conrad and his crew "flew" around the vehicle tried to
deploy the wing, didnt, docked and then did a bunch of EVA's which
eventually freed the wing and put some additional insulation (actually a sun
shield) outside the workshop.
conrad and his crew flew a normal mission (I want to say 28 dyas) and then
there were two additional missions of 56 days. There were times it was
uncrewed between those missions but I dont think it was 7 months.
Skylab was a pretty good system. It could have been expanded, there was
another one built (its in the Smithsonian) and well had a lot of growth
potential. It used a composite of hardware. The airlock hatch for instance
was from Gemini.
Indeed a tribute to the design was that after it was abandoned almost a
decade later (not quite) as it was nearing reentry it turned on again and
all systems worked "pretty good".
If the current space station works as good as skylab did well it will work
BTW htere was no ham radio in Skylab but...there almost was and it had a
dandy helical array that would have been great for it. I have some tape
recordings of all the crews talking to Mission control and also some tape
recordings of its "end". I was awake as it made its last pass over Texas on
its way to its fiery end in Australia and saw it in the morning glow. I had
my homebuilt telmetry set going (Apple 2plus doing the conversion) and my
Skylab falling helmet on...

Putin's War: 'China, U.S. Share One Interest in Ukraine Right Now.' LISTEN
While Russia's economy collapses under sanctions and Putin's army bombs Ukraine, the U.S. is closely following China's response to the war, hoping it doesn't get involved, says Haaretz analyst Alon Pinkas

Haaretz Weekly
The U.S. and China share a common interest in Ukraine, which both are not admitting publicly at the moment, says senior Haaretz analyst Alon Pinkas on the latest episode of the Haaretz Weekly podcast.
"It's a tragic conclusion, but they both share one interest which they will never say out loud, and that is for the war to go on for a few more weeks," he said in a conversation devoted to the diplomatic triangle of the Biden administration, China and Vladimir Putin's Russia.
"The U.S. and China, each for their own interests, want a weakened Russia," Pinkas explained, noting that Russia is suffering from the crushing international sanctions placed on its economy, and failing in its attempt to use the invasion of Ukraine to reposition itself as a major power on the world stage. Pinkas added that before the war in Ukraine, China viewed Putin as 'a potential asset', but now sees the Russian leader as more of a liability.
Listen to his full converastion with host Amir Tibon, starting at time code 18:24. They also discuss the possibility that China could end Putin's war, and what risks Beijing will be taking if it decides to help Russia overcome the sanctions.
Earlier on this episode, Haaretz correspondent Anshel Pfeffer with an update from bombarded Kyiv on the latest developments in the war.

Robotics Berserker Wiring
Discussion in 'Approved' started by Ryanatorx, Sep 9, 2021.

Name: Berserker Wiring
AKA: ‘Revenant’, ‘Keep Killing’, The Worst Goddamn Thing I’ve Ever Seen Happen to A Man, ‘Highlander’
Description: Berserker wiring is a cybernetic implant that is not visible externally, but shows up on any depth scan. It consists of a spinal reinforcement with a small ‘core’ near the tailbone. The electric components and core are covered with a thin layer of cerulium, protecting it and its functions from EMP interference.
-Allows a dead body to continue to fight for up to a minute (10 turns)
Conditional Abilities (Optional):
-Prevents brain-scanning post-mortem
-If the spine is broken BEFORE the implant activates, does not kill the user
-Only activates when the user is dead or sufficiently dying
-Does not target unconscious targets (or those playing dead)
-Must be specially developed for extremely alien biologies (ie, shifters, remnants)
-Can survive electric shocks, but will still seize up like most people do when tazed or electrified
-Simple combat AI, which doesn't take cover and will often advance straight at targets
-Particularly bad with follow-up shots with firearms. Shots will be low-accuracy and there is generally poor recoil control. Most often, the firearm will be used to suppress while the gap is closed to the point where accuracy doesn't matter or other weapons can be employed
Conditional Limitations (Optional):
-Fries the user’s brainstem when activated, ensuring that they are actually dead
-Very often, a user will be unable to receive the cybernetic due to rejection risk
-If the spine is broken, the implant loses nervous connection, leading to a defeat
-If the heart is shot, the implant ceases to function, as it also supercharges the heart while active and relies on the heart to function
How does it work:
Berserker wiring is a cybernetic device which hijacks the user’s nervous system after they receive critical damage. At that point, a combat AI seizes control of their remaining bodily functions and uses their body to attempt to kill everything else within sensory range. It relies on remaining senses, which are also hijacked, to find targets to kill. Due to a lack of precision, it is unable to aim guns, but is still fully capable of firing them with low accuracy. All melee attacks are made with full strength that may rip muscles due to a lack of fine control.
The user will be slack-jawed and have zombie-like motions as it moves, given that the AI is not wasting precious power on those functions. Their jaw still works and can still bite, but will hang like this until needed. It has some short-term memory which is used to gain awareness as it rips such information from the mind of the user, frying them in the process. This tells it what equipment it has to work with as it completes basic tactics. It does not take cover, but will use guns to suppress fire while closing the gap to shoot with high accuracy or apply melee weapons. It will use impromptu weapons, but barring those it will attempt to use its hands to kill targets. Also stored in the memory are common weak-points for main-line species, telling it to do things like ‘snap necks’ and ‘stab kidneys.’
That doesn’t tend to matter, because the cybernetic ALWAYS fries neural pathways when seizing control, ensuring the user is quite dead and beyond recovery. It will continue to fight for up to a minute, at which point it loses power, or until the body is physically no longer capable of fighting (such as by being reduced to a puddle).
Additionally, breaking the spinal column or destroying the core will disable the device, potentially even before it is activated. If this occurs, the user will not die from the cybernetic- only the risk of dying from their associated injuries. The implant also super-charges the heart, forcing it to work overtime while active, as well as constricting veins as much as possible when blood loss is serious. This helps prevent the user from ceasing due to blood-loss until after the implant is finished.

He had no way of expecting the torture of having his mind torn apart while his body became a final weapon.
Berserker wiring was originally developed with the intention of being a combat aid for soldiers. However, in early tests, it led to too many blue-on-blue incidents and was subsequently scrapped.
As with so many other such projects, the developers stole it and moved to the Fringe, finding work with corporations. In this specific case, the project head found himself at Synapse Automation Solutions, a robotics company with loose morals and a willingness to fund further development of the project for wider sale.
Referenced Technologies (Optional):
Attainability: Semi-closed
ICly, this technology is only installed on individuals who do not have high risk of cybernetic rejection by the designer, who works for Synapse Automation Solutions. OOCly, the combat implications of this deserve some degree of control. There is intention of restricting to players who are not expected to abuse or use it poorly in CRP, and so staff will be consulted when one attempts to set up the surgery.

Update 10/13/2021: Now allowing weird anatomies with additional roleplay. They still require death for activation, but might work slightly differently. For instance, a shifter who manages to get Wiring and have it activate will have their body uncontrollably shapeshifter during the rampage. Other limitations still apply.

LandScape: a simple method to aggregate p--Values and other stochastic variables without a priori grouping
In many areas of science it is custom to perform many, potentially millions, of tests simultaneously. To gain statistical power it is common to group tests based on a priori criteria such as predefined regions or by sliding windows. However, it is not straightforward to choose grouping criteria and the results might depend on the chosen criteria. Methods that summarize, or aggregate, test statistics or p-values, without relying on a priori criteria, are therefore desirable. We present a simple method to aggregate a sequence of stochastic
variables, such as test statistics or p-values, into fewer variables without assuming a priori defined groups. We provide different ways to evaluate the significance of the aggregated variables based on theoretical considerations
and resampling techniques, and show that under certain assumptions the FWER is controlled in the strong sense. Validity of the method was demonstrated using simulations and real data analyses. Our method may be a useful supplement to standard procedures relying on evaluation of test statistics individually. Moreover, by being agnostic and not relying on predefined selected regions, it might be a practical alternative to conventionally used methods of aggregation of p-values over regions. The method is implemented
in Python and freely available online (through GitHub, see the Supplementary information).

Beauty / Health
What you need to know about gyms reopening in NSW
Good news. New South Wales will lift the restrictions on gyms and fitness centres from June 13. This means that many facilities will be able to open and resume (almost) normal business.
The ease of restrictions applies to a number of centres including yoga and pilates studios, gyms, saunas and indoor pools. The news comes as new infections in the state flatline.
But there are still a few restrictions to be aware of. If you're someone who loves taking classes, you'll likely need to book well in advance. Classes will be capped at 10 people per session. So, you'll certainly need to make an early booking for the more popular gym classes.
And if you are someone that trains at a large or very popular centre, remember that there will be a maximum of 100 people allowed in at any one time.
Tattoo and massage centres will also be allowed to reopen from the June 13. And children's community sports will be allowed to recommence from July 1.
NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard said that there's been a high demand for gyms and fitness centres to reopen.
"There's a lot of people desperate to get back in there and the [Deputy Premier] and I are just desperate to get back into the gymnasiums," he said.
Any fitness centre attendees will be required to sign in. Gyms and centres will be assisting with potential coronavirus tracing by requiring guests to leave their details, and maintaining a four-square-metre rule.
Brad Hazzard has said fitness centres won't be exactly business as usual but "it sure as heck is going to be as close as possible".
Deputy Premier John Barilaro offered his own tongue-in-cheek advice to those looking to get back into the gym. "Summer bodies are built in winter," he said.
The news comes after beauty salon, beauty therapists and estheticians were able to reopen their doors, and recreational travel was allowed from June 1.
This is an important step in the direction of economic recovery. More businesses reopening means more jobs and more work available for Australians. But it is crucial for us to observe any mandated social-distancing restrictions, like keeping 1.5 metres apart from other people in public spaces. These steps will help us avoid a second coronavirus wave.
Western Australia, South Australia the ACT and Northern Territory have also reopened fitness facilities. As for Victoria, Tasmania and Queensland, these states are currently working on timelines to reopen fitness centres.

Badecker Gets Them Back With a River Check-Raise
Andrew Badecker
Robbie Verspui limped in and Andrew Badecker made it 120,000 to play, Verspui didn't take long to make this call. The flop was {Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Badecker bet 110,000 and Verspui made the call before both players checked the {9-Hearts} turn, the river was the {2-Hearts} and Badecker checked again, this time Verspui bet 175,000.
Badecker sat blinking at the table and then check-raised to 535,000 and Verspui called quickly but couldn't beat his opponent's {K-Spades}{2-Spades} for rivered trip deuces.

Making Do Monday - FREE PATTERN - Cozy Hat
I make's good for my marriage!
Yep, that's right. It's better than counseling, because it prevents us from needing couseling.
Ok - maybe I should explain.
I'm a control freak. Especially when it comes to driving. My husband is a terrific driver. He's safe; he's responsible; he's reliable; he's know, all those things you are supposed to be when you are behind the wheel. HOWEVER, the rest of the world...not so much! It seems that lane lines have become optional, speed limits are mere suggestions, and common courtesy is out-dated. Glance in any window on the interstate and you can pretty much guarantee that the driver is talking on the phone, texting, or checking their email. I think my life is shortened by one year every time I am on a highway!
So how does this relate to hats???
I make them. In the car. While my husband drives.
I can happily crochet, still carry on a conversation, and never have the opportunity to glance up and see the swerving vehicles, drifting tractor trailers, and teeny-tiny little lanes through the construction zones. I used to try to read, but every time I wanted to talk to my husband I looked up...not good! I tried just talking about really riveting things, but then I could still see everything that is going on...not good! I've occassionally tried to sew, but bumps result in finger pricks, then my eyes wander, and get the picture.
Then one day I brought some yarn along on a trip, and before I knew it we were there. I hadn't gasped, gripped the mercy bar, or hissed, "They're stopping!" at my husband even one time. He was smiling; I was smiling; We were happy! It was a minor miracle!
So now...I make hats.
And in honor of the month of October and the return of cool weather I'm sharing my SUPER-SIMPLE Cozy Hat pattern. This pattern is easily adjustable from newborn to adult. You will need basic crochet knowledge, but I mean BASIC. And if you've never crocheted, but still want a hat...let me know. I have LOTS of them. One for every ride I've taken in the last 6 months:) Did I mention that we recently purchased some land in the mountains??? It's only going to get WORSE!
And how, might you ask, is this a Making Do Monday project? Well, each one of these takes about half a skein of yarn (even less for the newborn hat), so it's a great way to use up bits and pieces of yarn that are left over from other projects.
Cozy Hat Pattern:
You will need - 1 skein of medium weight yarn (a 4 or 5 weight will work), crochet hook (H)
Size - Pattern is written for an adult. Stitch count changes are in parentheses for 0-6 months, 6-12 months, and 2-6 years respectively.
Row 1: Chain 24(13, 16, 21).
Row 2: Skip chain stitch and single crochet in BACK LOOPS of each stitch, 23 (12, 15, 20) stitches in all. Chain 1.
Rows 3+: Repeat Row 2 until piece measures approximately 20 (13, 15, 18) inches (. BE SURE TO STITCH AN EVEN NUMBER OF ROWS!
Last Row: Fold hat right sides together and match up end rows. Skip chain stitch and single crochet in each pair of stitches (pass hook through loops of both ends of piece with each stitch). 23 (13, 15, 18) stitches.
Tie off. Clip yarn leaving long tail (25+" long).
Weave tail around circumference of hat. Pull tightly to gather top of hat. Tie off and clip strings. Turn hat right side out and fold up edge if desired.
1. Love the hats and love the story!
2. love them, I really need to learn to crochet. Any good tutorials/videos you've seen to learn?
3. I learned to knit using the videos on the Lion Brand website. They have crochet videos too. There's a link in the column on the right:)
4. thanks, seems like a great fall/winter activity while we watch football. I think I'm like you in that I have a hard time sitting still without working on something!

ACL implementation first draft
Anatoliy Atanasov anatoliy.atanasov at
Tue Apr 7 08:59:12 GMT 2009
Hi List,
I uploaded our work on ACL implementation at:
branch: master-acl
It is based on WSPP documentation and it follows the algorithms described there directly.
The code isn't working, but contains almost all the functionality required for this task.
There are a couple of test cases already added, which run against Windows 2003.
What we didn't implement yet is:
* rename
* delete tree
* some special cases of nTSecurityDescriptor
In the following days to SambaXP we plan to focus on:
* your feedback
* adding test cases
* testing the code
Nadezhda and Anatoliy

Acne and Skin Health Probiotics probiotics p acnes
Acne and spots are caused by a variety of factors.
Acne is caused by skin inflammation, which mostly affects the sebaceous glands, which generate sebum, the natural oil that keeps the skin moisturized. Excess sebum and dead skin cells clog the follicles of the skin (appearing as blackheads). These clogged pores provide fertile habitat for infection and inflammation to spread. Papules (red bumps) and pustules are the two types of spots that appear (whiteheads). Although there are a variety of causes that might cause acne, such as hormonal, nutritional, and environmental factors, gut health should also be taken into account. probioticseverything.comprobiotics p acnes
What role does gut health play in skin health, and why?
The health of the gut microbiome, a collection of bacteria that dwell in our gut, has a significant impact on gut health. The gut microbiota has far-reaching implications on gut health as well as the rest of the body. Many common skin illnesses, such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne, have been linked to it. probioticseverything.comprobiotics p acnes
The gut-skin axis is a mechanism via which the gut can influence skin health. Because the stomach contains 70% of our immune cells, our gut microorganisms can influence immune cell function. This should result in more anti-inflammatory messengers (cytokines) being produced and fewer pro-inflammatory cytokines being produced. However, dysbiosis, or an imbalance in the gut microbiota between friendly and dangerous bacteria, is common in acne and can negatively affect our immune responses. You might want to read the article What is Dysbiosis? for additional information. probioticseverything.comprobiotics p acnes
The spaces between the cells lining the gut get bigger in response to dysbiosis, inflammation, or infection, resulting in “leaky gut.” Probiotics, or beneficial gut bacteria, prevent the growth of pathogens, or dangerous bacteria, and strengthen the gut wall lining. However, when pathogen overgrowths damage the gut wall, the contents of the stomach leak through this unusually permeable lining, causing an immune cell response and producing inflammation in the body, which may lead to acne formation. Bacterial by-products can also get past the gut wall lining and into the bloodstream, where they can dry and stiffen the skin. probioticseverything.comprobiotics p acnes
The microbiome of the skin
The skin microbiome, like the gut microbiome, is colonized by its own group of bacteria. Staphylococci, Corynebacteria, Propionibacterium, Brevibacterium, and Micrococci are some of the most common bacteria found on the skin. The makeup of the skin microbiome differs from person to person depending on factors such as age, gender, and environment. probioticseverything.comprobiotics p acnes
Acne is caused by the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes colonizing the skin, which can cause an inflammatory reaction. Antibiotics are the initial line of treatment for acne vulgaris. Antibiotic resistant strains of Propionibacterium acnes have been on the rise in recent years, and antibiotics can have unpleasant side effects. Acne sufferers may turn to alternate solutions like probiotics to help manage their acne or mitigate the side effects of antibiotics. probioticseverything.comprobiotics p acnes
Is it true that probiotics can assist with acne?
Probiotics are gaining popularity as a treatment for acne and other skin issues, but how can they help? Let’s have a look at the various ways they could be beneficial. probioticseverything.comprobiotics p acnes
Reduce inflammation — Because acne is an inflammatory disorder, Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria strains have been demonstrated to reduce the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-, IL-6, and IL-8 while increasing the release of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10. probioticseverything.comprobiotics p acnes
Reduce oxidative stress – As a result of metabolic activities in the body, the body naturally creates free radicals. Antioxidants in our diets, such as those found in brightly colored fruits and vegetables, fight free radicals. However, oxidative stress occurs when too many free radicals are created and not enough antioxidants are present to counteract their effects. Inflammation is caused by an overabundance of free radicals. There is an increase in oxidative stress and oxidative stress indicators such hydroperoxide in acne. Specific probiotic strains have also been shown to lower oxidative stress markers such as hydroperoxide.

Debt Ceiling: If Obama Wants to Spend, How About Spending With Tax Cuts?
So this debt ceiling thing is confusing the hell out of me.
For one, every President seems to really like it.
Case in point - Bush wanted it raised too.
But do you know who was against it then? Obama.
Because, he wasn't President yet.
Now he is.
Suddenly raising the debt ceiling is paramount.
So to me, the President is like your wife, and the debt ceiling is a credit card. You can't blame her for loving it.
But it's time to cut that card in half. We need to say, "Honey, I love you - but hand it over. We'll live."
The point is, raising the debt ceiling is easy, because it's easy!
In the past five years I put on the weight of your average sized child, because I kept raising my "weight ceiling."
I didn't die or anything, although over time, my wife found me repulsive.
Still does, actually.
See, no one just wakes up weighing a thousand pounds - they become morbidly obese incrementally.
The same way we end up with a morbid government - it expands imperceptively into a bloated monstrosity that smells bad and embarrasses you in public.
And speaking of money - isn't it time we find someone who can explain how spending will help you out of a "spending crisis?"
I don't sober up by drinking more, do I?
Well, maybe I do.
Anyway, you can't spend your way out of spending crisis and you can't tax people to make them prosperous.
But if Democrats believe government spending is the answer - - why not do it with tax cuts?
Aren't tax cuts like government spending - except we're the ones doing the spending. The government is just handing the cash over to smarter people like you and me.
Lord knows we'll make better decisions on what to do with our cash. I have my eye on four houseboys. I need new bed posts.
And if you disagree with me, you're a racist homophobe.

