No. It's pretty much an IDE like intelliJ, but inside your browser.
You can take a CS class here or you can take courses through code academy, Khan academy, etc. Personally I don't like either, but the options are there.
However, there are a ton of YouTube videos to get you started most notably Thenewboston. IMO his tutorial are the best and he starts from the very beginning and teaches you all the way to intermediate topics. In my opinion this would be the best way to learn. He has videos for other languages too as well as tutorial for so many other programs and what not.
Another good source would be this book. I have it and it holds your hand as it explains basic concepts like data types, various methods, arrays and other important parts of java.
Of course you could start by learning a different language like python, but java is a pretty easy language to learn and if you learn it, other languages will come pretty easily.
Best of luck!
Edit: I just re-read your comment and you want to learn C or Pyhon. Here is the same book, but for Python. Here are the video tutorials for Python by the same guy, and here are his tutorials for C.

You really don't need a good GPA. Here's the big stuff:
• Put a lot of work into your resume so it looks nice. This is sort of obvious, but a lot of people just throw one together without a lot of work. Also, don't listen to the CCO's resume advice, they don't know what they're talking about for CS.
• Side projects are really important, especially if you aren't confident with your GPA. You want to show companies that no matter what your grades are, you know your stuff where it counts.
• Along the same lines, you want to have an active github (and link to that on your resume). Ideally you want to shoot for one commit per day, but obviously school is a timesink and that's not always easy. One trick you can use is to commit all your school projects into private github repos, since those are still displayed on your timeline. This shows companies that you're hacking away in your free time, even when you don't have to.
• Read through cracking the coding interview and do some online practice questions (firecode, leetcode, etc..). It's great to land the interview, but unless you're ready for the technical interview questions you won't make it through. If you haven't experienced one of these interviews before, you should know that they're pretty different than you might expect. The resources above (especially cracking the coding interview) will give you a great idea of what to expect.
• Also keep in the mind that the first internship is the hardest to get. You should expect a lot of rejection letters. Even the best candidates will be getting a lot of rejection letters. If you apply to 100 companies and land a handful of interviews, that's a win. Don't let a few rejections get you down!
Good luck :)

If you really like this stuff, I would highly recommend two textbooks:
For the communications topics, reliability, optimization etc, ditch Leon-Garcia and pick up this book by Trivedi
If you're interesting in Machine Learning like I am, then this book by Bishop is fantastic. You can find both in the Engineering library I believe.

CS182 is a discrete mathematics course. It has a lot to do with logic and proofs, and less to do with algebra and calculus. Most have never really seen what you will be covering. If you can, I would get the book and work through some of the problems before the start of the semester.
CS240 is similar to CS180, but it is taught in C — a much lower-level language. Once again, I recommend getting the book (I assume it will be The C Programming Language) and doing some of the exercises. Java syntax comes from C/C++, so that part will be somewhat familiar. C is pretty barebones, though. There are no classes, only functions. There is no ArrayList, LinkedList, etc. You have to build it all yourself. And when you allocate memory using malloc() (similar to calling new), you have to remember to free it when you’re done using free(). There is no garage collection.
Good luck!

I'm in SOC 100, distance learning.
In my blackboard, I have slides and respective notes for each chapter in the book, (book is You May Ask Yourself.)
If any of the folders in this image of my Blackboard look useful to you let me know, and I can send you to slides and notes.
If not, maybe this class is entirely different. Good luck mate.

Introduction to Linear Algebra is an excellent textbook. Strang explains things in very simple, "what's the point" terms. This is the only textbook I have ever actually enjoyed reading. There are also quite a few videos of Strang's lectures at MIT where he works out plenty of examples.
Schaum's Linear Algebra reads like an exam review: it highlights the main concepts (without the theory) and presents hundreds of worked out examples.
u/SlalomMan · 2 pointsr/Purdue
It really depends on the company. Most CS-Oriented companies will probably ask you questions about code, data structures, and algorithms. For these, I would recommend looking into a book called Programming Interviews Exposed. If you look hard enough, you can find a PDF online.
Other companies might ask behavioral questions. For these it would be best to recall a few teamwork or project situations you've been in and what happened. The companies that ask these questions are usually looking for answers in the STAR format (Situation/Task, Action, Result). Some examples would be "Have you ever worked with a difficult team member? How did you handle it?" or "Tell us about a time when you faced adversity in a project. How did you overcome it?"
You can definitely find tons of example interview questions by Googling around. If you interview isn't for a while, you can also go to the CCO and do a mock interview. I've never done one of those, but I'm sure they're helpful.

I rented on amazon last year, that book was 15 bucks or something.
Edit: okay, 40. Still not too bad though.
u/StressOverStrain · 10 pointsr/Purdue
MA 265 - Linear Algebra
Do not under any circumstances buy the listed textbook for this class, Elementary Linear Algebra. Seriously, read the Amazon reviews; they're all true. I think I wrote 1000 words in my course review telling them how awful this book was and to find a new one. Of course, that didn't do anything. I read almost every textbook presented to me cover to cover, so I know a bad textbook when I see one. I really tried to read this one, but it is just so godawful confusing. It's written like a math professor forgot he was writing a book for undergrads and not just proving theorems for his fellow mathematicians. Has exactly zero appreciation for teaching, and instead just lays proofs one after another with little explanation in between.
> If you are reading through this textbook and you have no idea what is going on, it is not you, it's this book.
It's also looseleaf, which sucks to begin with. Save yourself a semester of grief and just pay attention in lecture or buy literally any other linear textbook you can find.
u/skubiszm · 5 pointsr/Purdue
I highly recommend Programming Interviews Exposed: Secrets to Landing Your Next Job. This has greatly helped me with the technical portion of the interview. Especially companies with difficult interviews (Microsoft, Google, Amazon, etc)
u/WiF1 · 2 pointsr/Purdue
There's two versions: one is valid for one semester; one is valid forever. The lifetime version is $120.
That being said, Prof. Gabrielov sent out this email for my calc 2 class this past semester:
> I had questions from several students about WebAssign access codes provided by Cengage Learning. Here are the answers.
> The code is the same for the 7th and 8th edition of the Stewart's book.
Once you activate the code in MA 166, you lock it in for the 7th edition,
and cannot use it for the 8th edition. In the Spring 2017 semester,
MA 261 will still be using 7th edition, so your code should be valid.
Starting Fall 2017, only 8th edition will be used in Calculus classes.
So, you might just want to buy the one-semester version.
u/moosenlad · 3 pointsr/Purdue
In all seriousness, people may be selling them off cheaply as this semester comes to an end if you want to wait that long. Many out of state or international students won't be able to bring them back home.
u/DrDeform · 2 pointsr/Purdue
From the MA 265 Homepage:
Edit: Check the back of the book (past the index). It should contain the MATLAB portion. If not you'll have to buy the real thing linked above.

For prohibited sexual contact with 14 or 15 year olds, Indiana has a sexual misconduct with a minor law: If the victim is under 14, the crime of sex or sexual conduct is called child molestation, a Level 3 felony.1960s deaths of 13 women (five young, eight older), mostly with their own stockings as ligature.
Arrests records, on the other hand, specify all Florida arrests carried out against a person before facing trial Similar to other states across the country, an arrest warrant in Florida gives the police (or any other law enforcement agency for that matter) the right to arrest a person for a crime they believe he / she committed.

Criminal penalties vary based on the violence, threat of force, weapons used, or other "aggravating" factors involved and the age of the victim and defendant.
Aggravating circumstances increase penalties because of their serious or malicious nature. However, Indiana has a "Romeo and Juliet law" that permits 14 and 15 year olds to engage in non-forced sexual activity with peers who are no more than 4 years older than themselves.

Company Logo API
We're happy to announce Clearbit's free Logo API.
While services like Gravatar make it straightforward to pull in a user's default avatar, we haven't found anything that caters well to company logos. And yet there's a lot of clear use-cases ranging from setting an organization's default image on signup to pulling in logos next to job listings.
The API is incredibly simple, taking a company's domain and returning an image.
Behind the scenes we're using Clearbit's Company API, pulling images from lots of different sources such as Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia, or the company's own site's meta links. We then resize and standardize the images, serving them up from a CDN.
Here's the API in action - an img tag containing the domain
<img src="">
Produces Baremetric's logo:
You can also pass us the following optional query parameters.
Parameter Description
size integer Size of the image returned
format string Format of the default - either `png` or `jpg`
greyscale boolean Enables greyscaling
To specify a default image (for when we don't have logo handy) you can use the image's onerror event--we've put together an example here.
You can find more information in our documentation. If you have any suggestions for improvements or find an odd-looking logo please let us know.

What’s the sweet deal with chocolate?
I like chocolate. I mean, I really really like chocolate. And as much as I love to hear all the great press about chocolate containing anti oxidants and being good for you, I still know that consuming too much will make me fat.
But what is it about chocolate that is so bad for us?
Well, basically there are three ingredients that make chocolate taste so great. Sugar, fats and cocoa.
As you can see from the nutritional info from my favorite chocolate on the right, 51g out of 100g is sugar, 37g fat and just 6g protein.
No wonder it tastes so damn good! I like chocolate…
Instead of eating milk chocolate, consider trying dark chocolate. You still get that rich chocolate taste which can actually satisfy your craving by eating a smaller amount. With a higher cocoa content, dark chocolate does contain significantly higher levels of antioxidants than milk chocolate and a lot less sugar. 36 grams less sugar to be exact! Great for diabetics.
Yes dark chocolate does contain a little more fat than it’s milkier bother, but it is still by far, the healthier option.
Did I mention, I like chocolate?? 🙂

Obama care cost less than Republicans want it to
California revealed the policy prices insurance companies are offering for Obama care coverage in the state. Bad news for Republicans, real bad. The bids for insurance is way low, way lower than predicted. As much as 29% less in some cases. The republicans put out their own set of predictions, they said Californians would pay 66% more than before Obama care. And........they were wrong, again.
1. Darrel,
I forget - Did the mandate and penalty thing pass in the Supreme Court? Wasn't there sort of a win-lose thing on that?
But, that is dismal news for Boehner, McConnell and company and good news for We The People.
Oh, three weeks in with the radiation treatment - lost five pounds. Well, been eating salads for supper too.
Some minor fatique.
1. 5 lbs, not a problem so far. The GOP will keep saying the same shit though, no one pays attention to the facts, just the scare stories.
2. Not really Fringe. The GOP just focused on a stupid idea. The truth is, the AHA will cost me. I earn an estimated 80K per year and my taxes have increased. Even though I, along with the rest of the American public was told that our taxes would not rise due to the Affordable Healthcare Act. The President lied to me, and everyone else. Being in a Union, I fall under the Cadillac Clause of the AHA. Which means I now pay taxes on benefits that I previously did not pay. Equates to $41.30 a week. And that's on top of the fact that our deductibles went up, while services got cut.
Anonymous comments might end up in the trash.

Arguing about whether the F-35 can dogfight misses a really big point
Amanda Macias
Business Insider
January 8, 2017
WASHINGTON — According to some reports, America's fifth-generation stealth aircraft doesn't excel at dogfighting.
But fortunately, the F-35 Lightning II is not built for dogfighting.
While some analysts have argued that the air-to-air-combat capabilities of the F-35A won't match some of its peer aircraft, pilots who spoke to Business Insider pointed out that the US's fifth-generation fighter is designed in such a way that dogfighting may be an afterthought.
"If you were to engage an F-35 in say, a visual dogfight capability," US Air Force Brig. Gen. Scott Pleus began, "the capabilities of the F-35 are absolutely eye-watering compared to a fourth-generation fighter."
"The airplane has unbelievable maneuvering characteristics that make it completely undefeatable in an air-to-air environment," said Pleus, who has 153 flight hours in the F-35A and is the director of the F-35 integration office.
"So if it's a long-range contact, you'll never see me and you'll die, and if it's within visual-range contact you'll see me and you're gonna die and you're gonna die very quickly."
Pleus, a former commander of the 56th Fighter Wing at Luke Air Force Base and a command pilot with just north of 2,200 flight hours, F-35 "is leaps and bounds ahead of anything else in the world today."
"The best thing about flying against an F-35, from the F-35 perspective is, you never knew I was there," US Air Force Brig. Gen. Scott Pleus, director of the F-35 integration office, told Business Insider.
"You literally would never know I'm there,"
"I flew the F-35 against other fourth-generation platforms and we killed them and they never even saw us."
"As a pilot, dogfighting is fun, but it doesn't get the job done," US Air Force Maj. Will "D-Rail" Andreotta, commander of the F-35A Lightning II Heritage Flight Team, told Business Insider.
"If I'm dogfighting I'm not bombing my target. I'm not getting my job done, and what I'm probably doing is wasting gas and wasting time."
Andreotta, a pilot in the 56th Fighter Wing at Luke Air Force Base who has flown both the F-16 and F-35, says the F-35A's unprecedented situational awareness and stealth gives him "the utmost confidence that this plane will operate perfectly" in a dogfight with fourth-generation aircraft.
"I have stealth, so I've fought against F-16s and I've never gotten into a dogfight yet. You can't fight what you can't see, and if F-16s can't see me then I'm never going to get into a dogfight with them."
What's more, Andreotta says, the US Air Force's F-16s and F-35s work well together.
"The F-16s, F-35s, F-22s, no matter what the aircraft, they all bring something to the fight, they're all different and they all are great compliments to each other. We just all have different capabilities that we can use to get the job done."
"The F-16s and fourth generation are really benefitting from all the information we are able to pull in and send to them," Andreotta said. "I can take information that I'm getting from the F-35 and push it out to other aircraft that don't have the capabilities that I have. That's huge. I would have killed for that when I was flying an F-16."
"I think if you talk to any fourth-generation pilot that has flown with the F-35 they'll rave about the information they're getting from us, and we're not even at the point where we are sending out all the information."

On Death
Can death be sleep when life is but a dream
And scenes of bliss pass as a phantom by?
The transient pleasures as a vision seem,
And yet we think the greatest pain is to die.
How strange is it that man on Earth should roam,
And lead a life of woe, but not forsake
His rugged path; nor dare he view alone
His future doom which is but to awake.
~© John Keats~

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

Fully Alive
I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
to live so that which came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom
and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.
~© Dawna Markova~

You Are
You are strong...
when you take your grief and teach it to smile.
You are brave...
You are happy...
when you see a flower and are thankful for the blessing.
You are loving...
You are wise...
when you know the limits of your wisdom.
You are true...
when you admit there are times you fool yourself.
You are alive...
when tomorrow's hope means more to you than yesterday's mistake.
You are growing...
You are free...
You are honorable...
when you find your honor is to honor others.
You are generous...
when you can take as sweetly as you can give.
You are humble...
when you do not know how humble you are.
You are thoughtful...
You are merciful...
when you forgive in others the faults you condemn in yourself.
You are beautiful...
when you don't need a mirror to tell you.
You are rich...
when you never need more than what you have.
You are you...
when you are at peace with who you are not.

A Creed To Live By
Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
Don't set your goals by what other people believe
Only you know what is best for you.
Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future.
By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
Don't give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.
It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Don't be afraid to encounter risks.
Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;
Don't dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without hope;
to be without hope is to be without purpose.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been,
but also where you're going.
Life is not a race,
but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

After A While You Learn
After a while you learn
The subtle difference between
Holding a hand and chaining a soul
And you learn that love doesn’t mean possession
And company doesn’t mean security.
And you begin to learn that promises aren’t contracts
And presents aren’t promises and you begin to accept
Your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead
With the grace of an adult not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build your roads today
Because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans
And futures have ways of falling down in mid-flight.
After awhile you learn that even sunshine
Burns if you get too much so you plant your
Own garden and decorate your own soul
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
That you really are strong
And you really do have worth
And you learn
And you learn…

The Journey~Mary Oliver
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice--
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug at your ankles.
Mend my life!
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations, though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do--
determined to save
the only life you could save.
~© Mary Oliver~

Words Of Wisdom
We cannot choose how many years we will live, but we can choose how much life those years will have. We cannot control the beauty of our face, but we can control the expression on it. We cannot control life's difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. We cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. Too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. Too seldom we choose to control what we can …our attitude.

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud~William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: -
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company:
I gazed -and gazed -but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought.
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils.
~© William Wordsworth~

now the eyes of my eyes are opened
it's so damn sweet when Anybody—

…for once(imag

the moment you feel, you're nobody-but-yourself.
I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance.
unlove's the heavenless hell and the homeless home

Top 5 things to know about network attacks
DDoS, SQL injection, and man-in-the-middle are just a few of the attacks that can compromise your network. Tom Merritt lists five things to know about network attacks.
Your network needs to be accessible. It’s how your business operates and how your company’s workflow stays efficient. Your network also needs to be closed off from the bad folks. Network attacks are on the rise. Sometimes intruders want to steal data, sometimes they just want to cause havoc–possibly to get you to pay a ransom, other times they don’t even want you to know they’re there. They just want to spy. Whatever they’re up to, you don’t want them there. Here are five things to know about network attacks.
1. Distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS). An oldie, but a goodie, that doesn’t even need to get into your network to have the desired effect. Whether it’s flooding your server with packets or forcing your databases to perform complex SQL queries, it can bring your network to its knees.
2. Stolen accounts. This is the one most people think about. The attackers either get into an account or figure out how to create one. This can be caused by weak passwords that get brute forced or social engineering like a phishing scheme that unwittingly hands over access. Privilege escalation builds on this by elevating what an account can do.
3. SQL injection attacks. Malicious code is used to exploit a vulnerability in your code to access or damage your data. It’s a juicy target with so much software still operating on SQL queries. Keep your accounts patched and don’t share databases between websites.
4. Man-in-the-middle attacks. Whether the attacker is in your network or not, if encryption isn’t end-to-end, they can intercept traffic. That means they can possibly hijack sessions and obtain user credentials.
5. Insider threats. These are hard. Somebody you trusted didn’t deserve that trust and abused their access. You need some kind of behavior analytics to detect suspicious user behavior to defend against the insider.
Knowing is half the battle, so just knowing about threats like these gets you part way to making your network more secure–you know, when you do something about it.

The Island
Offering my opinions
Most of what I have read about the DIS achievement issue has focused entirely on the high school. I think that the cure lies mostly in the grade school.
I am retired from having taught history in a South Carolina open admissions college. Its policy is to admit any applicant with a valid high school diploma and to remediate any shortcomings.
Numerous students fetched up in my classes unable to read beyond a very elementary level, barely sixth grade, if that. Almost none of them could be successfully remediated. The time to learn basic reading skills is in the early elementary grades when the mind is most receptive to that kind of learning. The same goes for basic math facts, although reading is more critical.
I have successfully helped algebra students who were buffaloed by word problems because they could not analyze sentences in the problems.
If a student learns to read with understanding before he discovers sex, he can fall off the track, decide to come back, and rebuild himself if he applies himself to the right books. If he cannot read well, he is probably doomed to failure.
My experience has been that students who are unable to read effectively are unable to keep up as they are passed up the grades, and that they are the ones who become discipline problems.
I am over-simplifying, but it is a fact that, if students exit the eighth grade having learned what they should have, high school will take care of itself.
If I could be the god of education, I would, if necessary, starve the upper grades in order to insure maximum achievement in the first six grades.
If we would identify the high school class of 2023 as the engine to pull the train and ensure its excellence at every step upwards, and maintain its progress behind it, then the graduating class of 2023 would have transformed the entire system along the way.
Gnashing our teeth about high school because it is so visible with its teams and its final graduation rate and college entrance rate is too late.
Do what you can to remediate the problems in high school, but find the ultimate cure in the early elementary grades.
I spend half the year in the house that I own on Little Deer, but as a person from away I am not writing to publicly interfere in Island matters. I am offering you my opinions in the hope that you will pursue or cause others to pursue the ideas that I have suggested.

13 Common lies that women tell
Nov 30, 2013, 12.00AM IST [ Tanvi Trivedi ]
Common lies that women tell (Thinkstock photos/Getty Images)
Women many a times feel that if they want to avoid confrontations or arguments they should lie so that things don't get out of proportion. The most popular lies they often indulge in are:
1. I was not waiting for your call.
2. I really like you but I don't know when the transition to love will happen.
3. If I wanted to sleep with anyone right now, it would only be you.
4. I think we should share the bill. You don't have to always treat me.
5. I have truly never realized that I would like this so much.
6. Sex is great fun.
7. It's all right even if the guy is bald and not good-looking, at least he is rich. Will be able to live a secure life.
8. I don't want to get possessive and I will never nag you.
9. You are the only one I ever wanted.
10. If I don't go out with him, he will find someone else.
11. No, nothing wrong with you, I think I am wrong somewhere!
12. I get along best with my in-laws, after all they are family.
13. Yes, if you want to be friends, I don't mind I was also thinking of the same thing. Why complicate things?

FocusScope class Null safety
A FocusScope is similar to a Focus, but also serves as a scope for its descendants, restricting focus traversal to the scoped controls.
For example a new FocusScope is created automatically when a route is pushed, keeping the focus traversal from moving to a control in a previous route.
If you just want to group widgets together in a group so that they are traversed in a particular order, but the focus can still leave the group, use a FocusTraversalGroup.
Like Focus, FocusScope provides an onFocusChange as a way to be notified when the focus is given to or removed from this widget.
The onKey argument allows specification of a key event handler that is invoked when this node or one of its children has focus. Keys are handed to the primary focused widget first, and then they propagate through the ancestors of that node, stopping if one of them returns KeyEventResult.handled from onKey, indicating that it has handled the event.
Managing a FocusScopeNode means managing its lifecycle, listening for changes in focus, and re-parenting it when needed to keep the focus hierarchy in sync with the widget hierarchy. This widget does all of those things for you. See FocusScopeNode for more information about the details of what node management entails if you are not using a FocusScope widget and you need to do it yourself.
FocusScopeNodes remember the last FocusNode that was focused within their descendants, and can move that focus to the next/previous node, or a node in a particular direction when the FocusNode.nextFocus, FocusNode.previousFocus, or FocusNode.focusInDirection are called on a FocusNode or FocusScopeNode.
To move the focus, use methods on FocusNode by getting the FocusNode through the of method. For instance, to move the focus to the next node in the focus traversal order, call Focus.of(context).nextFocus(). To unfocus a widget, call Focus.of(context).unfocus().
This example demonstrates using a FocusScope to restrict focus to a particular portion of the app. In this case, restricting focus to the visible part of a Stack.
To create a local project with this code sample, run:
flutter create --sample=widgets.FocusScope.1 mysample

• FocusNode, which represents a node in the focus hierarchy and has an explanation of the focus system.
• Focus, a widget that manages a FocusNode and allows easy access to managing focus without having to manage the node.
• FocusManager, a singleton that manages the focus and distributes key events to focused nodes.

