Dreams about Water: Meaning and Symbolism
Dreams about water are pretty standard. But some specific meanings and symbols remain hidden behind the dreams that you can not unravel. But we have put forward the following discussion about the implications, messages, and symbolism of dreams about water.
So, if you have been dreaming about water, follow the given discussion to unravel all the crucial interpretations and messages that you must be aware of.
General Meaning of Dreaming about Water
Water has a wide sphere of interpretations, and thus, it becomes essential for you to know about them, for they will give you a better idea about why you are dreaming about water and what is possibly going on in your life and mind. So, we will start our discussion of dreams about water by understanding the general interpretations of dreaming about water.
The self-evident meaning or interpretation of water that pops in our head whenever we think about it is that water gives us life. No life on this planet can survive without water. Therefore, the widespread interpretation of water dreaming might indicate the aspect of life or someone or something giving you energy.
This can indicate to a person who is one of the most critical persons in your life. You derive the reason to live and survive from that person. And the feelings and emotions intertwined with this person are powerful. Thus, it is getting reflected through the dreams about water.
It might also indicate that you are someone’s lifeline and someone values you as much as water is valued by life. So, if you have thought that you do not matter to anybody, or no one finds you worthy, then this is your message that you are valued by someone or more than one person who sees you as precious as the value of water in life.
There are several other interpretations about dreams about water, based on how pure the water is in your dreams, the emotions associated with your dreams, and other aspects. And that requires a detailed analysis of the dreams about water.
But, going into the detailed explanation of the dreams, we must understand two other factors related to the dreams about water. So, let us look into the two factors first, and then we would proceed with the detailed interpretation of the dreams about water.
Symbolic Meaning of Dreams about Water
Among the two factors to be discussed before the detailed analysis of dreams about water is the symbolic meaning of the dreams. So, let us now understand what symbolic interpretations the dreams about water carry.
Water has no shape; it takes the shape of the container it is poured in. This indicates a symbolic connotation of ambiguousness. The indication here is that you have the quality of taking the form of anything you are poured into. In other words, you have high adaptive skills.
No matter what the situation is, you can easily get adapted to the conditions of the problem and thrive well in it. The high skill of adaptability comes from accepting change and staying open to change yourself when needed. Thus, the dreams about water might indicate your quality of adaptivity and adaptation and how well you can thrive in any life situation.
Water is a fluid, it flows, and no matter what obstruction you put in front of it, it will curve and turn to keep flowing until it gets exhausted of its intensity and strength. This is yet another symbolic connotation. Harem, you get the indication of going with the flow. This is more of a message that you are receiving.
There is always a way of finding a solution to every problem. So, you must try to adjust yourself to the situation, and most importantly, you must not terminate your efforts. No matter what barriers are placed in front of you, it would be best if you always found a way to curve and slide past the wall and never stop instilling effort. So, it would be best if you always strived to find the answer to any hassle in your life and not stop doing so until you are completely exhausted.
Spiritual Meaning of Dreams about Water
The second factor that must be discussed before getting into the detailed analysis of the interpretation of the dreams about water is the spiritual meaning of dreams about water.
Your spiritual sphere of life plays a crucial role, with or without you knowing about it. So, you need to understand what spiritual meanings your dreams carry for you. So now, we will appreciate the symbolic interpretations of the dreams about water.
Water is the emblem of purity and transparency. Therefore, the spiritual indication from water dreams is purity and clarity. The message that you might be getting from the fantasies about water is that you must start making yourself pure from the inside out.
It might indicate your physical health, and thus, you must start taking care of your physical health. If you have been neglecting your health and safety, it is high time you start taking care of your health and safety. It might also indicate your mental health.
If you have been pressuring yourself mentally, it is time that you start taking things lightly on yourself. It would be best to start finding peace and serenity to help your mind achieve calmness and relaxation.
Along with these connotations, the water dreams might also indicate fertility. Therefore, you must start nurturing your spiritual path in life. Another ascot of water that must be pointed out is the transparency of water. Purity is one of the qualities that you must focus on.
Therefore, your mind and thoughts must be clear and transparent. There must not be any impurity in your ideas and motives. Try to be as okay with your intentions as possible. These messages will attract the best things to you in your life.
What do the Different Scenarios in the Dreams about Water Mean?
Now, we will be entering into a detailed analysis of the interpretations of the dreams about water. So, here are the different scenarios of dreams about water and their meanings, explanations, and messages.
• Dream about clear water
When you dream about clear water, it indicates the qualities of clarity and transparency. Therefore, the message you receive here is to maintain thoughts that give absolute clarity. In other words, it means that your motives and beliefs must not have hidden intentions. Your intentions must be pure and devoid of any impurity. Therefore, this is an important message for you to follow.
Another interpretation of this scenario about water dreaming can indicate purity and serenity. Therefore the message you receive here is to maintain good health, both physically and mentally. You must purify your thoughts and your body. Start living healthy and doing good deeds for others.
• Dream about dirty water
When you dream about dirty water, it might indicate contaminated thoughts and motives. If you have been planning about something that you know can hurt others physically or emotionally, this is your message to refrain from exciting that plan.
It would be best to remember that you will always receive everything you give. And if you share anything negative with others, you too will let that negativity back, in much larger intensity at some point in your life.
It might also impact the negative emotions that are filling up your mind. This is causing you to lack the positive thrust you need to keep going in your life. Thus, you are losing your motivation because of the contamination of the negative emotions in your mind.
So, you must not pay attention to your negative emotions or try to come to terms with them. As you come to terms with the negative feelings, you accept them and then try your best to shove them off your mind. This message is going to benefit you a lot in the future.
• Dream about flowing water
When you dream about flowing water, it indicates the quality of water not to stop until it reaches its destination. It suggests the fluidity of the water. Therefore, the message you receive here is that you must not stop installing the efforts in life. You might be encountering many hardships and challenging situations, but that must not be successfully stopping you from moving forward.
Keep believing in yourself that you have the potential to move forward no matter what difficulties lay in front of you. Just like water flows past every barrier by turn and swerves past them, you must also do the same with the challenges you face in your life.
Final Words
The dreams about water convey what is best to do in your life. If you abide by the messages you receive from the plans, you will receive the best life can give you. You have immense qualities in you that you are unaware of. You have plenty of emotions in yourself that you are unaware of. You have many such things processing in yourself that you are unaware of.
But your dress conveys all you need to know about yourself. So, embrace the messages and receive the abundance waiting for you!

ACLU’s website states:
Religious freedom is a fundamental human right that is guaranteed by the First Amendment's Free Exercise and Establishment clauses. It encompasses not only the right to believe (or not to believe), but also the right to express and to manifest religious beliefs.
The ACLU claims that this is a clear violation of the Constitution, which prohibits organized prayer in public school settings. I don’t remember that part of the Constitution ... it must be next to the Right to Privacy. Nevertheless, the courts have ruled upon it and banned teachers from praying with their students, even if they share the same faith and are in an optional enrichment class outside of school hours.
This is not an imposition of religion on anyone. The classes were not limited to Christians, or even only to those that attended the prayer meeting. Unless someone can produce some evidence for me proving that Principal Yon denied a request from Muslim/Jewish/Buddhist/insert-religion-of-choice parents requesting she organize a prayer meeting for them, I don’t see what the big deal is.
If it's such a big deal, I have a simple solution: School vouchers. Let the parents decide where their children should be educated. Let them find schools that are better tailored to their family’s needs and desires. Our one-size-fits-all approach to education is not working.
School choice works. Let the parents, not zip codes, determine where their children will learn. When families can pick the educational environment best for their children, the ACLU can spend its resources in better ways than attacking a principal trying to accommodate parents’ wishes and promote school morale.

Home sales and the economy...
So apparently the builder's don't get it, or at least that is the report from an article in the NYTimes. They realize there some issues, but they're blaming the press on the duration of it. Well...they need to get a grip on reality because here are the reasons for it:
1) The builders built too many houses.
2) The builders built too many expensive houses.
3) Buyers (in certain regions - e.g. Northern Virginia, Atlanta, California, etc.) have pushed the housing prices up and up and up, and created a bubble that is now deflating.
4) Mortgage lenders offer bad loans and qualified buyers they shouldn't have.
5) Some cities (e.g. Columbus, OH) decided to clean-up downtown and move the poor folk out by helping them get qualified for those bad loans, thus making them someone else's problem.
6) Some areas(e.g. Loudoun County, VA) decided to set building codes that pushed property values up, primarily to preserve their way of life - spacious housing.
7) The average buyer can no longer afford to buy a house, condo, townhouse, or even an apartment. So young families are in trouble of finding places to live where the parent(s) have a decent commute (1/2 hour or less) to work with a job(s) that pays well enough to support the family.
8) Established households can't afford to buy a new house where they live. (Several years ago I had one high up general manager where I work say that he couldn't afford to buy his own house if he had to.)
And the list goes on. However, the Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben S. Bernanke, seems to get it:
- Quote from this NY Times article.
Yes, the depression on housing is going to intensify - prices have to come down to where normal people can afford to buy a house - and by normal I mean people with a $50k a year salary that have little to no debt, save may be college debt, with a good credit score. When that happens, then expect the housing market to turn around, no sooner.
So what can the builders do to help? Tear down the multi-hundred-thousand dollar homes they've been building, cut the lots to a quarter acre - even a half acre - and then put up a more reasonable homestead that most people can afford. Make $300k the top end, and $120k the bottom end. Then work with lenders to provide good, solid loans that are not going to destroy people's credit (e.g. variable rate interest loans, interest only loans, etc.). And inform buyers that lenders will work with them to keep them from foreclosure. People will buy - but you have to make it a safe market to do so.
Right now, the market is not safe. Answer the big question - if I sell in 5 years (a lot of people do), then could I get my money out of it at the very least? Right now, the answer is a very flat, absolute, and resounding NO. Turn it into a 'yes' and people will buy. (My wife and I did not recently buy for that very reason; we opted to continue renting - why? we didn't know where we'd be in 5 years and might need to move out of state, so it was too risky for us to buy at present.)

Government's controversial Trade Union Bill returning to the Commons today
The government’s controversial assault on trade unions through their Trade Union Bill has caused much concern. I have received correspondence from my constituents expressing their worries for the future of trade unions and for the workers that they represent.
Today the Bill will return to the Commons following scrutiny by the House of Lords.
Trade Unions are more important than ever but the Government is trying to undermine the unions with the Trade Union Bill.
Unions have been campaigning to defeat the Trade Union Bill and they have my full support.
Trade unions are fundamental to the UK workforce who do crucial work for our country.
Earlier this month the government conceded to an embarrassing climb down on the issue of people using the check off system to pay for their union membership following a proposed amendment to the Bill by Conservative Peer Lord Balfe.
The Bill wanted to scrap the ability for public sector workers to pay their membership fees as a deduction from their wages and for workers to arrange this payment themselves before the government’s made a U-turn on the issue.
The original proposals resulted in concerns that people would cease to become members of unions and that unions would face damage to their funding. Given the important work unions do for workers this was a big concern and I am pleased that the government backed down after pressure to do so.
However despite U-turns such as the one regarding the check off system the Bill still remains a threat to unions and therefore to workers’ rights. This Wednesday I will be closely monitoring events when the Bill returns to the Commons for MP’s consideration of the Lord’s amendments.

Best Answer
well its burning oil so you might have to change your fuel filter or you might just have a leak in your exhaust its an easy fix tho This is usually a sign of bad valve seals. They can be replaced without removing the heads if it gets to be a problem. When you stop the engine for an extended period of time, the oil runs down the valve stems and enters the compustion chamber. Upon starting the engine it will smoke until this oil is burnt.

Plug-ins for Privacy: Disconnect and Adblock
This month on Plug-ins for Privacy, I'll be reviewing a couple of Chrome extensions. Chrome is a blazingly fast browser because it's simple by design, but does it have the knobs and fiddly bits that help you protect your child from the wilds of the Internet? Speed and simplicity do indeed come at the cost of control, but several browser extensions can put that control back in your hands.
The Internet can be an unpredictable place, but one thing that you can predict is that the major online players want to know where you and your child are browsing. Elements that we're very used to now, such as the Facebook "Like" button or information pulled from search engines, are fun and useful tools for us that are also subtle ways for others to track us around the web.
Disconnect is an add-on that exists to remove the tracking elements commonly used by social networks and search engines from websites. It doesn't just remove the tracking ability from the tracking elements - it removes the elements entirely. Once Disconnect is installed, you won't see Digg, Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, or Twitter elements around the web at all. No Like buttons, no sharing options. Nothing.
Disconnect seems to be quite comprehensive for what it does, but it's difficult to tell what it's actually doing. While browsing Gawker, for instance, I can see that 12 Google items are blocked. What are they? Analytics tools? Contextual search results? Public calendars? What if you want one item blocked but not another? The leash that Disconnect gives you on web services it monitors can be held in two ways: extremely tight and nonexistent, so be careful of "breaking" your child's Internet.
Privacy Power
Disconnect is quite functional at "disconnecting" you from the services it monitors; you won't see any common social network tracking elements on websites you visit. However, you also won't know if you're blocking something you'd rather see. Disconnect could easily gain a higher score in this category if it were a little more transparent about what it does and doesn't block.
Ease of Use
Just install the extension, and Disconnect is all set to block anything it's capable of blocking. If you want to unblock an element, simply hit the Disconnect icon and click the items you want revealed. Unfortunately, you'll have to refresh the page manually to see those items.
Disconnect is unique in that it's very well suited to the Chrome way of doing things. Like the base Chrome browser, it's extremely simple, unobtrusive, and dedicated to a single task.
You can cherry-pick sites for your children to browse (or use the myriad software, browser extensions, and filter lists to do it for you), but you can't control the advertisements that show up on those sites. There is no software in the world that can predict what advertisements might show up on a website.
I'm not saying advertisements are, by nature, a bad thing, but when they compromise your child's privacy, they've overstayed their welcome. Flash-based advertisements can place lingering cookies on your computer, and location-based advertisements are only going to become more accurate in the future (you don't really want your child to know about the new Chuck E Cheese's that just opened a few miles away, do you?). Adblock is a nice way to make sure these advertisements can't show up.
Privacy Power
Ease of Use
Blocking ads is a no-brainer as an idea for an extension. However, Adblock's comprehensive filter lists and on-the-fly blocking of individual areas separate it from the pack. The lists that Adblock uses are maintained by a very large, active community of dedicated people - not robots - something other ad blocking extensions can't claim.
Chrome can be a speedy and private browser that's child-safe if you take a little time to make it so. More extensions are being written for Chrome all the time, and we can expect many of them to be privacy related. Tune in next month, when I'll review privacy plug-ins for Firefox 4 (assuming it's out by then, that it). Until then, be sure to check out CDT's browser report to get an idea of how all the top browser makers are trying to outdo each other on privacy control. You are a GeekDad, after all.

The subject of fear has been on my mind over the last few days. No, not a fear of spiders (although I really am not a fan) or heights or snakes and all those sorts of things.
But a fear of ONESELF.
It is really easy to imagine the things that you want in life, the things you would like to achieve, be, do but when it comes to actually getting those things why do we falter? I know this comment really is a bit of a generalisation, not everyone falters, but when it does happen I believe it comes from a place where our emotions are blocking our abilities.
I am fearful that my business venture won’t work out, or i’m fearful that i’m not good enough or worthy enough to achieve my dreams. I am worried about what everyone will think, i’m worried I may be judged… I think you get the picture.
At some point, to really grow, we must learn to get out of our own way. Therefore DECISION is the ultimate POWER here. In life we all need a bit of certainty, significance, love and connection but for our spiritual selves to truly be served we must also understand that we must GROW and contribute beyond ourselves.
Start to create your own psychological strength, have fun exploring the web inside your mind. What are your needs, beliefs, what do you believe you can give to others and when you find those things don’t be afraid – know that if you take even a small amount of action each day towards your dreams and goals, you are capable of anything.
I was sat in a business meeting today with my business partner (and also BFF) and one of our mentors and as we were discussing the venture we are launching in September he really started to hammer it home to us about how we are going to make money. And, I mean, he really went for it. I won't lie, as he went on I could feel the worry and fear creeping up in side and I know my business partner is feeling it too. From an outside point of view, especially from the view of people who don't know us, one might think that we aren't capable of launching our venture successfully, that we don't know enough about business and it is meetings like these that if you let it can really make you falter slightly.
But this is exactly the point. Yes, sometimes I worry that I don't know how things will work out because no, I am not an MBA Graduate from Harvard. However, we have done the work to get this right, we trust ourselves to succeed, we know we are capable of greatness and we will spend every day working a little bit harder to take more steps towards our goals
As my business partner likes to say – sometimes you just have to jump off a cliff and build your plane on the way down. I am not a huge fan of heights so in my case she needs to shove me off on occasion, but hey, that’s what friends are for!
And you know what? Maybe we will fail. But failure is the best way to learn and improve and if you make your way through your life without ever failing, then you haven't lived at all.
Anyway, I know it is easy to talk about fear and what you SHOULD be doing. Please know that i’m on the journey too. It takes hard work but I truly believe the results are worth it. I’ll leave you with a little affirmation list :
1. You are worthy
2. Your past is behind you
3. Trust that the universe has your back
4. Decision is the ultimate power
5. Always acknowledge and be grateful for what you have RIGHT NOW

• Mood:
Getting things moving
It's clearly been a monumental week nationally, and there's so much I want to write. It's also been a packed week vocationally, so I've needed to settle for a note here and there instead, in hopes that I can one day string them together into something coherent.
Regrettable things about Irwin's this morning:
• There's a guy at the table next to me making the most awful smacking noises as he chews. Put in earbuds in hopes of blocking the sound, but it's loud enough that I had to turn on tunes to cover it entirely. His wife sits across from him and I can't help but wonder how she copes. Perhaps she finds it endearing. Or drinks a lot. Or she's deaf.
• The wireless internet is still (read: continually) for crap. How hard can this be to get right? Apparently it's harder than the effort anyone here is willing to give, and yet, they do insist on continuing to give the illusion that they have service. Maybe it's some sort of game (that I don't like playing at all). In the meantime, I bogart another nearby signal.
Reading Tim Ferriss' The 4-Hour Workweek (which is now costing me library fines daily—you'd think that would motivate me more than it seems). Enjoyed this bit I read between turns at fiddling with the wireless connection:
Ask for Forgiveness, Not Permission.
If it isn't going to devastate those around you, try it and then justify it. People—whether parents, partners, or bosses—deny things on an emotional basis that they can learn to accept after the fact. If the potential damage is moderate or in any way reversible, don't give people the chance to say no. Most people are fast to stop you before you get started but hesitant to get in the way if you're moving. Get good at being a troublemaker and saying sorry when you really screw up.
That's been huge for me, not because I work in some kind of sluggish bureaucracy, but because I don't, so everything suffers if I act as if I do. Once I started just pulling the trigger more quickly, independently, and often, I realized no one really wanted me to wait for permission at all—permission was rarely as valuable as just making it happen. If this approach reaches a point of diminishing returns, I trust the feedback will be quick and clear. Until then, things seem to work a lot better this way.

Breaking News
Minister: Chingwizi Flood Victims' Relocation Mission Accomplished
The flood victims were refusing to move, insisting the government pays them the $9 million it had promised them as compensation plus larger pieces of land.
Under the new constitution, the government is compelled to compensate people it relocates.
The cash-strapped government has failed to raise the money leading to rising tensions and violence.
Humanitarian organisations, which were assisting the flood victims, have pulled out after alleged frustration in dealing with the government. There have been allegations of looting of donated goods, leading to the arrest of some police officers.
Bhasikiti though said the relocated families have settled well at Nuanetsi Ranch.
But relocated villager, Milton Shumba said the government has dumped them and they are suffering.
Despite the negative publicity that the Tokwe Mukosi Dam has attracted largely as a result of alleged government bungling, the construction of the $430 million Tokwe-Mukosi Dam has potential to boost the country’s economy.
When completed, Tokwe-Mukosi will be Zimbabwe’s biggest inland dam with a capacity to generate 50 megawatts of electricity, enough to light up the whole of Masvingo province. The dam is also expected to boost tourism and agriculture and create jobs for the community.

NIH recommends change in testing for diabetes during pregnancy
Gestational diabetes (the type that occurs during pregnancy) is on the rise, especially among women who are obese, or have waiting until they are in the 30’s or older before having their first child. In addition to the fact that high blood sugar can cause the fetus to grow too large, leading to a C-section, other dangers include the mother’s blood pressure becoming too high, as well as the fact that the baby could be born with low blood sugar as well as a pre-tendency to growing up obese as well, according to the National Institutes of Health, which is now recommending a change in testing, that could actually triple the number of cases diagnosed.
Currently 5%-6% of all pregnant women (roughly 240,000 per year in the US) tested have been found to have gestational diabetes.
While the majority of doctors here in the US use a two-step test, the NIH panel is now suggesting they switch to the one step test used in other parts of the world. The one-step test is also backed by both the American Diabetes Association and the World Health Organization.
Note: If the expectant mother is having trouble controlling her blood sugar, or needs to take insulin, or you have other pregnancy complications, additional tests may be performed in order to evaluate the fetus’s general health. Gestational diabetes that is difficult to control, may affect the placenta and endanger the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the baby.

International tourism by whom to work
World Travel and Tourism Jobs: An Overview of the Best Professions
Website about tourism
Service and tourism - specialty
A tourism professional must be able to handle a huge flow of information and be able to navigate in it, must have a broad outlook, have good spatial thinking, be always aware of news and trends in tourism, love people and constant business trips. A characteristic feature of a professional in the field of tourism is sociability and mobility.
Specialty "Tourism", which subjects to take - passing points
Profile "Tourism" is a concept that includes different areas of training. The university may have the name "Socio-cultural service and tourism", a specialty dedicated to tourism. And it can be called differently, releasing specialists-organizers of travel agency or excursion services. The difference between them is quite serious, so you need to approach the choice thoroughly.
If a graduate, after grade 11, chose to study tourism, he must analyze in advance all the options for universities of interest to him. Universities in Russia reserve the right to choose the list of exams on their own. The compulsory exam is Russian language and history. One or even two exams are determined by the university at its discretion. This is most often geography or social studies.
For admission to the direction "Technology and organization of services in international tourism" on the profile "Tourism", the specialty will require an exam in a foreign language (for example, English for the specialty tourism). For other areas, they can choose biology, geography or social studies as an additional exam.
The passing score is also different everywhere. Leading universities in Moscow indicate the average passing grade - 82.5. You can focus on passing scores, however, they are not a guarantor of admission. In other words, a graduate may have on hand the results that coincide with the passing score of the university, but whether he enters or not will depend on the competition.
Tourism specialty code
Any specialty in the Russian Federation is assigned its own unique code. According to the unified classifier of specialties, the profile "Tourism" has a code - 43. 3. 2. This rule applies to absolutely all educational institutions of the country.
Tourism specialty higher education and sports - form and terms of study
You can enroll in a university in the field of "Tourism" for both full-time and part-time studies.
International tourism by whom to work
Choosing a profession is not an easy task. Work can be boring, monotonous and repetitive. Or it can be exciting, informative and full of new discoveries. There are people who simply suffocate in stuffy offices, sitting in front of monitors. They want an active life, change of places, new experiences. It is this category that you should carefully look at work related to tourism and travel.
Why travel jobs are attractive
Traveling is the dream of many who want to combine business with pleasure. For such people, the world opens up in a new way. It is the work related to tourism and travel that will be the ideal option for them when choosing a profession. It will be both a way of earning money and an exciting adventure. There are many advantages to this kind of work. Let's consider the main ones:
• the opportunity to see new countries, get to know their culture;
• work related to travel is usually highly paid;
• you can buying many things abroad is much cheaper than at home;
• traveling and working at the same time, you can combine the craving for changing places and learning with a fairly good income;
• useful contacts are acquired abroad, in certain situations, you can later move to another country;
• it has become popular for the beautiful half of Russian society to associate their lives with foreigners today. It is the work related to travel that can most contribute to this.
In fact, this kind of work has many more advantages, many of them are purely individual.
At the same time, this kind of work has certain drawbacks. There are not many of them, but they are still there:
• constant travel is not conducive to strengthening the family;
• travel to some countries is not only exciting, but also quite dangerous for life or health adventure;
• constant travel is simply exhausting for any person.
Therefore, when choosing a job, everyone decides for himself whether life on wheels is suitable for him, whether the chosen way of earning is comfortable and whether it is worth counting on it in the future.
When choosing a job, everyone decides for himself whether life on wheels suits his day, whether the chosen way of earning is comfortable and whether it is worth counting on it in the future
The topic of travel work is very close to me. Working as a translator, I have visited 17 countries around the world. At first, when you just start working, trips abroad seem to be something incredibly attractive, promising a lot of new impressions, acquaintances and adventures. But over time, everything starts to get boring. Being abroad for a long time, you begin to miss your family, home, and friends very much. And the impressions of changing places fade considerably over time. I worked in Africa for several years. I noticed a rather interesting psychological trait in my colleagues. Those of them who have worked in an African country for more than two or three years have already ceased to strive for their homeland. Of course, they went on vacation, saw their relatives. But further plans of work in their native land were no longer being built. Each of them considered their future careers exclusively abroad. And the point is not only in the high level of wages (in Africa, white specialists are paid well), but also in some growing psychological alienation. Several years have passed since my return. Most of my former colleagues never returned to work at home. Some found work in Canada, others in the European Union, and one of them even flew to New Zealand to work. Several people chose South Africa as a country for work and residence. As you can see, work abroad, travel work becomes for many just a way of life, which they simply do not want to change.

The Allure of Battle
The Allure of Battle
when you buy this product.
Cathal Nolan's The Allure of Battle shows that while wars have shaped the history of the modern world, their outcomes are decided by many other factors. The book argues that major battles are not decisive to the outcome of wars; rather, wars depend on longer-term attrition in which the side that wins gradually and remorselessly overwhelms the other with larger arsenals and greater reserves of manpower. To illustrate his argument, Nolan draws on conflicts throughout the world and throughout history (aside from classical or medieval warfare, which, he argues, had greatly different characters from each other and from early modern and modern warfare). The Allure of Battle systematically examines a series of great battles, each described in the standard literature as the "turning pointof the war in which they occurred.