Cow welfare not compromised by large dairies in the US Mid-west
Recent trends in dairy farm structure in the United States include a decreasing number of operations while farm size has increased, especially the share of milk production from very large farms (greater than 2,500 cows). The Upper Midwest has shown recent growth in the share of milk production coming from larger farms. From 2000 to 2012, the percent of state milk production coming from farms with more than 500 head increased nearly threefold in Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
Very large operations (more than 2,500 cows) have also begun to make an impact on milk production in the Upper Midwest. In 2012, these operations accounted for just 0.2% of the total number of operations in these states, but were responsible for over 11% of total milk production that occurred in the four-state region.
Cost advantages of larger farms appear to be driving the consolidation within the dairy industry. These large dairy operations are sometimes referred to as factory or mega farms by activists instilling an image of a place that is not good for cows. Are cows living in larger dairies at risk for more disease and poor welfare? Are these dairies economically different from smaller dairies? Graduate student Tyler Evink and I conducted a cross-sectional study with 15 dairies with more than 2,500 cows in Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota and Iowa that was completed last year. At the time of our study, these herds represented 33% of the operations of this size in the four-state region.
We wanted to learn about their housing and management practices, evaluate animal welfare and get an idea about their economic profile. So, in a nutshell, what did we learn?
Housing and herd performance characteristics
Seven of the operations housed cows in freestalls with deep bedded sand, seven used deep bedded recycled manure solids (RMS), and one farm used 2 to 3-inch RMS layer on top of mattresses. Within farms that utilized sand, three had a mechanical separation system while the remaining four farms had sand settling lanes. Methane digesters were operated by six of the eight farms that housed cows on RMS and two of the farms that housed cows on sand. Eight of the farms housed the majority of cows in mechanically ventilated (i.e. cross ventilated or tunnel ventilated) freestall barns, whereas seven farms housed cows in naturally ventilated freestall barns.
The average herd size for the farms in our study was 4,972 cows (ranged from 2,606 to 13,266). In terms of breed composition, 12 of the operations had Holstein, 2 had Jersey, and 1 had predominantly Holstein and Jersey crosses. The daily milk production per cow averaged 70.3 pounds (61.1 to 80.8) with 3.85% fat and 3.15% protein. Bulk tank somatic cell count averaged 190,000 (133,000 to 245,000) and 21-day pregnancy rate averaged 21.7%.
Animal welfare
We collected various process- and outcome-based measurements, but I will focus on lameness, hock lesions and hygiene, which are three key animal based measures used to evaluate animal welfare.
These farms can have specialized labor on the farm, including in-house hoof trimmers, veterinarians and others, which is hard to do with smaller herd sizes. All 15 farms in the study utilized employee training and retraining protocols, and every farm also offered some form of 3rd party training to their employees.
We found low prevalence of lameness - 16.7% overall, 5.1% severe (cows scoring 4 or greater), which is less than some previous studies. Farms with a trained on-farm hoof trimmer had lower lameness prevalence than those farms that hired an outside hoof trimmer. It is likely that the lower prevalence of lameness on farms with an on-site hoof trimmer could be due in part to the fact that lame cows can be treated right away after they are observed. Hock lesion prevalence was 22.8% and severe hock lesion prevalence was only 2.3%.
Hygiene score averaged 2.5 (ranged from 2.0 to 2.9), which is also good compared to previous research.
In conclusion, these results indicate that cow welfare is not compromised in large dairy operations in the Upper Midwest.
Some economic observations
Cost of production for the year of the study averaged $17.88 per hundredweight (cwt) of milk produced whereas milk price averaged $19.02 per cwt. By category, feed costs were the highest at $9.47 per cwt, followed by labor at $1.90 per cwt, interest and depreciation at $1.76 per cwt, and replacement costs at $1.70 per cwt. These costs accounted for 83% of the total costs. Feed was the highest category as it is in dairy farms across the country accounting for 53% of total costs.
Milk sold per employee was 2,471,242 pounds (amazing!) and the number of cows per employee was 105.1. The farms on the top 50% for profitability averaged 122 cows per employee whereas the bottom 50% averaged 92. In conclusion, these farms were profitable and provided an environment and management that resulted in good animal welfare.

These scripts add back the missing sysmessages into a SCOM 2012 R2 SQL server, which can be missing when you perform a database move or restore to a rebuilt SQL server. These also might be needed when using AlwaysOn and failing over to a different server.
When SCOM is installed, it doesnt just create the databases on the SQL instance, it adds data to the sysmessages view for different error scenarios in the master database.
This is why after moving a database or restoring a DB backup, we might be missing this data.
There sysmessages are important because they give very good detailed data about the error and how to resolve it.
These are for SCOM 2012 R2 ONLY.

error: put-file failed on Junos
In the end, error turns out to be so funny. It is the “~” character which is causing this issue. As soon as I changed the destination
path as follows;
it just went through. Apparently this isn’t interpreted as “HOME” directory in Junos the way it works in Linux.
Another lesson learned!

Many students make me this question and this is hard to answer without demotivating anyone.
In the process of mastering a musical instrument, it all depends on our expectations and objectives. As an example, ir you want to play as a professional you should do as many hours as a professional, that is to say 8 or 10 hours a day.
When I started I used to stay all day in a room playing the guitar and I only left it to eat.
To master an instrument is very demanding and it requires a lot of dedication and perseverance.
This is only applicable to those who want to play as well as a professional, not to those who aim to get by.
Study hours for an amateur:
For an enthusiast who aims to master the guitar at an intermediate level it is very importan to follow these recommendations:
-It is important to spend at least an hour a day and it is more convenient if it is always at the same time.
-To structure the syllabus we need to study (This is really important. If we do not do it like this, we will just beat abou the bush and the time will have gone by without having done anything)
-To review every day in the beginning everything we have learnt. This is very important in order to remember all the contents, move forward and not backward.
-To use all the resources offered with our P.E.M.I. method, whether you work on a phrase or you take advantage of the unconcious state. We explain all this in the book The Vademecum of the Flamenco Guitarist (Original title: El Vademécum del Guitarrista Flamenco)
-To set short and long term objectives (It is important to set realistic goals)
-To work more thoroughly on the part we can not play well. If we only have a mistake in a specific part we should focus on that and not waste our time practising the part we can play well).
-To work very slowly and with the help of a metronome, as well as using your foot to mark the measure all the time (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL)
These are the recommendations I give to all my students, since I have seen they have worked in many cases.

Fibromyalgia (Causes, Risk factors, and Complications)
Fibromyalgia (Causes, Risk factors, and Complications)
Definition: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a disorder characterized by chronic widespread pain and a heightened pain response to pressure. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way our brain processes pain signals.
The term “fibromyalgia” is from New Latin fibro-, meaning “fibrous tissues”, Greek μυώ myo-, “muscle”, and Greek άλγος algos, “pain”; thus, the term literally means “muscle and fibrous connective tissue pain”.
Symptoms sometimes begin after a physical trauma, surgery, infection or significant psychological stress. In other cases, symptoms gradually accumulate over time with no single triggering event. It is seen as a rheumatic condition, in other words, one that causes soft tissue pain or myofascial pain.
The cause of fibromyalgia is unknown; however, it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors, with each playing a substantial role. The condition runs in families and many genes are believed to be involved. Environmental factors may include psychological stress trauma and certain infections.
Here are some key points about fibromyalgia:
• Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain, fatigue, and other types of discomfort.
• Symptoms resemble those of arthritis, but fibromyalgia affects the soft tissue, not the joints.
• The cause is unknown, but risk factors include traumatic injury, rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders, such as lupus, and genetic factors.
• There is no cure, but medications, exercise, acupuncture, and behavioral therapy can help relieve symptoms and improve sleep quality.
Women are more likely to develop fibromyalgia than are men. Many people who have fibromyalgia also have tension headaches, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, and depression.
Causes and Risk factors of Fibromyalgia: The cause of fibromyalgia is unknown. However, several hypotheses have been developed including “central sensitization”. The doctors are close to understanding factors that may work together to cause it.
These factors include:
• Genetics
• Infections
• Trauma
• Stress
Researchers believe repeated nerve stimulation causes the brains of people with fibromyalgia to change. This change involves an abnormal increase in levels of certain chemicals in the brain that signal pain (neurotransmitters). In addition, the brain’s pain receptors seem to develop a sort of memory of the pain and become more sensitive, meaning they can overreact to pain signals.
Other risk factors for fibromyalgia include:
• Gender: Fibromyalgia is diagnosed more often in women than in men
• Family history: If any people have a family history of the condition, they may be at a greater risk for developing it.
• Disease: Although fibromyalgia isn’t a form of arthritis, having a rheumatic disease like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis may also increase their risk.
Poor sleep is a risk factor for fibromyalgia. In 1975, Moldofsky and colleagues reported the presence of anomalous alpha wave activity (typically associated with arousal states) measured by electroencephalogram (EEG) during non-rapid eye movement sleep of “fibrositis syndrome”.
Complications of Fibromyalgia: The pain and lack of sleep associated with fibromyalgia can interfere with our ability to function at home or on the job. The frustration of dealing with an often-misunderstood condition also can result in depression and health-related anxiety.

February 3, 2015 - A Response to Kathy Faust's Open Letter to Justice Kennedy
Recently someone in my Facebook friends list "liked" a shared article which is an open letter to Justice Kennedy regarding same sex marriage.
In the most basic of levels the letter which I have linked to here, states that allowing same sex couple the right to marry promotes a family structure which hurts children.
Now, I've taken the time to read this open letter several times in an effort to get my thoughts straight and I'm loath to tell the author Kathy Faust that she should not "feel" this way because feelings are personal and who the heck am I to say they are not real.
Having said that I will point out that I disagree with a number of her points. So much so that I felt the need to blog about it. So let's see if I can do this in an intelligent manner.
Ms. Faust states that "The definition of marriage should have nothing to do with lessening emotional suffering within the homosexual community." With this I can whole-heartedly agree, because same-sex marriage has absolutely nothing to do with the "emotional suffering" of the homosexual community and everything to do with providing same-sex couples with the same rights, responsibilities, and protections of any other "married" couple.
In one breath Ms. Faust seems to agree with that because she states: "There is no difference between the value and worth of heterosexual and homosexual persons. We all deserve equal protection and opportunity in academe, housing, employment, and medical care, because we are all humans created in the image of God."
In the next retracts that statement by stating: "However, when it comes to procreation and child-rearing, same-sex couples and opposite-sex couples are wholly unequal and should be treated differently for the sake of the children.
When two adults who cannot procreate want to raise children together, where do those babies come from? Each child is conceived by a mother and a father to whom that child has a natural right. When a child is placed in a same-sex-headed household, she will miss out on at least one critical parental relationship and a vital dual-gender influence. The nature of the adults’ union guarantees this. Whether by adoption, divorce, or third-party reproduction, the adults in this scenario satisfy their heart’s desires, while the child bears the most significant cost: missing out on one or more of her biological parents.
Making policy that intentionally deprives children of their fundamental rights is something that we should not endorse, incentivize, or promote."
Here's where I think the flaw her argument lies. If we take this statement as true then the government should jump into the regulation of "marriage" with both feet.
If a single woman gets pregnant and decides that she does not want an abortion she should be forced to marry the father of that child, because to give that child up for adoption would deprive them of their right to both their biological mother and father, as would raising the child on their own.
Along those lines, married heterosexual couples with children should not be allowed to divorce, because again that would deprive the children of their fundamental right to both father and mother on a consistent basis in the home.
People who are unable or unwilling to give birth to children should not be allowed to marry because the sole purpose of marriage and its regulation is ".. maintaining and protecting the institution of heterosexual marriage because it has a deep and abiding interest in encouraging responsible procreation and child-rearing.."
Now, god forbid, if one of the parents should die, as that would be the only way to separate a union, and there are children remaining in the household. The remaining spouse should be forced to marry as soon as possible because it would be detrimental for them to only be influenced by a single gender parent. Really, the government should not concern itself with emotions, its sole concern with marriage is to make sure that children are raised in a two parent heterosexual union. As, such, if the remaining spouse can't find a suitable replacement, I am sure the government can.
Now that I think about it, this should reduce the numbers of children in the foster care or children's homes because no one would be allowed to give up their children. Alright, in the unlikely scenario that both parents die, then the government can reassign those children to another heterosexual married couple. It would be far more important for those children to be in a twp parent, opposite gender family than it would be to say, be raise a relative who is unmarried. That would just deprive the children of their basic right to a two gender parent household.
Ok I admit it I just devolved into flippancy. So let me take a step back. "Marriage" from a civil perspective, not a religious perspective, has been redefined by society informally and formally forever. Yes, years ago people who wanted to have children had to get married. That's no longer true, there are many couples who live together outside of the confines of marriage who have children together. Just as there are many married couple who are not able to have biological children or have no interest in having children. Marriage is not about the regulation of who can and should raise children, no matter how much Ms. Faust may wish it so. If it were then the government has been doing a god awful job managing that for centuries.

1. I find your arguments just as valid as hers. Even the most flippant ones.
My son would be happy to tell her that he's very happy with the parents he's got. The ones who share his stable, loving, laughter filled home. I'm sure he wouldn't want to swap with some of his classmates whose parents fight or are divorced. Or trade with the child of the heterosexual couple who live next door to us. Their kid got to be a little too much to handle after they spent 10 years basically ignoring her so they put her into a home. After several involuntary commitments.
But, yeah, I can totally see her argument about straight parents being so much better for kids. /sarcasm.
1. There are plenty of was for kids to be influenced positively by the opposite gender. That's what Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, etc are for. Being in stable loving homes are the most important and there are too many kids out there who don't have that.

What is Zen-Touch™ ?
Seymour: Zen-Touch™ is a form of body therapy that combines
Zen– A state of being where one is flowing in harmony with the forces of nature. When we experience this place we feel a sense of Oneness… Unity… with the divine. We can all recall times, perhaps moments when our life flowed perfectly. Call it perfection, bliss, joy, love, or a connection with God, this state of ” being” is very healing and perhaps the common state that all humans strive for.
“Do nothing yet nothing left undone”
Touch” –The practitioner’s body, including hands, fingers, thumbs, elbows, forearms, knees, feet are used to make contact with a person’s energy field. A tuning of the body mind spirit occurs as the practitioner orchestrates movements, stretching and holding of points on energy meridians that correspond to functions of the body mind spirit.
Some People compare Zen-Touch™ to Thai Massage?
Seymour: Zen-Touch™ incorporates many stretches that are coincidentally also found in Thai Massage. I actually taught advanced Thai Massage practitioners in Thailand how to incorporate energy work, health assessment and intuition into their Thai Massage. This combination of styles has been called Zen-Thai Touch. The slow holding without any pain has become very popular in spas internationally.
Are there other ways Zen-Touch™ is different than other bodywork styles.
The biggest difference is that in Zen-Touch™ we don’t change or manipulate anyone’s body or health condition. While we may understand the meridians that reflect the extremes of a person’s life (the source of their challenge), it is not our place to change anyone. Instead we hold a space that suggests a possible direction of beneficial energy flow and transformation. It is up to the client to change themselves.
In other forms of bodywork practitioners assess that something is wrong. e.g “your shoulders are very tight and I, with the techniques I have learned, can help loosen the tension there.” This is manipulation. In Zen-Touch™ we assume that everything is exactly as it should be. Perfect. If the body mind spirit is ready for change than we support it but never change someone.
Do you like it when someone says: you are too _____(tight, loose, happy, sad, upset frustrated…) You should change your self? Consider you are most likely exactly where you are supposed to be. Does someone else know what is good for you? or Who am I to know what is good for someone else? Everybody has the wisdom to change when and if necessary. Zen-Touch™ Practitioners support the person to empower and heal themselves. We empathize energetically through our touch what the person is going through and suggest a complementary opposite feeling that he/she might welcome. e.g. if an area seems cold and stagnated, the ZT Practitioner reflects warmth and flow. The client responds or not. Either way we appreciate the perfectness of what is.
In the “Zen”- state during a session the clients subconscious decides whether or when to change. ZT practitioners witness the willingness, resistance or actual changes…. such an honor to be part of this process.
The first step on the Journey to Happiness? Zen ManTrue_edited-2
Accept what is True
Without resistance, judgement or criticism. Accept what is
How to know what is genuinely True?
Cultivate, and Circulate the Chi of the Body
Quiet the Mind, Breathe, Inquire and listen
The next step on the Tao, if any, will move us
Question:It sounds like people who receive Zen-Touch™ will become
healed or enlightened?
Seymour: Receivers of Zen-Touch™ are “response able” for their own healing. The sessions are a thumbnail glimpse and experience of joy, calm, freedom from pain, and a state of peace that is inherent to our birthright as human beings. By facilitating a shift in how one’s body communicates with itself, practitioners merely catalyze changes that a client would have eventually embodied on her/his own (ideally in this lifetime). The change; relief, life lesson, joy, understanding simply comes sooner.
It seems like this might be hard work for the practitioner?
Seymour:The practitioner and client become co -creators of a state of being that expedites change, and improves one’s overall health condition. One of the unique differences between ZT and other bodywork forms is that the practitioner and client are in a reciprocal relationship- they both receive benefit. I compare it to giving a gift to someone you love.
Zen-Touch™ Bow side procedure
Who gets more benefit? -the giver or receiver?
Seymour: Ideally both feel better from the experience. The amount of commitment that is necessary for a practitioner to facilitate this work is extensive. Eastern/holistic theories techniques and practical applications of energy meridian, behavioral, exercise, nutritional assessment and recommendations are all part of a practitioner’s repertoire of necessary skills. The paradox is that while a practitioner could offer so much information and technical expertise to a client, the best work is accomplished when the practitioner gets out of the way so that a client finds his/her own path to healing.
Can you be more specific about the way ZT practitioners do their bodywork?
Seymour: The 5 principles that practitioners maintain while facilitating sessions are the
essential key to the unique approach of Zen-Touch™. The 5 principles when combined with an intuitive application of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Macrobiotic and Ayurvedic perspectives make for a deeply transforming experience. The resulting consciousness of the practitioner initiates deeper change than massaging or stretching could accomplish on their own. Note: The last 4 of the 5 principles were originally taught to me by Wataru Ohashi
1) Reverence: Practitioners address the human body as a vehicle or instrument of Spiritual Development. The forces of nature that govern every movement and function of the body mind spirit are accessible through the energy meridians that the practitioner stimulates. The honor of touching and connecting with someone in this way is accepted with gratitude, respect, humility, compassion and awe. Before a practitioner lays hands on someone he takes a moment to center and embrace the sacred space that is created between client and practitioner.
2) Be Received: Practitioners wait to be called in rather than asserting
themselves on a client. Instead of “Pushing” on the body we are being “Pulled” into one’s energy field, meridians, body areas and tissues. It’s like knocking on a door and waiting to be let in rather than pushing the door open.
3) Flowing: Instead of moving in an abrupt random manor, practitioners, like water, flow into the areas that are calling for attention. Stretches, point stimulation, and various foot, hand, elbow, and knee techniques are woven into a seamless pattern of motion that mirrors the contours; valleys and mountains, high’s and lows of the client’s body.
4) 2 Hands: The use of two hands that are in constant communication with each other connect areas of high energy with areas of low energy. For example A “cool” area in the upper back that feels relief when a nurturing hand is placed there, is connected to a painful high ridge in the mid back area that is “ropey” and slips away when a thumb touches it. By gently connecting these two areas, the body feels how this state of extreme between emptiness and fullness can be moderated, and better balanced.
When life situations are too extreme one may get burnt out, fatigued, and feel pain or resentment. The practitioner points this out by stimulating these areas of extreme and the body usually receives/accepts this message because of the practitioners nurturing and supportive approach. The body listens and spirit responds.
5) Be Natural: each practitioner develops her own style or “nature”. Every session of Zen-Touch™ is as different as the practitioner that facilitates it. The common thread that one will recognize ZT by is the 5 Principles.
Their is another important therapeutic effect of Zen-Touch. Knowing how different parts of the body are connected, practitioners bring that awarenss to their touch creating an expanded holistic affect for the receiver. E G: Knowing that working on the Hara under the right ribcage has a commplementary effect on the right shoulder often helps the shoulder without having to touich it. The more wisdom a practioner brings to a session, the greater are the effects of the work. These effects go far beyond the actual technique.In lieu of any logical method, benefits happen because of a fulfilled connected awareness taking place within the subconscious healing of mind body spirit.
Does the practitioner say anything to the client about these energy dynamics of connected body areas or High and Low – Full and Empty?
Seymour: At the end of a session the practitioner will often explain what she finds using the” 5 Element/Season model” which integrates one’s health condition with the cycles of nature. For example, a high/ full energy area might correspond to excess “summer-like” flamboyance, excitement and passion (that may actually be compulsion). This hyper activity can be a distraction from the person’s need to honor the “Fall –like” calling for acknowledgement- “harvest” of one’s individuality and self/soul awareness. The gathering of one’s unique soul expression may have out of fear, been denied and relatively empty for so long”. A practitioner may offer, exercises, foods, and way of life suggestions that will enhance and support the client’s movement towards the resolution of this extreme pattern.
Any last comments about Zen-Touch™ ?
Seymour: If a person wants to expedite their journey on the path to health, in a way that feels absolutely wonderful, I recommend a session either through our Massage Clinic, or Holistic Therapies Clinic (by donation), Here clients will learn how to awaken their natural ability to achieve vital health.
International School Of Healing Arts, is a spiritually based interfaith 501c3 non-profit public benefit organization located in both San Diego, CA USA and Prague Czech Republic. ISOHA presents the work of it’s founder, Seymour Koblin.
Since 1981 Seymour has been an international educator traveling to numerous countries Inspiring the Path of Holistic Health.
Since 1989, Seymour has also participated in founding several schools that are either using or have at one time used his original San Diego, CA name- “school of healing arts”.
In 2014 the 30 year established San Diego state approved “school of healing arts” changed it’s name to International College Of Holistic Studies/ICOHS. Seymour was the founder of these healing schools and others.
Seymour departed from ICOHS in 2015 and formed a new spiritually based 501c3 non-profit organization called International School of Healing Arts based in San Diego, CA and Prague Czech Republic. The Idaho New Leaf, Manchester-UK Kiev-Ukraine and Moscow– Russia schools also use “school of healing arts” in their name.
These schools and others are separate entities. They have no legal or educational tie to each other. Note: Owning a name that has such broad generic words in the title may lead to ambiguity for some especially on the internet in googleyahoobing or other search engines.