Review of Secret Cinema, Spoilers Included
Update: After a few pieces of earnest feedback that I’m actually taking away from people’s experiences, I decided to alter the details of this post to exclude direct mention of the movie. Given the strong negatives of the overall experience, I feel like what movie it is doesn’t really matter. Still, doesn’t do to diminish someone else’s time. Fair warning: This post still contains details from the event that are pertinent for giving a coherent review. Some people may feel these details are spoilers. I’m including them not to be a jerk, but to be illustrative.
Wanted to offer some feedback about Secret Cinema from Friday, March 21st. This is my second Secret Cinema experience and I was really looking forward to it. My first was the Casablanca showing about a year ago.
Aspects of this Secret Cinema event were very good. I’ll just list them for brevity’s sake:
1. Exploring the space was amazing. Every room was exquisitely detailed. The notion of serendipitous interaction with other people and actors is a brilliant idea that in some cases played out very well.
2. Some of the actors were amazingly good. One actor in particular was a genuine pleasure to be in the presence of. My date and I lingered in his room for quite some time just watching him interact with people. So good.
3. The court room scene was an unexpected and mostly fun experience.
That said, the were some extremely negative aspects of the experience. To be honest, the negatives of the experience so far outweighed the positives, I don’t think I’m likely to participate in Secret Cinema again. Especially considering that some of the negatives were consistent from my first time at Secret Cinema last year.
Mean “Actors”
When we arrived, we were greeted by someone who told us to go “over there” where a group of people were gathered, so that we could get our hands stamped. We were immediately asked to show our tickets by a woman patrolling the line. I had the email on my phone, so I started loading it. The person asking me was very abrupt with me. She then moved on to the next people in line. As the line moved towards the front, I was asked my last name, and had my hand stamped without ever seeing the tickets. Which begs the question — why was I questioned about my tickets if all that was needed was my last name? Also, while waiting in this line, a man dressed as a police officer swore at the people in line in front of us and told them to speak when spoken to. Okay, if this were a prison movie or if we were in character as suspects for something (or kidnapped people perhaps) that makes sense. However, if his character is an officer on the street and we’re upstanding citizens, what sort of behaviour is that? Just felt oddly mean and degrading for no clear reason.
When we entered the Chinese Laundry, we were greeted by a character who was to shepherd us into the underworld. This character was openly antagonistic. Beyond being a bad actor whose awkward Boston-meets-Chicago-meets-London gangster accent was painful, he seemed to be just indulging in the opportunity to swear at us without making it feel like a legitimate experience at all. The mismatch between what would have made sense and what he was doing was so conspicuous that it took away from the experience. If he had chosen to say nothing at all, the effect would have been more resounding and interesting.
Once we were inside, I was greeted by a tall guy in a dark suit and hat. He bumped into me from behind. I turned to face him and apologised, unclear at that point that this was his act. Face to face, he leaned in close and blew e-cigarette smoke in my face. I could smell his not-clean breathe and feel the moistness of it on my lips. Gross. He then said, “You want to make a hundred bucks?” Let’s take a step back and think about real life. Let’s imagine that we’re in the real world. I’m in a club. Some guy walks up to me, runs into me, blows smoke in my face, then asks me if I want to do work for him. How would I feel? I would feel like punching the guy. I would settle for getting away from him as quickly as possible because he’s a really unpleasant guy to be around. So, given that this is ostensibly play (though there was nothing playful about him blowing smoke in my face), I just said “No. Not remotely.” He looked at me disgusted, told me “You’re not going to have any fun around here,” and walked away.
Ironically, he was pretty much right. What he didn’t understand is that I already wasn’t having any fun. No aspect of the experience so far put me in a state of freedom to play. Nothing so far felt like there were safe bounds between reality and play and that we were all in this together. No, in fact the experience felt much more power imbalanced in favour of those who knew what was going on than those who didn’t.
Secret Cinema feels more like the Stanford Prison Experiment than a playful immersion in the world of the movie.
Sadly, the list of bad interactions keeps going.
At one point, we were all ushered into a real court room to witness a fake trial. I was grabbed aside and drawn into a room with a guy who told us to render “Not Guilty” no matter what in exchange for $500 bucks. This seemed like the moment to be playful for me. Getting to participate in an intense jury debate sounds fun. Sadly that wasn’t the way this worked. I was to do as I was told here. Being told what to do and when to do it is not fun. Then, in the court room one actor posing as a bailiff told us to stand in one place. Then another came along, swore at us, and told us to go stand somewhere else, asking who told us to stand there in the first place. Hilariously, it was his fellow actor. Being treated like dogs expected to roll over again and again is not fun.
At another point, we tried to go into a club but we were stopped at the door by an actress. She told us it was members only and that we couldn’t just walk in “unless we had something for her.” So, playing along, we offered her as much money as we had. Yet, it wasn’t good enough. She kept up the act of surly door minder to the point that my date and I just felt truly unwelcome and walked away. It wasn’t mean-with-a-wink, it was just mean.
Later, I was standing in one of the rooms and a guy walked in, pointed harshly at me, said, “You — come with me,” and stormed out. Not a chance in hell. By this point, I was so fed up with the experience that I would rather stand off with the guy right then and there than engage in any more “play.”
I can keep going, but you get the point. I’ll leave out the other court room bailiff who stopped us to extract a “jury fee” from us and all the other small interactions that were antagonistic by default. Why couldn’t actors just have interesting personalities? Why was aggressive, exploitive behaviour the default interaction with every person? Sure, the movie they showed was a gritty movie, but that doesn’t mean that every person you meet should treat you badly as the first note of the interaction. Also, the fact that everyone in the movie is a grifter is ostensibly a secret, so we should have had no idea why the hell everyone was being so abusive. The whole thing feels like an indulgent experience for the “actors” and an abusive experience for the attendees.
The most absurd reality of this is that I’m an extremely playful person. I love fancy dress. I love acting a fool and not taking myself seriously. I do a lot of public speaking and feel very comfortable in a semi-structured environment that is semi-contrived and semi-real. I was once kicked out of a public park with some friends for acting out Hamlet on the amphitheatre stage after the park had closed. For god’s sake, I went to Burning Man last year and had an amazing time. I also got really into this night. I rented an authentic 20s suit and followed all the procedures ahead of time. So did my date. I wanted to come and have an exciting and playful night. If someone like me can’t get into Secret Cinema, who the hell is it for? Who would have a good time?
Cellphone Confiscation
Ruined screen protector
Back at the start of the night, after getting our hands stamped, we walked to where we had to give up our phones for the evening. Part of my work is building systems that operate at all hours of the day on complex infrastructure. Sometimes systems break and I have to act quickly to figure out what’s going wrong. It makes me very uncomfortable giving up my phone because it’s my notification mechanism when things go wrong. Also, I use my phone as part of two-factor authentication to lots of systems. If they lose my phone, it would be more than a day of work to get things back in order, starting with buying a new phone and a trip to my service provider to get a replacement SIM. Not to mention the trouble it would be trying to get them to cough up the money for the phone later. Not remotely my notion of a good time.
So, I questioned their procedure, asking what assurance I have that they were going to do this correctly and not cause me tons of grief. The response I got was a compassion-less “We haven’t lost a phone yet. This is company policy.”
Interestingly, none of the information I was given ahead of time included an explanation that this would be required. I went back through every email and every web page I was directed to. No mention at all. If they had told me ahead of time, maybe I would have changed my mind about going. Maybe that’s their reasoning behind surprising you with it when you get there.
The guy taking my phone explained that I would be given a ticket that would allow me access to my phone at any point if I needed it urgently. Unhappy but not willing to end the evening five minutes into it, I gave up my phone, took my packet and went inside.
At the end of the night, my date and I went to retrieve our phones. There was already a group of people starting to accumulate, but we were first in line. A guy still acting half-way in character took our ticket, radioed for our phones to be brought up then walked away. Minutes into this, with no more info about what was happening, one of the other people waiting had someone return with a satchel with his ticket’s number on it. The woman returning his phone peeked inside the bag and then asked him to describe his phone to her. This is their system. They decided that a number and a satchel was the correct way to do this. Interrogating people afterward is insane. If you take my phone from me and give me a reclamation means for it, I do not expect to also have to prove my knowledge of my own property. It also rang closely of being asked for my tickets at the entrance when my name was all that was required.
Being honest, I lost my temper at this. I spoke harshly to this lady. Something along the lines of “Just give him his fucking phone back.” Reasonably, he looked surprised. She looked antagonistic right back at me and told me this was necessary because they wanted to make sure people got their correct phone. I would argue that it’s complete bullshit and that they should come up with a more reliable system if they wanted to take ownership of tens of thousand of pounds of nearly identical devices. If I found any ticket lying on the ground, went to them, answered their question with “an iPhone,” I would have a super high likelihood of walking away with a phone that wasn’t mine. It’s a bad system at best. Also, when we got our phones later, they didn’t ask for a description. Arbitrary treatment where someone else has power over you and you just have to do whatever they cook up for you to do is not fun.
Around that minute, chaos ensued. A group of people down the hall had been setting up a table for returning phones to people. It was unclear who we should be talking to. It was also completely obvious that the organisers had done nothing ahead of time. They were sorting the phone satchels numerically while fifty-ish people stood and waited. This was around 5 hours into the evening. It didn’t occur to them to have this done ahead of time? That at the end of the movie people would want to leave? Or to make sure the phones stayed in order as they were collected? I cannot understand why this was an issue at all. Every coat check I’ve ever been to just gets this right by default.
The group of us waiting for our phone grew from the original ten, to fifty, to probably half of the people at the event. This is an interesting data point, because we were leaving early. As we walked out of the movie hall, multiple people told us to stay because there was a dance afterward. We didn’t exactly feel like dancing. When the credits rolled, I felt like I had put up with the fullness of the experience and, relieved, could now leave. Perhaps some of the more than a hundred people gathered in the hallway felt the same way.
So at this point we were waiting somewhere between the desk and the table (theoretically, our phones would come to the desk where the guy had radioed for them), we heard someone shouting “Over 200 on the right, under 200 on the left”. They were trying to partition a mob of more than a hundred of people *after* it had become a mob. Also at this point, despite having left early to get out before the crowd, my date and I were now swimming in a mob of people with no idea where our phones my show up — the desk where the guy had radioed or the table where the mob was looking.
We walked to the tables (where they were still shuffling phones while people waited) and asked. We were told to please wait in line. There were no lines, just two mobs of people running the length of the hallway now. I was feeling sort of apoplectic at this point so I just walked away. I would rather sit quietly somewhere than wait in an infinitely long line while they sort out something that should never have been a problem. My date was more persistent with the person holding back the mob, got a bit aggressive, and had our phones returned immediately. I feel bad that we jumped the mob. I feel like we got special privilege because we were rude, which is not something I ever want to be. This feeling is counterbalanced by the fact that we took special efforts to get ahead of exactly that situation and the incompetent handling of the situation ruined that and left us standing around with no notion of what to do until the situation was going to be a mess no matter what.
When we got back home, my date noticed that they had managed to scratch up her screen protector in the process of confiscating and returning our phones. No damage to the phone, fortunately, but it indicates that they weren’t going out of their way to take care of our phones.
In sum, Secret Cinema made for a bad evening. If I had it to do all over again, I would skip the event without batting an eyelash. I would have had more fun watching a lot of other movies alone.
Vignette on Connecting
A faint flicker glides into dark space. It reveals just the shadow of a thing. In time a flicker returns, a different hue and intensity. Its return exposes the faintest bit of details in the nascent form. Somewhere far off there’s another mass, hard but porous waiting for the next tingling reception. Swirling in its own half dark, the nearer hulk begins to articulate another signal. Textured and writhing with hints and careful details. Then off into the open air. Lightning’s courier darts with the parcel. The atmospheric din crackles and hums with non-interference. Message received. Interest flickers in each mass. They grow nearer in the now quieter space. In their murky distance, the rocky forms soften to receive, swell to send. Flecks of sparkling delight begin lacing throughout every next wisp. At length, a wiry, bidirectional stream spins out from each to the other. Each offering a more solid stream from an ever softer hulk. Slow pulsations carry the ebbs and flows of connection into convergence.
Vignette in the Midst of Change
Time tumbles forward. Complication and business pervade every moment and every moment twinkles with transience. In moments between moments you look around and see flecks of the world outside of the slipstream. Anchor points. A beautiful girl’s smile in the sunlight of a high school summer afternoon turning evening. Cars in the parking lot stand out like sparse freckles. Stragglers pass through the walk ways at work. The seats of the office are mostly empty and the screens dark. The sun sinks into the ocean through western windows. A handful of smiles surround you. Eyes and words shine in the evening sky over top of looming mountains. You push a little, pull a little. Impatience tells you you’ve got enough control. You fall your own fall. The water is your water. You are a plunging rock.
Here We Go Again
This is the first post of the newest iteration of my corner of the web. Enjoy and converse. In case you’re curious, this is a WordPress blog. I’m not a WordPress fanboy, but it is the best tool for the job as far as I’m concerned. I rebuilt most of the blog twice before switching to WP. The first time, I wrote a directory parser/cacher system that would let me statically generate the blog from flat files. The second time, I wrote an even more sophisticated version that was still file-backed rather than database backed. I was doing a lot of fancy caching, minimizing, and dog fooding. Still, I wasn’t getting it done fast enough. Who cares who fast a blog loads if it isn’t done enough to launch. Exactly no one, including me. After spending probably fifteen hours on each I had the epiphany that just using WordPress will deliver significantly more bang for the time I spend. At the time of this writitng I have approximately 7 hours in the project and it’s nearly complete in terms of desired layout and features for desktops and tablets. The handheld mobile view sucks, but I haven’t spent any time optimizing for that yet. I’ll get there. Anyway, now that this bad boy is up and running, look for frequent updates with interesting things.

Not Even Your Feet are Spared from the Changes of Pregnancy
Written by yvonnethornton on February 25th, 2013
And you thought puberty was bad! When you become pregnant, your body will go through so many changes you’ll be left feeling like you were transported into a different body. Some of the strange bodily changes you’ll experience will go away. The extra curves, the thicker hair, and the pregnancy glow are a result of temporary hormonal changes. However, some changes will last forever. Unfortunately, your stretch marks are in that category, but we’ll save that painful discussion for another time. One surprising change you might notice is a bigger shoe size.
During pregnancy, your body produces large amounts of hormones that are meant to make the pregnancy and birthing process easier. One such hormone is known as relaxin. This hormone loosens the muscles and ligaments, which make your stomach’s expansion easier and will eventually make it easier for your baby to pass through your birth canal. Unfortunately, it doesn’t distinguish which muscles need to be loosened, so it affects all of them at once.
Now that you know what relaxin does, you’ll be able to imagine how it affects your feet during pregnancy. Since the arches of your feet are mainly made up of ligaments, the relaxin hormone will cause them to stretch out as you put weight on them. The bones in your foot will also adjust based on this expansion. After you’ve given birth, the relaxin will leave your body, but your feet will stay at their new, longer length.
Studies show that obese women will experience more of a stretch, so it is more likely your shoe size will change after pregnancy if you’re overweight. Similarly, women who spend a lot of time on their feet will suffer from a more increased shoe size.
Unfortunately, there is no telling how much the relaxin in your body during pregnancy will affect the size of your feet. However, you might be able to minimize it by achieving a healthy weight before pregnancy and spending as little time as possible standing. If your shoe size does go up, just think of it as the perfect excuse to buy more shoes.

I am trying to accomplish the following result with bash:
1. grep files for some substring.
2. take the filenames (which can contain spaces) for these files and print them.
3. after printing each filename I want to grep again, however this time inside that file only.
So the result looks like this:
it works!
it works!
I tried constructing a command like this:
grep -irl "something" . | xargs -I % sh -c 'echo "%"; cat "%" | grep -i "another thing" "%"'
Explanation: grep -l returns the filenames. Then I print those filenames with echo "%" and then I want to grep inside the file.
But no luck. What is the lesson here?
To clarify: My actual problem/goal is to find all files that contain a string A but do not contain a string B as well.
More clarification: I want something like grep A | grep -v B but I want a list of all files that matched A, as well.
• This (didn't test) ? 2nd xargs -> grep -irl "something" . | xargs -I % sh -c 'echo "%"; cat "%" | xargs -I % grep -i "another thing" "%" – Jacques Dec 18 '19 at 13:10
• You're sending all grep output to xargs. – Kusalananda Dec 18 '19 at 13:13
• No I want to first grep to find some files and then grep inside those files. Your command seems to grep over all files twice. – scrrr Dec 18 '19 at 13:13
• Do you need to see the output of the first grep? – Kusalananda Dec 18 '19 at 13:14
• Kusalananda: the first grep returns the filenames (option -l) only – scrrr Dec 18 '19 at 13:14
What is the lesson here?
Probably do not over-egg the pudding.
% (
> grep -l -r -- "$patternA" . |
> tee /dev/fd/7 |
> xargs grep -L -- "$patternB"
> ) 7>&1

Prerequisite: For students with little or no knowledge of Italian language. Consent Code required (please see instructions in bar to right).
Are you interested in experiencing a taste of Italy right here on campus? If reading an Italian menu with the right accent, understanding Bocelli and Botticelli, speaking the language, and learning about love and passion beyond the stereotypes are not enough to get you involved, we will find many more ways to make your Italian experience worthwhile. Just as in Italy, if you have no specific reasons to study Italian, we will make one up just for you!
ITAL 30A Intermediate Italian
(1) MTWR 1:00–1:50, Servino
(2) MWRF 11:00–11:50, Monteleone-Wasson
Prerequisite: A grade of C- or higher in ITAL 20b or the equivalent. Consent Code required (please see instructions in bar to right).
Is Italian synonymous with pizza and the mafia? Of course not! Students in this course advance their study in Italian language and culture by improving their ability to recount events, give descriptions, and make comparisons—both orally and in writing. Working with newspaper articles, short stories, and films, students gain an understanding of what growing up in Italy is all about! Students learn how the closeness of family and friends is the basis of Italian culture and how Italians are able to live in a modern Italy despite their old soul that comes from ancient values and colorful imagery of its people.
ITAL 106A Advanced Readings in Italian
(1) MWR 12:00–12:50, Monteleone-Wasson
Prerequisite: ITAL 30a, ITAL 105a, or the equivalent. Consent Code required (please see instructions in bar to right).
Enhance your reading skills through close study and analysis of representative works from Italian literature and culture. We will put women at the center of the story and look at the changes in conditions and ideas about women from the beginning of the XX century to today and discuss how these reflect changes in society. What was and is “proper” for a woman? What did and does the law say about women? Was there ever an Italian feminist movement? What is the role of women in Italy today? By examining their works, we will discover Italian women as protagonists, symbolic figures, and authors in history, law, literature, and films. This course will allow you to explore and better understand important aspects of contemporary Italian culture.

Italian Studies Electives:
CLAS 134B The Art and Archaeology of Ancient Rome
(1) TR 2:00–3:20, Koloski-Ostrow
This is an experiential learning course. Surveys the art and architecture of the ancient Romans from the eighth century BCE to the end of the empire in Sicily, mainland Italy (with focus on Rome, Ostia, Pompeii, and Herculaneum), and in the Roman provinces.
CLAS 145B Topics in Greek and Roman Art & Archaeology
(1) TR 3:30–4:50, Koh
Topics vary from year to year and the course may be repeated for credit. Topics include daily life in ancient Rome; ancient technology and art; and Athens and the golden age of Greece.
CLAS 165A Roman Sex, Violence, and Decadence in Translation
(1) TR 5:00–6:20, Koloski-Ostrow
Famous Roman texts (200 BCE-200 CE) are read from social, historical, psychological, literary, and religious viewpoints. The concept of "Roman decadence" is challenged both by the Roman literary accomplishment itself and by its import on subsequent periods.
FA 46B High and Late Renaissance in Italy
(1) TF 12:30–1:50, Unglaub
Examines the major works of art produced in Italy in the sixteenth century. It focuses on the principal centers of Florence, Rome, and Venice. The foremost artists of the age, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Titian, receive in-depth coverage. The course also considers the social institutions, ecclesiastical, courtly and civic, that furnished the patronage opportunities and promoted the ideas that occasioned, even demanded, new artistic forms of grace and harmony, energy and torsion.
FA 191B Studies in Renaissance and Baroque Art: Velasquez and Goya
(1) M 2:00–4:50, Unglaub
This seminar focuses on the life and works of the two greatest masters of Spanish Art, Diego Velasquez (1599-1660) and Francisco de Goya (1746–1828). Though a century separates their careers, there are many parallels in their works, and the later artist engaged in a constant dialogue with his predecessor. We will examine their innovative techniques of painting and printmaking and consider the role of each as a court artist during the Hapsburg and Napoleonic eras. Whereas Velasquez was the consummate courtier, Goya grapples with the legacy of the Enlightenment in an age of revolutionary upheaval.
Independent Major
Students seeking to pursue Italian Studies further may petition for an Independent Interdisciplinary Major or IIM and discuss various options with the Italian Studies faculty members. For more information, please visit our IIM in Italian Studies page.

This is interesting.... Radiohead in HP, Goblet of Fire?
*Bengali in Platforms*
Revival of the Phoenix
It has been months and months since my last episode of blogging. Too much shit has happened in the past few hours, weeks, months, half year I just don't know where I should begin.
Truth be told, i wasn't going to ever post another blog ever again. The reason why I'm even back? My friends. They posed several questions to me, one which drove stubborn ol' me to post again: " For chrissake, ******, what is the purpose of this blogging thing? Why on earth would you ever want anyone to read your private thoughts online? What if your identity is compromised?
Well, truth be told, I realized don't give a shit.
Why blog. I don't know. I've always had a journal when I was a kid. Which was compromised several times. ;) Used to be a good writer. And want to get that skill back. A year ago, I was an avid hater of emails, of IMing, of any form of e-communication. I felt that it took the personal touch out of correspondances, I mean think about it, how many of you would rather get a cute hallmark card in the mail, along with a dozen real roses, as opposed a .JPEG file of them?! (side note, guys get a clue) How many of you would rather sit with a friend and have a cup of coffee rather than IM for hours and hours?! But maybe...maybe things like blogs, craigslists, friendster...maybe it actually brings people closer together rather than stay apart...maybe there is a thing to this "E-connection" thing after all.
Why blog? And why am I bloggin' the following right now?
My mind feels numb right now. My body too. Maybe it's because of what happened a couple of weeks ago. It's not a big deal, I keep telling myself, it happens to every girl, I tell myself. But I'm tired. I feel like giving up. OutrageousMinx (http://outrageousminx.blogspot.com) would kick my ass if she knew if I were thinking such self-defeating thoughts, but I feel beaten down by the frogs. As of now, the essence of ME is in self-imposed hibernation...not waiting for things to get "better per say" on the outside world, but waiting for an inner transformation. Am waiting out the storm, waiting to arise from the ashes, a fiery phoenix in its full-grown glory. ..I want to tell you the story of the three 'frogs,' but nows not a good time. Next post perhaps. For now, I want to share what I found on Craigslist on Sat. As I was perusing the wares, whilst being snowed in by the blizzard, I came upon this post, and it mirrors EXACTLY what am feeling at the moment. Mirrors everything I've always felt, but I never thought that an XY would feel the same way. In that one flash on my screen, I thought I had made an "e-connection" at last, an internet kindred spirit had appeared before my wary eyes, my hands poised above the keyboard to press "send," in seconds my message would land in his inbox and he would respond........
I never emailed him.
Once upon a time, I thought that work and career were the "hard"parts of life to figure out, and that the personal side of thingswould fall neatly and more or less automatically into place. Oops.This assumptionhas left me with a great career, along with myfamily(including my 2 younger siblings and my totally cool nephew),and all the friends I've gathered along the way. Which is kind of alot to have already, if you think about it. But, being a selfishglutton, now I want the rest of the perfect life. Living in NY,having a great job, friends and family, AND being in love. I love tocook, dance (swing and salsa, please), travel, go camping, to ballgames and to the theater. All things that are better WITH someone.It's no fun to open a fancy bottle of red wine and not have someoneto share it with. (Well, it's kind of fun, actually, but it's betterwith someone who appreciates it as much as you do.) Can't claim toknow exactly what I'm looking for, though it involves someone whounderstands that almost everything is funny in some way, who'sconvinced I'm slightly too good for her and who I suspect is slightlytoo good for me. I am by nature and training a lazy couch potato wholoves to spend a day reading or watching bad TV. However, I can quoteall sorts of reallybad 80s movies. I have a large DVD, CD, bookcollection, and it would be even bigger if I didn't keep drinking it.I like music. And photography, and painting. Now I just need someonewho makes me die laughing and wants to cook with me. My ideal matchlaughs. A lot. At herself as much as at anyone else. She's well readand intellectually curious, but just as curious about the Behind theMusic talking about the one-armed drummer in Def Leppard. She enjoystrying new things. She loves food and wine, and probably likescooking. She enjoys the outdoors, but probably isn't too obsessedwith sports. (OK, this point is flexible.) She loves movies, fromBest in Show to Rear Window to Kevin Smith movies to Casablanca to,of course, The Princess Bride. SHe's not scared to hold a guy's handin public. She has, and understands, a deadpan sense of humor, andsees the difference between making fun of people and being mean tothem. She hopes to find someone who's at least as smart as she is,and actively wants someone who's successful and has hid own life. Shegets that I treat her very well and spoil her, and that I do sobecause I expect her to do the same for me. She likes men who cantake care of themselves, and understands that just because he CANtake care of himrself doesn't mean he doesn't like it when she doesthings for him,too.Lastly, doing well at whatever she does is veryimportant to her,but work isn't the ONLY thing to her. Everyone is looking for the "BEST", the tallest, richest, handsome. Iam looking for the "RIGHT" person. The "right" person is the personwho will bring the best out of you. The key question I ask myself isin the presence of this special person is do I like myself more? Mymajor obstacle for finding the one is that I'm not interested indating. In other words, I can't imagine cycling through women afterwomen. Most dates in the past made me wish I'd just stayed home andwatched Jeopardy, and it takes a toll on a person's mind, body andspirit. I just want to met one person and have my first date lastforever. I am not a serial dater. An evening with me involves hotchocolate and great conversation. A relationship of kindness thatelevates the lives of people involved. Life's greatest test is howwell we love.

Londontown Hooplah...Part Two
Okay, so I wasn't going to write till tomorrow or possibly next week, but seeing as I found out some news that literally made me sick to my stomach just now (will inevitably see ex-boyfriend of four and a half f*$#ing years at this weekend's bengali cultural conference) I thought that it would be a good idea to write to keep occupied. Especially seeing that all friends are occupied with work, school etc, currently unavailable for outpouring of chai-baby angst. (really did get sick, threw up lunch contents, never happened before, plus palpitations. Sigh. wish wasnt such a softee.)
Anyways, so where was I? Oh yeah, so Thursday night ended on a sour note for the Brits, but what can you do if Beckam missed that penalty shot? If it wasnt for him pretty sure they wouldda won it. Oh and then we went to Maroush, an absolute delectable lebanese restaurant, forgot what dishes we had already, but it sure beats the indian food there, very flavourful!
Next day was spent at Oxford cIRcus doing the girl thing...shopping, and at night went to place called FIVE. Cool cool place. Upstairs I felt like I was at a house party, and downstairs felt like a regular club. Diverse mix of people. People in suits, the "beautiful people" as well as kids in jeans, quite varied. All 90s music however, nothing current. Came back at the wee hours. Felt bad for NormalGrl, she kept on giving up her bed for me and her sleeping on the couch, and I was too tired to argue, isn't NormalGrl a sweetie? mmm. Should have given her a better nic though, will think of better one later.
Saturday was what I was waiting for, taking NormalGrl to Green Street, which is like the Jackson heights of London. spent a good six hours rummaging through all the shops, NOrmal's eyes popping open over the colors, smells, and tastes... SHe is an absolute cutie, loves halwah and burfi (my kinda girl!!!) plus girlfriend's got a keen eye for shoes, of which there were many in green st. If ever you want to go, check out a place called KaDAM.
Encountered DEPLORABLE ATTITUDE at DAMINI'S. As my old scottish roomie puts it, "what a WENCH!" No wonder you girls can;t get a date, and have you no love for a fellow sista? URghgh. Don't feel like talking about it now, shall be in subsequent post, about SOUTH ASIANS, AMERICAN-BRED VERSUS BRITISH BRED. Needless to say you don't need to be a genius to see where my loyalties lie. Night time spent at soho, at several places including tokyo diner and AKBAR. Make sure you go and have a drink called RUBY there.
Sunday was my last day :(. Went to Camden Town. I didnt go through the street markets, too crowded. Although they did have these very funny Barnardesque T-shirts there that I wish I had as a Barnardite. Eh boys, am not a man-hater yet, shall not write out what those tshirts said.
Bleh. I really dont wanna drive down to Baltimore this weekend. Bleh. NO wanna see ex. Bleh. blah. bloo. But promised the little cuz. So have to. Sigh.
but no....blog, you did make ickle chai-babes feel a wee bit better...
will go have italian coffee and some Cadbury roses now to cheer up more...
Londontown Hooplah... Part One
So I just got back from my annual trip to London town... I had a fabulous time 5 days out of 7, and the other 2 days the city seemed to wear a bit thin on me, could not wait to get back to NY.
It started off last Tuesday, flew by Brit-Airways to Heathrow and then on to Paddington, from there crashed at a family member's house. Weird dynamics with family member and his wife. Needless to say, hardly felt very welcome at all! Which is strange and sad, since have always felt welcome with said family-member, he has always been the big brother I never had, as am only child. Sigh. Suppose there might be some marital problems brewing in the midst of eden?
Anyhoo, by Wed night was getting a bit pissed off at the whole situation and I caled up my friend from Columbia U., whom I shall call NormalGrl. NormalGrl was absolutley MARVELOUS!! She assured me I would be more than welcome to stay with her with full roomate approval, and I packed my little plastic bag and shot off to Paddington station as quick as my little brown legs could carry me.
Welcomed by both NormalGrl and her delightful roomate, my vacation finally began. That night went to a place called SALT. Very cool, good drinks, although buffalo wings could not possibly meet the standards of a new yorker, was very nice posh and pleasant place. Good job guys, if you're reading this! I must give this to the Brits though: their beer is far superior to the Piss that America drinks...bleh! (readers, you must try a place in london called Belgo to sample good variety of beers!)
That Thursday night was the big Euro Football Match between the Brits and the Portugese, and what a match it was!!! Brits scored within the 1st 3 minutes of the game and from then on was nailbiting match up until the penalty shots at the end. Well, was more nailbiting due to the fact that my fine friends were cheering for the opposing team, something you can only do at a posh place like Salt where the gentlemen go, otherwise we would have assuredly been beaten to a pulp at a regular pub. No, the "blokes" were a good bunch there and teased us , "You Americans are bad luck..." which was apparently so, as the Portugese won, but because it was lousy "bend it like Beckham"'s fault, not ours. HE SUCKS!!!
Do not understand Brit Dynamics, even though technically am a Brit. Well, was born a brit but came stateside when was very young, so yes that does make me 99%more american than brit, i suppose. See Brits on the surface during the hours of 7 (if they are awake at that hour) to 4 are so obnoxiously polite, reserved,(or should I say repressed?) That by the time happy hour surfaces, you can tell that all they want to do is burst. And burst they do, they go completely CraZY after just a few pints in them. They say whatever is on their mind, can be rough, obnoxious and abusive to a fault, as I encountered in a former visit to England, where being drunk was a conduit for a couple of them to be openly racist to me and my friends!!!! Silly, actually never have seen that kind of behaviour with grown adult men and women--- only have seen that a couple of times when I was peeling off young freshmen from the West End's floors, and even that was tamer. Sorry Brits, but I tell it how it is, us brooklyn girls have a tendency to do that.
Anyways, more later on trip Hooplah Part two, (though at a much later time, rotations are starting once more :*(

And so It Begins...
Hellluuuuu internet!
Although I swore off posting any kind of personal information on the www , my friends with their brave new blogs served as an inspiration to me to write down my random rants and ravings and to share them with the web. Plus as unfortunate as it is, it seems as if my brain is no longer connected to my pen/pencil when it comes to writing down my thoughts. No longer can I scribble away down on paper(as evidenced by the multitude of half-finished pretty journals gathering dust in my bedroom)-- instead, said brain is now, it seems, permanently hard-wired to the keyboard for transferrence of ideas.
So who am I and what am doing here? It is enough to say the following for now: Me. 27 years old. Single. (had to put the single bit in there- hey you never know who's reading!) South-Asian American girlie surviving in big old beau-ti-ful yet crazy NYC. Brooklyn to be precise. Am a paradox in disquise. Someone who is quiet at first when you first meet her, but who, upon establishing a connection, a friendship, whatever, becomes instantly zany, a crazy kookie spunky klutz that my friends all know me to be. Have been known to spend a record ten hours on the phone without bathroom break or food! A lover of chocolate and wine, tipsy karaoke with best friends, singing Shakira on the commute to school (both in car and on subway, much to the horror of other riders.) Am a big fan of the comma, and the ... I love ...-ing. You'll see me use the "," and "..." everywhere and occasionally the dash "-" despite getting my liberal arts training, and despite the countless consultations with "Strunk and White..."
Well okay, the other reason for my current state of deplorable grammar, punctuation and use of run-on sentences is because ... all the literary genius has been sapped out of me...because....am med student. yes, yes, Cannot hide the fact, eventually will get out anyway. Speaking of which, how come there's no "medicine" under the blogster occupation thingamagigee? Anyways, is the reason for attempt at blogging. Maybe it will save whatever scrap of creative spark that I had once upon a time a loooooong ass time ago.
Anyways, is getting late, must catch my zzzzs, shall write about my fabulous trip to london in next log.

Grade 10 Grammar Lesson 49 There and it as subjects
• Why do we use ‘there’ as subjects?
Is ‘there+ be’ followed by definite word or indefinite words?
How does the verb agree with the subject ‘there’?
Grade 10 Grammar Lesson 49 There and it as subjects (1)
• We use there as subject followed by the verb be to introduce a person or thing to say this person or thing exists, happens, or is to be found in a particular place.
• We also use this pattern to ask about the existence or presence of people and things.
• There + be is usually followed by indefinite words like a/an; any/some/no+ one/body/thing etc rather than definite words like the, this, my, yours, a name etc.
• Note that if the noun after be is singular, the verb is singular; if the noun is plural, the verb is plural; if the noun consists of a list, the verb is decided by the first noun in the list.
• We use it instead of a that- clause, wh- clause, to- infinitive clause, or if- clause as the subject. The pattern is: It + be + adjective/noun + clause.
• We can also use a verb other than be in the pattern: It + verb + (object) + clause. Verbs that fit in this pattern include amaze, annoy, bother, concern, frighten, please, surprise, turn out, appear, emerge, follo, happen, seem, worry.