Paper, Party, and Personalization
Bupper Club: The One Plus One by Jojo Moyes
Book ClubKat Rainwater
This past Monday was my turn to host Bupper Club. I decided to take a risk and try out an author I had never read before. I did my research and Jojo Moyes came highly recommended! After reading many reviews she seemed like the perfect light-hearted, romance author. If you’ve been to the Target book section recently, you might have noticed that Jojo Moye’s books are everywhere! I read several of her synopsis’s and chose One Plus One. Think Sophie Kinsella meets Liane Moriarty. Clearly, our Bupper Club is really loving the British authors!
One Plus One centers around Jess and her somewhat unique family. Her husband bailed two years ago, she’s taken in her step-son, throw in Tanzie – her math genius daughter, and a really large dog and you’ve got yourself a chaotic life. Tanzie is offered a scholarship to a private school but Jess can hardly make ends meet, much less pay for school tuition. When Jess tries to take Tanzie to an Olympiad competition in hopes that the winnings could cover the cost of tuition she ends up on a life-changing road trip with Ed. You must read to find out more!
If you’re looking for a great book, don’t look any further!
[ the MEAL ]
Jess and her entire crew are road tripping to a math competition a good portion of the book. Jess is quite the penny pincher and won’t allow the family to eat out because it doesn’t fit into her budget. Instead, she stops at the grocery store and picks up a loaf of bread and tuna paste and the family has to make sandwiches for the entire trip. So of course, I made sandwiches! Don’t worry…no tuna paste was involved! I tried out several different recipes and ended up with a turkey bacon pesto sandwich, roast beef on a pretzel roll, and chicken salad croissants. Recipes coming soon!
And I had to represent math in some way- so I decided to order number cookies from this Etsy shop in honor of Tanzie! They tasted as good as they look!
[ discussion QUESTIONS for The One Plus One ]
I pulled all of my discussion questions from the One Plus One book summary in the back of the book. Read at your own risk! (Spoilers!)
1. Even though Marty himself is reluctant, Jess opens her home to Nicky, Marty’s son by “a woman he’d dated briefly in his teens” (p. 9), after his birth mother essentially abandons him. If you were Jess, would you be willing to raise Nicky as your own child?
2. Aileen Trent sells designer clothes at a cut rate to people who could never afford to buy them in the shops. Since Jess strongly suspects that they are stolen, is it wrong for her to buy a few items for Tanzie?
3. Jess takes the money that Ed drunkenly drops in the taxi and decides to use it to pay Tanzie’s registration fees. Would she have made that choice if he hadn’t behaved rudely to her while she was cleaning his house? Does his treatment of her excuse her decision?
4. Is it more difficult for the poor to lead law-abiding lives? To what extent is morality a matter of character or circumstance?
5. Ed’s parents couldn’t afford to send both Ed and his sister, Gemma, to public school, so they sent only him. Was it a fair decision? Is Gemma’s resentment justified?
6. Ed helps Nicky get revenge on Jason Fisher by showing him how to hack Jason’s Facebook page. Since Jason intimidated the witnesses to Nicky’s beating into not speaking out against him, is it a justifiable retaliation?
7. At what point in their journey does Ed begin to think less about himself and more about helping Tanzie and her family?
8. Does Ed’s ignorance mitigate the seriousness of his crime? Should he have spent time in prison, or do you feel he was given a fair sentence?
9. Jess’s mother “had been right about many things” (p. 166), but she never made her daughter feel loved. As a result, Jess makes it her priority as a mother to make Tanzie and Nicky feel loved. What is something that your parents did right? What is something they did wrong that you hope to rectify if you are or plan to become a parent yourself?
10. Do you support Jess’s decision to go into debt to pay for Norman’s hospital bills rather than put him to sleep?
11. Did Ed’s financial success go to his head, or was he self-centered before he was rich? What did he have to learn about himself in order to forgive Jess?
Did anyone read One Plus One? Tell me what you thought!

Coming Up for Air
Hey Flan,
I would apologize for being incommunicado for the past 6-8 weeks but I'm too exhausted. I had forgotten about how The Job morphs in the summer, having totally repressed all memories of last summer into a nice black haze. Total stressful and exhausting chaos regins supreme.
Enough about that though. Knitting news! I decided to make a passel of hats for The Future Niece/Nephew. Given that we don't yet know if it is a niece or a nephew I decided to hold off on the blanket making. However, I could not repress the urge to knit for it, so hats it was. Someday I'll find the camera and take pictures, they're totally adorable. Also instantly gratifying as they're small and go quickly.
My new knitting obsession is knitting on small needles. I'm currently making a super secret project on size 3s. I've been officially judged mentally unstable by all the knitters who think that making grown-up sized garments on baby sized needles is an undeniable sign of crazy. I think it's turning out rather well.
Around Memorial Day one of the knitters and I sojourned to a not so local but oh so delightful yarn shop. The people are fantastic and very nice and there is a wonderful selection which spans from the usual and economical to the crazy expensive but so very covetous. I was lured in by some Malabrigo and some Blue Sky Alpaca Cotton. Yarn shopping was in the budget, but still I felt extravagent and a little guilty spending so much money on yarn.
However, last week I was listening to NPR and they were talking about the golf course at which the PGA was having their contest and how it was at a public golf course. For the shockingly low price of $38 you too could walk the 18 holes where Tiger had played. I heard the statistic and thought, "$38 for a single game?? That's 3 skeins of Malabrigo and it'll take me far longer than a couple of hours to knit that up." At the end, those guys will have had a nice walk spoiled, but at the end of mine I'll have a scarf, hat and possibly mittens. I stopped feeling guilty.
One last thing, Franklin has a compelling post for today.

What is the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit launchers of Transistor?
I see there are two types of launchers for Transistor: 32 and 64 bit. Is there any difference between them?
Most games are 32 bit and you don’t have to ask yourself whether it will launch on your low-end notebook or a cheap computer that only supports 32-bit OS, and as a result is not capable of running 64-bit games, even if you decide to install a 64-bit OS (which you can’t because of hardware restrictions).
The most important limitation of 32-bit applications is the memory they can use (about 4GB max). Does Transistor even use that much memory? Does using 64-bit launcher allow to allocate more resources in memory for faster loading times?
Let’s say we’re only talking about 64-bit OS systems. Will 64-bit launcher bring a different experience from 32-bit one?
One Solution collect form web for “What is the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit launchers of Transistor?”
A 64bit program can not just address more memory than a 32bit program, it can also use some CPU instructions which are only available in 64 bit mode. That means a 64bit program can perform certain calculations in one step which a 32bit program has to split up into multiple steps, which takes some additional time.
This, however, only applies when:
1. the compiler (the program used to translate the programs sourcecode into an executable) used by the developer knows how to make good use of 64bit instructions
2. the most CPU-intense parts of the program even benefit from the new 64bit instructions
3. the program is mostly limited by the CPU performance and not, like most games on most PCs, by the performance of the graphics chip.
The 64bit architecture also has a drawback: Some pieces of information which are stored in 4 bytes in 32bit mode now take 8 bytes. This means a 64bit program will take a bit more space in RAM and (more importantly) use more CPU cache. That additional information also needs to be moved between RAM and CPU, which puts some additional strain on the memory bus.
Still, as a rule of thumb, when you have a 64bit operating system, and you get to choose between a 64bit and a 32bit version of the same program, you should generally use the 64bit version.
We love Playing Games, especially Video Games.

The metastabie $\beta$ phase in Cu-based shape memory alloys (SMA) undergoes two order-disorder transitions during quenching from high temperature. First, it undergoes a B2 ordering at the nearest neighbors and then a second one at the next nearest neighbors that has nor been clearly established. The kind of order obtained and the ordering evolution during aging at low temperature influence on the martensitic phase since it inherits the atomic order of the $\beta$ phase. Neutron Powder Diffraction measurements have been performed at room temperature in a fully ordered alloy (Cu-27.4 al-3.6 Ni at.%) obtained after quenching from 1173 K and aged during 2 hours at 473 K. The differences in the neutron scattering factors for Ni and Cu atoms promotes differences in reflestions depending on the kind of order (dO 3 or L2 1). Rietveld analysis allows to conclude that a L2 1 order at next nearest neighbors is present in the ordered phase.

Vancouver and Beyond
The ferns have kept me busy the last few weeks, so it's been a while since my last post. I'll try to make up for that, starting today. I'm back in DC after spending several weeks traveling and enjoying the plants of the Northwest Coast, an area of the US and Canada where I've never been before. I attended the Botanical Society of America's annual conference at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, and then spent several days traveling around Washington and Oregon with local fern aficionados.
This post serves as a (very brief) introduction to the types of habitats and plants I saw out there, and I'll follow it up with several entries about specific ferns I encountered.
The pictures above are from a fern foray that took place Saturday, July 27th, to the Lower Seymour Conservation Area and Mount Seymour, north of Vancouver. There are usually several field trips on the weekend preceding the Botany conference each year, and the fern ones are always the most fun (of course). On this trip we visited typical conifer forest at the Conservation area, and as you can see, there were tons of ferns. The ones most prominent in these photos are Athyrium filix-femina (Western Lady Fern) and Blechnum spicant. I'm bad at trees, so I don't know the species that were present, but suffice to say there were lots of them, and they were BIG.
The forest was pretty rich and dense with plant life, including mosses that were draped over many of the branches. Surprisingly, despite the lush coverage of ferns, the fern flora was fairly depauperate (meaning number of species, not abundance of plants). Earlier this summer I was able to locate 15 fern species on just two or three acres at my parents' home, while my list topped out at around 10 species for this incredible forest. It's likely that there just aren't a ton of ferns able to cope with the relatively low water availability imposed by the long winters in this area of the world.

Subject: Comment on File Number 4-637
Dear members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
I am writing to urge the SEC to issue a rule requiring publicly traded corporations to publicly disclose all their political spending.
Thank you for considering my comment.
I find it appalling that the United States Supreme Court Justices could be so very wrong on Citizens United vs FEC. It, to me, is a simple common sense issue. The average American workers make up the corporation; the corporation is NOT a person.
It is so very unfair to our Democratic process of politics to allow the very rich hide under the umbrella of a "corporation" make unlimited money to buy elections. I am sure that all their employees do not share or have their employees full agreement on the politics the corporations are spending money on.
Please do whatever you can to give our political process back to the people as it was intended to be from the start. Thank You.
Allen Richards

'Greenwashing' or genuine?: Behind big business' climate promises
• Climate
• Monday, 08 Nov 2021
Hurricane Delta causes damage to Louisiana's Gulf Coast. Out of 1,300 companies surveyed by the Boston Consulting Group, only 11% said they had reached their carbon emission targets over the last five years, and just 9% accurately measured their emissions. Photo: AFP
As warnings have intensified about the massive damage that climate change will have on the world in the coming decades, big business has started to make commitments to reduce carbon emissions.
But are these companies making a genuine attempt to fight global warming, or simply "greenwashing" their brands to try to divert criticism while still reaping huge profits from their carbon-based industries?
With the COP26 summit in Glasgow coming after the United Nations warned the world was barrelling towards "climate catastrophe", analyses by consultants and think tanks show there is still much more that can be done.
The omissions of 'net zero' emissions
The International Energy Agency (IEA) says that industry accounts for almost 40% of the world's energy consumption and still overwhelmingly uses fossil fuels: oil, gas and particularly coal, which all hugely contribute to human-induced global warming.
The IEA said that "a number of companies around the world have set ambitious targets, but their potential impact remains uneven".
Out of 1,300 companies surveyed by the Boston Consulting Group, only 11% said they had reached their carbon emission targets over the last five years. And just 9% accurately measured their emissions.
The InfluenceMap think tank's "A-List" assessed the climate ambitions of hundreds of companies, but found just 15 were sufficient.
Twelve of the 15 companies were European, with Unilever, Ikea, Nestle and Tesla among the few industry heavy-hitters using their corporate clout to push for ambitious policies.
InfluenceMap's Kendra Haven said that "large parts of the corporate world appear to remain ambivalent or actively opposed to bold climate action".
The London-based think tank disqualified companies that maintain memberships to "obstructive lobby groups", so firms like Microsoft and Siemens AG did not make the cut because they are associated with either the National Association of Manufacturers or the US Chamber of Commerce.
The number of companies that have said they aim to reduce emissions to "net zero" in the future has increased more than six-fold since 2019 to over 3,000, BP said in a July report.
However the phrase "net zero" can hide many emissions, depending on how the company chooses to define it.
Many firms have said their direct emissions would hit net zero in the coming decades – but depending on what they produce, their indirect emissions could be far larger.
For example, major oil producers could commit to zero direct emissions while not including the vast carbon consequences of the oil they supply.
"Carbon offsets" such as support for reforesting projects can also be abused to bend the figure towards zero.
However, for a transition in line with the targets of the Paris climate agreement, companies can get certified by the Science-Based Targets initiative, which brings together experts, NGOs and the UN Global Compact.
There are also steps the financial sector could take to help, including better tracking of the environmental performance of investments that are labelled as carbon neutral.
Out of 16,500 investment funds analysed by the Carbon Disclosure Project, only 0.5% are currently in line with the goals of the Paris agreement.
"The reality of traditional climate investing strategies does not live up to the promises," a study by the French Edhec business school's scientific beta research chair found, lashing out at "greenwashing".
"Speaking of climate investment when the companies' climate performance only accounts on average for 12% of the weight of their stocks in the portfolios is at best a misnomer and at worst misinformation."
When it comes to the fossil fuel industry, IEA executive director Fatih Birol said that attention has so far been on American and European energy companies, but producers in the rest of the world also need to be put under pressure.
"All these companies should be reporting in a transparent way how much investment they are putting on clean energy, how much emissions they are responsible for and what are their plans to face this," Birol told AFP.
Saying that "greenwashing" has posed a challenge, he added that the IEA has been tracking how these companies invest in clean energy.
"Two years ago, 1% of all their investments were going to clean energy, and this year it's 5%. So there is an increase," Birol said. "But 95% is still going to their usual practices." — AFP

This is what birthday dreams are made of!
On Thursday, Hilary Duff pulled out all the stops for her son Luca's 8th birthday. For her eldest child's big day, the Lizzie McGuire star and her husband Matthew Koma baked the b-day boy a cake, which made for the perfect family photo opp
"Bday Cake makin going down," Hilary shared on her Instagram Stories, along with a selfie featuring her man and Luca. In the photo, the man of the hour can be seen sitting on the counter and mixing his cake batter with a blender. Matthew also documented the family fun moment on his Stories, writing, "Making this dude's bday cake." For his snap, the adorable kiddo and his famous mom are in the early stages of cake baking and look super excited to get started.
Missing from the action was Hilary and Matthew's daughter Banks, 16 months, who always makes sweet cameos on the Younger star's social media. That same day, Hilary shared a hilarious update on how her baby girl's potty training has been going, joking that she hasn't gotten the hang of it yet.
Since welcoming Banks in 2018, Hilary has been candid about motherhood—starting with the mom guilt she felt while pregnant with her daughter.
"The guilt that I felt for bringing her into the world was so big," she told the outlet. "It was just [Luca] and I for so long that he was like, ‘Why? Why, Mom? Why would you do this? I really just love the way it is.' And it wasn't bratty, it was just so sad."
She added, "I was like, ‘How do I reverse this?! It's too late now.' It's such big feelings. When you're pregnant, everything just feels more magnified." Thankfully, Luca eventually came around and he's been the best brother to baby Banks. "He came in after I had her. I was just holding her, and the look on his face was an absolute shock," Hilary recalled. "He just said, ‘That's my sister!'"
Hilary Duff, Luca Birthday Cake, IG Stories
When she's not baking birthday cakes or slaying the ‘Gram, Hilary has been doing her best to teach her two youngins how to make more eco-friendly choices. In an interview with Parents, she shared that watching a video of a turtle getting a straw pulled out of its nose sparked her and her family to become more sustainable.
"All of a sudden, we knew what straws do to animals and the ocean," she told the outlet for its April issue. "About three months ago, we stopped buying zip-top plastic bags. At first, washing and prepping one more thing seems impossible, but it only takes a little extra time, and it makes a difference."
She continued, "The more we dive into living cleaner, the more things come to our attention. We're explaining to Luca why we do all this, and he's getting more involved."

Posted on May 20 2016
With the advent of the deep web and the illicit black markets that came with them, buying drugs over the internet was incredibly easy from about 2012-2014. It was the second stage of wild west days of the internet, the great expansion in net freedom that had only been seen once before in the early nineties.
Buying drugs on the internet is not a particularly new thing though. The first thing ever bought or sold on the internet was a bag of weed. In John Markoff 's 2005 book What the Dormouse Said: How the Sixties Counterculture Shaped the Personal Computer Industry (even the book's title is from a hoary old Jefferson Airplane track) he reveals that the world's first online transaction was a drug deal:
It’s unsurprising that people have long used the internet to buy and sell drugs. Weed is a commodity like any other, and the internet makes it easier to to find people who want to buy or sell it.
Now, legal states boast websites that have dispensaries and delivery options. The future is here, and the future is buying weed online. When something becomes so ubiquitous that it is everywhere, it’s impossible to deny the fact that its use is widespread and pushes us towards further deregulation and legalisation.
Perhaps soon we’ll even be able to get our weed delivered with our pizza.

Hooked on Social Media: How One OB/GYN Uses Social Media to Help His Patients
By Dan Hinmon, Principal –– When Dr. Jeff Livingston, an OB/GYN practicing at MacArthur OB/GYN in Irving, TX, began his practice he immediately found a cause. “I was trying to address the problem of teen pregnancy in our area,” he remembers. “There were a lot of pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. I was volunteering time at the local high school.” Read more »
HTA Endometrial Ablation for Menorrhagia
Endometrial Ablation may be an alternative treatment option for pre-menopausal women with menorrhagia (excessive uterine bleeding) due to benign causes, for whom childbearing is complete. Menorrhagia is frequently treated by performing a hysterectomy. The HTA® System is designed to ablate the endometrial lining of the uterus without the need for surgery.
Ask yourself the following questions:
1. Does your period last longer than seven days?
2. Do you use more than 3 pads or tampons per day?
3. Do you pass clots during your periods?
4. Does your heavy bleeding affect your work, social, athletic or sexual activities?
5. Has medication (birth control pills) failed to help your heavy bleeding?
If you answer yes to any one of these questions, you are likely suffering from heavy menstrual bleeding or menorrhagia.
Endometrial ablation is a procedure to treat abnormal uterine bleeding. The procedure is intended to destroy all or most of the tissue that is responsible for menstrual bleeding (the endometrium). After the procedure, patients may never bleed again, or if they do, their bleeding is generally reduced. Not all patients experience a satisfactory reduction in bleeding so all treatment options should be discussed with your doctor. In general, approximately 50% of women that have the ablation have no more menstrual cycles. Of the 50% that do continue to have a cycle, most have little bleeding and are satisfied with their results. The overall satisfaction rate is approximately 95%.
What are the reasons for undergoing the procedure?
If heavy bleeding during your periods is affecting your quality of life and you believe your options are to wait until menopause or to have a hysterectomy, there may be other choices for help without major surgery.
Intended Benefits of the Hydro ThermAblator® System (HTA® System):
• A potential alternative to hysterectomy or other major surgical procedures.
• An outpatient procedure usually performed in the office with only local anesthesia.
• Decreased recovery period and generally fewer significant harmful side effects.
What is the HTA® System and how does the procedure work?
The Hydro ThermAblator System (HTA System) is a device that allows your gynecologist to perform endometrial ablation on an outpatient basis. This procedure involves your doctor inserting a probe into your uterus that includes a tiny telescope for viewing the lining of the uterus. Heated saline is circulated and is intended to destroy the lining of the uterus, even in a partial septate uterus or one with intra-mural fibroids ≤ 4cm, to eliminate or reduce bleeding to normal levels or less.
First, your cervix will be slightly dilated to allow the introduction of the telescope through the vagina, through the cervix and then into the uterus. This gives your gynecologist a view of the inside of your uterus to assure proper positioning. Then, your uterus will be filled with room temperature saline solution to gently clean and flush the uterus. The fluid will be heated to 90º C(194°F) and circulated in the uterus for ten minutes in order to treat the endometrium (lining of the uterus).
Your gynecologist will do some pretreatment tests that may include a Pap smear, an ultrasound, endometrial biopsy, and/or a hysteroscopy (look inside the uterus with a tiny telescope) to see why you are having excessive menstrual bleeding.
Your physician will give you pain medication before the procedure to reduce cramping during or after the procedure. With the new technology and advancements available at MacArthur OB/GYN, most ablations are done in our office with only a local anesthesia injection.
After the procedure, you may experience some cramping that should go away by bedtime. You will probably have a pink or yellow watery discharge for a few weeks after your treatment. If you experience two days of heavy bleeding, abdominal or pelvic pain, a fever, or pain that increases over time beyond 24 hours after the procedure, call your physician.
You should not have this procedure if you desire pregnancy in the future. Endometrial ablation, however, does not prevent you from becoming pregnant and such a pregnancy would be high risk for both mother and fetus. Contraception or sterilization should be used after this treatment since pregnancy can still occur. Please discuss the different options with your physician. Also, all procedures carry risk. Ablation risk factors include bleeding, infection, damage to organs (uterine perforation, etc), and are something you should also discuss with your doctor.

harvest of generosity
Can you imagine being with Jesus on this day? It seems to be one of those days that began the normal way but was laced with teaching moments between Jesus and those closest to him. On a side note, I crave some of those teaching moments.
Learning from Jesus had to be incredible, yet most days leave you and me somewhat callus to the small points. The big ones are easy to grasp, to take notes from and to think back through over and over. The small ones are different. It could be a short sentence or two of reflection over the sunset. It might be noticing a smile or an interaction between people you were around for only a few minutes.
That is what those moments must have been like in the temple that day. It was natural for people to bring their offerings. Most of the people did this often, and they enjoyed giving. At least that is what Jesus reminded each of us to be, a cheerful giver as notes in 2 Corinthians 9.
Until the little widow lady walked in to the room. I imagine Jesus stopped talking and started watching. The disciples noticed the gaze of their leader watching this lady’s steps and what she was about to do. Maybe they could hear those two coins roll in to the bucket. Or maybe they noticed nothing at all.
Stop for a minute and hear what Jesus said. She gave more. That stunned the people around Jesus as it would have stunned me. The big givers matter the most, or so it seems. The giving of all the people made the treasury grow in huge proportions. Her gift made very little difference to the people counting the gifts that day.
Her gift made a big difference in her life. Some translations, older ones, speak of her two coins as mites. They were the smallest coin currency in the Jewish system, and they amounted to maybe one penny to us. Jesus said her gift was bigger, stronger and meant more than all the gifts given by the rich or anyone who gave that day.
This lady’s heart was in the right place as she gave out of her poverty. Others gave out of their overflow and the extra. She simply knew that God was at work and deserved her best.
God deserves our best. He deserves our heart. Being generous denotes a life that has made God the center and His work the priority of it all. I am praying for people who will become a “harvest of generosity in you”.
2 Corinthians 9:10 NLT
It really is an issue of the heart.
Matthew 6:21 NASB
Live a life of generosity.

Couldn't Stand the Weather
So here I am facing the oncoming storm of Hurricane Matthew, hunkering down while my library closes tomorrow with hope that the damage in central Florida is minimal and that things will be normal by Saturday.
And here's Rude Pundit yelling and screaming because Matt Drudge - one of the founding members of the Far Right Noise Machine from the 1990s - is being an idiot about hurricanes:
Drudge's original Tweet:
Here's what Drudge is selling. The Far Right has long accused the scientists pushing a political agenda - a Communist-inspired New-World-Order - to hurt our energy producers by going after the negative effects carbon-based pollution has on our global climate. Rather than accept the slight possibility that 98 percent of scientists who study and research this stuff are actually freaking out that our planet is artificially heating up into a civilization-ending extinction-level event, the media elites of the Far Right alongside the Republican party leadership try to convince enough people that global warming is a myth and that every warning of environmental disaster is exaggerated or worse.
The reason there's a controversy over Climate Change is because the Far Right WANTS the controversy. Any settled acceptance of this fact would destroy one of the key elements of their precious Conservative Narrative.
Ergo, the strength and destructiveness of hurricanes has to be downplayed or mocked: Any proof that the weather is becoming more extreme due to the temperature shifts would ruin the Far Right wingnuts.
Apparently, the Weather Channel is now part of the Vast Liberal Conspiracy alongside NASA, NOAA, Al Gore, and pretty much anybody with a degree in Meteorology, Environmental Sciences, or (insert most college degrees here).
Worse, we got idiots claiming Obama controls the weather.
In the meantime, if Drudge questions the strength of Hurricane Matthew, he's more than welcome to head out to West Palm Beach and stand on US A1A along the beaches and measure that storm surge himself. See what results he gets.

On Comrade Misfit's blog last night they were sort of suggesting that the dittoheads and drudgers just stay put for the overall good of humanity. But if it is a big hoax, who do you think went to Haiti and murdered those 113 people in such an obvious false flag operation?

Oops, make that more than 800.

Haiti is going to need a lot of help from the United States and the world. I hope our aid agencies can get in there ASAP.

Weird Thought
My wife and I were having a conversation a few weeks ago regarding Hitler's mustache, and the fact that this will never come in style again because of the atrocities that Hitler committed. For some reason (beer), we started wondering "what if."
For instance, what if Hitler had mutton-chops? Would mutton-chops not be cool (not saying that they're cool now, but you know). What about a goatee? Or a soul patch?
Then, we came up with a different idea ... it's a shame Hitler didn't have a mullet ... jerk.
Ink and Stone said...
Heh - mullet hitler.
snowelf said...
hehehe---I'm with Ink. That's funny!
(my grandma had an outhouse too and I was terrified of it! They didn't ever use it anymore but I wouldn't even go inside of it. I never would have survived the pioneer days...)
Heff said...
Ha ! I was just thinking of the mullet, and there is was in the last sentence.
"You can't keep a good mullet down", lol !
Jeff said...
What would happen if Hitler and Che Guevara both had that stupid mustache, or both had a mullet?
El Padrino said...
guy i work with has a nazi stache
no lie.
schue said...
when a kid has a mullet, it's called a chullet.....child mullet.
who wants a fish on their head?
Sandi said...
That's great!

