Day 2472 - Flowers make you happy
Is there a science behind why flowers make us happy?
The other day my daughter's friends came over to visit her post-surgery and they did what many people do, they brought flowers.
She was happy to see her friends and delighted to receive the gift.
As I was arranging them into a vase I got to wondering, is there a science as to why flowers make us happy?
According to the website About Flowers, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, conducted a study to determine the true power of flowers.
According to behavioural research conduct at Rutgers, flowers provide us with a simple way to improve emotional health. They compare it's positive emotional benefits to that received during exercise.
"The presence of flowers triggers happy emotions, heightens feelings of life satisfaction and affects social behaviour in a positive manner far beyond what is normally believed."
The study took place over a ten month period by monitoring behavioural and emotional responses in participants after receiving flowers.
They found that:
• Flowers have an immediate impact on happiness
• Flowers have a long-term positive affect on moods
• Flowers make intimate connections.
It's a no brainer that flowers make us happy when we receive them. They make us feel loved, appreciated and thought about. But what was interesting to me was that participants reported feeling longer term effects which included feeling "less depressed, anxious or agitated after receiving flowers and demonstrated a higher sense of enjoyment and life satisfaction."
The study also found that people were more likely to increase their contact with family and friends once flowers were received. I guess that goes back to the fact that flowers make us feel loved, appreciated and thought about.
This is all very interesting.
But it's not quite what I was looking for.
I guess I was wondering less about the behavioural science of receiving flowers from someone else (this all sounds pretty logical to me) and more about whether there was any science based on the scents and colours of flowers that might trigger increased serotonin. You know, whether it was worth us buying our own flowers in lieu of the gifted kind.
Alas I haven't found that type of research yet (although I'm still looking). There are some flowers that have mood perk properties based on smell (eg jasmine), but they are specific to the individual flower rather than about the concept of "giving flowers" as a whole.
In the meantime there is a gazillion websites all quoting the Rutgers behavioural study. The floral industry is rejoicing and I can understand why.
It turns out there IS a science as to why flowers make us happy. It's all in the receiving ...
I know that receiving flowers makes me happy.
Do they make you happy too?
When was the last time you gave someone flowers?
1. Flowers make me happy unless they are those incredibly stinky lilliums with the polleny stems in the middle or jasmine - they do not agree with me!
2. I love flowers - whether I pick them myself from the garden or am given them. They smell lovely, look beautiful (and I think there is something in enjoying the beauty of nature inside your home that is part of why flower make us happy).
3. flowers make me so happy! Unless they are lillies and then they turn me into an awful, sinus infested beast! I love the look of fresh flowers in the home.
4. It just simply does... flowers make us happy! Ever since I was a little girl, I would pick some dandelions, roses and freesias and put them in a small vase beside my bed... and still do! Love an assortment of flowers from the garden over store-bought. :-)
5. I love having flowers in the house. I love having simple pink or red baby roses in a vase on my desk. The last time I got flowers was from hubby. Life was getting on top of me and I went off in a huff to the movies at Westfield. When I returned to the car, there was a huge bunch of flowers on my seat. After I had left the house, he had bought some flowers with the boys, drove to the Westfield carpark, looked for the car and placed them on the seat! I have a keeper :)
6. Ah that's so true - if someone gives you flowers you do feel happier because someone gave them to you. Thanks for linking to #PoCoLo
7. Ah I love flowers, especially the receiving! I don't remember when the last time was someone bought me any though. (boohoo!) Unfortunately I can't have flowers in the house during the summer because BP suffers terribly with hay fever. :(
Thanks for linking to #PoCoLo, apologies for the late comment. xx
8. Flowers always make me happy.. until the cats decide to knock the vase over!... I wonder if it's also to do with the oxygen they give us, much like a pretty plant. (no spikey flowers though - feng shui!) #pocolo
I love hearing your thoughts! Keep them rolling in :)

Laws passed to protect the most vulnerable members of ACT
Australian Capital Territory Attorney-General and Minister for Seniors Gordon Ramsay said the new laws were an Australian first making Canberra a more age-friendly and inclusive city.
“Under the new laws, both institutions and individuals who abuse or neglect vulnerable people in their care, will be committing an offence,” Minister Ramsay said.
“In addition, those in a position of authority at an institution who become aware a vulnerable person in their care is at serious risk, must take steps to protect the person from that risk. Failure to do so will be an offence.
“Research tells us that older people and people with disability experience abuse at higher rates than adults without these vulnerabilities, and that this abuse is most likely to be perpetrated by someone they know.
“This is not acceptable. Vulnerable Canberrans have the right to live safe lives, free from neglect, abuse, violence and exploitation.
“These changes will complement existing measures that are in place to protect vulnerable people in the ACT.”
A vulnerable person has been defined as an adult who has either a disability, or someone 60 or older who has a vulnerability in addition to their age. This may include illness, disability or social isolation.
A person responsible for care includes people who provide care: voluntarily; on a paid basis; or while performing a role within an institution.
The laws also introduce a new sentencing consideration for the Court to take into account when the victim of an offence is a vulnerable person.
The new laws will come into effect in April 2021.
21 August 2020.

Space Station Is Testing Utah Water Quality Method
“Now they bring water back on the space shuttle and analyze it on the ground. The problem is there is a big delay. You’d like to be able to maintain iodine or silver [disinfectant] levels in real time with an onboard monitor,” says Marc Porter, a University of Utah professor of chemistry and chemical engineering.
University of Utah chemist Lorraine Siperko (right) works on a water quality monitoring system while experiencing weightless conditions at the top of an arc-shaped flight path by a NASA C-9 research plane nicknamed the "vomit comet." Other scientists working on the project include Bob Lipert of Iowa State University (left) and John Straub of Wyle Laboratories.
The sensor detects if the drinking water contains enough iodine (used on U.S. spacecraft) or colloidal silver (used by the Russians) to kill any microbes. The International Space Station has both kinds of water purification systems. The problem for both iodine and silver is that microbes grow in the water if levels are too low. If levels are too high, iodine-treated water tastes bad and eventually might cause thyroid problems, and silver at excessive levels can turn the skin grayish blue.
Water for astronauts is carried into orbit and also produced on the space station as a byproduct of hydrogen and oxygen reacting in fuel cells. Disinfectants or biocides are added during flight, but actual levels in drinking water cannot be tested until samples are brought back to Earth. Porter says required biocide levels in drinking water are 0.1 to 1 part per million silver and 0.1 to 5 parts per million iodine.
“Our focus was to develop a small, simple, low-cost testing system that uses a handheld device, doesn’t consume materials or generate waste, takes minimal astronaut time, is safe and works in microgravity,” says Porter.
To test for iodine, the disk is impregnated with PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone), a nontoxic chemical in contact lens cleaning solutions. The PVP reacts with iodine, and the intensity of the resulting yellow color reveals the concentration of iodine in the water.
To test for silver in water, the disk is imbued with DMABR, or 5-(dimethylaminobenzylidene)rhodanine. A yellowish color indicates silver is absent, while flesh to brighter pink reveals how much silver is present.
“It is a general method,” says Lorraine Siperko, a senior research scientist in Porter’s laboratory. “It could be used on the ground for testing all kinds of water contaminants such as arsenic, chromium, cadmium, nickel and other heavy metals.”
The water-monitoring system fits in a pack the size of a small ice chest. It was launched Aug. 28 on space shuttle Discovery bound for the International Space Station.
The project is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Utah Science, Technology and Research (USTAR) economic development initiative and two universities where Porter worked previously: Arizona State and Iowa State. The project team now includes NASA, USTAR and the University of Utah, Iowa State University and Wyle Laboratories. Porter is a professor hired under the USTAR program.
During the past decade, the water quality monitoring method was developed and tested during about two dozen low-gravity flights on NASA’s “vomit comet” research aircraft such as the KC-135 and C-9, which took off from Ellington Air Force Base in Texas. During a flight, each plane makes 40 parabola-shaped arcs through the sky, climbing steeply, then leveling and diving. Weightless conditions exist for about 30 seconds at the top of each arc.
Porter rode the KC-135 twice in 2002 and 2004, and became very motion sick. Siperko rode the C-9 five times in 2006 and 2007, developing and testing the water-quality monitoring technique, including how to remove drinking water samples from collection bags without excessive bubbles, which don’t easily separate from water in weightless conditions. The handheld sensor and chemicals used in the testing process also were checked for reliability during the low-gravity plane flights.
Now, “the experiment is in space for the first time,” Siperko says. “It’s very rewarding and exciting to know that something you worked on is so important that NASA put it on the shuttle for a six-month test on the International Space Station.”
On the space station, “once per month they will check the water for iodine and silver,” Siperko says. “That data will be downloaded and relayed back to Earth, to Johnson Space Center” in Texas.

While I've never been a big fan of providing blank scrolls to artists (better to just paint on raw xuan paper, and later have it mounted as a scroll - losing a piece of paper when an error is made, is less costly than losing a whole scroll). However, customers, at times have insisted that they want blank wall scrolls. I aim to please.

Gary's random little things about China:
More traffic tidbits:
Parking your car on the sidewalk is legal in most places in China. I am talking fully on the sidewalk, and fully blocking the sidewalk, so that nobody can walk there at all. After all, there is a perfectly good roadway for pedestrians and cars to share just past the edge of the sidewalk - right?
In many urban areas, there is a sidewalk parking attendant who will ensure that you park in such a way that no one can use the sidewalk at all. They will also charge a fee of 2 Yuan (26 cents) for up to a full day of sidewalk parking privileges.
The green light means "go". The Yellow light means "20 more cars should enter the intersection". The red light means "5 more cars enter the intersection and become a nuisance to pedestrians trying to cross the street".
Actually, the green light means "Try to go, but you'll probably have to wait for the yellow or red light before you get your chance".
If you get in a car accident, it's best to argue briefly with the other driver, and then both drive away. When the police get involved, everyone gets fined, and someone might lose their license. The fines are generally higher than what it will cost to fix your car, so hanging around to exchange insurance information is rare in minor fender-benders.
If your car is too damaged to drive away, you are screwed. The police own and operate all of the tow trucks in most Chinese cities. You will be fined, charged for towing, charged an impound fee, and may lose your license.
On long stretches of highway, police checkpoints are occasionally set up. They may be stopping drivers and summarily fining them for wearing sunglasses or talking on a mobile phone while driving. However, in the next stretch of highway, another police checkpoint may be issuing fines for driving without sunglasses.
Under certain circumstances, and if you are really unlucky, drivers who get in injury accidents while drunk may be executed. If you are caught drinking and driving just once, you will be fined, and will probably lose your drivers license for the rest of your life.
Thus, drunk driving has become very rare in China.

“Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” (v. 50)
Psalm: Psalm 22:22-31
In this short but very significant passage Jesus goes about the work to which he is called.
If the timeline is correct he has just gone through a very stressful encounter with the Pharisees and shared some very hard words with them and then we read: "While he was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers were standing outside, wanting to speak to him" (v. 46). We know very little of his family, but it seems clear from these words that they had kept in touch and were concerned about him. They had, no doubt, heard about the way he was turning the Scribes and Pharisees against him with his teaching, as well as how crowds were flocking to hear what he had to say.
Perhaps his mother and brothers were trying to suggest that he take a break and go home with them, maybe they wanted to hear Jesus for themselves, or even to tell him to tone it down a bit because they are afraid of what will happen to him. They send a message to him to say that they are here. But rather than smile and make excuses to the crowd whilst he greets them his response is "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" And pointing to his disciples he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers,! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother" (vv. 49-50).
We can probably imagine their response when they are given this message. How rejected and even angry they must have felt - What could he mean? "What was it about this child I bore," Mary might have thought. "What is it about?" his young brother may have wondered. "That he has rejected them all for a bunch of fishermen and a crowd of seemingly hungry helpless souls." The Gospel does not spell out any such reaction just leaves the statement standing, and yet those words of Jesus have a profound message for those who sought to follow him then, and those who still seek to follow him today.
Where was their priority to lie? We know that Simon Peter at least had been or was married as we hear about his mother-in-law (Luke 4:38-39). No doubt the others had family responsibilities, but Jesus expected them to leave everything to follow the way he was leading them, just as he had been expected to leave his family and the responsibilities of being an eldest son behind to do the will of God. Here is a challenge to his family waiting outside, a challenge to the disciples seeking to answer his call, and a challenge to us as we seek to be disciples today.
To Ponder
• Who do you make the priority in your live when it comes to your faith in Jesus?
• How do we balance the needs of the world in our day-to-day living, with our faith in a Saviour who calls us leave everything behind to follow him?

The largest is photo voltaic panels only get the job done when dealing with the Solar, as opposed to radiators, which do the job very best when not facing the sun. The distinction concerning the two is significant, since it is almost generally attainable to seek out an orientation which retains the radiator edge-on for the enemy and nonetheless running successfully, even though a photo voltaic panel should be pointed in an individual way, perhaps exposing it to hostile fireplace.

Des Moines house fire kills woman
Fire inspectors are trying to determine how a residential fire that started in the kitchen of a Steldahl home killed a woman in the second floor bedroom of her home. When emergency personnel arrived at the house, smoke alarms were sounding and there was a blaze downstairs, but the only person in the house was unable to escape. Fire fighters were able to extinguish the flames quickly and damage is estimated at around $60,000. It is unknown why the victim wasn’t able to flee from the burning building.

Amid violence, Brazil presidential candidates call for calm
The two presidential candidates who will square off in Brazil's runoff this month are calling for an end to politically motivated violence— an issue emerging as a central theme of the elections.
Numerous cases of violence were reported in the week before the first round of voting on Oct. 7 and have been ongoing since then. The second round of voting is scheduled Oct. 28.
The race has exposed deep divisions in Latin America's largest nation, with the two candidates representing opposing visions for the future.
On the right is front-runner Jair Bolsonaro, a former army captain who speaks approvingly of the country's 1964-1985 dictatorship and has promised a violent crackdown on drug gangs and other criminals. On the left is Fernando Haddad, a former Sao Paulo mayor who promises to return the country to leftist policies of his Workers' Party, which governed between 2003 and 2016.
In a tweet late Wednesday, Bolsonaro said he didn't want the vote "of anybody who practices violence against those who didn't vote for me."
His statement came after days of criticism from Workers' Party supporters who said Bolsonaro was turning a blind eye to attacks by his followers.
"This escalation of violence has to stop," Haddad tweeted Wednesday night.
Publica, a nonprofit investigative journalism organization, found 50 incidents of attacks by Bolsonaro supporters compared to six against them since the beginning of October through Wednesday. The attacks, verified by police reports, happened all over the country and included beatings, stabbings, death threats and even homicide, according to the group.
One of the most extreme cases was in the northeastern city of Salvador, where a capoeira teacher and supporter of the left-leaning Workers' Party was stabbed to death during a discussion with a supporter of Bolsonaro. Police say the attacker was arrested and confessed the killing was politically motivated.

Bank robbery suspect arrested
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) -- Wilmington Police arrested a man early Saturday morning for a Friday afternoon bank robbery. Detectives had gotten a warrant Friday for 26-year-old Brenden Paul Kolterjahn, 26, in connection with the armed robbery of the TD Bank at 802 S. College Road.
Officers developed information Friday evening that Kolterjahn was at the Travelodge at 4118 Market Street. WPD
units converged on the scene and made contact with Kolterjahn. He surrendered without incident around 2 a.m.
The arrest came a little more than 12 hours after the bank robbery. Police say the suspect had a note threatening bank tellers with a gun, but he never showed a weapon. Employees handed over cash and the robber left.
Kolterjahn was booked into the New Hanover County Jail under $25,000 secured bond. According to Department of Corrections records, Kolterjahn is on five years probation for a May 2009 conviction in Onslow County on a series of crimes, including breaking & entering, forgery and obtaining property by false pretense.
A real upstanding member of society... Really, though, $25,000.00 bond? Couldn't we have done better than that? Can anyone tell me how long they think he'll be in prison before being let out to terrorize the world again? I'm curious.
I'm just thankful that no one was hurt. It all ended peacefully and he is now behind bars where he should be. The bank employees and the police were all able to go home to their families. It could have ended in so many other ways.
He is kinda cute:)
He is kinda cute:)
You likely thought the same of Berger...
...they do have a resemblance in stature...and character...
The guys think so too.
I Rest My Case
You see guys this is how a robbery situation should be handled. Professionals in an organized fashion captured the suspect within hours. Nobody gets hurt, no idiot goes for a gun on either side, nobody fires off rounds in a store where others could be injured and as common says "The Good Guys Win" and the dirt bag is off the street. Civilized behavior! End of story.
Maybe you shouldn't rest your case just yet....
Two thugs enter a small mom and pop store, they kill the owner as well as the one customer inside as they rob it. Good guys loose.
Any further questions stupid? Liberal sheep!!!
"Civilized behavior." Something tells me that ol' Mikey....
...has led a very gentle, Winnie-the-Pooh-Wonderful, pastel colored life. He's expecting people to show civilized behavior toward uncivilized animals who would just as soon kill you as look at you.
He obviously never had to fight for his own life or ran into someone who will beat you unconscious simply because they're bored.
Cooperate and you often get killed anyway
This worthless bag of fecal matter will now be coddled and the taxpayers will spend hundreds of thousands feeding, clothing, and housing him. The good guys didn't win, the good guys got suckered by a corrections system that has totally collapsed.
BTW, while I could easily come up with several dozen cases where "cooperative victims" were killed, I'll leave you with just one, from last June 20th. You may remember it:
"Laffer allegedly walked into Haven Drugs in Medford a little after 10 a.m. on Sunday morning. He shot all four victims execution style and stole a backpack full of prescription painkillers."
"Investigators believe Laffer began shooting when he suspected pharmacist Raymond Ferguson saw through his disguise and recognized him."
Let me know if you need any more evidence that your "die on your knees" philosophy is flawed.
Another piece of trash off the street. Too bad he didn't reach for a weapon, justice could have been served quickly.
I really can't believe how ignorant you are for your words. You don't know this guy, you don't know his story and you wish him death? Wake up and get a life. Does anyone on here judging him know him? While what he did was wrong and he knows it you should never judge someone until you experience a day in their life.
Looking for ignorant? Check your mirror
You are correct in the fact I don't know him, I don't want to know him nor do I want to be around him. He is a criminal that committed armed robbery. Why should I foul up my life so I can "experience a day in their life?" Life is all about choices and either the rewards or repercussions of those same choices. He chose to rob a bank. His choices will now be much limited due to being locked up.
No one needs to experience a day in anyones life to judge. Do I need to go back in time and live in Hitlers shoes? Don't be a boob. People are judged based on their actions. Your buddy comes up short. I have no issues with hanging him from a large oak tree. Next time he may kill someone. To hell with him and you. Very little room left on this planet for the scum.
What would have happened had he drawn a gun? An officer could have been shot. You are an idiot.
some ppl have no life
Long time gone
Where have you been over the last few years Scally Wagg?
You are the idiot, Guest for the day
No, the thief would have been shot dead. Then the taxpayers wouldn't have to support him while he is in jail. You can't really be that slow, can you?
haha you're right. it would
haha you're right. it would have had a better ending that way!
i know this individual and
i know this individual and just goes to show he should have kept up his program and he wouldn't have ever been in a situation like this that he put himself in! maybe this time he will get it and straighten his life up.
These comments are ridiculous! You know nothing about this boy and his desperation! My sister has been dating this kid for about a year now and he has gone through some terrible stuff! He acted out of desperation and saying he should have been killed is something terrible to post online. I love him and wish him the best!
another addict hit ROCK bottom
Let me star off by saying his girlfriend doesnt even have a sister u wanna check look at his Facebook page you will see whats real so lets stop pretending. But thats beside the point. This is to all yall judgemental people that are so quick to judge. Brenden did not deserve to die he didnt even have a gun but he did have a drug problem. I have known Brenden for a while and know that if he hadbeen sober and in his right.mind he would not have done this. Let me just end this by saying I hope and pray that when the addict in all yall judgemental people s life acts out by doing something so out of character that u have people that wl support you and just not sit back and judge.
Well, now he'll go off to rehab
A few years at Raleigh Central should let him get straight.
Buddy, I lost a beautiful friend to drug addiction. She loved her crack more than life itself. Until they bottom out, they don't WANT your understanding and help. Until they turn around and realize that they have cut loose every single person in the world who ever cared about them and they are totally alone, nothing matters to them except the endless thirst for their drug of choice.
The WORST thing you can do is to continue supporting them and reassuring them that you'll always be there, regardless of their conduct.
First of all, he is not a kid. He is 26 - he should act like a grown up. There are many that had bad lives when they were growing up (Michal Jordan) comes to mind, but he didn't go out and rob in desperation.
There are many supporting families on less a year than his bond - they don't go out robbing. So stop excusing him. He screwed up big time and he will have to pay for it. He could have lost his life if someone would have had a gun and decided to shoot him. He didn't so be glad of it. And as for your sister,, she may be glad he is not in her life now. What if he had involved her and she got hurt. You would be screaming for justice.
Why is your sister dating scum?
Who CARES about his oh-so-difficult life? It's likely his fault anyway, because his conduct proves that he's incapable of making sensible life choices.
He is a LOSER, and the fact that your sister and you can't recognize that doesn't speak well for your choices, either!
26 is NOT a kid. He is a low life criminal, you get what you deserve.
So, what would you think if he had involved your sister in this and she was hurt or killed!!! I struggle every month to try and make ends meet. I have a 13 y/o son and my wife and I each have 2 jobs. We don't rob, steal, assault, or kill people. We may complain a little. But what we do on a daily basis is worked hard and pay our bills. You cannot tell me this could could not get a job and work. Sometimes pride has to be out aside and flip some burgers if you have to. There are no excuses what so ever to use desparation for an excuse to break the law.