Not enough blogging going on….
So. I hate it when people set up a blog and then stop writing…Seriously. Why even start one? You are going to tease me with the idea of you sharing about your life and then BAM. You stop.
That note above is from Lizzie to Lizzie and Doug. We really need to be better about this blogging stuff. Smile Like Courtney. She rocks at it…She gives me something new to enjoy about Riley or her and Kenny EVERY DAY! I stalk it like a crazy person. (See awesome blog:
I really do hate it when I get all hooked on someone’s blog and then they let me down by not updating. It is like when you watch TV for 5 minutes and get hooked on a show and then your cable going out. Kinda annoying.
So here is my goal: To have an update for you to read at lest 3 times a week. It can be from Doug or I, but it must be updated 3 times a week. Deal? DEAL!
And now that I have written it down, it makes it binding. You are the witness. Ok, back to work. Catch you later for more blogging!
Love, Lizzie

The Carbon Footprint of California’s Forests
By Erica Mendoza, UC Irvine, CECS Summer 2020 Intern
The Sierra Nevada’s forests play an important role in the regulation of California’s climate by absorbing and storing carbon. However, instead of capturing and storing carbon, the forests are becoming a major source through fire and forest die off. As a result, the forests are contributing to California’s greenhouse gas emissions and changing climate instead of regulating it.
The threat to California’s forests has become apparent in recent large-scale, high-severity wildfires and tree mortality events. A history of fire suppression and lack of forest management has led to the dense forests. Although current forest conditions store more carbon, they are unstable and more susceptible to fire and tree mortality. Climate change will continue to threaten California’s forests and its ability to store carbon through changing fire seasons, increased fire severity, drought, and pest outbreaks. An increase in high-severity wildfire creates a vulnerable, unstable environment for the carbon to be captured and stored. In 1fact, about 80% of the carbon storage lost from forests from 2001 to 2010 was lost through wildfire.1

California needs to safeguard the carbon stocks in Sierran forests. Management practices that promote open forests result in large, stable carbon stocks less vulnerable to catastrophic fire. The fire-prone material can be reduced by prescribed or managed fire and mechanical fuel reduction. These methods can increase carbon sequestration in stable trees in as little as 10 years.1
Proper restoration will support the ability of the forests to absorb and store the necessary carbon to maintain a balance of California’s total emissions through enhanced resistance, resilience, and response. A forest’s ability to resist threats such as fire will have other beneficial outcomes. A more resilient forest has the ability to recover from inevitable disturbances such as drought. Finally, a forest’s improved response to changes in the environment will further enhance its strength now and in the future. As a result, the stability of the forests as a carbon sink for years to come is guaranteed, reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change, not to mention, protecting life and property.

The Center for Ecosystem Climate Solutions (CECS) is a project focused on developing and communicating strategies to manage California’s vast forest resource and reestablish its role in the climate and in the daily lives of Californians. Amongst the many goals the CECS project has in doing so, the development of remote sensing and geospatial tools that will quantify the effects of forest management on characteristics such as carbon storage and resilience overtime is one of them. This mission of quantifying stable carbon stocks will help incentivize forest management.
This content was developed as part of the CECS Summer 2020 Science Communication Internship.

Weather answers: Dew point vs. relative humidity
Q: Is dew point or relative humidity a better indication of how humid the air feels? My guess is it's relative humidity. Also is there much variation between the dew point temperature from day to day?
A: Dew point is by far the better measurement of how humid the air feels.
This is the case because dew point is a measurement of how much humidity is in the air, no ifs, ands or buts about it. Relative humidity tells you how much humidity is in the air compared with how much can be in the air at the temperature the air happens to be when you measure it. This means that the relative humidity goes down as the temperature goes up even though the amount of water vapor in the air (humidity) remains the same.
To give you an idea of how this works, I used the Weather calculator on the Web site of the National Weather Service office in El Paso, to calculate some temperature, dew point, and relative humidity combinations.
If the temperature in the morning is 71 degrees, and the dew point is 70 degrees, the relative humidity would be 97% (rounded off). As the day warms up the dew point would stay the same unless a new air mass arrived with either more humid air or drier air. Let's assume that this does not happen. If the air warmed to 95 degrees and the dew point stayed at 71, the relative humidity would be 44% and the heat index would be 101 degrees.
On a day like this, you'd feel sticky when you left your air-conditioned house in the morning, and by mid afternoon, people would be walking around saying things like, "Boy, it must be 95 degrees and 95 humidity."
No way.
The only way you'd ever see a temperature and relative humidity both of 95 would be if the dew point were 93 degrees. The only place you would find that high a dew point outside a lab experiment would be some place like the Persian Gulf.
A good general rule of thumb is that when the dew point is between 60 and 70 degrees F most people will think it's humid. When the dew point tops 70, almost everyone will feel uncomfortably humid. When it tops 80, as it rarely does anywhere in the USA, it's likely to set records.
As for day to day variation. The big variations come when a new air mass moves in. Or, during the summer you could have the humidity (thus the dew point) slowly increase if you have a steady wind from warm water, such as the Gulf of Mexico, even though the weather map never shows a warm front actually arriving.
The USATODAY.com Understanding humidity page has a lot more on this.

A Story in a single image
As everyone has left he will sit by himself for a while. Questions rise too many times before and never he got an answer.
Today it was different as he sits on the Pew, some people knew that he did prison time for a crime he didn’t commit.
Now he got his answer, finally free from judgment, because today the real perpetrator let in a speech of his own funarel, read a letter the crime the deadman now admits.

The following questionnaire, prepared by P24 Platform for Independent Journalism, is part of a survey aimed at revealing the conditions faced by journalists in prison in Turkey, either in pre-trial detention or under a sentence. In addition to documenting the problems journalists might be facing during their time in prison, this survey is also aimed at helping improve their prison environment.
Semiha Şahin filled out the questionnaire during a prison visit by her lawyer in June 2019.
Name: Semiha Şahin
Etkin News Agency (ETHA) editor Semiha Şahin was arrested in Istanbul on 13 April 2018 during a midnight police raid on her home. Şahin was placed in pre-trial detention by a court alongside ETHA reporter Pınar Gayıp, and two others, on charges of “membership in a terrorist group” and “disseminating propaganda for a terrorist group.”
Further information about Şahin’s trial can be found here.
Prison: Bakırköy Women’s Prison
Detained since: 19 April 2018
In pretrial detention or under sentence: pre-trial detention
1. Are you detained with other inmates or are you in solitary confinement? How many people do you share the prison ward/cell with?
I share a prison cell with 24 others. The cell can accommodate up to 36 people.
2. How many hours a day are you allowed to go out to the courtyard or prison yard?
We are allowed to go out on our cell’s courtyard between 07:30 a.m. and 08:00 p.m.
3. Have you had any problems regarding the food served in prison? Does the food meet your health and/or dietary requirements?
The food served here is too oily; they also use too much tomato paste, which is unpleasant. This could lead to permanent [health] issues for people who have been in detention for a long period. I do not have any health issues requiring a certain food regimen.
4. Have you had any problems in meeting your day-to-day needs such as heating, warm water for shower/bath, laundry, cleaning, etc.?
No we haven’t. We’ve heard that in other prisons, cleaning supplies were provided by the prison management whereas here we have to purchase the cleaning supplies we need.
5. Do you suffer from any chronic illnesses? Do you have to take regular medication? Do you have access to a medical doctor and/or psychiatrist whenever you need? Have you had any difficulty obtaining your prescribed medicines?
No, I haven’t.
6. Have you had any problems sending/receiving letters?
The letters we have been sent are usually delivered too late. Some of the letters that have been sent to me got lost before I could receive them. Additionally, we are not allowed to send separate letters in a single envelope although each letter is addressed to the same person. The prison management says this is forbidden due to security reasons, but we believe this is an arbitrary practice wherein the prison management aims to boost its financial benefit while at the same time minimizing its workload.
7. Have you faced any limitations concerning books, newspapers or other publications you asked for? How many books are you allowed in your prison ward/cell?
Yes, I have. Socialist publications are not allowed in the prison. We have not been given the Yeni Yaşam newspaper since March 1. The prison management said this was due to the [newspaper’s coverage of] hunger strikes, but although the hunger strikes have ended, the ban is still in place. Also, we are not allowed to get the periodicals Atılım, Özgür Gelecek, Mücadele Birliği, Yeni Demokrasi, Marksist Teori, Teori ve Politika. There is also a limitation on the number of books we can have. Each of us is allowed to have 10 books. We exchange old volumes with new ones; which is problematic regarding long-term work requiring a lot of research.
8. How often can your lawyers or your immediate family visit you? Are other relatives or friends allowed to visit you?
My lawyers and my relatives have been regularly visiting me.
9. Have you been visited by a member of the parliament? If yes, could you please name those who came to your visit?
Yes, I was visited by main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) lawmaker Utku Çakırözer. A number of lawmakers from the opposition People’s Democratic Party (HDP) also sent me postcards of solidarity on special days such as International Women’s Day, Newroz and May Day.
10. Have you faced any problems preparing your defense statement? Do you have access to a computer, to the library, and to your case file while working on your defense statement?
I haven’t asked to use the computer. I learned through previous experience that such a demand would remain unanswered. I have not filed any petitions.
11. Have you been subject to ill-treatment or any physical or verbal harassment? If so, have you filed a complaint, and if yes, what happened following your complaint?
No, I haven’t.
12. Have your demands in your petitions been met? Which of your requests have or have not been met?
I haven’t filed any petitions. I didn’t have any problems getting the books I requested from the prison library.
13. Please name any other problems/demands/shortcomings not mentioned above.
I demand freedom.

From Fri Oct 29 14:48:45 1999 Date: Fri, 29 Oct 1999 11:08:37 -0500 From: E. Ann Clark To: "" Subject: Re: no-till chemical use (long) Folks: mike (son of richard) richardson wrote regarding no-till: > However, it certainly can have tremendous environmental > benefits, compared to conventional farming (deep plowing, disking, > cultivating, etc.) Yes, generally more chemical amounts are used. > However, since the killed vegetation reduces soil erosion to near zero > (major benefit), absorbs chemicals, slows surface water movement, > reduces fertilizer loss, enhances water movement into the soil profile, > etc. then there is less chemical running off into surface waters.

No-till > also enhances soil tilth, reduces fossile fuel use (thereby reducing air > pollution and global warming), lowers labor and equipment costs to the > farmer, and has been proven to maintain or even increase yields. Pasture - which is an "alternate" form of the livestock nutrition (grains) produced with no-till - does all of the above, and better - without need for chemicals in the first place. Let's not frame the discussion so narrowly as to create a strawman-type argument. If we really stand back and analyze land use practices objectively (whatever that is), starting with - what do we grow these crops for in the first place - this opens up a much wider array of options than just no-till or till. Might also add that even well managed no-till inherently and inescapably creates a whole suite of problems (which well managed pasture doesn't), including weed shifts to favor hard-to-control perennials like dandelion and quack. The obligatory dependence on herbicides (to the exclusion of all other approaches) also accelerates herbicide resistance (note Benbrook's authoritative commentary earlier on the increase in mean glyphosate use in the US in just the last few years, owing largely to no-till and RR crops (probably in that order too). In Ontario, long-time no-till farmers (experienced and commited people; leaders in the field) have begun to plow up their land, following several dry years in a row. For reasons that I still do not understand (given all the presumed increase in soil OM and water conservation under no-till (which is disputed, see below)), no-till land apparently has performed worse than tilled land under dry conditions. I'd have thought the reverse. It may have something to do with the accumulation of macropore space opening directly to the surface, conveying water too readily down to tiles before it can be absorbed. These same uninterrupted macropores, by the way, also convey liquid manure, herbicides, and anything else that has been surface applied directly down to tiles and out into surface water systems - completely bypassing buffer strips and other vehicles recommended to protect the integrity of watercourses. Colleagues in Land Resource Science tell me that no-till slows down the rate of loss of OM under annual arable cropping, but does NOT increase full-profile soil OM. Distribution is affected, with more concentrating in the surface layers, but less in the lower layers, with a net effect that total OM does NOT increase. The only way to materially increase soil OM is to withhold the land from cultivation under a perennial sod - like a pasture or hay field. And then there is the issue of N-use efficiency. I recall a paper co-authored by Rennie (former dean of ag at Sask and major proponent of conservation tillage) showing the potential for anaerobic microsites and anaerobiosis under surface vegetation on no-tilled land in the spring promoted denitrification and N-loss on wheat land. The amounts were fairly hefty if memory serves - say, 20-50 kg N/ha. Surface residues also keep soil colder longer, which effectively shortens the growing season in a short season climate, such as we have in Canada. Surface residues, particularly in combination with cold, can also retard plant establishment and seedling vigor, promoting susceptibility to a range of soil damping-off and other pathogens. Only certain crops *can* be grown no-till, which reduces rotation complexity and hampers the ability to constructively design rotations to deal with weed, pest, and nutrient management issues. Another unintended effect of no-till is leaving allelochemically active residues on the soil surface, where they can impact weed and subsequent crop growth. As it happens, one of the major no-till crops in Canada is no-till wheat. Research by Purvis et al., in Australia, has shown that the allelochemics released by decomposing wheat straw stimulate wild oat germination and growth. Thus, failure to incorporate the residues created a mega-problem with wild oats. And wild oats are a major problem in the prairies, which have adopted no-till wheat with a vengence. So, from a different (pro-pasture, admittedly) vantage point, no-till is a proprietary band-aid to patch up a arable crop technology (annual tillage to produce annual grain crops) that is fundamentally at odds with the ecological integrity of farm land. The problem(s) with tillage is soil erosion and degradation, with consequent effects on related processes, as water use efficiency. So, no-till addresses those issues, but in so doing, creates a suite of other issues. Pasture - which is what ruminants are actually evolved to eat in the first place - avoids most of these issues entirely (granted, you have to manage it to avoid overgrazing, erosion, etc.). Admittedly, pasture also creates some potential problems, relating to soil compaction (and water infiltration etc.) and N leaching/volatilization - although these are at least partly managable through such practices as restricting labile N (less chemical N; lower % legume). Management intensive grazing is a largely non-proprietary technology which can be mastered by men, women, and children, can be a useful (if not sole) source of nutrition year-around (even in Canada), and can retain a much larger share of farm gate receipts in the hands of farmers than no-till, conventional till, or any kind of annual arable cropping. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why commodity-specific subsidy/entitlement programs always favor annual crops and completely omit pasture (and often hay) crops.

Loopback and Output action
asked 2015-02-10 09:04:33 -0800
namnx87 gravatar image
As I understand, if the Outport of rules is similar to Inport, the Output action will not work, we have to use Loopback action to handle this case.
Is there any nice way to combine two actions in one rule (any inport -> forward to port A) ?
edit retag flag offensive close merge delete
Could you rephrase the question? The way I get your question, you want packets coming in on any port to be looped back *and* sent out of port A, right?
Vishal Thapar ( 2015-02-13 05:53:32 -0800 )edit
Hello, I want packets coming in any port will be sent out of port A. So I tried this: Match (any inport)->Output(A) But this rule does not work for packets coming from port A.

No, I don't think it is possible with standard openflow actions as it involves two different actions [loopback and output:A] based on two matches [inport=A, inport=any]. You will need two flows for this, with in_port=A,actions=output:loopback being the higher priority one.

It worked for me. Thank you very much.

The Middle East and our addiction to oil
Terrific OpEd column by Tom Friedman in the NYT.
For the last 50 years, America (and Europe and Asia) have treated the Middle East as if it were just a collection of big gas stations: Saudi station, Iran station, Kuwait station, Bahrain station, Egypt station, Libya station, Iraq station, United Arab Emirates station, etc. Our message to the region has been very consistent: “Guys (it was only guys we spoke with), here’s the deal. Keep your pumps open, your oil prices low, don’t bother the Israelis too much and, as far as we’re concerned, you can do whatever you want out back. You can deprive your people of whatever civil rights you like. You can engage in however much corruption you like. You can preach whatever intolerance from your mosques that you like. You can print whatever conspiracy theories about us in your newspapers that you like. You can keep your women as illiterate as you like. You can create whatever vast welfare-state economies, without any innovative capacity, that you like. You can undereducate your youth as much as you like. Just keep your pumps open, your oil prices low, don’t hassle the Jews too much — and you can do whatever you want out back.”
It was that attitude that enabled the Arab world to be insulated from history for the last 50 years — to be ruled for decades by the same kings and dictators. Well, history is back. The combination of rising food prices, huge bulges of unemployed youth and social networks that are enabling those youths to organize against their leaders is breaking down all the barriers of fear that kept these kleptocracies in power….
Friedman thinks that the first thing the Obama administration should do is
to impose a $1-a-gallon gasoline tax, to be phased in at 5 cents a month beginning in 2012, with all the money going to pay down the deficit. Legislating a higher energy price today that takes effect in the future, notes the Princeton economist Alan Blinder, would trigger a shift in buying and investment well before the tax kicks in. With one little gasoline tax, we can make ourselves more economically and strategically secure, help sell more Chevy Volts and free ourselves to openly push for democratic values in the Middle East without worrying anymore that it will harm our oil interests. Yes, it will mean higher gas prices, but prices are going up anyway, folks. Let’s capture some it for ourselves.
It’s a good idea, but can you imagine the current US Congress passing that?