In Love with the Word: Poetry in Tasmania
Sweeping the Light Back into the Mirror
Wind over Water
The Tao of Water
Haiku and its related forms
Karen Knight
No-one smiles
in this part of the city.
Sharp things silvertail
in back pockets.
Pedestrians run
the red light, it keeps
the chrome bulls
No one wonders snow
onto the mountain.
There are no seagulls
for children to throw
this / their sadness to.
How quickly sadness
can blacken a red
I've been clinging
to this boat for hours
yelling until my teeth drop
but no-one comes
The wind is around 39 knots now
tide running the wrong way
The oars broke
She stood up to get the lifejackets
She weighed 165kgs
She had a heart attack
and fell overboard
I tore my trapezius muscle
trying to hold her
I let her go
I let her float away
The different colours of her skin
as she drifts in the rising sea
Clowning with Caligula
We watched in silence
as our Emperor hurled obscenities
into the English Channel.
Incitatus paced it out
in the shallow water,
his massive hooves
trampling any sign of crustacean.
Archers formed ranks
at the water's edge, then shot
arrows into the breakers
while Caligula slashed
at the sea with his sword.
Orders came to drag our engines
of war onto the sand dunes
and the cavalry rode in and out
of the surf, shredding the foam
with their spears.
Some of us watched the horizon
in the hope that a distant enemy
would appear, something we
could sink our steel into.
Then, to stop the boredom
we took off our plumed helmets
and filled them with shells
and we catapulted them to the stars.

Upton Needs to “Get Back on the Horse” Soon
I am beginning to worry a bit about Tampa Bay Rays CF B J Upton. Not because he is missing vital Spring time in the field, but because sometimes letting a fear fester can be his own worst enemy. The reasoning for this worry stems from a recent collision between Upton and Rays LF Desmond Jennings that left both with soreness, stiffness and bouts of pain.
The worst injury unfortunately is the one we can not see with our eyes, or predict with any clarity. The mind is notorious for making the imagery of the event and the aftermath blur and sometimes amplify to the point where the athlete doesn’t venture into that same situation again with abandon, but with caution and fear for a return engagement with the grass and a visit from the Rays training staff.
This is the fear I have right now that Upton’s confidence is damaged. Not beyond repair, but he needs to get into game action soon, face the demon of another “dying quail between himself and the Rays infield, or a long drive high in the gap that he can run under, or take command of with confidence. Right now Upton could have the same hesitation that an NFL receiver feels initially after a jarring hit over the middle, or when he is somersaulting through the air after being up-ended.
Hearing footsteps, taking an extra degree of caution while running towards a ball can be detrimental to the style and devil-may-care attitude Upton has shown as he has risen up the ranks to become a top-tier defensive outfielder. Taking a second off his response time, a hesitation in his start towards a ball in flight or fearing another collision with a teammate could derail all the good deeds he has done in the Rays outfield since 2007.
The cure for this illness is simple. Upton needs to get back onto the field as soon as possible, have a high fly ball hit into the gap or in front of him and he needs to make the play like he did 1,000’s of times before his recent collision. The problem is right now, he is not on the field. Taking that first step onto the field during a contest is the first vital step in his recovery.
Sure some will say he needs to heal his physical wounds before he can stave off his mental issues, but that is malarkey. Getting back on his proverbial horse, seeing the ball again as just a white sphere and not something that almost took his livelihood away is paramount. Miscalculations happen every day in sports either by players in the field or on the mound, and they bounce back with better clarity and understanding of what to do “next time” a similar situation rears its ugly head.
A good word of advice is possibly Upton becoming more vocal, being the QB in the outfield and calling off infielders or his corner outfielders when he feels he has a legitimate shot at a ball. I still remember seeing a collision between Jose Cruz Jr and Damon Rolls in shallow Right field near the foul line in 2004 that shook both players to their internal cores. Both players ended up battling their own separate demons after that event, but both also tried to get back on the field ASAP to start the mental healing process.
For many MLB seasons Upton has thrown his body around the turf in the Trop. or on the road without a care or worry or fear of mortal consequences. It is a unteachable quality to give 110% on a play most would deem a loss even before an attempt, then gripping the ball in the glove and hearing the cheers all around you. Upton needs to get back on the field and make such a play and return to that cocky level of play that endears him to us.
Banging into walls, diving face-first with his glove and arm extended is part of the work that Upton has signed up for as a MLB outfielder, and he is very good at it. But right now with him on the sidelines, letting his mind play the event over and over again, it is a dangerous time for Upton.
The sooner Upton can again take stride towards the field, take total command again of his position and hope for a redemption screaming line drive hit either to his left or right. Until that moment, Upton will rethink the event in his head, replaying it, trying to dissect it like a Science experiment instead of accepting it is part of the game. Mental toughness is as important to his game persona as his sweet swing. Letting him simmer in the dugout possibly doing a replay over and over in his mind is not good for him or the team.
I have a gut feeling the first fly ball into the gaps or in front of Upton is key to his return to the field. No matter if it is BP or game time, that first blast towards him will cause a reaction, my guess it will trigger the old “Upton” to get on his high horse and pull that stray ball into his glove like he has 1,000’s of times before. But he must first step on the field for the real on-the-job healing to begin.

I was there and it was bad but you’re right he does need to get back out there and learn from it…It really was DJ’s ball BJ just covers so damn much area. LoveBees
I played Third Base for a long time as a kid and through college, and I know if I quit after the first ball came up and bopped me in the face or nose, I would of been done at 10 yrs old. “Getting Back on the Horse”, putting yourself in the same situation and conquering it is key to getting your confidence back and making strides to become fearless again. I agree, sometimes BJ can over run a screaming ball and has a habit of not announcing his presence with authority. He doesn’t have to yell, but a little vocal acknowledgement might have prevented the collision a bit. But Upton is still a top tier CFer who can get almost any ball hit in the air. Problem right now is he is healing physically while I worry about him mentally. Hopefully by Sunday he will again be manning the gaps.

Why setting boundaries can save your life. | CFS Health
As I collapsed it felt like I was about to die..
It wasn’t until the week after I collapsed that I found out I’d had a full blown panic attack.. yay fun!
That was after pushing myself to the fullest, stressed out to the max and having literally no boundaries for years on end.
Passion was good they told me. Use it as much as you can they said..
I had convinced myself that because I had passion, I was unstoppable. I could do anything I want, whenever I want. So I would work til 12-1 am. I would be doing skype sessions before breakfast and after dinner. I would be exercising and emailing at the same time. I would be hanging out with family and friends, yet I would be working in my head instead of being present in a conversation. I was on a fast train that couldn’t slow down. I know I had to slow down but I didn’t know how.
Here I was teaching people how to recover from illness and get energy, yet I was on the other end with almost too much raw energy that I didn’t want to sleep or sit still.
I sped fast, I ate fast, I spoke fast, I typed fast. Every I did was fast. So bad so that I almost lost my license for speeding. It was like I was running on quicksand. If I slowed down I was going to get bogged and sink.
As I say to my clients, it is only a problem when it becomes a problem.. For many years this fast lifestyle was not a problem, but after a few years it became a big one.
When you neglect you become at effect, meaning you feel like life is happening to you, not for you.
That was when the stress went into overdrive and eventually led me to the collapse from a panic attack.
If you have every experienced panic or anxiety you know how dreadful it is..
If you relate to my story then you may be a little like me…
Rushing woman/man syndrome, constantly saying yes when deep down you want to say no, having 100 million to do lists in your head and feeling like you can never get them done, hanging out with people you really don’t want to hang out with. Overworking because you feel as though if you don’t achieve you are not good enough or worthy of success. Taking breaks is not an option. You have two lives. One online and one offline. You think the busier you are, the more successful you are. You are empty on the inside, yet it feels too scary to be on your own so you become busier so you don’t have a moment and deal with your internal feelings. These are just some of the reasons why we behave in a way that we just can’t slow down.
No wonder why as a collective the people are more stressed then ever.
Most of the above is either creating a stress response or coming from one.
If you don’t have boundaries and you are a YES kind of person we can most likely say two things about you. You don’t like to sit still and you don’t like being on your own sitting still.
For most of the time you are most likely tired but wired.
Meditation feels like another task that stresses you out, becoming a buddhist monk is definitely not on the cards for you..
The good news is you don’t have to change who you are.. you just have to change how you do things.
The key to this is boundaries.
Because not having them can be a disaster.
We all need some internal boundaries that can be our guiding compass in life.
Here are some tools that may help you.
The first 3 are boring but crucial. Don’t neglect the pillars of health first. Second we will set up some mental/emotional boundaries to help you.
1. Sleep is the most crucial life saver. You need to make sleep your priority. Think about all the late nights you have, the pushing through tiredness and burning the candle at both ends. You are most likely in sleep debt and you need to start paying the sleep bank back. Set a bed time. 10 pm works for me. Waking up at a similar time each more is also good. If your body is asking for an afternoon nap, take one – even a 20 min power nap can help. Tips for good sleep are blocking out all the dark. You can buy an eye mask which is useful in doing that. Get rid of all electronics at least 30 mins before bed. It really does help. Avoid moderate to high intensity exercise 4-5 hours before bed. No stimulants after 11 am. Example no coffee. No coffee at all would be better. Try black tea as a substitute. Avoid over eating at dinner. Nothing worse then trying to sleep on a full stomach. If you like eating a big dinner, have it 4 hours before bed, not 1.
2. Nutrition – Eating food is really important. How you eat it and what you eat is important too. You know the deal. Just eat whole healthy foods. If it comes in a package it probably isn’t great for you. Don’t complicate it. Eat what is right for you. Find out what you like by trialling different healthy foods and eat it. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sit down and eat it. No phone, no working, just be present and eat mindfully. Consciously chew slower and appreciate what you have got in front of you. Water is part of nutrition. If you are dehydrated you are going to be tired. Drink water through out the entire day. Especially in the morning when you wake.
3. Movement. It doesn’t have to be daily, however 3-4 times a week can be a good start, and it doesn’t have to be much. Depending on your energy levels and health, choose movement that is specific to you. If you are unsure about this find a qualified health coach who can give you what you need. One thing to avoid when you are already stressed out to the max is pushing yourself hard. Don’t add more stress to an already stressed out body. It needs love, it needs energy, not neglect and exert. Restorative breathing, restorative movement, walks, biking, yoga (stretches), strength training. Stay in a calm state as you do these activities. If it’s too much, back it off. I usually say to my clients – start with 50% LESS then you think you should do. Getting into the psychology as to why your exercising too. If you are doing it for the wrong reasons, you may treat it like a mind over body game which can be detrimental to your health and wellbeing.
Okay now we can get into the fun stuff.
1. Say NO more often. Yes you, learn to say no.
2. Get a structure and routine and stick to it!
3. Only say YES if it is a HELL YES. Prioritise what is important to you and stick to it.
4. Schedule in your “own time”
5. Force yourself to take 5-10 min breaks every hour if you are a high achiever or over worker who can’t switch off.
6. Be MINDFUL. I don’t mean become a hippy. I mean become mindful when you are doing things. Remember you can still work hard at what you want to do, but work SMART. If you are entering whatever you are doing in a rushed stress state, being mindful of that and then changing your approach can make a HUGE difference.
7. Create breathing space.
8. Reflect. Stop and reflect to see where you are at and what you need in that moment.
9. Observe your behaviour patterns. Why are you doing what you are doing? Is it serving you?
10. Get perspective. Sometimes our perceived problems are no longer a problem when a true crisis hits.
11. Buy some perspective. Whether it is with a coach or a therapist. Talking to someone so you can open up and stop internalising everything is healthy. Gaining perspective from an outsiders view will give you new insights to yourself that you didn’t even know about.
12. Stop trying so damn hard. That is all you do and sometimes it’s okay not to try. Be okay with it.
In ending this summary I am going to leave you with this quote which puts life into perspective and know that just like the seasons change from summer to winter so can you.
Planting and fertilising your seeds (from a client)
You have planted and tended your fields diligently. And like every good farmer will tell you, if you keep ploughing at the right times, fertilising, planting seeds, and keep up the appropriate nourishment, you will reap a great harvest. Most seeds are good and they flourish, but some never take and just whither … the farmer watches his crop closely giving it every chance to thrive. He knows nature will do the rest. Sunshine, rain and wind all contribute to a crops strength and its yield. Life and it’s many varied elements are all part of growing from a seed into a fully fledged golden harvest. That is the way of things … how else would a shaft of wheat learn to stand tall, proud and strong, against so many odds?
With love,

Get Grounded
Suffering from mental constipation?
Is your head full of fecal matter from listening to the MSM and Communist politicians?
Can’t dislodge it? Can’t move it? An ideological enema ineffective?”
A red pill nowhere to be found by virtue of Big Tech censorship and media bias and exclusion?
Nowhere to turn to evacuate falsehoods?
No worries. Help is at hand:
Inversion Therapy!
What is inversion therapy?
The protocol is simple:
First stop standing on your head.
Then flip over and stand right-side up on your feet.
Blood flow returns to your brain and suddenly you realize that reality is the inverse of everything you heard or saw on CBC Pravda.
Now you are grounded on facts.
Now you can see the facts that the CBC omitted.
Enough facts to fill the Grand Canyon. Facts which contradict the official narrative. Facts recited by highly credentialed virologists and immunologists and professors and family medical practitioners who see what is happening to their vaccinated patients. Facts about the number of nurses who forfeited their careers rather comply with an order that is unconstitutional, or take a vaccine that their experience and training told them was a pig in a poke. Facts that suggested that VAER’s stats on vaccine-related deaths are vastly under reported. Facts that refute the misrepresentations of ivermectin by the medical establishment and their media allies.
Trouble is, once you do that, once the facts are in your possession, you won’t be able to have a conversation with anyone in your family.
Peace at last. Thank God in Heaven Peace at Last!

A new Russian law will further separate the country from the global internet
Kate Fazzini
Russian President Vladimir Putin attends a ceremony to bestow state awards on military personnel who fought in Syria, at the Kremlin in Moscow on December 28, 2017.
A new law that could further cordon Russia from the global internet passed the country's parliament this week and awaits President Vladimir Putin's signature.
Moscow has positioned the law as a security and privacy measure, meant to counter what it has said is an increasingly aggressive cybersecurity stance by the U.S. and increasingly risky threat landscape generally. But activists and other international observers outside Russia say the law would give Putin's government far greater control over internet traffic within the country, despite measures already in place to tamp down on dissent.
Russia already keeps a relatively tight grip on allowing U.S. social media companies there, providing government-backed alternatives to popular services like Facebook (VKontakte or VK in Russia) and Google's Gmail ( in Russia).
However the law is executed, it could further contribute to what Eugene Kaspersky — CEO of the eponymous security company that has been censured in the U.S. for its alleged Kremlin ties — calls the "Balkanization of the internet," and what Google's Eric Schmidt said is a trend toward an internet split between hostile countries, creating separate internets based on geopolitics.
What is it and why is it controversial?
The new Stable Runet law would give the Russian communications regulator, known as Roskomnadzor, broader powers to monitor network traffic and potentially provide a "kill switch" to disconnect Russia from the wider internet in the event of cyberattack. Essentially, the law is meant to help create a digital drawbridge between Russia and the rest of the world that the country can raise in an emergency.
While the Kremlin says the law is meant to increase security, many observers, especially human rights groups, have speculated it will further increase censorship initiatives from Putin's government.
That's because the law was proposed by the same group of lawmakers in Russia who recently passed a law criminalizing the spread of online news that disrespects the government, said Aleksandr Yampolskiy, CEO of network security rating company SecurityScorecard.
"First, they made the language very broad. If you operate a network in Russia, you are required to create a way to have government oversight of that information," he said.
The law also lacks specifics, Yampolskiy said, an indication the Kremlin is building in some wiggle room for how exactly it will be enforced.
"The language is deliberately vague and broad, so that will also be something for [business] to consider, since it's unclear what you are going to have to do to comply," he said.
But it will probably become another tool to enforce positive messaging about Putin's government, Yampolskiy said.
The law also doesn't provide much information as to how it will be accomplished technologically, said Natalia Gulyaeva, head of the Moscow intellectual property, media and technology practice group for law firm Hogan Lovells.
"Theoretically, the law encompasses installing new equipment on data transfer points in order to secure functionality of [the] Russian part of Internet in case of any global shutdowns," she said. "The authors of the law have not provided any comments on the technical side of the law."
Not as strict as China, but riskier for foreign businesses
Russia and China are frequently put into similar categories as countries racing to further limit speech on the internet.
But the new Russian law is not as restrictive as "The Great Firewall of China," which allows Beijing to monitor communications and prohibits access to a wide range of U.S. and global websites.
"China's Great Wall was established when the Internet came to China, so it developed along with the development of the internet in China," said Gulyaeva.
China's system provides direct control of internet traffic to the Communist Party government in Beijing, while the Russian proposal gives indirect control to several bodies — including the Roskomnadzor, the Federal Security Service and the central Russian government.
"For instance, the law imposes obligations on communications service providers to filter information received from cross-border data transfers and purchase special equipment which will create autonomy of the Russian part of the internet," she said.
However, the move is riskier for foreign business interests in Russia than similar censorship moves are for businesses in China. The law will likely put obligations on any U.S. company that operates networks in Russia to replace equipment, and possibly raise concerns about government-sponsored surveillance of enterprises with offices there, said Yampolskiy.
However, Russia has a lot less leverage because many foreign businesses could withdraw. "Obviously, this is a much smaller economy, and there are a lot fewer incentives to negotiate with any onerous new requirements," he said.
WATCH: Stronger ties between Russia and US would benefit global economy, says Russian finance minister

Actions from Ian Gotts Movable Type Pro 4.37 2010-12-02T09:21:00Z Commented on What was the biggest development for BPM in 2010? in ebizQ Forum,2010:/blogs/ebizq_forum//43.18693#13145 2010-12-02T14:21:00Z Ian Gotts Very senior management understanding the importance of BPM for cost cutting, efficiency, process improvement and compliance.
We have seen a marked increase in the level of seniority of person in the customer who is driving the programmes and a resulting increase in scope of project, ROI and hence license fees 8-). We are seeing that it has moved from a project approach to being part of Operational Strategy.
This is very evident looking back at our Inspiring Performance ( annual conferences over the last 3 years; the level of speaker (now VP), the scope of projects (global roll-out) and the ROI ($100m+).
We now have clients who are developing TV quality videos to promote the value of BPM (and use of Nimbus) for INTERNAL USE, AT THEIR COST. This signals that BPM's time has come.
Maybe this image form Just a Thought sums it up:
I was recently interviewed by IQPC on the future of BPM, which is here
Commented on Is developing a process mindset important for BPM success? in ebizQ Forum,2010:/blogs/ebizq_forum//43.18640#12450 2010-11-10T21:41:51Z Ian Gotts Does a one-legged duck swim in circles?
Commented on Who Will Win the Race...Content-Centric BPMs or Human-Centric BPMs? in ebizQ Forum,2010:/blogs/ebizq_forum//43.18614#12313 2010-11-03T14:46:53Z Ian Gotts SocialBPM, BPA for the Masses, User-centric BPM, Content-centric BPM, BPM, Intelligent Operations Manual...
Please feel free to add your version to the list.
Every company on the planet loses if vendors and analysts continue to intellectually masturbate over the title.
Why companies do they lose? Because it means that they wil be confused and therefore continue to use MS Powerpoint, Visio or a technically focused modeling tool - which end users reject. And therefore the benefits of consistency and compliance evaporate.
Can we all agree on one term for the (manual and automated) processes that are documented that end users are prepared to look at, understand and use.
Hint: BTW That is not BPMN
Commented on Does the Language of Process Matter? in ebizQ Forum,2010:/blogs/ebizq_forum//43.18571#11945 2010-10-20T04:06:54Z Ian Gotts Like any language, it is not the words you say (shapes/symbols), the sentences (diagrams) but what you are trying to convey which is important. ie the result or outcome.
This is why you need to explain to senior execs "Why" you are (or want to) conducting the project rather than "What" or "How". For them the outcome is such things as reduced risk, reduced costs, better customer or employee sat or higher NPS (net promoter score).
Only once they understand Why, and only if they are interested should you get into What or How.
And you should avoid using the word process.
So for Nimbus the Why is "To make work easier, faster and more valuable for millions of people". Enough said.
Commented on What's the Next Big Thing in Enterprise Architecture? in ebizQ Forum,2010:/blogs/ebizq_forum//43.18541#11704 2010-10-07T06:54:19Z Ian Gotts The next big thing is Less is More.
Giving up / compromising on functionality to be able to use the same tool/application as the end users, so there is a single/shared model for both EA and the business operational processes.
Not possible. Wrong. We have clients with over 75 operating units and 250,000 staff achieving it. And IT were the ones that agreed to give up on EA functionality to get i) end user adoption ii) version control iii) auditable collaborative change cycle
Commented on Is Cloud Computing Entering the Trough of Disillusionment? in Cloud Talk,2010:/blogs/cloudtalk//62.18528#11689 2010-10-06T12:04:57Z Ian Gotts Not if you base it on the amount of VC being thrown around.
I was presenting last week about BPM & Cloud and got a great question. "Is Cloud Computing like the DotCom era".
My ans: YES
DotCom - web, brochureware, ecommerce, consumer
Cloud - corporate, apps, business meets consumer (social)
Commented on Is it Possible to Create and Sustain an Enterprise-Wide Framework That is a Single Source of Truth About Process? in ebizQ Forum,2010:/blogs/ebizq_forum//43.18538#11687 2010-10-06T10:19:54Z Ian Gotts This question can be answered from a number of different perspectives, because 'process' means something different form different groups across the enterprise.
We recently wrote a blog called "What Hat Are Your Wearing" which looked at process from 4 perspectives
Green Hat - end users (operational manual)
White Hat - IT (information architecture)
Blue Hat - IT system (transaction)
Red Hat - Compliance (busniess controls)
Each group wants to have a single source of truth that is consistent and agreed within their domain.
Take the Green Hats. There is huge value in every one having a shared, understood and adopted set of processes (working practices) across the world. But before you start shouting at me, of course there will be local differences, but lets keep those down at the lowest level of detail. So every retail store working in the same way. and when a better way of working is discovered, every one else gets to benefit; new product releases, customer returns, stock takes, staff induction, resourcing for Christmas rush, credit card fraud and the list goes on. If you want to see this in practice watch this video
The same approach could be said of the White Hats. The company wants only one Information Architecture and as few applications as possible, ideally not customised for every division, department or country operation.
And the Blue Hats and the Red Hats.
So the question is can you have a Single Source of Truth shared across all 4 coloured hats. If you are small organisation, then the answer is probably yes. But if you are a major multi-national, which is most of Nimbus clients, the answer is no. You may have Green Hat models for each business unit, one White Hat model, one Blue Hat and a Red Hat for each Green Hat model.
What is CRITICAL is that each model has linkages with the others, so if one changes the impact on the others is easily identified and understood. This can be achieved by a single tool/application/repository with each Hat making some compromises as to functionality. Or is could be 1 or 2 tools with integrations.

Harsh criticism for a company that built to a significant size. But I do agree that they seemed unable to change to address the disrupting effect of the internet. In a (albeit long) word : disintermediation.
Music CDs sales, print newspapers, physical software distribution have all been transformed eliminating the middlemen, as I discussed in this eWeek article
Commented on Why Do So Many BPM Projects Fail? in ebizQ Forum,2010:/blogs/ebizq_forum//43.18481#11338 2010-09-15T16:05:43Z Ian Gotts When you write a book you think about the audience. You don't just boot MSWord and start typing.
So why do BPM projects turn into "Let's automate this process" or "Let's map this process" with no thought of the eventual recipient ie end user.
So user adoption is often at the heart of the problem. Discussed at length (200 pages) in my book Common Approach, Uncommmon Results.
A good implementation example is Carphone Warehouse. Here is a video of the end (real) users in the Richmond store, videoed with no warning or scripting.
Carphone Warehouse using their B2C marketing savvy to really engage the end users, and in return got a staggering ROI. Here is the video of the project sponsor. a very happy chappie.