Kiev strips Saakashvili of Ukrainian citizenship
Saakashvili eats his tie after being told of losses by Gruzian army against Russia
Famous necktie-nibbler Mikheil Saakashvil is no longer a Ukrainian citizen. The reason? Allegedly Poroshenko didn’t know until just now that Saakashvili was (and still is) a wanted man in his native land of Georgia.
A minor bureaucratic oversight:
Ukraine’s president has rescinded the citizenship of Mikheil Saakashvili, the former president of Georgia who moved to Ukraine to become leader of one of its most corruption-plagued regions and later resigned.
Ukraine’s migration service announced the move by President Petro Poroshenko on Wednesday, saying it came after Ukraine received unspecified documents from Georgia. Saakashvili was stripped of his Georgian citizenship in 2015 after being appointed as governor of Ukraine’s Odessa region, but the country seeks his extradition to face charges connected with the violent dispersal of protests during his presidency and a raid on a private television station.
And where is Mike, now? Probably holed up in his uncle’s apartment in Hipsterville, New York.
Now without any citizenship of any kind, Saakashvili is desperately searching for a new color revolution. Contact him via WhatsApp if you have any promising leads. Jess Baily, are you reading? Zaev can use a guy like this as his advisor.

Authority of Passion
Have you ever been in a love relationship with a person that treats you well, seems to get everything about you, and finishes your sentences but realized that you’re not “in love” with him/her? Everyone questions your reasoning in this scenario. How could you leave such an awesome guy? He’s so great! If you don’t want him, I’ll take him! Since no one seems to understand, you begin to question your own thought process and determine that something is wrong with you so you stick it out. The question is do you go all the way, putting your greatest effort in or do you muddle through?
The relationship that you have with your work, is very similar. Being happy in the workplace takes more than just having perks, the “right” culture, perfect working hours, and a great boss. As a matter of fact, none of those things will matter without passion. Think of a love life filled with flowers, candy, romantic cards, and Tiffany bracelets but no passion; some people will derive temporary satisfaction from the trinkets while others would be mired down by the lack of fulfillment. For my male readers, think of a $100 meal at an upscale restaurant with beautiful presentation but airline portions. A bowl of cereal would be more satisfying. Your career is the meal and you should leave the table everyday with a full belly, having gorged because you just couldn’t seem to get enough.
After writing my last article, I reviewed the many conversations that I have had with individuals who have expressed job dissatisfaction: the barista at the high end coffee shop, the new graduate interning, experienced professionals with industry tenure and realized that all of their unhappiness boiled down to the feeling of emptiness. It may sound like a hippy moment, all of this feeling and necessity to connect but it’s the truth. We all have missions and drivers and when we work outside of them it’s tougher to identify the purpose and remain productive. This could be in regard to your place of employment, career choice, or professional path.
In the “good ole days” people went to work, produced and went home. Work was merely a means of survival and support for most people and that tradition was often passed down through generations. Everyone punched a time clock (they still exist, I know) and reported for duty to their respective departments. Expectations of overwhelming joy or fulfillment were not the prevailing thought of the day. It was about getting the job done for the perceived greater good and if you were lucky, receiving a gold watch and pat on the back (but at least there were corporate pension plans at most levels).
As time moved on specific cultural changes impacted that vision. Increased industrialization transitioned the balance of the workforce from manual based positions and higher education became more accessible, changing the dreamscape. Enter a re-imagining of the work world and in marched the hippies, the yuppies, the wall street fund managers, and ultimately the Silicon Valley innovators with their brand new idea of culture and passion fulfillment. The passion of others continue to directly impact the corporate visions of today. Nick Swinmurn’s idea combined with Tony Hsieh’s leadership, innovation and passion led to the success of Zappos, a company that hires based on commitment, ideas and the energy that an employee can bring to the business at all levels (from customer service to the C-suite).
Yes, things have changed and those same things have crafted the rose colored expectations of today’s professionals, Gen-X and younger–self included. The bulk of the current workforce and those that will run the show over the next 30 years is composed of people who are taught to use education as a way to fulfill a dream and reach the highest level of potential, yet they are viewed as “job hoppers, ungrateful or even irresponsible” for seeking their passions rather than waiting on the gold watch (which I could factually argue no longer exists). This leads to the personal feelings of disappointment that so many professionals feel but can’t identify. My feelings?
There is no authority greater than passion. NONE. While you attempt to avoid the nagging feeling that you should be doing something else, it will hang in the background waiting for the exact moment to tap you on the shoulder. I picture unfulfilled passion as the “mayhem” character from the Allstate commercial, he’s patiently waiting for you to let your guard down . The more you attempt to avoid the understanding that you “should be doing something else”, the more pronounced the thought will become. Passion is an authoritative dictator. It will determine your level of success or failure, impact how people perceive you, and most importantly, Passion will dictate your level of success or failure.. Passion becomes the embodiment of your professional happiness. And it can do all of this without you realizing it!
How do you pay passion the respect it’s due?
1) Re-evaluate your career often. Taking stock of your career options and opportunities is a required personal responsibility. When looking at your current position it’s important to understand how it plays into your future plans or goal. Reviewing the job you’re in doesn’t make you a disloyal employee it’s make you a competent professional and can actually enhance your performance in your current role. Failing to analyze your career can lead to missteps and prolonged dissatisfaction.
2) Know the difference between contentment and fulfillment (satisfied/peaceful vs. realized (accomplished). Part of my mission is to have moments of contentment but periods of fulfillment. I can be content with a signed contract, a new prospect or a daily “win” but I refuse to rest on my laurels or languish in the moment. Instead I suggest consistently seeking new paths to travel and challenges to overcome, which will help you determine if you are in the right role/environment or need to make changes.
3) Understand your brand/who you are. This step requires a unique level of honesty that will be tough but totally self preserving in the end. Be willing to assess where you fit, what you need to change to fit elsewhere, what your strengths are and what you are capable of in the moment. Do this early and often, as they say, and you won’t have to “prepare” an elevator pitch, you’ll always have one handy. Be careful with this step: Self awareness is the best marketing tool but it shouldn’t be the reason that you talk yourself out of following your passion. It will help you determine what tools you have to get there and what others you’ll need to develop to start or get further.
4) Be comfortable taking risks. The things that people typically consider their passion is also the thing that they perceive as most risky: starting a business, quitting their job to travel, writing a book, etc. The more time you have put into #3, the easier it will become to embrace chance. Most of us operate in the comfort zone without realizing that not taking a risk is risky in itself. Having prepared yourself will mitigate some of the potential impact and create the self-assured mindset necessary to “jump out there”.
These are just four steps to begin the recognition and pursuit of passion, I’m sure that many spiritualists, gurus and writers have other ideas and I wouldn’t say their wrong but I’ll sum it up with someone who has demonstrated an ability to pursue her mission and redefine herself consistently: Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.Oprah Winfrey

Elton John: Hammersmith Odeon, London
Chris Welch, Melody Maker, 4 January 1975
MAYBE IT WAS the pre-Christmas spirit or the entire packet of chocolate I had just consumed, but a lump rase in my throat during the multitude of cheers that greeted Elton John, when he came to the Odeon Hammersmith, London.

How to improve quality of life for women?
How to improve quality of life for women?
Ensure that children receive appropriate financial support by enforcing child support laws, among other things. Enforce laws on minimum age of consent and marriage. Eliminate female genital mutilation. Provide adolescents not only with information and services, but also education and life choices.
How does women’s education affect the quality of life?
Of the 960 million illiterate adults in the world, two thirds are female. Higher levels of women’s education are strongly associated with both lower infant mortality and lower fertility In poor countries, every additional year of a woman’s schooling is associated with a 5 to 10% decline in child deaths. 1
How does gender equality affect quality of life?
Laws and customs often deny women the right to own land, inherit property establish credit, receive training or move up in their field of work. Laws against domestic violence are often not enforced on behalf of women. Achieving gender equality in these areas will require the support of men who exercise most of the power in these spheres of life.
Why are women important in the developing world?
Women in developing nations are usually in charge of securing water, food and fuel and of overseeing family health and diet. Therefore they tend to put into immediate practice whatever they learn about nutrition, preserving the environment and natural resources, and improving sanitation and health care.
How to be sure to live the Good Life?
Take the time to define your values, priorities, and goals for life. Work to fulfill the desires you want to achieve. Build your relationships and be a good family member and friend. Serve your community and mankind and stay true to yourself. Make a list of what people or things matter to you.
What makes a standard level of quality of life?
It is an expected standard level that consists of the expectations of an individual or society for a good life. These expectations are guided by the values, goals and socio-cultural context in which an individual lives.
Is it possible to improve the quality of Your Life?
People with access to money and resources can most certainly improve many areas of their lives. But it’s also been proven in studies that those same people aren’t statistically that much happier. An increase in income only equates to a temporary improvement of happiness. Eventually, happiness levels baseline again.
How is productivity related to quality of life?
Research has attempted to examine the relationship between quality of life and productivity. There are many different methods of measuring quality of life in terms of health care, wealth and materialistic goods. However, it is much more difficult to measure meaningful expression of one’s desires.

What academic fields contribute most to economic growth?
I imagine that subsidies bias students skew incentives towards fields that don't generate as much economic growth - and despite its issues, an interesting study (Economiclogic via Adamsmith):
Cristiano Antonelli and Claudio Fassio decided to open this Pandora box and concentrate on one impact: economic growth. They perform a cross-country study and take the number of graduates in each field as an indicator of academic output, and see where that leads us in terms of economic achievement. They make the distinction between engineering, hard, social, medical sciences, and humanities in a 11-year panel of 16 OECD countries. The horse race ends with two clear winners, engineering and social sciences, and two big losers, medical sciences and humanities, the latter having a significant negative contribution to growth.
That said, should we believe those results? Beyond the obvious issue with panel cross-country regressions, the problem is that we are still comparing apples to oranges. In some countries, medical studies are at the graduate level only, while it is undergraduate elsewhere. There are also stark difference for Economics as well. In the US, many students graduate in that field and have actually only two years of classes in this major, having to take general education classes first for two years. In Europe, Economics students spend their whole four years on the topic. And the same applies to other fields. Thus counting students, and especially if you want to make the claim they are specialized in a particular field, is rather heroic. I would not yet claim social sciences have won this battle.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
I´m sending an email with the Mail Plugin for Grails of a GSP. In this GSP I have added images using ...
src="${resource(dir:'img', file:'line.jpg')}"
... for example but when I get the email the links seems like they are broken. I think it´s beacause the resources from the Grails project aren´t attached to the mail when this one is created.
Could it be anything else? What can I do to attach the resources files to the email with the plugin or any other way?

Looks like Grails' mail plugin has recently added a way to inline images in 1.0 version.
inline() method must work - let me guess how the syntax should look:
mailService.sendMail {
to m.email
subject m.emailSubject
body m.emailBody
inline 'mylogo', new File(path)
where mylogo is resource id that should be referred in m.emailBody like: <img src="mylogo" />
There was a historical way on maillist, but hopefully now you don't need to hack a plugin.

¿which function does the absolute attribute? – axierjhtjz Aug 3 '11 at 9:00
The question is about attaching images in mail plugin. – Victor Sergienko Aug 3 '11 at 9:44
This is actually a good answer - with absolute paths you can load the images from your domain, and don't need to attach them to the mail. This has advantages (smaller email) and disadvantages (slower image loadtime and dependence on your webserver) depending on your usecase – Pete Jan 31 '12 at 20:55

I expected Switch down WoW and Animal Crossing to be flat. I was so wrong. WTF Animal Crossing!?! Games are not supposed to sell like this. Who knows what it's numbers look like when digital is added in? RFA is actually down WoW, but I'm betting there are shortages of physical games there. Most other Switch games in the top 10 are up WoW. Paper Mario has a decent hold.
PS4 sales are over. The Japanese are treating Switch as the successor to the PS4.
Ninjala...I think is a free to play game, so not sure why there are physical copies being sold.

Bad fat could decline memory
Washington: Certain types of fat are linked with deteriorating memory and mental functioning, says a new study.
For instance, a `bad` fat such as saturated fat or trans fat, known to be damaging to cardiac health, was also linked to worse overall cognitive function and memory in women over time.
Conversely, a `good` fat or mono-unsaturated fat was lined with better overall cognitive function and memory, the journal Annals of Neurology reported.
The research team from Brigham and Women`s Hospital (BWH), analyzed data from the Women`s Health Study-comprising nearly 40,000 women, 45 years and older. They focused on data from a subset of 6,000 women, aged over 65 years.
Women who consumed the highest amounts of saturated fat, which can come from red meat and butter, compared to those who consumed the lowest amounts, had worse overall cognition and memory over the four years of testing.
Women who ate the most of the mono-unsaturated fats, found in olive oil, had better patterns of cognitive scores over time, said a university statement.
"Substituting in the good fat in place of the bad fat is a fairly simple dietary modification that could help prevent decline in memory," added Okereke.

Picture of easy plastic rivets
Here's a really simple way that you can do some plastic welding with weed eater trimmer string and a soldering iron
Step 1: Materials
Picture of materials
weed eater trimmer string
soldering iron
two plastic or lightweight materials to join together
be sure to do this outdoors as the fumes are peculiar and probably not good for you.
zume3 years ago
would this be possible with plastic barrels, welding them end to end?
foobear (author) zume3 years ago
I think you would need a stronger plastic to rivet with in that case... Not sure, let us know how it turns out
O.K I'm just going to publically announce, that I don't know what a rivet is. There, I did it. Please be gentle with any response. I also don't understand what the finished product is and how it works. Remember, there is a "be nice" rule people pulleassssse
foobear (author) porcupinemamma4 years ago
Oh yeah, I guess it's not very clear. That thing I was working on was an instructable that didn't work out. So I never did publish that or explain what it was. The general point of this instructable though was the discovery that I could make plastic rivets out of weed whacker wire. Rivets are just something that can hold two things together. Usually they are made of thin metal pipe.
Ahhhhhhh I get it. Tx 4 for explaining :0)
good idea

Even when you feel totally calm and relaxed during the yoga class, you might experience all of those feelings vanished once you sit into your car and start driving.
How can you cope with that?
Practice Yoga while driving.
Sounds dangerous, right? So keep reading :)
It’s a well-known fact that many people practice yoga to reduce stress. True, it’s one of the most relaxing and de-stressing activities. The stress-relief effects of yoga are proven by various studies.
For instance, a study called ‘The Effect of Yoga on Stress, Anxiety, and Depression in Women shows that only 12 sessions of regular hatha yoga practice are enough to significantly decrease depression, stress, and anxiety in women.
Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it?
However, often all the positive effects of yoga practice wear off almost immediately once you find yourself stuck in traffic. It’s hard to remain calm and mindful when all the drivers around you seem to do everything just to annoy you.
Furthermore, such stress isn’t merely displeasing — it could be dangerous as well. Brake and Direct Line published a survey that states that 71% of UK drivers had lost concentration at the wheel due to annoyance and stress.
Therefore, it’s crucial to learn how to stay calm while driving for your own sake.
How can you do that? With the help of mental yoga of driving.
How Does Mental Yoga Help With Stress When You are a Driver?
Most people react to stress in the same way: they tense, they start breathing shallowly, and they cannot focus on anything besides the cause of their stress.
Yoga teaches us to approach our emotions in a calm and mindful way, to relax both our mind and body, and to find a way to think clearer, no matter how stressful a situation might be.
That’s why it’s always a good idea to practice yoga while driving.
Here are 8 ways to use yoga to reduce stress and anxiety caused by driving:
1. Take a breath
Proper breathing is a foundation of yoga and a way to stay calm even when it’s nearly impossible. Therefore, if you need to start with something, start with it.
When you are stressed or angry, or anxious, your breathing most likely isn’t calm at all. Calming it down can instantly help you focus. You can start with simple slow breathing or try one of the breathing techniques.
2. Pay attention to your jaw
If you are frustrated by traffic and other drivers, there’s a big chance you’re clenching your jaw. Try to soften it, to open your mouth slightly to create some space between jaws. This will help you relax and also will be good for your teeth.
3. Notice the way you grip the steering wheel
Relaxed while driving through mental yoga
The same goes for your grip — there’s a chance you’re holding the wheel tighter than needed. In this case, soften the muscles and joints in your hands, relaxing your grip a bit.
4. Eliminate all distractions
It’s easy to be annoyed and stressed when you allow yourself to pay attention to every frustrating detail (and to the ones that don’t seem frustrating at first glance). How can you minimize distractions? For instance, by making a driving playlist in advance or by putting away your phone and turning the sound off.
These small tasks might seem insignificant; however, they might have a huge impact on your driving. After all, we often don’t notice how much these distractions affect our mood until they’re gone.
5. Set an intention
If you followed the fourth tip, then you probably have fewer distractions around you. However, even in this case people often struggle with the thing they cannot change that easily — their mind.
What to do when you keep getting annoyed with so many things during driving?
Try to set an intention to stay calm and peaceful, and to focus only on the driving process, not on your negative thoughts. This doesn’t come easily, but practice changes that.
6. Remind yourself about this intention
slowly breathe out to relax while driving
Maybe you’re doing your best but still cannot get enough relaxation. That’s okay, as long as you keep breathing and reminding yourself that getting annoyed won’t change the situation you’re in.
Just breathe and try to stay calm and focused on the intention. If you do this long enough, the tension will go away.
7. Practice seated Cat-Cow yoga to reduce stress
Yes, it is possible, but only while you sitting in traffic, not during driving. Keep your hands on the wheel, take a deep breath and bend your back slightly, while rolling the shoulders back slowly. Exhale and allow the shoulders to hunch forward.
This small exercise could instantly improve your mood and help your back at the same time.
8. Be compassionate
guy waving out of the car window passionately
Last but not least, consider practicing compassion to fellow drivers. True, this might be incredibly hard, but those who practice yoga to reduce mental stress know how important it is to treat all beings with compassion and love.
Changing the attitude towards fellow drivers is probably even harder than setting the intention to remain calm. You need to be understanding even when you want to scream in frustration.
However, if you decide to be kind to the people around you, they might treat you with the same kindness.
Stress and yoga rarely go hand-by-hand if you are mindful and committed to sticking to yoga principles. Obviously, this might be hard sometimes, especially if you are a beginner yogi or when the surroundings are too stressful. However, the best way to cope with stress under such circumstances is to stick to yoga tricks and practices to maintain inner calm.
Do you practice mental yoga in daily life to reduce stress? If you do, please share your own tips and tricks in the comments below.