Continuing from my previous discussion on degoogling my life, and particularly on not being a customer of what is ultimately an advertising company:
De-Googling my life - Introduction
I'm beginning the process of switching away from google as much as I can. There are several issues I have with continuing to use their services.
Google is an advertising company. When you use one of their products you are not their customer. Google's primary goal is to find a way to advertise to you. This has several consequences. Most troubling is that, in the persuit of this goal, all their software will collect an uncomfortable amount of information about the people using it. Gmail scans your email, search keeps track of everything you search, Google Maps for Android is constantly tracking your location, even more insidiously Google Play Store does the same. Google chrome tracks, well, every place you go. I'm fairly sure that Google Analytics primarily exists in large part to track users who are not part of the Google ecosystem, which is particularly intrusive since this is done without any consent.
Besides the privacy issue, not being google's customer changes the relationship you have with the company. Try getting in touch with anyone at Google, Facebook, or Instagram. Even if something serious happened. It's nearly impossible. (I can speak from experience here). These companies are not really beholden to you because you are not their customers, and they only care about user experiences in aggregate.
They exibit a lot of monopolistic behavior. Many of their services were not developed by google but were acquired. This includes: Google Docs, Youtube, Android, Google Voice...I suspect this list continues for quite a bit.
Now, I was/am a heavy user of Google. I've been using their search since the early 2000s, I've been using GMail since the days it required an invitation to join. I heavily use Google Maps. I watch a lot of videos on Youtube. For a while I had switched away from FireFox to Chrome.
Even this website makes use of google. The inconsolata webfont is from Google Fonts. There is a google search bar on the archives page. I've used youtube for sharing music here. And on one post used Google Ngrams.
Some fair questions to ask are: are Google's products always the best available, or are there better alternatives? Is the price of intrusion of privacy really the better option than paying money to a different company that provides the same service? Are there FOSS alternatives? I don't want to be too extreme here: I'm okay with watching a video on Youtube if it's something I want to watch and there is no alternative. But where possible, I want to find that alternative. My plan is to document the effort here.

Lonar Crater Lake - World Third Largest Crater
Lonar crater lake image
Lonar Crater Lake - World Third Largest Crater
Lonar Crater Lake is a saline soda lake located at Lonar in Buldhana districtMaharashtra, India, which was created by a meteor impact during the Pleistocene Epoch and it is the largest and only hyper velocity impact crater in ballistic rock, anywhere found on earth.
Lonar is one of Maharashtra’s best-kept secrets. Lonar is named after the demon, Lonasura, and is ringed by fascinating temples, including one with erotic sculptures reminiscent of Khajuraho. The crater was formed fifty-two thousand years ago, when a meteor crashed into the earth at an estimated speed of 90,000kmph, weighing 2 million tonnes. It gouged a hole that was 1.8km wide and 150m deep and this is the World Third Largest Crater.
Over time, the jungle took over, and a perennial stream transformed the base into a tranquil, green locale.

And yet, for all of its rareness, surprisingly few have heard of Lonar Lake apart from locals and occasional trekkers. From the pack of meteors that plummet towards the Earth – anywhere from 30,000 to 1,50,000 each year – this one managed to create the Earth’s largest and only hyper-velocity impact crater in basaltic rock. Lonar Crater Lake has triggered NASA scientists and officials from the Geological Survey of India to attempt answers to questions like: Why is the lake alkaline and saline at the same time? Why does it support micro-organisms rarely found elsewhere on Earth? Why do compasses fail to work in certain parts of the crater? And what lurks at the bottom?
Most tourists come to nearby Aurangabad to visit the Ajanta and Ellora UNESCO World Heritage Sites, but never make it as far as Lonar. The four-hour drive from Aurangabad runs through picturesque villages and fields of paddy, and ends at the Government guesthouse, an excellent place to start your astronomical adventure.The path down to the lake is slippery, the quicksand on the banks making this a truly treacherous trek. But you forgive the grazed knees and lost shoes for the sheer joy of trekking through the lush jungle, of finding curious minerals like the ancient glass formation maskelynite, and stumbling upon centuries-old, abandoned temples that are now inhabited only by insects and bats.
Places to visit near Lonar Lake
Shankar Ganesh Temple Near Lonar Lake
The forest itself is a haven for birdwatchers, with several species of migratory and local birds such as shelduck, black-winged stilts, brahminy ducks, red-wattled lapwings, blue jays, bayaweavers, hoopoes, barn owls, golden oriole, larks, tailorbirds, parakeet and peafowl. Gazelle, langur, bats, mongoose, barking deer and chinkara also inhabit the forest, along with snakes, scorpions, monitor lizards and brilliantly coloured insects and amphibians.
But it’s at the lake that sci-fi meets religion meets Indian folklore. Take a walk around the temples, each with a legend attached to its name: the partially submerged Shankar Ganesha temple, noteworthy for its rectangular Shiva idol; the Ram Gaya temple, named for Lord Rama’s departure; and the Kamalja Devi temple, which doesn't see much of a crowd, comes to life during Navratri. Your tiny pilgrimage ends with Gomukh, also known as Dhara or Sita Nahani temple (Sita is said to have bathed here), accessible only by an arduous climb. The architecture is unremarkable, but the temple houses a kund into which flows the mysterious, perennial freshwater spring that feeds the lake below. The most significant temple, however, sits in the town. The Daitya Sudan temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, slayer of the demon Lonasura (who also lent his name to the village). Locals claim that the crater was the demon’s den and that the lake’s murky water results from its spilled blood. The temple itself is reminiscent of Khajuraho, with erotic sculptures of copulating couples and ravaging beasts.
The views of this mighty crater lake, the only one of its kind in the world, are bound to give wings to your imagination. Images of ancient civilisations and mighty warriorson gold-plated vimaanas flying over the lake come to mind. Perhaps, there lies a brahmastra within the bowels of Lonar Lake? Perhaps some ancient, extraterrestrial treasure that holds the secrets to our universe?

1. Because I too live in India(I am a student, travel from Canada to India every year) and I have used both the laptops when I was planning to get one for myself. But I jumped the gun and went and got a MacBook 16inch because I already have a very capable windows system.
2. Get a 1660ti and you will be good. Hackintosh I won't touch given you are asking about what is to use. I would go either Ubuntu or lame old windows
3. That maybe due to a bad hdmi... If the problem continues try using your pc without your graphics card.
4. Did it work? The other guy was facing the opposite problem where in he plugged his headset it did a Bsod his was fixed with a fresh install of windows...
5. Well I would have recommended you the 16inch Mac book pro if it wasn't that expensive. How much is the gfx for? Any wifi card would do personally i am always hardwired but a USB would be NICE. Ubuntu has the most number of software for it and is the most popular but mint is also a nice option
6. Most cracks create some kind of a problem. I still suggest downloading a fresh copy and using the key method.90% of the times it won't cause the watermark. And by doing so you will be sure that your hardware is good and if the watermark do appears you will just have to try another key from the net or buy a 10$ one from kinguin or anyother site of your choice.
7. This is a common issue with cracked windows same issue happened to someone also about a month ago I suggest downloading the original windows from their site and getting a free genuine key from one of the sites there are hundreds and work flawlessly his issue was also resolved after this. I had a similar issue with my build too when i made mine. These "original" windows don't fail and even get updates. cracked ones have one thing or the other messed up. If it wast bsod then maybe low framerate lagging games or even sometimes not full utilization of hardware occurs.
8. I doubt it's related to cpu GPU or memory I suspect some sort of hard drive problem run crystal disk and check the health of drives make sure they all are good. Also what windows are you running like cracked one or original?
9. I was thinking to get the EdgeRouter X and configuring sub interfaces on it to its physical ports and just connecting it to my separate switches for cameras and main network will that work. Because a L3 switch will also do a similar thing virtually dividing the switch. But in my case I already have 3 seperate switchs for all the 3 seperate networks but till now they were connected directly to my Router without sub interfaces.....
10. Um UDM Pro doesn't have a L3 switch and I already have Cisco APs not really into Ubiquiti to be really honest
11. Not a lot I need 4 at any point in my network so the cheapest but the best one if that makes sense would be great for me
12. Any suggestions which ones I should get?
13. Any suggestions on what Router I can upgrade to and what switch I should get?
14. Agent Crimson
I need to setup VLans but don't really know how to. I tried to figure it out but got confused. The thing that question me is do I need to do some configuration on my router for VLans? My router is a really mediocre one the one which ISPs give was thinking to upgrade because whole network is full of expensive racks, Cisco switches and APs with a crap ton of cameras but I needed a stand alone unit can't use a server type machine for pfsense or other routing softwares. Also what would be a good around a 5 port level3+ network switch Vlan capable except Microtik
15. OK so first issue is that the router is linksys instantly you can throw good networking into garbage. Now talking seriously did this issue arise after you started connecting your laptop or was there from the beginning?
16. Thanks a lot anyway I will try doing vLans and hope to god it helps.
17. I thought so and I was pretty certain that might be the case but yhe NVR and the cameras are all on static IPs NVR being on 192.168.0. 110 and cameras being 192.168.0. 111 and so on. The model number for the NVR is Hikvision DS-7616NI-Q2. The NVR and Cameras are 4k but are being used at 720p for the moment. Also when I did the setup for the NVR and the cameras the moment the camera were connected my net would stop working like everything on the switch will refuse to connect to net but cameras and nvr would talk normally when I connected it to the isp provided switch router modem combo unit it even made the modem lose connection. And few restarts later it fixed it on its own. It's very weird I checked all the IPs no IP is conflicting and the router and all the devices are also on the same IP series so I am really confused what the hell is going on. Like even if I used my cameras at full res but rate and framerate with everything turned on then also it would be no where near to maxout a gigabit link. I just don't get that why is the camera traffic affecting my other devices.
18. Power is definitely not a problem because the same problem occurs if even I use a 1m cat 6 cable. Will VLans help in performance as I said before the switches for my main network and cameras are different so I just need to set my router to separate these networks.
19. Will setting up vLans on his switch router combo help? As the switches are not smart I can just plug all of non camera equipment in one group and all the camera ones in another group. I can also add a bandwidth limit to the uplink the nvr gets. The only issue is I don't know if his switch router combo supports vLans
20. It does improve but not by a lot and all the cameras are just continuously pumping out data. What can I do? Do I need to somehow separate my cameras from my main network? Maybe assign a different series of Ips to camera so that they only talk to NVR and not my main network. But I think NVR take only one IP and don't work by taking different Ips for Cameras and different IP to connect to the net. If that makes sense
21. Can't do that first both the switches are not managed switches second the router he is using is the modem router combo provided by ISP so it doesn't have protection against broadcast storm. Plus his house cameras you can say are monitored almost always over the net so if I somehow enabled protection against broadcast storm it would disable that port I. E basically cutting them of the net. Plus cameras spit data out continuously so you can and cannot say it's a broadcast storm because the packets are useful but I doubt that the gigabit links are the issue. 2Mp cameras can't saturate a gigabit link on 720p especially when they aren't maxed out.
22. I recently deployed a 10 Camera NVR system at a friend's place and the moment I connect the Moment I connect the Nvr and the cameras to the main switch the network goes ham. Sometimes the network just refuses to work and when it does its slow as hell. Any suggestions what to do?. All Camera are 2 MP IP cameras (POE) Switch for Cameras and the main switch both are gigabit. The main internet coming from isp is 40down 8up.

Chapter 15: Machinations
(This is the last of the re-posts, so the next will be all new. I will try to get that finished this weekend! Must finish this story!)
"Renji," Byakuya's voice said quietly through the soul bond, "I know this is a terrible way to tell you. I would have preferred to say such a thing while walking next to you through the gardens at Kuchiki Manor…with the sakura blossoms falling all around us, and the moon shining down on us…"
"What is it? Is something wrong?" Renji asked, "I mean, besides you being Aizen's personal guest in that place?"
"No…but I…Renji, Aizen wanted to make me his consort, when he becomes king…"
"That's never gonna happen. I'm going to get you out of there! That slimy creep won't…"
"He had Gin make an alteration to my body."
"That son of a bitch!" Renji snapped, "Now, I'm not just going to stop him. I'm personally cutting the privates off that asshole!"
He could feel the warmth of his captive lover's smile.
"Well, as endearing as that is, Abarai, he won't be able to use that way to impregnate me."
"What? Really? Why not?"
"Because when Gin placed the reiatsu chamber, there was already genetic material in my body. To put it more simply, I am already pregnant."
Renji froze for a breathless moment.
"But whose…?" he said out loud.
Then a beautiful smile broke out across the redhead's flushed face.
"Ours?" he asked, already suspecting the answer, but wanting to hear it out loud.
"Yes, Renji. We are going to have a child."
Renji paused for a long moment, letting the full reality of the situation settle in his whirling mind.
"Shit…your elders are going to be pissed, ne?"
"Not when they find themselves in your debt for bringing me home safely."
Renji closed his eyes and let out a soft, worried breath.
"I will, I swear. I will bring you and our baby home safely," he promised, Aizen Sousuke is about to realize what a huge mistake he made, taking my lover!"
"Renji, I appreciate the sentiment. I truly do. However, Aizen has been very meticulous in his planning. It is not only necessary to thwart his plans and, as you would say, 'kick his hollow loving ass.' We must also find a way to restore the natural shielding on all of us who have been affected by the tower."
"I know that. Look, I'll think of something…"
"I will work on trying to purloin information about our shielding. I want you to consider avenues that you and the officers of the Gotei 13 can do to stop that attack from happening. It's a difficult situation. Aizen will be looking at faces and reiatsu and counting bodies. It will be very difficult to affect an illusion strong enough to…"
"Whoa…Byakuya, wait!" Renji said, his eyes widening, "I think I have an idea!"
"Gin!" Toshiro gasped as the silver-haired shinigami walked into his room, followed by Urahara Kisuke and Kurosaki Ichigo, "What are they doing here? Are they prisoners too?"
"Not exactly," said Gin, "I placed copies of them in the cells where Sousuke ordered them placed. But they wanted to see you to see if you might know anything useful."
"Well," said the white-haired taichou, "I did see their plans, so I know they are going to attack the dimension wall and they are going to use a dimensional doorway to fire the blast through. He's going to suck the reiatsu out of the taichous and fukutaichous, then fire it through a focus point at the top of the tower."
"I think you mean he's going to position our lovely Byakuya at the top and fire it through him," said Kisuke, "I think we can all agree that Byakuya's spirit centers are most able to act as a focus. Ichigo's would as well, as a backup, but that sick bastard wanted Byakuya because he plans to take him along when he leaves, and needs to have him close at hand to discourage any rescue attempts."
"But what happens to the rest of us?" asked Ichigo, "Are the ones of us in the tower going to be drained to husks like the ones outside?"
"It's hard to say," said Kisuke, "I have a feeling that since Aizen had to make a suitable environment in here to protect his babymama to be, Byakuya, being in here will actually shield us from the full effects, but the ones outside will still be unshielded…not a good situation."
"No," agreed Toshiro, "We have to find a way to protect the ones outside and then restore our shielding and get all of us out of here before Aizen carries out his plans."
"To do that," said Kisuke, "We'll need to gain access to whatever information we can find about what he did to strip the shielding from all of us. I'm thinking that it's in the construction of the tower, because all of us lost our shielding after making physical contact with it."
He turned to Gin.
"I don't suppose that you can enlighten us about the makeup of this tower? I mean, I know you can't be too obvious in helping us, but…"
"Sorry," said Gin, "I was only involved in such things as developing the reiatsu chamber so that Byakuya could be impregnated, and demonstrating the 'ins and outs' of sexual training on Ichigo. Sorry about that, by the way…but I couldn't let him know what I was up to."
"Right," Ichigo muttered darkly, "Excuse me if I'm less than forgiving about that. Once a snake, always a snake, ne Gin?"
"I understand, and I hardly expect us to kiss and make up, but I would like to be sure that in planning the destruction of Aizen's plans, you manage not to kill me in the process."
"We'll see what we can do, but no promises," Kisuke said dryly, "Now, getting back to the subject at hand, is there a computer? A written source? A person who you know was involved in the making of the tower? That would be helpful."
"Well," said Gin, "He was very closed-mouthed about how that worked, to the point where Tousen Kaname and I became suspicious that he might be planning to leave us behind when he left. He has said, though, that he wants Tousen Kaname to lead the Gotei 13 once Soutaichou is dead. He has not said what he plans for me, although I have a few suspicions, none of them pleasant. Now…the only man I can think of who is both here and twisted enough to construct a shield stripping, reiatsu sucking, canon tower is Szayel Aporro. Last I saw, he was down in his lab, looking over some of the squad two corpses he snatched from out there."
"You say he's in the tower?" asked Kisuke.
"Yes, I can show you…but we'll have to use an alternate route since Aizen doesn't like anyone going down there but him."
"What I meant," said Kisuke, "is that he wouldn't come into contact with the tower unless he had a way to avoid or counteract the effects. I think our best bet is for someone to distract Szayel Aporro and I will rifle through his stuff and see what I can find.
"Hmmm," said Gin, "I think I can arrange a sufficient distraction, but I will need your help, Toshiro. Do you mind?"
The white-haired taichou scowled.
"I suppose someone has to…but I swear, if you try anything…!"
"Oh, don't go getting all hot and bothered," Gin said, smirking, "I promise. No one will harm a hair on your snowy, white head."
"What should I do?" asked Ichigo.
Kisuke smiled.
"You'll go with me and watch my back."
He gave Gin a dark look.
"If anything unforeseen should happen, we want to make sure we have enough firepower to get out of it. Toshiro…are you sure about going along with Gin? He's said already that, while not hostile, he had his own agenda here…"
Toshiro glanced briefly at the silver-haired shinigami and nodded.
"I will help Gin. And I will be on my guard," he said, giving Gin a meaningful glare.
"Well, now that that's decided," said Gin, "You'll all need to come with me."
He led them to a covered vent in his room, then removed the cover, revealing a crawlspace.
"This is the only way for all of us to move into position without being seen. There are too many monitors for us to avoid them all, despite how good I have gotten at it. I will first lead Kisuke and Ichigo to Szayel Aporro's laboratory, then I will return here and take Toshiro to mine."
"What do you plan to do to get Szayel Aporro to leave his lab?" asked Toshiro.
"Oh, leave that to me. I'll think of something good. Kisuke and Ichigo, you will need to wait in the crawlspace until you see Szayel Aporro leave. And once he does, work quickly, because I don't know how long I can keep him distracted."
"All right," said Kisuke, "I think that we're as ready as we'll ever be. Let's do this thing."
Byakuya stirred sluggishly as Aizen's hands touched him, and he heard the leader of the hollows make a low sound of disapproval.
He felt cool, gentle hands washing his face with a wet cloth.
"Wh-what is happening?" the noble said shakily, "S-sousuke?"
"You have contracted an infection…likely from when that fool, Gin, placed the reiatsu chamber in your body so that we could conceive children. I will have him whipped for this. My apologies. I hadn't meant for harm to come to you."
Byakuya gazed at him blankly through deeply hazed eyes and Aizen's eyes softened.
"You are becoming more responsive," he commented, "That is good. But we need to do something about getting you well enough to play your part in what is happening."
"What is happening?" the noble asked dizzily, holding on to Aizen's arm as he tried to sit up and fell back again.
"Don't worry about that, Byakuya. Just rest."
He laid down next to the noble, curling his body warmly around Byakuya's and closing his eyes. Byakuya was careful to show no signs of resistance as the other man's hands explored his body absently.
"I will truly enjoy our first night as king and consort," he breathed into the noble's ear, "I will cut down that useless being, take my place as king, marry you and join our bodies to make our heir, all on the same wonderful day. This has been a long time in coming."
He pressed his lips to the sensitive place just below Byakuya's ear, and the noble let out a soft, quickened breath.
"I am glad that we will be sharing this together, Byakuya. You see now, don't you? Two powerful, beautiful beings like us belong in a place like that, ruling over the three worlds and surrounded in all of the sweetness the spirit realm has to offer. Although," he said, sliding his hand down the noble's slender abdomen and capturing Byakuya's flustered member in a firm hand, "I think I could almost be satisfied with you and forget everything else. You are truly intoxicating, especially now that you have been conditioned to respond to me."
Taichou, said Renji's voice in Byakuya's mind.
Oh, Renji…this is not a good…time!
"I don't know if I can wait until we reach the spirit dimension…"
What is that bastard doing to you?
He caught his breath sharply as Aizen's hand left his hardening member and he teased the noble's entrance.
F-focus, Abarai. What is it?
I thought of a way to protect the taichous and fukutaichous. I told soutaichou about it, and he and the other taichous agreed it looks like our only chance. So tomorrow, Aizen is going to see all of us begin the ritual to place the tower in the inter-dimensional cell.
Byakuya flinched as Aizen's fingers continued to tease him and the man's mouth bit down on the sensitive flesh of his throat.
Are you all right? Renji asked quickly.
I am fine…go on…
Kurotsuchi taichou has something special planned. Aizen won't see this one coming. Just get word to the others if you can. Soutaichou insists we have to do this quickly. We're only waiting until tomorrow because it is the fastest Kurotsuchi taichou can complete his part of the plan.
"I am sorry, Byakuya," Aizen murmured, sliding down beneath the covers and pushing the noble's thighs apart, "I just can't seem to resist you. I know you are not feeling well, but…"
Aizen's hands clenched the noble's white thighs, pushing them wider as his mouth began to pleasure the noble gently.
"Mmmmm…" Aizen moaned.
Oh, this is not happening!
What is he doing? Byakuya? Byakuya, are you all right?
I'm…f-fine, just…he is…
Throw up.
Byakuya blinked in surprise, flinching as Aizen's manipulations intensified.
Think of something gross and throw up. He's molesting you, ne? It'll stop him. Throw up.
I can't think of…anything!
Orihime's cooking! Her spicy candied sushi with the pickled vegetable appetizer!
Oh…oh no, not that!
Byakuya's stomach heaved in response and he tore away from Aizen and leaned over the edge of the bed, only saved from falling into the trash bin by Aizen's supportive arms, as he emptied his stomach violently.
"Oh," said Aizen, shaking his head sympathetically, "I am sorry I rushed things. I couldn't seem to help myself. But you are still too unwell. Perhaps by tomorrow, you will feel better."
"I am…sorry, S-sousuke," Byakuya panted, leaning against the other man's shoulder, "I don't know what happened."
"That is all right," said Aizen, smiling at him as he helped the noble lie down again and left the bed to make him a cup of tea, "Your reiatsu is strengthening. By tomorrow, you should be well again and we should be able to continue with our plans."
Byakuya rested against the pillows and accepted the hot tea gratefully. He sipped at it quietly as Aizen returned to the bed and laid down, closing his eyes.
"Tomorrow night…" he sighed softly, "Tomorrow night, we will lie down in the palace in the spirit realm…as king and consort."
Arigato, Renji.
Eh…don't thank me. It was Inoue Orihime who saved you…or…the memory of her cooking.
Please don't remind me…
Do you what I find really ironic? I am lying in the arms of the enemy. He is asleep. I could kill him now and end this…
But you still don't know how to restore everyone's shielding. There are too many innocent people who would be…
I know. But I would really love to kill this man.
We'll do that tomorrow, Taichou. Get some rest.
If one can rest with a deadly snake wrapped around his scantily dressed body.
On second thought, don't go to sleep.
Aishiteru yo, Renji.
Be careful tomorrow, okay?
You be careful. You are one of the ones Aizen will be trying to kill.
Yeah, well there are worse things than death…so…be careful anyway.
I will be.
(AN**Next chapter…Kisuke and Ichigo break into Szayel Aporro's lab, while Gin and Toshiro distract him. Afterwards, Kisuke takes action to protect Byakuya from an increasingly amorous Aizen. Thanks so much for reading! More is on the way.)