Commented on BPM Mistakes in BPM from a Business Point of View,2010:/blogs/bpm_business//70.18356#10561 2010-07-28T16:38:36Z Ian Gotts The biggest mistake I see made (oddly enough encouraged by the BPMS / workflow vendors) is to automate before they have mapped.
"The only place process automation is ahead of process mapping is in the dictionary."
Discover - simplify - automate .... in that order
Commented on Is Social BPM Really a Ground Breaking, New Phenomenon? in ebizQ Forum,2010:/blogs/ebizq_forum//43.18355#10556 2010-07-28T13:53:55Z Ian Gotts According to the analysts, Social BPM is new. Certainly the terminology is new, but are the concepts behind it?
In Gartner's recent BPM Hype Cycle, SocialBPM is near the bottom starting the climb to the Peak of Inflated Expectations.
But I believe that "the future is already here - it is just unevenly distributed". By that I mean I can point at 100's of clients who are routinely engaging their end users to drive business process improvement. Are they using Twitter, LinkedIn or GoogleGroups. No - but they are using these style capabilities embedded within their BPM applications, optimised for driving sustainable, auditable change.
That is why it is easy to get cynical about analysts getting all frothy and excited when a BPM vendor, possibly late to the party, launches their "BPM V6 with added SocialBPM zest" product. See my blog "Social BPM - new and improved"
But does that mean companies like Nimbus, Business Genetics and others can sit on their laurels and say "We were doing this since R1.0"
Clearly not. Embracing what is best from the current crop of Social Networking tools can make their products stronger at engaging end users. Because that is what is at the heart of Social BPM.
An end to end process must accurately represent what end users do on the ground, and have the mechanisms to allow them to suggest changes which are rapidly incorporated. At the same time as tracking an auditable change cycle for compliance.
Put mathematically : R = I x A x A > results = initiative x adoption (squared)
This is taken from Common Approach, Uncommon Results book
Without end user adoption, what is documented and what is actually done will rapidly diverge. And then, even if the processes are in the newest SocialBPM tool it is simply 'Lipstick on a pig".
Commented on How Do You Build Solid ROI For a Company's First BPM Project? in ebizQ Forum,2010:/blogs/ebizq_forum//43.18342#10419 2010-07-21T06:47:36Z Ian Gotts Sometimes it is difficult ot build a really solid ROI for a first time project, especially if you are spending money on a different process tool ie Not Visio or Powerpoint.
So pick a project with high buy-in and impact rather than the largest ROI - so "on-boarding new staff" rather than "quote-to-cash". There are often enough examples of other clients to help build that ROI.
Watching a recent Harry Potter film got me thinking of the challenges of ROI for the film industry... and the lastest film "Harry Potter and the Leap of Faith"
Commented on Why Hasn't BPM Taken Off Like ERP or CRM? in ebizQ Forum,2010:/blogs/ebizq_forum//43.18322#10325 2010-07-14T00:00:00Z Ian Gotts BPM cannot generate large enough projects (multiple $ m) for the big consultancies. And it is they who generate demand in clients. Look at the growth of Siebel.
The only company that has broken through without BIG4 consulting support is
Selling into a known space (CRM), with a compelling proposition (Cloud) which enabled a "below the radar" / "land and expand" approach, but fuelled by collosal amounts of VC.
Commented on Is It Inevitable That ECM and BPM Will Be Integrated Into One System in the Future? in ebizQ Forum,2010:/blogs/ebizq_forum//43.18303#10266 2010-07-07T13:54:48Z Ian Gotts The two are inextricably linked already. If I want to perform some task such as sign off a PO then I probably need to access the Purchase Policy document which will be part of ECM. So Nimbus Control has a combination of BPM & ECM and has had for the last 10 years. That is because we are user-centric process management rather than a process workflow engine.
But there is another area that is becoming combined with BPM and ECM. That is LMS (Learning Management Systems).

Tumko Na Bhool Payenge (2002)
I had long being curious about this movie for some reason, which i blame on the name, i find films with long names appealing for some reason
Our story begins with Veer (Salman Khan) who lives a happy life with his "parents" Thakur Kunal Singh (Sharat Saxena) and Geeta (Nishiganda Wad)
He meets Sapna (Diya Mirza) and as usual the two fall in love ('ahhhh')
Plans are made for their marriage, soon after Veer starts getting weird visions and apparitions, leading everyone to panic and worry about him
Following an attack by gang memebers on the day of the wedding, Veer surprisingly manages to fight them all
again he starts getting weird flashbacks and he notices bullet wounds on his body prompting him to ask his parents to help him remember who he is
Thakur Kunal reveals to him that they're not his real parents, and that they had picked him up when they had gone to distribute their dead son's ashes by the river
Veer is eager to find out who he is and heads off to Mumbai. Following an encounter with a pickpocket and other events in Mumbai he soon finds out his real name is Ali
He then remebers his girlfriend Mehek (Sushmita Sen)
and his younger brothers Inder and Azad
He remembers how a staged false shooting of a politician had gone wrong with the said politician being shot dead
As a result Veer was blamed for the killing and has been on the run ever since then
What will be his fate? Will he be able to explain his actions? How would Veer now Ali resolve his love relationship with Muskaan whom he had left behind at the village and Mahek his girlfriend in Bombay? Who shot him and how did he end up by the river? Watch Tumko Na Bhool Payenge (I can't forget you)
Of course some of you might have noticed that this film has some shades of Bourne Identity and The long Kiss Goodnight to it, as i haven't seen both movies in ages i don't know much or to what extent it rips them off
Tumko Na Bhool Payenge is enjoyable though, it could have been edited better and Salman's acting is laughable in some scenes
Someone please tell my why is that when Salman is crying or attempts to cry i can't help but start laughing
'Ha ha ha ha ha ha'
Incoherencies also abound, like how the hell did Veer get shot five times and even fall into a river without dying, anyway this film is still enjoyable and is nothing but 21st century masala for the masses, the story or the main plot takes a full hour or more than to set but i guess the director wanted to give audiences their full taste of Romance/action/naach gaana
Lots of shirtless Salman Moments abound, so if you're after eyecandy you'll get your money's worth
I loved the way the flashbacks were filmed in a sepia like tone giving it a tarantionesque feel
I was also impressed by Inder Kumar this is my first film with him in, he was impressive
Also added to the mix was Hot Cop Mukesh Rishi
Although not having much to do Diya and Sushmita were sweet and sufficient in their roles
Sushmita really should belong in my sunglass post
Fab music too by Daboo Malik/Sajid Wajid i don't know how they worked it out amongst themselves but i liked them all, there's the fun wedding song 'Mehndi Hai Lagi' the mellow rhythms of the title track 'yeh bekhudi deewangi' a Eid celebratory song 'Mubarak eid Mubarak' the groovy rhythms of 'Kyon khanke teri choodi' and the earworm worthy 'bindiya chamkegi'
Total Score: 6/10 (Enjoyable Action Thriller Masala)
Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge is available on Youtube with English Subtitles in 18 Parts
Nicki said...
Only a 5.5? I liked it. I would give it a 7. Sallu is really good. The girls were wasted but good at what was given to them. The movie rips off The Long Kiss Goodnight.
dustedoff said...
I will probably never end up seeing this (since I find it hard to bear Salman Khan - and yes, that screen cap with him crying makes me want to crack up with laughter too!). But at least it's a change from the reincarnation theme - when I first began reading your post and there was that bit about flashbacks and bullet wounds, I thought "Not another Karz or Om Shanti Om! If for nothing else, for that I just might give this a shot. Comes on TV fairly often.
avdi said...
Isnt the name, Tumko Naa Bhool Payenge? Or was it just the song?
Looks like nice masala.
bollywooddeewana said...
Nicki i actually meant to give it a six, that was my original score. Sallu was likable but i found him a bit a hammy in a few scenes but i did enjoy the movie overall
@ dustedoff I would say give it a dekho if it comes on Tv, its enjoyable
@ Avdi it is indeed an enjoyable masala, the movie is indeed Tumko na bhool paayenge thanks a lot for correcting me on that
Darshit said...
well, i m also curious about this movie that what it is all about. I still haven't got to see it. But I love its music. The one you forgot, 'Kya hua tujhe' - Sallu and Sush has perfect chemistry :)
bollywooddeewana said...
Yes indeed i forgot taht one its a good song, get to see it if you get the chance its an enjoyable masala

It is a notion particularly popular among Chinese high school Biology textbooks, that the red blood cells in frogs can undergo amitosis (not mitosis), a claim which I have not been able to find reference. A search on Pubmed led me to this article, which states:
The nucleus of the frog erythrocyte is not a regular ellipsoid; ... a single nuclear invagination located at one end of the long axis is frequently seen in the phase microscope.
However I have also been unable to find more recent researches on the nature of this observation, and whether it is related to amitosis. Can you help me find some?
Unlike mammalian blood cells, blood cells in Amphibia are nucleated (as the paper in your link explains) and can perform cell division (here is an old paper from Acta Haematologica, 1954: https://www.karger.com/Article/Pdf/204534).
Your question is: is this division a regular mitosis or the so called amitosis? According to Barni et al., 1995, amphibian blood cells can perform amitotic cell division:
The proliferation of haemopoietic cells, detected by the anti-BrdU labelling index, was accompanied by absence of mitotic cell division and the appearance of cells showing features of amitosis (e.g. nuclear constrictions with bundles of electron-dense chromatin)
Source: Barni, S., Fraschini, A., Prosperi, E., Vaccaronel, R. and Bernini, F. (1995) ‘Possible occurrence of amitotic cell division during haemopoiesis in the Urodeles’, Comparative Haematology International, 5(3), pp. 183–188. doi: 10.1007/bf00368042.
"Circulating" Red Blood cells are terminally differentiated cells, and cannot divide further. What appears to be the notion is that ejection of nuclear content is biased to one daughter cell (which is then eaten up by macrophages), and some researchers have dubbed it as amitotic process, instead of defining it as a maturation process. In case of humans the process of losing the nucleus from erythroblasts occurs prior to entry in circulation (in adults). You can read this if interested.
However, exceptions do exist... in newborns (and even in foetuses) nucleated red blood cells can be seen in circulation (although the count maybe low). In foetuses, this count is usually high when the oxygen demand increases (hypoxic/acidemia conditions). Read here.
The process from normoblasts to reticulocytes and finally RBCs is one of the setting points in evolution. In frogs (or amphibians in general), and other lower vertebrates (like fish, reptiles etc.) the presence of nucleated blood cells just identifies them as less advanced on the evolutionary-tree. Since higher order vertebrates have smaller blood vessels and complex respiratory organisation, evolution decided to squeeze out the nuclei from these cells to allow easy passage even via micron-thin vessels without compromising oxygen transport.
In short, the presence of nuclei doesn't necessarily determine the mitotic capability. RBCs have long been considered as terminally differentiated cells, and do not divide. If there are any studies reporting "circulating" RBCs as (a)mitotically active, I am unaware of it.

Analysis: In impeachment fight, it's Trump vs. Constitution
• In Politics
• 2019-10-11 11:44:18Z
• By Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - Donald Trump has spent his time in office trying to bend the conventions of the American presidency to his will. Now he appears to be trying to override a core principle of democracy: that no one is above the law.
Faced with an impeachment inquiry, Trump has openly defied the core constructs of the Constitution. He chafes at the idea of co-equal branches of government and rejects the House's right to investigate him.
He has deployed a convoluted logic in which he has declared that the courts can't investigate him because as president he cannot be charged with a crime but also that Congress cannot impeach him because its inquiry is politically illegitimate.
It's a "heads he wins, tails you lose" formulation.
"It's anathema to his character and his life story to be checked and balanced by anything," said presidential historian Jon Meacham, a professor at Vanderbilt University. "The Constitution was formed to contain appetite. And we now have the president who is driven entirely by appetite."
In a scathing eight-page letter this week, the Republican president's lawyers served notice there will be no cooperation with the impeachment inquiry.
Trump's White House has ignored document requests and subpoenas. It readily invokes executive privilege - going so far as to argue that the privilege extends to informal presidential advisers who never held White House jobs. And his team all but dares Democrats to hold them in contempt.
The impeachment standoff follows a pattern Trump has established throughout his presidency as he has jettisoned experienced advisers and flouted conventions.
The fact that he survived the special counsel's Russia investigation without paying much of a political penalty left him all the more emboldened.
One day after Robert Mueller's faltering testimony brought an end to that threat, Trump unleashed a new one by asking Ukraine's president to investigate his political foe Joe Biden. That prompted the fast-moving impeachment inquiry that Trump now resists.
After two weeks of a listless and unfocused response to the impeachment probe, the White House letter to Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi this week was a declaration of war.
While it was filled with dubious legal arguments, its intent was clear: Trump would not play ball, claiming that the game was rigged against him.
As for all the subpoenas flying from House Democrats, an exasperated Trump said Thursday, "You're running a country, I just don't think that you can have all of these people testifying about every conversation you've had."
And as for the Democrats, Trump claimed Wednesday they're the ones playing dirty "because they have a tiny margin in the House."
"They have eviscerated the rules," he said. "They don't give us any - any fair play. It's the most unfair situation people have seen."
The Constitution gives the House "the sole power of impeachment." But it confers that authority without providing any guidelines, which the White House has seized upon in demanding that Pelosi call for a vote to authorize the inquiry as happened in the last two impeachment inquiries.
No vote is required, and Trump's strategy risks further provoking Democrats in the impeachment probe, setting up court challenges and the potential for lawmakers to draw up an article of impeachment for obstructing their investigations.
"The president does not have all-consuming power," said Nick Ackerman, a member of the Watergate prosecution team that investigated President Richard Nixon. "We play by certain rules, and we expect the rule of law to apply. We don't have checks and balances if he ignores them. That itself is an impeachable offense, which is what Nixon faced."
It is unclear whether Democrats would wade into a lengthy legal fight with the administration over documents and testimony or if they would just move straight to considering articles of impeachment.
Trump, for his part, has never been one to rely on legality or logic in making his arguments.
In the last week alone, he called for the impeachment of Sen. Mitt Romney and Rep. Adam Schiff - events that can't occur - and in part justified his decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria, leaving the Kurds vulnerable to Turkish attacks, by saying the Kurds did not assist at Normandy during World War II.
Since taking office, he has taken repeatedly taken unilateral action to defy Congress and push the limits of his own power, declaring a national emergency so he could divert funds for a border wall and taking executive action to try to halt immigration from several Muslim-majority nations.
Trump on Thursday punctuated a tweet about unfair media coverage with four words that seemed to sum up his entire viewpoint of the American system: "Oh well, I'm President!"
The Constitution was built to withstand tests like this.
"Both the strength of the American system and one of its most frustrating aspects is that it's incredibly difficult to do anything quickly, particularly bad things, which the founders believed would happen more often than good things," Meacham said. "Checks and balances were created so one bad actor could not dominate the proceedings. We now have that bad actor."

There has been a flurry of articles recently about the rise in research on brown adipose tissue (BAT), endogenous body fat that contains higher levels of mitochondria and is used to help keep the body warm. Until only three years ago, this holy grail of body tissues (“good” fat that burns significantly more calories and can help rid the body of “bad” fat) was thought to exist only in rodents, where it was more commonly seen in the young and in thinner animals. However, BAT has also been seen in human infants, important in helping to keep newborns warm as they can not shiver to create their own body heat. BAT was thought to gradually disappear as individuals aged, but it is now believed that adults can retain small levels of their brown fat from childhood, with thinner individuals maintaining more, and that exercise can aid in this retention
How BAT promoted weight loss was not understood until recently. Researchers from Canada shed light on this process using PET-CT scans to identify the metabolic processes involved in BAT. Published this month in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers subjected participants to acute cold exposure by placing them in a special liquid thermo-controlled suit at a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius (64 degrees Fahrenheit) for 90 minutes. During the course of this exposure, brown fat in the upper back experienced a significant increase in cell metabolism while working to keep the body warm, a process dubbed “cold-induced nonshivering thermogenesis”. Researchers hypothesized that this increase in BAT metabolism was initially fueled by elevations in extracellular glucose and fatty acid uptake, but that when these levels were depleted the tissue began drawing on stores of intracellular triglycerides, meaning that BAT was burning off lipid reserves during cold exposure.
As such, total energy expenditure of participants increased during the study by a whopping 80%, resulting in an average burn of an additional 250 calories. Curiously, there was no significant interaction between the amount of brown fat an individual had and caloric expenditure despite a wide variability in BAT levels, though this could be due to the small study sample size, involving only six participants. There was an interaction between BAT and thermogenesis though, with the added increase in metabolism helping to keep an individual warmer longer, and the more brown fat a participant had the longer and colder conditions he or she could stand before starting to shiver.
A second study on brown fat looked at a more elusive type whose production is promoted through exercise. Published this month in the journal Nature, researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute discovered a new hormone, christened irisin, that seems to help transform white fat into brown fat. This production is dependent upon the transcriptional co-activator PGC1-α, a protein found in muscle tissue that is generated during exercise and involved in metabolism, cell genesis, and protection against muscle atrophy.
Knowing its vast beneficial effects, scientists bred mice to have elevated levels of PGC1-α to determine its influence on BAT and energy expenditure. Although the increase in protein had no effect on either brown or typical white adipose tissue, there were effects in a special type of subcutaneous white fat that is more susceptible to “browning”. This process involves increases in levels of the protein UCP1, which is highly active in brown fat cells and is involved in thermogenesis. These same effects also seem to occur following a regular exercise program in mice, facilitated by changes in mRNA expression induced by increases in PGC1-α and subsequent protein production.

Jim Cramer on how Donald Trump hinting at firing Dr. Anthony Fauci could affect markets
•
• Published on: 11/2/2020
• "I think that anything that signals that you don't listen to the scientists is positive for the market," CNBC's Jim Cramer said Monday. "If you follow the science, you have to close the bars and restaurants… There isn't any scientist who thinks that those should stay open. So the president, if he fires Fauci, that means what he says is basically science doesn't matter so let's just keep the bars and restaurants open."

The list of sinners (1 Tim. 1:10)
“This includes
Slave traders,
And whatever else
Is contrary
To sound teaching.”
πόρνοις, ἀρσενοκοίταις, ἀνδραποδισταῖς, ψεύσταις, ἐπιόρκοις, καὶ εἴ τι ἕτερον τῇ ὑγιαινούσῃ διδασκαλίᾳ ἀντίκειται,
Paul said, “This includes fornicators (πόρνοις), sodomites (ἀρσενοκοίταις), slave traders (ἀνδραποδισταῖς), liars (ψεύσταις), perjurers (ἐπιόρκοις), and whatever else (καὶ εἴ τι ἕτερον) is contrary (ἀντίκειται) to sound teaching (τῇ ὑγιαινούσῃ διδασκαλίᾳ).” Only the Pauline letters used this word πόρνοις, that means a fornicator, a man who prostitutes himself, and the word ἀρσενοκοίταις, that means a sodomite or a male engaging in same-gender sexual activity. Only this letter to Timothy used this unique word ἀνδραποδισταῖς, that means a slave dealer, an enslaver, one who forcibly enslaves, or a kidnapper, and the word ἐπιόρκοις that means sworn falsely or a perjurer. Paul listed a series of evil doers. They were acting against sound teaching. They were fornicators, sodomites, slave traders, liars, and perjurers. Obviously, Paul thought that they were serious enough to mention. In 1 Corinthians, chapter 6:9-10, he mentioned fornicators (οὔτε πόρνοι), idolaters (οὔτε εἰδωλολάτραι), adulterers (οὔτε μοιχοὶ), male prostitutes (οὔτε μαλακοὶ), or sodomites (οὔτε ἀρσενοκοῖται).” However, in Galatians, chapter 5:19, he gave another list, “Now the works of the flesh (τὰ ἔργα τῆς σαρκός) are obvious (φανερὰ δέ ἐστιν). They are fornication (ἅτινά ἐστιν πορνεία), impurity (ἀκαθαρσία), and licentiousness (ἀσέλγεια).” The lists are not exactly alike. Notice that Paul mentioned slave trading here and nowhere else. There were some actions that Paul would not tolerate. Anything against his teachings were considered to be against the correct teachings about being a Christian. What evil actions have you been involved with?

Former Nuclear Plant Worker Arrested - 2002-01-09
Police in California have arrested a former nuclear plant worker for allegedly making terrorist threats against former coworkers. Police found hundreds of weapons at the man's home and a nearby location.
Police say the 43-year-old man was fired last month from his job at the San Onofre nuclear generating station, 100 kilometers south of Los Angeles. Authorities say a search of his home and a nearby storage facility turned up a rocket launcher, several hand grenades, thousands of rounds of ammunition and more than 250 rifles and handguns.
The operator of the plant, Southern California Edison Company, said security at the facility is tight. But according to Jim Amormino of the Orange County Sheriff's Department, the man posed a serious threat to his former coworkers. "As in any terrorist threat," he said, "you have to ask yourself is he capable of carrying out that threat? He definitely had the means: over 250 weapons, 4,000 or 5,000 rounds of ammunition, hand grenades, tear gas. I would say he definitely had the means to carry out his threat."
Two police officers investigating the weapons cache were treated for exposure to fumes from an unknown chemical, described as a yellow powder which gave off vapors similar to tear gas.
A spokesman for the power plant say the man worked there as a maintenance mechanic since 1984 and did not have access to the nuclear reactor.
Police say he appeared to be seeking revenge for losing his job and was not involved in a wider terrorist plot.
The suspect is being held without bail. He faces possible charges of making a terrorist threat, possession of illegal firearms and possession of a controlled substance.

Sexual Hookup Culture: A Review
Want casual hookups no 41225
Connect culture is one that accepts after that encourages casual sex encounters, including one-night stands and other related activity, devoid of necessarily including emotional intimacybonding or a committed relationship. Most research on hookups has been focused on U. The rise of hookups, a form of casual sexhas been described by evolutionary biologist Justin Garcia and others at the same time as a cultural revolution that had its beginnings in the s. The sexual revolution of the s brought a loosening of sexual morals which allowed for sex to become uncoupled as of relationships and non-marital sex to be converted into more socially acceptable. Support for sexual freedom became increasingly popular as additional ideas and beliefs evolved about the positive and negative aspects of appealing in sexual intercourse. Feminism grew considerably in the s, with supporters arguing that a woman should have absolute control over her own body. Kathleen Bogle has stated that the budding acceptance of casual sex in the s could also be attributed en route for a sharp rise in female apprentice enrollment at colleges and universities. A few scholars, including Garcia and Freitas, allow found that datingwhile it has not disappeared, has decreased as the incidence of hookups have increased.
Researchers sent a voluntary online questionnaire en route for several hundred college students, and asked about their affectionate and intimate activities during sexual encounters in the contexts of both romantic relationships and accidental sex hookups. The researchers found, at the same time as they expected, that partners were add likely to engage in affectionate after that intimate activities in relationship sex than in casual sex— but the appraise of these acts in casual femininity was much higher than hypothesized. The students were randomly selected from a university in the U. Northeast after that answered questions about whether or not they engage in affectionate and allude to acts during sex, including cuddling, cost the night, eye gazing, and appealing in foreplay. They also indicated which of these acts they preferred all through casual hookup sex or sex all the rage the context of a romantic affiliation. The researchers hypothesized women would account being more likely to engage all the rage intimate acts in all scenarios.

Finding Ways To Keep Up With
Guidelines That You Can Use to Purchase Your Next Car
People tend to be very different and diverse and this is one of the things that you are likely to notice even as you grow older in life. The difference that is there in each individual is greatly attributed to the fact that people tend to have very different and diverse personalities. As a result of the differences in personality, how people process things and their thought processes tend to be completely different from the next person. As a result, the goals and objectives that people are working hard towards in life tend to be also unique to them. However, it is also common to find that in some cases, the goals and objectives that people have in life tend to be very similar. Purchasing a car for example, is one of those commonly shared goals and objectives that most people will most probably be working hard towards. And rightly so, because of the conveniences that are offered by owning your own car and moving away from the system of using public transportation.
There are generally two options that people who are looking to buy a vehicle can choose from; that is to either purchase a secondhand car that is in stellar condition order to work into a car bazaar and drive off with a brand-new car that no one else has ever driven or owned. If you are wondering what the difference is between purchasing a brand-new car and a secondhand car, it is there price tag. A brand-new car is much more expensive. The reason some people prefer working into a covers and driving off with a car that is new is that it is probably going to last longer and be more durable than a secondhand car. Whichever route you choose to take; it is important that you come up with a list of factors that will help you pick out the best car for you. In this article, we shall discuss some of the factors that you need to look into when purchasing a vehicle.
The first consideration that you want to have in mind, is the brand of vehicle that you want. You will realize as you do your research on what car to purchase, that some companies are known to produce vehicles that are reliable, durable and not often break down. You want to purchase from a company that is known for producing vehicles of substance.
Another very important consideration that you must have in mind when purchasing a vehicle is the type of vehicle that you want. There are very many types of vehicles such as sports car, sport utility vehicles and vans-you should purchase a car that you feel will meet your needs best.

Convert Bit/s to GByte/s (Data rate)
Bit/s into GByte/s
numbers in scientific notation
Direct link to this calculator:
How many GByte/s make 1 Bit/s?
1 Bit/s = 0.000 000 000 125 GByte/s - Measurement calculator that can be used to convert Bit/s to GByte/s, among others.
Convert Bit/s to GByte/s:
3. From the selection list, choose the unit that corresponds to the value you want to convert, in this case 'Bit/s'.
4. Finally choose the unit you want the value to be converted to, in this case 'GByte/s'.
With this calculator, it is possible to enter the value to be converted together with the original measurement unit; for example, '553 Bit/s'. In so doing, either the full name of the unit or its abbreviation can be used. Then, the calculator determines the category of the measurement unit of measure that is to be converted, in this case 'Data rate'. After that, it converts the entered value into all of the appropriate units known to it. In the resulting list, you will be sure also to find the conversion you originally sought. Alternatively, the value to be converted can be entered as follows: '86 Bit/s to GByte/s' or '27 Bit/s into GByte/s' or '67 Bit/s -> GByte/s' or '28 Bit/s = GByte/s'. For this alternative, the calculator also figures out immediately into which unit the original value is specifically to be converted. Regardless which of these possibilities one uses, it saves one the cumbersome search for the appropriate listing in long selection lists with myriad categories and countless supported units. All of that is taken over for us by the calculator and it gets the job done in a fraction of a second.
Furthermore, the calculator makes it possible to use mathematical expressions. As a result, not only can numbers be reckoned with one another, such as, for example, '(98 * 50) Bit/s'. But different units of measurement can also be coupled with one another directly in the conversion. That could, for example, look like this: '553 Bit/s + 1659 GByte/s' or '2mm x 88cm x 95dm = ? cm^3'. The units of measure combined in this way naturally have to fit together and make sense in the combination in question.