Conservative Propagandist Arrested for Illegal Wiretap
This is Nixon Era politics in 2010.
Justice for ACORN
I do ever so love being vindicated!
I Believe Glenn Beck is Dangerous for America
MediaMatters.orgBeck, O’Reilly respond to Misinformer of the Year
This all bounces around in circles, just as Glenn Beck had hoped it would. He is supporting unconstitutional rhetoric and calling the people calling him out on it as doing the same. He is hiding behind a shroud of lies and then claiming that the scorn that befalls him is an attempt to silence truth. It seems the new right-wing meme to just accuse the other guy of exactly what you are doing so they have trouble calling you out on the ugly that you just spread all over the table.
Liars of this magnitude are not just merely irritating, as some have suggested to me, they are dangerous when given a platform of supposed credibility. Beck spends much of his time smearing progressives and Obama; but by the same tools he uses to falsely blame progressives / liberals are all of societies woes I could turn about and say that conservatives are the core of what is diseased and sick with the country. The same vile venom could be reversed to make the “enemy” the other side. There is no discourse to be had and that is exactly the goal from the beginning for this latest vein of populist-conservative banter. Glenn Beck will lie at any cost and continue to destroy democracy with his fear-mongering theories until people like you and me stand up and will say we have had enough of this vile anti-American propaganda. Partisan bullies like Bill O’Reilly and the rest of the corporate tools will always jump to defend the likes of these mindless hateful notions touted by Glenn Beck. The disgusting angle on both of these men is they claim to be “bipartisan” but they constantly attempt to demean and fabricate facts about liberals but never use the same dirty tactics against conservatives. Glenn Beck is the most unpatriotic broadcaster in U.S. History, and the fact that he remains on the air proves that racism and hate-speech sells better than Americanism and education. Perhaps Rodger Ailes made a simple business decision: that selling fear-mongering and race baiting was more important than representing American values.
After watching this video one could conclude, as Bill O’Reilly wants everyone to, that all voices against Glenn Beck have been those of the political left. But this is in fact not true. The Anti Defamation League is not a political-left group and they have gone out of their way to illustrate how dangerous and hateful this man’s chosen rhetoric is. What these people engage in just simply a labeling-game of a highly partisan nature of any ideological group that disagrees with their positions. Their own policy positions and tactile logic being so lacking they resort to defining the opposition instead of sharing their own perspective weighed against another extreme position. That is the definition of “fair & balanced” or “bipartisanship” … both sides of the political spectrum; not just one side amplified to an unrealistic height.
Everyone has to be a “far left radical” or a red baiting term like “socialist” or “Marxist” because if they are not then people might realize that being a patriotic American means respecting the difference of opinion rather than allowing yourself to be so broken and dishonest a person to believe or spread unsubstantiated slurs about liberals / progressives / Democrats instead of your own differing policy ideas and world view. It is Glenn Beck leading the charge, with the other pundits of Fox and the Tea Party riding behind him, to destroy the political debate and corrupt the political dialect in this country as much as possible. This man toys with racism, McCarthyism, political bigotry and fear-mongering about the government like they were all harmless tools when they deadly weapons that will destroy our democracy if left to spread like a virus throughout the country. To put it another way: Beck seeks to destroy the middle and push everyone into hateful opposing camps instead of negotiating parties. I have for many weeks been mulling over exactly what could be said that is truly “bipartisan” about Glenn Beck and all his noise. That is what I come up with, just that alone. He seeks to destroy the middle and aggravate existing social tensions for profiteering motives at the expense of our very system of democracy were his notions and supposedly genuine “fears” followed through to their logical conclusion. Glenn Beck paints an America that is dark and filled with myths that become reasons to hate the world.
However, all is not lost. I suggested we “Hit Glenn Beck Where It Hurts,” in the advertisers. And to some extent we were successful: a reported total of 20 sponsors dropped Glenn Beck after his racialist statement about a U.S. President was not apologized for nor retracted formally by the network at the reported request via multiple letters to Rodger Ailes.
Many people saw the truth: that this was not about political opinions anymore and that Beck had purposefully been race baiting when he called Obama a “racist.” The case that defines Glenn Beck is a case that they will never air or likely ever speak out on any version of Fox News. That being the most “extremist” internet-attack against Beck, that in fact illustrates quite well what his common tactic is when creating his fantastic tales of fiction. Minus the shock-value, the point is more on a legal aspect as to where his true allegiances lie. Beck went outside the United States, and sought European-brands of justice to serve him when he became aware of this “rumor” about him and wanted them squashed. He could have sought to U.S. Constitution that he claims to love so dearly to help defend him in what he saw as a violation of his rights, but instead he opted to try and simply destroy the opposing voice with a foreign court. It did not stop there, from there Beck has used his big-money influences to try and push this website promoting this “rumor” as “satirical comedy” off the bandwidth with dirty corporate tactics; the very same tactics he claims to despise so much. The website remains, and freedom of speech is protected despite Beck’s attempt to destroy it. I re-posted that website content onto my blog in the spirit of “rodeo clowning” that Glenn Beck is so found of himself. I refuse to take it down even if I don’t completely enjoying having it up.
Glenn Beck is smarter than he wants his audience to know. A trend popular with women working at Fox, but Beck has taken it up for himself and it seems to work rather well for him. He saw out over the horizon the same unwarranted fears and same old social tensions coming to rise in this country that I did nearly two years ago now. I mused that the time that I could go out into the lands as the healing suave, to bring some truth to matter and some real policy differences that people could see rather than hollow boiler-plate talking points. But what he decided to do was to pour gasoline on the fears and start putting Hitler-mustaches on anyone not giving to these ever-present right-wing propagandists that he frequently has as guests on his television and radio programs. He and I are not so different, in that that he is an embodiment of someone like myself in my “extremes of opinions” except minus all morality, patriotism and ethical standards. It’s all very clever word-plays and out-of-context quotes and rewriting of U.S. History; but it’s not impressive because I could have done it too. Lying is easy, but the question is: Is it worth it? In the end his soul will have to answer for the racism and many, many lies he has told. The money he makes while treating his audience like they are severely lacking intelligence (many unfortunately are) will buy him his ticket to the country club with Limbaugh and O’Reilly and the rest, but the currency of his character is forever darkened by the path he has chosen for himself.
Repost: Loyal Opposition No More
A loyal opposition to the opposition, if you will.
LiberalViewer, October 27th 2009
LiberalViewer on YouTube has touched what I feel is a very important issue facing us today in the U.S.
LIBERALVIEWER: Do you agree that the bias at Fox News is quantitatively and qualitatively different from any bias at the other major media outlets?
It’s absolutely different, in every way. The truth of it all, as I see it, is that Fox News just took the model of far right-wing radio and applied it to television broadcasting.
LIBERALVIEWER: Do you think the evidence of political organizing cited by Rachel Maddow is the best evidence Fox News is different or are the combative interview style applied only to one side, the parroting of Republican talking points, and the pattern of partisan distortion of the facts I showed better evidence that Fox News is different?
I feel that if 14 members of the GOP truly did write Rodger Ailes hand-written letters about having Glenn Beck retract his comments about race in regards to President Obama and this was ignored for ideological or perhaps commercial interests in place of the common good of the nation by Fox CEO Rodger Ailes himself then that is the best evidence out there. But if that’s a bogus news-story then your analysis without a doubt trumps that of any found on the major networks.
I thought about it and I’m completely against this “boycott Fox” nonsense. I want them to highly reform their television-side and don’t give a hoot about the radio-waves.
If they would just have some level of integrity in the television broadcasting they produce my qualms with them would cease.
I like the “old days” as I call them when Alan Colmes was actually on TV dispelling some of the nonsense. Now he is only really on the radio.
I find it interesting that they uninterested in reviving just the concept of the “CON vs. LIB” television show in a prime-time slot. Little by little all my ability to defend what they are doing as “news” just fades away. I see it as a situation where they are just very big, they have a partial media-monopoly, so they have plenty of room to hire everyone in the world.
I view all radio as morning-zoo, madhouse, boiler-plate, funhouse ride antics. Something happens though with the make-up and the lights and the cameras of television, or at least I think that is what is really going on ‘behind the curtains’ of this issue.
Fox News is more or less playing the role of a criminal while MSNBC operates as a cop.
I would describe the whole situation as: ridiculous.
FOX is just the biggest offender of the smears.
I Am The Stone That The Builder Refused
I am the stone that the builder refused,
I am the visual,
The inspiration that made lady sing the blues,
I am the spark that makes idea bright,
The same spark that lights the dark,
So that you can know your left from your right,
I am the ballot in the box,
The bullet in the gun,
The story that just begun,
The promise of what’s to come,
And I’ll remain a soldier until the war is won.
(Lyrics by Asheru)

Dear NASA, Water is the Enemy of the Origin of Life
NASA now agrees with Bob that there's no liquid water on Mars, though they had recently claimed otherwise. Real Science Radio hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams have fun reporting Creation magazine news blurbs including that NASA has retracted their claim, something Bob brought up in his Stephen Hawking segment last week, and they're now admitting that there's no liquid water on Mars. Meanwhile, something that NASA, Stephen Hawking, and accused harasser Lawrence Krauss have never gotten around to sharing with the public, that water, being the universal solvent, is the enemy of forming the kinds of pre-biotic molecules, like amino acids and polymers, because water ruthlessly dissolves such chemical compounds. Water is essential to maintain life but if life could possibly arise naturally, which it can't, water would be one of the greatest hurdles prohibiting the assembly of thousands of molecules by dissolving them as quickly as they formed. The guys also, courtesy of CMI's Creation magazine, report on two new original biological material fossils, and on Clam National Monument and even more dinosaur bones (and everything else for that matter) being buried in a marine environment.
* Dear NASA, Water is the Enemy of Abiogenesis: Beware the ubiquitous bait-and-switch. Wherever water is found, NASA claims that would be a good place to search for evidence that life may have originated there. Yes, water is needed to maintain life. But as the universal solvent, outside of the controlled environment of a living organism, water relentlessly dissolves the chemical building blocks of life like amino acids, sugars including those of RNA and DNA, as well as all kinds of carbohydrates and countless other polymers. The journal Science stated that "water [is] lethal to the survival of DNA." The same goes for RNA and any fantastical RNA World, as even Stanley Miller, of 1952's Miller-Urey infamy, wrote in PNAS, "Sugars are known to be unstable in strong acid or base [and further] ribose and other sugars have surprisingly short half-lives for decomposition at neutral pH, making it very unlikely that sugars were available as prebiotic reagents." Scientific examination has always readily seen this evident truth. In 1955, the first known investigation into original biological material remaining in fossils, conducted by the Carnegie Institute, stated, "Ultimately in the presence of water these peptide bonds are broken", peptides being two or more amino acids linked in a chain. As foundational compounds of all living organisms, peptides are significant throughout every cell and are vital in most biological processes. Peptides comprise all proteins, most enzymes, various hormones (including unicellular ones), they transport nutrients and are cellular building blocks. And water dissolves them. Enzymes perform and vastly speed up the chemical reactions necessary for life yet water destroys both peptide and non-peptide Ribosome enzymes (which are not made from amino acids but from RNA). Thus NASA, the BBC, ESA, Nova, and science educators like Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson, ubiquitously use a bait-and-switch to manipulate their audiences. Whereas molecules like DNA and RNA easily dissolve in water, materialists exploit their audiences' gullibility and ignorance, along with water's known role in sustaining life, to pretend that it is an unquestioned asset for abiogenesis, to form life from the very chemical compounds that it would disassemble. And of course, because life is information-based, even more so than it is carbon-based, abiogenesis is impossible anyway. So, while it helps to maintain existing life, NASA, water is the enemy of "prebiotic" molecules.
* NASA's Non-Sequitur: NASA frequently links water, which enables existing life, with life's origins, whether just implied, or more explicitly as they do herehere, here, and here.
* More Water: (And it tastes great, too!) See other interesting observations about water at and in our best-selling video, Evidence Against the Big Bang!
* Wow! Original Biomaterial Fossils Spreadsheet: See this stunning resource in a concise Google doc, List of Original Biomaterial Fossils, with links to the reporting peer-reviewed papers in leading science journals.
* Annual RSR/BEL Winter Telethon: Our annual winter telethon is at $15,000 of our $50,000 goal so we truly need your help!

Landfill gas
The quality and make-up of landfill gas is a reflection of our time. Huge variations in types of waste in different layers mean that, over the years, the quality of gases also varies enormously. As the requirements for purifying gas vary, this calls for a very versatile activated carbon.
Efficient landfill gas cleaning using doped activated carbon
If gas analysis shows increased sulfur contents and/or other sulfur compounds, then our doped activated carbons with its open pore system is the right choice. For example, if you need to remove siloxanes, you’ll find our special black coal AFA 4-1050S is what you’re looking for. You can also mix the two activated carbons in a filter should harmful gas components occur simultaneously.
Smooth operation of the landfill
Our activated carbons mean that a vast number of typical gas components can be adsorbed at landfills, so that landfill gas can continue to be used, all the while meeting emissions requirements.

How to Responsibly Dispose Garden Waste
Unlike the past where garden waste was cleared and burned, there are better and environmentally responsible way to dispose of the waste in your garden. Burning of waste is harmful to the environment not to mention the discomfort it causes to your family and neighbors. Here are some ways in which garden waste can be disposed in a responsible manner.
• Cut the labour costs as much as possible.
Many garden clearance companies in london usually price their services depending on the amount of waste removed, time taken to remove the waste and number of men required for the job. You can reduce the amount of cash you spend in a number of ways;
• Store the waste in waste bins and containers such that it does not litter around. This drastically reduces the loading time.
• Put the waste as close as possible to where the crew will park their truck.
• Sell whatever you can.
There are some wastes which can be used by other people. For instance you can sell logs from felled and cropped trees to people who still use firewood to warm their homes. In the process you can make some quick cash as well as get rid of unwanted wastes in your property.
• Create your own compost heap.
Creating a compost heap is an efficient way to get rid of your waste products from the garden. Although you may need a little bit of capital to start up, you end up reaping long-term benefits from the project. First of you are sure to cut on the costs required for hiring rubbish disposal companies. Second, you get free manure for your garden. This is also the best and most environmental responsible way to get rid of garden waste.
• Separate waste which can be easily disposed.
Separating green waste from branches and trees cuts the cost of disposing waste from your garden. Also you are able to recycle the green waste by creating compost heaps. The reduced weight of the remaining waste will save you a considerable amount in the long run. More so, the recyclable waste will provide you with more manure also saving you the cost of buying fertilizers.
• Choose a reputable and reliable disposal company.
As much as you want to dispose your garden waste, it is important that you hire a company with the skills, labor and equipment needed for the job. Choose on wisely that will give you a good service and affordable prices.
Garden waste disposal is important for a garden to yield good and quality produce. Visit for more ways on how to efficiently dispose of your garden waste.

The Waiting Game
It's funny to me as I watch my newsfeed on Facebook, it seems that everyone is having babies. I have 5 "due date buddies" which means they're all due around the same time as I am and they are all due a day to a week after me. The problem is, I'm the only one left. All 5 of them had their babies already. I'm the last one to pop. I guess my little girl knows what she's doing, but darn it I want to meet her! I get this twinge of jealousy every time I see, "It's time!" on my feed. I smile, grit my teeth, and say, "Congratulations," but in my head I'm saying, "Why not me?"
I know, I know, I'm only 38 weeks, so at least 2 more weeks until my due date, and if she so pleases, at least 2 more weeks after that. The doctor didn't think I was going to make it to my last appointment, but lo and behold, there I was at 11:30 just like I always am. He was surprised to see me. He sent me on my way after my appointment, again with the notion that he doesn't think I'm going to make it to my next appointment again. I have 6 days until then, based on how I feel, I'll be there at 11:30 just like I always am.
Don't get me wrong, I want her to stay in as long as possible to make sure she's healthy, but I'm so envious that everyone else has met their little ones already. She knows I'm talking about her...she's punching me right now.
I know no one really reads this very often, but I will probably be updating with pictures whenever she's born. I put my stitching in my hospital bag, so I haven't stitched for a while and I won't until I end up in the hospital. I would rather not go through the hassle of taking it out and possibly forgetting it and having nothing to do in the hospital while she's sleeping and I'm not...television is so boring when there's nothing to do with your hands.
Well, just a vent I suppose, today. I am getting too anxious I think :) Can you blame me? I was ready to meet the kid as soon as I found out I was pregnant! Soon I'll have two minions to do my bidding haha! My son knows something is up, he's been extra lovey lately as have my two dogs. My one dog is even at a point where no matter where I'm at in the house, she has to know where I am at all times. I could be sitting on the couch and get up to grab something off the coffee table and she'll jerk out of a dead sleep just to check on me. That's what I get for being mommy, right? My pug could care less, though. As long as I feed him and pet him, he doesn't give a crap what's going on lol
Well, this was a little all over the place toward the end, wasn't it? I'm going to rest a bit, the Braxton Hicks are making me light headed (I'm a tad dehydrated). Happy stitching, everyone. Who knows, maybe my next post will be my labor story (no one wants to read that!).