"Now the Ears of My Ears are Open"
I mentioned in my last post Lend Me Your Ear that I would talk about my experience practicing mindful listening. My fiance' kindly agreed to give it a try with me. We started by facing each other. I was the listener the first time around. Being mindful while listening without interrupting the other person or saying anything at all for five minutes was a new experience. It was different than I expected and it made me feel more connected with what he was saying. When he was the listener, he also felt like it was a different sort of experience. I have found that practicing it (when I remember to) has yielded interesting results, particularly when dealing with people who are angry and stressed. I have found that mindfully listening to agitated people allows them to get it all out and they eventually lose the energy of the emotion and end the conversation either apologizing or at least being more rational. It is definitely a tool I will continue to use! Let me know how it has worked for you.
(The title is taken from one of my favorite poets, e.e.cummings. I highly recommend his collected works for the poet enthusiasts out there!)

Every so often I see patterns appear at Astonish Results. I like to call them “themes”. It seems the theme for the past several weeks has been “resources”.
Everyone has a limited amount of resources; time, money, energy etc. Businesses who are the best at using those resources succeed. It been said that there are only 24 hrs in a day, but somehow there are those businesses that use their time more wisely and get more accomplished.
At Astonish Results, we’re always looking at our internal processes to determine where the low hanging fruit is. How can we make small changes that will prove to create huge wins in terms of time and resources. I suggest you make the same assessment.

Annie Oakley was the best shot in the west.
But imagine how much better she could have been if she'd had sunglasses. Can you imagine how hard it would be to hit a target with the sun glaring down in your eyes? Plus, it was extra sunny back in the Old West. Or at least, it seems like it was. Either way, Annie Oakley would have loved to have some sunglasses like this. And if they're good enough for her, they're probably good enough for you.

shane [Using NetVSTHost for Macintosh]
Line 4: Line 4:
* You can't mix and match 32-bit and 64-bit plugins in a single NetVSTHost instance. * You can't mix and match 32-bit and 64-bit plugins in a single NetVSTHost instance.
-The present NetVSTHost is really very quick hack of the open-source VSTHost codeAs resultseveral of the program's original features don't actually work in NetVSTHost, even though you'll still see them in the GUI+Once you have configured your network IP address and port number in the Network Parameters dialog, NetVSTHost will save them in the Windows Registry and come up ready to receive network connections each time you start it. (Unless there is a network error, e.g., if you removed a network adapter. Just open the Network Parameters dialog again and re-configure, and you should be good to go.)
- * Although the **Devices** menu allows you to call up dialogs to configure Wave (PCM audioand MIDI I/O devices, NetVSTHost doesn't use eitherso only the **Network** menu entry is relevant+
- +===== Adding a plugin =====
+ * Click on the "page" icon just below the **File** menu.
+ * Open the **File** menu and select *New Effect..."
+ * Type CTRL+N on the PC keyboard
+All three of these will have the same effect, which is to open a standard Windows file-selection dialogHere you have to navigate to wherever your desired plugin .DLL file is located, select it by clicking on it, and then click the **Open** button.
+ * There appears to be no standard location for VST plugins under Windows. If you use Windows DAWit may have its own preferred location.
+ * ''C:\Program Files\Vstplugins'' is commonly used. On 32-bit Windows systems, this will contain 32-bit VST plugins. On 64-bit systems, this would contain only 64-bit VSTs; 32-bit VSTs would go in ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Vstplugins'' instead.
+Once you select a VST plugin and open it, a small window will appear, with some information about the plugin. For example, here is the description window for [[http://TubeOhm/T-FM.html|TubeOhm's T-FM synthesizer VST]]:
+The **Audio/Network switch** (loudspeaker icon) lets you switch between sending sound to the computer's own audio output or across the network. For network operation, this button should **NOT** be pushed in
+Once you have opened at least one plugin (effect or synth), several of the buttons on the NetVSTHost toolbar will appearand you can use them as shown below.
+===== Chaining VSTs =====
+As soon as you open more than one VST, you need to define how they are to be "chained" together, so audio flows from one into the next. Suppose you open one synth plugin and one effect plugin, e.g. a delay or reverb. By default, both plugins are set up to accept input from the network (this does not make sense for synths, and you may hear a nasty noise) and send their output back to the network. Conceptually, they are connected in parallel like this:
+ - Select the information window for the effect by clicking on it (its title bar will become highlighted), or by selecting it from the **Window** menu.
+ - From the **Effect** menu, select **Chain After...**. A small dialog will appear, containing a list of all of the VST plugins you have opened, except for the selected effect. Click on the one you want your effect to follow in the signal chain.
+Now your two plugins will be arranged in series, like this:
+Note that NetVSTHost's internal mixer is still present, even though it now only has one input. This is the key to how you can stack multiple signal chains, e.g. to play two synth VSTs at once. If you now open a second synth VST, it will initially be set up in its own one-element "chain" in parallel with the one you just made:
+If you want, you could then chain additional effect plugins after this one.
+===== Synthesizer vs. Effect plugins =====
+The diagrams and discussion above concentrated on synthesizers, and in this respect the diagrams are a little misleading. The words "PCM audio from network" should really be "MIDI event data from network", because synthesizers accept MIDI events and produce audio. Effect plugins, in contrast, accept unprocessed audio and produce processed audio.
+When you have configured your system of VST chains to act like a synthesizer, use the **NetSynth** plugin in your regular DAW to access it. As long as you configure NetSynth with the same IP address and port number as the NetVSTHost instance containing your chain, you should be able to send out MIDI and hear/record the resulting sound.
+When you set up a system of VST chains to act like one large effecttaking in audio and returning processed audio, use the **NetFilter** plugin in your DAW. As with NetSynth, you must configure NetFilter with the same IP address and port number as the NetVSTHost instance containing your effect chain.
+===== Using multiple NetVSTHost instances on one PC =====
+Each running instance of NetVSTHost has one input and one output (both stereo). If you need a more complex arrangement, you can simply run NetVSTHost more than once, making sure to set up each one with a different port number. (You will normally use the same IP address for all of themwhen all are on the same PC.)
+===== Using multiple PCs =====
+===== Using Virtual PCs on a Macintosh =====
+**See next section for a simpler approach.**
+Virtual PC software such as [[http://products/fusion.html|VMWare Fusion]] and [[https://desktop|Parallels Desktop]] allows running an instance of Microsoft Windows as an application program on your Mac. These systems install a virtual local-area network (VLAN) on your Mac, in which each virtual PC, and your Mac itself, appear to have a separate network adapter, all connected by a virtual network hub.
+Each virtual PC program has its own way of setting up VLANs, so you may have to consult your system's documentation to really understand what's going on. With VMWare Fusion, for example, each VLAN will have its own distinct range of IP addresses, of the form "192.168.X.Y" where X and Y are numbers less than 255. All nodes on the network (all virtual PCs plus your Mac) will be assigned the same value of X and different values of Y.
+===== Using NetVSTHost for Macintosh =====
+The new Mac //NetVSTHost// app provides a simpler and cleaner way to run Windows-only VSTs on a Mac.
+Virtualization solutions like [[http://products/fusion.html|VMWare Fusion]] and [[https://desktop|Parallels Desktop]] eat up a lot of RAM and CPU power, because they have to run a full Windows operating system as well as //NetVSTHost.exe//. The Mac version of //NetVSTHost// uses [[https://|Wine]] to implement only a few of the most critical parts of Windows, which is more efficient.
+Some VST plugins might require additional Windows components (DLLs) which are not included in the Mac //NetVSTHost// app bundle, and hence might fail to load, or might not run correctly. In such cases, a full virtualization solution (or using a separate PC) may be your only choice.
+Running //NetVSTHost// on the same Mac as your DAW is //a way// to use Windows-only VST plugins inside a Mac DAW like Logic Pro X, but using a separate Windows PC is //a better way//, for two reasons:
+ - Running under a full Windows installation means your plugins will always work

A second type of complex noun consists of a verb followed by a suffix meaning one who does or thing which does. The English suffix -er (as in builder "one who builds'' or toaster "thing which toasts'') is a rough equivalent. In Klingon, the suffix is -wI'. It occurs, for example, in baHwI' gunner, which consists of the verb baH fire (a torpedo) plus -wI' one who does. Thus, baHwI' is literally "one who fires [a torpedo].'' Similarly, So'wI' cloaking device comes from the verb So' cloak plus -wI' thing which does. So'wI' is a "thing which cloaks.''
A noun formed by adding -wI' to a verb is a regular noun, so it may be used along with another noun to form a compound noun. For example, tIjwI'ghom boarding party comes from tIjwI' boarder plus ghom group; and tIjwI' comes from tIj board plus -wI'.
In reference to inanimate objects, this suffix means "thing which does" (joqwI' thing which flutters) or "thing which is used for" (nanwI' thing which is used to gouge).
In reference to animate beings, this suffix means "one who does" (baHwI' one who fires) or "one who is" (pujwI' one who is weak).
Regarding -lu'wI' —
For poetry (and maybe other literary forms), this sort of thing may occur from time to time, but it's not considered "normal" grammar. This is because the meaning of -lu'wI' (from a Klingon point of view) is odd (but therefore occasionally appropriate for poetry and such).
Leaving -lu' aside for a while...
-wI' is defined as "one who is, one who does, thing which is, thing which does." In all cases, the subject of the verb (to which -wI' is attached) is the doer or the "be-er," the one who performs the action (if it's that kind of verb) or carries or exhibits the characteristic (if it's that other kind of verb). The noun formed by adding -wI' is equivalent to the subject of the verb to which -wI' is attached (as far as meaning goes — not getting into fine points of grammatical description).
yItwI' walker (the subject of yIt is the yItwI')
qIpwI' hitter (the subject of qIp is the qIpwI')
wochwI' tall one (the subject of woch is the wochwI')
When -lu' enters the picture, things change. The subject of a verb with -lu' is "unknown, indefinite, and/or general." Thus, qIplu' is "someone/something hits (someone or something)" or, conventionally but not really literally, "(someone/something) is hit."
So qIplu'wI' would mean something like "indefinite hitter" or "unknown hitter" or "essence of hitter" or some such (if it means anything at all). It doesn't refer to the person (or thing) being hit because a -wI' noun is the perpetrator or instigator of an action (or carrier of a trait), not someone (or something) affected by an action.

Russia Needs to Stop Arresting Human Rights Activists
Bolotnaya 3 RussiaThe 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia are just around the corner. Although the country has made headlines for its treatment of the LGBT community, Russia also hasn’t been kind to those who actively oppose the government. Pussy Riot is a prime example, but the Bolotnaya 3 is another example of Russia arresting people solely for peacefully exercising their freedom of expression.
The Bolotnaya 3 – Vladimir Akimenkov, Artiom Saviolov and Mikhail Kosenko – were three men among tens of thousands that protested the reelection of Vladimir Putin in Moscow’ Bolotnaya Square. The protest started peacefully, but then broke out into localized violence. Over 650 people were detained and 47 others were hospitalized. The three men were among those who were detained.
Akimenkov, Saviolov and Kosenko were released, only to be rearrested a month later for “participating in mass riots.” Police allege that Kosenko and Saviolov used force against them, but eyewitness accounts and video footage contradict these allegations. Despite this, all three men are held without bail and were committed to a psychiatric unit in 2013. Amnesty International considers the three men prisoners of conscience, and need to be released immediately and unconditionally.
Sample Letter
Yurii Yakovlevich Chaika
Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation
Prosecutor General’s Office
Ul. B. Dmitrovka, d. 15a
125993 Moscow GSP-3
Dear Prosecutor General,
I am writing to call for the release of Vladimir Akimenkov, Artiom Saviolov and Mikhail Kosenko. These three men are prisoners of conscience, unjustly detained for peacefully exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly while participating in the Bolotnaya Square protest on May 6, 2012. Video evidence >supports their claims of innocence, and police statements against Akimenkov and Saviolov have changed substantially since the protests.
Furthermore, Mikhail Kosenko has been sentenced to forcible psychiatric treatment and may be deprived of his freedom indefinitely. There is no evidence that he poses a risk to himself or society, nor was he given an independent medical exam to assess his mental health.
I am also concerned that the health of Akimenkov and Saviolov is reportedly deteriorating in detention. Akimenkov, Saviolov and Kosenko all should be immediately and unconditionally released, but while they are detained, I respectfully urge you to guarantee that they receive appropriate medical care.
While I recognize that a considerable amount of violence broke out in Moscow on May 6, it is imperative that Russian authorities uphold all Bolotnaya detainees’ right to a prompt and fair trial, as well as their right to freedom of expression and association. Please drop all charges against those who were peacefully protesting at Bolotnaya Square on May 6, 2012, and release all Bolotnaya Square protestors who present no risk of endangering public security for the duration of their trials.

4 Days Left in the Write-a-Thon: Write for Albert Woodfox
Albert WoodfoxOnly two cases left in our coverage of this year’s Write for Rights, but there are four days left in the annual letter writing marathon. Even if you haven’t been following along or writing a letter on every single case, there is still time to get in one letter. There is still time to use your voice to help someone this year. A good choice for your efforts is Albert Woodfox.
Woodfox was convicted, with two other men, of murdering a prison guard at Louisiana’s Angola prison. Woodfox and one other man, Herman Wallace, were sentenced to life imprisonment for the crime even though there wasn’t any evidence that linked them to the crime. Potentially exculpatory evidence was “lost” by the state, and the authorities bribed the key eyewitness, leaving questions unanswered regarding police protocols and the guilt of Woodfox and Wallace.
Both Wallace and Woodfox have spent over 40 years in solitary confinement. The men spent 23 hours a day isolated in a small cell, four steps long and three steps across. Wallace has his conviction overturned in October 2013, when he was subsequently released. A few days after his release, he died from complications from liver cancer. Woodfox’s conviction has been overturned three times, but state authorities have appealed the decision each time with a ruling in their favor. He remains in solitary confinement, and we want the authorities to release Albert Woodfox immediately and unconditionally.
Sample Letter
Office of the Attorney General
P.O Box 94005
Baton Rouge, LA 70804
Dear Attorney General Caldwell,
Today, 42 years after he was first placed in solitary confinement, only one member of the “Angola 3” remains behind bars. His case is one of the most egregious examples of Louisiana’s use of prolonged solitary confinement in correctional facilities. Today, I am calling on you to act in the name of justice. I urge you to withdraw your appeal against the February 2013 ruling that overturned Albert Woodfox’s conviction so that he can be freed.
The litigation surrounding Albert Woodfox’s case has spanned four decades and includes two flawed trials. His conviction has been overturned once by a state court and twice by a federal court, underscoring concerns about the fairness of the legal process. No physical evidence ties Mr. Woodfox to Officer Miller’s >murder.
Despite all of this, Albert Woodfox has been kept in isolation for decades, in conditions that the United Nations Special Rapporteur on torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment condemns as torture. He has been denied meaningful social contact and access to rehabilitation programs. Such conditions violate minimum international standards for humane treatment and have lasting physical and psychological effects on inmates.
After subjecting Albert Woodfox to cruel and inhuman conditions for decades, despite a flawed conviction, there is only one just and humane action the state can take. Remove Albert Woodfox from solitary confinement, and withdraw the appeal against the US District Court’s ruling. Allow him his freedom.

Political Prisoners are Still Waiting for Release
Eskinger Nega
Eskinger Nega
Last Friday, the Huffington Post wrote an article about 10 political prisoners who are still waiting for their release date. Nelson Mandela waited 27 years to be released from prison, and we don’t want these 10 people to wait in vain. Especially when one of those 10 political prisoners is Eskinder Nega of Ethiopia.
Nega is currently serving an 18-year prison sentence for his work as a journalist. He was charged with terrorism offenses after writing articles and giving speeches critical of the government. Ethiopian authorities routinely use terrorism charges to silence dissenting voices, and we are calling for Nega’s unconditional release as someone who was arrested for peacefully exercising his freedom of expression.
Sample Letter
Hailemariam Desalgn
Prime Minister
P.O. Box 1031
Addis Ababa
Dear Prime Minister,
I am writing to ask you to immediately and unconditionally release Eskinder Nega. Eskinder was detained in 2011 and sentenced to 18 years in prison after publicly calling for government reform and promoting freedom of speech. He was detained solely for peacefully exercising his right to freedom of expression.
I am deeply concerned that your government has consistently used criminal proceedings and the threat of criminal charges to silence critics. Eskinder Nega himself has been arrested several times in the past for legitimately criticizing the Ethiopian government. Tolerance of criticism and opposing viewpoints is an essential part of any free and open society. I urge you to stop the harassment of journalists and other human rights activists, and to ensure the government allows voices of dissent and calls for reform.
I am also concerned that the Ethiopian government has employed the legislative system to restrict freedom of expression. The Anti-Terrorism Proclamation and the Charities and Societies Proclamation unduly restrict the right to freedom of expression and assembly by defining peaceful activities and legitimate criticisms as offenses against the state. I respectfully ask that you amend these laws so that all Ethiopians can exercise their human rights without fear of state retribution.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

Write Holiday Cards in Solidarity
Tomorrow is our last meeting of the year! Since December is a busy month, and are usual letter writing date conflicts with the holidays, we spend the second Tuesday of the month sending holiday cards to prisoners of conscience. We take the fourth Tuesday off. The holiday cards are something we do in solidarity with prisoners of conscience and their families, letting them know that we are thinking about them and working on their behalf. Below are the details of tomorrow’s meeting. Please bring holiday cards (cards without messages of a specific holiday or religion).
Who: Our Amnesty International chapter and those interested in human rights
When: 7 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
How: We’ll provide the paper, pens, and pertinent information on each of the cases. For this meeting, if you can bring holiday cards, then that would be great.
Write a Letter Today for Dhondup Wangchen
Dhondup WangchenTomorrow is our Write-a-Thon event in St. Louis! Please join us from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Schlafly Bottleworks to enjoy good food and drink and to write a few letters. This event is the last major event in 2013 for the chapter, use your voice and take action now before we get too caught up in the holidays. People like Dhondup Wangchen need our help.
Dhondup Wangchen is a Tibetan filmmaker who documented the skepticism Tibetans felt about the promises the Chinese government made regarding greater freedom in the months leading up to the 2008 Summer Olympics. The film, Leaving Fear Behind, also voiced adoration for the Dalai Lama as well as the Tibetans’ criticism for the Chinese authorities in general. Wangchen was detained on suspicion of “illegal journalism,” which is not an offense under Chinese law.
Wangchen was subsequently held without charge for more than a year. Afterward, he was tried in secret and sentenced to six years in prison. Unless we take action now, he won’t be released from prison until December 2014.
Sample Letter
Please copy the Chinese characters for Dhondup Wangchen’s name if you can. Thank you for time and effort.

People’s Republic of China
Your Excellency,
I am writing to ask you to release Tibetan filmmaker Dhondup Wangchen 当知项欠. In 2008 he was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment for “inciting separatism” after a secret trial by Xining City Intermediate Court.
While the reasons for 当知项欠’s arrest are unclear, he was first detained after producing a documentary about the opinions of Tibetans on various matters prior to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Amnesty International considers 当知项 a prisoner of conscience, detained solely for peacefully exercising his right to freedom of expression. I call on you to release 当知项欠 immediately and unconditionally.
In detention 当知项欠 has been tortured and forced to do hard labor; consequently he suffers from a number of serious health issues. While he remains in detention, please insure that 当知项欠 receives all necessary medical attention.
当知项欠’s experience is emblematic of the discrimination and harsh criminal punishment that Tibetans throughout China experience for peacefully expressing their cultural identity. I call on you to respect, protect and fulfill Tibetans’ human right to enjoy their own culture, to practice their religion, and to use their own language.
I also ask you to take effective measures to ensure that all people in China are able to enjoy their rights to freedom of expression, in line with Chinese constitutional guarantees and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which China has declared its intent to ratify in the near future. I thank you for your attention to these concerns and look forward to your reply.
[Your Name]
Write-a-Thon Event Details
Just in case you weren’t yet enticed about joining us.
Who: Our Amnesty International chapter and anyone else who wants to do something good for someone else this holiday season.
What: To write letters on behalf of prisoners of conscience worldwide
When: Saturday, Dec. 7 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Southwest Ave.@ Manchester. Maplewood, MO 63143

Top Five Must-See Shows in Metro Phoenix This Week
banana gun.jpg
Tuesday, December 25: Banana Gun @ Sail Inn
Just as fortunetellers have their little fishing expeditions to crack a sucker's psyche, so, too, rock writers have their shortcuts on deconstructing a band's sound without using the dreaded catch-all phrase "eclectic" (which, in truth, we've already exhausted in this article's headline). Here's the laziest methodology: Just ask the band members how they describe their sound to their prospective employers, club owners, and go from there. A fair question for Banana Gun, a quintet who's stopped for an afternoon drink at the Swizzle Inn before trucking to play an untried venue in Sedona, land of crystals, clairvoyants, clairsentients, and clairaudients. How did they sell Banana Gun to that club owner?
"I told them we're a zydeco/funk/ambient psychedelic jam band," laughs singer/guitarist Kevin Loyd. "Naw, I just tell them we're rock 'n' roll band -- that's probably the easiest explanation. That covers a lot of ground."
Yes, rock 'n' roll, that vague catch-all phrase bands shied away from for years, a phrase meaning anything from Slayer to Leo Sayer. Perhaps the much-abused term has fallen far enough into disuse to be operable again. If so, Banana Gun fits the bill. They cover enough musical terrain on their first full-length, The Elephant in the Room, to give a typical A&R man pause for concern. -- Serene Dominic

Top | The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook
Saigon Hoppin’ John
(recipe, Matt Lee & Ted Lee)
primary-image, l
This recipe is a meatless, Asian-inspired version of the classic hoppin’ John.
1. 1 cup dried black-eyed peas
2. 6 cups vegetable broth
3. 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
4. 1 tsp. ground ginger
5. 2 stalks (4 inches each) fresh lemongrass, 1 bruised and cut into 4 sections, 1 for garnish
6. 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
7. ½ tsp. salt, plus more to taste
8. ½ tsp. sugar
9. ¼ cup finely chopped cilantro
10. Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1. Place the peas in a strainer and wash for 1 minute under cold running water, gently tossing them with your hand or a wooden spoon. Place in a large bowl, cover with fresh water, and soak for at least 4 hours.
2. Bring the broth to a boil in a 4-quart pot. Add the drained peas, reduce the heat to medium-high, and boil gently until the peas are just tender but still have some bite, about 25 minutes.
3. Add the rice, ginger, bruised lemongrass, coconut milk, salt, and sugar, and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently until the rice and peas are tender and the dish has the soupy character of a porridge, about 20 minutes. Stir in the cilantro with a spoon and add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Cut the remaining stalk of lemongrass into 6 sections. Serve the hoppin’ John in bowls, steaming hot, with a piece of fresh lemongrass in each.

The Impact Financial Education Has On Plan Participant Saving and Investing Behavior
By Liz Davidson, founder and CEO of Financial Finesse.
• Are deferral rates increasing?
• Are employees better allocating their assets?
• Are loans and hardship withdrawals declining?
• And of course, the ultimate bottom line: Are employees on track to retire?
Years ago, when more employers had defined benefit plans, stock options, more generous profit sharing and plan matching programs, you could argue that there was little or no need for employees to change their financial behavior in order to reach their retirement goals. Instead, plan sponsors focused on marketing their retirement benefits so employees fully appreciated the value of the benefits, and by extension, their jobs overall.
My, how times have changed. Today, only 31% of employees are offered a traditional pension plan and, for those that work in the private sector, pension payouts typically fund only a portion of their retirement income needs. In a society where the average savings rate is just above 5%, 50% of people don't know the basics about stocks, bonds and mutual funds, and life expectancy for those that reach retirement is 85, employees are at a huge disadvantage when it comes to building adequate retirement savings.
If you consider how unprepared employees are for this newfound responsibility, with 83% admitting they are not on track to meet their retirement goals, it becomes obvious why the standards for retirement communication and education are changing.
It's no longer enough that your employees really like a workshop, say they appreciate the guidance they received from a one-on-one financial planning session, or comment on how "cool" the online retirement planning calculator is. They must actually take action on what they learn or they will not be able to retire. After all, if they can't retire, your company pays the price-estimated at an additional $10,000-$50,000 per employee for every year an employee postpones retirement (mostly health care and higher salaries that more tenured employees earn vs. less tenured employees that would otherwise replace them).
Bottom line-any retirement planning education you roll out to your employees must have a significant and enduring impact on participant behavior in order to be successful. Our research shows that 92% of employees who participate in retirement education make a major change to their retirement plans within 30 days of receiving the education. The most common changes are to increase retirement savings, reallocate their assets to be more appropriate to their time horizon and goals, and open up a Roth or Traditional IRA to supplement their company-sponsored plans.
More significantly, there is a direct correlation between financial education and deferral rates. The more times an employee receives retirement education, the higher the deferral rate.
So, what do companies need to do to get these results and ultimately, avoid a major retirement crisis? The first and most important step is for the investment committee to shift their perspective from solving the problem with traditional retirement plan communication to implementing an ongoing retirement education program that is designed to change behavior.
Below is a table outlining the difference between traditional retirement communication, which informs employees about their retirement plans, and retirement education programs that effect long term behavioral change-the kind of change that is needed in order for employees to effectively prepare for retirement. While this doesn't outline all best practices associated with developing a successful retirement education, it does provide a framework for HR and retirement benefits managers to use as they evaluate different retirement education programs:

At sunset the marsh
speaks a language few hear.
Tonight no river otter ripples
the creek's brackish waters
no fish jumps
not even a marsh hen
fusses from her grassy rooms
but the cold full moon
curls itself on top of the barren pine
like a lemon lollipop
and deep crimson stripes
unfurl in the sky like a flag
like a wide light in the middle of a poem
where nothing speaks
but everything shines.

code is power: Girls Who Code
Most importantly, folks can create the perception that their cause is an idea that’s the right thing at the right time. Victor Hugo observed that there’s nothing so powerful as an idea whose time has come.
Then there’s Ada Lovelace who took notes that contained what’s considered the first computer program — that is, an algorithm encoded for processing by a machine. Anita Borg’s responsible for including women in the tech revolution, and founded the Systers online community in 1987, much before online communities were part of the mainstream. Marissa Mayer was the first female engineer hired at Google and one of their first 20 employees in 1999. (Hey, Marissa, I still use Pine!)
All these folks used tech to build grassroots networks to great effect. They’re what we now call “bloggers.”
Women Who Tech is doing good stuff with women in the tech world. Diversifying the tech sector’s the main inspiration behind the Women Who Tech TeleSummit. The philosophy is: “If we are going to truly create technology and products for the masses, the tech world must be inclusive of all perspectives.” It goes right back to influence and empowerment. @WomenWhoTech created an infographic that shows how women really influence technology.
My own contribution was based on code I wrote between 1995 and 1999, starting with a desire to give back to the community. It’s worked out okay, and has helped maybe a hundred million people, or more, mostly Americans.
My thing, craigslist, was accidental. It ran much better after people helped me understand that as a manager, I suck, and I got someone smarter to run things. I devoted myself to customer service, but I’ll only be doing that as long as I live.
If you want to see someone building code that might drive very large scale influence, consider Stefani Germanotta, and something called Backplane. She already unites tens of millions of people from the grassroots, people who’ve never had a voice or any power, the “little monsters.” Backplane might be the force multiplier that might really work for the disenfranchised.
It’s quite possible that Ms. Germanotta might become one of the most powerful humans on that planet; don’t underestimate her. I like the idea, while I’m no little monster, as a nerd I’m the 1950’s equivalent of one.
You can use platforms like Facebook to exert influence by building a network and getting people to Share your cause via your social network. We’re really talking about your “social graph,” that is, your friends or Subscribers, and then, their friends and Subscribers.
I don’t code anymore, so I’m considering that I should commission the following force multiplier.
If you want to preserve your right to vote, you need to exercise it. It’s “use it or lose it”. Take that literally.
I need an app where:
1. You commit to voting.
2. You’re told what you need to do to prepare to vote.
3. Your commitment is recorded, privately and securely.
5. You’re reminded to vote, by mail or in person, at the right time…
6. …when you do so, that’s recorded.
So, #2 functionality is already available.
#4/5/7 require the code to be mildly annoying, just like me. (Note from
editor: “mildly”?)
Hey, @GirlsWhoCode, looking for a good test case?

Large Maple Spanworm Moth
Large Maple Spanworm Moth - Prochoerodes lineola
I've been photographing moths I find on walls or windows. I've gotten some strange looks. I suppose to a passerby, it does look strange, because they probably don't see the moth, and it looks like I'm taking a close up of just a wall or window. Or maybe they do see the moth and they still think it's strange.