Which show command displays entries in a router’s Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) table?
Last Updated on July 31, 2021 by Admin 1
• show ip bgp
• show ip bgp table
• show ip bgp topology
• show ip bgp summary
The correct command is show ip bgp.The BGP table lists all the paths that the BGP router has learned. Each destination network listed might have multiple possible paths listed. Given that the criteria are met for each destination network, BGP will choose a path to put in the IP routing table.The BGP table is in many ways analogous to EIGRP’s topology table in that it lists many known paths, not just the best path. Below is an example partial output of the show ip bgp command:
300-410 Part 03 Q09 035
300-410 Part 03 Q09 035
The following facts can be determined from this output:
All of the routes were redistributed into BGP from an IGP. In the status column (located to the left of the Network column and to right of the column where some lines have a > symbol) is a column that is either blank or has an i symbol. In this case, all of the columns are blank. If the status column is blank, then BGP learned the route from an external peer. If it has an i symbol, an iBGP neighbor advertised this path to the router. It was learned from an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) and was advertised as a result of executing a network statement on the neighbor under the router bgp context as shown below adding the network under BGP 100.
R4(config)#router bgp 100
Four routes will be installed in the routing table. These routes have both an * symbol and a > symbol.
l in the status column. The * symbol indicates that the next hop is valid and the > symbol indicates that this is the best route.
The output is slightly different if you specify the network that you are interested in, as shown below in the show ip bgp command output:
300-410 Part 03 Q09 036
300-410 Part 03 Q09 036
This output focuses solely on the route to the network and provides the following pieces of information:
The neighbor that sent this route is at
The AS of the network where is located is 5760
The IGP metric to reach the neighbor that sent this route is 886, as shown by the text (metric 886)
The complete metric to is 1652, as shown in the last line by Origin IGP, metric 1652
The commands show ip bgp table and show ip bgp topology are not valid Cisco commands.
The show ip bgp summary command displays the status of BGP connections.

Supporting Understanding of Carbohydrate Consumption and Eating Education in Diabetes (SUCCEED)
Currently, 10% of healthcare dollars are spent on type 2 diabetes, making it the single most costly chronic disease the United States. Although dietary changes are considered an integral component of diabetes prevention and treatment, previous research has important limitations, such as uncertainty about the optimal diet, poor dietary adherence, and which psychological skills can best support long-term behavior change.
To begin to address these issues, we conducted a 12-month, in-person, randomized clinical trial in overweight individuals with type 2 diabetes that compared two different diets, each in combination with a comprehensive toolkit of psychological techniques for improving adherence to dietary recommendations.
As the ability to deliver interventions using cutting-edge technologies holds tremendous promise for making evidence-based therapies more widely available, we are in the process of conducting an online translation of this in-person trial. Both studies were designed to provide data regarding the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of these interventions. Together, this work holds promise to significantly improve the health of people with type 2 diabetes.

Biointensive Principles: Composting
More Ecology Action workshop photos from the composting class.
Start with about 4 ft. x 4 ft. of soil that has been loosened a bit, down to 12 inches if possible. They also recommend a layer of thicker sticks/branches on the bottom of the pile to help with drainage and air circulation.
A layer of dried, mature (i.e., carbon-rich) material.
Each layer gets watered after it's put down.
A layer of green, immature material.
More water.
And, a layer of soil. Repeat until the pile is about 3 or 4 ft. high, stick a compost thermometer in it, keep it moist but not soggy, and turn it in a few weeks. Then it sits around until it's ready for use. It's a slower, colder method, as opposed to the black plastic compost tumblers that heat everything up quickly and make compost in a month or so, but this way keeps the beneficial soil microbes that thrive at lower temperatures happy and healthy.

Biointensive Principles: Double-digging
A few photos from the double-digging demonstration at the 3-day workshop last month. Sometime during the weekend, someone said something like, "People hear 'Biointensive' and say, oh, that's the method where you double-dig. You all need to remember that there's more to it than that". True, but this is where it all starts...after the planning and calculating and calendars, that is...
John Jeavons beginning the demonstration. He's standing on a digging board to distribute his weight over a larger area so the soil doesn't get compacted.
We should be able to balance easily and understand where our center of gravity is, in order to use the least amount of energy to the greatest effect. Acrobatics encouraged, but not required.
The spade takes a bite out of the soil, about 12 inches down...
...and the soil is moved to the other side of the trench.
Then you position the spading fork on the lower level of the trench...
...sink it another 12 inches (or as far as it goes)...
...and wiggle it around to loosen the soil.
Repeat for the length of the bed, 20 or 25 ft. Take breaks. Breathe deeply. Think happy growing thoughts, and say hello to all the earthworms you turn up as you go along.

We are currently staying in Cupertino, CA with our friend Charlotte, who has two beehives in her backyard. Charlotte was kind enough to allow me to help harvest a frame of honey last week, and of course we took some pictures. She has a fairly low-tech way of doing things: we scraped the honey off of the frame with an ice scraper and it went into a 5-gallon bucket with a paint strainer cloth in it. The honey drained out through the cloth and the wax stayed in, to be melted down and made into candles later. We got about 7-8 cups of honey from one frame. The bees were extremely mellow during the whole process, possibly because none of them got squished when Charlotte took off the top of the hive.
I think I'm definitely hooked, although I can't possibly contemplate buying all the equipment yet - maybe in 2-3 years. I did get a copy of 'Begin To Keep Bees' from Franklin Carrier, the local (San Jose) beekeeping guru, and it's fascinating reading. And, thanks to the magic of Google, I've discovered the Mt. Baker Beekeepers in Bellingham. Perhaps one of them will have extra hives/suits/etc. to loan/rent/sell cheap to a beginner? Only time will tell...

Post-workshop musings
Yes, I'm updating after over a year. Try to contain your excitement...both of you who actually know this blog exists...
I just completed the 3-day workshop at Ecology Action in Willits, CA. I plan to write down all the facts and figures at some point, including what the future garden plan will look like and what my goals for the next few years are, but I wanted to get down my thoughts and feelings while they're still fresh. It was amazing, overwhelming, thought-provoking, tedious, and transformative all at once.
The room was full of people who are looking for change and new ideas. Most were probably in their 20s, some just out of college and figuring out what to do with their lives and some who were already garden veterans who needed new input. There were a few 30- or 40-somethings, established in their careers and looking for better solutions for their lives. Many in this group were gardening for a living or partial living in one way or another. The remainder were retired or close to it and wanting to help specific populations: one man had plans to work in Afghanistan, another man is running an urban garden program in San Francisco, one woman is a nutrition expert, one couple is thinking of moving to the Willits area to garden seriously without having to deal with the high mortgage payments of Marin County.
I haven't ever been around this many people who were already convinced that the world is going to hell in a handbasket. No one seemed to need the introductory lecture on disappearing resources: water, farmable land, oil, knowledge of sustainable practices. We were all there to learn and that's exactly what we got - my head is spinning right now with random facts about Jerusalem artichokes (biomass + calories!) and the best way to transplant seedlings (don't touch the roots, unless they're onions!). A room full of people ready for change has a real buzz about it, and this is real, personal, sweaty, complicated change that you can't pawn off on a politician or a do-gooder. This is clump of dirt at a time.
I'm inspired, and terrified. I really don't want to sit down with a calculator and figure out calories per square foot, or compost by (air-dried) weight, or the number of seedlings in a flat. But that's what we did today and what I have the tools to do in the future. Will William and I, realistically, ever grow every single thing we eat and forgo coffee and chocolate forever? Probably not...unless we have to. If we do, I have the (VERY) basic blueprints for a diet that will feed both us and the soil. Unlike the rest of the workshop participants, however, I can't go home and dig up the back yard to put all of this into practice. We won't have land of our own until early January at best, and maybe not even until next spring. I can plan endlessly but until I see the land there's not much I can be certain of.'s like a exile longing for home. I can already feel the soil on my fingers and smell the freshness of it, and all of my dreams are green around the edges.

'Austerity is everywhere but in the statistics'
Rick Moran
Paul Krugman and his merry band of Keynesians have been wailing for years about how "austerity" has kept the world in recession. Only through massive stimulus spending can Euro-economies resume their growth.
To a lesser extetnt, the same holds true for the US, they claim. With real unemployment still over 10%, this is no time for the sequester and other austerity measures.
But suppose - just suppose - that "austerity" is a myth and that far from slashing spending to the bone, european economies are still spending like there's no tomorrow?
Paul Roderick Gregory writing in Forbes:
The official Keynesian story is that the PIIGS of Europe (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain) have been devastated by cutbacks in public spending. Austerity has made things worse rather than better - clear proof that Keynesian stimulus is the answer. Keynesians claim the lack of stimulus (of course paid for by someone else) has spawned costly recessions which threaten to spread. In other words, watch out Germany and Scandinavia: If you don't pony up, you'll be next.
Not so according to the official European statistics. Between the onset of the crisis in 2008 and 2011, PIIGS government spending increased by six percent from an already high plateau. Eurostat's projections (which make the unlikely assumption that the PIIGS will honor the fiscal discipline promised their creditors) still show the PIIGS spending more in 2014 than at the end of their spending binge in 2008.
As Erber wryly notes: "Austerity is everywhere but in the statistics."
The Keynesian narrative about "austerity" shows the utter dishonesty of hysterical partisans like Paul Krugman who count on the gullibility of both the voter and the legislator to push their ideas. The notion that we can deal with the deficit later is either naive belief or total ignorance about politics. Does anyone really think that even if we get the economy moving so that it's growing at 4-5% again that Krugman will suddenly announce that it is time to deal with the deficit? He will make the argument that cutting the budget will be disastrous for growth and that it is perfectly reasonable to carry a deficit of 5% of the budget.
There is no reasoning with Keynesians. They must be slapped down with facts - hard. It was their expansive spending policies that gave us a $16 trillion debt in the first place. Why should we trust them to fix a problem that they don't even acknowledge being much of a problem?

Is quicker the better way when it comes to jewellery repair?
Same-day or overnight delivery guaranteed. That is Amazon’s key to success. Consumers love instantaneous gratification. I know I do. I can be anywhere, order something online and have it sent to me the following day.
So it really doesn’t surprise me when I get inquiries requesting jewellery repairs done on the spot while waiting. Once again, clients want instantaneous gratification. In this case, it is not practical. Let’s go back one step. A potential fiancee has purchased a custom made ring for his hope to be a bride but it is a bit too small or a favorite piece of jewellery has been inherited and it needs tip work. When you have such meaningful heirlooms, isn’t the best job possible more important than being expeditious? If you had to wait an extra week or two for a top-notch job, as opposed to waiting half an hour for novice workmanship, which would you prefer? Once you have decided to leave your precious gems, a repair bag with the necessary information will be reported, logged into our data system and a photo of your trinket with the instructions will be taken.
Alright, so now you have been reassured that it is ideal to have the best possible job done. Now you are being told the job is not being done on the premises. More caution bells are ringing in your head. How do your precious baubles get from point A to point B? There are two possible scenarios. Either personally or by courier. Ringleader Fine Jewellers only considers one option. We personally deliver, consult with the finest experts in the trade and pick up our repairs when they are completed. Our suppliers also have a logging and tracking system.
Another query from inquiring minds is that seems like a lot of extra work when you could just hire a tradesperson to work in your shop? One might think so except for the fact that jewellery is an extremely specialized field. For instance, in creating a diamond ring the following experts would be involved: If complicated, a CAD designer would design the ring. It would then go to a casting house to cast, produce the piece of jewellery. A goldsmith would then clean up and polish it before sending it to a diamond setter for installing the diamond. If a message is inserted in the ring, an engraver would do this at the end.
Ringleader Fine Jewellers has been specializing in custom-designed jewellery and repairs with over tens of thousands successfully completed for twenty years. We are a local, independent, family-run business looking forward to assisting you in your next milestone or celebration. So now you understand that in the jewellery industry, quicker isn’t always better.
Can you trust your Jeweller
Blog Pic Roby Phil 1 124x150 Can you trust your Jeweller
Phil and I have combined work experience in the jewellery business of over 50 years. Wow, how time flies, but I did say combined. We feel like we have seen and met a gamut of people and experiences. When a new client comes into our store and asks “how do I know I can trust you”?, I have given up trying to plead our case of why one should leave their most precious pieces in our care. I can only give a synopsis of our history and let the individual make their own conclusion. It really doesn’t even matter what I say. I tell people the bottom line is all about trust. And if you don’t get a good feeling from us, then don’t leave your most treasured jewels in our care.
Buying fine jewellery is unique, just like the gemstones that compose each piece. Comparing two diamonds is difficult since each one is rare and has its own particular composition. Also, fine jewellery, like many industries, has a list of lingo, that may be overwhelming to some. Generally, people shop jewellery stores when marking a milestone occasion. In today’s society, with so much information at our fingertips, one should feel confident with their jeweller. So how do you know if you can trust your jeweller?
1. Just as you would with any major purchase, word of mouth is the best. Ask your friends, family, co-workers and neighbors who they recommend. If buying something special, you may want to stay away from the internet. Diamonds and fine gems need to be seen. The average person can not be expected to understand what it takes years of training for a knowledgeable person in the industry to learn. However, google is ideal for checking out potential companies. It provides feedback and gives insight into the stores strengths. For instance, do you want something custom or ready made? Do they have a gemologist on site? A good website will also show all the services available and how long the company has been in business.
2. If you are interested in a custom work, a CAD, computer-aided design should be available.
3. A reputable jeweller should have a selection of stones to choose from, and the knowledge to answer all of your questions and concerns. Taking the time to explain the 4C’s will aid in making a informed selection.
4. Make sure the time frame is a fair for both you and the jeweller. A classic solitaire should have a fairly quick turnover time, a week or two at the most if the mount needs to be cast. But something more unique in nature, which includes a CAD is more labour and time sensitive, so keep that in mind. Remember you want a good job, not a fast one.
I must state, that I know many jewellers in the industry and believe, for the most part that they are a good bunch. Is it an old wives tale, that someone took a ring into a store and the jeweller changed the diamond? Or did it happen in smalltown USA? Regardless, I have not heard that happening in our country. Jewellers want to sell their goods, not steal someone elses’ and have a reputation to maintain. We know that word of mouth is key, and Ringleader Fine Jewellers prides itself on exceptional customer service while producing custom pieces for ectastic clients.

Challenges of buying a diamond
Phil Pancer Challenges of buying a diamond
Before getting into the jewellery business in 1986, Phil worked in the photography business. Both industries require a sharp, keen eye for detail. It takes many hours of practical experience, studying and doing lab tests to graduate and become a certified diamond appraiser. It is quite an accomplishment to hang that degree on the wall.
Since earning his degree in the 1980’s, two major predicaments have happened. The initial occurence began roughly in the late 1990’s. Diamonds began to be graded one full grade higher than they actually were. For instance, what was once graded as a S.I. stone, now became a V.S. stone. Put in a predicament, Phil seemed uncertain how to grade diamonds. But he graded them the way he was taught, and I’m sure lost some business along the way, since a client could get a better stone for the same price. it was very confusing for the client, trying to explain the “new normal”. Finally, while at a jewellery show, Phil confronted the G.I.A., Gemmological Iinstitute of America, and asked about the obvious disccrepancy. The answer was that they wanted to sell diamonds. Alright, we get it. Diamonds became marketed one grade higher. Check.
Now fast forward twenty years to the present. The internet has educated consumers and even made some “experts” in gem identification. But buyer beware. Though appraisals are an independent opinion, there is no advisory board. Acceptable practice is for diamonds to vary within one grade. One retailer, south of the border, was sued for selling overgraded diamonds. But the big question is who is ultimately responsible for this costly error? The manufacturers, dealers, retailers or grading lab? If these people put in the time and effort to earn there degrees, then this would not happen. Also, beware of diamonds packed in previously printed parcel papers, and diamonds that are labelled as “ungraded”. How would you know? Find a jeweller you feel comfortable with and trust. Ask what credentials they have. Request a loupe and ask where the inclusion is.
So today’s rant in summary is the following. When you are buying jewellery, and diamonds in particular, do your homework on the internet but go into an actual store. Get a feel for the place and ask as many questions as you wish. It might cost you a little bit more but you are paying for the retailers expertise and time. If it too good to be true, it usually is.
Wedding Venues and Jewellery, the common link.
mens and womens wedding ring sets 150x150 Wedding Venues and Jewellery, the common link.Catching up with friends is wonderful and last night was one such opportunity. We had a meeting yesterday regarding making bracelets for a brides wedding party. She wants each one to be meaningful to each bridesmaid. In other words, she would like to customize each one to fit their own unique personality. The mother of the bride, Cheryl, our friend heads up the event department and Herongate Barn on Altona Road in Whitevale. Once business was looked after with her daughter, like the females we are, we started chatting about business. Evidently, we have many similarities. Herongate Barn is a family run business dedicated to pleasing their customers, going above and beyond what is required, simply because they know it is their name on the line. And great service is rewarded with tremendous advertising, via word of mouth. Herongate Barn is an ideal place for any type of event because you start with a blank canvas, renting a tent, and can do anything you wish. One is only limited by their imagination. Weddings are a fairly new addition to the Barn, but it seems to be growing at a brisk rate due to their attention to detail and surpassing all of their obligations. Customize and service, two important aspects, also of Ringleader Fine Jewellers business moto. We also understand that like our bride, every personality is unique and most people do not want a mass produced piece of jewellery. Time, effort, thought and individuality all play a part in creating a unique piece of sparkle for our consumer. Since we spend a great deal of time constructing these one of a kind items, we tend to develop a rapport and friendship with our clients. Just this week, someone new came into the store and told us the reason she came in was because our website states that no one will leave our store unhappy, She said she knew she was in good hands. So next time you are in the market for creating some beautiful memories, either with a special event or a piece of jewellery that can last a lifetime, shop locally in Pickering. Herongate Barn and Ringleader Fine Jewellers are both family run businesses dedicated to customizing and going beyond what is required.
Shop at home, shop by phone, concierge service.
present ring 150x150 Shop at home, shop by phone, concierge service.
June 30th, 2015, our first time driving to work with the new, hopefully temporary H.O.V. lanes enforced. We were anticipating a higher volume of traffic and thinking we would have to take an alternate route, as if that would make a difference. With the dreaded thought of traffic, chaos and congestion, now would also be the perfect time to launch our concierge service. Ringleader Fine Jewellers is all about customer service and we like to make every shopping experience a pleasurable one, even if you cannot make it into our store. Give us a call or email, tell us some pertinent information and we will make arrangements to have it delivered, either personally or with a service. It’s that easy. Now let’s just hope we have an easy drive home.
Customer service or the lack of?
Recently, my wife and I did some home improvement shopping at several different warehouse style showrooms that carry various types of tile. Some of these place were just stunning with beautiful reception areas and some were just very industrial looking. All of them however, did have a front reception/customer service counter. Of the dozen places we visited, I can count on less than three fingers how many people actually even greeted us by saying “hello” when we walked in to there establishments. All had their heads buried in paperwork or the sand for all I know and it just felt very cold. It got to a point where I was addressing my wife as Casper, if you know what I mean! What does it take to JUST SAY HELLO!! You could say, “I’m just tied up for a moment and myself or someone will be with you shortly”. Is that so hard! Even if they’re pretending to be on the phone, they could excuse themselves and do the same….some will be with you in a moment.
It wasn’t until we discovered quite by accident, a smaller, family run tile and granite distributor in Midtown Toronto, and I don’t mind giving out their name because they were so helpful, Ceramic Tile World at 25 Bermondsey Unit B Toronto ON 416-752-4446. I don’t recall by name who looked after us, but anyone of this incredibly nice and knowledgeable family will do whatever it takes to make you happy. That’s exactly our philosophy as well. Greet everyone who walks into your store and don’t let them leave unhappy. Granted, Jewellery is a bit like tile….it’s a disposable income business. If you think about it, we could get by without seriously buying jewellery or crazy ceramic glass tiles, but people still, thankfully, like these type of articles, and we have to appease all peoples tastes and budgets.
Try being personable to your potential customers and you might have lifelong business relationships and trust me, if you’re nice to them, they’ll tell more people. There’s something to be said about word of mouth advertising. It’s a very powerful tool.
Be well and keep smiling!

My God, the internet exploded with nerdalicious nerdliness over the last few days. Nothing really mind-blowing, but still, some fun/weird/profoundly disturbing things came bopping around last week, and to make things interesting, there's a video clip for all of them.
First, let's start with the biggest news: There's a new Thor clip, and while it doesn't show much that we haven't already seen, it does have one itty bitty interesting moment, around 25 seconds in:
Yeah, pretty sure that's Hawkeye, who you may remember will be played by Jeremy Renner in the eventual Avengers film. And since the Avengers-related movies have a habit of having characters cameo here and there... well...
Next up, I've talked for a while about how interested I am in Kevin Tancharoen's upcoming Mortal Kombat: Rebirth webseries. The original trailer, which was actually just a short film that he made to try to get some attention (deservedly so), caused my brain to overheat (in a good way). So when Tancharoen was given the green light to make the series, I was psyched. Here's the first clip:
OK, so it didn't totally blow my skirt up, but it wasn't bad. It was already better than the entirety of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Really, I'm just excited to see which of the characters from the original short film make it into the series. Here they are, for those who are curious:
(starting top left and going clockwise: Richard Dorton as Reptile, Michael Jai White as Jackson "Jax" Briggs, Jeri Ryan as Sonya Blade, Ian Anthony Dale as Scorpion, Unknown as Sub-Zero, and Lateef Crowder as Baraka)
OK, let's jump back to comic books for a second. The Deadpool movie has been hovering around for a while now, with Ryan Reynolds supposedly still set to reprise the character that was so effectively shat upon in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Well now, for reals yo, there's a director. Deadline is reporting that Tim Miller will helm the flick. Miller's been all over the place -- he owns his own visual effects house, Blur Studio, he's worked on video game trailers, and he worked on the effects for the first two X-Men films as well as Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. With the script by Zombieland's Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick still on the table, all is not yet lost for the Merc With The Mouth.
Let's end it on a ridiculous note, because it's Monday and Mondays deserve ridiculousness. First, this exists:
There isn't much more to say, is there?
Lastly, I was vaguely curious when I heard about the fan-made "Elfquest" trailer, because I'm vaguely curious about the Elfquest phenomenon, mainly because it's a little bit (OK, a lot) weird, the following is rabid, and it's been around forever. There aren't many fantasy-themed things that have been around that long that I have zero experience with, but the Elfquest comics are one of them. So here's the trailer:
OK, then. The women in it are certainly pretty. But otherwise that was fucking awful. Sorry to have wasted your time. Well no, I'm not actually sorry, but whatever.

The neighbourhood of Augustenborg, during the 1980s and 1990s an area of social and economic decline, was frequently flooded by an overflowing drainage system. Between 1998 and 2002 it was regenerated.
In inner city Berlin, plans for the development of new buildings are subjected to the Berlin Landscape Programme, which includes a regulation requiring a proportion of the area to be left as green space: the Biotope Area Factor (BAF) or BFF (Biotop Flächenfaktor).
The Kruibeke Bazel Rupelmonde (KBR) Controlled Flood Area (CFA) is a key component of the Belgian Sigma Plan for the Scheldt Estuary.
At Nijmegen, the Waal River bends sharply and narrows. This creates a bottleneck, which often caused flooding of the historic city centre of Nijmegen, located on the south bank of the Wall.
The increasing exposure to floods is a consequence of the river regulation and land reclamation works that shaped the landscape in the Tisza River floodplain.
The Netherlands is a country with a long history of mitigating flood damage and adapting to flood risk. With 60% of the country below sea level, the development and implementation of flood resilient infrastructure has become an important part of the Dutch culture.

House fly at rest.
A house fly takes off vertically into the air.
While snapping pictures of a fly perched beside me during a long car drive I caught a shot of it in mid take-off, as it launched straight up into the air. I’d never given a lot of thought to house fly flight dynamics before, except perhaps during miserably failed attempts to swat them. Attempting to learn more on the topic led me to a fascinating article discussing the use of insects to develop flying nano-robots, aka Micro air vehicles.
Obviously, I want one of these.
A tiny, insect-inspired flying machine (photo: Wood 2008).
But instead of talking about tiny flying robots being harnessed for military purposes I thought I’d tell you some boring fascinating stuff about insect flight muscles. The oldest insects (Paleoptera: dragonflies, damselflies, and mayflies) have muscles directly attached to the base of the wing (direct flight). The fore and hind wings are operated independently, allowing for excellent mobility and maneuvering. All later insects (Neoptera) have muscles that attach to the exoskeleton, and move the wings indirectly by changing the shape of the thorax (indirect flight). Generally, the wings function together as a single unit.
Because I was bored, I diagrammed the muscles involved in indirect flight:
The dorsoventral muscles contract, pulling down the top of the thorax and causing the wings to rise.
The dorsolongitudinal indirect flight muscles contract, arching the top of the thorax and causing the wings to beat downwards.
If you have trouble visualizing how flexing the exoskeleton in these directions could lead to the appropriate wing movements, I recommend this simple experiment: Take a tennis ball, and stick two pins in it to represent the wings. Squeeze the tennis ball from top and bottom (dorsoventral muscles) and from front and back (dorsolongitudinal indirect flight muscles) and observe the movements of the pins. We did this back in my Insect Physiology class, and it makes for a very striking visual tool.
Wikipedia also has two very useful animations (the direct flight diagrams is mislabeled, though, so mind your links):
The flower and the fly
30 Nov
Pretty things.
I’m in the middle of prelims and also a rather prolonged fever but I thought I’d check in before November ended.
Plus now I can stare at this pretty flower and the stripey fly I saw in Argentina. I don’t know what kind of fly it is but it’s very striking. Looks like it’s a nectar feeder. VanEngelsdorp and Mexner recently estimated the global value of insect pollination at US$ 212 billion, or about 10% of the global value of agricultural production (2010). There, I even included an insect fact.
Shh, only pretty flower-flies now.
*edit* Thanks kindly to Morgan Jackson and Joel Kits in the comments for identifying this as a bee fly (Bombyliidae) in the genus Poecilognathus. Bee flies are really really cool little flies whose young generally parasitize other insects.
March of the Zombie Flies
4 May
Decaying dead blow fly carcasses stuck to sand.
I don’t actually know what was going on with these creepy decayed blowfly carcasses. If you haven’t noticed, that top one is missing its head and the bottom fly’s wings and eyes are flaking away. I found these and a half dozen more stuck fast to a sandy overhang by the Red River this past Entoblitz. It kind of looked like a still scene from Attack of the Zombie Flies.
Why were they congregated there? What killed them? Personally, I suspect a bacterial infection or pathogenic fungi. Many such parasites can actually alter the behavior of their hosts, causing them to seek out situations and habitats that help the pathogen grow better or infect new hosts. There’s even a little bit of evidence that pathogens may be able to manipulate human behavior: a few studies indicate that people infected with Toxoplasma gondii (often carried by cats) may be more risk-prone. The protozoan parasite may alter the behavior of its intermediate rat host to increase the chances of predation by cats, allowing the parasite to complete its life cycle (Berdoy et al 2000).
So, anyway, I’m going to go with mind-controlling fungal infections on this one.
That, or aliens.
I don't know; therefore aliens
When Bugs Bite Back
20 Apr
Pretty iridescent green eyes of horse fly.
A horse fly perches on a tree.
The family Tabanidae derives its name from the latin word tabanus, meaning “horse fly.” I’ve noticed that observing which orders and families of insects take their latin names from actual latin or greek words for the insects (e.g. roaches, lice, ants) tends to give an idea of which insects have historically made the biggest nuisances of themselves. Chalk these biting flies up on that list.
I like horse flies because they turn the tables on entomologists. I have had several experiences wherein it was unclear just who was hunting whom. It generally winds up with me flailing wildly with my net while running in circles to try to stay out of reach of the fly. The lady fly is, after all, on the lookout for a tasty blood meal to grow her eggs with, a meal she will secure by slicing open a wound with scissor-like blades on her proboscis. She’s also way faster and more agile than me. It’s extremely disconcerting.
Horse and deer flies can be distinguished from other flies by their large eyes, their enlarged third antennal segment, and by the pair of “Y” shaped wing veins that enclose the wing tip. Male horse flies, which do not blood feed, generally have eyes that meet in the middle of the head, unlike the lady in the picture above, whose eyes are set apart.
As a side note, my backyard is suddenly full of stable flies, a house fly-like muscid fly which rabidly attacks my ankles when I venture outside. Ow. If I’m overcome with masochism I’ll even try to get pictures for y’all.