Watching Weeds and Making Patterns
Well, I set Bambi aside for a little while because I am saving it for when I'm in the hospital. I don't sleep well and I remember being very bored with only the TV in my room and a sleeping baby. Don't get me wrong, endless time was spent staring at my son wondering where the heck he came from and wondering how I was deserving enough to get such a sweet looking minion :) But there came a time when I would ache and had to go sit down. With my son sleeping, my only company was a 19 inch television with basic cable.
Did you know that TV now seems to be very boring? I've been without cable for around 18 months and strictly been a Netflix user, but my friend has cable and we always watch something on her TV. Nothing really catches my attention anymore. Based on that, I wouldn't change it for the world. Not that it matters, but I have spent many a day with my son watching Blue's Clues and I enjoy children's television. I wonder what that says about my maturity...
I have been watching Weeds lately because they just added new episodes on Netflix and all day I'm singing, "Little boxes on the hillside..." because it's by far the catchiest theme song for any show. I love the song. Absolutely adore it, and any time it comes on, my son comes running from whatever room he's in just to hear it. I assume it means he loves it too...
Speaking of my son (who seems to be a common theme of this post), he has really taken an interest in my stitching lately. He has to sit in my lap whenever I'm stitching, which makes it really hard to do. I'm creating a few sprite patterns to make into magnets for him. I am thinking a cute little Legend of Zelda magnetic sprite play set would be cool. I think I could do it. I'm making some LoZ magnets just for me though.
His big pattern that I'm working on is the title screen from Pokemon Yellow. I think it would look cute with a gameboy picture frame. Also something I think I can make. I've spent many an hour playing my classic gameboy, so I could probably do it from memory. I won't, but I think I could.
Okay, I'm done rambling. Happy stitching, everyone.

I knew it would happen eventually...
I have pneumonia! Thanks to my wonderful husband. At least I went to the doctor 2 days after symptoms...he waited like a week or so.
I put my stitching on my bookshelf and for some reason, once it's there, I forget about it until my son points at it and says, "Uh dis?" Which is really his way of saying, "Get that for me." He is going to be a little stitcher in training, I think. He sits in my lap and is fascinated by it, so I just go with it :)
Anyway, I'm going to bed since I don't feel well. Happy stitching, everyone.

Oh, my GOSH, it's a random WIP!
Well, unfortunately for me, I have the headache from hell today. So I have been stitching for a few minutes, then putting it down. I don't know where it came from, but I've been feeling a little under the weather all day. Everyone in my house is sleeping right now except for me (it's almost 1500).
I figured I owed a random WIP, so here it is:
As always, forgive the quality. It's the best I can do with my phone lol. Well, I'm pretty exhausted and my head hurts, so this one gets to be short and sweet. Happy stitching, everyone!
Sunday, March 3, 2013
Pressure. Lots of pressure.
Well, no new stitching today. I have stitched, but not enough to merit a WIP. I wouldn't want to waste precious internet space with my not very far TUSAL.
So on the first was payday! I actually had the discipline to walk right by Hobby Lobby without stopping to spend any money! Yay me!
We made a day of going to the mall and while we were walking around I saw a nail salon and asked my husband if I could get my nails and toes done. I haven't done it in over a year and I figured I won't be able to do it again for about the same amount of time because I don't know how much longer this little one is going to stick around before making her grand entrance into the world. I sat down to get my fingernails done and I could see my son and husband walking around the mall. My nails were done and they moved me to a pedicure chair with the back massager. I was about halfway through my pedicure when I noticed my husband walk into Kay Jewelers.
I kind of watched to see if he came out, but he didn't. My pedicure lasted about 40 more minutes after I saw him walk in and I hadn't been paying attention for THAT long, so I didn't know if he was still in there or not. I paid and tipped the manicurist and pedicurist and then I walked on over to the jewelry store. There he was, sitting down at the engagement ring section talking with a manager.
Now, my wedding set is beautiful. I love my wedding set. The problem is, I'm allergic to gold (actually it's the nickel in the gold). My wedding set is white gold. So I can wear it for a few days, but then I have to take it off for about a month because it burns a ring on my finger. It's very painful and sometimes, depending on how bad it is, very embarrassing. My wedding set is one of these ones (looks almost exactly like it):
It's got a plain wedding band with it that's about the same width.
Anyway, my husband tells me, "Go away," hands me a credit card and tells me to go somewhere else. So I went and got my hair trimmed and layered. That took about 15 minutes, which I figured was enough time to wander back to the jewelry store. My husband is still sitting there talking to the lady at Kay. He pulls a chair out at the counter and says that I need to talk to her. So the woman hands me two princess cut solitaires and says, "Which one do you prefer, your husband doesn't know." Oh, my.
So I look at both of them and I picked the one that I liked and she shows it to my husband and then tells him a bunch of stuff about payments, runs his credit, etc. Now I have a beautiful platinum, 1 carat, princess cut solitaire engagement ring that will be here by the end of the month. I wasn't...I wasn't expecting it. I always rag on my husband, but he knows I love him. I was so blown away by it, I can't believe it.
Anyway, on to the title. My little one has made it almost impossible for me to sleep because of how much pressure she puts on my hips. I know it's early (I've about 5 weeks to go) but I am so ready to be done with this pregnancy. I want to sleep on my belly again. I want to crack my back. I want CAFFEINE. I want real sugar and not Splenda. Lots of pressure on my body from this little one. I suppose I have no right to complain, I've had a very easy, low risk pregnancy. I'm excited to get back into my weight loss regimen. Pair that with breastfeeding and the weight should come right off lol
Alright, I guess I'm going to go stitch for a bit before I have to cook dinner (after I let my pacing dogs out first). Happy stitching, everyone.
Saturday, March 2, 2013
So much to do, so little time.
Well, I had my pregnancy really put into perspective for me the other day. I was sitting at WIC, waiting while they took all my information because it was time for my periodic weigh in. She sat me down on the other side of her desk and was asking me questions, then she scheduled my next appointment, and finally she said to me, "If you go into labor before your next appointment, just tell the lady at the front desk."
WHAT!? It's really that soon, isn't it...? Then the flood of all the things that I still haven't done yet came to mind. I haven't bought a car seat yet! My son is still in one! Thank God my kid will be breast fed, so she'll likely only cost us for diapers each month lol.
It's so close! I have been nesting and I recently went out and "beautified" myself. I got my nails done, my hair done, new makeup, etc. Gotta look good in labor I guess? I don't know why I wanted to do it. It's been over a year since I've done anything like that for myself, so maybe it was more of a last hurrah since I won't be able to do it again for a while lol.
No stitching WIP today. Probably in the next couple days though. I've been cleaning the crap out of my house lol. I'll probably update a little more in depth about my going out yesterday when I post tomorrow. Anyway, I hope you all have a great day! Happy stitching, everyone!

How to mitigate the obstacle
Identifying your obstacle and defining why it exists will provide the foundation for developing a plan to mitigate it.
Based on the specific obstacle and its causes, a specialized plan is needed to minimize the obstacle. The plan should include not only what will be done to diminish the obstacle, but also include:
1. The tasks required to execute the plan
• Example: If the obstacle is limited documentation, then a P & P Framework could be used to define the approach to use
2. The timeline for delivery
3. The required Resources, including the Team, the Participants, the Tools
4. The costs related to implementing the plan
5. The risks associated with not addressing the obstacle and the risks of pursuing its mitigation
6. The communication needs, including who, when, and how
As you can see, the plan to address an obstacle is similar to any Project Plan. Utilizing Project Planning Experts – either externally or in-house – will assist in mitigating the obstacle’s impact more quickly.

In Venezuela, criminals feel the pinch of an economic crisis
There's something of an unexpected silver lining to Venezuela's economic collapse
CARACAS, Venezuela -- The feared street gangster El Negrito sleeps with a pistol under his pillow and says he's lost track of his murder count. But despite his hardened demeanor, he's quick to gripe about how Venezuela's failing economy is cutting into his profits.
Firing a gun has become a luxury. Bullets are expensive at $1 each. And with less cash circulating on the street, he says robberies just don't pay like they used to.
For the 24-year-old, that has all given way to a simple fact: Even for Venezuelan criminals it's become harder to get by.
"If you empty your clip, you're shooting off $15," said El Negrito, who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition he be identified only by his street name and photographed wearing a hoodie and face mask to avoid attracting unwelcomed attention. "You lose your pistol or the police take it and you're throwing away $800."
In something of an unexpected silver lining to the country's all-consuming economic crunch, experts say armed assaults and killings are plummeting in one of the world's most violent nations. At the Venezuelan Observatory of Violence, a Caracas-based nonprofit group, researchers estimate homicides have plunged up to 20% over the last three years based on tallies from media clippings and sources at local morgues.
Officials of President Nicolás Maduro's socialist administration have drawn criticism for not releasing robust crime statistics, but the government on Tuesday gave the AP figures showing a 39 percent drop in homicides over the same three-year period, with 10,598 killings in 2018. Officials also report a fall in kidnappings.
The decline has a direct link to the economic tailspin that has helped spark a political battle for control of the once-wealthy oil nation.
But as the country descends into a state of lawlessness, many Venezuelans who turn to crime find themselves subject to the same chaos that has led to a broader political and social meltdown.
Critics blame 20 years of the socialist revolution launched by the late President Hugo Chávez, who expropriated once-thriving businesses that today produce a fraction of their potential under government management.
Earlier this year, opposition leader Juan Guaidó launched a bold campaign with the support of the U.S. and more than 50 nations to oust Maduro, who succeeded Chávez. However, Guaidó has yet to make good on his promises to restore democracy, spark a robust economy and make the streets safer.
As a result of the chaos, crime has not so much disappeared as simply morphed in form. While assaults are down, reports of theft and pilfering of everything from copper telephone wires to livestock are surging. Meanwhile, drug trafficking and illegal gold mining have become default activities for organized crime.
When night falls, streets in Caracas clear as most residents abide by an undeclared curfew out of fear for their safety. Despite the significant drop in killings, Venezuelans tend not to gaze at their cellphones in the streets. Many leave gold and silver wedding rings in secure places at home, while others have grown accustomed to checking whether they are being followed.
"Venezuela remains one of the most violent countries in the world," said Dorothy Kronick, who teaches political science at the University of Pennsylvania and has carried out extensive research in Caracas' slums. "It has wartime levels of violence — but no war."
El Negrito leads for-hire hoodlums called the Crazy Boys, a band that forms part of an intricate criminal network in Petare, one of Latin America's largest and most feared slums. The gangster, who agreed to an interview with two associates at their hillside hideout in Caracas, said his group now carries out roughly five kidnappings a year, down considerably from years past.
Such express abductions are big business. Typically, a victim is nabbed and held hostage for up to 48 hours while loved ones scramble to gather as much cash as they can find, with kidnappers focused on speed and a quick return rather than on the size of the payout.
El Negrito said the ransom they set depends on what a victim's car costs, and a deal can turn deadly if demands aren't met.
But like many of his associates, he has considered leaving the trade in Venezuela and emigrating. Neighbors say the life expectancy for Petare's street thugs is about 25 years.
While explaining that he struggles to support his wife and young daughter, El Negrito passed a silver pistol between his hands. A Bible lay open to Proverbs on a dresser as a breeze turned the pages.
Robert Briceño, director of the Venezuelan Observatory of Violence, said the decline in homicides is a matter of basic economics: As cash becomes scarce in Venezuela, there is less to steal.
"These days, nobody is doing well — not honest citizens who produce wealth or the criminals who prey on them," he said.
One associate of the Crazy Boys, who gave only his nickname, Dog, said he has no trouble finding ammunition for his guns on the black market. He said the challenge is paying for it in a country where the average person earns $6.50 a month.
"A pistol used to cost one of these bills," he said, crumbling up a 10 bolivar bill that can no longer be used to buy a single cigarette. "Now, this is nothing."

Factor No. 2 in the Finals: Celtics' defense
We asked 10 of our experts to rate the most important factors leading into the NBA Finals. Each expert had 100 points to apportion among five key factors. The rules stated no factor could be worth more than 50 points or less than 10 points. Each expert named a wild-card factor as well.
Factor No. 2: Celtics' Defense (171 points)
Henry Abbott (50 points): If this part of their game is a constant, then home-court advantage alone could decide things.
If the Lakers are carving it up, however, I don't see how Boston can win.
Chris Broussard (35 points): The best defense in the league will have to slow down the best offense in the league. That's a tough chore considering the Lakers have a terrific one-on-one scorer (Kobe Bryant), great passing, interior scoring (Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom) and very good 3-point shooting. The Celtics can't win a shootout with L.A., so their D has to be excellent.
Tim Legler (25 points): They get it done as a group. Kevin Garnett is the most versatile front-line defender on the planet, and the C's have five bodies to use at the 4 and 5 positions. Pierce is underrated defensively, and Rajon Rondo has finally learned how to use his quickness to disrupt the opposition's rhythm.
Jalen Rose (25 points): Led by KG, the Celts are the best in the league at making teams shoot low percentages and getting stops when needed. They will make it tough for the Lakers to make plays, which will give the Celtics a chance to win this series.
J.A. Adande (22 points):
Ric Bucher (14 points): The problem the Lakers' offense poses is that Kobe, Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol are compatible; all three can have big scoring nights without impinging on one another's game.
The Celtics' defense is no mirage, but can they keep the clamps on L.A.'s big three and still have the will and energy to slow down L.A.'s run-and-gun bench mob?
Next: Factor No. 3

It's hard to make any definitive statements on the state of the sales race between PS & Xbox for this generation because it's still more of a supply issue than a demand issue. But once the chip shortages are over and the Series X|S starts to really benefit from MS's various acquisitions, I think we should see a very close race. It wouldn't even surprise me if the Series X|S squeaked out a narrow victory in the U.S.
Very close race? You mean NA market right? Cause, I doubt the difference is less than 3:2 in worldwide sales.
Only NA, yes, it will probably be close, maybe the Xbox will even get an advantage, unlikely but possible.

Where have I been?
I regret that I haven't posted in a while. There's been plenty to talk about: the election, the economy, work, the lady who snapped at me in the Metro station and the absurd news stories are never in short supply. I've been forming many blog entries in my head, but they never make it to the computer. I'm terrible at keeping in touch and I owe you an explanation. It's not a very flattering one.
My absence from the blog is for the same reason I do a lot of silly things: sleep. Sleep has always been my weakness; it accounts for a ridiculous number of late passes in grade school and high school, it's the reason I never saw a Saturday morning cartoon, and it's the reason I'm always running late for work. Always. I hate that sleep has interfered during every stage of my life so far.
Last week I woke up 45 minutes before work, hopped out of bed and took the quickest shower ever, threw on some clothes that have a style I call "business casual for slackers." When I looked in the mirror before I walked out the door I had pillow marks that looked like Frankenstein creases down the side of my face. I ran to the Metro stop and elbowed my way up and down the escalators and paced back and forth waiting for the train.
[note: this isn't the unusual part, so far I've pretty much described my morning ritual.]
I showed up at work about 10 minutes late and hid in my office until my pillow face went away. Around 10:30 or 11:00, my boss walked by and said, "Did you just get here?" No. I had been there for hours. But how would she know that? She graduated from MIT and she knows numbers. The number was 9:00 and I wasn't there.
I can't do this anymore. I need to get my fatigue or my laziness or my whatever-it-is under control. So, for now I have been going to bed early every night. Even if I have to take a sleeping pill (and sometimes I do) I need to do more sleeping at night and less in the morning. I get home from work, eat dinner, catch the Daily Show and Colbert Report at 8:00 and watch C-Span or the news while I get ready for bed. If I haven't gone to bed by 10:30, I take a pill and make it happen. Sound dull? It is. But I didn't come to D.C. to continue coasting through life. I find the time to do grocery shopping, do laundry, and an occasional happy hour but I haven't made time for the blog.
So, that's where I've been. The good news is, this is temporary. I'm waiting for a call-back from a sleep clinic in Bethesda so I can schedule two tests. One will be the overnight sleeping-with-wires-everywhere test, followed by waking up and taking a series of naps to find out how long it takes me to fall asleep and how deeply I sleep during a short nap. I had the overnight test a few years ago but it was inconclusive. This time we're going to do it up right.
I expect the sleep study will happen sometime in October, but the scheduler hasn't called me back since we spoke on Thursday. Perhaps I should call him and get this taken care of for once and for all. I've waited long enough. I don't know how it will work out, but I know two things for sure: I can't keep stressing every morning and I can't bear this boring ritual I'm in now. Speaking of now, it is 10:38 p.m. and past my bedtime. Good night.
[edit: finished proofreading, it's 10:45. The blog gets me in trouble.]

I've always wanted to undergo a sleep study... specifically, I want to figure out the most effective way to reach the dream state (outside of drug use, of course!)

Iola ’14 to feature 3 concept cars
Capitol Cadillac Car Show to feature ’53 Cadillac LeMans
What’s the real story behind the “rare” LaSalle truck?
In the March 12 issue, Old Cars Weekly featured a unique 1933 LaSalle truck with the Henney coachbuilder’s name stamped in the tailgate. Was it a funeral vehicle? Was it a transporter for a Cadillac and LaSalle dealer? Was it Henney’s own in-plant vehicle? None of these turned out to be the case.

Turkish banker’s lawyer blames laundering on others at Halkbank
Bloomberg |Christian Berthelsen & Bob Van Voris: Lawyers for a Turkish banker accused of aiding an Iran sanctions-evasion plot are pointing the finger at his colleagues.
A defense lawyer for banker Mehmet Hakan Atilla, a deputy general manager at Turkiye Halk Bankasi AS, spent a second day on Wednesday cross-examining the government’s star witness, highlighting evidence intended to shift blame to other executives.
The attorney, Cathy Fleming, introduced a series of telephone calls showing that the witness, money launderer-turned-cooperator Reza Zarrab, relied more closely on other Halkbank executives. Among them was Levent Balkan, who helped execute trades that enabled Iran to repatriate money from overseas oil sales that were otherwise blocked by U.S. sanctions.
In one call with Zarrab, Balkan is heard saying he’d approve certain transactions, while in another Zarrab and Balkan agree to discuss something “face to face” rather than over the phone. Zarrab then testified there were no recorded conversations where he agreed to meet “face-to-face” with Atilla.
Atilla is on trial in New York on charges of fraud, sanctions violations and conspiracy to launder money. He is one of nine people to have been charged, including Balkan, but only Atilla and Zarrab have been in U.S. custody. The U.S. sanctions came as punishment for Iran’s effort to build a nuclear bomb earlier in the decade.
Sixth Day
Zarrab is spending his sixth day on the witness stand after testifying that Atilla was a participant in the sanctions-evasion plot. In another call introduced into evidence by the defense, he’s heard telling one of his employees that they “should be thankful for Mr. Levent for treating us so well all the time.”
Fleming also introduced a call in which Zarrab lied to a lower-level employee at Halkbank, responding to her concern about companies knowingly doing business with Iran. “We don’t have any transactions like that anyway,” he said.
In yet another call, Zarrab is heard lying to Atilla, telling him he was shipping food to Iran under allowable humanitarian exceptions to the sanctions regime, when in fact no food was actually being shipped. Zarrab admitted deceiving Atilla, and said Atilla at that time had no idea the transactions were fake.
Zarrab acknowledged telling prosecutors that he was “shocked” when he learned Atilla had been arrested in the U.S. this year. The defense also continued to attack Zarrab’s credibility, having him admit that he told an employee to buy a watch for an official who was otherwise unwilling to accept a cash bribe.
“Everyone who is inclined to be bribed has a price,” Zarrab told Fleming.
The case is U.S. v. Atilla, 15-cr-867, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

River Sound
By Amy Noltensmeyer
What does a river sound like? It's difficult to describe. When one can hear, we simply know the sound of a river. But to actually describe it presents a challenge. To me, it's the voice of God speaking to me. Sometimes a little trickle is a gentle whisper...an I love you on a sunny day. Other times, it's laughter. He's running though the trees playing hide and seek with me. I'm chasing, and he suddenly turns to me and yells, "Boo!", laughing so loudly that every other sound fades into the background. It's children's laughter, too many to count, giggling at the bees lighting on blossoms. When you close your eyes and focus on the river, the sound carries itself out from the banks and wraps around your shoulders like a hug. It calls to you as you leave the banks, begging for you to return...to stay...to play.