Greg Kailian
Greg Kailian’s work tends to be abstract in form and conceptual in theme. He favors native California marbles and unconventional stones such as basalt, pipestone and onyx, with most works falling in the 200-1000 pound range. Depending on the design, Greg will also incorporate stained glass into his works in celebration of color and light. In more complex, compound pieces; bases and supporting stones become organic elements of the entire sculpture, engineered to rotate revealing different angular combinations of the base and component stones. The resulting sculpture enables the viewer to explore, discover, and enjoy a wide range of alignments and positions emphasizing varieties of line, texture, color, form and shadow. A piece might develop a form inherent in the stone or emphasize and highlight unique colors, veins, and patterns to allow painting with the rock.

What brought you to CrossFit?
Back in 2011, I saw a series of Reebok commercials... people climbing ropes, flipping tires, jumping on boxes and performing other "cross training" movements... Looked pretty intense and it sparked my interest. At the time I was 37, and looking for a consistent workout routine.
I had recently stopped playing Men's Hockey at that time, as the game times and commute were challenging for me. The Crossfit gym in Newmarket had great class time options, so the transition was smooth.
What was your first impression?
After coming to the original (small) Newmarket box location on Journey's End Circle, and meeting Ryan Abush, I was eager to get into my first class... after several weeks of muscle pain and exhaustion, I was hooked, and was coming back consistently 3 times a week.
How has that impression changed?
I get the same feeling and adrenaline rush on my way to the gym to this day... my impression of Crossfit has not changed. The ever changing WODs, and goal setting, has made it an ongoing activity and staple in my life.
What was your best day at CrossFit?
I have had MANY "best days" at the gym... I guess top moments would be hitting milestone weights or finally hitting tough movements. I have recently (finally) hit Ring Muscle Ups, and able to string them together.
What are some of your accomplishments?
I haven't tracked my weight, but I feel I have gained at least 10-15 lbs of muscle in past several years... I have recently started an unlimited membership, which allows me to come basically everyday and work on new goals and movements.
What are your new goals?
There are a few movements I still need; Double-Unders, Hand Stand Push Ups and Pistol Squats... I would still like to put on more muscle, which is becoming easier with the unlimited membership.
What do you love most about CFNAC?
The coaches have been great... they are always able to assist with a movement, or suggest modifications when needed... The option of having two locations so close to my home and working area have been a huge bonus... I have made some great friends at the gym, as well as new clients for my Real Estate business ;)

A bottom-up approach starting with the citizens allows for a relevant and sustainable innovation of public services and spaces. AnthroConsult examines the views and behaviour of citizens and transform these perspectives as starting points of innovation.
Citizens and stakeholders engage in many contexts and may take on different roles such as:
| Psychiatric patients involved with multiple support systems
| Businesses engaging with public authorities
| Users of hospitals, nursing homes, offices or urban spaces
| Ethnic minorities facing particular challenges in the health care system
| Elderly recipients of home care
| Patients requiring communication and health care coordination
In development processes, it is important for decision-makers to gain a comprehensive understanding of the role of their specific service(s) in the complex context of the everyday lives of citizens and stakeholders.

I would like to patent a product in the USA but someone has this product Patented in Sounth Korea, I have called the KIPO, Korean Intellectual Property Offcice, and this patent is not registered in the US patent and trademark office. Can I go ahead and register it in the USA patent office? what are the chances I will get the registration denied?
thanks in advance for any help.
The requierements for a patent are
• novelty
• inventive step (called non obviousness in the US)
• usability.
Novelty is anchored in 35 USC 102, which reads
(Leaving out everything that follows because it treats special cases and isn't relevant here)
Assuming the reason you know about the patent in South Korea is because the South Korean patent application has been published 35 USC 102 (a) (1) contains your answer -> it will get denied if the prior art publication (the korean patent) is found by the examiner.
If it hasn't been published the situation is a little more complex. (For a complete answer see here), in summary, if the patent application is ever published, it can be held against your US application.
If you are named as an inventor on the korean application, the situation is even more complex, but I assume from your question that you are not, so I won't elaborate.
• 1
One important consideration that is not clear from the question is that you must be the inventor of the invention. You can not claim the invention if someone else was the inventor and you are merely copying their invention. 35 USC 101 states "Whoever invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent therefor, subject to the conditions and requirements of this title." May 4 '17 at 21:04
• @PatentPendingGuide good catch, though being the second inventor would be okay

Only Half of America Agrees With ABC's Decision to Cancel "Roseanne"
America is divided 50/50 on just about EVERYTHING. You can even convince 50% of us that someone saying "Laurel" is saying "Yanny." (???)
So it isn't too surprising that while 51% of America AGREES with ABC's decision to cancel "Roseanne", another 31% say they made the wrong decision. And about 18% apparently don't give a rat's ass.
59% say ROSEANNE BARR's Tweet was racist, and 20% believe that it wasn't.
And as you might expect, the results resemble America's POLITICAL divide. Roseanne gets more of a pass from Republican voters, probably because she an outspoken backer of President Trump, both on her show and in real life.
91% of people who voted for Hillary Clinton said Roseanne's Tweet was racist, while just 2% said that it was not.
31% of Trump voters think it's racist, 45% say it's NOT, and 24% are still undecided.
For what it's worth, 87% of African American respondents said they felt that it was racist. Only 56% of Caucasians did, and 49% of Hispanics.
The breakdown was similar when people were asked what should've happened to her show. 85% of Hillary voters think ABC made the RIGHT decision, while only 21% of Trump voters think they did.
(The poll was conducted by YouGov. You can browse all the results, here.)

Hearing Café
Arrange meetings at your local coffee shop to discuss hearing related topics.
Idea at a glance
Is there a café or coffee shop located near your clinic? Why not arrange weekly meetings where community members can discuss hearing related issues and challenges over a cup of coffee or tea?
You could advertise the weekly meetings online, at your clinic, in the local newspaper, and at the coffee shop itself. The meetings can help start open discussions about hearing loss and the challenges of living with hearing loss on a daily basis.
After moderating an open discussion among participants, you could use each meeting to discuss communication strategies and provide information on various treatment options. You could use the Ida Institute's Group Aural Rehabilitation tool as inspiration for weekly topics and exercises.
Café Philosophique is a grassroots forum started in 1992 by philosopher Marc Sautet in Paris, France. His idea was to bring together people in a public forum so that they could freely discuss ideas.
The concept has spread and there are now thousands of Café Philosophique events taking place all around the world.
Potential impact
Discussing hearing loss over a friendly cup of coffee can bring the topic of hearing loss out into the public arena. Instead of meeting behind closed doors, meeting at a café can bring the topic out into the open. People who frequent the coffee shop or see the flyers can get drawn into the conversation.
Coffee shop meetings can also serve as a jumping board to larger, more organized meetings where communication strategies and rehabilitation options are presented.

Stop Making Excuses
Stop Making Excuses and Attack Your Goals
How comfortable are you with your current professional position? Whether you already have a large company, a solid small business, or are only aspiring to start a business—it’s imperative that you ask yourself this question because if your answer is that you are not satisfied with the level you’re at, then you are doing yourself a huge disservice if you’re not pushing hard for the next level and beyond.
If you’re happy where you’re at, have no desire to break into a higher echelon, and are truly fulfilled in your present state, then you’re good! Honestly, you are lucky because most people are not able to find that balance of contentment in their lives; but, if you’re reading this post, it’s probably safe to say that you have a strong desire to grow.
It’s Not a Secret
Yes, there are some people who naturally have certain traits and talents that give them an edge as an entrepreneur, but no matter who you are, it will take thousands of hours and probably years of patient, consistent work to reach a high level of success in your business.
Pretty much any successful entrepreneur will tell you that the only way you can reach your summit, or even a subsummit of the goal you’ve set, is to put your head down and commit to wading through the muck for as long as you have to. Streamline and perfect your product, do all the market research, figure out how & where to sell it… and all the rest. It is thankless, disorienting, and seemingly unproductive work at times, but there really is no shortcut to building a truly successful business… unless you’re a Kardashian.
Why Do We Avoid the Work?
Surely, many business owners reading this are thinking, “Yes, I know it takes a lot of hard work..” —so why do so many of us tend to avoid the hike up the mountain?
1. Laziness
The first thing is simply laziness. We will tell ourselves every excuse in the book, while most of the time, we are just desperately trying to avoid, at all costs, what we know will be an uphill battle.
2. Fear
The second and more important reason is fear. There are so many different kinds of fear from which we have to fight to free ourselves: Such as the fear that we will invest years of our lives in a venture that we truly believe in, and fail; the fear that we will actually succeed in reaching our lofty goal and then not be able to handle the pressure of it; fear of running out of money; fear of the unknown.
If you devote yourself completely to your goal, everything really does tend to right itself in the end; however, there are no guarantees. But even if you fail many times—what else are you going to do with your life? The good news is that once you finally reach the summit, you deserve every ounce of it.
You chose this occupation for your life, and if you still have a passion for it, then the battles are worth it, if for no other reason than the joy of the journey. If you don’t enjoy the extreme level of work it requires to bring your business, or whatever venture you’re pursuing, to a level of massive success, then you should probably pursue another line of work that really makes you happy. There is no reason to punish yourself for something you’re just not into.

The way to Produce a Controversy Essay
måndag, 28 mars, 2016 0 No tags 0
Whilst the classic five section composition is an application seldom if ever employed by qualified writers, it’s commonly assigned to pupils to greatly help them manage and develop their some ideas in writing. It can also be a very useful way to create a complete and distinct reaction to a composition issue on an exam. It has, unsurprisingly, five paragraphs:
• an introduction
• three main body paragraphs
• a conclusion
We’ll search at each type of paragraph, and at transitions, the stuff that holds them together.
The release should start with a broad conversation of one’s issue and lead to a really unique record of your primary point, or thesis. Often an article starts with a ”grabber,” like a complicated state, or astonishing history to find a reader’s attention. The dissertation should inform in a single (or at most of the two) sentence(s), what your current position or debate is, and fleetingly, what your primary human body paragraphs will soon be about.
For example, in a composition in regards to the importance of airbags in vehicles, the release may start with some information about vehicle accidents and success rates. It might also have a grabber about a person who survived a dreadful incident due to an airbag. The dissertation would fleetingly state the significant reasons for proposing airbags, and each reason will be discussed in the main body of the essay.
Main Body Paragraphs (3)
Each principal human body paragraph will target on a single strategy, reason, or case that supports your thesis. Each section will have an obvious topic phrase (a little dissertation that states the main notion of the paragraph) and just as much conversation or description as is essential to describe the point. You ought to try to use facts and certain cases to create your ideas apparent and convincing.
Your realization begins with a restatement of your primary place; but be sure to paraphrase, not only replicate your thesis sentence. Then you wish to then add sentences that stress the significance of the topic and the significance of your view. Consider what idea or feeling you intend to keep your reader with. The conclusion may be the opposite of the introduction in that it begins really particular and becomes a little more normal as you finish.
Changes join your paragraphs together, particularly the key human body ones. It’s maybe not efficient to only jump from idea to another; you will need to utilize the conclusion of 1 paragraph and/or the start of the next to show the connection between the 2 ideas.
Between each paragraph and the one which follows, you will need a transition. It may be built into the subject sentence of the next paragraph, or it may be the concluding word of the first. It can also be a little of both. Expressing the connection between both paragraphs, think of phrases and phrases that evaluate and contrast.
• Does the first section inform us an expert and the next a fraud? (”on another give…” )
• Does the next paragraph inform us something of larger significance? (”most importantly…” )
• An earlier historic case? (”actually before topic of paragraph 1, topic of paragraph 2″)
• A different kind of concern? (money versus time).
Consider your section issues and brainstorm till you will find probably the most applicable links between them. Click to see more suggestions for move words.
You’ll also want some kind of move from the past paragraph to your conclusion. One way is in conclusion your next body paragraph with some reminders of one’s other paragraphs. You don’t have to restate the issues fully (that will come in the conclusion) but you can refer to a depth, or case, or character as a means of taking your some ideas together and signaling that you are preparing to conclude.

'The Ladykillers'
'The Ladykillers' | Mike Parnell
Tom Hanks leads a mismatched gang of thieves in Joel and Ethan Coen's 'The Ladykillers.' (Buena Vista)
Joel and Ethan Coen make iconoclastic movies. Theirs is a strange world inhabited by Bikers from Hell, dumb kids who become executives, and erudite convicts on mythic journeys.
"The Ladykillers" is a remake of a classic British comedy about a group of thieves and an older woman—one of their landlords. That thief is Tom Hanks, stretched from his more current work, but snapping back to some of his earlier roles.
Hanks plays Goldthwait Higginson Dorr, a thief who dresses like a classics professor. Dorr leads a ragtag band of miscreant robbers who set out to steal funds from a riverboat casino. The riverboat is docked next door to Mrs. Marva Munson (Irma P. Hall), a devout Christian woman who is advancing in years, but not so old as to have lost her touch. Mrs. Munson believes in the King James Bible, church and Bob Jones University.
Dorr moves into a room in Mrs. Munson's home. He asks to use her root cellar in order for his group to practice its music. All of this is, of course, a cover for the nefarious task of emptying the casino's vault.
Gawain MacSam (Marlon Wayans) is the inside man at the casino. The others in the gang are munitions expert Garth Pancake (J. K. Simmons), tunneling master The General (Tzi Ma) and Lump (Ryan Hurst), who is muscle for the gang. But this group has major interpersonal problems, and Dorr tries to ride herd over the group just to insure they get the score.
Mrs. Munson is a wonderful character, straight out of the wise fool archetype. On the surface, she looks like nothing but a confused senior, but there's more than meets the eye. Irma P. Hall plays Mrs. Munson with all the fire of a Pentecostal preacher. Mrs. Munson allows "no hippety-hop music, no smoking and no foul language." She is a delight, while playing a near-stereotypical character.
"The Ladykillers" offers a new twist on an old theme. It has been said that you can be sure that your sins will find you out, and this is the sort of tale the Coen brothers give us here. The comedy grows out of a Coen brother formula: When somebody begins to commit a crime, a crime has to follow to cover that first crime. The story goes from crime to crime until there is an end.
"The Ladykillers" is not a classic Coen brothers movie, in the vein of "O Brother, Where Art Thou," "Raising Arizona" and "Fargo." The characters are too broad, and some members of the gang do not get fleshed out well. It will die in comparison to the original, but it is a serviceable story with a sense of morality.
Some may find the ending a bit of a joke, but it does say something about righteous living and how the righteous prevail.
The Coen brothers' movies are like collards: better the second time. Their stories are so multi-layered that they required second viewings, which is one reason why this movie will do better in the home market.
MPAA Rating: R for language, including sexual references.
Directors: Joel and Ethan Coen
Writers: Joel and Ethan Coen
Cast: Professor G.H. Dorr: Tom Hanks; Marva Munson: Irma P. Hall; Gawain MacSam: Marlon Wayans; Garth Pancake: J.K. Simmons; The General: Tzi Ma; Lump: Ryan Hurst; Mountain Girl: Diane Delano.
The movie's official Web site is here.

What do the emotions of animals, humans and machines sound like?
Humans express their emotions in various ways. For example, fear can be expressed as a loud scream and sadness by crying. However, emotions also play an important role in our music and in the sound of our voice. This way the sound of a song or the voice of a narrator can lead us to feel a certain emotion. For this reason, it has been hypothesized that the expression of emotion might have played a crucial role in the evolution of language and music.
Listen to how different human emotions can sound! What could the person feel and which emotions do you feel when hearing these recordings?
Animals produce a multitude of different signals, which are strongly influenced by their emotional states. In our research, we investigate how emotions impact the communication systems of meerkats. Depending on the predator and urgency, meerkats use different alarm calls. However, a meerkat does not even have to see the predator – hearing an alarm call is sufficient to cause a respective reaction.
In this situation, a meerkat has spotted a predator on land. However, the predator is still far away.
Listen to how the call changes as the predator gets closer and the animal becomes more agitated:
Nowadays, computers can imitate human emotions increasingly well. Therefore, it becomes more difficult to distinguish between sound generated from artificial intelligence and human music and poetry. This has become possible thanks to machine learning, which generates artificial knowledge based on previous experiences, similar to how humans acquire knowledge.