1.3. What do adaptation and climate resilience mean?
Different communities of policymakers, practitioners and scholars use somewhat different terms in relation to describing and reducing the impacts of climate change on the current and future energy system. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) (UN, 1992) as well as EU climate change policy distinguishes two fundamental policy options to limit the risks of climate change for societies: mitigation and adaptation. Box 1.1 provides definitions of these and other relevant terms used in this report from the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (IPCC, 2014a).
comments (0)
Box 1.1 Key terms as defined in the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report
Mitigation (of climate change): any human intervention to reduce the sources or enhance the sinks of greenhouse gases
Adaptation (to climate change): the process of adjustment to actual or expected climate and its effects. In human systems, adaptation seeks to moderate or avoid harm or exploit beneficial opportunities
Hazard: climate-related physical events or trends or their physical impact
Vulnerability: the propensity or predisposition to be adversely affected [by a hazard]. Vulnerability encompasses a variety of concepts and elements including sensitivity or susceptibility to harm and lack of capacity to cope and adapt
Risk: the potential, when the outcome is uncertain, for adverse consequences on lives, livelihoods, health, ecosystems and species, economic, social and cultural assets, services (including environmental services) and infrastructure
Source: (IPCC, 2014a)

A commonly used term in energy policies and practice is ‘resilience’. The International Energy Agency (IEA) defines resilience of the energy sector as ‘the capacity of the energy system or its components to cope with a hazardous event or trend, responding in ways that maintain their essential function, identity and structure while also maintaining the capacity for adaptation, learning and transformation’ resilience’ (IEA, 2015). Resilience integrates robustness, resourcefulness and recovery. Building resilience addresses a wide range of hazards, including extreme weather events, but also geophysical hazards (e.g. earthquakes and tsunamis) and human hazards (e.g. cybersecurity). The term climate resilience is generally used when the focus is on climate-related hazards, including long-term trends. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), ‘climate-resilient infrastructure is designed, built and operated in a way that anticipates, prepares for, and adapts to changing climate conditions […] it can also withstand, respond to, and recover rapidly from disruptions caused by these climate conditions’ (OECD, 2018).
comments (2)
Even though the original concepts and definitions of the terms ‘adaptation’ and ‘resilience’ differ, they are now often used in connection with each other (e.g. EC, 2018r). In this report, the expressions ‘adaptation to (climate change)’ and building or strengthening ‘climate resilience’ are used broadly, and largely interchangeably, for all efforts to address challenges to the energy system related to short-term climate hazards and long-term climate change. Further information on different types of adaptation and on the roles of various actors is provided in Section 4.1.
comments (0)
The EU has adopted an EU Adaptation Strategy, and EU energy policy also includes goals that are relevant for adaptation to climate change, in line with the overall vision of the Energy Union Strategy (see Section 4.2 for further details on relevant EU policies). The goals of adaptation and resilience-building are to ensure a secure and affordable energy supply to all Europeans now and in the future while supporting the clean energy transition and other societal objectives (EC, 2018c). More specifically, adaptation aims to ensure minimal disruption to energy production, transformation, transportation and consumption in the long-term, while also protecting the value of public and private investments in the sector and the interests of society and the economy overall (Boston, 2013). Adaptation of energy systems may also involve minimizing risks to public safety that could originate from energy infrastructure during extreme climate conditions, such as sparking wildfires. Failing to adapt energy systems to climate change could result in severe consequences such as blackouts, which impact significantly on modern economies that are reliant on stable access to energy.
comments (0)
The energy system has strong links with other systems and sectors due to its use of water and land (see Section 2.1.5 for further information on the energy-water-food nexus). Therefore, a sustainable energy supply should minimize conflicts, and exploit synergies, with other relevant policy areas, such as water and flood management, biodiversity protection and agricultural policy. Adaptation actions with substantial negative impacts on other policy goals or societal objectives are often referred to as maladaptation, which should be avoided.

Mickey Thompson murder trial begins
The murder of motorsports legend Mickey Thompson and his wife in 1988 was one of the most brutal crimes to hit the automotive world. Nearly two decades later, prosecutors in Pasadena, CA hope to bring the alleged perpetrator to justice. The trial against Michael Goodwin opened on Monday with claims that two yet-unidentified hitmen fatally shot Trudy Thompson before killing Mickey outside the couple's home.

Did Moses know he was a Hebrew?
During his education he learned somehow that he was a Hebrew, and his sense of concern and curiosity impelled him to visit his people. According to the biblical narrative, Moses lived 120 years and was 80 when he confronted Pharaoh, but there is no indication how old he was when he went to see the Hebrews.
How did this revelation of God change Moses life?
Moses saw and heard God in the burning bush and yet survived. Following his revelation, he reached a higher level of consciousness, which enabled personality changes to occur. From being a simple shepherd of his father-in-law’s flock, he turned into a prophet and charismatic leader of his people.
Does Egyptian history mention Moses?
What kind of person was Moses?
Moses was a gifted, well-trained person, but his true greatness was probably due to his personal experience of and relationship with Yahweh. This former stammering murderer understood his preservation and destiny as coming from the grace of a merciful Lord who had given him another chance.
What was special about Moses?
Moses is the most important Jewish prophet. He’s traditionally credited with writing the Torah and with leading the Israelites out of Egypt and across the Red Sea. In the book of Exodus, he’s born during a time when the Pharaoh of Egypt has ordered every male Hebrew to be drowned.

This motet was composed about 1570 and was originally set for four voices. It transcribes beautifully for brass and could be considered a companion piece for the popular O Magnum Mysterium. The trumpet intones the Gregorian chant melody, followed by a jaunty and insistent triple-meter section, which leads to a drawn-out "Amen.".

Alcoholism, Alcohol Abuse, and Cancer
Alcoholism and alcohol abuse are two conditions that stem from excessive alcohol intake. Technically speaking, alcoholics have an ongoing physical dependence on alcohol, while alcohol abusers have drinking problems that don’t involve physical dependence. Cancer is the general term for cells in the body that grow out of control and damage healthy organs and structures; more than 500,000 people in the US die from some form of this disease each year. Forms of cancer clearly associated with habitual consumption of large amounts of alcohol include cancers of the liver, breast, mouth, esophagus, throat, larynx (voice box), rectum, and colon.
Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse Basics
Excessive alcohol consumption is more or less a given in active cases of alcoholism. However, while alcohol abusers don’t have the same physical compulsion to drink as alcoholics, by definition they also engage in patterns of alcohol use that can harm their health. For example, some alcohol abusers engage in a practice called binge drinking, which involves bouts of excessive alcohol consumption that seriously, if only temporarily, tax normal liver function. Currently, alcohol abuse and alcoholism (alcohol dependence) are classified as separate disorders by the American Psychiatric Association, which issues definitions for diseases that have a substantial impact on mental health. However, in part because of inconsistent application of these terms, the Association will probably group alcoholism and alcohol abuse under a single heading, called alcohol use disorder, when it revises its general guidelines in 2013.
Cancer Basics
Cancer occurs when unusual changes develop in the growth cycles of various cells in the body. Instead of listening to chemical and physical signals to slow down or limit their growth, or end their natural life cycles, these cells continue growing and expand beyond the space they usually occupy. Doctors refer to this uncontrolled cell growth as a malignancy. The vast majority of cells in your body can undergo cancerous changes, and the specific form of cancer present depends upon the type of cell affected, as well as the affected cells’ location inside the body. Specific symptoms of cancer also vary according to the type of cell affected and location of a malignancy. However, symptoms that commonly appear in most forms of the disease include appetite loss, fever, unexplained weight loss, unexplained fatigue, chills, night sweats, and a general feeling of poor health known as malaise.
Alcohol’s Role in Cancer Formation
No one knows exactly how the presence of alcohol increases cancer risks, the American Cancer Society explains. However, several likely mechanisms have been identified. First, alcohol-related damage in certain cells may lead to DNA alterations that trigger the onset of cancer. Alcohol may also act as a supporting agent for cancer-causing components in tobacco smoke or other harmful substances. In addition, alcohol may increase the likelihood of cancer by increasing levels of the hormone called estrogen, or by decreasing normal absorption of an essential vitamin called folate or folic acid (vitamin B9). People who drink heavily also tend to gain weight; in turn, this weight gain can increase a person’s risks for certain types of cancer.
Links to Specific Types of Cancer
Any habitual consumption of alcohol above moderate levels (one drink a day for women; two drinks a day for men) can degrade human health and potentially increase cancer risks. Generally speaking, the more you drink on a regular basis, the higher your risks for specific cancers rise. Some of the clearest links between excessive alcohol intake and cancer occur in cancers that affect parts of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including your mouth, throat, larynx and esophagus. People who drink and smoke simultaneously have higher risks for these cancers than people who only drink or only smoke. Regular drinking can also increase risks for cancers of the colon and anus in the lower GI tract.
Habitual heavy drinking is strongly associated with liver impairment and liver inflammation, which in turn can trigger the onset of liver cancer. Women who drink even moderate amounts of alcohol several times a week can potentially increase their risks for developing breast cancer. Women who drink regularly and have vitamin B9 deficiencies may have even higher risks than other women drinkers.
Some people mistakenly believe that it’s safer to drink large amounts of certain types of alcohol rather than others. For instance, they may believe that heavy wine consumption poses fewer risks than heavy liquor consumption. However, regardless of the beverage under consideration, all alcoholic drinks contain the same key substance, called ethyl alcohol or ethanol. When it comes to cancer risks, the level and frequency of ethyl alcohol consumption are the most important factors, not the particular type of alcoholic beverage you consume.
There is still hope.

The FBI has released secret files of background check it had conducted on the late Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple.
Based on interviews with Jobs' colleagues, the 191-page document shows that the iconic Apple man would tweak the truth and misrepresent reality in order to achieve his goals.
"Mr. Jobs will twist the truth and distort reality in order to achieve his goals," the FBI files noted, as revealed by several people who have worked with him.
The notes were prepared when he was considered for a White House appointment in 1991, during the George H.W. Bush administration.
The revelations include his conversion to Buddhism and early drug use. He has admitted using marijuana and LSD in his biography written by Walter Isaacson. The Apple co-founder was a victim of a bomb threat in 1985, with a $1 million ransom.
The FBI keeps a tab on people if they are in the news or subjected to any particular threat or if the matter is "alive".
Some of the celebrities whom the FBI has trained its secret eye on are late Princess Diana, Anna Nicole Smith, comedians Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, and the list goes on.
Check out the slideshow to find out some of those who were under the FBI gaze:

*Current Season
Former Montpellier captain Yanga-Mbiwa met his new team-mates for the first time today after completing his reported £6.7million move from the French club - with more compatriots set to follow.
Bordeaux striker Yoan Gouffran and Nancy defender Massadio Haidara are both poised to confirm deals, while a fourth French-based player, Moussa Sissoko, has also been strongly linked.
Yanga-Mbiwa, who conceded the club's current contingent of French players had helped him make the decision to move to the north-east, is excited by the prospect of linking up with Gouffran.
The 23-year-old Yanga-Mbiwa guided Montpellier to an unexpected Ligue 1 title last season and is keen to assert his influence to help the Magpies out of their current strife.
Yanga-Mbiwa said: "I will do everything I can to help team spirit and make sure we are acting as one from the first minute until the last.

Missing trace data
You have enabled distributed tracing but data you expected to see does not appear in New Relic's distributed tracing UI.
Before performing troubleshooting, we recommend reading How distributed tracing works.
Here are some causes and solutions when you have problems finding expected data in the distributed tracing UI:
Problems with enabling or instrumenting
Missing spans due to service not having distributed tracing enabled
In order for distributed tracing to report details for all nodes in a trace, each application must be monitored by a New Relic agent that has had distributed tracing enabled.
If an application's New Relic account has not had distributed tracing enabled, it will have these issues:
• Its distributed tracing UI page won't have data.
• It won't report data to other accounts' distributed traces.
Missing apps/services may require manual instrumentation
When you enable distributed tracing for applications and services that New Relic automatically instruments, you'll usually see complete and detailed data for those nodes in the distributed tracing UI.
However, you may notice that some services or applications are missing from traces, or that there are some internal spans you expect to see that are missing. If that's the case, you may want to implement custom instrumentation of applications or specific transactions to see more detail in traces. Some examples of when you may need to do this:
• Transactions not automatically instrumented. To ensure your application is automatically instrumented, read the compatibility and requirements documentation for the New Relic agent you're using. If an application isn't automatically instrumented, or if you'd like to add instrumentation of specific activity, see Custom instrumentation.
• All Go applications. The Go agent, unlike other agents, requires manual instrumentation of your code. For instructions, see Instrument a Go application.
• A service doesn't use HTTP. If a service doesn't communicate via HTTP, the New Relic agent won't send distributed tracing headers. This may be the case for some non-web applications or message queues. To remedy this, use the distributed tracing APIs to instrument either the calling or called application.
Problems with spans
Infinite Tracing: missing spans
If your APM agent can’t write data fast enough to the trace observer, queue_size is an additional APM agent configuration to limit the number of spans the agent will hold. See the following examples for your agent:
.NET configuration method Example
Configuration file
<configuration . . . >
<span_events queue_size="100000" />
Environment variable
Python configuration method Example
Configuration file infinite_tracing.span_queue_size = 100000
Missing span not getting exported
Sometimes header propagation is successful, but the span information isn't getting sent to New Relic. For example, if OpenTelemetry is not instrumented with a New Relic exporter, the span details never make it to New Relic.
In this diagram, notice that the header propagation is successful, but no exporter is set up in Service 2 to send the span to New Relic:
This diagram shows successful propagation but no export of span.
The following diagram also shows successful header propagation, but it includes an exporter in Service 2 that sends the span details to New Relic (see Trace API):
This diagram shows successful propagation and the export from non-New Relic agent.
Missing spans due to sampling process
Standard distributed tracing for APM uses adaptive sampling. This means that a percentage of calls to a service will be reported as part of a distributed trace. Specific calls to your service might not have been selected to be sampled.
Missing spans due to span limits maxed out
There are limits on the number of spans that can be collected and displayed. If an application generates a very large number of spans for a single call, it might exceed the APM agent's span-collection limit for that harvest cycle. This could result in missing spans and significantly limit the number of traces the agent can completely sample and report.
We currently only show 10,000 spans at a time.
Missing spans due to spans being sent late
Spans must be sent within the last twenty minutes to be captured in a trace index. If you send any spans older than twenty minutes but newer than a day, the span data will still be written. However, it won't be rolled into the trace index, which controls the trace list in the distributed tracing UI.
If a span has a timestamp older than a day, it will be dropped. This often occurs when there is clock skew (timing differences) between systems or long running background jobs.
Problems with trace details
Middleware doesn't recognize proprietary New Relic header
If your transactions are only sending the proprietary New Relic header, some middleware might not recognize the format and then drop the information as shown in this diagram:
Diagram of a failed trace with proprietary headers.
One solution is to upgrade your New Relic agent to a version that supports W3C trace context. In the diagram below, the W3C-compliant New Relic agent passes the prior header along with two standardized headers:
Diagram showing a successful trace with W3C-compliant middleware.
An intermediary is missing or isn't passing trace context
Some potential problems with proxies and other intermediaries:
• Incomplete trace. Some intermediaries won't automatically propagate the distributed tracing header. In that case, you must configure that component to allow the header to be passed from source to destination. For instructions, consult the documentation for that intermediary component.
• Missing intermediary in trace. If the intermediary is New Relic-monitored, ensure that it propagates the newrelic header that is generated or updated by the New Relic agent running on that intermediary. This may manifest when an intermediary was previously visible in traces, but disappeared after distributed tracing was enabled for an upstream entity (for example, a Browser-monitored application).
If some entities report trace data to another tracing system, you can use the trace ID from the New Relic UI to search other tracing systems for missing spans.
Stitching together spans from mixed sources
If each agent in a chain supports W3C Trace Context, then we can stitch the spans together into a complete trace. If part of the chain is from an agent, such as Zipkin, which doesn't support W3C Trace Context, then spans coming from that agent may not be included in the trace.
Trace details are obfuscated
If a trace contains data from applications monitored by multiple New Relic accounts, and your user permissions don't allow you to access those accounts, some of the span and service details will be obfuscated in the UI.
For example, you may see a series of asterisks (*****) instead of the service name in your distributed tracing list if you don't have access to the account linked with the service.
Trace list information and trace details don't match
The trace list is generated by trace indexes, which are captured in a twenty minute window from when the first spans are received.
Usually, this is due to late spans.
Long traces with short backend times
If you're seeing unusually short backend times for long traces, this is likely an issue with the timestamps being sent.
For example, the root span might be reposting microseconds as milliseconds. This can also happen if the root span is a browser application. When using an external client like a web browser, you may experience clock skew (timing differences) more often.
Problems with browser applications
Missing spans and transactions after enabling for a browser application
Older versions of some APM agents are incompatible with distributed tracing for browser applications. If the browser application makes an AJAX request to an APM application running an incompatible agent, then the APM agent may not record transaction and span data for that request.
If distributed tracing is enabled for a browser application and you are not seeing transaction or span data for downstream APM requests, review the Browser data in distributed tracing requirements, and confirm that all applications are running supported versions of the APM agent.
Not seeing browser app end-user spans
If traces seem to be missing end-user spans, be sure you've read and understand the Browser distributed tracing requirements and enable procedures.
On the New Relic Browser AJAX UI page, there are links to the distributed tracing UI regardless of whether there are end-user spans present in that trace. For details about what data generates spans, see Requirements.
Browser spans are not connected to other spans
Older versions of some APM agents are incompatible with distributed tracing for browser applications. If APM spans are missing consistently from traces that include browser applications, please refer to the Browser data in distributed tracing requirements and confirm that all applications are running supported versions of the APM agent.
For other causes of orphaned browser spans, see Browser span reporting.
Other problems
Search by entity.name not finding associated app names
Potential cause: For applications that have multiple app names, the entity.name attribute will be associated only with the primary app name. To search by other app names, search using the appName attribute.
Supporting OpenTelemetry
Questions about integrating with OpenTelemetry should be taken to the Explorers Hub.

Lady boy dating
29-Feb-2020 20:52
Men usually have larger shoulders and feet than women and inasmuch as gender reassignment surgery takes care of the facial appearance, little or nothing is usually done to get rid of the broad shoulders and big feet.
* This may be hard to pull off but if you can get a hold of her ID card, you will certainly be able to tell if she is a Thai Ladyboy or not because ID card will always bear the birth gender irrespective of how much you have transformed.
* Thai Ladyboy is usually very tall beyond what can be perceived as the average for females.

However, a Thai Ladyboy is usually too self-cautious.
Why western men prefer Thai Ladyboy to females Obviously, Thai Ladyboy understands what men want more than females because they have been men before – a female would only guess.

ACLU, Outrage Fill in the Silence at Black Hat RFID Session
Opinion: It's a shame when the only companies free to speak in the security world are those with legal teams big enough to fight possible patent litigation.
After receiving a letter threatening possible patent litigation that caused IOActive to cancel his Feb. 28 Black Hat briefing, IOActive R&D director Chris Paget did give his Hacking RFID talk after all.
Sort of.
With the ACLU on hand.
In a briefing with all references to radio-frequency identification card maker HID expunged, and with attendees lugging manuals that were lighter after having the associated materials gouged from their middles, Paget delivered the first half of his planned presentation.
He stopped when he got to the point in his slideshow that had originally listed specs of "a particular RFID tag implementation."
"It was only technical information [including] frequency and number of bits in the code," he told the audience. "HID did request that we refrain from singling them out as a particularly bad RFID vendor. … So were not doing that; we removed the material titled mechanism of operation."
In fact, the information from that slide was identical to any type of RFID tag, not just to HID, Paget said.
Could IOActive have sent over its presentation materials to prove that they in fact did not contain HIDs schematic, as the company feared?
Yes, it could have. If it didnt have good legal counsel, Paget said.
Paget said that the letter from HID went something like this:
"The following are not proper subjects for your presentation this week and in future public demonstrations," the letter read. The letter went on to refer to any materials that might teach someone "not skilled in the art" how to build a device that infringes on HIDs patents, Paget said.
"To a layman, something like this seems relatively reasonable," Paget said. However, any patent attorney will recognize that the term "skilled in the art" has a very specific meaning. Essentially, someone "skilled in the art" refers to one who is able to rebuild the content of HIDs patent application.
Therefore, IOActive was prohibited from teaching the security community anything covered by HIDs patent. "The translation to real English: We cannot paraphrase something from HIDs patent in order to explain it to someone who doesnt already understand it," Paget said.
HIDs letter continued, saying that the company would have "no recourse but to pursue all available remedies against [Paget] and IOActive."
Frantic negotiations ensued, beginning Feb. 22 or 23, after IOActive had received the letter and had a chance to run it by legal counsel. When considering whether to show HID the presentation materials, IOActive requested that HID provide "a covenant not to sue."
"What, forever and ever?" said HIDs Mike Davis, with an air of disbelief after Pagets presentation, talking to the press who huddled around him, digital recorders blinking away in spite of his demand that they be turned off. Davis is director of technology, Intellectual Property, at HID Global.
"We unfortunately cannot risk a talk in this environment," Paget said.
What are the financial realities behind Pagets reference to taking a "risk"?
In a talk with IOActives Joshua Pennell after the briefing, he told me that just to go in and investigate whether theres any possibility that IOActive infringed on HIDs patent would have cost $30,000 in legal fees right out of the gate. If the situation ever reached litigation, going into court would cost between $150,000 and $1 million.
Just to reiterate, just to make sure we all understand exactly what this means to anybody who wants to share vulnerability information with security professionals, even if that information was published in a white paper two years ago (as IOActives material was) and is available online in multiple sources: Even if completely innocent, a small company or individual security researcher can be forced into silence by the mere threat of copyright infringement.
The presentation material in question relates to the security of RFID, a technology that the ACLU proved years ago could be subverted easily by pass-by readers. And understand one other thing: The only reason that IOActive planned to use HID technology as a (very generally outlined) example is that IOActive shares a building with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and was curious to know just how good that buildings security was.
Next Page: ACLU has cause for concern.

Top 5 Posts All Time
Saturday, November 23, 2013
It's been a while since my last post, and in that time I've hooked up with a few girls, but have been mostly focusing on my career and personal growth. I am writing this post to point out some trends I've noticed in my friends.
That trend is complacency.
Since waking up to how the world works, I notice things differently, especially in regards to self improvement. Let me begin with fitness. I have been diligently tracking calories, and keeping a lot of my strength training, since I started in 2011. I now have several years of daily logs documenting what I've eaten, and what I've lifted. It's no effort anymore; it's just habit.
Throughout this time period, several of my friends have noticed the transition under which my body has gone. They have asked what I've done to achieve these results. I tell them it's very simple. I use a simple app (MyFitnessPal specifically) and a simple strength training program (Stronglifts 5x5). There's nothing more complicated than that. Consistency (dedication) is all that it takes.
So at different times over these past few years, some of my friends have tried these two programs for their own self improvement. The results are as I expected. They felt great, and saw results for the first 6 weeks. They noticed changes in their body, and their mood and self confidence improved. Then every single one stopped after around the 6 week mark.
They reverted to their old, complacent habits. They made excuses how it wasn't worth tracking calories, or they avoided conversations regarding fitness, or they said they'd rather just do what they wanted in the gym. It was all about being happier, right? And if moseying around made them happier, why not?
Today another one bit the dust. He tried working out with me for a few months, but today said that it wasn't worth it for him. He still wants to go to the gym as frequently, but he just doesn't want to try to improve his strength by lifting more. That simply screams that his apathy was worth more to him than actual self improvement. He wants to still go to the gym so he can rationalize to himself that he's making an effort and sleep comfortably at night, but doesn't actually want to put the work in.
Fitness is an easy one, though, and I've noticed this trait with other aspects of life. Another such example is career. Several of my coworkers have complained about the current work environment in which we operate. I do join them in voicing my complaints, because I agree with them.
But I have quit and decided to go out on my own because it wasn't worth it to me. Some of them have talked (and talked and talked...) about quitting, or looking for another job. They were even ready to pull the trigger with another job lined up. But at the end of the day, they decided it wasn't worth the risk. They preferred to stay complacent in their current job.
Note that none of these people to whom I am referring have dependents, so throw that excuse out the window.
But what they do have is comfort in their current position.
Talk is cheap. It's easy to talk about doing something, but at the end of the day, it's actually rare to overcome your complacency.
A side effect of this, however, is how people are now treating me when they realize I am talking less and less, and actually doing all the things I state. It's subtle jealousy. They will talk about how improved I am from the gym, but try to shame me into saying how much time I must spend to achieve that look.
The ones who have joined me in the gym in the past avert their eyes. The ones who have decided to stay in their comfortable jobs try to tell me what I should do with my life. And it's not altruistic advice, which which I would have no problem. It's more trying to convince me to take a safer route.
Because by me taking a risky other job and leaving a toxic environment to strike out on my own, they would have to really do some introspection and think about their own choices. And that's too difficult. It's easier to protect their egos by doling out unsolicited advice.
The worst is in regards to relationships. My male friends in submissive relationships keep rationalizing their reasons for not ending the relationships. The real reason, despite whatever they may say, is because they are comfortable, and it's easier to complain than to take any action. Making a bold move such as breaking up with somebody and having to be single for a while is scary, even though it may be healthiest in the long run (even for people who build and define their lives with LTR's).
But when the conversations turn to me, and they see me happy, it bothers them inside. Again, it's easier to tell me why I am (should be?) unhappy, and how "there are plenty of fish in the sea" than to think about their own choices. I am certainly not unhappy, have made no claims as such, and have never claimed I am looking to catch a fish anyway. I actually think part of them is jealous of my freedom and happiness, but it's easier to fit me into their worldview than to consider alternatives.
The overall trend is complacency in their own lives. The fear of leaving their comfort zone and taking control of their own lives. Such is the allure of the comfortable blanket which is the life society has carved for them. To each his own.
1. It's pointless to worry about other people because you cannot save them from their bad decisions. At some point, you lose compatibility with old "friends" when your paths are no longer aligned. The only answer is to create your own lane and stay focused within it. It can be frustrating when you possess these gems of knowledge, yet others refuse to adopt them. There are many people who are too set in their ways to ever accept the red pill.
Let the results speak for themselves...
2. I agree.
Worry, no. Pity, maybe.
"The only answer is to create your own lane and stay focused within it."
That really does seem to be the only way. I will drive and let the results speak for themselves, and if somebody has the motivation to follow, I will happily let them join in my endeavors.
I have a bad habit of trying to convince others which I am working on. Actions speak louder than words, and I think I should only discuss this stuff if people ask. I suppose they have to seek out the knowledge.
I will drop little gems in conversations as bait because some of my friends may never have considered these things, but I have to prevent myself from trying to force them to change.

UK firms critical to public health protected from foreign takeovers
Legislation protects those needed in future pandemics who may be struggling now

The new powers cover firms such as pharmaceutical and technology companies.
“These powers will send an important signal to those seeking to take advantage of those struggling as a result of the pandemic that the government is prepared to act where necessary to protect our national security,” said Alok Sharma, the secretary of state for business, energy and industrial strategy.
“I am changing the law to protect those important businesses being taken over by opportunistic investors.”
The government already has the power to investigate takeovers for reasons such as national security and on financial grounds, including the ability to block a takeover or seek assurances from a buyer about plans for a business.
The changes to the Enterprise Act 2002 mean the government could take action if a business that is crucial to responding to a pandemic, such as manufacturing personal protective equipment or virus tests, is the target of a takeover by a foreign firm.
The legislation also expands the government’s ability to investigate takeovers involving companies in the technology sector, such as artificial intelligence and encryption.
“Some potential takeovers or mergers in these areas currently fall outside of the government’s powers for intervention, because the companies are often new, and relatively small,” Sharma said.
“I am introducing a new law to lower the threshold for intervention on turnover and share of supply for these areas to give the government the oversight it needs. This bill will ensure parties cannot avoid the scrutiny of the law by acquiring an asset that could have national security implications.”
Currently, the government can intervene only if a business that is the subject of a takeover has a UK turnover of more than £1m.
Last month, Boris Johnson indicated during prime minister’s questions that new measures were to be introduced, saying that the UK needed to “protect our technological base”.
He said MPs were “right to be concerned about investment and … about the buying up of UK technology now by countries that may have ulterior motives”.
The government is yet to stop a deal based on national security grounds but it has imposed conditions on buyers.
The legislation brings the UK in step with countries including France, Germany, Italy and Spain, whose governments have more strict control over potential takeovers.
“The UK is open for investment but not for exploitation,” Sharma said, adding that the financial impact of the pandemic “may mean that some businesses are more susceptible to takeovers”.
In April the EU announced plans to help block foreign takeovers of firms struggling because of the economic impact of Covid-19. Potential measures include governments investing, and taking a stake, in “weak” companies.
The European commission called the proposals “measures of last resort” and is consulting member states.