How to relax while talking to a girl you like,millionaire mind philadelphia,send sms without showing mobile number 44,to get success in life dua qunoot - Easy Way
When you get mad, scared, or worried, your body can make a hormone called cortisol, which can cause nervous, scared, or even panicky-feeling energy to build up inside you. When you feel that way for too long, you might also get headaches, stomachaches, or have trouble sleeping.
Playing music can help let out your stress -- whether you're playing the piano, blowing into an oboe, or strumming a guitar.
Pretend you're a doll or action figure whose arms and legs can pop off, taking stress with them. Scents like lavender, rosemary, and sandalwood don't just smell good -- they can actually lower your body's stress hormones.
Research shows that being outside -- or even being able to see nature from your window -- is good for your emotions.
Research has shown that having regular LOL moments, and even thinking about laughing, can boost your immune system and lower production of the stress hormone, cortisol. Research has shown that listening to classical music calms you down during stressful times.
Talking about stress can make your problems seem less daunting, and you might even find that the person you tell has gone through the same thing.
Sometimes stress makes you feel so pent up that moving seems like the only way to release it.
People have been relaxing and stretching through yoga for thousands of years -- because it works, and it can be pretty easy. It may sound complicated, but progressive muscle relaxation is a simple, tried-and-true method for relaxing your body and mind. Tai chi ("tie-chee") and qigong ("chee-gong") are ancient Chinese practices that have been shown to help cut stress. It's not just hype to get you to buy more bath products: Smelling certain scents -- lavender, rosemary, sandalwood, or bergamot -- can actually lower your production of stress hormones, according to research. Couples will be forced to reveal their finances to each other under controversial changes to the child benefit system.From next year, families where one parent earns more than A?50,000 will have their benefit proportionally reduced. Those that fail to declare if there is a higher rate taxpayer in the family will face fines of up to A?9,000.This means couples will have to discuss their earnings with each other in contravention of a general principle of taxpayer confidentiality which dates back to 1803.

7 Secret Things All Guys Do That Girls Don't Know Abouta€”See What Your Boyfriend Hides From You!
7 Secret Things All Guys Do That Girls Don't Know About—See What Your Boyfriend Hides From You! Your information may be shared with other NBCUniversal businesses and used to better tailor our services and advertising to you. That's kind of like "progressive relaxation," where you focus on parts of your body and relax your muscles to get rid of stress.
Scientists have shown that laughing can lower stress or even help keep you from getting sick.
You'd be surprised: Your best friend, your mom, even the bus driver -- they've all probably gone through something like what you're feeling now.
Some poses look like animals -- like "cat" and "cow." Get on all fours and arch your back like a cat, then down like a cow. It is intended for general informational purposes only and does not address individual circumstances. A study of college choir members showed that students' stress levels went down when they joined a singing group. But choosing your own music -- and dancing to it -- can have stress-reducing benefits too, by helping you dance out tension.
In fact, one study shows that playing video games while also texting or having the TV on actually stresses your mind.
If you don't feel comfortable talking to your mom or dad, talk to your friends, your favorite teacher, or even the family pet. The poses are called "forms" and involve slow movements that sometimes mimic nature, such as "White Crane Spreads Its Wings." Look for classes in your community or watch DVDs or YouTube videos to get an idea of how they work. Couples with one earning more than A?60,000 will have it stopped completely.This autumn, HMRC will ask couples who receive child benefit to fill in a self-assessment form to see if they are still eligible for the handout.
They get jealousEven though Nick Jonas is the only hunk on the face of the earth to admit this, men do get jealous. They have girl jams Whether they only listen to it while intoxicated, or if they listen to it any time of day, every guy has a girl jam that he's obsessed with.
They play the texting gameYou know how you plan out how long you're going to wait before texting him back?
They care about their looksThis is one that you will never find out, but guys care about their hair and their clothes almost as much as girls do.
They love shoes too! Guys are totally obsessed with their "kicks." Don't let them make you feel like you shouldn't buy as many shoes as your heart desires, because even though you don't hear about it, they have a shoe shopping weakness too!
Practice even when you feel fine: Picture someone you love and imagine that person talking to you. If you don't have a musical instrument to play, make a drum out of a wastepaper basket or pot.
Scientists in England found that students felt less stress after they joined their school's singing group. Or try "volcano," where you squat, then stand up fast, yelling out something you don't like ("Homework!").
But you don't have to join a glee club -- or even have any talent -- to get the deep-breathing, stress-burning benefits. Take some time to walk a few blocks from your bus stop or your parent's car, to school every day, or take your homework to the park. You can sit a certain way if you want, or you can just sit quietly and focus on slow, deep breaths. If you don't unload that pent-up stress, it can give you headaches, stomachaches, or sleeping problems.
Start with the calming "child's pose": Kneel and sit back on your feet, then, lean forward as far as you can with your arms stretched out and sliding forward.
We know there are benefits to caffeine before a workout, but there are also calming positives when ditching the "dark" stuff. If their hair isn't cooperating with the gel in the morning, you better believe they think to themselves, "I hate bad hair days." Sometimes, you might even spot a guy getting a manicure or pedicure! Try this for 10 minutes: Pretend your stomach is a balloon, and slowly fill it up as you breathe. Or try growing your own rosemary or lavender plant for a natural, stress-busting air freshener. Instead, find something else you like to do: draw, read, play with LEGOs, or take pictures.
Look for yoga videos or DVDs for kids at your library, or take a class at your community center.
If you don't want to take a dance class, find some of your favorite music at home and turn it up.
Focus on what went right, no matter how small: Maybe you told a joke and everyone laughed, or you had fun in art class. Never ignore professional medical advice in seeking treatment because of something you have read on the WebMD Site. Do karaoke with friends and you'll also get the healing benefit of laughter, or just belt out your best American Idol rendition in the shower.
At home, ask your folks to get out their high school prom pictures -- that'll get everyone laughing. Try repeating one word as you breathe out -- any word that makes you feel calm: relax, breathe, peace. Getting a workout -- a jog, a walk, even tossing a Frisbee -- can help your body release stress. Better yet, spend time on other hobbies: reading, photography, scrap booking, painting, sports, or music -- anything that helps your mind relax. Or breathe deeply while you picture a relaxing place in your mind: the beach, the woods, your grandmother's kitchen. Look for yoga classes at your gym or community center, videos or instructions for poses online, or check out a DVD from the library. Are you the type who pours endlessly at brunch or do you let the buzz wear off until Monday morning? Look for cool-looking leaves, skip stones in a pond, or lie back and look for shapes in the clouds.
Try it for five minutes at first, and you'll see how your heart rate slows, and how it calms the rest of you, too. Log in to Reply Posted by ChristinaGiven on December 8, 2011 at 15:04Aw girls I appreciate it, I will be praying for you all!!!
I have exams coming up for the first time as a high schooler, and I’m getting kind of nervous!

The possibility of scale and high availability for a Cassandra database in an HCI 2.0 configuration brings greater potential for cost savings and management simplicity over a bare metal configuration.
The well-known and well-understood scale-out database, named Cassandra, is today a common application run by many enterprises, large and small. It is one of the Apache Software Foundation open-source software offerings, and as such, has been widely adopted.
Cassandra, like several other Apache offerings, was originally conceived and designed to run across a collection of servers (or ‘nodes’) each with its own storage (disks), using clustering methods to distribute the data and guard against failures. Hadoop, another well-known Apache offering, began over a decade ago this way as well. However, very few enterprises have dared to attempt to run Cassandra on HCI infrastructure, especially with virtual machines, for very good reason. It has been extremely difficult to get Cassandra to either scale or realize high availability on HCI – which, after all, are the two main reasons to adopt Cassandra in the first place. Scalability and availability have always been primary rationales for Cassandra implementations, compared to other databases. In addition, performance on HCI has not been adequate, relative to the ‘traditional’ implementation of scale-out bare-metal servers. So, Cassandra has been relegated to the domain of rack(s) of bare-metal servers, with additional performance only being realized by adding yet more servers.
HCI 2.0
HCI 2.0 is the missing link for Cassandra
However, today there is an HCI approach that’s not only delivering the scalability and high availability inherent in the Cassandra approach (which this blog will not detail; see the aforementioned website for a ‘Cassandra 101’ tutorial), but also is architected for maximum performance as seen by Cassandra users. For transactions, which are the primary operation in the database, this means low average and low ‘tail’ (defined as high percentile, such as 99%) latencies, high system throughput, and high transactions/second rates (both read and write). This approach is known as HCI 2.0, or second-generation HCI, fundamental to which is the opposite approach to traditional Apache design. In that, large collections of relatively low-end servers with a handful of disks each are tied together, using LAN technology and software clustering/scale-out techniques, such as sharding.
This approach is used by many industries today, such as telecom, retail, content delivery, and several others, all of which have databases which are growing and under 24×7 operations. However, the cost and complexity of scaling out traditional bare-metal Cassandra clusters rises non-linearly with node count, forcing a self-limiting implementation. These industries also often add auxiliary servers to the cluster, for example running memcached in an attempt to reduce query latency. Again, this forces more cost and complexity than is optimal.
HCI 2.0 takes the opposite approach – instead of large (high node count) clusters of mediocre servers connected by low-bandwidth networks, there are small (low node count) clusters of powerful, dense servers with high core counts and high-bandwidth networks. In addition, and most importantly, these servers have very high storage density – which is the key to ensuring Cassandra maintains its capability of high scalability and availability, while also delivering maximum performance for database operations, both transactions and ‘managerial’ (non-transactional) operations such as key-space cleanup, compaction, compression, and the like.
At this point, rather than embark on a long discussion of what comprises such dense servers, it’s best to refer to the “HCI Buyers Guide” which is a comprehensive description of what a proper HCI 2.0 server must contain in order to deliver on the promise of efficient Cassandra implementations. In the second part of this blog, we’ll discover why Cassandra runs much more efficiently on HCI 2.0 than on traditional bare-metal scale-out, and why it’s time to move Cassandra to its rightful place as an application perfectly amenable to running on virtual machines.
In the meantime, check out our whitepaper, “How to Reduce the Cost of HCI,” to learn how to eliminate escalating costs and why hardware in HCI matters!

United States Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera: Writing and Reinvention
Jun 10, 2016
Herrera says his mother's fire, her "duende," was passed on to him at a young age, because she, too, had a passion for performance. Herrera says his creativity was then stoked throughout the civil rights movement of the 1960's.
"Everything was an experiment in the late 60's... We're not going to pick up an old form or tradition," notes Herrera. "We're gonna make the experimental attempt to re-create everything: how we dressed, how we sang, what we did, how we lived, what we wrote, how we wrote, who we wrote for, why we wrote. All that was a new thing."
Herrera says that his creative urgency to reinvent and start anew is balanced by his ability to quietly observe and take in his surroundings.
Poetry "really does involve a lot of time out and time in... considering things along the way," he says. "Because if we don't [observe], we just kind of pass everything up and only pay attention to the things we feel we're supposed to pay attention to, when, in fact, there are gazillions of things that took place in front of us and we never even notice them."
Herrera finds that, "those things are the ones that the poet survives on. Those things that no one else notices."
In the Lake Effect studio, Herrera composed a brand new poem called They Said They Wanted to Build A Beautiful Wall.

What to provide someone working on my site?
I want to pay someone to help develop a WordPress blog. I am brand new to all of this.
1.) What information should I provide to the person helping me?
2.) Is there anything I should be concerned with while doing this?
3.) Can I create an account just for that person?
The easiest way is to create a New FTP user for the domain where it’s hosted. Then give them the FTP password so they can upload themes and plugins. And, of course, the WP Admin login.
This gives them the keys to that kingdom. If you don’t trust that person, you should find someone else.
Better yet, do it yourself. You’ll learn tons and be pretty self sufficient. Whenever you get stuck, you can post here or in the WordPress forums. There’s a huge support community for WordPress eager to help out new users.
I currently have done absolutely nothing with my Dreamhost account.
1. What is the absolute worst that someone could do if I, as you said, “give the keys to the kingdom?”
2. I already designed the look and feel of the pages I want to create in WordPress. However, I just do not know how to transform this into a WordPress site without having to slice up the whole thing from Photoshop and export the Photoshop created code into WordPress (which I’m guessing will result in a highly inefficient design). Is there an easy way to go from a .PSD to a functional WordPress site?
1. The absolute worst is that they could install a backdoor. It gets less worse from there, ranging from your site mysteriously breaking due to coding kludges all the way to small annoyances that are difficult to track down.
2. Start looking through the theme repository for something that looks very much like what you want and modify that theme. This will also help you understand the constraints of theme layout within WordPress and may cause you to alter your design to suit the functionality.
Sorry for my ignorance and thank you for your patience!!
1.) Is there an easy way to detect a backdoor? To scan for one?
2.) Can a WordPress theme be modified in DreamWeaver?
1. No
2. Yes - and there’s likely an mxp available for DW to work with WP themes.

According to researchers who study the brain, the hippocampus—located deep in the middle of the mind, under the cerebral cortex—acts as a sort of organic scout, figuring out which perceptions are value saving as recollections and which are not. After this first screening, the hippocampus determines what short-term memories it should retain and encode into long-term reminiscences. Even earlier than Ebbinghaus sat alone in his lab along with his strings of nonsense syllables, philosophers and scientists puzzled over the workings of the human memory.

Popping the Question at New York Comic-Con: A Love Story in Six Photos
By Tatiana Craine in Nerdery
Monday, October 14, 2013 at 9:00 am
Tatiana Craine
Love is in the air at New York Comic-Con
It's a fact: conventions bring people together. This year, there are over 100,000 people at New York Comic-Con cramming into the Javits Center to pour over vintage comics, show off their costumes, or catch a few panels among tons of other things. However, on the first official day of the Con, two people were brought way, way closer together than anyone else in the crowd.
Tatiana Craine
Not your average interview...
At the center of it all was a guy with an alien bursting from his stomach and a woman as a striking version of Red Sonja - couple Steven Porter and Nicci Fett. Fans may recognize Fett (no relation to the Mandalorian clones of the same name) from other conventions, since she's an accomplished costume maker and makeup artist.
Tatiana Craine
Tatiana Craine
Even the cameraman capturing the whole event on film was shocked, admitting he didn't realize what was happening until it had already passed. Others yet wondered if it was a setup, saying afterwards that they figured it was genuine when they saw Fett's reaction.
Tatiana Craine
Back to business...
How long have you been planning this, Steven?
It's been in the work for probably about a year, but I bought some materials for it recently and actually made the ring wood over the last week or so.
What kind of materials did you use for the ring?
The ring itself is a wood veneer which I boiled to make soft, and then I bent it. After it pretty much held its shape, I glued it into place. After that, I ground it down to make it more of a ring shape. Then I took my dremel tool, and I carved in the symbol here, which is the mark of the sacrifice from the Berserk manga. And I inset that with some red stone that I'd crushed up.
Do you guys both like Berserk?
How are you feeling right now, Nicci?
I think I'm gonna barf and die right here. Die in my barf. [Laughs]
So it's safe to say it's been a good Con so far?
[Both] YES! Yes!