Workety work work
Today I am thankful for my job because working here means that I am not working at the job I had two jobs ago, or at the first job I had out of college. I am grateful for this fact because last night I had a dream about someone I worked with at both of those former places of employment, and the humiliation I'd suffer if I had to face him today would be off the charts. Hasn't everyone had dreams about coworkers? It's not a voluntary thing so it's not like it can be controlled, but even though the person doesn't know you had the dream, it still feels like they must. Because there they were, in your dream, doing things that would definitely get them fired in real life. So I am relieved that I don't have to face this guy because my face would be very, very red.
In other work weirdness-related news, I had a lunch pseudo-date with one of the consultants at my company today and I am now understanding the wisdom against dating coworkers. I say it was a pseudo-date because he brought a girl to the Christmas party and for all I know he is still attached, but he did ask me out for Thai. And the conversation definitely had that "I'm running down a mental checklist of potential partner attributes" feel to it. And it was fun. He is cute and nice and funny. He likes Star Wars (this is a plus for someone who dressed up as Princess Leia for eight Halloweens, including my senior year in college), he does yoga and he's a gentleman.
But now I am wary of walking by his desk. Thank god it was just lunch. I can't imagine how people carry on inter-office affairs without one of them having to leave the company.

Who knew that Rogue One and the Beatie Boys synced up so well? Apparently YouTube user Matthew Longua did, as evidenced by this recut trailer of Rogue One recut to the Beastie Boys' hit song "Sabotage."
"Sabotage" amps up the energy in Rogue One by perfectly pairing up the story and the song and making it a trailer you can watch over and over again. Check it out below:

The Importance of Screenplay Formatting

The most fundamental thing you need to master when becoming a screenwriter is formatting. It doesn't take a genius to understand the basics of this unique way of writing, but it is crucial if you ever want to sell your screenplays.
In the space of about two minutes, this is how I can figure out whether I'm in the hands of a professional screenwriter or not. I look at the formatting. Is the screenwriter making basic errors in writing SLUG LINES (INT. THE FOREST - NIGHT) for example, or using camera directions like CUT TO: after every scene or in the way s/he constructs FLASHBACKS.
But even more pertinent to the discussion of screenplay formatting isn't these particulars necessarily but how the screenwriter lays out the page.
What do I mean by that? How easy is the screenplay to read? Is the narrative (the description) written horizontally - like the way most beginners format their narrative (like in a novel) - or is written vertically?
When you write your narrative horizontally you have big, thick paragraphs that are hard to read. When you write vertically it looks more like a poem, and it's easy on the eyes.
How do you accomplish this?
I will have many examples from prominent screenwriters pointing out exactly how this is mastered. The difference between making the read easy on the eyes or conversely, something one has to struggle with, can easily change a positive response into a negative one.
I will also go over all the common mistakes made in formatting.
At the very least, you need to start off with conquering this aspect of the craft. Learn how to do FLASHBACKS, SERIES OF SHOTS, how to get around using CAMERA ANGLES, and how to lay out your page so it's effortless to read.

Funerals with Honors
Special funeral services are held for people who died in line of duty.
Learning about the Military’s Practices
Military funeral services are given to marines, soldiers, pilots, and sailors who died in battle, as well as to veterans who served the country. The family is informed of the death by a service member or military chaplain with a rank equal to or higher than that of the deceased. A dignified transfer is given to the deceased regardless of his/her rank.
The remains are transferred by a military cargo plane to the base and upon arrival, it is greeted with dignity before it is transferred to the mortuary affairs operations center where the body will be prepared and dressed in full uniform for the burial. All personal belongings of the deceased will be sorted and given to the family members, including the things carried at the time of death.
FuneralDuring the funeral, two honor guards will be present and most of the ceremonial aspects are done at the grave site.On the day of the burial, the casket with a flag draped on it is carried to the national cemetery by a caisson drawn by a horse. The casket will then be carried to the grave site by a six-man honor guard team.
The funeral service is read by a pastor or by the chaplain. Afterwards, the American flag will be lifted and held above the casket, and three shots will be fired by the seven-person firing party. Taps will be played by the bugler while the honor guards ceremonially fold the flag of the United States of America. The folded flag will be presented to the family by the highest-ranking official, complete with a brief salute and a statement of gratitude.
What about those in law enforcement?
Law enforcement funeral services are unique in their own way. Each department and precinct has their own special traditions as well.The family is informed in person by either the senior chaplain, department/precinct chief, or the department representative. Once the family is informed, the flags at the precinct or department are half-staffed, and the badges are shrouded horizontally with a black cloth or tape.
During the funeral, casket watchers stay on guard until the burial. Every 30 minutes, a team of two guards will take turn in standing and facing each other at the head and foot of the casket. Honor guards consisting of pallbearers, color guards, and casket watchers are the ones going to help in planning and coordinating the funeral services.
On the day of the burial, the honor guards will escort the family to meet the casket at the staging area. The honor guards will carry the casket and the presentation of colors will be done by the color guards. The chief will start the ceremony with an invocation followed by a prayer, opening remarks, and special remarks (this can be from the mayor, friends of the deceased, family representatives, federal or state officials, or local officials).
The eulogy might be given by the family or the chief followed by presentations and closing prayers or remarks. A three-volley salute or a 21 bells ceremony will be performed, depending on the family’s request. Music will be played on bagpipes and a final radio call will be done, followed by the retirement of colors. The pallbearers will now remove the casket for burial.
Even though the military and law enforcement funeral services are done as a tradition, the family’s decisions are still more important. They are the ones who will decide if they want a full military or a line of duty death funeral.

• My parents were raised in Western Oklahoma, so I know quite a bit about what I’m saying.
The trees I am talking about were planted in the 30′s, usually, along the northern edge of the section since the winds for these storms came out of the north. Over time, 30-40 years of no major incidents, the trees were being taken out for what reasons, I don’t know.
So, learn history from those that lived it.
• After the first dust storms, trees were planted along the northern edges of the state and various properties to make sure this didn’t happen again. Now, they’ve been taking the trees out for whatever reason. I’ll bet they remember now why they were there to begin with.
• Apparently, it is not uncommon for autistic children to wander away easily. There is an organization that specializes in helping families prevent them from wandering. They offer training, fencing, trackers, etc. They have already said they would give this family help. I wish I could recall the organization’s name. I just remember hearing that they would help them.
• “…in the same objective, fair manner we cover every significant story.”
And how does a 24 year old cocaine bust on a candidate’s brother-in-law constitute a significant story?
• The Speaker of the House does NOT automatically become the VP. The position is 3rd in line for succession, yes. So if something were to happen to both the President & VP, then the Speaker would rise to the Presidency. But, if something happens to the President and the VP becomes the President, the Speaker does not assume the VP.

Social Media for Indonesian Teenagers : Is it good or bad??
The behavior of todays Indonesian teenagers tend to negative side. There are many aspects that can trigger this case. One of the factor is most of the Indonesian teenager are still not ready to receive the globalization effects through digital media that is now become a primary media to receive and share information such as from internet. This further leads to the change of lifestyle by following the trend of western lifestyle that they saw from internet. As a result, Indonesian culture is no longer become their main tradition among the Indonesian teenagers as a guidance for them to do their daily activities. On the other hand, this case is almost similar to a culture shock syndrome. In which, once the teenagers see or listen one world trending topic, then this topic can be easily a wide-spread information among the teenagers and most of them will likely to follow the trend without having a prior consideration of the good and bad impact of it.
Second, most of Indonesian teenagers nowadays want to be more recognized among other teenagers. By the existence of internet, it is getting easier to make it achieved by simply uploading their photos or video on their social media such as Instagram, facebook and etc. The current trend of social media among teenagers nowadays is based on how many likes and comments received on their posts. This trend leads the teenagers to post any content just to get high number of likes for their posts without considering whether or not their posts bring benefits to the readers. Even worse, the posts will easily become trend among other teenagers. In addition, A study shows that Indonesian teenagers spend most of their time on internet and the activities done on internet are considered less productive. This negative trend gives a very big impact that can affect the cultural aspects of Indonesia that further can make Indonesian culture and value to be forgotten, especially by the next young generation.
In order to prevent this negative trend among Indonesian teenagers keep going, there are several things that can be done. First, parents as the first media to deliver the knowledge for the teenagers, should protect their children from negative content from the internet access as best as they can. Parents should also control their children by reminding them with certain moral value so that the teenagers can consider about the dos and don’t’s to do their activity. Second, the school as the second media for the Indonesian teenagers to gain knowledge should also conduct some socialization on how to be a good internet users and influencer.

"Indoor air pollution" caused by oil droplets released when cooking fry-ups and stir-frys could damage your health, researchers claim.
As food containing water comes into contact with cooking oil, tiny particles are released through small explosions.
Scientists think a cooked breakfast could be harm the chef's health
These fly out and can burn the nearby chef, as most of us know, but academics think they could have more serious repercussions.
Some molecules are so small in size that they can be inhaled - causing a less obvious health hazard.
Jeremy Marston, assistant professor at Texas Tech University,said: "It's known that millions of deaths worldwide occur due to indoor air pollution, but we don't know yet how much cooking in poorly ventilated kitchens contributes to it.
Foods high in water content such as certain meats, including chicken, and vegetables can be particularly problematic.
Researchers are now planning to take a more in-depth look at this issue.

Researchers identify way to prevent fat cells from growing larger
The study is published online Dec. 5 in the journal eLife.
"This could lead us to a new therapeutic target for treating obesity," said senior investigator Fanxin Long, PhD, a professor of orthopedic surgery. "What's particularly important is that the animals in our study ate a high-fat diet but didn't gain weight, and in people, too much fat in the diet is a common cause of obesity."
After eight weeks of eating the high-fat diet, control animals whose Hedgehog pathways had not been activated became obese. But the mice that had been engineered with genes to activate the pathway didn't gain any more weight than did control animals that consumed normal diets.
"Fat gain is due mainly to increased fat cell size," he explained. "Each fat cell grows bigger so that it can hold larger fat droplets. We gain weight mainly because fat cells get bigger, as opposed to having more fat cells."
By stimulating Hedgehog and related proteins in fat cells, Long's team kept the animals' fat cells from collecting and storing fat droplets.
"More importantly, when we did metabolic studies, we found that the animals with the active Hedgehog pathway not only were leaner, they also had lower blood-glucose levels and were more sensitive to insulin," he said.
Translating the findings to humans could be tricky, he said, and any drugs that activate the Hedgehog pathway would need to be carefully targeted to avoid potential side effects. Certain cancers have been linked to too much Hedgehog activity, for example. But because the pathway is believed to work in similar ways in humans and mice, it might be possible to target the pathway to the fat tissue as a treatment for obesity, Long said.
"If we can come up with strategies to carefully target fat cells, then I think activating this pathway could be effective in the fight against obesity," he said.
More than one-third of the adult population in the United States is obese, and the estimated annual medical costs for obesity exceed $147 billion. People with obesity have an increased risk for stroke, heart attack, diabetes, and cancer.

IVA is a legally binding arrangement between the debtor and the creditors in which the debtor agrees to pay a certain amount in a monthly basis into the IVA in order to clear off his debts. The amount that is paid to the IVA is calculated after analyzing the income and expenditure of the debtor. However, the debtor has to fulfill certain strict criteria to apply for an Individual Voluntary Arrangement:
In order to qualify for an IVA, the debtor must have a minimum amount of debt and the number of creditors.
The debtor or the partner must have a regular source of income originating from regular employment.
If the debtor is a homeowner, his mortgage payments will be taken into consideration as expenditure costs.
If the debtor’s personal financial situation changes during the IVA, the Insolvency Practitioner will act on the debtor’s behalf and submit a revised offer to the creditors.
The Individual Voluntary Arrangement will come into effect after the creditors have accepted the proposal submitted by the Insolvency Practitioner on behalf of the debtor. This proposal is approved during the creditors meeting when it is submitted to the creditors’ vote. If more than 75% of the creditors in value vote (in person or by proxy) in favor of the proposal, the IVA is considered to be approved. However, if any of those voting are associates (business associates, friends or family), a second count takes place during which 50% of non-associated creditors must vote in favor of the IVA proposal for it to be approved.
During the IVA period, if the personal and financial situation of the debtor changes, a new proposal has to be submitted by the Insolvency Practitioner. The creditors will review the proposal and vote for approval. Once the IVA is accepted by the creditors, all charges and interest rates will be frozen.
If for some reasons, the debtor defaults in his monthly repayments, it is more than likely that the debtor will be considering a bankruptcy if no new terms can be found in order to carry on with the IVA. An IVA and Bankruptcy are not mutually exclusive. A person who has already gone through bankruptcy can still propose for Individual Voluntary Agreement. If the arrangement is agreed post-bankruptcy, then the debtor can apply for annulment of the Bankruptcy Order from the court. It then becomes possible to nominate an Official Receiver to supervise the arrangement. This type of arrangement is called a Fast Track Voluntary Arrangement and is only suitable in certain cases.
There are many other articles also in the internet for IVA advice, if you want to know more about IVA to though them.

Jane Austen’s family tree
Like so many other great British female authors, such as Virginia Woolf or the three Brontë sisters, English novelist Jane Austen (1775-1817) was a wonderful and prolific writer, but left no children. But although there are no descendants of the creator of great works like Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility or Persuasion, Jane Austen’s large family is an interesting genealogical case in itself.
Jane Austen, portrayed by her sister Cassandra.
Jane Austen, portrayed by her sister Cassandra.
Jane Austen was born in 1775 in Steventon, Hampshire, the second daughter and seventh child of an Anglican clergyman, the Reverend George Austen, who had himself been born “on the lower fringes of the English landed gentry”. Reverend Austen was descended from a family of woollen manufacturers from Kent and Sussex who had gone up in the social scale several generations earlier. His wife, Cassandra (formerly Leigh), could boast greater connections with the English aristocracy. Cassandra’s paternal grandmother, Mary Brydges (1666-1703) was the eldest child of James Brydges, Baron Chandos of Sudeley, who in 1680 was appointed Royal Ambassador to the Sultan’s Court in Constantinople. By going up a few generations back, we discover that Jane Austen’s family tree is populated by Greys, Staffords, Nevilles, Throckmortons, Fitzalans, Beauchamps, Beauforts and, ultimately, to the most illustrious of all ancestors, King Edward III.
Like her elder sister Cassandra, Jane Austen left no descendants, but their large army of brothers did have in most cases a significant amount of progeny. Here is a relation of their names, their spouses, and a brief account of some of their descendants’s lives:
1. James Austen (1765-1819) became a clergyman, like his father. He was married twice, his first wife being Anne Matthew, who died in 1795 after giving him a daughter called Anna (this girl would go on to marry Benjamin Lefroy, the nephew of the more famous Tom Lefroy, who had earlier courted her aunt Jane and was, quite possibly, the author’s love of her life). James Austen married as his second wife Mary Lloyd, was was not only a great friend of Jane’s, but whose cousin and brother-in-law Thomas Fowle had once been engaged to the other Austen daughter, Cassandra. This second marriage produced a son, Edward Austen-Leigh (1798-1874), and a daughter, Caroline, who died unmarried in 1880. Nephew Edward, who would go on to become his famous aunt’s first biographer, married Emma Smith in 1801 and sired ten children. One of them, Chomeley, married the daughter of the Protestant Archbishop of Dublin, while other male descendants also joined the clergy. Another descendant, Lionel Austen-Leigh, who was “a land surveyor who went to Victoria British Columbia when it was an ‘outpost of Empire'”, emigrated to the United States in 1937.
2. George Austen (1766-1838) was the only one of Jane’s brothers who never married. He was reportedly born an invalid, a general term to describe someone who was either physically or mentally handicapped. Aged four, he was unable to speak properly, and during one of his aunt’s visits to the Austen home, it became clear that the child was “backward”. Suffering from terrible epileptic seizures, the boy never learned to talk, and was finally entrusted to a foster family who took care of him. It was not until he was in his early teens that it was judged safe for his sister Jane to pay him a visit. He died, in obscurity, in the late 1830’s, forgotten by all.
Edward Austen (later Knight), Jane's elder brother, is the ancestor of actress Anna Chancellor, adventurer Denys Finch-Hatton and British peer and film producer John Brabourne.
Edward Austen (later Knight), Jane’s elder brother, is the ancestor of actress Anna Chancellor, adventurer Denys Finch-Hatton and British peer and film producer John Brabourne.
3. Edward Austen, later Knight (1768-1852), was introduced at the age of 12 to Thomas and Fanny Knight, wealthy childless cousins on his father’s side. The Knights decided to adopt Edward, who from 1812 onward used the surname “Knight” instead of Austen. He married Elizabeth Bridges in 1791, and the couple had eleven children, including one of Jane Austen’s favourite nieces, Fanny Knight (1793-1882). Edward inherited from the Knights a total of three estates, the libraries of which were extensively used by his novelist sister. He also inherited the rectory at Steventon, where the Austen children grew up, but in the 1820’s he had it knocked down after the building was damaged in a flood. This explains why Jane Austen’s birthplace no longer exists. Fanny Knight married Edward Knatchbull, Baronet, whose son Edward became Lord Brabourne. His descendant John Ulick Knatchbull, 7th Baron Brabourne, married the daughter of Lord Mountbatten, who was killed by the IRA in 1979 along with one of his grandsons and the elderly Lady Brabourne, his daughter’s mother-in-law. Edward Knight’s granddaughter Fanny Rice (1820-1900) married the Earl of Winchilsea and Nottingham; her grandson Denys Finch-Hatton settled in British East Africa, and his romance with the novelist Karen, Baroness Blixen was immortalised in her autobiography Out of Africa, which was later turned into a movie. Another of Fanny’s grandchildren was Muriel Finch-Hatton, whose daughter Sylvia Paget, OBE, was the grandmother of actress Anna Chancellor, who played the haughty Miss Caroline Bingley inn the famous BBC adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.
4. Henry Thomas Austen (1771-1850) was Jane’s favourite brother. He was known to be witty and enthusiastic, but unfortunately not always successful in his business interests. His wife was his first cousin Eliza (née Hancock), the daughter of Jane Austen’s paternal aunt, Philadelphia Austen. Eliza, who was born in Calcutta in 1761 the possible daughter of her godfather Warren Hastings, had been previously married to a French aristocrat, Jean Capot, Comte de Feuillide, who was executed at the guillotine in 1794; she had one son by her first marriage, but the boy died in his teens in 1801. Eliza herself died in 1813, without leaving any descendants by her second husband Henry Austen. Two years later Henry became bankrupt, and later would go on to become a Calvinist-leaning minister. It was he who would see his sister’s two novels, Persuasion and Northanger Abbey, through to the printing press. In his late 40’s he married his third cousin, Eleanor Jackson (a descendants of an earlier Austen ancestor), but they had no children.
5. Cassandra Austen (1773-1845), Jane’s only sister, was her closest friend and confidante throughout her life. Although she burned many letters written by Jane after the latter’s death in 1817, there are 100 or so letters sent by the sisters to each other which give an interesting and intimate insight into their unique relationship. Cassandra became engaged, when she was quite young, to Thomas Fowle, a cousin of her brother’s wife Mary Lloyd, but it was to be a long engagement without a happy ending. Thomas died of yellow fever whilst in the Caribbean in 1797, and Cassandra vowed never to marry anyone else. The experience may have inspired Jane to write critically of “long engagements”, which she deemed “uncertain” in her last completed novel Persuasion. Cassandra lived very much like her sister, at the mercy of wealthier relatives, and often portrayed her siblings in sketch books. She survived Jane by almost three decades, and died in 1845 in Chawton, Hampshire.
Jane Austen's brother Frank was described by Admiral Horatio Nelson as an "excellent" man.