If You Think Vice President Pence is Bad, Have You Considered Henry VIII?
If You Think Vice President Pence is Bad, Have You Considered Henry VIII? June 15, 2018
Mike Pence is a follower of the Billy Graham Rule, the one where a married man does not meat meet alone with a woman other than his wife. Some have objected to that rule, but if Harvie Weinstein had followed it he might not have had to write a check for $1 million to the bail bondsman. But because the VPOTUS works for a man who apparently never followed the Graham Rule, Pence is a politician whom the Southern Baptists should not have invited to speak at their annual convention.
Henry VIII, in contrast, was a man who went through six wives as he established himself, not Christ, as the head of the Church of England. Here is one description of his second wife, the one whose marriage made a new church necessary (with her royal husband as head):
Anne Boleyn was born in 1501. At the age of fourteen she was sent with her sister, Mary, to the French court as a maid to Queen Claude.
She returned to England in 1522 and attracted many admirers. Her sister, Mary managed to attract the King’s attention and became his mistress.
In 1526 Henry asked Anne to become his mistress, but she refused because he was a married man. Henry was determined to win Anne Boleyn and became determined to divorce Catherine and marry Anne.
The couple eventually secretly married in 1533 after Anne became pregnant. The King’s second marriage was not popular. Many people believed that Anne was a witch and had cast a spell on Henry.
When the baby was born in September 1533 Henry was cross that the baby was a girl. She was called Elizabeth.
Henry and Anne began arguing. Although Anne became pregnant twice more each time the babies were stillborn.
Henry was by now tired of Anne and wanted rid of her. He had no intention of waiting for a divorce so his ministers invented evidence showing that Anne had been unfaithful and had plotted the death of the King.
She was found guilty and was executed in May 1536.
That account, which includes not the best treatment of women, is hardly one that you would expect to read about the founder of a Christian communion. Martin Luther, John Wesley, and Roger Williams do not come to mind.
And yet, if you compare reactions to the VPOTUS’s speech before the SBC to the reception of Michael Curry’s sermon for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding, you see at best borderline ambivalence (borderline disgust) and overwhelming support respectively.
For instance, Chris Gehrz made this plausible point about Pence’s speech:
None of this is particular to Christians, Southern Baptist or otherwise. But rather than making ourselves pawns of any party or politicians, we must act as responsible citizens of a religiously plural democracy that separates church and state, taking care “to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world” (1 Pet 2:12, NLT).
In contrast, John Fea spoke for many evangelical historians when he posted this about Bishop Curry’s sermon:
I get it, a major difference separates the two occasions — a politician speaking to ministers (Pence) vs. a Bishop preaching to royalty.
But hard to fathom is that observers of both events were quick to spot the flaws in Pence’s appearance before the SBC but not even bring up the sordid relationship between politicians and ministers in England. Imagine if Tommie Kidd had written something like this about the Church of England and the larger Anglican communion:
Shouldn’t the people who praised Michael Curry’s sermon also ask if the Church of England should continue to affiliate with a kingdom that had monarch’s like Henry VIII (who also created the CofE, oh, by the way)? Doesn’t the Anglican communion also have an image problem in addition to its messy ties to the English government? Hasn’t the “political muddying of the gospel message” in the Church of England gone on much longer and much deeper than the 2018 SBC Convention?
So where was the commentary about the dangers of mixing church and state back when Harry married Meghan?
"Paul promises to save anyone who believes in the gospels - in Acts he is ..."

"Why don't you water all infants anymore, like you used to. Since God might call ..."

Stretching Exercises for Sedentary People
Stretching Exercises for Sedentary People
A sedentary lifestyle can wreak havoc with your health. Sitting behind a desk for hours every day can trigger weight gain, muscle tension and imbalances, poor posture and pain. A regular exercise routine can keep you at a healthy weight, and frequent stretching throughout the day will improve your flexibility and reduce the negatives associated with a sedentary life.
Upper Body Stretches
Sitting and staring at a computer screen for hours at a time can strain your neck and round your shoulders and upper back. Targeted stretches can offer relief. Tilting your head forward and to each side and holding each stretch about 20 seconds can ease neck tension; interlacing your fingers behind your head and pulling your shoulder blades together can stretch your upper back. Shoulder shrugs -- pulling your shoulders up toward your ears for five seconds at a time -- can sooth neck and shoulder tension.
Lower Body Stretches
The muscles in your lower body, including your hip flexors and hamstrings, can tighten and shorten from inactivity, resulting in weak glutes and an increased risk of injuries. To stretch your hamstrings, grasp one knee with your hands while you're sitting down and pull it up toward your chest. Hold this for 20 seconds before switching sides. To stretch your hips and also get a nice lower back stretch, cross one leg over the other and twist your upper body in the opposite direction of your lower body. Push with your hand against your upper thigh to emphasize the stretch for 15 seconds before switching sides.
Arm, Hand and Facial Stretches
Your arms, hands and face can get tired and tense from repetitive motions, such as typing or staring at a computer screen. Straightening and separating your fingers as much as you can for 10 seconds can offer relief, as can interlacing your fingers and extending your arms forward or overhead for 10 seconds at a time with your palms separated and facing away from your body. To relax your eyes and face, open your mouth and eyes as wide as you can for five to 10 seconds at a time before releasing the tension.
Never do stretches to the point at which you experience pain. You should feel only a slight tension as you stretch, and the aftermath should be pleasant. Repeat each stretch two to three times and try stretching a little deeper with each consecutive stretch. Avoid holding your breath when you stretch; take slow, deep breaths and focus on the area you are stretching. If you have a health condition or injury, see your doctor before starting a regular stretching regimen.

Boston Marathon runners Joey McIntyre, Ethan Zohn send prayers following explosions
Alex Trautwig
Joe McIntyre of the New Kids on the Block had just finished the Boston Marathon on Monday, just minutes before the explosions hit. The Boston native tweeted: "There was an explosion by the finish line about 5 minutes after I finished- I'm ok but I'm sure there are many hurt."
"Survivor" winner Ethan Zohn, who also took part in the Boston marathon tweeted: "I'm OK. Most importantly, praying for those injured and affected by this. Still don't have a lot of info. Thanks for your love and concern."
He's just one of the stars sending prayers to runners and others in the area. See how others, including NKOTB member Donnie Wahlberg, are responding to the blasts, which occurred Monday afternoon.

"Le Kiosque" d'Alexandra Pianelli
January 25 | 20:00
Filmvorstellung des Ciné-Club vom Centre Marc Bloch zusammen mit dem Sputnik Kino.
Fim: Le Kiosque von Alexandra Pianelli
Filmdauer: 76 Minuten
Originalversion mit englischen Untertiteln
Anschließende Diskussion mit der Regisseurin
Synopsis: "The Kiosk" is a humorous video diary shot by visual artist Alexandra Pianelli, on her Smartphone. Stories unravel from the newsstand in a chic Paris neighbourhood, meanwhile the printed press is in crisis and her childhood fantasy of keeping shop turns out to be a little more complicated than she expected…
Biographie der Regisseurin:
Alexandra Pianelli is graduate of the School of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg. The subjects of her focused, small-scale documentaries are her own day jobs; through her movies, she expresses her interest in the notions of work and play while also earning a living. She compares her working process with a Swiss army knife, approaching her projects head on with versatility and resilience. Her DIY style creates stories that bring viewers straight inside the messy moments constituting life in the real world. The Kiosk zooms into her mother's small newspaper stand, in which Pianelli works. Shot from a head-mounted camera, the film welcomes the viewer inside the humble Paris shop to find companionship with the regulars who continue to support print news in an increasingly digital era.

This Pandemic Has Taken a Toll On My Psoriatic Disease
2020 has felt like a 20-year stint of prison.
Back in March, when the pandemic first began, my job quickly decided that we would be working from home indefinitely. In my mind, I had this false perception that being at home more would allow me to now have additional time to complete my goals, work, do advocacy, focus more on my self-care, and enjoy a break from society.
Since starting a full-time job two years ago, my advocacy took a back seat, and I wasn't writing and engaged in the community as much as I had been in the past. I thought more time at home would mean more time to do the things I had placed on the backburner. Oddly, it was the exact opposite.
Feeling lost in isolation
Surprisedly, I haven't felt the gutwrenching feelings of depression, the kind that have you sitting in the room unable to move due to the deep overwhelming sadness you feel. So, for the most part, emotionally, I have been okay. However, it's been tough to feel motivated to do anything "extra," the extra being anything outside of work.
I feel like a part of me was lost during this pandemic. The fire I once had was, in some way, extinguished. The thrill I once had to go over and beyond was lost in the 6 months of being confined to my 1,200 square foot apartment, where I stayed in my room most of the time, staring at the same four walls, hardly ever having a change of scenery unless it was the grocery store. I recently moved into a new home, which has helped alleviate some of my feelings from being cramped in my apartment.
Psoriasis self-compassion
For a while, I was beating myself up over it. I felt bad that the drive I once had seemed to have stalled. But then I showed myself self-compassion. These are unique and challenging times we are living in. Then I remember something I read from The Four Agreements, a book about personal freedom.
One of the agreements is "Always Do Your Best." The author discusses how "your best" will look different depending on your current state in life in the book. For example, when I'm healthy, I can work out with no issues. However, if I'm having a psoriasis flare or joint pain, my ability to exercises changes, I might have to modify my workout or not do it at all.
I've had to remember to apply that same concept to myself during this pandemic. I've had to show myself self-compassion when I desired to do something but didn't have the energy to do so because, under these current circumstances, we are all just trying to make it.
What we need from the world around us
Psoriasis can already be an isolating disease, and although I've been able to break the shell of confinement in recent years, this moment in time brought back those old memories of sometimes feeling alone and secluded from the world. It brought back memories of the need to connect but being unable to do so.
This pandemic has been a tangible experience of what goes on for many of us living with psoriasis. That desire to not be alone, but unable to gain what we need from the world around us.
Finding a new normal
Some would say social media or zoom has eliminated some of the sufferings of not connecting with others. Although online relationships are better than nothing, it doesn't replace that in-person connection I had before the pandemic. I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced these sentiments. This isn't a post that has 12 tips or a silver lining.
I think my purpose in writing this is to tell you that you are not alone if you are feeling the same way. Honestly, writing this has given me a small burst of serotonin that I needed and reminds me of the "Alisha" I was before the pandemic. Although my current feelings aren't as bad as March-June, I'm finding a new normal, and slowing finding the motivation to get back to my regular life.

Dictyostelium: a cellular slime mold
Microscopic view of Dictyostelium discoideum
Different stages of Dictyostelium: A ‘slug’ (out of focus in the background) and multiple developing sporocarps.
Dictyostelium is a ‘cellular slime mold’, (to most) a very unfamiliar organism but one that has proved to be useful as a ‘model organism’ to study significant biological processes, in particular, development. It has a multicellular stage that develops not as a result of a cell dividing repeatedly, producing daughter cells all stuck together. Instead multicellularity is the result of the aggregation of many individual cells. In addition to its use as a model organism, studying Dictyostelium offers an excellent opportunity to see life from a different perspective, appreciating that although all life is fundamentally the same it sometimes operates in very different manners.
Phylogeny and taxonomy
Since they are heterotrophic, mobile and (generally) unicellular cellular slime molds used to be considered ‘protozoa’. Other early treatments put them with fungi because they produce fruiting bodies and spores. Like a number of other ‘misfit’ groups, the cellular slime molds have been placed in the Protist kingdom, a heterogenous assemblage of eukaryotes that do not readily group with animals, plants or fungi. While certain aspects of their life-cycle are unique, their amoeboid-like stages aligns them with amoebae, that look similar but are always single celled and never coalescing into a multicellular entity. Another relatively close group are the plasmodial slime molds (see Physarum) and some put these three groups (amoebae, cellular slime molds, plasmodial slime molds) together in a group called the Amoebozoa, and the Amoebozoa, along with Choanoflagellates, Fungi and Animals can be united in a group called the Unikonts.
Dictyostelium is eukaryotic and typically exists as ‘amoeboid’ cells that are small (typically ~ 5 um in length) , without a cell wall, and capable of ingesting material by phagocytosis. Their normal food is bacteria. Peculiar to the group is the developmental ability of individual cells to come together to form a multicellular entity. Consequently Dictyostelium also exists as a multicellular form produced when cells aggregate into a ‘slug’ ~ 1 mm long. The slug is briefly mobile and then trans forms into an immobile vertical structure up to one cm tall with a round spore producing capsule at its top.
Labeled drawing of multicellular development, with a section also showing unicelluar growth. Beginning with unicellular growth: spore, germination, amoeba, vegetative growth, starvation. Multicellular development: aggegration, loose aggegrate, tight aggegrate, finger, slug, culmination, fruiting body with the stalk on the bottom and spores above.
The individual amoeboid cells reproduce asexually by mitosis, but this is only part of the life cycle. The multicellular entity also reproduces asexually: slug — >fruiting body — >spores —— >more amoebae — > more slugs. Dictyostelium is capable of a sexual process but does so only rarely, when two amoeboid cells fuse to form a single diploid cell, form ing a structure called a macrocyst. Inside the macrocyst meiosis occurs, followed by mitosis and eventually haploid amoeboid cells are released.
Dictyostelium colony in process of aggregation
The aggregation stage of Dictyostelium. In response to a chemical signal individual cells stream to a gathering point. The ‘dots’ are individual cells, the ‘arms’ are where the the cells have aggregated. They continue their movement to the central structure that develops into an slug.
Matter and Energy
Dictyostelium is a predatory heterotroph, capturing (by phagocytosis) other living organisms (primarily bacteria) and using their biomolecules both as a source of energy (oxidizing them in cellular respiration) and also reconfiguring them into biomolecules of Dictyostelium.
One of the interesting interactions involving Dictyostelium is its ‘farming’ behavior, an ability to produce spores that contain the bacteria that it feeds upon. The dispersal of such spores makes it more likely that Dictyostelium will have something to eat after dispersal (see link below).

6 Survival Myths That Can Actually Hurt You
6 Survival Myths That Can Actually Hurt You
Okay, first of all, it doesn’t matter how many episodes of Man vs Wild you watch, you are not the next Bear Grylls.
Watching the Discovery channel does not make you a survivalist any more than watching Deadliest Catch makes you a better fisherman. But if any of us ever get stuck for real out in the wild, hopefully we’ll at least know this much: these six survival myths may actually hurt you, not save you.
Myth: You Can Always Find Water
No, you can’t. The myth about it being okay to drink water if it’s running downstream is just that: a myth. You should boil your water for at least three minutes, unless you have iodine tablets, and sometimes use both. You can eat snow, but melt it first or you expend too much energy warming it up internally.
If you’re lost in the desert, your plan to drink from a cactus plant is drying up right before your eyes. The fishhook barrel cactus, one of five kinds of barrel cactus, is the only one you can drink safely from. The others have toxins that may overtax your organs and actually heat you up more.
As a last resort, drinking your urine, while disgusting as heck, also isn’t very good for you. You can do it once if you must, but otherwise, just like bad cactus juice, it taxes your system to process and may overheat you more.
Myth: Sucking Venom out of a Rattlesnake Bite
We all have a favorite rattlesnake bite joke, or at least I do, but can’t repeat it here. In reality, rattlesnake bites are no joke; people do die from them. Sucking out the venom, either by mouth or with any device, does more harm than good. Applying tourniquets, ice or compression wraps are harmful as well. The best course of action is to wash the wound site, cover it and get to a hospital as soon as possible. You should encourage the victim to not exert too much energy as that will spread the venom faster. If you can get help to them quickly, do it. Time is of the essence here.
Myth: Playing Dead vs. Running Away From a Bear
What do you do when a bear comes running at you? Playing dead works sometimes, but deciding when is the trick. Grizzly Bears attacking because they feel threatened may back off if you play dead, but when they say, “playing dead," they don’t mean acting out a Shakespearean death scene. They mean to roll up into a fetal position to better protect your vital organs in case Yogi decides to play with you.
Now if it’s a Black Bear running toward you, he may be into acting too, and it could be a bluff charge. In that case, making yourself big and making noise may deter the attack; just make sure you know what kind of bear you’re dealing with. Running away probably won’t work, even if you’re Usain Bolt. Bears are surprisingly fast, they can climb trees, and the old bit about bears not being able to run downhill is not a gamble I suggest you take.
Myth: Candy Bars in Your Backpack
I always stash a Snickers in my pack when skiing, but that is just in case I have the munchies on the chairlift. Relying on a candy bar to sustain me in the wild is about as funny as those Snickers commercials. Food really isn’t the problem when lost, as we can survive for an amazing amount of time without it. Water, or the lack thereof, is the problem. Hopefully you have a hydration pack with you and then, between that and the Snickers bar, we just might make it back to the lodge.
Myth: Moss Always Grows on the North Side
Moss will grow anywhere the conditions are right. It can grow north, south, east or west if it is moist and in the shade. I never understood how this could become such a myth as I’ve seen moss growing everywhere. A more reliable way to tell direction is, of course, the sun. Unless something goes horribly wrong, the sun will always rise in the east and set in the west. I guess you’re in trouble if you’re at the North or South Pole, but I guarantee you’re not going to find any moss there either.
Myth: Stand Under a Doorway in an Earthquake
Boy they sure don’t make them like they used to: doorways that is, not earthquakes. This wasn’t a myth in the old days when they made things better, but nowadays I’m not so sure. Just like old guys who use the word, “nowadays," doorways aren’t as tough as they used to be. Now the advice is to hide under a desk or table if you have one strong enough. Some folks preach that angles can save you, such as a table lying at an angle over a higher object. Most injuries occur from falling buildings and objects that come from them so if you are out in the open, you’re probably okay.

A guide to managing system load with ZoneMinder

A guide to managing system load with ZoneMinder
(Written with IP Cameras in mind)
Zoneminder is a superb application in every way, but it does a job that needs a lot of horsepower especially when using multiple IP cameras. IP Cams require an extra level of processing to analogue cards as the jpg or mjpeg images need to be decoded before analysing. This needs grunt. If you have lots of cameras, you need lots of grunt.
Why do ZM need so much grunt?
Think what Zoneminder is actually doing. In modect mode ZM is:
1. Fetching a jpeg from the camera. (Either in single part or multipart stream)
2. Decoding the jpeg image.
3. Comparing the zoned selections to the previous image or images and applying rules.
4. If in alarm state, writing that image to the disk and updating the mysql database.
If you're capturing at five frames per second, the above is repeated five times every second, multiplied by the number of cameras. Decoding the images is what takes the real power from the processor and this is the main reason why analogue cameras which present an image ready-decoded in memory take less work.
How do I know if my computer is overloaded?
If your CPU is running at 100% all the time, it's probably overloaded (or running at exact optimisation). If the load is consistently high (over 10.0 for a single processor) then Bad Things happen - like lost frames, unrecorded events etc. Occasional peaks are fine, normal and nothing to worry about.
Zoneminder runs on Linux, Linux measures system load using "load", which is complicated but gives a rough guide on what the computer is doing at any given time. Zoneminder shows Load on the main page (top right) as well as disk space. Typing "uptime" on the command line will give a similar guide, but with three figures to give a fuller measure of what's happening over a period of time but for the best guide to see what's happening, install "htop" - which gives easy to read graphs for load, memory and cpu usage.
A load of 1.0 means the processor has "just enough to do right now". Also worth noting that a load of 4.0 means exactly the same for a quad processor machine - each number equals a single processor's workload. A very high load can be fine on a computer that has a stacked workload - such as a machine sending out bulk emails, or working its way through a knotty problem; it'll just keep churning away until it's done. However - Zoneminder needs to process information in real time so it can't afford to stack its jobs, it needs to deal with them right away.
For a better and full explanation of Load: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_%28computing%29
My load is too high, how can I reduce it?
Zoneminder is /very/ tweakable and it's possible to tune it to compromise. The following are good things to try, in no particular order;
Change the jpeg libraries. In most distributions Linux uses standard jpeg libraries which although fine for most things, don't use the MMX functions in nearly all modern processors. Check whether your cpu supports mmx by running "cpuid |grep MMX" which should give you a line or two along the lines of "MMX instructions". If so, give the libs a try. Most people report their load halves simply by using these libs. http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6419 gives more info. Nobody's posted there to say it broke their system... Yet.
If your camera allows you to change image size, think whether you can get away with smaller images. Smaller pics = less load. 320x240 is usually ok for close-up corridor shots.
Go Black and White. Colour pictures use twice to three times the CPU, memory and diskspace but give little benefit to identification.
Reduce frames per second. Halve the fps, halve the workload. If your camera supports fps throttling (Axis do), try that - saves ZM having to drop frames from a stream. 2-5 fps seems to be widely used.
Experiment with using jpeg instead of mjpeg. Some users have reported it gives better performance, but YMMV.
Tweak the zones. Keep them as small and as few as possible. Stick to one zone unless you really need more.
Schedule. If you are running a linux system at near capacity, you'll need to think carefully about things like backups and scheduled tasks. updatedb - the process which maintains a file database so that 'locate' works quickly, is normally scheduled to run once a day and if on a busy system can create a heavy increase on the load. The same is true for scheduled backups, especially those which compress the files. Re-schedule these tasks to a time when the cpu is less likely to be busy, if possible - and also use the "nice" command to reduce their priority. (crontab and /etc/cron.daily/ are good places to start)
More expensive options:
Increase RAM. If your system is having to use disk swap it will HUGELY impact performance in all areas. Again, htop is a good monitor - but first you need to understand that because Linux is using all the memory, it doesn't mean it needs it all - linux handles ram very differently to Windows/DOS and caches stuff. htop will show cached ram as a different colour in the memory graph. Also check that you're actually using a high memory capable kernel - many kernels don't enable high memory by default.
Faster CPU. Simple but effective. Zoneminder also works very well with multiple processor systems out of the box (if SMP is enabled in your kernel). The load of different cameras is spread across the processors.
What about disks and bandwidth?
In most modern pc-based servers, disk I/O is more than adequate for the speeds involved in capturing from multiple cameras in most scenarios.
A typical 100mbit LAN will cope with most setups easily. If you're feeding from cameras over smaller or internet links, obviously fps will be much lower.
Disk and Bandwidth calculators are referenced on the Zoneminder wiki here: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... _for_ZM.3F

Disk IO
Postby SlovakJoe » Mon Mar 17, 2008 9:49 pm
Disk IO has been my main bottleneck. In the test server I have running, anytime I go to delete a number of events, the deletion causes the system load to increase tremendously. During normal recording conditions the RAM is underutilized, CPU is underutilized, and the recording works smoothly. So far so good. But when anywhere from 5 to 50 GB worth of events are deleted, the system load jumps from say .5 up to 4. At that point Apache drops requests and I can no longer view the main ZM console window. The Apache problem is likely due to this being a test system and using old hardware.
The disk IO performance when deleting and recording at the same time is causing a significant spike in system load. This isn't a surprise, but I'm wondering if other people have problems like this as well? It's to be expected when you have all your events on a single IDE drive. When I move this to production, the production server will most likely use RAID 0 (or 5) or JBOD which will be of great help.

Disk speed
Postby coke » Tue Mar 18, 2008 12:23 am
I'm pretty new at the ZoneMinder game, but in my non-scientific experience so far, RAID 0 is worlds better than one drive. My initial tests set to record all on one drive took ages to delete old events, and pegged the CPU. Reformatted the system (2 320gb drives) into 1 RAID 0 640GB, and it's running like a champ, deleting piles of dirs (more than rm -r can usually handle in one swipe) fairly instantly.
May or may not have something to do with it now being Reiserfs instead of ext3.

Thanks for the update Coke. Like I said, the performance problem is to be expected given my hardware setup. It has nothing to do with ZoneMinder. And as for deleting all those files, after a certain point, you can't even use "rm -rf" anymore. You have to use "find" and pipe the output to "rm". Fortunately, ZM takes care of this all.
Either way, I'd never use a single drive in a production system unless it only had a couple of cameras.
In addition to JBOD for disk spanning, I'm considering switching from Ubuntu to Fedora for the built in LVM support. With LVM you can take multiple disks of different size and group them together into 1 logical drive. This would make life a lot easier for those of us with handfuls of spare 120 and 160 gig drives.

If you use the original flat filesystem then deleting files from directories with tens of thousands of events in will be slow. The deep filesystem available in 1.23.x is much quicker as no directory has more than a handful of other directories in.

When I first read about that feature I was very excited. However, the documentation states that this feature is not ready for production. My test server is running ZM 1.23.1 and in the configuration window, the help for that feature states "Be warned: deep storage should be considered in beta for now, if you value your data do not select it.". Maybe 1.23.2 has fixed this?
If it is in fact a stable feature, then I'll switch to that and compare the performance of a single IDE drive using deep directories VS RAID 0 drives using the flat file structure.
Either way, RAID 0 should eliminate any serious disk IO issues.

Consider the filesystem as well. The Live CDs for ZM and most other distributions use ext3 by default. While robust, ext3 is NOT a performance filesystem. I have been thinking a while about benchmarking a few filesystems with ZM to see the difference. Most of them have better delete performance than ext3.

Large scale deployment
Postby sajithvk » Thu Apr 24, 2008 3:29 am
I have been using zoneminder for a few months on test basis, and it works perfectly for my requirements, including motion detection, recording etc. Currently, we have a requirement to implement large scale surveillance, covering around 70 IP cameras, each at 640x480 resolution (some PTZ, some fixed). Is it advisable to use zm for this situation? I feel everything ok, but the shared memory required may be a big issue.......
Has anyone tested zm on 50+ ip cameras? Or can any one give me tips on how to go about it?

Q. What makes Manuka honey unique, or where does it come from?
A. Manuka honey is produced when bees collect the nectar of the flowering Manuka tree, which is native to, and only grows in New Zealand.
Q. What does a Manuka tree look like, how big does it get?
A. Manuka trees when young resemble bushes or shrubs, and will grow thickly together covering hillsides often in a very dense pattern. Over time, as the tree matures, it will grow to about 15-20 feet, have a long slender trunk and a graceful canopy of foliage at the top.
Q. Does a special bee make Manuka honey?
A. No, there are two main honey bees used commercially the world over, the Italian and the Carniolan. We use both in our operations.
Q. How to you know your bees are collecting Manuka nectar, and not other floral types?
A. First we put the hives into areas that are dense with Manuka, and time the placement of the hives when the Manuka is starting to flower. There are very few other native species that flower while the Manuka is flowering, so there is little competition. Also, once the bees start working a floral type, the whole colony will work that nectar source until it is exhausted. At harvest, based on where the honey was stored in the hive, we can separate any pre-season or post season "bush" or mixed honey that they brought in. Lastly, we test our honey for pollen count, and activity level which gives us a final assurance as to what we are putting in the jar.
Q. Why do you use glass jars?
A. We think honey tastes better out of a glass jar, and we want the beautiful color of the honey to be visible. A lot of companies sell Manuka honey in opaque brown plastic jars so you can't see the product. They buy honey from different producers around NZ, and blend honey to hit a certain activity (MG) level. This results in a lot of variation in color from batch to batch, which would not look good on a store shelf. Our honey may have some variation in color and texture from batch to batch. Granulation of honey is natural and varies from batch to batch based on a number of factors related to the season. The way the bees make the honey is the way we give it to you.
Q. Does Manuka honey taste good?
A. Ours tastes great. Most Manuka has a bit of a strong taste or bite to it, and a bit of an after taste. We have had many New Zealanders tell us our Manuka honey is the best they have ever had. We attribute the great taste to the micro-climate in Taranaki, the only region we produce honey from. The Manuka in Taranaki flowers in Jan-Feb, which is later than the rest of New Zealand. We think the long hot summer days help the Manuka tree produce a sweeter nectar resulting in a much better tasting honey.
Q. What is "Active" Manuka honey?
A. Manuka honey contains a very unique anti-bacterial property that underpins the healing, wellness, and wound care applications of the honey. Manuka honey is tested for its concentration of Methylglyoxal, measured in parts per million (ppm). Methylglyoxal (aka, MGO, MG) has been found to correlate with the antibacterial property of the honey. The higher the MG level, the more effective the honey has been proven to be in the lab when exposed to bacterial agents.
Q. How is the "Activity" level labeled on the honey jar?
A. Using either the MG level directly, which ranges from 100-550 for most Manuka sold, or using an alternative scale termed either UMF (Unique Manuka Factor), or NPA (Non-Peroxide Activity). This scale ranges from 5-20 for most Manuka sold.
Q. What activity level should I buy?
A. For general health & wellness applications, anything greater than a 10+ NPA (250+ MG) will work great. If you have an exotic flesh eating infection that you are going to treat topically, we would suggest you look for a 20+ NPA (800+ MG).
Q. How is Bees & Trees Honey tested & labeled?
A. We use Hill Laboratories, the largest and best respected lab in New Zealand. We have the MG test done, with results reported to us on the NPA scale. We call it the "Bio-Activity Level" because we think NPA sounds a bit too clinical.
Q. How do you like to eat your Manuka honey?
A. I like mine in tea, or on toast. My wife prefers a big heaping teaspoon straight from the jar.