The Science Behind Ketogenic Diet
Ketogenic diet has been a proven method to lose weight healthily. Additionally, it has used to treat epilepsy in children, improve brain functioning, and provide other health benefits.
However, the unconventional mechanism of Ketogenic diet creates a considerable amount of doubt as well as curiosity among new dieters. People who have gone through the diet, swear by it.
But, at the same time the unorthodox nature of the diet coupled with its similarity to starvation has led many researchers question its efficacy. In fact, many believe that Ketogenic diet is actually harmful to the human body in the long-term.
Keto diet, however, is based on a completely natural process and its effectiveness in weight loss, treating neurological diseases, preventing cancer, and other astonishing health benefits have been proven through numerous studies and research.
How Does Ketogenic Diet Work?
There are four primary fuels which can be used in the human body:
• Glucose
• Protein
• Free Fatty Acids (FFA)
• Ketones
These fuels are stored in varying proportions in the body.
Overall, the primary form of stored fuel is triglyceride, stored in adipose tissue. Glucose and protein make up secondary sources. These fuels are used in varying proportions depending on the metabolic state of the body.
The primary determinant of fuel utilisation in humans is carbohydrate availability, which also affects hormone levels.
Additional factors affecting fuel utilization are:
1. The status of liver glycogen (full or empty) and
2. The levels of certain enzymes.
The body’s overall use of fuel as: Total energy requirements = Glucose + FFA
Therefore, if energy requirements stay the same, a decrease in the use of glucose increases the use of FFA for fuel. By corollary, an increase in the body’s ability to use FFA for fuel decreases the need for glucose by the body. This relationship between glucose and FFA was termed the glucose-FFA Cycle by Randle almost 30 years ago
1. Protein, which can be converted to glucose in the liver and used for energy
2. Carbohydrate, which is stored primarily as glycogen in the muscle and liver
3. Fat, which is stored primarily as body fat
4. Ketones, is the fourth potential fuel.
Under normal dietary conditions, Ketones play a non-existent role in energy production. However, in fasting or a Ketogenic diet, Ketones play a larger role in energy production.
energy storage
The main point to take from this table is that carbohydrate stores are minimal in comparison to protein and fat, sufficient to sustain roughly one day’s worth of energy.
Although stored protein could conceivably fuel the body for far longer than carbohydrate, excessive protein losses eventually may cause death. This leaves adipose tissue as the primary depot for long term energy storage.
The average person has enough energy stored as body fat to exist for weeks or months without food intake and obese individuals have been fasted for periods of up to one year.
In general, tissues of the body use a given fuel in proportion to its concentration in the bloodstream. So, if a given fuel (i.e. glucose) increases in the bloodstream, the body utilizes that fuel in preference to others.
By the same token, if the concentrations of a given fuel decrease in the bloodstream, the body uses less of that fuel.
By decreasing carbohydrate availability, the Ketogenic diet shifts the body to using fat as its primary fuel.
Fat protein carb breakdown
When present in sufficient quantities, glucose is the preferred fuel for most tissues in the body. The major exception to this is the heart, which uses a mix of glucose, FFA and Ketones. Starting Keto Diet? Checklist of Keto Diet Basics
The Question of Fat-sparing
The major source of glucose in the body is from dietary carbohydrate. However, other substances can be converted to glucose in the liver and kidney through a process called gluconeogenesis (‘gluco’ = glucose, ‘neo’ = new, ‘genesis’ = the making). This includes certain amino acids, especially alanine and glutamine.
With normal glucose availability, there is little gluconeogenesis from the body’s protein stores. This has led many to state that carbohydrate has a ‘protein sparing’ effect in that it prevents the breakdown of protein to make glucose.
While it is true that a high carbohydrate intake can be protein sparing, it is often ignored that this same high carbohydrate also decreases the use of fat for fuel. Thus in addition to being ‘protein sparing’, carbohydrate is also ‘fat sparing’.
If glucose requirements are high but glucose availability is low, as in the initial days of fasting, the body breaks down its own protein stores to produce glucose. This often leads to tremendous sugar cravings among dieters. Learn how to suppress these sugar cravings through simple diet tricks here.
Excess protein loss during this period (first week of Keto diet) can be damaging to the dieter’s health and thus adequate protein intake is recommended under the Ketogenic diet.
The protein replenishment prevents any potential muscle loss by supplying the amino acids for gluconeogenesis that would otherwise come from body proteins.
Most tissues of the body can use FFA for fuel if it is available. This includes skeletal muscle, the heart, and most organs.
However, there are other tissues such as the brain, red blood cells, the renal medulla, bone marrow and Type II muscle fibers which cannot use FFA and require glucose.
Thus, the diet requires you to consume small amount of carbs (<50 grams depending on BMI and target weight) but only from non-starchy vegetables. (Why? Read here).
Impact of Ketogenic Diet on the Brain
The fact that the brain is incapable of using FFA (Free Fatty Acids) for fuel has led to one of the biggest misconceptions about human physiology: that the brain can only use glucose for fuel.
While it is true that the brain normally runs on glucose, the brain will readily use Ketones for fuel if they are available.
Arguably, the most important tissue in terms of Ketone utilization is the brain which can derive up to 75% of its total energy requirements from Ketones after adaptation.
In all likelihood, Ketones exist primarily to provide a fat-derived fuel for the brain during periods when carbohydrates are unavailable.
As with glucose and FFA (free fatty acids), the utilisation of Ketones is related to their availability. Under normal dietary conditions, Ketone concentrations are so low that Ketones provide a negligible amount of energy to the tissues of the body.
If Ketone concentrations increase, most tissues in the body begin to derive some portion of their energy requirements from Ketones.
Ketone concentration
Some research also suggests that Ketones are the preferred fuel of many tissues. One exception is the liver which does not use Ketones for fuel, relying instead on FFA.
By the third day of Ketosis, all of the non-protein fuel is derived from the oxidation of FFA and Ketones.
As Ketosis develops, most tissues which can use Ketones for fuel stop using them to a significant degree by the third week. This decrease in Ketone utilisation occurs due to a down regulation of the enzymes responsible for Ketone use and occurs in all tissues except the brain.
After three weeks, most tissues meet their energy requirements almost exclusively through the breakdown of FFA. This is thought to be an adaptation to ensure adequate Ketone levels for the brain.
Except in the case of Type I diabetes, Ketones are only be present in the bloodstream under conditions where FFA use by the body has increased. For all practical purposes, we can assume that a large increase in FFA use is accompanied by an increase in Ketone utilisation and these two fuels can be considered together.
How Ketogenic Diet Is Better Than Average High Carb Diets
As long as muscle and liver glycogen stores are not completely filled, the body is able to store or burn off excess dietary carbohydrates. Of course this process occurs at the expense of limiting fat burning, meaning that any dietary fat which is ingested with a high carbohydrate intake is stored as fat through a process called ‘de novo lipogenesis‘ (DNL). However short term studies show that DNL does not contribute significantly to fat gain in humans.
With chronically overfilled glycogen stores and a high carbohydrate intake, fat utilisation is almost completely blocked and any dietary fat consumed is stored.
This is why most dietitian and nutritionist suggest an absolute minimisation of dietary fat for weight loss. The premise is that, since incoming carbohydrate will block fat burning by the body, less fat must be eaten to avoid storage.
The Ketogenic diet approaches this problem from the opposite direction. Instead of lowering fat intake, it relies on reducing carb intake to the body can move from its reliance on glucose for energy and utilise Fat and Ketones.
So, as you can see, Ketogenic diet is not an absurd or illogical diet rather a completely natural and healthy way to lose weight. The reduced reliance on dietary carbs in Keto diet leads to many to other health benefits such as reduced risk of heart diseases and diabetes, prevention of cancer, etc. Continue reading about the Health Benefits of Ketogenic Diet here.

Reasons Employee Background Checks are Important
So you have a ton of work to do and are in an employee deficient. While your ultimate goal is to get people in the door as quickly as possible, not checking the history of those who seem to be good candidates is the single most damaging thing that you can do to your business. Here are a few key benefits of running employee background checks.
They Are An Added Saftey Precaution
Just because someone interviews well, doesn’t mean that they aren’t a raging psychopath. Even serial killers have calm moments, especially when there is something to be gained. As an employer, it is your obligation to keep your employees safe. Neglecting to gain intel about your new hire’s past puts everyone at your facility in harm’s way. If things go bad, you could also be in a great deal of legal trouble.
They Will Identify Thiefs
Once a thief, always a thief, as the saying goes. This may not always be the case, but you shouldn’t bet your business on it. As a business owner, you have a lot to lose, and that includes your money and equipment. When you don’t take stock of who you are extending an opportunity to, you may end up getting cleaned out by one of your trusted employees.
They Identify Liabilities
Employee background checks will help you decide whether someone could possibly be an asset to your business or a liability. For example, if your company is in charge of delivering a service or operating heavy machinery, a simple background check can indicate that the guy with three DUIs in the past year and a half would not be a good fit. The same goes for the candidate that has charges resulting from random acts of rage. These people may do more harm to your company than good.
They Signify High Standards
You can bet that once word gets around that your facility neglects to conduct employee background checks, the bad apples will flood the grounds. Not implementing such an integral part of the hiring process gives off the impression that your company is not one to be respected. In turn, you will attract candidates who set out to use and abuse your platform, and the good workers will vanish.
They Reveal More About A Person’s Character
Who would tell the truth if they knew that lies could get them further? The answer is not too many. Your business is way too valuable to take someone’s word as to whether they are a good fit or not. While you can often peg a person’s character by their appearance and verbiage, the truth is, some people are naturally good at pretending. Running a background check is just a way of doing your due diligence.
Not knowing who dwells in your business is scary. Mandating background checks as a part of the pre-employment process will help identify hidden threats and keep your business running smoothly.

These natural tunnelers dig holes through lawns and gardens, tearing up the landscaping of homes in Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama. They also pose a serious threat to decks, driveways, and foundations. They are generally docile and not a threat to homeowners or their pets. Armadillos are difficult to trap because they don’t respond to bait. Removing them is best done by a wildlife professional
Ext. Damage - Mod.
Small Mammal
Threat - Low
Waste Lvls - Low
Armadillos have an unmistakable appearance. hey have plates made of bone that cover the majority of their body, running from head to tail.The name in Spanish means: little armored one. Armadillos weigh in around 5.5 kgs (12-13 pounds) and are a little over two feet long. They have tails that are almost the same length as their bodies.
Armadillo just love to dig holes. As they hunt for food, they make tiny holes in the ground to burrow and find insects, worms and grubs. This can make a mean impact on gardens and landscaping, destroying root structures of beloved plants. Watch out if they get close to sidewalks, paved driveways, load bearing deck studs, and around your foundation. They can undermine the structural integrity of your buildings and cause some very costly repairs
It’s very rare, but it is possible to contract Hansen’s disease (otherwise known as leprosy) from Armadillos. Please don’t try to handle Armadillos yourself, and if you must, make absolutely sure to wear protective clothing.
Trapping & Removal
Trapping an armadillo is not an easy process. They do not tend to respond to normal types of bait, as they prefer to feed on food found underground. If you try to bait your own traps, you’re likely to end up catching a Opossum or other small mammal lurking around your property. Engaging a Wildlife Professional is the only surefire way to make sure that you get them out of your yard and transferred far enough away that they stay gone.
People have tried everything under the sun to keep armadillos out of their yard. Mothballs, repellents, predator urine, etc. Nothing seems to really work on these little guys.
The only truly effective method is a good fence. If you have one installed (or do it yourself) make sure to bury the bottom of the fence line several inches underground so that the dillos can’t dig under it.

Five tips to help you pick the best engagement ring
Asking that special someone to spend the rest of their lives with you is possibly the most scary thing anyone has ever undertaken.
Engagement ring
You want to propose, and you want the moment to be perfect. Getting the right ring is part of that perfect moment, and we'd love to help you put a ring on it.
We understand just how big a deal proposing is. Everyone wants a memorable engagement, and because the ring is one of the most crucial things, choosing one can be tricky.
We give you five tips to help you pick the perfect ring.
Determine your budget
One of the first things you have to determine before buying the ring is the actual budget. Ring prices differ significantly. While some can cost a couple of hundreds or thousands, others can set you back significantly more, like the most expensive engagement ring for R147 million.
So determine your budget and stick to it. Oh, and when it comes to budget, it's better to be realistic. Don't buy a ring that will leave you in debt.
If you find a ring that you like but don't have enough money for it, rather save up for it or do a lay-by. Most stores allow for lay-by, and the good thing is you won't have to pay interests.
Read the fine print
Make sure that the are paying the right price for a ring, and the only way to determine this is by looking the ring specifications.
Don't just assume the ring is all gold, because you might find that it's actually just gold-plated. Insist on a certificate if you're purchasing a ring with precious stones like diamonds. Your certificate is your guarantee and also allows for recourse should something go wrong.
Look at character (likes and dislikes)
One of the best guides in buying a ring is looking at your partner's character - dislikes and likes. Do they love bling, or prefers simple things? Some people won't even mind a simple band for an engagement ring, while for others, it's all about the big bling.
Take note of their style and accessory choices and you should get a clear indication.
Just ask
You're probably thinking that would spoil the surprise, but your partner doesn't need to know what it is you're actually asking. There are so many wedding shows on TV right now, you could easily watch one with them and comment on the ring. They key here is to listen carefully to what their opinions are and take it into account when buying the ring.
As long as you keep it nonchalant and within the context of the situation, your partner will be none the wiser.
Go for quality
You don't need to spend hundreds of thousands of Rands to get a quality ring. While it will probably be a bit more pricy that others, if you can, you should try and get one. Consider the 4 C's - cut, colour, clarity and carat weight if you are buying a diamond ring, and have a look at the gold quality too.
Remember this ring should be able to withstand every day life and tasks, so try and get the best quality you can afford.

PanCancer IO 360
Currently, evaluating immunotherapy responders from non-responders requires flow cytometry to analyze tumor immune Infiltrate. However, flow cytometry requires cells from fresh tissue, only a single sample can be sorted at a time, and the sorting process is slow. NanoString has created a novel gene expression panel to separate check point inhibitor responders from non-responders. The PanCancer IO 360 Gene Expression Panel is a 770-gene expression panel that combines vital components involved in the complex interplay between the tumor, microenvironment and immune response in cancer allowing for a multifaceted characterization of disease biology and interrogation of mechanisms of immune evasion.
There are several advantages of this panel over flow cytometry: 1) fresh tissue is not required, 2) you can conduct analysis on 12 samples at a time, 3) the analysis is fast, and 4) you receive a Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TIL) abundance score for each sample, making it easy to determine if your treatment had an effect on Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs)

Becoming hurt in an accident, such as a slip and fall or a dog bite can leave you with both physical and emotional scars. How do you determine who is responsible? If you happen to be wondering this yourself, you definitely need to seek the help of a professional lawyer in order to get what you should.
Do not forget your lost income when assessing the impact of your injuries. This will document all of the times where you lost money due to your injury. Additionally, you can include any money lost because you couldn’t attend your college classes.
With regards to hiring a personal injury attorney, you must meet with multiple lawyers prior to selecting one. Many offer free consultations to see if they can handle your case. In such meetings, you can learn about anticipated costs so that you can make a wise decision.
Many lawyers use flashy advertisements to mask their inability to win cases. Besides the stigma that goes along with flashy television ads, it is also near impossible to tell how sincere an attorney is based solely on an advertisement. You should rely more heavily on the results of an in-person meeting prior to choosing your lawyer.
Do not miss any doctor’s appointments when you suffer an injury. You should have proof that you are trying to treat your injuries. When you do not attend these checkups, your credibility is reduced.
When getting an attorney, sign a retainer agreement. You will know the fees you have to pay the lawyer in advance, preventing surprises in the future. If you are unable to pay a large amount up-front, your agreement should include your payment terms, and be sure to include a severance clause in case wish to part ways for any reasons.
If you’ve been injured, you may be entitled to compensation. However, simply knowing the information isn’t enough. You now have to apply it to your real-life situation if you want to be compensated. As long as you do what you should, you will win your case, as you should.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
I need to transform an sql query to a Linq to SQL query, and i could'nt get the result what i expect: I have 2 tables, Base, M tables
MID (FK) , points to M
MChildID(FK, Nullable), points to M
M {
The Simplified select:
SELECT * from BaseOne as f
LEFT JOIN M as m ON ISNULL(f.MChildID, f.MID) = m.ID
I tried this:
from f in BaseOne
from m in M.Where(function(x) If(f.MChildID.HasValue,x.ID.Equals(f.MChildID.Value),x.ID.Equals(f.MID.Value))).DefaultIfEmpty
It generated this SQL:
WHEN [t0].[MID] IS NOT NULL THEN
WHEN [t1].[ID] = ([t0].[MID]) THEN 1
WHEN NOT ([t1].[ID] = ([t0].[MID])) THEN 0
ELSE NULL
WHEN [t1].[ID] = ([t0].[MChildID]) THEN 1
WHEN NOT ([t1].[ID] = ([t0].[MChildID])) THEN 0
ELSE NULL
END)) = 1
I followed these instructions but this example is not exaclty what i try to do.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried VB's binary if() operator?
from baseOne in BaseOne _
join m in M on if(baseOne.MChildID,baseOne.MID) equals m.ID _
select baseOne,m
It produces a COALESCE, which is similar to ISNULL.
FROM [BaseOne] AS [t0]
INNER JOIN [M] AS [t1] ON (COALESCE([t0].[MChildID],[t0].[MID])) = [t1].[ID]

Everything You Should Know About the IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act
The Internet of Things (IoT) Cybersecurity Improvement Act was signed into law in December 2020 to guide the acquisition of smart devices for the United States federal government, but it impacts much more than just government equipment. These devices depend upon application programming interfaces (APIs) to connect to other applications and items, each of which can introduce additional vulnerabilities.
Cybersecurity continues to evolve at breakneck speed in our increasingly connected world, and is driving the need for standards and guidance to keep our connectivity secure. The IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act is one example of such legislation.
This guide will explain everything you need to know about the Act, including what it is, what it is intended to do, and what it means for the future of IoT.
Emerging Trends: Have You Heard of Zero Trust Security?
Digging Into the IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act
In the hypercompetitive computer and electronics space, there is always a rush to be the first to market. That sometimes means the process of robust testing for security vulnerabilities in the devices and their APIs is left by the wayside. A few things to know:
• The IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act leverages the purchasing power of the U.S. government to incentivize companies to ensure the devices they create and sell are secure.
• This law is an attempt to make manufacturers responsible for ensuring their devices and APIs are secure by testing with other third-parties.
• APIs allow services, software, and devices to communicate, powering the IoT.
• Cybercriminals can use APIs as a backdoor into organizations, where they can gain access to hardware, software, and sensitive or proprietary data.
This is important for a lot of reasons. Verizon has noted that while 71% of breaches were financially motivated, 25% were a result of espionage. Hackers can use these devices every day to communicate, operate your voice-activated device, schedule or attend a virtual doctors’ appointment, operate your wearable fitness tracker, and more.
The law has multiple aspects:
• It tasks the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) with publishing standards and guidelines for managing security risks from the federal government’s use of IoT devices.
• It compels the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to review the government’s information security policies and update per NIST recommendations, including those for federal civilian agencies.
• The law requires the NIST and OMB to update the IoT standards at a minimum of every five years.
• The act prohibits the purchase or use of any device that doesn’t comply with its requirements, except for certain mission-critical devices subject to a waiver.
• The law requires federal agencies to implement vulnerability-disclosure policies for IoT devices.
Though the intent is to place guidelines around the purchase and use of government electronics, the implications are much further reaching. Let’s look at why this law is an important step in advancing cybersecurity.
Further Reading: What is a CISO?
Why This Legislation Is Critical
Globally, online security and the threat from connected devices is growing, fueled in unexpected ways. These include, but are not limited to, the following scenarios.
Global Health Crisis
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced more companies to quickly adopt cloud technologies and other services. Unfortunately, the speed at which they must be operational — combined with the lack of adequate security training and expertise to configure or test the solutions — provides a perfect opportunity for hackers. Bad actors wait for opportunities that inadequate security affords them.
Connected Infrastructure
Consider the IoT as the perfect superspreader event for highly dangerous and infectious viruses, Trojan horses, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, and ransomware throughout homes, businesses, and the government at the speed of 5G. What just a few years ago would have affected a few million users would now pale in comparison to the billions likely impacted. Now consider what that could do when it reaches critical infrastructure, hospitals, utilities, or the defense department. It could, quite literally, stop us in our tracks, shutting down communication, causing chaos, and making the country vulnerable to its enemies. On the other hand, breaching sensitive government data could impact the country and the world at a different level.
GeoPolitical Influence
The Wikileaks breach, which saw 20,000 emails confiscated and disseminated from servers containing communication between Hillary Clinton and others in the DNC, may have affected the outcome of the 2016 presidential elections. Around that same time, the Mirai botnet caused widespread internet outages, attributed largely to insecure IoT devices. In 2018, 19 Chinese individuals, 18 Russians, 11 Iranians, and one North Korean were indicted for their state-sponsored espionage against the United States.
Domestic Unrest
The most recent cybersecurity concern was the 2020 presidential election, a holdover from rumors of Russian interference in the 2016 election and fueling concerns about whether it could potentially be hacked by foreign governments to influence the outcome. There was a concerted effort by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to ensure the integrity of the election. A nationwide effort was also conducted through public-private cooperation.
The truth is that countless pieces of data — both accurate and inaccurate — and a growing number of device connections can reach billions of readers in no time at all. In the wrong hands, or used by the wrong types of individuals, each can wreak havoc.
Additional Info: What is the IoT Cybersecurity Foundation?
The Legislative Obstacles in Getting It Passed
The IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act was a result of several years of bipartisan effort. While there was little dissent that there was a need for more cybersecurity measures, there were still challenges to getting federal legislation passed.
The definition of IoT devices is extremely broad in the context of the law. There is no detail on the class or type of devices, and they are described loosely as any device that can connect to the internet and receive, collect, or send data. Critics call for a more detailed definition of IoT devices, including which devices are included and excluded.
Research Exemptions
There are also complaints of ambiguity in which research studies can be exempt from the guidelines. It seeks to add amendments to the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to exempt security researchers “acting in good faith” from liability, yet it doesn’t specify what types, models, or class of devices are included. Detractors voiced concern that it will prevent companies from participating in critical research partnerships.
Push Back From Industry
One of the first opponents of the bill was the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which claimed the law would unfairly burden the industry. This echoed complaints from businesses that would be subject to the guidelines and its potential ramifications.
In all these examples, the emergent need for legislation to set the wheels in motion for a cybersecurity framework overrode the concerns. The fact that it was the first promoting vulnerability disclosure in the private sector was a key to the unanimous passage. It was an important milestone, but the ultimate resolution to tighten definitions, identify and close loopholes, and enforce accountability will be a multifaceted evolution. Establishing more robust security standards will take a concerted effort from the government as well as private businesses.
Did You Know? Healthcare IoT Cybersecurity is on the Rise
What the Law Means for Our Future
Now that it is enacted, there are some things to watch for as the IoT space evolves under the new legislation:
Businesses have so far been reluctant to release details of known vulnerabilities in their devices or APIs as they release products in a rush to market to avoid inviting hackers to test them or giving an advantage to their competitors. The law requires contractors and subcontractors in the government supply chain to have a vulnerability disclosure policy, with the intent to better inform government purchases. However, the ultimate benefit of holding multiple stakeholders accountable throughout the device lifecycle is improved end-user transparency on known risks for the IoT devices and, hopefully, more robust security.
Better IoT device protection will evolve from more public/private partnerships. Cybersecurity experts will collaborate to help craft best practices and industry standards, informing the development of government security guidelines. A more holistic view will prevent loopholes unwittingly created by too narrow a perspective.
Consumer security
Though the bill was focused on the federal government, the fallout impacts the consumer market. Industry-led partnerships with the federal government will necessitate a singular, overarching set of guidelines to streamline the production of all IoT devices. Some manufacturers may choose not to sell products to the government in an attempt to circumvent the regulations. However, increasing scrutiny will bring more pressure to bear on all manufacturers to comply.
Universal standards
The IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act will not be the end. Definitions are too broad and ambiguous, and it does not address the specific security guidelines, making compliance difficult. In the U.S., there are myriad state and industry standards that must somehow be brought together to ensure consistent adherence. We then need to watch how the international community responds to work toward global security.
The next year, particularly, will bring fresh challenges. Between the rapidly increasing threats, the continued need for more virtual connectivity in commerce and education, competition between computer and electronics manufacturers, and the new legislation, companies will have to up their cybersecurity efforts in a material way.
Trending Topics: IoT and Smart Cities
Investing in Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly critical in our hyperconnected world. Mounting pressure has prompted efforts by states and foreign governments, such as California’s first state law to address IoT cybersecurity, similar legislation to our federal act by the EU, and a rating system for IoT devices in Singapore. The IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act is a catalyst that could impel industry and governments to work together to improve guidelines for ensuring safer and more secure devices while detailing specific penalties for noncompliance.
It can also lead to uncertainties for businesses when deciding on where to focus their cybersecurity investments in the interim, however. Contact Option3Ventures today to speak with an expert about any cybersecurity investment questions you might have.