6. Francis Austen (1774-1865), known as Frank, joined the Royal Naval Academy at Portsmouth along his younger brother Charles. He fought in the British Navy during the Napoleonic wars, and like his brother he rose to the rank of admiral. The more famous Admiral Horatio Nelson once remarked that Frank Austen was “an excellent young man”. In 1795 he was part of the naval squadron that escorted Princess Caroline of Brunswick to England, where she was to infamously marry her cousin, the future George IV. After the defeat of Napoleon, Frank was transferred to the North America and West Indies Station in 1844 and was promoted an Admiral of the Red in 1855. It is said that Frank Austen’s rapid early promotions were largely due to the patronage of the powerful Warren Hastings, who was a friend of the Austen family and was alleged to be the natural father of Frank’s cousin (and later sister-in-law), Eliza de Feuillide. In 1806 he married Mary Gibson, who gave him eleven children. After her death in 1823 he married secondly Martha Lloyd, his sister-in-law’s younger sister. This second union left no children, but there are many descendants alive today descended from his first marriage.
7. Charles Austen (1779-1852) was also, like his brother, a navyman. He served during the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars, eventually rising to the rank of rear-admiral. In 1807 Charles married Frances Palmer, the youngest daughter of the late Attorney-General of Bermuda. The couple had four daughters, of whom two died young; the other two died as adults, and unmarried. After the death of Frances in 1814, Charles married his late wife’s sister Harriet in 1820. The couple produced four children, two of them sons, and one of whom, Charles John Austen, followed his father into the navy and died in Guadeloupe in 1867, leaving numerous descendants.
Here is an interesting documentary about Jane Austen’s life, which given an insight into her family and her personal life:

I must admit I am a great Jane Austen fan. Enjoyed this post very much.
• Dawsr says:
I am very glad you liked the post chmrj2. I am also a big fan of Jane Austen, not least because of her family tree! Thanks for dropping by! 🙂
2. I keep trying to find the connection between Fanny Knight to Anna Chancellor. Do you have any sites or books to recommend?
• Dawsr says:
That’s a good question Patricia. I’m going to do some research about their connection because I haven’t been able to find it either. Wikipedia says about her immediate ancestry: “Chancellor was born in Richmond, London, England, the daughter of the Hon. Mary Alice Jolliffe (daughter of William Jolliffe, 4th Baron Hylton) and John Paget Chancellor. Through her mother’s mother, Lady Perdita Rose Mary Asquith, Chancellor is the great-granddaughter of Raymond Asquith and the great-great-granddaughter of Prime Minister H. H. Asquith,[1] and through her father, she is the great-great-granddaughter of the 12th Earl of Winchilsea and Nottingham (a descendant of Thomas Cecil, 1st Earl of Exeter and William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley).”
I foresee new family tree research coming up soon…
3. Jude says:
I had no idea about her brother, George. In the movie “Becoming Jane” they are portrayed as having a warm relationship. It is very sad to know the truth.
4. Judith Marshall-Schutte says:
My late mother was a cousin – 7th I recall, (several times removed no doubt), on her mother’s side. Her mother was Constance Weldon whose parents had moved to South Africa around 1902. I don’t know if it was Connie Weldon’s father or her mother (whose maiden name I don’t know), who was
My grandmother Connie had the details
of a relative – Mimi (Married to Horace Broomfield – now deceased). I don’t know Mimi’s maiden name, but she still lives in Bath (Priston I believe), where I visited her and Horace in 1992/1993. She wasn’t too sure of the details of how she was related.
It would be interesting to try and find the connection, though that May be tricky!
Growing up, we were fanciful and joked that my brother Charles bore a striking resemblance to Charles Austen, and decided that must be the connection!
5. C. Inge says:
I have a letter dated 1909 from Bishop Edward Churton to Kitty Inge (Katherine), who was married to the then Dean of St Paul’s. In the letter, Churton says that Jane Austen was a great-aunt of Ralph’s (meaning William Ralph Inge, the celebrated Dean Inge of St Paul’s – known to friends as Ralph.) Anyone know if this could be true – and which Austen brother he may have been descended from?
6. Sharon Budworth says:
Brilliant documentary of Jane Austen enjoyed it immensely Jane Austen is my inspiration one day I will become a successful writer just like she was, hopefully.
7. Kelyn Flynn says:
I have come across this page after having Jane Austen posited as a possible 4th cousin 8 times removed on Ancestry’s We’re Related app. Could be – I have a 3rd gt gt grandmother Hannah Austin from Rolvenden, Kent, born in 1815. I have no idea where the relationship would be though. Hannah’s father was John Austin born about 1790 and mother Ann or Mary Ann Moon. Others that came up were WInston Churchill and Neville Chamberlain, who I have now found have connections to Jane Austen. Thank you for this page, quite fascinating.

Q. What is the importance of fiber in the diet?
Q. What is the importance of fiber in the diet?
A: We think of fiber as something needed to make our bowels move; however, studies consistently find that fiber is important in healthy carbohydrate metabolism, cancer prevention, healthy blood pressure levels and heart health, healthy blood cholesterol levels and so much more.
The American Heart Association recommends a dietary fiber intake from foods of approximately 25 to 30 grams per day. Most Americans only get 10 to 15 per day, with low-carb dieters only getting around 7 to 8 per day. How can that be healthy?
There are two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Both are important for different reasons.
Soluble fiber dissolves in water and can form a gel. It is shown to lower cholesterol, regulate blood sugar levels and aid with bowel movements. Food sources of soluble fiber are oats, many fruits and veggies, beans, barley and psyllium, commonly found in over-the—counter dietary fiber supplements.
Insoluble fiber, equally as important, is a bulking agent and also contributes to bowel regularity. Examples include: whole wheat flour, wheat bran and some crunchy veggies. Almost all plant-based foods — except those highly processed such as potato chips and white bread — contain fiber.
Eating the recommended 25 to 30 grams of fiber per day lowers your risk of developing heart disease, colon cancer, high blood pressure, and absorbs dietary cholesterol and fights obesity.
Researchers estimate that if Americans doubled their daily fiber intake, it could decrease daily calorie intake by 100 calories, resulting in an estimated 10-pound weight loss per year. Increasing fiber in the diet should be done slowly, as it could cause abdominal discomfort if done quickly.
Along with the increase in fiber, it is important to consume enough fluid to prevent constipation.

Democrat politicians overplayed their weak hand in Kavanaugh fight
Patricia McCarthy:
There is more.
There is no bottom below which these malevolent Democrat politicians will not sink. While they may have some support from their base, it is mostly coming from the pro-abortion lobby on the left who fears there might someday be more restrictions on their ability to kill babies in the womb. That is the underlying reasons for their smear campaign. One of the ironies for their dilemma is that if they had not aborted over 60 million babies since Roe v. Wade, the Democrats would probably still have a majority. Now they are desperately trying to replace those 60 million potential Democrats by importing low skilled immigrants from other countries that are here illegally.

Arabs Violently Attack Jewish Shepherds South of Hebron
A gang of Arabs and anarchists attacked Jewish shepherds, leaving them with severe head and face injuries.
Susiya- Map
Photo Credit: Wikipedia
Six Israeli shepherds from Mitzpeh Yair in the southern Hebron Hills were violently attacked by Arabs and foreign activists Monday.
The shepherds, who were tending their sheep at the time were attacked with metal poles and rocks by a group of some 20 Arabs who were accompanied by anarchists.
The incident appears to be a planned provocation.
One of the shepherds told Tazpit News Agency that the attackers began plowing the privately, Jewish-owned grazing grounds, and when they were asked to stop the Arabs and activists physically attacked the shepherds.
Three of the shepherds were injured with head and face injuries; one suffered a concussion; another had his jaw and several teeth broken. They were evacuated by MDA to a Jerusalem hospital. IDF forces arrived on the scene and arrested several of the attackers.
The Jewish shepherds are attacked on a regular basis and carry with them cameras to document these assaults. During today’s incident they were able to film the attack, but the cameras were broken during the violent event. It is unclear if the pictures are retrievable.
Mitzpeh Yair was founded more then a decade ago in memory of Yair Har-Sinai of Susiya, located across the highway from Mitzpeh Yair. Har-Sinai, who refused to carry a weapon, was murdered by Arabs as he was grazing his sheep. His wife Dalia, with the help of workers and volunteers, maintains the farm.
Susiya is famous for the ancient Jewish synagogue, mosaics and other buildings that were uncovered at the site of this Jewish town that existed from at least the 2nd century until the 6th.

1. Are the Jewish people allowed to carry guns with them wherever they go? PRAY FOR ISRAEL
2. Harry Orenstein says:
I, for one, a Jew living in the Judean mountains, have a license to carry a pistol. The license is not easily obtained.
3. they need to protect themselves!
4. they need to protect themselves!
5. Ron Kall says:
Used to be that all Israeli Jews could carry weapons! The government has turned the Jewish citizens into victims by disarming the Jews!! Insanity rules Israel!!
6. of course, the Jews' should be armed.
7. The Arabs attack Jews are making war against Israel, because they are trying to kill the Jews. It is written in the Torah, in Devarim (Deuteronomy) 20:10-18, that God commanded that, in the war, Israel kill all the enemies. Therefore, the State of Israel must kill all the Arabs who attack Jews.
8. Doreen White says:
This is more of Israel's atrocities aimed at the Arabs.

You see, in America, we would recommend that you all be armed to protect yourselves. Why do Israelis out in the fields not have guns on them? Who attacks an armed people? Time and again, unarmed people are attacked in Israel by crowds of cowards. It is a matter of personal and national defense to be armed. Remember, a sword is to be in every tent.
10. Those who prey on farmers and shepherds will fall prey to famine.
11. Yechiel Baum says:
where were their security and armaments to fight back with bullets to eliminate the philistine parasites?

Build a precision bicycle wheel truing stand for less than fifty bucks
Step 13: Final thoughts
Picture of final thoughts
Some final thoughts:
There is another instructable that uses a dial gauge and a similar inexpensive stand. That instructable actually inspired me to consider modifying my own! But do you really need a dial gauge? From my perspective the answer is "no". Just buy a cheap set of "feeler gauges" that include 0.2mm and 0.5mm sizes. With the precision of the screws we've installed, you can insert a feeler gauge between the indicator and the rim. Then spin the rim. If it doesn't touch the entire way around, your wheel is true to that maximum error.
If you want it to look mildly prettier, you could conceivably file/dremel the edges off of the "second" nut and insert it into the plastic, then press the brass insert in over it.
Opinions and suggestions on this guy are welcome!

It's Official: TPoP and SPC Slide Show Violate 2257
1. It's, like, the best Festivus present ever.
2. As a caveat to that, though, Ernest, the documentators could say that that particular section of the "rule" applies only to specific "child pornography" where specific images of "children" under 18 are used. TPoP can still claim that their images use strictly adult women whom they claim to be "abused" in the name of making pornography, and that the "educational" value of exposing porn for its detrimental effects, as well as the fact that the material is not used for "prurient" purposes (i.e., masturbation) but strictly for "educational" purposes, is therefore not actionable under 2257.
I do find it amusing that the DoJ would say that a "bona fide" reporter cannot "trade in child porn" or use the First Amendment to get out of trouble with them...but law enforcement officials and moral groups using actual child porn to lure and entrap innocent people sure are allowed to avoid indictment through plea bargins and deals to snitch on others. Does that mean that if an official from, say, Morality in Media secretly puts out an obvious piece of kiddie porn to entrap an innocent person, then "outs" that person to the authorities, would that official as liable to the law as the person being targeted?? Or, would he be pardoned for his "good deed" of keeping "pedophiles" off the street?
Personally, I'm not so sure that the DoJ will be knocking on Gail Dines's or the TPoP producers' doors any time soon...that's reserved exclusively for the adult producers they really want to target and destroy.
One more reason why this rule has got to go. Not just be negotiated...completely gone. And replaced with a better rule that targets child porn at it's root source: the actual PRODUCERS and PERPETRATORS of abuse of children.
3. Anthony,
No basic disagreement on what the rule should be, and there are plenty of laws that deal with genuine child pornography as harshly as the crime deserves.
However, 2257 in some form is almost certainly here to stay. it does nothing whatsoever to prevent child sexual abuse because obviously those willing to commit the far more serious felonies entailed in the creation of such material are hardly likely to be deterred by the prospect of a few added counts of failure to maintain proper documentation.
As you say, it's clearly intended to harrass legitimate producers of lawful pornography who wouldn't go near kiddie porn. Unfortunately, it's politically unfeasible for any official to admit to such a thing, much less act to eliminate it. No federal judge or member of Congress is going to take up the banner of defending porn producers' rights to make sexually explicit material by and for consenting adults at the risk of being tagged as an enabler of kiddie porn. Nor is anyone outside our world much troubled by the tremendous and potentially dangerous invasion of performers' privacy entailed in requiring the maintenance and repeated circulation of sensitive personal information about their off-stage identities. Like the presumption of innocence with which 2257 is in direct conflict, the principles matter less to those who wield the power than the politics, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
But there is some cold comfort in the leveling of the playing field the latest batch of legalistic jive imposes to some degree. I wouldn't be so sure that anti-porn crusaders will get a free pass on this deal. The government's lawyers have really gone to great lengths to reject all challenges to the basic rule book based on special circumstances of this sort or that. If in the end some enforcement is ultimately attempted, it can't be entirely arbitrary and selective. The D.O.J. itself has slammed the door on many potential evasions in the most recent version.
You wouldn't, for instance, necesarily make a vast inductive leap as the government did when challenged on the definition of sadomasochistic abuse by a commenter from a measured consideration of consensual kink as opening the floodgates to child exploitation justified by the subjective judgment of producers regarding what constitutes exploitation.
Here's how far they went, and what I had to say about it:
"One comment requests that the Department define 'sadistic or masochistic abuse' because some people believe that safe and consensual bondage is not abuse, and requests that the Department distinguish between actual and simulated sadistic or masochistic abuse," the DOJ writes in the comments section. "The Department declines to adopt this comment. That term is not a subject of this rulemaking. Moreover, actual sexually explicit conduct depends on the content of what is being displayed, not on whether the content is subjectively considered to be abusive. If belief as to abuse were to control, a producer who determined that nothing was abusive would be able to avoid compliance with the regulations in their entirety, creating massive opportunity for child exploitation."
In other words, the Department's position seems to be that the term "abuse" as used in 18 U.S.C. §2256(2)(b)(ii)(III) is meaningless; that if any content depicts what might be viewed as "sadistic" or "masochistic" behavior, it triggers the 2257 recordkeeping and labeling requirements.
Producer/director and BDSM aficionado Ernest Greene agreed.
"What they're saying is, 'We decide what's abuse and what isn't,'" Greene assessed, "and the fact that some people might not consider it abuse - I guess the leap of logic here is, 'If we allow them [producers] to define anything one way or another and alter the statute based on the object of the statute's definition of a thing, the first thing they're going to do is run out and put kids in it and say that that doesn't constitute a violation,' but I fail to see what one thing has to do with the other, because child pornography remains illegal, whatever form it takes."
"This particular argument goes all the way back to 1956 and Irving Klaw," he continued, "when the Kefauver Committee struggled mightily, with the help of the typical kind of shrinks that come in to do this kind of thing, to determine what might be pornographic even though nobody had their clothes off or was having any sex. They were engaging in bondage and other kinds of activities of that sort that might have a sexual connotation to them but might not. In any case, in that context, they wished to classify it as pornographic, and of course, by writing postal regulations without bothering to go to Congress, which this is somewhat of a throwback to, they did do exactly that, and that's what led to Irving Klaw ultimately pleading out to the postal obscenity charges and agreeing to destroy all his stuff and go out of business. So the argument they seem to be making here is, we're the ones who decide what constitutes abuse, and the fact that a producer decides or the people involved decide it's not abuse doesn't matter."
In other words, intent does not abrogate even the most minute requirement of the statute. And the contemptuous violations of the those requirements by anti-porn crusaders are anything but minute.
TPoP's producers, and their mouthpiece Dr. Jensen, try to bail themselves on the basis that they deeply and profoundly believe that no minors appear in any of the material they've pirated, but they have no means of proving that's the case, and the statute is all about proof, not about whether children were actually exploited or not. It's a no-excuses deal regardless of any claims, however sincere, on the part of the producer regarding motives or suppositions. Unlike the Miller standard, 2257 does not concern itself with issues of prurient interest or higher purpose. It's strictly about the paperwork.
And contrary to the specious claims of TPoP's crew and the folks at SPC, they are most definitely producers.
Here's what The Man says about that, according to ace First Amendment lawyer Paul Cambria:
"The new regulation exempts "distribution" from the category of "producer," which is not much of a change from the prior version of the regulation. However, 28 C.F.R. 75.1(c)(6) also provides that, "Unless the activity or activities are described in section 2257(h)(2)(a) [the definition of "produces"], the dissemination of a depiction without having created it or altered its content" is not a producer activity. This exemption is very limited, though. First, activities such as digitizing an image or inserting an image on a computer site or service or managing the sexually explicit content of a computer site or service are not exempt. Second, certain activities such as pixilation would be considered an alteration of content sufficient to eliminate the exemption for distribution."
In other words, the very slice-and-dice editing techniques used in both TPoP and the SPC show make them essentially new products containing sexually explicit material, and therefore their creators porn producers by the definitions specified under the law. They're not even secondary producers. They're first in line as a result of having "altered" (even by pixelation intended to prevent "lascivious display of genitalia") the material they pirated, thus creating entirely original productions requring full compliance with the every single provsion of the regs.
Do I think anyone should go to jail over such nonsense? Of course not. Do I think anti-porn crusaders who abuse the law are less likely to be prosecuted than actual pornographers? Absolutely. But are they, in fact, in violation of the law and thus potentially subject to its penalities?
Unlike the individuals in question, I would never take the gamble that they aren't. Arrogantly and blatantly flouting federal statutes is a dangerous game, whoever plays it and whatever the object.
Should any professional pornographer being prosecuted for a technical violation of 2257 care to cite anti-porn propagandists' apparent immunity as examples of selective prosecution, such concerns may prove to be far from abstract.
4. Although it is a Canadian documentary produced by the National Film Board of Canada in 1980-1982, the critically acclaimed documentary Not a Love Story, has a scene from a kiddie porn movie. Strange huh?

Forty Days on Being a Two
Prueba ahora Firma sin compromiso. Cancele cuando quiera.
What is it like to be an Enneagram Two?
Pastor, lawyer, and Enneagram speaker Hunter Mobley reflects on this question with a mix of self-compassion and hunger for personal growth. Using the metaphor of a welcoming Southern porch, he describes Twos this way: "We have well-curated our reputations as people who can be counted on. We're the people of 'yes!' But beyond our front porches and living rooms is a diversity of unexpressed and unmet feelings and needs. Tiredness, loneliness, grief, disappointment, and longing live beside joy, gratitude, and hope in the kitchens, dens, and bedrooms of our houses."
These forty daily readings are an opportunity to explore both the shadow and the light that radiates from the front porches of our personality and deeper into the soul that lays within. Each reading concludes with an opportunity for further engagement such as a journaling prompt, reflection questions, a prayer, or a spiritual practice.
Any of us can find aspects of ourselves in any of the numbers. The Enneagram is a profound tool for empathy, so whether or not you are a two, you will grow from learning about twos and enhance your relationships across the Enneagram spectrum.

Living Wallet Spending Habits Control
The Living Wallet Will Help You Control Your Spending Habits
3 Years Ago By Richard Darell
For some people spending money is a reliever of stress and a way to keep their smiles up. It is a dangerous path which in some cases may turn the person into a shopaholic. In today’s economy continuous spending will most definitely cause us trouble down the line if we’re not careful. Wouldn’t it be great if we had some sort of device that told us when we were spending too much? The Living Wallet is a fun take on a wallet aware of its own worth.
So what is the Living Wallet and is it something that we can really use? I wouldn’t exactly call it a legit tool for people who have a spending addiction, however, it could very well have an effect on their shopping habits.
Think of the Living Wallet as a way of putting your thoughts somewhere else. In a way, that will change your spending habits as you no longer feel it is of importance to go out and spend your money. The problem is how long the Living Wallet will be able to keep your attention and interest. As you can see from the video, the wallet has a will of its own and it will do anything to get away from you if you intend to use it when you feel the urge to spend.
The Living Wallet has a set of wheels that will make it “run” from you if you try and grab it. It is setup to sync with a bookkeeping app called Zaim, (which I assume is the primary product meant to be marketed with the Living Wallet). When the Living Wallet, which is really a case, senses that your resources are low it will do anything to prevent you from taking it with you as your intent is to spend more money.
If you were to open it while your resources or funds are low, it will scream -“Help!” in order to humiliate you in front of people in the store as I take it. Furthermore, should you not stop and still proceed with your purchase it may also proceed to call your mom. I guess today’s harsh economic state requires a dose of enforcement in order for us to understand that saving money is better than spending.