Maggot art with Chrysoma rufifacies, the hairy maggot blow fly
Two new pages up today in the Techniques section.
I’ve started a collection of cool insect-related techniques as I happen across them around the internet:
Techniques from Around the Web
I also had a lot of fun doing maggot artwork at an outreach event and I put together a “how to” post on that. Check it out! The pics are all taken with my iPhone but they turned out great:
How to Paint with Maggots
Maggot art makes a nice item to sell or give away at events, and it also provides a fun, hands-on outreach opportunity that people of all ages can enjoy. It’s great to watch people go from “Ew!” to “Ooh!” as they see a disfavored insect make something pretty and interesting. Don’t forget to talk to people about the role of maggots in the ecosystem, the life cycle of flies, and the usefulness of maggots in cleaning wounds. The maggot artwork also makes for a nice souvenir to take home, and hopefully encourage people to talk about what they learned with even more people.

Know This Before Opting for Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are aimed at removing dead skin cells only to bring about healthier skin. Chemical peels are further divided into different levels, light, medium and deep for a better idea.
If you are opting for chemical peels, you need to consult professionals such as a certified dermatologist, licensed health-care provider or even a surgeon. If conducted by professionals chemical peels can be extremely safe. You should prepare yourself from the beginning for a better idea.
Comparatively, chemical peels are extremely convenient because they are safe and do not require much time. The treatment usually takes 30-90 minutes and may take two to three weeks for complete recovery. Chemical peel is considered to be expensive and the price may vary from place to place. However, Clinique Anti Aging chemical peel facial is extremely affordable.
What are the types of chemical peels?
As suggested above there are different levels of chemical peels. You need to consider every treatment thoroughly. Some of the type of chemical peels that can be effective in the long run include the following
Superficial peels: This type of peel ensures the facial around the outer layer of the skin. It avoids penetration to inner layers.
Medium peels: This type of peel facial is aimed for both, middle and outer skin layers using glycolic acid. It is aimed at removing the damaged skin cells.
Deep peels: If you are tired of damaged skin cells, then deep peels are the most effective. It penetrates into the middle layer of the skin and uses phenol or trichloroacetic acid to get rid of the damaged undertone skin layers.
Are there any side effects?
There are but they are common and pretty rare. Some of the common side effects of chemical peel include redness, dryness, swelling and even burning. However, aggravated or serious conditions may be harmful but rare. Deep peels may lead to inability to tan.
But, there are some impacts due to chemical peels that can last for a long time. These include the following
Skin lightening/darkening
What do I expect?
When adopting chemical peeling, the type of reaction you expect completely depends on the type of procedure you will be adopting.
Light peel
You will recover within four to seven days and can expect a darker or lighter skin.
Medium peel
Recovery period is around seven days but the redness may last for months. Then, redness would turn into brows crusts and break to reveal new skin.
Deep peel
This may annoy the skin and recovery period is around two weeks but the redness may last for months.

Beware the Shi’ite Day of Atonement
What is the cause of the Shi'ite-Sunni conflict?
While Muhammad was still alive, his daughter Fatima quarreled with Aisha, Muhammad’s last wife, who was younger than Fatima by several years. After Muhammad’s death, Aisha’s father, Abu Bakr, was appointed as the leader of Islam, which was against Fatima’s wishes, who saw her husband Ali as the natural successor to Muhammad, since he was Muhammad’s cousin and son-in-law, as well as the father of Muhammad’s grandchildren.
There were severe struggles among the group of people that surrounded the first three caliphs, Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman because of the family feud over who would inherit the leadership. Ali was eventually appointed as the fourth caliph in the year 656 after his predecessor, Uthman, was murdered. Those who opposed Ali, principally members of the Umayyah family, accused him of being involved in the murder of Uthman and during all five years that he ruled, he had to fight his adversaries continually. The governor of Syria, Muawiya, rose up and pronounced himself caliph. His son, Yazid, was the caliph who gave the instructions to murder Hussein bin Ali.
The murder of Hussein occurred in Southern Iraq, near the city of Karbala. He was murdered together with several dozens of his friends and family members, with only one baby surviving to continue the dynasty. The murder, which occurred in 680 – remains the defining event for “Shi’at Ali”, the “sect of Ali”, which is the source of the name “Shi’ite”, the name of the stream of Islam that supports the leadership of Ali’s descendants.
This family conflict has been ongoing for almost 1400 years. Until the year 1258, with the fall of Baghdad, the capital of the Abbasid dynasty, all of the caliphs of Islam for over six hundred years were from Muhammad’s tribe, the tribe of Quraysh, but they were never the descendants of Ali. This situation placed Shi’a in continual opposition to the ruling regime and they became a harshly persecuted group throughout the history of Islam.
The struggle between the two groups has led to the development of great differences between the two in every area of religious life: religious laws are different, the theology is different, and even the basic scriptures are different: The Shi’ites claim that the Sunnis omitted two chapters from the Qur’an where the leadership was promised to Ali and his descendants, while the Sunnis claim that these two chapters were fabricated by the Shi’ites. The oral law is also different, because each side invented stories about Muhammad to support their political position.
In their prayers, the Shi’ites curse the first three caliphs for stealing the rule from Ali, and they add passages that praise and exalt Ali. Therefore there are many among the Sunnis, especially the Wahhabis of Saudi Arabia, who consider Shi’a as a kind of fundamental heresy. The Saudi regime forbids the Shi’ite minority to recite the call to prayer aloud, because even in the muezzin’s call to prayer there is an extra part praising Ali.
Dr. Mordechai Kedar

ISS drinks dispenser now taking the p*ss
Urine Processor Assembly up and running
By Lester Haines
Posted in Science, 26th November 2008 14:02 GMT
The International Space Station's cantankerous Water Recovery System (see pic) is now apparently up and running following a few issues with the unit's Urine Processor Assembly (UPA).
The ISS's Water Recovery SystemThe crew of space shuttle Endeavour extended their mission STS-126 to the outpost by a day to tackle the problem, which centred on a dodgy distiller centrifuge. This spins the urine as it's boiled to produce the artificial gravity field required to allow contaminants to separate from the water content. NASA explains: "On Earth, distilling is a simple process of simply boiling water and cooling the steam back into pure water. But without gravity, the contaminants in water never separate from the steam no matter how much heat is used."
The agency elaborates: "The contaminants in the urine press against the sides of the drum while the steam gathers in the middle and is pumped to a filter."
When first fired up earlier this month, the recycler triggered a fire alert, which was subsequently found to be spurious, although the machine was shut down pending analysis.
This showed that the urine inside the centrifuge was causing the drum to thrash about on its evidently inadequate dampeners. These were detached and the unit bolted firmly into place with additional brackets offering extra support.
NASA now reports: "The UPA ran three successful cycles since modifications Sunday and Monday. Based on that success, program managers decided they will leave the distillation assembly on orbit. They were able to get the samples processed through the UPA and Water Processing Assembly and dispensed through the Potable Water Dispenser (PWD)."
Furthermore, NASA is satisfied with the performance of the port and starboard Solar Alpha Rotary Joints (SARJs), which were the subject of maintenance during the four STS-126 spacewalks. The starboard joint had proved somewhat inflexible due to metal flakes in its trundle bearing assemblies, and was unable to rotate freely to allow the station's solar panels to fully capture available sunlight.
NASA says: "Preliminary data shows an indication that the starboard Solar Alpha Rotary Joint is using less power and moving more freely than before. Engineers plan to continue monitoring the starboard SARJ’s performance. The port SARJ’s current usage has decreased as well due to the preventative lubrication."
ISS and Endeavour crew will today transfer the reuseable Leonardo Multi-Purpose Logistics Module - used to bring supplies to the station - back to the shuttle ahead of a Friday dedocking. Endeavour is due to touch down at Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility at about 18:18 GMT on Sunday. ®

A flatbed truck is carrying a heavy crate. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the bed of the truck is (0.75). What is the maximum rate at which the driver can decelerate and still avoid having the crate slide against the cab of the truck?
Oct 29, 2019
The maximum frictional force will be csf m g
If the force is greater or equal to this, the mass will slide
csf m g = ma This 'a' is the decelleration max magnitude when the mass , m , will slide
csf g = a
.75 (9.81) = 7.358 m/s^2 DEceleration

Throughput computing series: Defining Throughput Computing
This is the first installment in a series of entries that discuss different aspects of throughput computing. This series aims to improve the understanding of how SPARC CMT servers can be utilized to increase business throughput. Let's start with a definition.
What is throughput computing?
Oxford American defines "throughput" as:
"The amount of materials or items passing through a system or process"
In computer terms, throughput computing is the amount of "work" that can be done in a given period of time. Things like "orders per second", "paychecks per hour", "queries per second", "webpages per minute",... are all metrics of throughput. These measures help define the amount of work a system can complete in a given period of time.
Misguided throughput metrics
• Latency or Response time is not a throughput metric.
• CPU % is not a throughput metric.
• IO wait% is definitely not a throughput metric... or anything other than a measure of idle time :)
• The "Load average" of a system is not a measure of throughput. OK... you get the idea.
Job level parallelism
Job level parallelism is about taking a single job and breaking it into multiple pieces. Say you have 10,000 letters to put stamps on. If it takes 3 seconds per letter, you would need 30,000 seconds or more than 8 hours to complete the task. Now consider you are a teacher and you bring the letters to class. There are 20 students in the class so each student will place stamps on 500 letters. With only 500 letters to complete per student, the job can be done in only 1500 seconds or 25 minutes.
In terms of throughput, one person processes one letter every 3 seconds or 60/3 = 20 letters per minute... and a class of 20 students can process 20\*20 = 400 letters per minute.
Concurrency comes from running multiple jobs or applications together on a system. A job may be single-threaded or use multiple threads of execution as discussed above. These jobs need not be related or even from the same application. To further increase concurrency, virtualization is often used to run multiple concurrent OS images on the same machine in-order to take advantage of modern multi-threaded systems.
Putting it all together with Chip Multi-Threading
Denis Sheanan sums up Sun's throughput computing initiative in his paper on CMT as:
"Sun’s Throughput Computing initiative represents a new paradigm in system design, with a focus toward maximizing the overall throughput of key commercial workloads rather than the speed of a single thread of execution. Chip multi-threading (CMT) processor technology is key to this approach, providing a new thread-rich environment that drives application throughput and processor resource utilization while effectively masking memory access latencies."
The salient point is that you must have an application that has multiple threads of execution in-order to take advantage of CMT. Multiple threads of execution could come from a single job that has been parallelized or from multiple jobs of different types that run concurrently.

Throughput computing series... getting the most of your SPARC CMT server.
I was thinking about the development of a CMT throughput benchmark, but it occurred to me that there are many \*good\* examples of throughput already out with the benchmarks we publish... just look at the bmseer postings on the Recent T2 results and the long line of performance records on the T2000.
The biggest disconnect with CMT servers is a misunderstanding of throughput and multi-threaded applications. I made a posting last year which touched on some initial impressions, but I thought it would be a good idea to dig in further.
This entry is to kick off a series of postings that explore different aspects of throughput computing in a CMT environment. The rough outline is as follows:
• Definition of Throughput computing, multi-threading, and concurrency.
Explore system parallelism
• Unix commands and parallel options
• Concurrent builds/compiles.
• Configuring the system for parallelism
Configuring applications for parallelism
• Concurrency vs multi-threading
• Single-Threaded jobs
Database parallelism with Oracle
• Parallel loader and datapump
• Index build parallelism
• Concurrent processing in Oracle
• Configuring Oracle for CMT servers

Busselton Police uncover monster spud gun during traffic stop
The West Australian
High-powered pressure tool likely used to make illegal spud-gun
VideoThe owner of a 'spud gun on steroids' is facing court after Busselton police found the weapon during a search of a car.
That’s not a spud gun, this is a spud gun.
A supercharged homemade firearm has landed a WA man an appearance in court after police allegedly discovered the weapon during a search of his car.
Busselton Police posted a shot of the monster creation on Twitter.
The South West outfit tweeted: “Male arrested after a search of his car located a homemade firearm and meth pipe. Male has a “datewithamagistrate. #spudgunonsteroids.”
The weapon was marked as a “Bead Bazooka”, suggesting it may have been altered from a commercial tool used in the process of inflating tires to something different, unfavoured by police.
A spokesman for Busselton Police did not provide addition information on the spud gun, saying only that it was discovered by a team working overnight and the investigation was ongoing.

City life and country life will always be divided. Which is sad. People are people no matter where they reside. It feels like there is a massive disconnect that makes everyone assume we can't relate to one another's geography. But we can. It will take some stories... that will be shockingly relatable.... but it can be done. City and country folk need to discuss the dividers... whether or not we get it or not.
Redditor u/MotorArea wanted to know what reasons the city/country divide tell us about ourselves by asking.... People who live in a rural area/out in the country, what will "city folk" never understand?
Small Town....
Small Town Texas here :
1. Crappy Internet
2. Friday Night Lights Ghost Towns
3. The smell of the rain
4. Country Road parties
5. Driving for an hour and not seeing another car
6. Small Town Festivals
7. Knowing everyone business and everyone knowing yours
8. Snakes are your friend
9. Dead Coyotes hanging from fence posts
10. The sky at night is inspirational txbbqdude
Small towns aren't one size fits all. There's a lot of difference. The town I'm from has 300ish people and hits every single negative stereotype imaginable. But an hour away there's a town of 1500 that is basically the poster child for good country living. I've also found they don't understand the physical toll working in certain trades can take. Also, driving an hour isn't considered a long trip where I'm from. moonglowrabbit
On the Roof.
Turkeys roosted on the roof of my mom's house one night when my dad was away. She called me yelling "there's turkeys on the roof!!" I live 2 hours away- what do you want me to do about it? Put them on the phone for a talking to?
Another time in spring breeding season a Tom saw his reflection in the glass of the French door and attacked it, defending his territory, I guess. He broke the glass. They've regularly had turkeys and deer on their patio, and now coyotes have moved into the area, so you can hear them howling at night. snarkyB
Talk About Life....
I've been living in a busy street of Milan to move to Switzerland in a small town near the mountains. The silence in the night was something weird and actually annoying my first nights there.
So I'd say total silence around you at night.
Also nature smells : grass or animals for example
Oh and having actual animals in town like cows or horses.
Oh and... ok I'll stop there and let the others talk. cabrasm
The Wild.
Wildlife is wildlife... Don't call bylaw for: moose, coyotes, wolves, deer, skunk, raccoon etc.
Dogs bark. Your 4 lb chihuahua may not be loud but it's 100% more barking than my 80 lb husky mix.
When it snows, road will be plowed. It will NOT be a dry, black stretch of road but it WILL have less snow on it. Wolfie1531
Car Trouble.
Its basically impossible to live if you can't drive, I live a few miles out of the village so I have to get lifts to work, to go see friends and everything. The only bus only leaves the village every 2-3 hours to go into the city and is ridiculously expensive.
But it is gorgeous and can be so peaceful, i often take my dog up the hill behind my house, there's no roads and only a couple of other houses and its so quiet and relaxing, i can lie there for ages on a nice day. I also have a horse and its great to go for a mental out-of-control gallop through the fields and the forests. CB97sriracha
How small it really is.
When I graduated in 2014, my class was 14 people. And we were one of the largest grades at the school, the grade below only had 6 people, the grade above me only had 4. I originally grew up in a hamlet, population 20 people and then moved to a village where I went to school, roughly 300 people.
We have one bar, one grocery store that closes at 6pm, a carwash, a bank (in the neighboring villager 15 minutes away) post office and school in town. Everyone else is either oilfield workers or farmers.
And it's damn boring, for fun in the summers we used to bike down the highway for hours to no where and then turn around and bike home. cats-and-cucumbers
Get Out.
Letting my kids just go outside and play. Ride their bikes down the street, go into the woods out back and explore. But more importantly just feel generally secure about their safety doing these things. cbinette84
The Laundry List.
• How much you are at the mercy of the elements. (the wind seems stronger, the snow deeper, the driveway impossibly long and difficult to clear)
• How every project turns into multiple long trips to the hardware store (that is 35 minutes away, unless you have an emergency at 1am, and then you're heading 90 minutes away to the 24 hour store there).
• The value of consistently good internet connections
• How cool it is to cut down trees that are on your property. pageclot
Vote When?
How little politics affect your every day life when you aren't surrounded by people talking about it. If it weren't for social media (which I avoid 99% of the time) we'd have no idea what's going on out there.
Also, how quiet it is. I have city friends that love to come out just to listen to the quiet. techno-d
Honk First!
When you hear a car door slam in the middle of the night, something is wrong. 7e8e7
"who was that?"
Waving at people when you see them on the road. DeusVultEXE
My girlfriend: "who was that?" Me: "I don't know" Her: "So why did you wave?" Me: "why wouldn't I wave?"
She was not raised in the country and she found this custom so bizarre, that it took some convincing that I hadn't just made it up. Oh and the total lack of law enforcement and basically being able to do whatever you wanted as long as your neighbors didn't get too annoyed. ServingPapers
What Does the Fox Say?
The scream you hear in the middle of the night isn't a woman being murdered. It's just foxes shagging. BlameMeBlue
Ever hear a peacock?
Peacocks shriek just because. At least the foxes are shagging. thoughtIhadOne
In the city, you ignore the sirens and listen for the gunshots. Out in the country you ignore the gunshots and listen for the sirens. CrazyNotion
Yup, gunshots in the country is probably just Joe and his buddies shooting targets for fun, or they killed an animal. Gunshots in the city means someone got shot. MazerRakam
My... Dear....
"Watch out for deer" when saying goodbye is another way of telling someone you love them. m1lk1e
On your own...
This doesn't go for all small town, but the one I live in there is no law enforcement. We fall under the jurisdiction of a neighboring town but it's like 45 minutes away. So the people out here just deal with incidents on their own. To be honest though, it's pretty rare that any instances occur. DesertChickBB
The dark......
The dark. In a city at night you can read a book outside. In the country on a cloudy or no moon night. You can't see anything. Not like it's kinda hard to see, but it's so dark you might as well be blind; the stars and gravity are the only way to know which direction is up. Also a clear night sky in places that get truly dark like that is something my vocabulary can't describe. tinymonesters
Last Gas!!
When a road sign says Last Gas for however many kilometers....
It means it. yelofoley
Yeah we get so many people who drive through here asking if it really is the last gas station for miles, the answer is yes, some don't believe us and we see them again when they get towed to the mechanics across the street for running out of gas and ruining their engine by trying to make it to the next one, others do and they stock up and we never see them again.
I work at that gas station and its pretty interesting seeing just how many people pass through but don't realize they're in a town. Its like radiator springs from cars but in Ohio, we have pretty much everything we need besides a grocery store, but it's all run down and falling apart. Reddit
"run to the store"
The extent of our pantries and freezers. We can't just "run to the store" to pick up that forgotten ingredient or spur-of-the-moment craving. But if we're well-stocked, we can whip up just about anything! MrsChickenPam
We moved to the country from the city (really only like 20 minutes from a grocery store, but that's pretty rural for our tiny state). Our first summer here, we heard strange noises coming from the woods. Like a couple of idiots, we were standing outside with our smartphones on YouTube trying to identify what noise it was. Moose? Nope. Coyote? Nope. Deer? Maybe? I dunno. Bear? HOLYGODWHATISTHATABEARANALLIGATOR? Uncle_Baconn

The longer one lives, the more they know this to be true: human life is fragile. Mortality is such a scary, crazy reality that we must prepare for on a day-to-day basis, as we could easily be here one day and gone the next.
But not all ways to go out are created equal. There are the things you can't control--like a stroke, or a health condition, or even an accident. But then there are the things you could have avoided doing but chose to do anyway, putting you and others around you in danger in the process.

Listen ... Sam Rockwell...
He's never going to read this article, but on the off-chance he does, I am totally open to him emailing me or sliding into the DMs.

Nickelodeon was and is one of the most popular kids' channels. Starting in 1977, this channel has hosted popular cartoon shows like Spongebob Squarepants and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
We can't forget about iCarly, which just got a reboot bringing back out favorite characters but years later and updated to meet the changing times.
Since it's inception, Nickelodeon has expanded to have five different sister channels, movies, cruise ships, theme parks and hotels. But for most people who look back at the cartoons aren't thinking about those things.
They're thinking of the high quality, hilarious, and nostalgic shows they enjoyed as a kid. So, we wanted to know which of these shows are the best of the best.

Does germ plasm accelerate evolution?
April 14, 2014 in Biology / Evolution
Does germ plasm accelerate evolution?
The original theory was proposed by Dr Johnson over 10 years ago. His view is that the relationship between the germ line (hereditary that create sperm and eggs) and the soma (cells which form the body of an organism) also impacts on . He argues that once a species evolves a substance called germ plasm, germ cells are independent of other cells, so constraints on somatic development are liberated and this enhances a species' ability to evolve. As a result, he says, vertebrates such as frogs, fruit flies and birds, which look unlike their ancestors, came about, and remarkably they evolved much faster than their ancestors did.
Taking a new look at embryology
Early in animal development a subset of cells in an embryo becomes committed to produce Primordial Germ Cells (PGCs). PGCs develop into sperm or eggs. The remaining cells develop as the soma, a term that describes all of the tissues that make up an individual's body. The germ line is an immortal cell lineage, passed on from generation to generation, and charged solely with producing a new embryo at fertilisation. The soma, on the other hand, dies off in every generation. In the most classic biological sense its job is to interpret the effects of natural selection in order to determine genetic fitness, leading to so called 'survival of the fittest'.
A new computer programme tested their hypothesis
In this latest publication Dr Loose put this theory to the test. He said: "To investigate the effect germ plasm has on sequence changes we had to look at as many sequences as possible – nearly 12 million sequences were analysed and processed from 165 different species including mammals, reptiles, amphibians and fish."
Dr Johnson said: "What Matt and I have been working on would not normally have been predicted. This paper shows that animals can evolve more rapidly with germ plasm. Typically evolution is thought to be a gradual process, but this work suggests that the evolution of germ plasm can lead to explosive radiations of species. Importantly, because of the accelerated rate of evolution, genetic similarities between can differ from that expected from their phylogenetic relationships. This has broad implications across biological disciplines."
But the evolution of germ plasm comes at a price
One of the things that was initially intriguing was that early on we realized that embryos from animals with germ plasm were different than embryos that use epigenesis. In fact, the adult body forms of these animals were not like those of "typical vertebrates". This is why we developed the axolotl as an experimental model. Axolotls are "typical vertebrates", and they don't contain germ plasm. We found that the mechanisms that control axolotl development are conserved in mammalian embryos. However, they are not found in "conventional" models for vertebrate development, all of which have germ plasm. So when plasm evolves it leads to evolutionary dead ends. In other words, whereas salamander-like amphibians evolved into reptiles, then mammals, frogs could only evolve into other frogs. A lot of different frogs, but still just frogs. For this reason we think axolotl embryos have a very promising future as a model for human development.