Men involved in the Eastern Slave Trade were used much less because there wasn't asmuch of a demand for agricultural labor inthe Middle east as there was in the Western Hemishere. As a result of this many men were killed so they couldn't free their wifes or daughters. This was until the `19th contrary were the demand for agricultural labor increased. *resources - Interestingly enough, Slave owners would not convert their slaves to Islam immediatly, where theywould have less rights. Slaves where able to stay Muslim where they would have more rights to manumission. The slaves were treated more likehumans than cattle. The Arab slave Trade focused on shipping slaves to middle Eastern markets. Slaves were packed tightly in boats called dhows. Many died from starvation/ decease. The main port was Zanzibar, Tanzania. When the slaves arrived, they were tied to a tree and where whipped, those who did not cry out or faint wereworth more money. They were then out on stands on the site tobe displayed and bought. Those who didn't get bought, got killed. Although, Zanzibar was the mainport, there was also Kilwa, and Quilimane.

Computer games- from entertainment to addiction
Bibliography and Acknowledgement
Research and Findings
Background Information
Group Reflections
From this project, we learnt many things about computer games. Nowadays some teenagers may get addicted to computer games, but we found out that most of the teenagers can control themselves and play less than half an hour each day. Computer games maybe harmful to us because it can be harmful to brain development, causes teenagers to read less, encourage violence and make them to spend less time with their family members. computer games also have advantages as it can make us develop better thinking skills, train us to be more cooperate etc.
Anyway, we hope there will not be any people addicted to computer games, wish you good luck!

Let's just say I had interesting pets as a child.
Growing up, most kids got puppies or kittens as their family pet. Not us. My sisters and I wanted some cooler...something unique.
Like a raccoon.
Yep, you read that right. Growing up we had several raccoons (throughout the course of many years) as house pets, and it was awesome. Turns out, they're like a dog/cat hybrid, which is the best. Pictured above is my younger sister holding the original Oonafurse. I'm not sure where the name Oonafurse came from, but every single raccoon we ever had was named Oonafurse, AKA Oonie Coon. There was probably five or six total over the course of my childhood.
Now, there's some things you need to learn before getting a pet raccoon. First of all, you have to be certified to have a raccoon as a pet. We didn't, which isn't right, but since when have I been the best at following the rules?
Secondly, you can't just snatch a raccoon out of the wild. They need to be very young when you take them in, but not totally dependent on their mother still. In many situations, we rescued the baby raccoon. For example, their mother was hit by a car or they were seen wandering the streets all by themselves.
Now let's skip to the fun part. Raccoons are so much fun. They love to be scratched and clean things with their hands before eating. It's the cutest thing. We used to put minnows in the sink or bath and let the raccoons fish for them. They also love to play and run around. If you scratch them, sometimes they purr like a cat. Oh, and if you have a cereal cabinet...keep it locked. I can't tell you how many times I had to drag Oonie out of the Lucky Charms. It was a battle every time.
When it's time to release them, it's always sad to see them go. But, just like every other wild animal, they belong outdoors with their own kind. We give them a temporary home and show them love and Lucky Charms, then we let them go.
I love my dog, don't get me wrong, but raccoons also make some pretty rad pets. Just do it the right way if you're going to do it.

desperately seeking positive
I am desperately seeking positive thoughts right now. Let's look at the pros and cons of my current condition:
Pros: I had heartburn for the first time in my life last night. Symptom or just too much meatloaf? The sore bb's are nothing new. I always have those after ovulating. The cramps are freaking me out...I really can't associate them with anything good, although I know they aren't necessarily bad. I am pretty sure my other symptoms are just psychosomatic.
Cons: Last night I read that peppermint tea and flax seed oil are on the no-no list for pregnancy. Hello? How was I supposed to know this? Guess what I have been consuming EVERY day. Yup. I have already cut out cold food, all caffeine (except a little chocolate...a girl's gotta live), most sugar (see previous confession about chocolate), alcohol, dairy (acupuncturist), peas and tofu (Julia Indichova). Ok, deep breath. It's not like I've been consuming arsenic milkshakes...
So, I asked my Sweetie to fill our days with distractions (read, movies) and he said, "Are you getting worried?" Yes. I am just feeling negative to neutral with fewer and fewer "this could be it" moments. I'm not hopeless, but you know: a hundred times burned....In better news, I did get permission to go in for the beta test a day early.
1. You are not supposed to eat peas? I swear there is something new all the time! I am basically staying away from caffeine, alcohol and too much salt. But I haven't POAS yet so couldn't tell you if it is working...
The cramping sounds like a good sign to me! How many more days to beta then? I am down to 5.
2. Totally sending you happy thoughts. I was reading through your blog but couldn't find out the number that were transferred. But goodness! 23 fertilized that is spectacular.
Can't wait to hear about the positive beta!

You're the smartest man I've ever met.
Jane: You always have every angle covered.
Erick: Don't you?
Erika: I always think of you as having a plan but never admitting it.
Jane: Funny, that's how I think of you.
Jane: Just a trick.
Jane: I didn't say it was an easy trick.
The people who built this jail were nice enough to put doors in the walls. Why don't they just use them?
We just caught you in a warehouse full of stolen vehicles. You're the one who should be trying to make a deal with me. If you're too stupid to see that, I don't know what value you have for the FBI.
It felt so good not to live a lie anymore. Scary too. I don't know what's going to happen, if he's going to stick around or...
Jane: You want to know how I got her to lower her guard?
Lisbon: How?
Jane: I lowered my own.
Promise me you'll wear the flip flops when you shower. Hear me out. A, you look less attractive which should be considered and B. the floor is a petri dish.
Don't tell a whole lot of little lies, just one big lie is enough and everything else just stays the same.
I think we know what feels right and I think that that should be our guide.

I am waiting for Skyrim but I never played any other games of the Elder Scrolls series. Where can I find more info about the lore of Elder Scrolls series, in general, so that I can start reading something before the release?
• I started TES at Morrowwind and had no idea what was going on. The most important things to know are the races and skills. But from what I hear the skill tree has changed... so we're all back on square one. – Coomie Nov 3 '11 at 2:44
• @Coomie Hehe, i started with Morrowind aswell, and had no clue what was going on... all i did was run around stealing, hitting people with my sword and casting some magic while doing quests. Later on with oblivion i had the same thing, except then i closed some oblivion gates... No clue about any part of story tho. – Lyrion Nov 3 '11 at 8:19
The Elder Scrolls Wiki has a History category that has all the information you could ever want.
It will recap the entire plotline of all the previous games for you.
That being said, however, each game has a stand-alone plotline. There are references thrown in for hardcore fans, but they are generally easter eggs, not important plot elements.
Especially pertinent here is that Skyrim takes place in a different part of the world, 200 years after Oblivion. Its plot will have little to do with past plots. You will be able to fully enjoy Skyrim without any prior research.

• For future readers: A certain side-plot in Dawnguard provides a very brief plot summary of Oblivion, if you pick the right dialog options. It conveniently omits the ending, making it effectively spoiler-free. – Kevin Mar 4 '18 at 22:43
If you really want to know, you'd better plan on spending all your time up until the 11th reading it... Elder Scrolls has a lot of lore, much (most?) of it in the form of in-game books. Fortunately, the vast majority of it is just background about the world and stories told by its inhabitants with no direct impact on gameplay (aside from certain books giving you a skill point the first time you open them).
My recommendation would be to not worry too much about it in advance and instead take the time to pay attention to what NPCs tell you and actually read the books you find in game (most are only a couple hundred words, tops) rather than just flipping them open to see if you get a skill, then immediately closing them.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
when my event fires the following code get's run:
WebBrowser browser = new WebBrowser();
browser.Size = new Size(500, 500);
browser.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
if (supportingInfo != null)
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(supportingInfo.Summary))
if (browser.Document != null)
browser.DocumentText = "<html>" + supportingInfo.Summary + "</html>";
catch (Exception ex)
throw ex;
I've debugged and every line of this get's run, but no new browser window opens with my dynamic html. What am I missing to make the window open with my html in it?
Thanks for all the help.

Why should it open new Window? – DeveloperX Nov 16 '11 at 21:52

You need to add the WebBrowser control you just created to the form/panel you want it to dock on. e.g.
You're just creating an instance of the browser and settings it's properties. No where have you actually added it visually.

Thanks for the help. I added the control directly to my form, and ran the same code (minus creating the WebBrowser instance) and it ran perfectly. Thank you very much for the prompt reply! – AlexScript Nov 16 '11 at 22:05
Looks like you are missing browser.Show()

Show won't do anything until the controls been added. – George Johnston Nov 16 '11 at 21:56
Show will open it in a new window, which is what I assumed he wanted since he mentioned no new window opened. – Nikkoli Nov 16 '11 at 22:01
I had tried browser.Show() but that did not resolve it in my case. – AlexScript Nov 16 '11 at 22:03

3 viral hoaxes about Wuhan Corona Virus
Corona Virus is now trending as the world number one news, even beating the sad news of the death of the famous basketball legend, Kobe Bryant. Indeed, this one virus should be wary of because of the impact that can be life-threatening. But, many parties are using public awareness and concerns by spreading hoax news about this virus.
So far, there are at least four hoaxes spread about this corona virus, where the truth is very doubtful.
1. Derived from Bat Soup
Eating bat soup has become a Chinese habit, not least in the Wuhan area, an area thought to be the origin of the corona virus. No doubt, the habit of eating bat soup is said to be the initial cause of the emergence of this virus. In fact, the fact is that the Chinese people have been consuming bat soup for a long time, so how can the virus just appear now?
Moreover, so far there has been no authentic evidence that bats are the origin of the Corona virus.
2. The Chinese Way to Control the Country’s Economy
Along with the emergence of this virus, many assume that there really is a closed conspiracy. The Chinese government is blamed, they are accused of having a vaccine to cure or destroy this virus, but deliberately keep it. The main objective is to control the country’s economy. When many have been infected, the government will sell it at a high price.
In fact, the fact is the Chinese government is still struggling to create a vaccine that can kill this dangerous virus.
3. Have Killed Hundreds Thousands of Lives
The news circulated that the corona virus has killed hundreds of thousands of people and infected millions of people worldwide. But clearly, this information is mere hoax. So far, only 2,800 patients have been infected with the virus and have killed around 80 people.
4. Will acting like a zombie
There are also photos circulating claiming that people infected with the Corona virus will act like Zombies. Seriously, Zombies are movie fiction characters. So far, there is no single virus that makes someone behave like a zombie. Instead the person will fall weak, cough, and body temperature rise.

Unlike with normal 8 balls, you never have to experience that dreadful suspense you get after you've decided to base a major life decision on the ball's response but before you get the answer. Just phrase every question so that the ideal answer is 'it is decidedly so' or 'without a doubt'. Your own personal, "impartial" yes man.

Stock Market Tips That Will Work For You
Trading in stocks is one way for a person to make money and save for their future financial security. The methods for investing will vary, depending on what your goals are and what your risk tolerance is. No matter which stocks strike your interest or how much you have to invest, you really need to ascertain a solid understanding of the market fundamentals. This article contains some great investing tips that can help you to understand the market.
Before you spend money on an investment broker, you need to do exhaustive research to ensure they’re trustworthy and reliable. Investigating an investment broker’s background is the best way to protect yourself from investment fraud.
It is prudent to have an investment account with high bearing interest that holds six months of your salary, just in case you need to use it in an emergency. The money can help you get by financially while you deal with sudden events such as losing your job or facing large medical expenses.
Check and recheck your portfolio often to keep it on track for success. Because there are always fluctuations in the economy, it is important to keep your portfolio current. Various companies may have become obsolete as certain sectors start to outperform other sectors. Depending on the current state of the economy, certain financial companies may be wiser investments. Track your portfolio and adjust when necessary.
Never invest primarily in one company’s stock. Though you can certainly support your own company by making a stock purchase, it is important to limit how much you buy. If your company should suffer and the stock loses all its value, you could experience a significant financial loss and have very negative feelings toward your employer.
Do your research about a company before investing in it. Too many people discover an exciting new company and invest in it before doing enough research. Then, this business does not do as well as anticipated, and the investors lose lots of money.
Be flexible when you are considering stock prices. The more spent on an asset in comparison to the profit it will give, the less return you will receive. Waiting a week or so for a stock that is unattractive at $50 to drop to a more reasonable $30 is a wiser decision.
Smaller Companies
When you first start investing, stick with the larger, “blue chip” companies. In a lot of cases, investing in large companies is relatively safe and helps you build a solid portfolio. Later on, once you have gained more experience, branching out to smaller companies will be less stressful and much less risky. Understand that smaller companies have the potential to grow substantially, but they are also a higher risk.
Try investing in dividend-paying stocks. So, should the stock’s value decrease, you will still get a dividend and offset part of your losses. If the price increases, you will have an even higher profit margin. They can also generate periodic income.
For some investors, healthy dividends are one of the most important aspects of an investment. Older people in particular need to have a stable stock that will provide them with strong dividends. Businesses who have a good year either invest their profits back into their company or pay out dividends to shareholders. Understanding a dividend’s yield is very important, which is simply annual dividends divided by the price of the stock.
If you are hoping to get a large return on your capital, then using a constrain strategy could be the best option. Doing this means seeking out stocks that have slipped past the notice of other investors. Search for value in companies that aren’t appreciated enough. If everyone else wants to buy a stock, its price may be too high. That will leave you with no upside. If you find small companies with positive earnings, you can identify a rose in the concrete.
As you can see, investing in the stock market can be fun and exciting. Regardless of whether you are interested in investing in stocks, stock options, or mutual funds, you can apply the advice you have learned here to ensure you get the most from your investments.