Why Go With Dental Implants?
1. Restore your mouth
By replacing your entire tooth, including the root, we can replicate the function of your natural teeth. Dental implants, a strong, stable foundation, allow comfortable biting and chewing. In addition, nothing in your mouth looks or feels artificial.
2. Preserve your facial structures
By preventing the bone resorption or thinning of the jaw that would normally occur with the loss of teeth, your facial structures remain intact. This is particularly important when all of your teeth are missing. The lower one-third of your face may collapse if implants are not placed to preserve your bone. When this happens, wrinkles form around your mouth and your chin repositions itself closer to your nose. Implants however guard against this and can reverse it if it has already occurred.
3. Improve your smile
In terms of esthetics, an implant-supported replacement tooth looks more natural than a traditional tooth-supported bridge. This is particularly important for your frontal teeth. Preventing a visible bone defect is critical for a beautiful, healthy smile and an improved overall appearance.
"I am not joking when I say my life changed in one single day.
I have had no problems with my new implants, and they look completely natural and real. I can’t thank EON Clinics enough for making me a confident person, and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!"
—Donal Scrivner
Free Consultation
4. Don't compromise adjacent teeth
Traditional tooth-supported bridges require grinding down the teeth on either side of the gap, so that the bridge can be cemented onto them. The tooth structure can never be replaced and the long-term health of these teeth is compromised. Partial dentures have clasps that hook onto adjacent teeth, putting pressure on them as the partial rocks back and forth. Eventually these teeth can loosen and fall out as a result of this constant pressure. Replacing missing teeth with implant-supported crowns or bridges does not involve the adjacent natural teeth, so they are not compromised or damaged.
Overall quality of life will improve with replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. With implant-supported replacement teeth, you have a more natural-looking smile, and your teeth function more like natural teeth. You will experience increased comfort and confidence when smiling, speaking, and eating. By replacing dentures and partials with implant-supported teeth, you will be able to eat all types of foods without worrying about messy adhesives.
5. Make oral hygiene easy
6. Renew self-confidence
Many of the people who now enjoy the benefits of implant-supported replacement teeth agree that their self esteem and self confidence have been restored. This is due to their improved comfort and appearance, and the improved functionality and health of their mouths.

Retirement tax questions
I have a similar situation with an annuity that was opened in the name of the trust. After my father passed the trust states to split the funds in to three equal parts to the children. The annuity company states if I do not withhold any taxes they would send a 1099R at the end of the year to the estate. So would the estate pay the taxes because of the 1099R or would it be up to each beneficiary to pay their share of the taxes. The claim form asks if I want to withhold a percentage of funds for federal and state taxes or withhold nothing. Do not want to pay taxes twice of the funds--one for the estate and one for the beneficiary. Which way is better?

‘Angkas’ Rider Cries after Losing Money from Fake Booking, GrabFood Riders Help Him Out
An ‘Angkas’ rider who got victimized by fake booking was spotted crying after losing his money to the fake customer. Thankfully, a group of GrabFood riders spotted him and quickly helped him out! The video of the crying rider quickly went viral, with many netizens slamming the prankster for making this hardworking man cry.
Food Delivery Rider Cries Over Fake Booking
A lot of people have this notion that men shouldn’t cry, especially in public, because crying is a feminine thing. Though the stereotype has long been criticized, a lot of guys still don’t show their emotions in public.
That’s why many people took pity on an ‘Angkas’ rider who went viral for crying after he lost money from a fake booking. Some people think that this rider might be new to the job.
Photo credit: Paulino Baro Collo Jr
In a post that was shared by Paulino Baro Collo Jr., the Angkas rider was not identified but the video uploader narrated that the incident happened at around 1:40AM last April 3, 2021. It was already dawn and the riders had been working for hours. The Angkas rider did not expect that he would be victimized with the fake booking in the wee hours of the morning.
Seeing him cry, a group of GrabFood riders asked what was wrong. He told them that someone booked a burger. The rider paid Php599 but the customer didn’t show up.
Taking pity on their fellow rider, the GrabFood riders decided to contribute Php200 each to help him out. They’ve been in this job for a long time and had, most likely, experienced fake bookings and canceled orders once in a while.
Photo credit: Paulino Baro Collo Jr
The GrabFood riders helped the Angkas rider return the burger from the fake booking. Thanks to these helpful guys, the crew accepted the returned burger and refunded the rider.
Makonsensya naman sana yung mga nagfe-fakebooking dyan. Inaabot kami ng madaling araw para kumita para sa pamilya at makapagserbisyo, wag nyo naman sana kaming pagtripan,” Collo appealed.
What is Angkas?
The word “angkas” actually means “ride on the back”. It is a Filipino word that’s often used to mean back riding on a motorcycle. In 2016, a company chose the word as its name. Angkas offers package delivery and motorcycle vehicle for hire. It is based in Makati and delivers throughout Metro Manila and some parts of NCR.

Shepherdstown man going full steam ahead for inventor
February 19, 2006|By CANDICE BOSELY
(Page 2 of 2)
"By that time, it wasn't really an experiment," Hurley said.
He said the paths of Rumsey and Fulton crossed years earlier in England, when Rumsey had his portrait painted by Benjamin West. West's apprentice at the time was Robert Fulton.
Fulton's boat was fast enough to beat the rival method of transportation - the stagecoach - and he successfully started a passenger service.
"He steamed off into history and made a great deal of money," Hurley said.
Of course, others along with Rumsey sometimes are credited - especially by the hometowns and home states of such men - with inventing the steamboat.
Some say it was John Fitch of Kentucky who first came up with the idea, but Hurley disputes that.
Local legend has it that Fitch came to Shepherdstown to spy on his rival Rumsey, but that he was run out of town after being tarred and feathered. Hurley believes the story is partially true.
He said Fitch quickly left town before he made the acquaintance of pails of tar and piles of feathers.
Lost to history
Hurley, 64, proprietor of O'Hurley's General Store in Shepherdstown, was born above the store and sleeps in that same bedroom today.
In high school, one of his history teachers was a "real proponent" of Rumsey and, in ninth grade, Hurley's class raised money to buy a bronze plaque for Rumsey's grave.
He had been buried as a pauper.
When Shepherdstown decided to hold a bicentennial celebration of Rumsey's demonstration in 1987, Hurley joined in.
The people in charge of planning the event met once a month. Every month, others would talk about having a parade and a dinner, while Hurley kept mentioning building a replica.
Finally, he was named the director of the boat project, for which the keel was laid in 1985.
The parade and dinner were held and a crowd, the likes of which Hurley said he has not seen since, followed the replica down to the boat ramp to watch its demonstration.
A few kinks
Finished five days earlier, the steamboat had some kinks that had not been worked out.
"Rumsey replica suffers setback," a Herald-Mail headline read the next day.
It moved only a few feet.
Were he able to sit down and chat with Rumsey, Hurley knows exactly what he would ask.
"I would immediately get into his technical mind," Hurley said.
Although Rumsey left behind a sketch of his engine, no details were included.
On the back shelves in the Smithsonian, Hurley found a chain said to be from Rumsey's steamboat. It was just one small piece members of the Rumseian Society had from which to work.
Exactly what happened to Rumsey's steam engine isn't known.
The boat itself - which Hurley said is of no real significance - probably was sold locally. Rumsey tried to send his far more important engine to his friend and fellow inventor Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia.
Records track the engine to Baltimore, but no farther.
"Lost to history," Hurley said.
Locally, Rumsey's name, if not his legacy, lives on. He is the namesake for the bridge that spans the Potomac River in Shepherdstown, as well as a technical school in Hedgesville, W.Va.
A stone monument in a small park in Shepherdstown is dedicated to him. It overlooks the river, the spot where, more than 218 years ago, Rumsey brought within reach the seemingly impossible: He made a boat move against the current without a sail or oar.
"This was on par with a space launch today. This was on par with someone going to the moon. It was the cutting edge of technology," Hurley said. "The fact that it was done here, in the backwaters of (what was then) Virginia, is really interesting."

Add Grandeur to Your Home with a Lattice Patio Cover
Irrespective of the weather it is always nice to get the feel of outdoors. However, if you stay in places with extreme weather conditions, enjoying it to its maximum often becomes a hazard. You are limited to being indoors, a thought that is so not welcome. A lattice patio cover is a simple answer to your problems.
A lattice patio cover is a positive addition to your home. As the name specifies they are wood or metal that have been patterned out in a crisscross shape as that of a lattice, or comes in specific patterns, to give it an open and a breezy look. While they do allow the light to pass through, they block 60 – 70 percent of the sun and cool down the atmosphere outside as well as inside the house. It is easy, it is economical to install, and also adds style and elegance to your home, giving it a Tuscan villa like appearance.
Benefits of Installing a Lattice Patio Cover
Lattice patio covers are available in different materials to protect the home from the strong natural elements of nature. Often the patio cover also gets affected being subjected to the harsh rays of the sun or extreme humidity or snow. Wood decays easily and before you know it cracks and crevices can be seen making the cover redundant. In addition, there is the constant fear of termites eating into the wood. These days with the popularity of patio covers manufacturers have discovered the benefits of using strong aluminum like material that in effect looks like wood. The look and feel is that of wood, while being degrees stronger and resilient to the natural forces. They are guaranteed to last for a long time and provide the necessary shade to your patio, while also bringing down the temperature a great deal making the atmosphere around the seating area cooler.
The lattice patio cover also enhances the esthetics of your home. You can add your personal touch and grow flowery bowers or creepers in and around it to give it a green appearance. Seating under the lattice covers adds an element of charm and just that perfect setting for those romantic evenings with your special one.

Tag Archives: vacant possession break clause condition
Unremoved minor tenant’s works frustrated break notice
Where a break clause is conditional on the tenant providing vacant possession to the landlord on the break date the property must be returned without any chattels left there by the tenant which might substantially interfere with the beneficial occupation of the property.
The rule applies with equal force to fixtures and fittings that have become part of the property itself, where they formed part of alterations or additions and the tenant is obliged to the landlord, whether by licence for alterations or otherwise to remove them, in time for the break date.
So in the recent Leeds High Court case of Riverside Park Ltd v NHS Property Services Limited [2016] at the break date there were left:
A large amount of partitioning
Kitchen units
Floor coverings
Window blinds
An intruder alarm and
Water stand pipes within a large meeting room.
These were not there when the Lease was granted and had been brought into the property by the tenant under a Licence for Alterations made between the landlord and the tenant and dated the same day as the Lease.
Also a number of key fobs issued to the tenant at the start of the Lease had not been returned by the tenant and that the intruder alarm had not been deactivated by the break date.
The court said:
“an alarm and kitchen units have been held to be fixtures but in each case it is a question of fact. The kitchen base units are free standing and are easily removed. The wall units are fixed only by screws to the perimeter wall. In both cases the degree of annexation is negligible. I am persuaded that these are chattels ….. my view is not changed by the fact that the kitchen units are served by a water supply. That presumably emanates from pipe work under the raised floor. The expert makes it clear that the base units are easily removed, I believe that I am entitled to conclude from that that the water supply will therefore be capable of being capped without injury to the Premises. If it were otherwise it is difficult to see how the base units could be easily removed. As for the stand pipe in the meeting room, this too is seen by the expert as a free standing arrangement removable without difficulty.
As for the alarm, it is apparently a second alarm installed by the Defendant to supplement one actually installed by the Claimant. It is difficult to see such an alarm as affording a lasting improvement to the Premises. It seems to me to be an instalment for the specific convenience of the Defendant……….
on the assumption that the Works do not form part of the Premises, the Claimant has established that vacant possession was not given and that accordingly the break clause was ineffective………
…..even if I had found that the Works and particularly the partitions were not chattels but fixtures or otherwise formed part of the Premises, I would have found that there was an obligation to remove them arising out of the fact that the licence to erect them had ceased to have effect and that their presence in the Premises on the date of purported termination of the Lease meant that vacant possession of the Premises was not given.”
Many large retailer tenants will not accept the words “vacant possession” in a break clause. We can see why.
This blog has been posted out of general interest. It does not replace the need to get bespoke legal advice individual cases.

euro-press review
Borders, troops and campaigns
Also in Europe’s newspapers: Catalonia, glyphosate and Dieselgate.
Le Monde reported that the Italian government struck illicit deals with Libyan traffickers and militias to prevent migrants from arriving on Italian shores — a deal that seems to have succeeded, given a 20 percent dip in arrivals compared to last year. Le Figaro reported on the government’s decision to revamp a security program called Sentinel, in which troops patrol public spaces and tourist attractions such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. Left-leaning Libération reported on a new study that found glyphosate, a herbicide, on more than half of 30 products tested, including cereals, pasta and lentils.
Chancellor Angela Merkel met with representatives of the auto industry on the campaign trail on Thursday. In the wake of the Dieselgate scandal, Frankfurter Allgemeine led with Merkel saying that the “automobile industry has to regain trust.” The Süddeutsche Zeitung reported that the European Commission had bowed to German, French and Austrian pressure in allowing an extension of internal border controls.
The Telegraph reported that cuts to the military are hurting the British navy, making it “unable to send ships to sea.” The Mirror and the Guardian reported on the U.K. National Health Service employees’ demand for higher wages after the government signaled a willingness to end salary caps for police and prison officers.
Catalan President Carles Puigdemont gave a speech last night, which the Spanish media marked as the start of the campaign for the Catalan independence referendum scheduled on October 1. The national government still deems this illegal. “Separatism opens campaign without the government stopping it,” led El Mundo, in a not-so-subtle dig at the government for failing to do more. Pro-independence paper El Punt Avui led with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker’s comments that he will “respect” an independence vote if it comes to pass.

why do i have to be mr. pink?
I enjoyed this interesting video yesterday by Dan Pink and then today I was randomly linked to a recent Wired article which is basically a dialogue between him and Clay Shirky, creator of the brilliant Shirky principal among other things. When I trip across the same interesting person twice in as many days I usually take that as a sign that I should be paying attention. If you work for someone, or have someone who works for you, or both, then I think both this video and the article are worth a moment of your attention too.

Euphrates Major river in Western Asia
The Euphrates is the longest and one of the most historically important rivers of Western Asia. Together with the Tigris, it is one of the two defining rivers of Mesopotamia. Originating in the Armenian Highlands of eastern Turkey, the Euphrates flows through Syria and Iraq to join the Tigris in the Shatt al-Arab, which empties into the Persian Gulf.
Geography of Iraq Geographic features of Iraq
The geography of Iraq is diverse and falls into five main regions: the desert, Upper Mesopotamia, the northern highlands of Iraq, Lower Mesopotamia, and the alluvial plain extending from around Tikrit to the Persian Gulf.
Transport in Iraq consists of railways, highways, waterways, pipelines, ports and harbors, marines and airports.
Geography of Mesopotamia
The geography of Mesopotamia, encompassing its ethnology and history, centered on the two great rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates. While the southern is flat and marshy, the near approach of the two rivers to one another, at a spot where the undulating plateau of the north sinks suddenly into the Babylonian alluvium, tends to separate them still more completely. In the earliest recorded times, the northern portion was included in Mesopotamia; it was marked off as Assyria after the rise of the Assyrian monarchy. Apart from Assur, the original capital of Assyria, the chief cities of the country, Nineveh, Kalaḫ and Arbela, were all on the east bank of the Tigris. The reason was its abundant supply of water, whereas the great plain on the western side had to depend on streams flowing into the Euphrates.
Shatt al-Arab River in Western Asia
The Shatt al-Arab, Locally known as Dijla Al-Awara, also known as Arvand Rud in Iran, is a river of some 200 km (120 mi) in length formed by the confluence of the Euphrates and the Tigris in the town of al-Qurnah in the Basra Governorate of southern Iraq. The southern end of the river constitutes the border between Iraq and Iran down to the mouth of the river where it discharges into the Persian Gulf. The Shatt al-Arab varies in width from about 232 metres (761 ft) at Basra to 800 metres (2,600 ft) at its mouth. It is thought that the waterway formed relatively recently in geologic time, with the Tigris and Euphrates originally emptying into the Persian Gulf via a channel further to the west.
Tigris–Euphrates river system River system in the Middle East
The Tigris–Euphrates river system is a large river system in Western Asia which discharges into the Persian Gulf. Its principal rivers are the Tigris and Euphrates along with smaller tributaries.

Upper Mesopotamia Northern part of the region between Tigris and Euphrates rivers, now part of Iraq, Syria and Turkey
Upper Mesopotamia is the name used for the uplands and great outwash plain of northwestern Iraq, northeastern Syria and southeastern Turkey, in the northern Middle East. Since the early Muslim conquests of the mid-7th century, the region has been known by the traditional Arabic name of al-Jazira and the Syriac variant Gāzartā or Gozarto (ܓܙܪܬܐ). The Euphrates and Tigris rivers transform Mesopotamia into almost an island, as they are joined together at the Shatt al-Arab in the Basra Governorate of Iraq, and their sources in eastern Turkey are in close proximity.
The Karun is Iran's most effluent and only navigable river. It is 950 km (590 mi) long. It rises in the Zard Kuh mountains of the Bakhtiari district in the Zagros Range, receiving many tributaries, such as the Dez and the Kuhrang, before passing through the capital of the Khuzestan Province of Iran, the city of Ahvaz before emptying to its mouth into Arvand Rud.

Mesopotamian Marshes wetland ecoregion located in southern Iraq and partially in southwestern Iran and Kuwait
The Mesopotamian Marshes, also known as the Iraqi Marshes, are a wetland area located in Southern Iraq and Southwestern Iran. Historically the marshlands, mainly composed of the separate but adjacent Central, Hawizeh and Hammar Marshes, used to be the largest wetland ecosystem of Western Eurasia. It is a rare aquatic landscape in the desert, providing habitat for the Marsh Arabs and important populations of wildlife. Draining of portions of the marshes began in the 1950s and continued through the 1970s to reclaim land for agriculture and oil exploration. However, in the late 1980s and 1990s, during the presidency of Saddam Hussein, this work was expanded and accelerated to evict Shia Muslims from the marshes. Before 2003, the marshes were drained to 10% of their original size. After the fall of Hussein's regime in 2003, the marshes have partially recovered but drought along with upstream dam construction and operation in Turkey, Syria and Iran have hindered the process. Since 2016 the Mesopotamian marshes have been listed as an UNESCO Heritage Site.

Draining of the Mesopotamian Marshes Saddam Husseins campaigns to drain marshes and force population transfer
The draining of the Mesopotamian Marshes occurred in Iraq and to a smaller degree in Iran between the 1950s and 1990s to clear large areas of the marshes in the Tigris-Euphrates river system. Formerly covering an area of around 20,000 km2 (7,700 sq mi), the main sub-marshes, the Hawizeh, Central, and Hammar marshes and all three were drained at different times for different reasons.
Hawizeh Marshes
The Hawizeh Marshes are a complex of marshes that straddle the Iraq and Iran border. The marshes are fed by two branches of the Tigris River in Iraq and Karkheh River in Iran. The Hawizeh marsh is critical to the survival of the Central and Hammar marshes, which also make up the Mesopotamian Marshes, because they are a refuge for species that may recolonize or reproduce in the other marshlands. The Hawizeh Marshes are drained by the Al-Kassarah. This river plays a critical role in maintaining the marshes as a flow-through system and preventing it from becoming a closed saline basin.
The Bahmanshir channel is a secondary estuary of the Karun River that parallels the Shatt al-Arab/Arvand Rud waterway on the far side of the Abadan Island for 70 miles before emptying into the Persian Gulf.
Water supply and sanitation in Iraq is characterized by poor water and service quality. Three decades of war, combined with limited environmental awareness, have destroyed Iraq's water resources management system. Thus, Iraq faces difficulties to realize the target of 91% of households using safe drinking water supply by 2015. Currently, 16% of households report daily problems with supply and 20% use an unsafe drinking water source. Furthermore, animal waste and septic tanks pollute the drinking water network.(11)
Lower Mesopotamia is a historical region of Iraq.