Rashida Jones' Latest Recreation: Writing and Acting In 'Celeste and Jesse Forever' - NBC 7 San Diego
What's really worth watching
The actress adds screenwriter to her growing list of credits.
Rashida Jones at the Los Angeles Premiere "I Love You Man."
After years of bringing other people’s scripts to life, Rashida Jones is finally putting words in her own mouth.
36-year-old Jones - daughter of music giant Quincy Jones and actress Peggy Lipton - has enjoyed a thriving acting career in the past five years, most prominently on television with a supporting stint on “The Office” and a starring role on “Parks and Recreation,” as well as a diverse array of film roles ranging from “I Love You, Man” to “The Social Network.” But now Jones the actress shares the spotlight with Jones the screenwriter.
Celeste and Jesse Forever” marks her first foray in co-writing a film – with longtime friend and fellow performer Will McCormack (“Brothers & Sisters”) – as well as starring in it. In the film Jones and Andy Samberg play a seemingly devoted, loving couple who have difficulty disconnecting from their otherwise failing marriage. The film features both an accomplished, thoughtful screenplay and a moving and funny central performance from Jones, who sat down with PopcornBiz to discuss branching out of her comfort zone and taking an increasingly creative hand in her burgeoning career.
How long have you been wanting to write a movie?
Kind of forever. I didn't realize that until I found this little thing that I wrote in the third grade where they said what do you want to do when you get older, and I said that I wanted to write movies for Hollywood. I must've buried that somewhere, but I guess for a long time.
Being a part of the creative community through your upbringing and having, probably, some doors open for you, was it more of a struggle to figure which of those potential roads you wanted to take?
Yeah. I do feel like the thing that allowed me potential was that I definitely had great schooling. I had incredibly loving parents. I wanted for nothing growing up, but in coming back to Hollywood, I wish that the doors were wide open, but they're really not. I mean, weirdly, Hollywood is a meritocracy – only because people get fired if money is not made or things aren't successful. So nobody gave me anything. Like, I WISH that I had gotten a couple of breaks! I didn't really ask for them anyway, but I pounded the pavement. I moved to New York after school and I ran around and auditioned and that didn't work out. I got one part in a year and I moved back to L.A. and I started doing commercials, and then finally got a TV show.
But making the choice was difficult, mainly because how can you make a decision about what the hell to do with your life at 21? It seems utterly ridiculous. But I did an independent film when I was 19 with a friend from school and it was really fun. It was really challenging, and I thought, 'Oh, I'm going to try this for a while,' before I realized that it was really hard to get an acting job.
Did you get a different kind of creative buzz from the writing portion than you get from acting?
They're both very fulfilling. I would say that acting is a great way to stay present, because you show up and you have a couple essential parts of the job. You have to hit your mark and you have to know your lines, and that's about it. Then everything else you just have to be present for. Writing, it's like work. There's no shortcut to writing. You just have to sit down and do it. Sometimes I don't prepare for acting, I'll be honest, and you show up and you have to just, as the English people say, blag it and hope that it's not a nightmare.
There's no such thing as that in writing. You can't just show up and fake it. You have to actually do the work, and every time you write a scene you're going to rewrite it. You just know that you are. It doesn't matter how long you spend on that scene, you're going to rewrite it. When someone reads a hundred pages that you wrote with somebody it's a very different feeling for them to tell you that they like it than them telling you, 'Oh, I saw you on that episode of whatever and I really liked it.' It's more meaningful.
In your writing partnership with Will, does one excel at one thing and the other another thing, or is it hard to tell who's done what?
No, no – Will is a poet, and he did this one thing in the movie where I have to read my journal and I have to read a love letter that Jesse writes to me. I end up keeping it for myself. I was like, 'Will, just go write the thing and bring it back so we can film the insert.' He brought it back and he made me start crying. He did it in, like, ten minutes and he wrote this beautiful love letter to Celeste and he's good at that. He's a poet. I'm maybe better at structure. I'm very organized. He's, in my assessment, funnier than I am. He's really good at pulling out observations, and his turn of phrase and his lingo is really unique, and I feel like defined our characters in the movie.
When you were performing in this did you look at the script like it was something given to you, or did you possess part of it still, in the acting?
Once on set I fully put myself into Lee's [Toland Krieger] hands, because I have immense respect for directing and feel like there is no movie if the actors don't give themselves over to the director. So, I tried to stay out of that as much as I could and just stay in the acting part of it.
Having artists as parents, what are the qualities that you think you've gotten from each of them that have shaped you professionally?
My dad is the most loving human being on the planet. He wakes up every day and is happy to be alive and he's a joy to be around, and everybody who ever meets him comes up to me and tells me how he just had such an impact on their lives. I aspire to be that. What I think I get from my dad probably is being social, liking people, connecting with people, having faith in humanity, being interested in humanity. I would say that most of the jobs that I've gotten, I'm capable and I have some skill, but I think I'm probably just nice to have around because I like working. It's fun and I like people. My mom is incredibly sensitive and empathetic. I hope that I emulate that part of her. Both my parents are really funny and they both curse a lot, and so do I.
How do you deal with the fame side of your career?
It's tough. It's definitely tough. I wish that there was a kind of better relationship with fame and the outside world, because I think there's a lot of it that's really destructive, obviously. Most of it is really destructive. It's tough, and for the most part it's nice and it enables me to keep doing what I'm doing, but sometimes you just want to wake up and go roam around town and watch people and be observed and not be observed and you just never have that option. That's tough, but I would never complain because I know everything that it's given me.
With this labor of love done now, how soon are you planning on doing the next one?
I don't know. Will and I wrote a movie for Universal. It's kind of up to them, whether or not they want to make it. Then we're just kind of trying to do the thing that's so hard to do, which is that we're actors and we're so used to just being, like, 'Yes!' Actors have to say yes to everything, because it's hard to get jobs, and so we're trying to just really get back into what inspires us and just forget about all the other stuff and start writing from scratch.
When do you go back to work at what may not become your day job?
Well, I'm doing a movie in London. It's called 'Cuban Fury.' It's a comedy about salsa dancing with Nick Frost and Chris O'Dowd and Ian McShane. It's going to be fun.
Do you get to dance in it?
Yeah. I've been training for six weeks. I have a little facility, but it doesn't matter. It's so hard. I'm getting better, but marginally. I'm terrible at being lifted – terrible! I don't know what it is, but there's something about throwing up all your body parts and letting someone else catch you that feels so unnatural. My turns are pretty good because now I know how to spot. So my turns look professional and I'm very happy about that.
"Celeste and Jesse Forever" opens nationally August 3.

Xi-Modi meeting to show diplomatic wisdom of China, India
Source:Global Times Published: 2018/4/23 21:38:39
Chinese President Xi Jinping will have an informal meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 27-28 in the Central China city of Wuhan, foreign ministers of the two countries announced in Beijing on Sunday.
Indian leaders attach importance to reciprocity in diplomacy. After visiting China in 2015, Modi attended the Ninth BRICS Summit in Xiamen last year and will attend the summit of Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Qingdao in June. He is visiting China before June to meet Xi. This unusual move highlights how much the two sides value this meeting.
The meeting can be as significant as the one in 1988 when Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping and then Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi met, and will set the course for bilateral ties. The Indian external affairs minister, defense minister and national security adviser recently visited China in succession. Indian academia and political circles have agreed the country needs to develop cooperative ties with China. It appears that India is changing its radical attitude toward China highlighted in Doklam standoff last year.
Within China, hostility toward India is being replaced by hopes for friendly ties. The two countries need more communication to enhance mutual trust and eliminate the possibility of another border crisis.
Asian powers and emerging countries, both China and India share many common interests in international affairs. They both have to strive for the right to develop and face Western pressure on issues like trade and intellectual property rights. There is large room for economic cooperation.
Many conflicts between China and India broke out due to a lack of trust or at Western instigation, like the border disputes and so-called dragon-elephant competition.
The US and Japan began underscoring Indo-Pacific strategy last year in an explicit attempt to rope in India against China. But the strategy hasn't brought India any strategic benefit except to trigger vigilance between New Delhi and Beijing. Indian elites now realize that India shouldn't develop cooperation with the US at the cost of ties with China.
China and India cooled down soon after the Doklam standoff, which indicates the solid foundation for ties. The West wanted China and India to confront each other, but it didn't work out that way. The Xi-Modi meeting will be a dialogue between the two countries with ancient wisdom and also their dialogue with the outside world. China and India have a more robust economic development than other emerging countries and are both independent. Any attempt to manipulate the way they deal with each other will likely fail.
If China and India can promote their own development and bilateral ties, they will be more competitive in the world. We hope the high-level meeting set this week in Wuhan will enhance friendship and push forward the strategic trust of the two nations. The cooperation of two countries, home to about 40 percent of the global population, is highly significant for the whole world.

The New History Textbook
Share this article:
Join the Discussion:
Japan’s wartime atrocities have long been a source of tension and anger among various east Asian nations. Failure to admit guilt and continued veneration of wartime “heroes,” many of whom are convicted war-criminals, cause diplomatic stress between nations even today.
A footnote reads as follows:
Jonathan Spalink
• Following up on my post yesterday about the controversial Japanese history textbook that glosses over Japan’s past wartime aggressions, a new textbook is almost complete which will act as a supplement to current Japanese history textbooks with a muc
• bryan seely
It is offensive to think that things are left out of history books to “save face” because a country is ashamed, or just does not want to regress into the past.
The Japanese people have come quite a long way since that period, but they still should atone for the actions that happened.
The bataan death march is an event that has haunted the memory of many of my fellow Marines, and is not documented well, if at all, by the Japanese history books. And quite a large part of me is Japanese at heart, and also american. So where I stand on the issue really becomes gray and confusing. To hear first hand from people in the bataan death march about the things that they saw and were forced to go through is unbelievable, and still brings tears to my eyes, but still being able to defend the japanese people is something i have to do.
Currently i am involved in a war of sorts, currently on a mission in kuwait, but iraq is right down the road. Defending what is right and what is wrong is a no brainer, but no matter what happens, it should be recorded into history completely, correctly, and with as much clarity without bias.

A Look At Crypto Coins
Crypto coins are digital currencies which have been created as a substitute for conventional forms of foreign money. These coins are available on the internet and in the real world at the same time. Here is an explanation of the foremost difference between traditional coins and crypto coins.
Should you have any issues regarding exactly where as well as tips on how to use what does floor price mean nft, you can e-mail us at our web page.
There are three ways wherein coins may be created; by means of gold, fiat currency or different assets. The difference between the three types of coins is the method used to create them. Gold can be used to create a coin, however it has a very limited supply. To be able to create a new coin, the gold must be bought.
Fiat forex is just paper cash. It isn’t backed by any type of asset. The coin is created out of thin air by authorities mints and is both created utilizing a computer or a printing press.
Fiat cash additionally has its disadvantages and one in all the main ones is that it’s at all times printed by governments. It has a very limited provide and the governments can print money at will, with the blessing of the vast majority of the folks.
Crypto coins alternatively aren’t backed by any asset, they’re backed by a mathematical algorithm. This algorithm allows anyone who holds the algorithm to promote the algorithm and get a brand new coin for his or her funding. That is in contrast to fiat money which cannot be liquidated by anyone. It is as in case you hold a bag of money which nobody will allow you to take away from their arms.
One of the main advantages of those coins is that they are simpler to create than conventional coins. They’re additionally relatively cheaper to provide than gold.
There can be a scarcity issue that comes into play with these coins. If there is a considerable amount of demand for a specific crypto-coin then there’ll always be more provide. The only option to get one of those coins is to buy the algorithm from a seller who has offered the algorithm to buyers.
Crypto coins are traded in an open market similar to traditional money. In contrast to traditional cash they’re harder to counterfeit. As a result of they aren’t backed by any asset, it also makes it tougher to be able to print them.
Crypto coins are completely nameless. Once a coin is created they cannot be traced again to their creator. This makes them splendid for criminals to make use of.
They are sometimes most popular by worldwide businesses as a result of they are often traded without going through the everyday authorized channels. With fiat money it is rather simple to hint transactions again to a person. It is far more durable to do with crypto coins.
One major downside is that it is harder to inform the place a given crypto-coin originated from. The algorithm and code that is required to create it can’t be used to trace the origin of the coin as a result of it has by no means been created.
Though this could appear like a superb factor it also creates an obstacle. Since there is no central authority that may problem new crypto-coins without first creating a new algorithm, which means there will all the time be a finite variety of coins to create and a finite variety of them that can ever be accessible.

Cabin Views
I thought with 20.2 release there would be inside cabin views. How do you pull those up?
Do you know where the free cam is? We’ll go into that slider section and there should be around 4 more options above it. Such as Interior Drone 1, Exterior Drone 1.
Cabin views are present in the CRJ series. It is possible to use the interior free cam on the 777’s, but due to the size of the 777, the first section is the only section with a proper cabin.
On my personal opinion, the worst part (the only bad part) of the 777, is the lack of detail in the cabin. There are quite a few cabin texture errors, and the quality of the chairs and other materials is pretty bad compared to the CRJ. But it’s not a major concern.

They let anyone in. Its a bloody crime, I tell you…
Woohoo! My citizenship ceremony is on the evening of the 17th. Now I just have to sing the national anthem and learn the Affirmation of Allegiance. It goes like this:
I solemnly, and sincerely affirm that I will be faithful and bear true witness against my neighbour’s ox… umm… hang on…
I solemnly, and sincerely affirm that I will be faithful and bear truly down upon the err… thingy….
I solemnly, and sincerely affirm that I will be faithful and truely allegiate myself to the Queen with big dogs biting her coz she’s too saved… no, that’s something else…
I solemnly, and sincerely affirm that I will be faithful and bear fruit throughout the summer months… girding loins is in there somewhere, isn’t it….
I solemnly, and sincerely affirm that I will be faithful true to bears… oh I’m losing it here….
NZ should have a more memorable and suitable national oath. How about:
Er yeah g’day. Right ho. I promise do whatever Queen Liz says, if she can remember where Godzone is, I promise to behave myself most of the time, not to give the cops too much lip, unless I’ve had a few, to rarely drive when I’ve drunk, and to slag off the bloody Aussies at every opportunity. So help me Fred.
Google Earth have updated their Wellington imagery. Round about feb-march this year, judging from the state of assorted construction around about the place. So, its time for another far too hard quiz:
Where is this and who lives there?
First person to get them all wins the entire contents of my head. But if you’ve got them all, then you probably already have the entire contents of my head, so I’ll get you a beer instead. And they’re not all in Wellington. And by “lives”, I mean used to, will, or is there occasionally. And by “there” I don’t necessarily mean Wellington, either, though most are.

Why companies do better than governments. Coz companies tackle the easy problems and governments the hard problems. And that’s how its supposed to be.
The economics of petrol. In short, prices go up, people use less. And moan about it lots.

Minor irritation
I had yet another really boring dream. This time, the van ran out of diesel in Wiltshire. I got the spare fuel tank and walked to a nearby garage. Came back, filled it up, it worked.
And my citizenship application has been approved, so I am just one singing of the national anthem away from officially being a Kiwi.
EDIT: Just got caught in an icy shower. It was cold enough that the scars on my face started hurting, which is a new and entirely unpleasant experience.
And this week’s editorial:
Despite all the snuggling into multiple duvets, there’s one part of me that still gets cold. Not my head, you’d be surprised at how warm two millimetres of hair is. Yup, its the back of my neck.
There’s only one solution – I’m going to grow a mullet.
yes, this is in direct response to all the people impressed by me – stop it, you’re creeping me out
How to:
How to lose a war:
Rear Adm Harris said:
“They are smart. They are creative, they are committed,”
“They have no regard for life, either ours or their own. I believe this was not an act of desperation, but an act of asymmetrical warfare waged against us.”
You couldn’t make it up, US military considers Guantanamo suicides ‘acts of war’ against America.
How to win a war:
California has had thirty years of astounding economic growth with no growth in electricity use. Why? Efficiency. (Also, Rod Oram is good.)
How to get ready for Peak Oil and make ourselves rich in process:
Damn, didn’t get a personal mention, but hell, we got the ideas into the paper.
And how to confuse a Jez:
Free trade makes everyone better off, because the countries who are best at making a particular thing can export it to everyone else, and import different things from those who are best at making everything else. So why in the name of Jeebus did Britain import 465 tonnes of gingerbread whilst exporting 460 tonnes? Its the The chocolate biscuit paradox.
Oh crap
I have nothing to do. This is a whole new experience for me.
I could tidy and clean, but its pretty clean here. I could train more, except hockey this morn and aerials this afternoon, so body is dealt to. I could think, but brain all thinky no argh thinky. I could go see people, but its just turned manky out.
So I’m going to sit on my arse and do nothing. I’m seriously out of practise at that.
And, I have new tunes.
Fvck Yeah
Its not often you get to walk out of an exam going “fvck yeah!”
So I think I may have crossed the line between annoyingly chipper and utterly insufferable.
And then I went and sat in the sun outside Deliaro and enjoyed not having to do anything with my brain at all. Also, a blue cheese and quince toasty, which is one of the best combinations in the world.
And then there was shopping for Tunes and bumping into People. Now there will be a Jaunt on my Velocipede in the Sunshine, followed by a Movie, then a Party.
And then I may die of exhaustion, coz I’m deeply, deeply shattered.
How to mislead
Yet another press release slagging off the Green party, from NZ’s climate skeptics claiming that New Zealand has got colder since 1998 and therefore climate change is a myth.
Sounds unbelievable, doesn’t it, ‘everyone’ knows that global warming is happening, so if its getting colder, then maybe, just maybe, the huge environmentalist conspiracy is wrong after all. And they’re making this claim based on proper scientific evidence, too, not like those wooly-haired hippies in the Green party.
And strictly speaking, they’re absolutely right about the first part. NZ has got colder since 1998. This is all pretty convincing stuff, except they’ve missed out one tiny fact.
1998 was the hottest year on record.
Consider, the men’s high jump world record hasn’t been beaten since 1993. Every high jumper since then has done worse. Does this mean that men are getting shorter? No. In fact, a more realistic view of the evidence would consider that the record in 1912 was 2.00 metres. The fact that its 2.45 metres now rather suggests that men are jumping better, over the long run. However, choosing the highest level ever reached as your baseline, you can make a claim that everyone recently has been worse.
Now, if you don’t know that 1998 was a record year, then what they’re saying comes across as eminently reasonable. If you do, then their argument come across as utterly specious. I’d like to call it lying, but they’re not, just misleading. What is a mystery to me, is that such dire reasoning and blatant misuse of evidence can get published in the newspapers.
Science, part 3
Can you tell the difference between these graphs:
One is a measure of reality and can be explained with one paragraph. This we call science.
The other is a random bunch of lines, thrown together with sufficient complication to stop anyone from disagreeing. This we call propaganda, lying, bare-faced cheek, or economics. And it makes Edward Tufte cry.
But less bitching, what can we learn from this? (Aside from the fact that I don’t like economists, but you’ve probably worked that out by now.) Rather a lot, actually.
How to save (one third of) a MILLION DOLLARS on your mortgage
(in which our hero realises things about mortgages that they really should teach at school)
We’re building a house in Brooklyn, or nearly about to start on the carpad. And the house we want is going to cost something like H!L!F! dollars. We can afford it, but with a twenty-five year mortgage.
Kicking the numbers around, it turns out that we’d paying more to the bank in interest than we’d be paying for the house.
Swyvst that for a game of soldiers.
So here’s Plan B – build half the house. Build the half with the kitchen, bathroom and one bedroom. If it costs half of H!L!F! then we pay off mortgage in 8 years. Build second half of house. Pay of mortgage in 8 years. Save approx 75% of the interest costs.
Why? Coz on a mortgage of H!L!F!, our first payment would be mostly interest, not paying off the loan, so the loan initially gets paid off very slowly. On a mortgage of half that, our first payment is mostly paying off the loan, not paying interest, so it gets paid off faster and there’s then less interest, so the loan gets paid off even faster.
Saving us getting on for a third of a MILLION DOLLARS in interest.
(not saying that this is what we’re going to do, there’s other considerations, but its something we’re considering)
So the solution is obviously, buy the smallest house you can squeeze into, pay it off before moving up.
And yes, this is deeply regressive, in the economists sense of the word, where regressive means “kicking the poor in the nuts”. The Poll Tax in the UK was not regressive, it affected everyone the same. Yes, poor and rich hit with the same size bill. This is perfectly fair, for some meanings of fair. Cue riots and the downfall of Maggie.
This is worse.
If a rich person and a poor person buy the same house, but the rich person can pay the mortgage off quicker, then the same house costs the poor person more overall. Whoops.
Who’s got an incentive to change this sorry state of affairs? Banks are quite happy giving out 25 year loans secured on property, coz that means 25 years of interest payments. Developers get a better return per cost of land by building big houses that need 25 year mortgages. Poor people can’t complain coz they’re busy trying to afford the rent. Government? Well, obviously the market is working wonderfully, so why should they intervene?
On eloquence
Wot I wrote:
“Our national energy security is at growing risk from our total dependence on overseas supplies of oil. Our economy is affected by the rising price of oil and its impact on our current account deficit. The continued use of fossil fuels is accelerating climate change, which will introduce a new layer of costs.”
What someone else wrote:
“Oil, …, its volatile price erodes prosperity; its vulnerabilities undermine security; its emissions destabilize climate.”
And that’s so much better than mine that I feel like never trying to write again.
This is an increasing concern for me, witness the first Glorious George‘s concern for Saxon language and yesturday’s example of translating a rap into a far-removed different dialect, maintaining both sense and scan. That’s just showing off but I couldn’t do it if I tried.
Its not that I’m bad, I can take agricultural productivity, the epitomy of a worthy but dull topic, and turn out an interesting editorial. But I’m not as good as I want to be at writing common English. I can write perfectly acceptable scientific English, I’ve been trained to, with all its latin and greek roots to provide an aura of unquestionable authority. That leads nicely on to writing appropriately complicated Management Drivel, but that merely provides access to The Club, rather than being useful.
I think I need to remember how to speak very plainly, before all that education intruded. My original dialect comes from a mix of Mercia and Wessex, I grew up north of the river, went to school south of it. Reading plenty of older English would help. How old?
Fifteenth Century, no prob:
“And one of theym named Sheffelde a mercer cam in to an hows and axed for mete and specyally he axyed after eggys. And the good wyf answered that she coude spake no frenshe. And the marchaunt was angry, for he also coude speke no frenshe, but wold haue hadde egges and she vnder-stode hym not. And thenne at laste a nother sayd that he wolder haue eyren. Then the good wyf sayd that she vnderstod hym wel. Loo what sholde a man in thyse dayes now wryte, egges or eyren. Certaynly it is harde to playse euery man by cause of dvuersite and chaunge of langage.”
Fourteenth Century, I’m tenuous:
“Siþen þe sege and þe assaut watz sesed at Troye,
Þe borgh brittened and brent to brondez and askez,
Þe tulk þat þe trammes of treasoun þer wroght
Watz tried for his tricherie, þe trewest on erthe:”
Older than that, I’m stuffed.
So maybe I’ve found something to learn after this economics is done. Oh, and getting back to being fit, having some fun building the house, then starting on the List.