Blindsided The Game Full Movie
A colour transition was announced for the autumn of 1965, throughout which over half of all network prime-time programming would be broadcast in colour. The first all-color prime-time season came just one yr later. In 19402, the last holdout amongst daytime network exhibits transformed to paint, ensuing within the first completely all-color community season. Expands the unique brief film into forty minutes, which makes it kinda feel like a characteristic film without a third act. Just get a bit over 20 minutes extra, an enormous fight to the top and it is a full film.
The verb to stream refers again to the means of delivering or obtaining media in this manner.clarification needed Streaming refers to the supply method of the medium, rather than the medium itself. Distinguishing supply methodology from the media distributed applies specifically to telecommunications networks, as most of the supply techniques are either inherently streaming (e.g. radio, television, streaming apps) or inherently non-streaming (e.g. books, video cassettes, audio CDs). There are challenges with streaming content material on the Internet. For instance, customers whose Internet connection lacks adequate bandwidth may expertise stops, lags, or slow buffering of the content material. And users lacking appropriate hardware or software program techniques may be unable to stream sure content material.

Synopsis Blindsided: The Game (
Very entertaining little movie with oldschool HK action fashion. The story is weak at finest and there is little or no character improvement so there’s not a complete lot to be interested in. It’s only a random flick about random individuals in a random town with some random stuff going on.
Not as good as the unique short and more serious in tone. This movie pays homage to each “Blind Fury” and the “Zatoichi” franchise. Eric Jacobus is spectacular and does well with the performing too. I’d love to see him in a giant budget film, he’d make an excellent Wolverine.

A tv show may additionally be known as a tv program , particularly if it lacks a story construction. A television sequence is normally launched in episodes that comply with a narrative, and are often divided into seasons or collection — yearly or semiannual sets of recent episodes.

Help with weather app - switching from C to F
Hi all,
I hope you can help me with my weather app. I am doing things in stages really, and instead of going all out putting all the data points on my page, I am working with one data point (forecasted temperature) and a basic toggle switch to try and get the switch between units to work. Link to CodePent is below:
I am at the point now where I am writing the Javascript and jQuery, and have had some difficulty getting it to work with clean code. When I wrote the Celsius code out it worked fine, but when I added the “.click” function nothing displayed when the page loaded until the button was clicked. I have tried so many ways to get around it but I feel like I may be missing something.
What I have done at the moment is loaded the the initial call first to the api for Celsius data (which displays content), and then I have added an if statement to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Is there a better way of doing this? If so what would kind of method would you suggest? This is so I have something to go on when doing more research into cleaning up my code and writing it better.
It loaded fine for me and works as I’d expect it to, maybe move the toggle but other than that it works.
Thanks! Button has now changed location, it was only there for testing purposes ;).
I have amended the code to put everything into functions. One question I do have (if anyone can answer it) is, is it possible for me to make a call in a function, and then amend the elements outside of the function some how?
I have this function:
function condApiCallC () {
type: "GET",
url : apiURL + apiKey + condApiURLEnd,
dataType : "jsonp",
success : function(json) {
let location = json.current_observation.display_location.full;
let temp = json.current_observation.temp_c;
let feelsLike = json.current_observation.feelslike_c;
document.getElementById("location").innerHTML = location;
document.getElementById("cond-temp").innerHTML = temp + "<span id='unitTextHead'>°C</span>";
document.getElementById("cond-feels-like").innerHTML = "Feels like: " + feelsLike + "<span id='unitText'>°C</span>";
And I have it again but for fahrenheit (so it is duplicated, but the current_observation.temp_c and current_observation.feelslike_c is now f instead of c). Would it be possible to have the full call in the function, and then have the document.getElementById statements outside of the function? This is so I make one API call and bundle in all of the JSON data grabbing into one function, and then I am free to amend the elements in one bunch.
Hi GraemenElliot,
Yes, you can do with one function call instead of 2. I forked your pen and change it for Celsius. You can do the changes for F in the similar way.
You pass argument unit into the function call. Unit is either “c” or “f”. The way the if statement is written at the moment: it will default to “f” if “c” is not passed as an argument to the function call.
I had to change variables inside {} from “let” to “var” to preserve value outside of {}.
Just to correct myself:
I fused condApiCallC and condApiCallF into one function call: condApiCall
You can do the same for forecastApiCallC and forecastApiCallF
You are the only person on the internet who has actually made me cry haha (don’t worry, they are tears of joy!)! Thanks so much for the help. I was up until 3am Sunday morning trying to figure this out before asking on here (I tried so hard to figure it out on my own). That looks so much better, and something I will definitely remember now. Thank you!
I’m glad I was able to help.

Iowa St AD sorry for comment at son's prep game
Thursday - 2/7/2013, 4:41pm ET
AMES, Iowa (AP) -- Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard is apologizing for his comment at a high school basketball game that led to his removal.
School officials say a referee heard Pollard disagree with a game call during a timeout. The referee then asked school officials to ask Pollard to leave. Pollard did not yell or use foul language and immediately left.

I have no hostility to religion as such, and I think that there is much to learn from the way Latour extracts religion out of the mode of REF and of belief. However, I don’t think that a separate mode REL is the best way to do justice to religion historically, sociologically, and anthropologically. Also, I disapprove of smuggling credal assumptions into a text that is not supposed to be a theological treatise, but an « empirical » ontology. A philosophical text that is far more widely welcomed by priests and theologians than by philosophers raises doubts and questions.
I don’t think that the reserves expressed on Latour’s treatment of religion are due to dusty abstract philosophers being unable to cope with empirical investigation, but rather they are due to people finding that the inquiry is not empirical enough.
For those who are Christians the reduction of religion to the mode REL has devastating consequences. Not only does God does not exist in a referential sense, but neither does Jesus (or if it could be shown that he did exist, it would be irrelevant). The Gospels, on this analysis, describe no empirical historical facts, as they are not referential texts but propose the « wisdom » or the « poetry » of REL. So with Jesus non-existent or irrelevant we have REL as a Christ-without-Jesus mode, that very few Christians would recognise as the essence of their faith.
REL as mode is doing no service to Christianity, unless you are whole-heartedly embracing the refined, or symbolic, Christ-without-Jesus version.
4 commentaires pour BRUNO LATOUR AND RELIGION AS « REL »
1. Not really being interested in Latour’s classifications, for the simple reason that I surmise them to be too ad hoc, that is to say, based on some mish mash of a position he would have distilled out of the contemporary scene. I saw one of the Edinburgh lectures. It’s ok. I can kind of see what he’s doing. But he’s too slow, he’s appeasing his idea of tradition. I’m not convinced by his ecological classicisms.
On belief: Structures of credence inhabit the empirical, where else could they be?
On reference: Contemporary structures of referential practice are not suited to discerning the ‘divine’.
On Jesus Christ: I remember, in the 80s, with all the fuss about the Turin Shroud, I had the idea that they could resurrect Jesus, or at least a clone, if they could find any genetic residue. These days, it’s a common notion, with Jurassic Park, etc..
With regard to Christianity, it won’t disappear, Occidental forms of ‘atheism’ keep it alive. Secondly, it is an inalienable ingredient of ‘Modernity’ & ‘Capitalism’.
2. I think that the more general question is the place of history in AIME. What is the meaning of history.
As for REL it reminds me the following
A spirit (a [REL] being ) passing through people and getting them out of ordinary ways of going around. Towards what? I do not think it is specified (and why should it be- it sounds like a very open procedure).
In this sense MOE feels like wanting to produce experiences of « Spiritual conversion », it is like a call into « Existential entering in the jungle »
But I think it calls for an understanding of history that is very different from what we usually feel when we speak about « empirical historical facts » (which I guess is perceived as mainly [REP] in MOE). Our common notion of time is challenged.
Can one keep some « objectivity » in the construct of time without seeing time as a succession of empirical historical facts? Can Jesus (to take a more familiar example to me) be historical but not in the sense of « the search for the historical Jesus? ». If yes then perhaps the MOE account of religion is not that repulsive for Christians.
Perhaps one can make the whole issue more close to us: what about the time of our own biography, in MOE?
Finally I think that MOE is a call into a new empirical ontology (which calls for a transform of the self of the « observer »/inquirer himself/herself). In a sense Newtonean physics is also a call into « empirical ontology », in the sense that it asks us to perceive and explain the world in a strongly counterintuitive way. MOE feels as if it asks for such a change towards « the world » AND towards the subject (the philosophising subject, the participant in the philosophical discussion) at the same time (introducing new « symbols » in both directions). I have heard that something similar is done in phenomenology so (this is a question for more phylosophically litterate people) is MOE continuing along the lines of phenomenology? Is it like an expansion of phenomenology in new directions? (Ricoeur in his discussions with Changeux speaks about the search of a new discourse beyond phenomenology and neurobiological talk and to me it seems that the traffic of discourses that Latour sets in motion in MOE sounds like something like this)
To use my beloved Voegelin it feels to me like an elaboration of the experience of metaxy. The tension that Voegelin speaks about is now reshaped into a multitude of flows (the flows in the Modes of Existence). Voegelin speaks about a « divine ground » and perhaps the flow of the beings of the modes of existence creates a sense of « beginning » that happens elsewhere (even if Latour speaks continually against a strong transcendance perhaps this is a more reasonable transcendance). In a more traditional theological language perhaps the modes of existence can be related to God’s energies (one of the issues that had central position in the theological contrast between Western and Eastern Churches) (There are important differences though: Voegelin tells that man is in the in-between , between the world and the divine ground of existence. In Latour the particulars of the world are very strongly connected with humans. But the feel is not that different: Consciousness in Voegelin is not identical with what we usually experience as « I »)
On the whole MOE feels to me like a call to the wilderness: it feels like calling somebody to leave back the automatisms of « everyday modern thinking » and become something like a part of a jungle tribe with its wholly different way of living (I think of the varieties Descola presents in his systematizing book). Perhaps a « living in the Gaia-jungle »
But perhaps I just serve as an example that religiously inclined people find all kinds of analogies in a book that was not made with such a purpose.

3. There is an other aspect of religion that I do not find in [REL]. Now I am a semi-modern, a hybrid, so I am not sure how much this fits to Moderns. On the other hand MOE should help comparative anthropology so in this sense there should be some connection between [REL] and Orthodox Christian religious experience.
I find it very difficult to speak of the latter without considering what the monks who are recognised as saints by us told us. They do use the symbol of « visitation of grace » (which I think is close to conversion in [REL]) but they also use the symbol of constant motion towards God and preceverence against abandonment. I see the first in [REL] but I do not see the second. However even in our relationships do we not also have love crisis where the one feels for some reason angered or offended and then the other has to percevere against indifference or even hostility (I remember when I was doing French decades ago Le Carte du Pays de Tendre ?
The monk who feels abandoned by the Grace of God and still perceveres (memory is very important here) is he/she not moving [REL]igiously? Indeed there is a constant motion against various levels of « resistance » (this sounds like [TEC] but the monk might feel that this technological movement is a joint effort of man and God) in the course of life seen religiously.
Sesoes the Great whom we celebrate today was in his death bed and was telling his students after years of efforts that he felt he had not even start repenting in his life. St Athanassious the Athonite (whom we celebrated yesterday) went alone in a place in Athos (called Melanos) but then started to not feel at ease with the place. He decided though to stay and percevere for one year and in the last day when he was ready to leave » set about to prayer, a heavenly light suddenly shone upon him, filling him with an indescribable joy, all the thoughts dissipated, and from his eyes welled up graced tears. From that moment St Athanasius received the gift of tenderness , and he became as strongly fond of the place of his solitude as he had formerly loathed it. » There are other cases too, but mainly there is the experience that what is described as [REL] is followed by a tension, a direction towards a fullfilment that is only remembered (there are few cases of people who are considered that they leave constantly the presence of grace and even then, I think, the vigilance against relapsing in a perverted form of ego is always present) and therefore there is grief but a grief that has hope in it and energises towards « cleaning one’s heart » (which reminds of [MET] but still this is done « for the shake of Somebody » so it does not sound like the [MET] described in MOE). Monks speak about « the grief that makes you happy »
(I should also add that « revelations » are treated with much concern and care amongst the monks because they consider they could be devil’s ploy into leading them in a distorted sense of their being, in feeling puffed up)
Now these that I described in extreme forms in monks appear in other forms in people living « in the world ».
Still I am not the proper person to speak about all these. I just wanted to express in an negotiatory style what sounds difficult to accept in [REL] from my tradition as I experience it. I do not know how it resonates with Catholic or Protestant religious experience.
The above also show I think the difficulty to put such a « Feedback » inside the constraints of Contributions in AIME. In order to make for the above a positive contribution in AIME I should comprehend the whole system of modes and propose a variation that takes them also into account. This is quite difficult. So in the majority of cases I think that the conctraints for the Contributions work like a « selection machine » that makes it easy to put forward examples that agree with the MOE scheme and makes it difficult to register in a positive way cases that express concerns about the MOE decription of affairs.

Wario Stadium
Wario Stadium MK64
Overview of track
First appearance Mario Kart 64 (1997)
Appears in Mario Kart 64
Cup Star Cup
Wario Stadium (not be confused with the Mario Kart DS version) is the name of the premier course of Mario Kart 64's Star Cup and is one of the biggest courses of that game, second only to Rainbow Road.
It features a jump that dictates that it be done properly or the player be put back about a quarter of the way back, which usually means the difference between first place and trailing behind all other competitors.
• It is the only Mario Kart 64 course to not be remade into any other Mario Kart game.

TSMC ARM Cortex-A9 chip hits 3.1GHz high
May 4, 2012 // 10:39 a.m.
Tags: #28nm #40nm #arm #arm-cortex-a9 #cortex-a9 #fab #foundry #taiwan-semiconductor #tsmc
Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) may be having a few problems with its 28nm process, but that hasn't stopped the company announcing the release of the first 3.1GHz ARM-based processor.
Built on the company's 28nm process - despite admitted capacity problems at the node, which has led to customer Qualcomm looking elsewhere for spare capacity - the test chip is based on ARM's Cortex-A9 dual-core IP, but running at a speed hitherto unheard-of for the design.
Typical Cortex-A9 dual-core processors run at between 1GHz and 2GHz, making TSMC's latest creation the fastest ARM processor on the planet.
'At 3.1GHz this 28HPM dual-core processor implementation is twice as fast as its counterpart at TSMC 40nm under the same operating conditions,' claimed Cliff Hou, vice president of research and development at the foundry giant. 'This work demonstrates how ARM and TSMC can satisfy high performance market demands. With other implementation options, 28HPM is also highly suited for a wide range of markets that prize performance and power efficiency.'
Sadly, as Hou's comments suggest, TMSC won't be releasing the 3.1GHz part into the market any time soon. Rather, it's using the test chip platform as a demonstration of its capabilities in the hopes that ARM's multitudinous licensees will beat a path to its door, eager to get their hands on the company's secret-source for their own chip designs.
'TSMC's high performance 28HPM process is suitable for a wide range of advanced ARM-processor based applications, extending from high-frequency, performance-orientated computing devices to power sensitive applications,' boasted Jim Nicholas, vice president of ARM's processor marketing department, of TSMC's achievement. 'The collaboration between ARM, TSMC and our ecosystem partners has delivered an extensible implementation platform that enables flexibility in performance and power management trade-offs for next generation products.'

How To Do A Project On EFFICIENCY IN PACKAGING(related To Cbse Class 10)?
4 Answers
Liam Sheasby Profile
Liam Sheasby answered
The CBSE is the Central Board of Secondary Education in India. It has regional offices all across the country and its schools charge admission fees. Class 10 is a year group that sits exams, as do Class 12. It is the equivalent of Year 11 in the UK but is 10th Grade in the US.
On that basis, the project should be challenging - because the students are educated teenagers - but this business question should be quite straightforward. The project should explain the basics of packaging - the usual materials, the sizes of boxes, alternatives to boxes, how packages are mailed to other places and the process this involves.
It should look at each individual aspect and challenge it; why are those materials used? Are there cheaper or more useful alternatives? Could alternative packaging be reused? These are basic, but intelligent questions. The answers will then prove the strength of that candidate's investigatory abilities, as well as assess their judgment, logic and general intellect.
The student should tackle this project almost like a scientific investigation. They should write it up and introduce the problem - a question about the efficiency of packaging - and then explain their objectives for the project. They then explain what questions they posed and how they investigated these, followed by the answers they got and the conclusions they drew from this.

transit tracker
What is Transit Tracker?
Transit Tracker is a revolutionary device that takes transit riding to a new level. This product allows the transit rider to locate their bus or train at its exact location from the convenience of both the internet as well as at specific transit terminals.
The user is given a simulated real-time display of where the bus or train is, and when it arrives at their stop. The internet provides a list of the different routes available and shows a graphical representation of a bus or train moving around the page in real-time. There is also a clock allowing the user to select their stop and determine how long the bus or train will take to arrive. The LCD display board is located at specific transit stops. This device allows the transit rider to visually see where the bus is, with the use of an LCD panel, and also displays roughly how long it will take to arrive.

Looker API SDKs
The Looker API offers different ways to make use of an SDK. We suggest using one of our SDKs, instead of making manual requests to the API, because the SDKs handle the intricate details of authentication, parameter serialization, response serialization, and other concerns.
Language SDKs
Looker offers an official Looker API client SDK in several languages:
You can find source code and project examples that use SDKs to communicate with the Looker API in Lookers SDK Example GitHub repository
Generating Client SDKs for the Looker API
If you are not familiar with the languages above or your company uses a different programming language, you can generate a client SDK in the language of your choice using the “legacy” mode of Looker’s SDK codegen project. Instructions for doing so can be found in Looker’s SDK Codegen GitHub repository.

Highlighted link
Hi Jeremy
When I add a highlighted link and then add a new line underneath, which has no reference to the link, the new line gets highlighted.
I can easily solve this by adding in menu Text Style Normal text, which converts back to normal lettering.
Is there a way that once you create a link , the next line underneath does not get highlighted?
Nothing major more of an extra steps to avoid

RE: Highlighted link
Hi Phill,
I was also wondering how to avoid this highlighting thing. l also tried to create a link to another record in my collection database, but failed. The link is not working properly.

RE: Highlighted link
Hi Terry
The links are working as intended.
The highlight is there to show there is a link.
Have you looked into the video tutorial and or the online tutorials to make sure you have set up a Recollector image file correctly,mine is under documents, thats where you put all the images and associated files so that recollector can pick them up.
If you don't set the file up correctly, recollector won't pick up your files.
Go thru the set up again, it had taken me a few times to understand it so trial and error however I got there in the end.
The link I was referring to,when you add a new line underneath a link, it highlights that same link again so you have to highlight and select normal text so that you can either go thru the process to create a new link or just add normal text.
Again the links are working as intended.
Mate don't give up, I have over 3000 files in my database each containing up to 40 fields with images links.
No doubt Jeremy will give you a better clarification on what to do.
Keep us inform on how you go
all the best

RE: Highlighted link
On the PC version of Recollector the selection of text for styling or creating hyperlinks can be a little bit sensitive. As Phill points out, once you have changed the style of text (whether it be the various appearance styles, or a hyperlink), if you then insert text adjacent (before or after) the styled text (and "adjacent" includes the beginning of the next line when the text at the end of the line is styled), the newly inserted text will also be given that style (or, in the case of a hyperlink, extend that link). Though it is a bit of of a nuisance, the best approach to avoiding this is, when you have started typing in the new text, and see that it has "inherited" the style of the adjacent text, just select the newly typed-in characters, right-click, and choose Normal from the context menu.
You will note that the style section of the context menu is always disabled when no text is selected. So, unfortunately, if you want to enter some styled text (for example, text in italic), you can't position your text input cursor where you want to enter this text, choose Italic from the context menu, and then begin to type. You need to first type in the desired text, select the just-typed-in text, and then use the context menu to style it. This is different from the text-style behavior you see in a program like Microsoft Word, where you can select the style that you want to use before you start typing.
One other note, that maybe relates to Terry's issue: After selecting, with your mouse, the text you want to style or turn into a hyperlink, you right-click with the mouse to open the context menu. But if you have moved the mouse location slightly before right-clicking, you might find that the selection has disappeared, and so the context menu displays with all styling and hyperlink options disabled. This is because the system looks at the exact location of the cursor when you right-click, and if that location is outside the blue-background box of the selected text, the prior selection is removed (i.e., the blue-highlighting is removed, not the actual text) and the cursor is set to a new location based on the mouse location at the moment you right-clicked. So you need to be a bit careful when right-clicking after making a selection: Make sure that your mouse cursor is still in the selected (blue-background) area when you click. As a help for doing this correctly, note that when your cursor is located within a selected (blue-background) area, the cursor will display as an arrow, whereas outside of the selected area it will display as a vertical bar (text-entry cursor) symbol. So be sure you are seeing the arrow cursor when you right-click to bring up the context menu.

How can I create a highlighted link to using my personal webpage?
09-14-2019, 05:57 AM,
RE: Highlighted link
Just create a W-type hyperlink. (See the User's Guide for how to do this.) The target for the hyperlink should be the URL of your personal web page. Clicking on the resultant link will take you to your web page in a browser window.

Strawberry-Lemon Coconut Smoothie
It's strawberry season in San Diego! I know that sounds weird, but this is when we start getting strawberries from our local farms. That is one of the reasons I think it's going to be hard to move away when we graduate... however the main reason is Disneyland, I have no idea how I'll survive being more than a couple hours drive from Disneyland.... :'(
Where I think I live
Where my friends think I live
Where my husband thinks I live
Ok a moment to recover
...and now back to the recipe. :)
When Nathan first got hurt I went to the grocery store and tried to figure out what might be good for him to drink. One of the things I found was coconut water, which purports to be a naturally balanced way to hydrate (like nature's gatorade?). Anyway, it intrigued me so I brought a box home. We were pretty excited to try it, but unfortunately it turned out that neither of us liked the taste and it's been sitting in our fridge ever since. I super HATE throwing things out, so here is my attempt to salvage it in a tasty smoothie.
1/2 cup - coconut water (you could probably use milk or regular water too)
6 oz. - lemon yogurt
10 - strawberries
1/4 cup - coconut milk (we use Mea Ploy brand cause it's the bestest)
Throw all the ingredients into your blender. I didn't include any honey or sugar in this recipe but you could add some now if like things a bit sweeter.
Here's the coconut water! Just dump it in!
Pour into a fancy glass
Drink and notice how nice coconut water tastes when you mask it with lots of other better tasting stuff. :)
Get well soon!

Spicy Carrot Curry Soup
So... in preparation for all the soup making I am expecting to do, I invested in the Costco 10 lb bag of onions and 10 lb bag of organic carrots. I was pretty optimistic about purchasing them, however, 20 lbs of vegetables looks a lot bigger now that we have them in our apartment.
I think we'll do ok, but I have to remember to buy some green vegetables next time we're out. I don't want to risk turning us orange (a quick poll of my friends + google search revealed this wonderful article on the subject. Good news: only one known carrot overdose related death in history, yay?).
This soup will be my first in a series of attempts to make my way through those carrots. On the bright side it turned out super tasty, I think next time I'll make a double batch. :)
6 - medium sized carrots
1 - large yellow onion
4 - cloves garlic
32 oz. - chicken stock
1 Tbsp - curry powder
1 tsp - nutmeg
1 tsp - cayenne pepper (adjust to make it more or less spicy)
1 tsp - salt (more or less depending on the sodium content of your broth)
2 Tbsp - butter (or olive oil)
1/4 cup - cream (optional)
Start by dicing up your onion. Since you are blending this soup don't worry too much about getting the pieces too uniform.
While you're dicing you can start heating up your butter in the pot.
Add the onions to the pot and let them caramelize as you chop up the garlic and carrots. Again it doesn't really matter how you chop since we are blending. However, I like to chop relatively thin slices so that the carrots cook faster.
Make sure the onions are fully caramelized before adding the other ingredients. The onions are a big part of the flavor in the finished soup.
these look about done!
Toss in the garlic and the carrots. if you are worried about things sticking you can also add a cup or so of the chicken broth.
Let everything simmer together for a couple minutes until the carrots start to get just a bit soft. Next add the curry and nutmeg. I know nutmeg sounds like something that should go in pumpkin pie and gingerbread, but it turns out it also complements and adds depth to curries too. How exciting! :D
Mix around just a bit more and then add the rest of your chicken broth. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until everything is soft.
When you are confident that everything is soft enough to blend transfer the contents of the pot to your blender. Add the cayenne pepper and cream if you are using any and blend until smooth.
Get well soon!

Garlic Lemon White Bean Soup
This recipe was inspired by Nigella Lawson's White Bean Mash. We changed it up a little to make it more like a soup so that it's easy to drink out of a cup (Nathan's current preferred eating method).
2 Cans White Kidney Beans
2 Tbps Lemon Juice
6 Cloves of Garlic (we made it pretty garlicky, feel free to reduce the amount to lessen the intensity)
1 1/2 Chicken Broth
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
salt to taste (taste test first because canned beans vary a lot in sodium content)
Dice the garlic and saute in a skillet with the olive oil.When the garlic begins to brown add the beans to the pan along with 1 cup of the chicken broth.
Simmer for about 7 min, or until the beans begin to break down a bit.
These beans are done!
Transfer the bean mixture from the pan to the blender and add the lemon juice and remaining chicken broth. Blend on high for about 1 min, adding more chicken broth if the mixture looks too thick.
Taste and add salt if necessary. Strain into a mug to remove any bean skins that remain in the mixture (using the method in the Split Pea Soup post). Serve immediately and enjoy!
Get well soon!

Sprinkles Cupcake Smoothie?
Last year a new Sprinkles Cupcake bakery opened up walking distance from our house, an occurrence which was obviously a direct sign that we should be eating more cupcakes.
One of the best things about Sprinkles (beside beautiful delicious cupcakes) is that each day they have a secret whisper word which will score you a free cupcake. This seems to work well in theory, but in practice I always seem to walk out with my free cupcake and also seven dollars worth of other cupcakes that I couldn't leave without...
Anyway, since the day Nathan broke his jaw I had already guiltily eaten one Sprinkles Cupcake of which he not eaten even a single bite because, well, he can't bite anything. In light of this cruelty I had decide that I wouldn't get anymore cupcakes because that seemed mean. However, in a stroke of genius, it occurred to me that maybe I didn't have to go on an 8 week cupcake fast after all, maybe, just maybe I could BLEND a cupcake! Ok, it also occurs to me now that I might have a cupcake problem... but let's ignore that for now.
Once inside the store I inquired about which cupcake they thought might do the best in the blender, and after some deliberation we decided upon the classic Spinkles Red Velvet cupcake. Turns out that this is ALWAYS a good choice, even when your plans include blenders.
Sweet little unsuspecting cupcake, it feels safe and secure knowing that the person it was purchased for is not currently capable of biting or chewing.
Little does Sweet Little Cupcake know of our plans...
Sweet Little Cupcake is starting to feel slightly less secure now...
So is this Vanilla Yoplait yogurt.
And Surprise! It actually turned out really nice and tasted just like drinking a red velvet cupcake. Plus it's really pretty. :)
1/2 - Sprinkles Red Velvet Cupcake, frosting and all (or sub with a homemade cupcake)
1/4 cup milk
6 oz. Vanilla Yogurt
Place everything in the blender and run until it is a smooth frothy consistency. Pour into a frosty glass and enjoy!
*note we also tried replacing the yogurt with ice cream and that was good too.
Get well soon!

Split Pea Soup
Split pea soup was one of the first things I though of as an easy liquid diet food. The peas go all mushy and the whole thing is just like a pureed soup except that you didn't actually have to do any pureeing, genius! Extra bonus, it might be the best way to incorporate bacon flavor into a drinkable food without actually stooping to the act of pureeing bacon (we may eventually sink to that level, but we're trying to hold out for at least a week).
1 onion chopped
2 stalks celery chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1 bay leaf
1-2 tsp marjoram
2 strips of bacon
1 cup split peas
6-8 cups water or broth (depending on how thick you can handle)
Saute bacon slices in the bottom of a large soup pan on medium heat. Once they are crispy take them out and place them on a paper towel to cool. You are now done with the bacon and some chewing member of you family (or friends) should probably be invited to come enjoy them so that you're not tempted to try and force the bacon through your banded shut teeth. Add the onion, garlic, and celery to the pot and fry in the bacon grease until the onions become transparent (ok, yay now you get bacon flavor after all, also, if all this bacon is not your thing, you can replace it with butter or olive oil and everything will still turn out tasty, just less bacony).
Once the onions are transparent add the water (or broth if you have it) and set the heat to high. Once the pot is boiling add your split peas, salt, paper and marjoram. Lower the heat and simmer until everything disintegrates into a green mush.
Now depending on your jaw you might be able to eat this as is, or you might want to add an additional step which will make everything even smoother and easier to drink. Since Nathan currently has to drink everything through his teeth we did this extra step to make the whole process a little more pleasant.
Step 1: Find a sieve
at first I thought this one was a good one
and then I realized squishing an entire pot of soup through it was going to take just about a million years.
This huge one is MUCH better, I definitely recommend buying a big one if you can find it
Step 2: Mush all the soup through the BIG sieve
This makes all the soup much smoother, and catches all the big pieces that would get stuck in your teeth, before they get stuck in your teeth. WAY more pleasant that way. Unfortunately not all the soup will probably fit through the sieve and you'll be left with some chunky parts. If you have a chewing-able person in your household they might be happy to eat these more chunky pieces of soup (this is our current solution). Otherwise you might try blending these chunkier pieces in either a blender or a food processer (maybe with some more broth?) to break them down more and make them easier to eat.
Get well soon!