Tactics in football are always constantly evolving. From the WM formation right through to the tika taka that has brought a lot of success to Barcelona and the Spanish national team respectively, coaches are always looking to stay one step ahead of their rivals.
Passing within football is seen as the main ingredient in the game. The question is devising a style that suits your team best and over the years there have been many debates as to which tactic brings the best chance of success. Whether it is the short passing and possession-based game or the Charles Reep long ball style it has generally been agreed that organisation and passing the ball is integral to football.
In the early days of association football this was not the case. Dribbling the ball as far as possible towards the opponent’s goal and kicking the ball for someone to chase if they could get no further was how the game was played in its early years. This, it was deemed, was how football should be played as it displayed all the manly virtues of good honest pluck and endeavour.
Scotland was to shake this perception by introducing passing and in doing so invented the game that we know today. It was not done because it was aesthetically pleasing but to take advantage of the changes to the offside rule in 1867 which stated that a player was not offside providing that two opponents were between him and the goal.
This was a case of the Scots seeing an opportunity to use tactics to their advantage and was one of the major evolution changes in football as a result. Organisation and passing the ball to each other was seen as a far more effective and productive way of winning the game.
Queen’s Park adopted this new style quite easily and probably had the better players at the time to implement this new approach. It also helped that the club was more enthusiastic and looking at ways at honing this new organised way of playing football rather than relying on a team of individuals trying to dribble towards goal.
Richard Robinson who wrote Queen’s Park 150 year anniversary book stated that “Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays were fixed upon as the nights for play… Whoever selected the teams on practising nights had the power to place their men on the field, or appoint substitutes, and the players shall be bound to adhere to their instructions.”
This new passing style of Queen’s Park was already making people sit up and take notice. Many called it a “zig-zag,” approach due to the way the ball was passed quickly between the Queen’s Park team. In one match between Queen’s Park and Wanderers the Glasgow Herald not only commented on the neat passing style but gave an in-depth description of the passing between the Queen’s Park players.
More importantly for Queen’s Park it was to bring much success to the club who dominated Scottish football between 1874 and 1893 as they won the Scottish Cup ten times within this period. They were also finalists twice in 1884 and 1885 in the FA Cup when Scottish teams were invited to enter the competition. Blackburn Rovers were the team who beat Queen’s Park 2-1 and 2-0 respectively.
Although combination football, as it was called, was the adopted style amongst Scottish clubs it was to be an international match between Scotland and England in November 1872 that was meant to have caught the attention of the English who saw the benefits of a passing style.
Queen’s Park made up the majority of the first eleven, but it wasn’t just the familiarity between the players that persuaded the Scots to play a passing style. There was another tactical reason in the sense that they knew the English were bigger and stronger. If they tried to take on England at their game of dribbling and trying to use a physical approach, then there was a good chance that they would come out second best. Consequently, it was decided to adopt an organised passing style whereby they could control the game.
The game finished 0-0 but the Scottish passing style certainly drew attention from the English press. The London illustrated noted that “individual skill was generally on England’s side but did not play to each other so well as their opponents, who seem to be adept in passing the ball.”
Critics may have derided the Scottish way of playing the game as “unfootball like,” but it showed that tactics in football were already being developed with Scotland being the leaders in the field.
It stood to reason that the Scottish influence of combination football would infiltrate the English game, with Jonathan Wilson in Inverting The Pyramid pointing to two Scotland internationals in particular – Henry Renny-Tailyour and John Blackburn. Both were lieutenants in the British army and played for the Royal Engineers who took the Scottish style to Kent. A former Sheffield United player, W.E. Clegg, noted how the change in tactics led to Sheffield United being beaten quite badly.
Others like the Reverend Spencer Walker, who had returned as a Master to Lancing College, saw the benefits of combination football or in his words “turning a mere bally-rag team into a well-ordered team.” He delightedly noted the positive impact it had on his side after fixing positions for his players and instructing swift passing, and how it had baffled and bewildered their opponents. “They had a where do we come in look,” he observed as Walker’s team dominated proceedings.
The Scotch Professors
Although the benefits of passing were being noted, it was the rising professionalism of the English game that was to have more of an impact. With crowds and interest in football rising to huge heights, there were many ambitious clubs that wanted nothing but the best for their football team.
Scotland, therefore, was seen as fertile ground to recruit players who were not only noted for their ability, but also their tactical acumen. This, they felt, would increase their side’s chances of success with the hope that the Scots in the team would pass on their knowledge to their English counterparts which earned them the nickname ‘the Scotch Professors’. Advertisements were placed in Scottish newspapers that invited players to venture south and try out for a variety of clubs.
Many took up the opportunity with the likes of Scotland internationals Jimmy Douglas and Hugh McIntyre joining Blackburn Rovers with another James ‘Reddie’ Lang joining Wednesday. Of course, it was the financial incentive that led to many plying their trade in England which Lang duly noted years later when he admitted that he “had not gone down south to play for nothing.”
There were many critics who lamented the way professionalism was creeping into football. Some even viewed Scottish players who took up the opportunity of playing in England as “traitorous wretches,” with some even being blacklisted in representing the national side. This, though, was blowing against the wind as the ban was repealed in 1893 with Scottish clubs now allowed to become professional. Football, like its tactics, was now moving on to the next stage with combination football becoming the way to play.
Preston North End was the first club to benefit from recruiting the best players from north of the border and employing a more Scottish way of playing that brought them the success of their early years. The Glaswegian, James McDade, was signed for Preston and not only was he regarded as one of their best players, but influential on how they played the game as a team.
With a more organised structure, Preston was one step ahead of their rivals. In the 1888-89 inaugural season of the Football League, Preston not only went through the season unbeaten – sealing the nickname “The Invincibles” – but also won the FA Cup sealing the first ever double with another record of not conceding a goal. The league was retained the following year with Preston quickly becoming a dominant force in the English game.
Other clubs upon seeing the success of the Lancashire club continued to recruit Scottish players and adopt the tactics that was considered the norm in Scotland. Sunderland for instance had nine Scottish players (which included John Auld and Johnny Campbell, who was the top scorer in the league for three seasons in a row) helped Sunderland win three league titles.
In 1892, the newly formed Liverpool Football Club saw signing Scottish players as a way of quickly establishing themselves amongst the elite. So much so that after fielding an entire eleven in their first game against Rotherham they were nicknamed the “team of Macs.”
Tom Watson – who had formerly managed Sunderland to their early league championship honours – was also responsible for Liverpool’s first two First Division titles in 1900/01 and 1905/06 respectively. Part of his philosophy was to recruit players from Scotland as he felt that they could easily adapt to the combination football that he wanted his team to play as well as feeling that their ability was more than value for money.
The signing of the Scottish defender Alex Raisbeck from Stoke in 1898 demonstrated this train of thought – he was purchased not just for his ability as a player but his footballing brain. “His directors had every confidence in his judgement, and fearlessly relied on his opinion on all matters relating to the players and the matches of the moment.” wrote the Liverpool Echo in 1924, fifteen years after he had left Liverpool.
There were, of course, complaints about the infiltration of Scottish players into the English game with the notable case of Upton Park who complained to the FA about the number of professional Scottish players within the line-up of their opposition, Preston North End. As a result, Preston were disqualified but this was more to do with the game becoming professional and the payments that were deemed to have been made. However, the incident inadvertently ensured that the game became recognised as professional when the following year such payments Preston had previously made were now legal.
The Scottish influence of how to play football was now becoming ingrained within the game as a whole. It had changed from the chaotic kicking game of early football matches to a more structured, organised game. Dribbling was still part of the game, but the team ethic now ruled. There was no more unruliness of eleven individuals running around and trying to dribble towards the opponent’s goal.
It was inevitable in the next stage of combination football that teams expected their players to adopt positions to ensure that there was structure in their play. Most clubs now favoured a 2-3-5 formation but there were still critics who felt it was a disgrace that defenders now had a role in the game. The Scottish Athletic Journal spoke of “its disgust of certain country clubs keeping two players twenty yards from their own goal.” However, with football clubs becoming successful using these tactics, it was another evolvutionary step to staying at the top.
Back then, as is the case now, coaches and players were always looking for the next advantage that would put them one step ahead of their rivals. So much so that the Arsenal centre-half Percy Sands in a 1907 article for the Sheffield Telegraph and Star Sports Special commented on whether “football was becoming more scientific?” In the piece he mused on the various thoughts and ideas of how football should be played. Whether it was the short passing game, the triangular movement, or the kick and rush style.
Tactics were discussed in the changing rooms prior to games with Tom Boyle, who captained both Burnley and Barnsley, commenting that the side with the best tactics will win the game. Any weaknesses in the opposition were to be exploited with players or play to be moved to that particular part of the field.
Scotland had led the way forward in making passing such an integral part of football as well as ensuring that there was organisation and a shape to the way they played the game.
As a result, combination football was the way to play with the 2-3-5 pyramid formation to be favoured for many years to come. There would be many variations of this system, most notably the Austrian Wunderteam, who played their centre forward in a more withdrawn system in the early 1930s which brought them success and credit.
Football tactics were constantly being assessed and scrutinised with the WM system introduced by Arsenal’s Herbert Chapman being the next major change. That change, like the Scottish passing style, was through an amendment in the offside rule in 1925 that reduced the number of opposition players needed between themselves and the goal-line from three to two. Chapman used it to counter-attack the opposition quickly citing that the opposition was at its most vulnerable after losing possession. Arsenal were to benefit greatly from this tactic.
Tactics are constantly evolving from the push and run philosophy of Arthur Rowe’s Tottenham to Barcelona and Spain’s tiki taka. In the world of football, coaches are always looking to seek that extra edge whether through rule changes or simply using the players’ and exploiting any weaknesses that they may see in the tactics used by the opposition. The English public schools may have introduced the ‘modern’ game to the world, but it was the Scots who started the ‘big bang,’ in terms of using tactics and believing that passing and organisation was far more effective than the mass brawl and disorganisation of early association football.

The 10 Ways You Sabotage Your Fitness
Everyone will make mistakes when attempting to better themselves. The plethora of information on the internet doesn’t make it any easier, because of the wide range of opinions that exist on getting stronger, building muscle, increasing endurance, and decreasing body fat. What the hell should you do?
A lot of things work. There are a number of ways to get from point A to point B. Going back to the basics will take most trainees a long way toward reaching their potential. Hard work, dedication to consistency, and strict attention to nutrition and recovery are the keys.
Sounds simple, right? However, many trainees ignore those time-proven steps and fail to reach their goals due to one or a combination of these:
• Overreaching and having unrealistic expectations. It’s okay to aim high, but be realistic. Not everyone will win Olympic gold, let alone their local lifting competition or endurance event.
• Ignoring genetic limitations. Face it, you have limits to how much you can alter your physical attributes. Your speed, strength, quickness, and endurance can be improved, but you’re limited by your genetic make-up such as skeletal structure (short or tall), muscle mass (thick or thin), and muscle fiber endowment (fast or slow twitch).
• Making simple training missteps. Many training gaffes are correctable. Shore them up, and you will improve the chance of maximizing your potential, including that goal of becoming leaner.
What are these common and correctable training mistakes? Here they are, in no particular order.
Lack of Specificity
If you want to get better at something, then do it. Want to run faster? Then practice running faster. Want to improve your ability in a barbell squat? Then squat with a barbell. Want to improve your cardiovascular endurance? Then perform activities that stress what I call the “musculo-cardio” system. High muscular demand creates a high stress on the heart and lungs, so emphasize the large muscles of your body when exercising.
If you are trying to maximize fat loss, exercise itself does not make a huge dent into burning fat. It’s the post-workout demand that is important. Dig a deep hole during your workout to create a situation where your body needs to tap into your fat reserves to get out of that hole, post-workout.
Lack of Intensity
It’s exercise, folks. Proper exercise should be physically demanding. To make alterations in your body—whether in strength, endurance, or muscle mass—you need to push yourself beyond your current status. You must create a stress (overload) on your current physical capacity to move to the next level.
Demanding exercise is not fun, but that is what you need to make changes. So run harder, push through those demanding resistance training repetitions, squeeze out one or two more repetitions during a timed circuit exercise, or decrease your recovery time between sets.
If your target is cardiovascular endurance, interval training has been proven to be an efficient means of augmenting it. Focus on these variables:
• Progressively increase the number of bouts.
• Decrease the recovery time.
• Increase the intensity of effort. This can come from increasing your speed or increasing the distance or duration of your intervals.
And for the love of Arthur Saxon, if you’re resistance training, push your sets to the maximum, safely. If you’re capable of 15 repetitions but stop at 11 because “you’re too tired,” you sold yourself short. Yes, it may hurt a bit more, but it’s temporary. Don’t be soft. Get a competent training partner, push yourself safely with the goal of as many proper repetitions possible, and enjoy your gains.
Skipping the Weights When You’re Trying to Lose Fat
People hate to hear it, but it is the truth: fat loss is 80% diet and 20% appropriate exercise. Exercising hard and creating a calorie deficit is the general formula for weight loss. That approach will work when it comes time to stepping on the weight scale. But is scale weight the only desirable outcome? No, it’s not.
To optimally shed body fat, choose resistance (strength) training above all others. It stimulates the growth and maintenance of muscle tissue, and leave you in better shape in the wake of a calorie deficit. Always remember, resistance training builds or at least maintains your body’s shape, but ignoring it and over-doing traditional “cardio” will go the opposite direction: less scale weight, but an emaciated body.
Too Much Mindless Cardio
I loathe the term “cardio.” As I write this, I’m doing “cardio,” as I have been throughout the day. I have been inhaling oxygen, my heart has been beating, and sending oxygen to my muscles and organs via my circulatory system to keep me functioning. Boom. I’ve been nailing that cardio thing all day long.
All jokes aside, here’s the typical scenario:
Trainee: “Sure I’ll do some resistance training, but I need to get my steady-state three-mile run in first.”
Although doing something is better than nothing, postponing resistance training to hang your hat on that low-intensity three-mile effort is not the optimal choice. Go ahead and feel good about doing those three miles. But if you don’t properly resistance train, you’ll lose scale weight but look soft. The evidence is quite clear: low-level running or walking burns minimal energy. The total calorie burn will be less when compared to other shorter-term but high-intensity options, such as circuit resistance training.
The bottom line: if you want to look better and bring back your clothing line from 10 years ago, your exercise choice should be less low-effort “cardio,” and more high-effort resistance or circuit training.
Risky Exercises and Improper Technique
Would you rather be healthy and able to train consistently for years, or nagged by injuries and unable to do much of anything? Training on a regular basis is satisfying. Training sporadically due to down time from injury is unsatisfying.
I know all activities have some element of risk to them, but some more than others. If you are the average Jane or Joe Schmoe desiring to “get in shape,” improve your stamina, and lose a few inches in your belly, there is no need to engage in potentially harmful activities, such as:
• Olympic weightlifting
• Powerlifting
• CrossFit-type training
• Obstacle Course/Tough Mudder-type training
• Excessive long-distance running
• Any other extreme, joint-compromising training
Believe it or not, you can train hard to get in better shape without lifting ultra-heavy weights, engaging in explosive, joint-compromising exercises, jumping across a ditch, or running 50 miles per week. Proper exercise selection should allow for optimal stimulation with minimal undue stress on your body’s structural integrity.
At the gym, here is rule number one: if in doubt, slow it down. Yanking and jerking weights can easily compromise joint integrity. Google weight training injuries, and you’ll see what I mean. Perform exercises under control. That is, slow the movement speed to a level that does not create havoc on your muscles and joints. In fact, slowing it down will more efficiently recruit muscle fibers.
Running—a seemingly innocuous activity—can be harmful over time. Running is a single-support event. Your bodyweight is absorbed by one leg on each ground contact. Tally the number of single-leg ground contacts in a running session, and multiply that by the number of sessions in a week, a year, and number of years. It takes a toll in the long-term. Shin splints, stress fractures, and ankle, knee, and hip joint issues eventually result.
If you’re just trying to lose a few pounds and improve your conditioning level, there is absolutely no need to start a running program. Shore up your diet and hit the weights. If you’re hung up on “I gotta do my cardio,” use a device that is low-impact, like an elliptical or climbing device, but don’t spend an inordinate amount of time using them.
If you are required to run, sprint, or perform high-stress agility drills (athletes), use a progressive program that allows your body to adapt to those stresses. Be smart, use impeccable technique, and assure proper recovery time between training sessions. Make every attempt to use progressive training to minimize the potential for joint trauma.
Exercise Won’t Trump a Lousy Diet
Cheap calories are everywhere: hardware stores, gas stations with their attached convenience stores, your local grocery stores, even department stores. Standing in the check-out line? Candy bars and soda stare you down. They win, and you lose. You succumb to the temptation and make that purchase. Add those calories to your other daily intake.
The calories burned by exercise are minimal relative to the calories from bad food consumption. How about an example:
Take an active, 30-year old female, 5’ 5”, and 150 pounds. To maintain her current bodyweight, she requires approximately 2,180 calories per day. To reach that, she could eat three regular meals of 527 calories each, and a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack of 300 calories each.
Her workout consists of 30 minutes on the treadmill at 4.5 miles per hour, then she “hits the weights.” The 30 minutes on the treadmill burns approximately 260 calories. Add to that a half-assed resistance training routine (a lot of abs and a Planet Fitness-type of effort on some upper body exercises), and maybe another 150 calories are used. The total approximate calories used in the hour would be 410.
That hour of work is completely nullified by the consumption of any of these:
• Ten minutes with a bag of chips (160) and a 20oz soda (233): 393 calories. Oops.
• Five minutes with a double cheeseburger: 430 calories. Yikes.
Inadequate Rest
Training too often and not allowing for proper adaptation is not over-training, but under-recovering. Proper exercise should be demanding, and put your body in a hole that it needs to rise out of to accrue a positive adaptation. So many people hit the gym or running venue too often, and don’t allow for their previous session’s demand to kick in and elevate them to a higher level.
If you experience a laceration to a body part, you need to clean the wound, cover it, and let biology run its course in order for the healing process to take place. That takes a few days, at least. Similarly, when you perform a kick-ass training session (which leaves your body “down in the hole”), you need to allow adequate time to reap the rewards of that training.
The average person may sit at a desk for hours each day, head home and plop their butt on a sofa and watch television. Yet, they need adequate nutrition and sleep just to recover from being alive. Now look at your day. You might have a profession where you’re physically active. Then pile on the stresses from your workouts. How is your body going to deal with all of that if you’re training too frequently? Work hard, but rest hard. If in doubt, take an extra day between sessions, or plan on periodic training breaks to let your body heal, recover, and adapt.
Too Much Core Training
Two major categories of error exist, here:
• The belief that performing a menu of midsection exercises facilitates fat loss. It is 2017, people. It was proven years ago you cannot spot-reduce fat, yet it’s still attempted. I think it’s a mental hang-up for some.
• The belief that an excessive amount of midsection exercises will improve athletic ability. Make no mistake, a strong core will improve athletic performance. But don’t waste time performing countless exercises and repetitions. Keep it simple: address trunk flexion, extension, and safe rotational exercises using minimal exercises and reasonable set and rep prescriptions. For example, you can do one set of 15 reps each of weighted crunches, back extensions, and Russian twists. Boom! Done.
Besides, what exactly defines the core? Is it solely the abdominals, obliques, and lumbar spine? Some consider the lats and gluteals part of the core as well. In that case, if you’re performing multi-joint leg and upper body pulls, you’re already working your core. Squats, deadlifts, and standing presses engage your midsection musculature and lend themselves to improving core stability.
Poor Recovery Strategies
An exercise session should create a significant demand on your body. Now it’s time to enable adaptation to that demand. Adequate rest time and nutrient intake are paramount.
Immediately after your workout, you should supply your body with appropriate nutrients to facilitate the recovery process. The longer you deprive your body of nutrients, the longer it will take to recover. It doesn’t need to be complicated. A combination of a protein and fast-absorbing carbohydrate is ideal within 30 minutes after your session. One inexpensive, simple, but effective option is chocolate milk. Other simple options:
• A protein shake and an apple
• A banana and a hard-boiled egg
• Milk and cereal
• Cottage cheese and whole wheat crackers
• String cheese and carrot sticks
Many don’t understand the importance of sleep. You overload your cardiovascular system with a quality interval training session, or pound your muscles in an intense lifting session. Either way, you’ve now dug a deep hole. It’s now time to rise out of that hole. A nap here or there will help, but it is far more important to get quality nights of sleep on a consistent basis. Your body regenerates and grows during those valuable hours of deep sleep. Failing to do so will result in less than optimal gains, training regression, and even illness.
Remember, the average, inactive, non-training person requires adequate sleep just to recover from being alive. Your consistent, demanding training, on top of your other daily activities, requires special attention to quality sleep time to gain benefits from your training endeavors.
Lack of Planning and Accountability
I have always been a big believer in establishing a set training plan or template that gives you guidance over a period of weeks. Doing so will keep you focused on your goals and eliminate wavering and guesswork. You might not be able to follow it exactly as prescribed, and adjustments may need to be made along the way. But it at least offers structure and purpose.
Many people train randomly and without structure. They go with their gut, and blindly “do stuff.” Doing something is better than doing nothing, but if you’re going to do something, do it logically. For example, design an eight-week plan. Include progressive strength training twice per week, and interval conditioning or skill training three times per week. This format will give you structure to work with, and lead to more objective gains as opposed to just randomly “doing stuff.”
In addition, documenting the results of each planned training session is critical if you want to realize results. Record the details of your training sessions: the amount of resistance used, your running time, the number of repetitions achieved, the recovery time between exercise bouts, the number of bouts performed, etc. Be specific, as it will help you progress from one training session to another.
Training Is Hard Enough Without Mistakes
Even in this day of modern technology and an abundance of sensible training advice, many well-intended people are in need of sensible advice and guidelines to achieve their goals. Don’t fall prey to the aforementioned training gaffes.
Don’t over-complicate your training. Keep it simple and avoid setbacks due to poor planning. Evaluate your current training program to see if you are making any of these errors. If you’re guilty of any one of them, it may be time to change your routine.

While setting up a website nowadays is much easier, some business owners still have no idea how to do it. Unfortunately, if not done right then, their site will not convert traffic.
If a visitor finds your website hard to navigate, it can frustrate them and negatively affect your brand. Therefore, when building a website, you should ensure you don’t make any crucial mistakes, making it appear unprofessional.
Below you will find mistakes that people make when constructing their websites. However, if you avoid making these mistakes, you’ll have a functional website that visitors will visit.
1. Choosing the Wrong E-Commerce Platform
Today there are thousands of best web hosting service providers. So, you may be wondering why you should pay for hosting when there are free ones that are easier to set up.
While the free sites seem easier to use, several issues are surrounding them. For example, people won’t take your business seriously if you don’t own your domain name. Also, you won’t be able to connect your social media accounts to your free website.
The overall disadvantage of using a free website is you don’t own it or the contents you share. Now, it doesn’t seem so bad spending $5 per month for hosting, does it?
2. Choosing Shared Hosting
A small start-up business with a limited budget will understandably opt for shared hosting; it’s best to move to a dedicated option sooner than later. Doing this will avoid the disadvantages that come with shared hosting, such as accessibility.
According to Audio Eye, “A website that is not accessible increases the legal exposure to a potential accessibility lawsuit.”
Shared hosting is slower on average than dedicated options. Therefore, to rank on Goggle speed is one of the ranking criteria. So, using shared hosting can cause your SEO to suffer.
3. Not Capturing Visitor Emails
One of the worst mistakes you can make is not capturing emails. If you don’t do this, you will lose potential customers when they visit your website. You should ensure you find a way to obtain their emails to follow up with them.
An email list is by far your most priceless asset. It will enable you to publicize your business at little to no cost to you. So, you should ensure you have a pop-up prompting your visitors to sign up.
4. No Marketing Strategy
A common misconception that business owners have is that visitors will automatically visit it if you build a website. They believe that once they buy a domain name, it will have visitors flooding its gate.
Understandably it isn’t easy to accept that it doesn’t work that way, especially when that website is their only source of income. SO, before investing everything in building a website, ensure you have a plan and a marketing strategy.
5. Not Testing Your Website
After constructing your website, you should test each aspect to ensure they’re working correctly. You should also monitor these results to see if you need modification. Testing each element one at a time allows you to know the difference, making changes gradually.
These are only some mistakes business owners often make when setting up their websites. If you avoid these, you’ll have a fully functional website that your potential customers will want to visit.
If you’re not sure how to set up your website to ensure accessibility to everyone, you can get an ADA compliance checker to check for you.

How to Compare: Roth Contribution vs. Roth Conversion vs. Roth Re-Characterization
There are three common investment terms all involving Roth IRAs that we have found to be frequently misunderstood by the corporate professionals we work with. The terms may sound similar, but they can have a drastically different impact on your long-term financial position, depending on how and when they are implemented.
Comparison of Roth Contribution Conversion and Recharacterization.jpg
How do Roth Contributions Work?
A Roth contribution occurs when you put money directly into a Roth IRA from an after-tax source. For example, writing a check from your checking account and depositing the funds into your Roth IRA would be considered a Roth contribution.
Age and Roth Contribution Limits:
Income and Roth Contribution Limits:
• For single tax filers: phase-out of the allowable contribution amount begins at $125,000 of AGI and contributions are not allowed at all above $140,000 of AGI (For the 2021 year).
• For married couples with joint filing, the phase-out begins at $198,000 of AGI, and contributions are not allowed at all above $208,000 of AGI (For the 2021 year).
*Note: You have until the tax filing deadline (June 15th for Texan taxpayers in 2021 and May 17th for non-Texas taxpayers in 2021) to make a contribution.*

How Does a Roth Conversion Work?
A Roth conversion transfers funds from a pre-tax retirement account (like an IRA or 401k) to a post-tax Roth IRA. The converted funds originate from a pre-tax retirement account, meaning there were no taxes paid on the IRA (or 401k) contribution, thus when the pre-tax funds are moved to a post-tax Roth IRA there are taxes due on the conversion. If you were to withdraw funds from a pre-tax account, you would pay taxes on the amount you take out. Similarly, individuals are required to pay ordinary income taxes when converting the pre-tax funds to a Roth IRA. Unlike a Roth contribution, there are no earnings limits that may prevent you from doing a Roth conversion.
Consider that you decide to convert $50,000 from your pre-tax IRA to a Roth IRA. You would process a conversion to move the entire $50,000 of pre-tax funds to the Roth IRA. Thus, when you file your taxes (for the tax year the conversion was made), the $50,000 will be added to your ordinary income. In other words, your taxable ordinary income for the tax year of the conversion will increase by $50,000.
Therefore, it may be more tax-efficient for an individual to complete a Roth conversion during a lower-income year.
While you can withhold taxes from a Roth conversion, it’s not always the best option to optimize tax savings. Generally, it’s more advantageous to pay taxes from a non-retirement account because if you maximize the amount of funds that are moved into the Roth IRA, then you keep a larger amount of money growing tax-free in a retirement account, which receives tax-preferential growth. For most people that decide to convert, the value is in moving money from a pre-tax retirement account to a post-tax retirement account in a low tax year, thus it often makes sense to convert the largest amount possible. However, each person’s situation is unique and you need to assess all facets of your long-term financial plan before you can make a sound decision.
How Does a Roth Re-characterization Work?
A Roth re-characterization is essentially a reversal of a Roth conversion. When you process a Re-characterization, you are sending funds that you converted to Roth back to a pre-tax IRA and the amount of re-characterized funds will not be added to your ordinary income for that year.
Consider that you completed the Roth conversion of $50,000 in the aforementioned example. As the year comes to a close, your annual income is higher than you predicted it would be at the time the conversion was made. Thus when you file your tax return for that year, you’ll be placed in a higher income tax bracket, and the converted funds will be subject to a higher tax rate than you originally intended.
In such a situation, you would likely process a Roth re-characterization, which will prompt the transfer of the converted $50,000 (along with any applicable earnings or loss) from your Roth IRA back to your pre-tax IRA as if it never happened. It’s important to remember that Re-characterizations must be completed by the tax filing deadline or by the specified deadline for any applicable extensions you receive. In addition, current tax reform proposals may do away with the Roth re-characterization option in the near future, which may affect how the financial decisions will impact your long-term financial plan.
While Roth contributions, conversions, and re-characterizations are all great planning tools, they’re accompanied by their own specific rules and tax forms.

Best answer:
Answer by Katielind86
You could try but without baking powder or baking soda they most likely will not rise at all.

if u like really thin cookies u can-if not put something 2 make them rise
2. Proud to be 51 says:
The inspiration for three-ingredient nut cookies comes from this quickie recipe, an urban legend of sorts. No, no ingredients have been left out. Just mix, shape and bake the dough. Baking soda gives a bit of lift, but it really isn’t needed. The cookies are crisp and delicious with mainline peanut butter intensity and so fast, easy and good, you may never go back to your old recipe. Peanut butters vary in their sugar content, and Jif creamy PB gives a balanced flavor.
Easy Peanut Butter Cookies
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking soda, optional
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spritz baking sheets with no-stick spray.
In a bowl with an electric mixer, beat together the peanut butter and sugar until combined. Beat in the egg. Sprinkle baking soda, if using, over the mixture and beat in until combined.
Measure heaping-teaspoon-size pieces of dough into small blobs. Roll the blobs between your palms to make balls, and arrange about 1 inch apart on baking sheets. With the tines of a fork, flatten balls to about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, making a crisscross pattern.
Bake cookies in batches in the middle of the oven until puffed and pale golden, about 10 minutes.
Cool cookies on baking sheets 2 minutes. This is important because they are fragile when hot from the oven, and they need time to set up. Transfer with a metal spatula to racks to cool completely. Makes anywhere from 40 to 60 depending how many bites you like to get out of a cookie.
3. sandra b says:
yes mix butter and peanut butter together add egg ,sugar,flour, mix well make round balls place on cookie pan flatten with fork, bake for about 8 to 10 minutes bake at 350degrees
4. bettysblog says:
uhh you have to have baking soda and a pinch of salt. If not you will end up with a peanut butter blob cookies. Also the oil is never used in making cookies, margarine, butter or shortening is used. Go to neighbors to borrow the soda. everyone has it in their house.
5. hoppykit says:
Proud to be 51 is correct. I have made these on a number of occasions. Only I roll it into a ball and press a hersheys kiss into the ball. Believe it or not they are very good with just the peanut butter, egg and sugar. ( and chocolate kiss)