Why we're here
Bicycles are useful but dangerous beasts, and even bikes which you believe to be tame and docile can occasionally surprise you with a wild streak. Just such an occurrence happened to our family last week when my husband Nathan's bike decided that instead of moving forward in an orderly manner, it would get it's wheel stuck in a pothole and chuck Nathan over the handlebars (not a nice idea bike, we're watching you...)
Fortunately Nathan had the presence of mind to catch himself with his face, and even more fortunately to find our housemate who helped him locate bits of his tooth and who also miraculously convinced him to go to the ER. Several hours later we got the news that his jaw was broken and he'd need surgery. Thus began our new life in the world of liquid dinners (and breakfast, and lunches, and snacks). Prognosis is that chewing is out for the next 6 to 8 weeks which means it's time to whip out the blender! (ok, actually we are borrowing a blender, cause we're grad students and don't actually own one... luckily we've got a good friend who has entrusted us with hers).
In our copious amounts of hospital time I started searching for ideas for what we could make at home and came away realizing that there actually aren't that many resources for people on liquid diets and those that do exist are strange... like blended spagetti... and pizza... not that I'm saying that those wouldn't be good... but I might not be emotionally ready for that yet. So in response to the lack of resources I'm using this blog as a place to compile the recipes we make, with the goal that they will be things that you would actually want to eat even if your jaw weren't wired (or rubber banded) shut. :)
And for your viewing enjoyment, here we are hanging out in the emergency room (post-break, pre-surgery). Poor Nathan has his eyes closed because it is the law of the universe that we can never both have our eyes open in the same photo. :)
Get well soon!

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Wolverine (2009)
Well, it isn't as bad as I'd heard, which is definitely damning with faint praise. Hugh Jackman makes a terrific hero, but the movie, dealing with the origins of this nearly immortal, rapid-regeneration, feral X-Man is just "meh." After a terrific credit sequence showing how Jim Logan and his brother (Liv Shreiber, terrific) fought in every American war from the Civil War to Vietnam, Logan is recuited into a secret military unit composed exclusively of mutants. After a massacre in Nigeria (which a Nigerian friend of mine took offense at) Logan quits and tries to live a normal life, falls in love...and of course, the government comes after him. The story deals with the issue of Wolverine's indestructable adamantium skeleton, his loss of memory, etc...while never really dealing with his blood thirst (oh, come on...WE know why he fought in all those wars!) and a few other things. Some of the effects are a bit tacky, but others are terrific, and the overall feeling was "popcorn movie." Before "Dark Night" and "Iron Man", before people started expecting Comic book movies to be quite so good, it would have been perfectly acceptable. As is...
Kind of interesting here. A couple of black women I know considered Wolverine to be extremely sexist. I watched it, with that in mind, and maybe I missed something. So a woman he trusted betrayed him. Half the characters in the movie are betraying each other, and most of 'em are men. So what?
And a couple of women die. So? Anyone notice that ten times as many men died? And what puzzled me is that 100% of the non-white mutants died. One black, one white, one native American. And the one black mutant died specifically because he was trying to help the white guy. All surviving mutants: white. Check. Female mutants survive? Yes, an important one. Females behaving as badly as males? No. A woman does a bad thing, but for a reason even Wolverine ultimately accepts. Maybe I'm missing something here.
I actually appreciate the reminders of Neville Chamberlain's appeasement of the Germans, and can see how that historical cowardice could be seen as "and therefore, it is not always better to speak to your enemies." I get it. I consider it reasonable to count this as a case in which it hurt. I don't AGREE with this, but I do consider it reasonable. I would look at this as a case in which it was foolish to give an appeaser control over whether or not England went to war. A person who will not fight under any circumstances isn't much better than one who will not communicate under any circumstances. But as I accept this as reasonable and rational, it seems to me that the number of cases where people talked, and then went to war, are innumerable. And the cases in which people talked, and averted war, are also innumerable. And that the statistics go WAY in that direction. "Speak of peace, but prepare for war" would be pretty close to my motto--and having spent forty years of my life learning how to hurt people, what I know is that the people I respect most in the world are the warriors who can kill you with a touch...but will strive with all their power to have peace. They will speak to you, or to anyone, without fear. It is their teaching I have followed my entire life, and I have seen vast positive results in my own life from the attitude of communicating from a position of strength. I honor those who disagree with me--but those who believe that someone who disagrees with them must be ignorant is likely to have far more conflict in their lives than one who seeks common ground. In fifty-seven years of life as a black man in an often racist culture, I have NEVER failed to find common ground, even when those around me swore there was none. That common ground has not always been enough to prevent conflict, but it has always reduced it. Always. My attitude is clear: "I will kill you if you hurt my family. But you can kill me, as well. Is there not some way for us to coexist?" I see no reason to change it, or to think it does not work for nations as well as individual warriors.
Christian M. Howell said...
Howdy. As you knwo I usually don't agree with your use of th word Sambo, but I have come to realize that it's a reaction to th fact that most black men don't deserve to live til the end. I mean you seem at least to be "mainstream"(read:your pants fit) but that is not the case for most of us.
I live in Brooklyn and I'd guess that .5% of men around here have a career - not just a job. As soon as gangsta rap came out every brotha bailed on America and became some kind of outlying "non-society" where the Civil Rights Acts, Title 7 and every other actual law to give us options to racism are ignored for counter-productivity and cultural ruin.
I keep saying it won't change until we do as a majority. I try all day to set a good example in my dress, attitude and intellect. Unfortunately, more "brothas" feel like being good citizens somehow lessens their "blackness," as if we didn't build a lot of this country through the economics of slavery.
I know now that no one cares though so I look out for me. If a person is fulfilling the tenets of a "free" country, I'm your friend. If you're not, I'm not.
I will lose no sleep. I mean right now my company and I are about to part company because people mistake me for someone else. Well, at least there's a financial benefit.

thank God someone else said it...I know Bill Cosby went a wee-over the top with his criticisms, but the man had a point. We don't have to be self-destructive to maintain a unique identity. A lot of young men got caught up in the Black Panther vaccum after the late sixties and we're still paying for it.
Frank said...
I just want to make the point, again, that I am not against talking to enemies.
Talking isn't the problem.
It's how you engage in the conversation that is important.
Conversation can never be a substitute for action. You have to have the chamber loaded and the hammer cocked when you talk and you must be absolutely clear that while you would prefer not to pull the trigger, you most certainly will if necessary. And most importantly they have to believe it. And you must believe it as well.
Just as importantly, you must not accept words as a substitute for action. As Regan once said "Trust but verify", or more generally "Actions speak louder than words".
Every concession you win from talking with your enemy must be followed up with action.
As far as I'm concerned, Saddam violated this essential rule.
So has Iran and North Korea. How long we will continue to show weakness to both of these regimes I don't know. But I am pretty sure that the longer it goes on this way, the bigger the blowback in the end. What's worse, precisely because of all the public reciminations, it is very difficult for either Iran or North Korea to believe that we will do violence upon them if they do not behave. My guess is that an awful lot of people are going to have to die before we are willing again to do violence. What's worse is that if we have been more aggressive early, many lives would have been saved in the end.
And I just do not understand how people think this current path will result a good outcome.
But I still think it is not to late.

Christian, I wonder how typical Brooklyn is-- black people in Philadelphia (especially center city) are typically a lot better dressed than what you describe.
Harlem Children's Zone is a very successful and ambitious project to teach poor children academic subjects and good habits, starting with the parents. It's important in itself, but also interesting as a synthesis of left wing (poor people have serious problems and it isn't simply their fault) and right wing (poor people's lives won't get better unless they change what they're doing).

I am curious. Does anyone have some concrete historical examples of negotiations avoiding a war. I googled this and got no concrete examples.
Steven Barnes said...
I am so sorry that you know so few productive, positive black men. I swear that they are out there, and I have nothing but them among my black friends. Honestly, you seem to be carrying some negative attitudes that will hurt your own life. We have to meet one day, Christian. You seem a solid young man who needs a touch of perspective. I would be happy to help supply it.
Steven Barnes said...
We're in very close agreement here. As I've said before, obviously we both love this country very much, and just have some disagreements about how best to protect or nurture it. I do believe either of us would gladly die to pass the freedoms we have enjoyed to our children. So long as that is true, we can work out the rest.
Steven Barnes said...
Marty S.--
I believe that the Cuban Missile Crisis was an example of talk between the leaders of countries averting disaster. Most countries have both a military AND a diplomatic corps. I doubt seriously if this would be the case if talk were actually ineffective. Now, when diplomacy breaks down, you have to throw down. And we MUST be ready for that. Many who know me think I'm obsessive about my physical safety. Others seem to think I'm a Pollyanna. I'm just someone who can give you all the war you want, but would seriously prefer peace.
Marty S said...
Steve: The Cuban missile crisis seems like a good example. I'd like to find some more. I think studying examples of success and failure is the best way to understand when talk works and when it doesn't. Meanwhile I am in complete agreement with your last statement, "I'm just someone who can give you all the war you want, but would seriously prefer peace."

Marty, part of what's hard about finding out when talk prevents war is that you can only be sure of it when (as with the Cuban missile crisis) the sides were on the brink of war.
If diplomacy heads off a war further in advance, it's harder to tell whether the diplomacy was successful or whether war was unlikely anyway.

"I'm just someone who can give you all the war you want, but would seriously prefer peace."I like the Marine motto: "No better friend, no worse enemy."
The Cuban Missile Crisis is a great example of negotiating with the chamber loaded and the hammer cocked.
Kennedy sent the Navy out and the bombers were in the air. Our willingness to settle this with war could not be mistaken.
In contrast, look at how the government of Pakistan has been "negotiating" with al Qaeda and the Taliban in Pakistan. This process has been going on for well over two years and the Taliban have gained ground with each round of "negotiations" while giving up nothing at all.
The Pakistani Government conveyed nothing but weakness the whole time. Finally when the Taliban got within 90 miles of the seat of Government, Pakistan had to act. And you are seeing the chaos that has resulted.
And it is not yet clear that the Government will win this fight. But one thing is quite certain, this will be a much longer and harder fight precisely because of all the territory the Government "negotiated" away.

There are two things that will help black men to humanize themselves:
1: Don't acknowledge whiteness as a power system. There are Chinatowns and Japantowns all over, but there are no Little Africas. Maybe because we are so diverse--and have no direct allegiance or lineage to Africa--but to deconsider whiteness as a factor is a powerful tool. Read some Wade Nobles.
2. Black men (in the US) have to stop thinking that they are the only black men in the world. It is up to educated and well-traveled brothers to expand the horizons of the brothers who are stuck in the 6 block radius of their hoods.
we're taking 8 "hoods" to Ghana this Summer to blow their minds.
@Christian I'm from Brooklyn (but now live in the Bay) and I disagree. I think that it is more than just gangsta rap that killed the black male spirit. it is the lack of the ability and the drive to share and receive love that has damaged them so fully.

I beg to differ with you. There is a "Little Ethiopia" in Los Angeles, and similar districts in other towns. But you're talking about immigrants who share language and custom. American blacks actually are in a uniquely bad situation: strip away language, religion, culture, and names and you have blank slates upon which any kind of inferiority-generating imprintation can be made. I see no chance of black people separating themselves into "little Africas" without an African culture to bind them together. Too late for that. So what I am committed to is helping America live up to its own values. This is the country I have, and I'm willing to fight to make it better. I have nowhere else to go.
Steven Barnes said...
"No better friend, no worse enemy." I REALLY like that, Frank. Thank you. Negotiate locked and loaded? Works for me. My guess is that it works for most of the folks on this blog, as well. Amazing how we really don't disagree as much as demagogues on both sides want us to think we do, isn't it?

You know what the real tragedy of Wolverine was? Deadpool.
How many hands did that character design pass through and not a single one of them stopped and said, "I wonder why he's called the "Merc with a Mouth." Who thought it was a good idea to completely eliminate the most prominent aspect of the character and replace it with the powers of a z-lister like Mimic?

If someone owned several acres of woodland area that was fenced off from the public, could a dog go for a walk without the owner?
• 1
Does the fencing keep the dog in, or just keep out people? Most fencing around several acres, is not going to be tight enough to keep a dog in. Which means you dog is going to end up on the other side of the fence, this is not good for you or the neighbors. It is most likely going to be fatal to your dog. – James Jenkins Apr 30 at 12:38
No, dogs don't walk themselves.
As lila already explained in their answer, dogs are social animals. If they grow up feral, they live in packs with several animals. If they grow up with humans, they live together with at least one, often several humans. They need this company to be mentally healthy and stable.
Let's imagine: You live with a dog in a nice house in a rural area. When the mood strikes, you open the door and let your dog walk into the fenced area. What would your dog do?
While it's in the house with you, it constantly interacts with you (even if this interaction is no more than a sideway glance) and is always aware that you, the pack, are nearby.
Outside, it would probably poop and pee, maybe even sniff around the perimeter and mark its territory. But since no foreign dogs can enter the fence, marking isn't as important as in the wild. Since you aren't around, there's no-one to interact with and nothing meaningful to do. Even if there were toys lying around, there's no-one to play with. It's booooring.
What incentive does a dog have to take a walk?
• Social interaction with the owner (who doesn't want to be with the dog in this scenario)
• Social interaction with other dogs and/or people (who cannot enter the fenced-off area)
• Mark the own territory (seldom necessary, since no foreign dog can challenge / overwrite the mark)
• Sniffing where other dogs peed, which is an indirect social interaction (again, impossible in this area)
• Hunting for food (unecessary since a full food bowl waits in the house)
The pack mentality is so ingrained in dogs that they won't be happy without social contact. If you fail to offer this social contact, the dog will not accept you as the pack leader (you'd be barely accepted as pack member), it won't follow your commands and will try to find another pack.
If you only offer social contact in the house, the dog will want to return inside as soon as possible. It won't burn off surplus energy by going on a walk on it's own but rather by eratic behavior and/or destroying things in the house.
If you're not ready to dedicate quite a lot of time and effort to your dog, please refrain from getting one. In reality you need to invest even more time than you initially thought or your dog will develop problematic behavior and make your live much less comfortable than it was before you had it.

I would say it's an interesting question with a bit complicated potential answer.
Allowing your dog to roam free on its own in some enclosed private area, considering there are no hazards like deep pits your dog could fall into, etc. would of course be better than keeping it indoors all the time. Dog for example wouldn't rely on your presence to be able to take care of it's physiological needs.
On the other hand, walking a dog is not just about its physiological drives: mainly it's about exploring, interacting with novelty and fulfilling cognitive needs. Dogs are intelligent and their minds are complex enough that, sooner or later, any enclosed area would ultimately prove to be relatively dull and uninteresting compared to all these unfamilar and exciting temptations existing on the other side of the fence. It could lead to development of anxiety and wide range of mental issues.
Also, please consider that dogs are social animals. Letting them loose in an isolated woodland would provide them space and fresh air, but probably close to no interaction with other dogs and people - generally almost no social stimuli compared to "manually" walking it in public, outside of your belongings. What is more, if you have a healthy relationship with your dog, it sees you as the leader of the pack - and for this reason feels safer, more secure, and I guess just more cheerful while walking around with your companion because it feels like it is sharing its cognitive experience with you which is a powerful and positive social stimulus.
In essence I would say that it's really convenient and also beneficial if you owned some land or otherwise had some safely enclosed outdoor backyard that your dog could use - and (excluding any potential legal concerns I could have missed) in that sense I'd say yes, a dog could somewhat walk itself but only if we consider walking a dog as an euphenism for letting it go to the toilet. But that would never be the true substitute of "manually" walking your dog.

Doing Favors
Offer me a favor, please do
If you accept, I'll rely on you
The date comes and it's due
You're gone and everything's askew
I ask you for a favor and you accept
At what I'm asking, you're quite adept
But at coming on time you're quite inept
Again and again you tell me "I overslept"
When you accept a responsibility
One which is well within your capability
You're young, with no excuse for senility
You mess up, and don't expect hostility?
I offer a favor and you say yes
You show up at my door, quite a mess
"That favor?! That's quite in excess"
"And taking advantage of my largess"
You then ask me for a favor
"Only 20 minutes" seeing me waver
"Please, you'd be a life saver"
3 hours later, "Yes, you should quaver!"
The same guy it was every time
Guilty of the same darn crime
I continue to answer the phone chime
Because as a friend, he is sublime
For a favor, please don't offer or ask
Then not do it, or do it half-assed
Ask me, knowing I'm not up to the task
I swear, you're sending me to the flask
You're a good friend, you really are
Which is why I find it really bizarre
That with favors you're way below par
But aside from that, I know we'll go far
Good friends one hopes to keep for life
Even when they are a cause of strife
They may help you find your wife
They'll also, generally, listen to you feif*
*Whistle in Yiddish (in context, vent)
1. Is is supposed to be your wife or you're wife?
And some folks are just forgetful or lazy and unreliable. That doesn't mean they mean to be. (It's another thing entirely to ignore someone.)
2. I wrote you're? Never. Now that I've fixed it I can say that. Thanks for letting me know. How embarrassing.
I didn't mean to say that what you're going through and what happened with me are on the same level. I had no intention of doing so and I'm sorry for suggesting as such. I meant that regardless of the severity of what was or wasn't done to me, I would address it and not let it slide.
3. Lost and Found would NOT make a grammar mistake if he can help it. Lol.
Good poem! I learned some Yiddish today.
It's great that you're using this blog as an outlet to vent. Frankly, that's one of the main uses of blogs. I hope your friend realizes that he has slighted you and that the relationship mends soon.
1. Haha! True. I can't remember the last time I made that mistake. It's the poem's fault.
Thanks. I think I've exhausted my knowledge of Yiddish. The rest you've probably heard or read about before.
Ya, on my journey to "Learning to say Nothing" I realized that this is a great way to vent. I made it very clear that he was testing my patience, but we hashed it out at the time and I've moved on. He understood my frustration, apologized profusely and our relationship hasn't been affected, Thank God. I had started writing about it at the time that it happened and noticed it the other day so finished it and, voila.
4. This one made me a giggle a tad-- I love the consistent rhyming...
And I totally know what you mean... it's hard to do for others and not be treated kindly in return, for something big or small... it's the balance of the world and it's uncomfortable when it;s broken... I've always found it hard to rely on others to follow through... that's when I sort of let go and let G-d... He usually picks up the slack :)
1. Thanks!
I'm happy to be a giving person of my time, but it's difficult to maintain when others don't reciprocate the rare time they're asked.

Boston Weather
Updated: 2014-07-16 / (bostonusa.com)
With four distinct seasons, Boston's weather is forever changing. The statewide weather motto is: If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes.
Summer can be delightful with the ocean breezes helping keep the humid temps in control. Evening temperatures can be cool and may require a light sweater. And a pop up thunderstorm is not uncommon, so you may want to include an umbrella in your bag. Summers average high temperatures in July are above 80 °F (26.7 °C) and overnight lows above 60 °F (15.5 °C)
Winter rears it's head with cooler temperatures and a potential for snow fall December thru March. Winters are cold, but generally less extreme on the coast with high temperatures in the winter averaging above freezing even in January, although areas further inland will be colder. Don't forget to pack your heavy coat, hat and maybe a pair of boots.
Spring is a welcomed season as temperatures start to rise and the growing season begins. But, don't forget a jacket and an umbrella, as the growing season also means moisture is in the air.
Fall boasts crisp, cooling temperatures as Mother Nature displays her glorious colors in our foliage. Grab that heavier sweater and maybe a scarf so you can enjoy a stroll through the park.
Whatever the season, there's plenty to do - Enjoy the water and dining alfresco in the summer, go indoors to a museum or theatre show in the winter months, experience the walking tours and trails in the spring and fall. Just enjoy all that Boston has to offer!

Why Going Mask Optional is the Right Thing to do
Celina Savage weighs in on Mount Greylock’s decision to go mask optional.
Celina Savage
The Mount Greylock mask mandate is being lifted on Monday, March 14th. Since the pandemic is close to coming full circle, almost exactly two years after it began affecting our Berkshire community on the infamous March 13th, I thought that it would be an appropriate time to share my two cents on the changing mask policy.
Being mask optional will certainly change our interactions socially, but what I am hoping for is a large improvement in our collective mental well-being as students.
When I put on my mask to go to school, a place where people’s mental health tends to worsen regardless of COVID-19, the feeling of my continuous breath hitting my face increases my anxiety and mental health immensely. I am incredibly pro-mask in terms of safety and I understand and feel the anxieties of this optional change, but at the end of the day, there is scientifically not much more to do for this pandemic (if you are vaccinated. If not…get one!). I think that, in the scheme of things, we just have to find a way to live with this reality as a community. It will be a shift, undoubtedly an anxiety provoking one, especially for those that are immunocompromised, but being mask optional is, at the end of the day, a positive advancement for our community.
This previous weekend, I went to a very large volleyball tournament in Boston and the last two days were mask optional. It was an adjustment, but I quickly remembered how that is the normal. Despite getting used to masks, masks are not our baseline.
It was really incredible to have the ability to express myself fully and easily (facial expression wise). I am excited to see everyones full faces next Monday (if they choose to remove their masks).

On Line Since 1992 Round Rock Texas USA
Dear Friends,
Lemme let you in on my short list. It starts with The Window at Big Bend, which in and of itself is proof of God.
Every little part of Texas feels special.
Every person who ever flew over the Lone Star thinks of Bandera or Victoria or Manor or wherever they call "home" as the best little part of the best state. So I got to thinkin about it, and here's what I really want to say.
Last year, I talked about all the great places and great heroes who make Texas what it is. I talked about Willie and Waylon and Michael Dell and Michael DeBakey and my Dad and LBJ and Denton Cooley. I talked about everybody that came to mind. It took me sitting here tonight reading this stack of emails and thinking about where I've been and what I've done since the last time. I wrote on this occasion to remind me what it is about Texas that is really great. You see, this last month or so I finally went to Europe for the first time. I hadn't ever been, and didn't too much want to. But you know all my friends are always talking about "the time they went to Europe." So, I finally went.
But let me tell you what, they all came up with a smile on their faces. You know why? They knew for sure that I was gonna be nice to em. They knew it cause they knew I was from Texas. They knew something that hadn't even hit me. They knew Texans, even though they'd never met one. That's when it occurred to me. Do you know what is great about Texas? Do you know why when my friend Beverly and I were trekking across country to see 15 baseball games we got sick and had to come home after 8? Do you know why every time I cross the border I say, "Lord, please don't let me die in _____"? Do you know why children in Japan can look at a picture of the great State and know exactly what it is about the same time they can tell a rhombus from a trapezoid? I can tell you that right quick.
The fact that you would take 15 minutes out of your day to read this, because that's what Texas means to you, that's what makes Texas what it is. The fact that when you see the guy in front of you litter you honk and think, "Hey, you littering on MY highway." When was the last time you went to a person's house in New York and you saw a big map of New York on their wall? That was never. When did you ever drive through Oklahoma and see their flag waving on four businesses in a row? Can you even tell me what the flag in Louisiana looks like? I danged sure can't. But I bet you can't drive 20 minutes from your house and not see a business that has a big Texas flag as part of its logo. If you haven't done business with someone called All Tex something or Lone Star somebody or other, or Texas such and such, you hadn't lived here for too long.
Remind the person in the cube next to you that he wouldn't be here enjoying this if it weren't for Sam Houston, and if he or she doesn't know the story, tell them. When William Barrettt Travis wrote in 1836 that he would never surrender and he would have Victory or Death, what he was really saying was that he and his men were forged of a hotter fire. They weren't your average everyday men. Well, that is what it means to be a Texan. It meant it then, and that's why it means it today. It means just what all those people North of the Red River accuse us of thinking it means. It means there's no mountain that we can't climb. It means that we can swim the Gulf in the winter. It means that Earl Campbell ran harder and Houston is bigger and Dallas is richer and Alpine is hotter and Stevie Ray was smoother and God vacations in Texas. It means that come hell or high water, when the chips are down and the Good Lord is watching, we're Texans, and just like in 1836, that counts for something. So for today at least, when your chance comes around, go out and prove it. It's true because we believe it's true. If you are sitting wondering what the hell I'm talking about, this ain't for you. But if the first thing you are going to do when the Good Lord calls your number is find the men who sat in that tiny mission in San Antonio and shake their hands, then you're the reason I wrote this tonight, and this is for you.
So until next time you hear from me, God Bless and Happy Texas Independence Day. May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings, slow to make enemies and quick to make friends. But, rich or poor, quick or slow, may you know nothing but happiness from this day forward.

Super Thin and Strong Graphene-based Circuits
Integrated circuits, which are in everything from coffeemakers to computers and are patterned from perfectly crystalline silicon, are quite thin—but Cornell researchers think they can push thin-film boundaries to the single-atom level.
Their materials of choice are graphene, single atom-thick sheets of repeating carbon atoms, and hexagonal boron nitride, similarly thin sheets of repeating boron and nitrogen atoms. Researchers led by Jiwoong Park, assistant professor of chemistry and chemical biology, have invented a way to pattern single atom films of graphene and boron nitride, an insulator, without the use of a silicon substrate. The work is detailed in an article in the journal Nature, published online Aug. 30.
The technique, which they call patterned regrowth, could lead to substrate-free, atomically thin circuits—so thin, they could float on water or through air, but with tensile strength and top-notch electrical performance.
As it turns out, researchers’ patterned regrowth, which harnesses the same basic photolithography technology used in silicon wafer processing, allows graphene and boron nitride to grow in perfectly flat, structurally smooth films—no creases or bumps, like a well-knitted scarf—which, if combined with the final, yet to be realized step of introducing a semiconductor material, could lead to the first atomically thin integrated circuit.
Simple really is beautiful, especially in the case of thin films, because photolithography is a well-established technique that forms the basis for making integrated circuits by laying materials, one layer at a time, on flat silicon.
The research team, which includes David A. Muller, professor of applied and engineering physics, is working to determine what material would best work with graphene boron nitride thin films to make up the final semiconducting layer that could turn the films into actual devices.
The team was helped by already being skilled at making graphene—still relatively new in the materials world—as well as Muller’s expertise in electron microscopy characterization at the nanoscale. Muller helped the team confirm that the lateral junctions of the two materials were, indeed, smooth and well connected.

Do I Have To Provide Certain Employees Overtime Pay?
| Dec 15, 2014 | Uncategorized
In terms of employee pay in White Plains, New York, often times, employers get caught up in legal requirements that they were unaware of. For example, there are certain wage and reporting requirements in terms of keeping documentation and providing written notification to employees of their rate of pay as well as their overtime rate of pay, some employees are paid on an hourly basis and some are paid on a salaried or an annual basis and there is often a misconception that is you receive a straight salary that you are not entitled to overpay and that’s not always accurate. Employers need to understand that the wage and overtime laws are really very technical and very complicated in terms of who is entitled to over pay and who is not. A lot of time there are gray areas regarding whether a particular employee falls within the area of an exemption of the overtime laws or whether they are actually required to be paying that employee overtime. In the event that you are mistaken whether your mistake is intentional or inadvertent, you could be subjected to some serious fines from New York’s state department labor laws as well as the fairness labor standard act divisions in the form of what we call liquidated damages, you could be subjected also to paying the attorneys fees of the employee council, if that employee brings a successful claim against you for failure to pay overtime. If you have any doubt or question on whether or not you are required to pay a particular employee overtime, you should absolutely seek legal advice in order to determine that. Simple research can be done with specific cases to back up your analysis of the matter and determine with finality whether or not you are required to pay that employee overtime. Sometimes, overtime issues can span the life of six years, six years of failing to pay overtime can also subject you to a very large damage award at the end of the day. As I mentioned there is the liquidated damages and attorney fees provisions, so it’s really critical that you make sure you are complying with the wage and overtime laws. If you are having an employee work more than 40 hours a week or in certain circumstances 44 hours a week that are required to, then trigger those overtime provisions.

Don't Make This Silly Mistake With Your MLB중계
Rafting the river rapids is A serious adrenaline hurry. In case you will hit the rapids, you have to know a few of the essential language thrown all around within the sport.
As with any Activity, it helps to have a simple knowledge of the applications on the trade, tactics and this sort of. Not merely does this make it easier to audio like you recognize what you're undertaking, but it really actually offers you some Perception into the method. Lets Look into a few of the key parts.
Dry Bag A dry bag is really a water-resistant bag you are able to retain matters in to the raft including wallets, keys and these kinds of. Water will almost certainly get all around the boat, so think about your self warned. Most whitewater rafting businesses give them with visits.
CFS This abbreviation refers to cubic feet for every second, a measure from the speed and ferocity of the current. The more cubic ft of h2o shifting for each next, the more aggressive the rapids and, in my humble feeling, the more pleasurable!
Eddie An eddie is an area the place The present stops or heads again up stream. This generally takes place around the down present-day aspect of boulders. It can be a very good position to gather yourself for the next rapids.
Gradient This time period refers back to the standard verticality of your river. The upper the gradient, the steeper the river is. This larger gradient usually means faster water and usually a more exhilarating trip.
Hydraulic Also referred to as a gap or various cuss terms, a hydraulic is a location where by drinking water is super turbulent and can suck your raft beneath if adequate in dimension. It is usually uncovered at the bottom of the fall or behind a substantial impediment where the gradient is high as well as CFS is big.
Swift This is often why you live to whitewater raft. Rapids are turbulent regions of the water which 스포츠중계 provides the sport its title. You pop in, out, in excess of and every which way via them.
Life-Jacket A flotation unit. Don them usually. Dont endeavor to be great. If you get thrown in the raft, which may come about, these will conserve you. This is particularly legitimate if you smack your head on something.
This short listing of conditions should provide you with a head get started on having fun with your vacation. Get around and fling on your own down one among Mother Natures roller coasters.

Warner Bros. and Alex Wong—Getty Images
By Ashley Ross
October 31, 2016
It didn’t take long for Harry Potter fans to compare Donald Trump to Lord Voldemort, the villainous wizard of the Potter universe who made a name for himself using dark magic and xenophobia. Even Potter creator J.K. Rowling, who’s never been afraid to voice her political opinion on Twitter, chimed in after Trump’s call late last year to ban Muslims from entering the U.S.—saying Trump was actually worse than Voldemort. But it took young, liberal Potter fans longer to draw another campaign connection: Hillary Clinton, meet your Harry Potter doppelgänger, Hermione Granger.
Granger, one of the heroes of the series, is the female know-it-all witch who’s introduced in the first Potter book as having “a bossy sort of voice.” Hours before the first presidential debate last month, Paul DeGeorge, a 37-year-old conceptual artist and activist in Kansas, officially debuted a redesign for a website he runs that once bore the name “Nerds for Obama.” It’s now “Nerds for Her,” a site dedicated to framing Clinton’s narrative around popular fictional series like Potter, Game of Thrones and Captain America—and selling paraphernalia to match.
“I, like most people, have had a perception of Hillary that’s been made by a sexist and patriarchal narrative that she’s been victim of,” DeGeorge says. Amid a campaign season that has seen Trump frequently interrupt Clinton at debates, DeGorge adds: “Like Hermione is always the smartest person in the room but gets talked over, so is Hillary.”
DeGeorge was a supporter of Bernie Sanders during the Democratic primary. He says he decided to relaunch his Obama site for Clinton when he realized that one of Clinton’s slogans, “I’m With Her,” sounds a lot like “I’m With Hermione.”
Elizabeth Minkel, a journalist who covers various fan communities and co-hosts the podcast Fansplaining, made a similar connection.
“Just think about the way Harry Potter and Ron [Weasley] talk about Hermione in the first book,” Minkel says. “She’s the most annoying person, she’s the teacher’s pet, she’s deeply frustrating to them and, you know, by the end of the first book she’s indispensable.”
Some die-hard supporters of Sanders or third-party candidates didn’t hide their frustrations with DeGeorge’s site switchover. He saw this firsthand when he rebooted the Nerds for Obama Facebook page as Nerds for Her. He once had more than 10,000 fans but lost about 6% of them after the switch. “Nerds get behind Jill and get all your Nerd and non Nerd friends behind Jill,” one commented, referring to Green Party candidate Jill Stein. “A vote for Hill is a vote for Trump.”
“I knew there were a lot of people who were dedicated Obama supporters who were not interested in supporting Hillary, but I find it disheartening that there could be such a tremendous threat to democracy and people would be willing to fixate on, like, what I would say are pretty minor differences between a candidate they supported four years ago and the candidate running now.”
So, DeGeorge recruited various experts in the fandom field to try to retell Hillary’s story through posts on Tumblr, fan fiction and the merchandise on his site, which ties Star Wars, Captain America, Hamilton, Doctor Who and other fandoms to Clinton. Alyssa Franke, who runs a Whovian Feminism blog on Tumblr and Twitter, volunteered to work alongside DeGeorge to get her followers excited about Clinton.
“Fans have always drawn parallels between the pop culture they love and the world around them, and Nerds for Her makes those parallels more explicit and directed by connecting a presidential candidate we love with the pop culture we enjoy,” Franke says “I could go on for days about all of Hillary’s policies that I like and all the ways that I think she will make our country better, but sometimes it helps to be able to draw that emotional connection to heroines we love and admire.”
Nerds for Her is a for-profit LLC that DeGeorge set up with $10,000 of his own money. For now, he’s trying to break even with what he invested, using money from merchandise sales to get there. DeGeorge is also sending volunteers to nerd conventions across the country and is partnering with the super PAC Not Who We Are, which serves as a hub for groups, companies and organizations to publish open letters rejecting Trump.
DeGeorge is no stranger to fandom, political activism or tying the two together. He launched a band called Harry and the Potters in 2002, and in 2005, co-founded the Harry Potter Alliance, a nonprofit organization that ties fans to activism. He still serves on the Board of Directors. Rowling called the Harry Potter Alliance “incredible” in a 2007 interview with TIME, going on to say: “What did my books preach against throughout? Bigotry, violence, struggles for power, no matter what.”
The Potter politics connection isn’t new, it’s just more palpable this election cycle. Aside from Rowling’s Voldemort-Trump comparison, other stars have spoken up, too. Jason Isaacs, who played Lucius Malfoy in the Potter films, didn’t shy away from tweeting about the first debate, and Daniel Radcliffe even commented on what Trump and Voldemort have in common. Most recently, Emma Watson—who played Hermione in the Potter films—posted on Instagram and Twitter about how the upcoming election “will have ripple effects around the world.” With the recent release of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child—a book version of London’s West End play based on a story by Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany—Rowling only continued the political storyline, presenting Harry and friends as overworked employees of the Ministry of Magic, the main governing body of the wizarding world.
If DeGeorge has his way—and Clinton has hers—this election will mirror Rowling’s narrative. After all, as was revealed in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, it was Hermione Granger who grew up to become the Minister of Magic.

Antigua murder: British government faces row over death penalty for shooting
The British demand to its former colony is understood to have annoyed Antigua’s leadership. Eight years ago, the two countries clashed diplomatically after the UK tried to stop the execution of Steadroy McDougal for the murder of a Scottish woman and her boyfriend.??
With Antiguan police struggling to find suspects in the shooting of Catherine and Benjamin Mullany, Britain has decided to dispatch a team of detectives despite the absence of any death penalty guarantee.
However, the Foreign Office has made clear in strong terms to the Antiguans that it does not expect anyone convicted as a result of a British investigation to face capital punishment.
A Foreign Office spokesman said that, “in parallel” to the investigation, “we will continue to seek assurances from the Antiguan government that anyone found guilty will not face the death penalty”.
Mr ??Spencer appealed earlier this week for Scotland Yard to send officers to help in the case and provide wider support in clearing up a large backlog of unsolved crimes on the Caribbean island.??
Mrs Mullany, a 31-year-old doctor from south Wales, and her husband, a 31-year-old physiotherapist, were both shot in the head in their hotel room in the early hours of Sunday morning last weekend.
She died instantly while her husband was left brain dead.?? They were staying in a cottage at the Cocos Hotel, a popular honeymoon destination, which sits in an isolated corner of the south west of the island
Local police have yet to make any arrests but Western interference in Antigua’s police and justice systems is a highly contentious issue in the country.
Its current government has already been accused of being too ready to seek help western help when it hired four retired Canadian police men six months ago to reform its shambolic police force.
While the death sentence still exists in Antigua, following an intervention by the Privy Council in London in 2000, the sentence must be carried out within five years of conviction.
However, as the appeals process always takes longer than that, the sentence has not been enforced since the legal change.

Larson Blasts Efforts to Undermine Healthcare for Seniors
Press Release
Location: Washington, DC
Says Attempts to Defund ACA Threaten Current Medicare Beneficiaries
Today, Congressman John B. Larson released the following statement on efforts by House Republican leadership to disrupt the Affordable Care Act. To date, the Republican controlled House has attempted to repeal or defund the Affordable Care Act more than 40 times, threatening care and services for millions of Americans.
"Attempts by House Republican leadership to disrupt healthcare have gone well beyond a political exercise in futility. Now, with this latest effort to defund the Affordable Care Act by threatening to shut down the federal government, the Republican Congress threatens to wreck healthcare for a third of all Americans including our seniors.
"By defunding the Affordable Care Act and shutting down the federal government, Republican leadership would effectively disrupt payments to Medicare providers and Medicare advantage plans for millions of seniors and increase out-of-pocket costs. In addition, defunding would also weaken our efforts to reduce fraud in our healthcare system and eliminate new prescription drug coverage and preventative care under Medicare.
"The Republican Congress cannot continue to make idle threats when the care of our seniors and millions of Americans hangs in the balance. It's long overdue that we move forward to put our country back to work and deal with the issues that matter to the American people."

Brainwashed Urges Students to Ignore RIAA Threats
This week the RIAA sent out hundreds of letters to colleges and universities across the USA saying their students can "settle" with the RIAA or face a lawsuit (Reuters). Brainwashed, in turn, urges colleges and universities and their students to ignore such absurd scare tactics.
First take a look at what the RIAA really is: it's a trade organization run by lawyers to represent four corporations who operate in the USA. THAT'S IT! It does not represent the bulk of the music that is being produced worldwide, nor should it have as much influence over laws as it does. At one time it was six companies and it will become three as soon as EMI, already practically on life support, finally kicks the bucket (UPI).
Now, consider this, as explained in The RIAA vs. John Doe (Digital Music Weblog), there is no way for the RIAA to prove their case in any court with the evidence that they can collect.
So the question emerges: "what the hell are they trying to do here?" Possible answers are "it's a publicity stunt to get more people investing in their junk stocks" (see EMI Shares Tumble, AP); "it's yet another scare tactic" (ex: Grokster); or possibly they are finally ready to put themselves completely out of business. (Allegedly major label sales plummited 23 percent from 2003 so it won't be long till there's no major labels at this rate.)
The music industry will continue and the RIAA will be dead before long: judges are throwing out lawsuits, forcing the RIAA to pay wrongfully accused defendant's legal fees, and even the government is tired of this bullshit and trying to pass a new Fair Use Bill, (Wired). This all costs loads of money they simply no longer have.
So, college students, and everybody else reading this: download away. Downloading isn't illegal (The Guardian). Sharing without permission might be, so we won't recommend doing that! We'll leave that to the big media corporations like Rolling Stone, Spin, or Pitchfork who are known to be the ones who leak the albums months before they are released, but you know no RIAA lawsuit has been filed yet on their precious, precious press.

Review of the Day
Ron Morelli, "Spit"
cover image
This is kind of an excitedly anticipated album in some circles, as it is the first solo release from the man behind the influential L.I.E.S. imprint. Morelli's resume is deceptive, however, as Spit is a very backwards-looking, primitive affair rather than a dispatch from the cutting edge or a bold statement of intent. That said, it is still quite a likable one–it just sounds more like a home-recorded industrial experiment from early '80s Sheffield or Manchester than anything resembling underground dance music circa 2013.

imageTuna and other top predators could run out of food in warming seas. Tuna image from www.shutterstock.com
Some of the ocean’s top predators, such as tuna and sharks, are likely to feel the effects of rising carbon dioxide levels more heavily compared other marine species.
That’s just one of the results of a study published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
Over the past five years we’ve seen a significant increase in research on ocean acidification and warming seas, and their effect on marine life. I and my colleague Sean Connell looked at these studies to see if we could find any overarching patterns.
We found that overall, unfortunately, the news is not good for marine life, and if we do nothing to halt climate change we could lose habitats such as coral reefs and see the weakening of food chains which support our fisheries.
Acidifying and warming oceans
Humans have been adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere largely through burning fossil fuels. Under a worst-case scenario, without doing anything to stop increasing emissions, we’d expect concentrations of carbon dioxide to reach around 1,000 parts per million by the end of the century.
This increase in greenhouse gases is “acidifying” the oceans. It’s happening now. Carbon dioxide concentrations have reached around 400 parts per million, compared with around 270 parts per million before the industrial revolution.
This extra carbon dioxide, when it dissolves into the seas, is reducing the pH of the oceans – that is, making them more acidic.
Many ocean creatures, particularly those that build habitats such as corals and shellfish, make skeletons out of calcium carbonate, which they get from ions dissolved in sea water.
When carbon dioxide dissolves in seawater, it makes these calcium carbonate ions harder for marine life to collect and turn into skeletons. It’s like a person going on a diet without calcium.
At first this results in marine life producing brittle skeletons, but can ultimately lead to the skeletons dissolving.
A calcium-free diet
Many studies have looked at what will happen to these lifeforms that produce skeletons, but we wanted to look at how rising carbon dioxide would affect the ocean at a broader scale.
We analysed more than 600 experiments on ocean acidification and warming seas.
Overall it seems warming temperatures and acidifying oceans will have a negative effect on species and ecosystems. This means reduced growth, abundance, and diversity of marine species.
We also found these results were mostly consistent across latitudes - they weren’t just limited to tropical oceans.
The oceans will warm as they acidify, so it’s important to look at these two changes together. Previous analyses typically looked at specific life stages or different ecosystems.
It’s likely that acidification will interact with warming to have a worse effect. For instance, if you would see a 20% reduction in calcification rates because of rising temperatures, and a 25% reduction in calcification because of acidification, then the combined reduction might be 60%. We see these effects regularly in the studies we looked at.
Of course not every species will show the same response. We expect some species to be able to acclimate or adapt to changes, particularly over longer time periods perhaps like a couple of decades. For example, a recent study on a coral living in a tropical lagoon found it has some capacity to adapt. We found that more generalist species like microorganisms seem to be doing particularly well under climate change, and also some fish species at the bottom of the food chain may show increases in their populations.
Changing whole ecosystems
Most worrying are not only the changes to individual species but also whole ecosystems.
We found that reef habitats are vulnerable: coral reefs, but also temperate reefs built by molluscs such as oysters and mussels. A lot of shallow temperate waters used to have oysters reefs, but there are few natural reefs remaining.
There are also cold-water reefs formed by other species of coral, which grow slowly over thousands of years in the cooler temperatures. In our analysis we found that acidification could cause these habitats to show reduced growth. These habitats are often located in deep waters and are very sensitive to human impacts.
We also found that these changes affect whole ocean food webs.
We found that warmer temperatures mean more phytoplankton - the tiny plant-like lifeforms that form the basis of many ocean food chains. This means more food for grazing species that feed on phytoplankton.
Warmer temperatures also mean faster metabolisms, which require more food. However this didn’t translate into higher growth rates in grazing species. That’s fatal because the next level up in the food chain (the species that eat the grazing animals) would have less food, but still need more food because of faster metabolisms.
This effect is expected to become stronger as you go up the food chain, so predatory species like tuna, sharks, and groupers will be the species that would feel the strongest effects.
These species are also threatened by overfishing, which adds another level of stress. Overfishing alters important food web interactions (e.g. top-down control of prey species) and may also reduce the gene pool of potentially strong individuals or species that could form the next generation of more resilient animals. And this is on top of other threats such as pollution and eutrophication.
Therein lies an opportunity. We cannot change climate change (or ocean acidification) in the short term. But if we can mitigate the effects of overfishing and other human stressors we can potentially buy some time for various species to adapt to climate change.
Species can genetically adapt to changes over geological timescales of thousands of years - as we can see from modern species' survival over many ups and downs in the climate. But the changes we have wrought on the oceans will take place over decades - not even one generation of a long-lived sea turtle or shark.
With such fast changes, many species in the ocean will likely be unable to adapt.

As I put all the emergency supplies in a sturdy bag, and put it in a place that we all agree is the best spot for an earthquake disaster. Gas from a ruptured supply line burns as water from a broken water main floods Balboa Boulevard in the Granada Hills area of Los Angeles Monday morning, Jan.
Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti unveiled a new earthquake preparedness plan for Los Angeles Monday that he said would help the nation's second biggest city absorb the shock of the major earthquake that all experts agree is inevitable.
Experts agree that the West Coast will someday endure a seismic event many times more powerful than the 1994 Northridge quake that killed dozens or the 1989 Bay Area quake that stopped the World Series. The plan announced Monday concedes some of the vulnerabilities that first responders and other government officials identified to NBC News and attempts to address them, and also details just how severe shortages could become. The Santa Monica Freeway split and collapsed over La Cienega Boulevard following the Northridge, California earthquake in the predawn hours of Jan.
Prior to Garcetti's announcement, experts had warned NBC News that the power grid was susceptible to long-term outages, and that fire departments would run out of water to fight fires. The new plan recommends protecting the electric power grid at the fault lines that crisscross Southern California, and also recommends additional measures to protect the water supply.

Law enforcement sources also told NBC News that first responders for both Los Angeles County and the City of Los Angeles have not been provided with essential supplies for their families. There is also not yet any mass casualty plan for Los Angeles County that is specific to earthquakes, meaning a plan for dealing with the thousands of injuries and fatalities feared in a major event. The city's water supply was shut off following theA earthquake.Many parts of the country remain without water or electricity, and dozens of strong aftershocks continue to shake the disaster zone, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Geological Survey has reported that dozens of aftershocks have struck Chile, some as high as magnitude 6.9. Although certain states, such as California, are more prone to experience earthquakes than other states are, the fact is that no one is safe from their devastation. Estimated fatalities in some of the scenarios for metropolitan Los Angeles range into the thousands, with water and electricity shortages affecting millions and property damage in topping a trillion dollars. Officials project up to 1600 fires in Los Angeles alone, in a region already parched by an historic drought. It also recommends creating an alternate water supply from seawater and recycled water specifically to fight fires.
Experts warn that many firetrucks, which get 2.5 to 4 miles a gallon, will simply run out of gas. Lack of batteries, water, and first aid could hinder their deployment in the critical first 72 hours. An earthquake may occur anywhere in the United States at any time, and the most effective way to minimize the destruction they can cause is to be prepared and to understand what to do when they occur.Earthquakes are the result of the movement of the tectonic plates and the shifting of enormous masses of matter in and under the earth’s crust. The Northridge earthquake was felt over a broad area of Southern California, causing widespread death and destruction. The tectonic plates form the surface of the planet, and they have been shifting for many, many years. When this energy grows stronger than the matter locking the plates together, it is released and has the potential to cause massive damage.Have an Earthquake Preparedness PlanBy having an earthquake preparedness plan, you can minimize the damage to your property and belongings, reduce the risk of injuries and fatalities, and shorten the time it takes to recover and restore your life to normal. Secure Your Home for EarthquakesThe shaking and rattling of an earthquake can easily rearrange all of your furniture and decor into a mass of broken, overturned pieces.
In a study conducted by the University of California, Los Angeles, approximately 55 percent of earthquake injuries are caused by falling objects.The easiest way to start is by moving tall and top-heavy furniture away from beds, couches and anywhere people may be sitting, sleeping or otherwise off their feet.
If your request is refused, you may want to consider moving into a home that is more secure.2. Gather Emergency SuppliesEmergency supplies are essential to staying safe and healthy after a major earthquake occurs.
Safeguard Important DocumentsTo ease recovery after a major earthquake and to help emergency workers, it makes good sense to safeguard important documents. These documents can be kept in a waterproof, fireproof safe or stored in a safety deposit box.

PRASM up 25% in June for US carriers
In the middle of the second quarter US airline reporting season, the Air Transport Association reported that passenger revenues for US carriers jumped 25% year-on-year in Jun-2010, marking the sixth consecutive month of revenue growth. For the 12 months ended Jun-2010, passenger revenue was approximately 0.5% greater than calendar year 2000 levels.
ATA yield growth: Jun-2008 to Jun-2010
“It is clear from these positive results that the recovering US economy is enabling airlines to dig out from the very deep hole of a year ago,” said ATA President and CEO James May.
The 12-month moving averages show clear upward trends from lows established in early 2011.
ATA yield: 12 months moving average
Approximately 1.4% more passengers traveled on US airlines in June while the average price to fly one mile rose 20%. International passenger revenue rose 38%, led by massive gains in trans-Pacific markets.
Increased international trade drove cargo growth with cargo revenue ton miles, rise 22% year on year (7% domestically and 35% internationally) in May 2010. June 2010 cargo data is not yet available.

Pricing too high from the start
Homes priced correctly when they first hit the market generally sell closer to the asking price than homes that start to high, then have to adjust downward.
Not basing your price on sold homes
Remember, homes can be listed for any amount. What is most relevant is not the "asking" price but the "sold" price of nearby homes.
"Emotional Value" vs. "Market Value"
Of course, it's your home and you likely have many great memories that were experienced there. keep in mind that potential buyers won't have the same sentimental feelings for your home as you do. Try to stay as objective as you can during the process and it will help you meet your goals.
Refusing to negotiate
Your asking price may want to have some amount of built-in flexibility so you can entertain offers. Keep in mind, even a low offer can be the beginning of a negotiation.

Splitting the bill -- tipping question
• a
When you go out for a meal with someone, do you add the tax/tip of what you owe when paying or do you split the total bill's tax/tip evenly with the other person, even if he/she owes significantly more than you on the meal?
1. Click to Upload a photo (10 MB limit)
1. if you're splitting, the split includes the tip&tax. typically, the only way to separate out things is to separate the bar/beer/wine bill from the food bill. But not the tip/tax from the food.

1. re: Karl S
Thanks. I guess I don't mean splitting in the 50/50 sense, but rather if I owe $25 on a $75 bill and my friend owes the other $50, I'd expect to pay tax/tip on the $25 while he cover the rest from his portion. My friend expected that we split the tax/tip on the $75 equally. I wasn't sure which is the norm.
1. re: arvi
Friend's like that who needs enemies.
1. re: arvi
I have split the bill many times with other people. We always 'split the difference', 50-50.
However in any dinner situation, there is a variance of less than $10 dollars usually. So, I never quibble, ever.
However, your case sounds very odd to me. It's very wide difference in a meal tab.
I would give what I felt is fair.
1. re: mcel215
You dine in a rare group. I've often seen much greater differentials in different groups. People eating one or two less courses, people who are not drinking alcoholic beverages (for a variety of perfectly valid reasons), et cet. But we've had many hashings out of the etiquette of even splitting in other threads.
1. re: Karl S
I suppose...... ? But, I no longer go out with business people, just really good friends. Perhaps, that may be the difference Karl.
1. re: mcel215
Mine are almost always friends, but people have different diets, appetites, prescriptions, whatever. There's a lot more variety.
2. re: arvi
Your expectation is the norm for that scenario.
1. re: arvi
Your "friend" has quite a nice racket going. Free money if they go to dinner with you.
1. re: arvi
You are correct. You should tip on the amount of your share.
2. Splitting the tax and tip on the entirety of a meal when there's a $25 difference in orders makes no sense.
Mathematics is your friend in this case. Your friend's effort to simplify things is actually rude and reeks of being cheap. It's perfectly alright to whip out a calculator at this point.
1. When we go out nowadays, the bill (and tip or service charge) is invariably divided equally amongst the payers. It matters not that I don't drink alcohol and rarely have dessert - or that someone else has had chicken, while I've had the most expensive steak on the menu. We are friends or family - simple as that.
When I was working, there were a number of tight-fisted, mean-spirited colleagues who would always resist this equal distribution - saying " I only had one drink and no dessert". Great fun evenings they were with this bunch of no-mark tossers. Not.

1. re: Harters
The most recent, I believe, flame-fest on this distinct albeit somewhat related topic, dormant for about 2 years:
1. re: Karl S
No intention of flaming. Just a statement of fact that the company I keep always splits evenly (and that I prefer that - even though most times it costs me more than a "fair share". And a statement of fact that I did not enjoy it when folk want to get out the calculators at the end of the meal. What other folk do with their friends/family/colleagues is entirely a matter for them.
1. re: Harters
I see. Well, your prior comment was overflowing with judgmentalism about other folks, so I just thought you might be interested in a thread where that was hashed out in finer detail.
1. re: Karl S
Well, no, not really interested in the opinions expressed two years by other people. But am interested in the opinions expressed on this thread, of course.
And, yes, absolutely judgemental about a couple of my former colleagues. I said "no-mark tossers" and I meant "no-mark tossers".
2. re: Harters
I totally agree Harters, not fun at all. And having it said "up front" would give those people who don't agree, to have a chance to turn down the invite....
1. re: Harters
I think some of us "no-mark tossers" are probably the ones who for whatever reason always order less than everyone else. It may make sense when your orders are different each time, but if you can't drink alcohol or have certain dietary restrictions that limit how much you can order, it gets tiring have to pay extra every time.
1. re: queencru
Agreed. I worked for a company where we had frequent company lunches at god-awful restaurants like buffets and pubs, and several of the high-paid managers would order multiple drinks while lowly peons like I would order an appetizer and a glass of water. At the end of the meal, the managers would try to split the bill evenly between the group. Thank goodness for my outspoken friend, who had no problems loudly and publically standing up to the managers on two occasions and boldly stating that no, she would not leave $25+ when her share came to $10 (which is what she put down): that's all it took to shame them out of it and establish it as the norm for everyone to pay their share.
And it's not like we could get out of it, because if we didn't go, we weren't being very team-oriented. *rolls eyes*
1. re: vorpal
In my experience, this egregious abuse is far more common than the occurrence of miserly fellow-guests who calculate their portion down to the nearest dime, nickel or penny.
2. Thanks everyone! I thought my way was the norm but just wanted to make sure I wasn't violating some social etiquette all these years. I tend to just pay what is asked since I don't want to quibble about it.
I understand the impulse to split equally, but I think it can be rather presumptuous when you're out with friends of varying means.
1. Dude, who's your friend? Bernie Madoff?
1. there are two aspects of your question:
1) how to split the tip with your friends.
to this, i say that it is idiosyncratic with each set of friends.
with some friends we always split everything 50-50.
with others there is a proration.
2) what would happen if i contributed as though there was a proration and my friend didn't pick up the slack?
i am EXTREMELY uncomfortable undertipping in a restaurant when the service is reasonable. i will pick up the slack every time if my dining partner doesn't 'do the right thing.'
i may not go out to eat with that 'friend' again, but i won't undertip.
it isn't the waiter's fault that the division of the tip isn't being worked out well by the parties doing the dining.
1. Two words: separate checks. I've never been to a restaurant that would not do that. Ever. You pay for and tip on what you ordered. Come on, be reasonable.
People who get one check and split it evenly however-many ways have more disposable income than I do.

1. re: Parrotgal
My restaurant won't do it on parties larger than four. It takes forever, and we're just too busy.
1. re: invinotheresverde
Yeah, I've been to several restaurants that won't split. There is a place down the street from where I work that absolutely refuses to split, even after much pleading. They won't even do multiple cards (i.e. if everyone just decided to split evenly) so either one person puts it all on their card or you pay the whole bill in cash. I don't have a problem with it--it's certainly their decision, I just don't go there if I know I'll be with a group that will have issues sorting out the bill.
1. re: pollymerase
jfood finds a restaurant not evenly dividing a bill as ludicrous as not writing and leaving the specials and prices with the customer. Total BS.
1. re: jfood
To paraphrase one soup nazi ... "No tip for you!"
1. re: jfood
Well, I recall how people from certain non-US cities tell that certain bill-splitting software is readily available that makes it a complete non-issue where they live. US restaurant habits are yet again retrograde due to inertia.
1. re: Karl S
That software exists in the U.S. as well.
Any corporate chain has it (e.g. Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden etc.).
Having gone to one too many "group" office lunches, there is NEVER an issue if you notify the server ahead of time.
2. If it is an uneven split, my friends and I take our pre-tax total and add 30% and toss it in the pile.
Tax in SoCal is close to 10% and then 20% for tip.
Perhaps we pay a few cents or a dollar more than we should but it's easy and no hassle.
1. OK this is slightly in another direction but when splitting the check (50/50) have you ever been asked how much you're tipping? That has happened to me on a couple of occasions and I never want to answer. I prefer to tip 20% standard and leave more for very good service but I am well aware that many people don't tip that way and I hardly want to pressure them. But what is the point of the question? It is just weird.

1. re: Kater
Happens all the time. first few times jfood was a little taken aback, but after that it is almost SOP.
1. re: Kater
Often, by close friends, and I prefer it: it is better to tip synchronize so that no one looks bad.
1. re: vorpal
Next time it happens I'm going to say 15% and then tip 30% and write 'Sorry my friend is so cheap' on the tab!
1. re: Kater
At restaurants that I love and frequent often, I'll do it to make sure that my friends tip sufficiently so as to not make me look bad, and if they insist on tipping low, I'll tip high to compensate. But LOL, your post gave me a nice chuckle :-).
2. re: Kater
This exact situation was one of the better jokes in the quasi-Seinfeld reunion on the last season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry David took Jason Alexander out to lunch, split the check, and got apoplectic trying to guess how much Jason tipped (which he wouldn't tell him) so he could tip the same amount and not look cheap.