Biarri Networks has a wide range of capabilities that span across the entire end-to-end delivery of Fiber Networks. Learn about how you can innovate across your approach, data, tech and people to achieve better results.
It’s a simple question how much spare fiber optic capacity should be placed in the network and where?
It can have a massive impact on your costs, too much and you’re wasting capex, too little and your opex costs go through the roof. Coming up with the right answer is not as easy as it might seem. The question is not how much fiber optic capacity do we need long term, but how do we get the capacity when we need it?
The Main Mistake: The wrong amount of spare fiber optic capacity in the wrong spot
Take a hypothetical simple 3 tier home run FTTP network (no splitters):
• At first glance, it looks like we could have 12x DPs (Demand Points) per MPT (Multiport), and 12x MPTs per FDH (Fiber Distribution Hub).
• However, the expected average take-up is 50% so that means up to 24x DPs per MPT.
• There is also an expected growth in DPs of 20%, so 20x DPs per MPT (24 / 120%) is possible. This places all the spare capacity at the MPT which will mean every new DP has only a drop to build so minimal construction and an overall minimal build.
• But the growth in DPs isn’t evenly distributed. Half of the growth is new clusters of 20 DPs, and the other half is scattered throughout the existing DPs. Now, the answer might be 22x DPs per MPT, and 11 MPTs per FDH.
• It is expected to take a number of years to achieve that take up. So if we take the time value of money into account, it will be better to delay some build until it is required. Now the answer might be 24 DPs per MPT, and 10 MPTs per FDH.
• However, the distribution of take up is highly variable. Some MPTs will fill up much quicker than others and so then the answer might be 20 DPs per MPT, and 10 MPTs per FDH.
As you can see, as more pieces of information get added to the calculation, the optimal distribution and quantity of spare will change. Add to this the other factors discussed above and it’s easy to see why some carriers don’t even attempt to run a model and thus make so many costly mistakes. Being able to model these variables and run simulations becomes a powerful tool in identifying how much spare capacity to place at each point in the network. It can also help understand what the cost implications are for different sparing rules, both for short and long term costs.
The other aspect to consider is the cost difference between the minimal capacity option and the higher capacity option. For example, when choosing between a 144f cable and a 288f cable:
• Cost of 144f cable now = $20/m
• Cost of a 288f cable now = $21/m
• Cost of a future second 144f cable = $10/m (Net Present Value)
If there is a 20% chance that a 144f cable will be insufficient long term, then the cost of installing a 144f cable first is $20 + $10*20% = $22/m, therefore the architecture is better to specify that a 288f cable is required.
How can we overcome these challenges?
As stated above some carriers don’t even attempt to run a model and thus they end up making a lot of costly mistakes.
Through automation and optimization across FTTx network design, we can re-evaluate how to simulate fiber optic capacity across a network. With detailed designs running at the core of a simulation, you can be far more confident across long term growth and ongoing strain across your fiber network.
Want to see how we do it? Why not schedule a workshop today?
A 2013 study on Australia’s National Broadband Network, 3 years into the rollout, found that capex savings of over 25% on the FTTP rollout could have been easily achieved with no flow on negative effect simply through changes to the architecture. This national effort aims to bring robust broadband to all of Australia, and has extensive urban and rural components. A further 15% of savings were identified but not pursued as it may have caused an increase to the operational expenses. Below are a number of items that, if well planned, can make a tangible difference in the success of any FTTx network rollout.
Mistake 1: Only looking at homes
Many FTTx networks begin with a goal to serve homes. But getting to those homes means passing a whole range of other locations with revenue potential. Maybe they won’t fit into the business model, but not considering a full range of opportunities puts an FTTx network at a disadvantage from the start. Some customers want high bandwidth services, some want multiple services, and others want just a basic broadband service, but a well designed architecture will be able to cater to any and all of them without adding much or any complexity.
Mistake 2: Assuming all Multi Premises Sites are much the same
When we first think about sites with multiple premises we think of apartment buildings, but that is just one type. If you try to service a business park using an architecture made for apartments, you are likely to have a network that simply doesn’t match the requirement. Recognizing the variations that exist will help you develop a flexible architecture.
Mistake 3: Simplistic Modelling of network and demand
Draw an “average” street and you can come up with an architecture that achieves perfect utilization. Put that same architecture against a real suburb however and you may find it consistently fails to deliver what it is supposed to. Any proposed architecture needs to be run against a simulator to see how conforming designs respond to different densities, take up, existence or otherwise of duct and aerial infrastructure.
Mistake 4: Underestimating the cost of complexity
“It’s just one more tier in the network”; “It’s just one more technology in the mix”; or “It’s just one more service offering”. They may seem innocuous, but the cumulative effect can multiply. Not all complexity is bad, but recognizing the cost is important in determining whether to proceed.
Mistake 5: Assuming staff will follow instructions
Human behavior can be unpredictable, but one thing is certain, people will sometimes fail to read or understand or follow instructions. The result is delays, rework, and poor quality, which can happen at each stage of the process. But what does this have to do with architecture? There are a number of things that can be done in defining an architecture that minimizes the frequency or impact of these instances all the way through the chain.
Before looking at specifics, it is useful to understand the causes of this behavior. It’s not that people are malicious or careless — usually.
Mistake 6: Not planning for change
In our industry, the only constant is change. Our challenge is that fiber equipment such as cables and splice joints have an expected life of 20+ years, so how do we ensure we can get 20 years of valuable use from it? We can’t predict what will happen in one, five, or ten years, let alone 20 years. Nonetheless, ignoring the potential for change is a recipe for disaster.
How can we overcome these challenges?
Old methods of planning and designing FTTx networks can no longer support the complexities of FTTx deployments. We need to adapt with new technologies, compare the real underlying costs from plan, design and construction through to maintenance and we need to be able to be certain, to the best of our abilities that we’re making the right decisions.
Data. It seems every network project I’ve encountered has been stuck at this stage. As a design software vendor we are very attuned to the importance of consistent and comprehensive data (software tends to complain loudly and relentlessly if data is poor), but typically my customers are already aware of the challenge. The planning team have clutter in the address set, the design team have a duct (conduit) set in three map projections, and the construction team discover the pole file simply isn’t true.
The underlying problem is an incorrect assumption. Just because the data is useful for its owner, doesn’t mean it will be useful for you.
Not simply an ETL problem
The typical approach is to treat data acquisition as an ETL activity (Extract, Transform, Load). We will extract the data from the source database, transform it into the format and structure we need, and then load into our database. The recurring quip at Biarri Networks is “But it made sense when we drew it on the whiteboard.” The solution lies in ‘intelligence’ during the Transform stage, but before solving we need to understand the problem.
Think like an Historian
Where did this data come from and how did the owner make use of it? And critical in this question is whether they had a human-in-the-loop (HiL) process when they used the data.
Let me explain by way of example.
Consider an address set provided by a postal service. A major irritation is when there are duplicates in the data set such as the addresses to be served. Sometimes these can be perfect duplicates such as two rows with an entry for 123 Main Street. Your data team have probably already configured the ETL to find and resolve these.
Other times the duplicate can be more subtle such as 123 Main Street and 123 Main St (note the abbreviation). Or it could be a compound addresses such as Unit 4 123-127 Main Street. From the postal service point of view, the duplicates are harmless; they know there will only be one letterbox for the mail to be delivered to. A human will resolve the ambiguity. For the fibre project it is a different matter. By not eliminating these duplicates you risk over servicing the premise at Unit 4 123 Main St with multiple fibre allocations.
Internal inconsistencies
There was never a single source data set. Just because you were handed a single file, doesn’t mean it was created that way. Mergers and acquisitions may have resulted in a mega data set that is similar in format and structure only.
A classic case is land parcels which are typically defined by polygons. While the notion of discrete parcels with discrete owners is a cornerstone of our economy, there are numerous ways to represent the information often with different jurisdictions applying their own policy. One may represent sub-divisions as two distinct polygons overlaid on the original parcel – resulting in three overlapping parcels. Others may remove the original. And in more complex subdivisions there may be the private parcels and the common owned parcels interlocking like a jigsaw, all overlaid on the original parcel. Town planners and architects will be familiar with the local policy and so from their perspective the data is consistent and usable, but if your project spans jurisdictions you should expect each to have generated their data in a different manner. Unless you can detect and resolve these you risk process churn and confusion in your team.
Missing and erroneous data
Where a third party provides infrastructure data such as poles or conduit, we frequently assume the data will be correct and complete. For instance the geometric path of the conduit will match the physical world.
This ignores the maxim “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. When that third party built the infrastructure they needed reasonable data, but once in operation they have little interest in maintaining it, other than when a fault occurs. So if their infrastructure is stable, and the rare times there is a fault the service agent in the field uses initiative to fill in the gaps, the third party has no incentive to maintain their data.
Unless you establish a process and culture that is tolerant to these errors and omissions you risk creating a system that spends more time in feedback and rectification than in progressing the build of your network.
Free data. Sometimes it is the gift that keeps on taking.
When people discover that I work in telecommunications, helping some of the biggest fiber optic projects around the world, they invariably ask me why the projects are much harder than expected.
That got me thinking, what is it about the fiber projects that makes them so hard, and are they unique?
I’ve spoken before about the inherent complexity of the network and the tens of thousands of elements that connect a suburb, but here I want to talk about the project.
I think all engineering projects have their challenges, but what sets fiber apart is that it shares complexity across numerous engineering disciplines.
Each street is the same but different – Automotive process engineering
Just like manufacturing a car, the building of the network requires repetition of activities in each suburb or street, however there are differences in each. Just like a customer may order leather seats or some other option on a car that is otherwise identical to the next one on the line, each fiber area will be assembled with the same equipment but differ. One may have a university that requires special handling, or a major road that will be difficult to build across, or a new development with multiple entrances. Each will require variation that must be decided in consultation with several experts, and then tracked to completion.
Working with the public – Road engineering
Car manufacturing occurs in the controlled environment of a factory, whereas fiber projects occur in the public space. So in that sense fiber projects share many challenges with a road project. Wherever the network is to be constructed, residents need to be informed, traffic control implemented and various permits for acquired. But unlike a road, the fiber has to be built into each house, requiring coordination with each private land-owner.
Not knowing what will be found when digging down – Civil engineering
While the network is fiber, the bulk of the activities, and source of project risk, is in the ‘civils’. Where a network is installed underground, new conduit must be laid either by trenching or boring. In either case it requires digging through ground. While you may have geologic surveys that tell you the soil type, you never know where the rock that will stall you is.
Progress can’t be seen with our eyes – Wireless engineering
On most civil engineering projects there is ‘line of sight’. Stand in the right place and an experienced manager can gauge the progress of the project. The frame to 10th floor is complete, or the bridge footings are in place. A fiber project is distributed and either underground or, if done well, unobtrusive. A manager is entirely reliant on data to gauge the progress of the project. There is no easy source for gut feel. In this sense it like a wireless network where you are reliant on accurate data to tell you what can’t be seen.
Tie it all together virtually – Network/software engineering
Which leads to the last challenge. The physical network is operated virtually. So accurate records have to be mapped to software that manages customers, billing and the data traffic. And this needs to be ready when the wireless, civil, road, and process engineering challenges are sorted.
As you can see, while the goal of the project is to get an 8 micrometer strand of glass to each house (and then shoot light down it), there is plenty of complexity to be addressed.Engineering Industry Value Chain
I’m sure each engineering project is hard, but it seems this combination for fiber projects makes them unique. I take my hat off to the folks who coordinate all this.

Japan's Loss in WWII
Would Japan have launched its surprise attack on Pearl Harbour if its leaders had known this act of aggression would result in the inconceivable devastation of nuclear war?
According to military historian Cristopher Bassford this confounding of the best laid plans of military strategists is "what Clausewitz called 'friction,' stemming from war's uncertainty, chance, suffering, confusion, exhaustion, and fear. Friction stems from the effects of time, space, and human nature; it is the fundamental and unavoidable force that makes war in reality differ from the abstract model of 'absolute war'" (Bassford 1).
In order to understand what led the Japanese to expand from their islands out into the surrounding countries of Asia and engage in the fateful attack on the United States that eventually brought about their own downfall, it is necessary to consider what their history, interests, and intentions were.
"Japan entered World War II with limited aims and with the intention of fighting a limited war" (Matloff 499). It's goals were similar to, and perhaps modelled on the colonial conquests of the European nations which originated from the voyages of discovery in the 15th century and continued well into the 20th century. It wanted to secure the resources that it sorely lacked on its island chain by militarily dominating its Asian neighbors.
In the late 19th century Japan was forced to open its

Halted Issue
DEFINITION of 'Halted Issue'
A planned security offering that does not go forward as planned. A halted issue can relate to an initial public offering (IPO) that will no longer occur, or to a bond issue that has been canceled, along with any other form of security offering that does not go on as originally expected. While an issue may be halted for any variety of reasons, a halted issue is often the result of an unexpected event that the market perceives as negative for the issuer.
BREAKING DOWN 'Halted Issue'
For example, a company that plans to issue a corporate bond at a given coupon may have to halt the issue if a situation arises where its bond rating is reduced, causing interest in the bond to fall dramatically, to the point where the bond issue is no longer feasible. When an IPO is halted, the firm may find that the capital markets are not looking kindly on other recent IPOs within its industry and choose to halt the issue at that time.

CVD Graphene Films
CVD Graphene Films are known to have the highest quality, however, the properties of polycrystalline materials are often dominated by the size of their grains and by the atomic structure of their grain boundaries. These effects are especially pronounced in two-dimensional materials, where even a line defect can divide and disrupt a crystal. These issues take on practical significance in graphene, a hexagonal two-dimensional crystal of carbon atoms; Single-atom-thick graphene sheets can now be produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on up to meter scales, making their polycrystallinity almost unavoidable. Theoretically, graphene grain boundaries are predicted to have distinct electronic, magnetic, chemical, and mechanical properties which strongly depend on their atomic arrangement. Yet, because of the five-order-of-magnitude size difference between grains and the atoms at grain boundaries, few experiments have fully explored the graphene grain structure. Images reveal an unexpectedly small and intricate patchwork of grains connected by tilt boundaries. Correlating grain imaging with scanned probe and transport measurements, shows that these grain boundaries dramatically weaken the mechanical strength of graphene membranes, but do not as dramatically alter their electrical properties. This opens a new window for studies on the structure, properties, and control of grains and grain boundaries in graphene and other two-dimensional materials.
What is Graphene?
CVD Graphene Transfer
CVD graphene transfer is available for substrates such as PET that can’t withstand the CVD Graphene Synthesis processing temperatures. The CVD Graphene film can be transferred to other substrates by a variety of methods such as using solvents to release the film from the substrate in a liquid medium and floating it onto a different substrate.

TE570 / 610/ TE610-E motor differences
Can anyone give me a quick run-through of the differences engine-wise between the 610 and later 570 model variants of the TE?
And whether there were any significant engine differences between the TE610 and the TE610-E? The latter had a larger sump capacity, but was this just down to a larger external (ie. frame based) oil tank?
Thanks! :thumbsup:
I'll tell you what I know and people who know more can add...... I have an '03 TE610E and had an '01 TE400(TE570's little sybling). TE610(576.28cc,98x76.4) is race version with light weight bottom end that is still based on 1980's Husky 2 stroke, with left side kickstart and right side drive. The original Husky 510TE was an aircooled four stroke top end on 500 2 stroke bottom end. This combination is what made it such a lightweight revolution. The engine had no mechanical oil pump, just a reed valve to help oiling. The watercooled 510 and then the 610 would continue to use the reed valve system until some time in the later 1990's when it would gain a mechanical oil pump. I should point out after Cagiva bought Husky from Electrolux, the 2 stroke Huskys became much more Cagiva like while the 4 strokes stayed very much the same as their Swedish ancestors. I was always amazed at how similar my '82 250WR 2 strokes bottom end was to my '01 TE400's. The 610 designation was use through '00 and in '01 it was changed to 570 to more accurately reflect the discplacement. The 570 was different from the 610 more in frame geometry and ergonomics(new frame and plastics) than engine. This engine continues on in the SMR660 that is Husky's S1 class bike in World Championship.
The TE610E and now for '06, simply called the TE610 as there is no need to differentiate dual sport from enduro model. It shares the same, well proven single cam top end as 610 and 570, but has a new since '98 bottom end that was built as a street bike engine from the start. It has two oil pumps, 2 liter oil capacity, one paper filter and two oil screens(610/570 has single screen), a cush drive in clutch basket, counterbalacer, electric start only since '00 and drive on left and is pretty massive compared 610/570. Long winded, but you asked.
Thanks Norman, that was just the info I was after :thumbsup:
For background of why I'm asking this, I'm considering my next tard project, and I'm looking at all sorts of options from getting another DRZ motor and stroking it (my current bike is a bored & cammed DRZ-E), getting something like a SMR570 off the shelf, building a bike based on a TE, waiting for the new aprilia 550, and numerous other things that rattle through my head from time to time.
Just contrasting the TE & TE-E motors, it sounds like the -E motor would be a good streetable motor, and given its same top end design is it a safe assumption that these motors are about as tunable as the regular TE but just with more weight? Or are there significant pumping losses with the additional oil pumps and such that rob a reasonable amount of performance?
The next bike I build I basically want to get about 60hp at the wheel from, so want to consider my platform carefully.

I picked up a hitchhiker the other day.
Hitchhiker: Gee, thanks man. It’s so hard to get a lift these days. How do you know I’m not a serial killer?
Me: What are the odds that there would be two serial killers in the same car?

Iranian president calls U.S. relations "a curvy road"
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani takes part in a news conference near the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Sept. 22, 2016.
Reuters/Lucas Jackson
TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran's newly re-elected President Hassan Rouhani on Monday called relations with the United States "a curvy road," saying he hoped the Trump administration will "settle down" enough for his nation to better understand it.
Rouhani also criticized Saudi Arabia after it just hosted President Donald Trump's first foreign trip, saying that the kingdom "has never seen a ballot box" while Iran just hosted a successful presidential election in which over 40 million people voted.
"The Americans do not know our region, that's what the catch is," Rouhani said in response to a question from The Associated Press. "Those who provide consultations or advice to the Americans, unfortunately, they are the rulers who either push America awry or with money, they just buy some people in America."
Rouhani decisively won a presidential election on Friday, securing another four-year term. The vote served as a referendum on Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, as well as a vote of confidence that his government will be able to help the country's sputtering economy. Trump has threatened to try to renegotiate the deal.
"We know what we are doing," Rouhani told CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer. "The basis of military power is national power, and this power is from the back of elections. This power is made possible by people going into the ballot boxes."
"Unfortunately, Americans have always made mistakes in our region," Rouhani said. "When they attacked Afghanistan (and) Iraq, when they made sanctions against Iran. In Syria, they made mistakes, and also in Yemen."
At the Tehran press conference, Rouhani also defended Iran's ballistic missile program, something heavily criticized by the Trump administration. In February, just two weeks after taking office, the Trump administration sanctioned more than two dozen people and companies in retaliation for a ballistic missile test, warning it had put the Islamic Republic "on notice."

Digital agencies: the surprising secrets of staying successful
Duncan Hendy, content strategy manager, Kentico, reveals the key to being a high-performing agency.
It all started so well. You had a vision. You made a commitment. You worked hard. You sweated blood and (once you were drained) you paid others to sweat for you. You put it all on the line in the name of a successful digital agency. So, why, then, oh why, is Success such a fickle mistress?
But then, some agencies seem to have her attention. What is the love potion that keeps Success in their grasp? What are they doing – or rather, what are you not doing – to be desirable to that which you desire? What can you learn from your successful digital agency counterparts (aka competitors)?
Kentico and Millward Brown did some interesting and revealing research on the matter, interviewing 300 top digital executives across three continents on their company’s success – or lack thereof. And it seems there are some crucial areas on which uber-successful agencies are focused that their less successful rivals are not.
Captivating careers
None of you would underestimate the importance of engaged employees who share in your passion for what you do and your desire to succeed. But it can be like extracting blood from a stone. So how does one engender such aspiration? Bigger pay checks? More vacation?
Probably. But not above offering respect, recognition, autonomy, advancement, strong company values, and transparency. It seems that empowering your staff through these things pays dividends in loyalty, hard work, and mutual respect. By igniting your team with what actually motivates them, you fuel better working relationships, more efficient workflows, and greater team output; all going towards making your agency the place everyone wants to work, including those industry-steering rock stars who bring with them hot new tools and technology you didn’t even know your company needed to take that next step up.
And this leads nicely to the other main area of investment for higher achieving agencies:
Top-drawer technology
Your clients are in no doubt their technology needs updating. This is the digital era and if they’re not multichannel-ready, then they’re selling to dinosaurs.
So now they want it all: omnichannel content management, Web and mobile analytics, social media integration, email marketing, personalisation, etc.
Whereas many are still offering a conglomeration of disparate technologies with multiple interfaces which require constant management (or, perish the thought, your own legacy CMS), smart agencies are embracing technology that offers it all inside one platform at much more affordable prices.
By choosing technology wisely and having an army of staff that know it inside out, such agencies reduce development time and costs and increase profitability of each project while creating the capacity to take on even more.
So they’ve got the people and the technology, what more could they want?
Mighty methodology
Two thirds of the most successful agencies interviewed, compared to only 41% of below-average agencies, have an agile strategy in place. Why is everything about ‘agile’ nowadays?
Well, smart agencies don’t just set out goals and SLAs, they measure themselves against them. They break their projects into smaller chunks and all involved teams are able to see the lay of the land though development, how their involvement (and that of others) affects the project, where sticking points and communication issues are, and which tasks should take priority and why. Clients aren’t excluded from this transparency and can easily measure progress through each chunk (sprint), see when work is dependent on their input, and stay abreast of the overall timeline of their baby, I mean project.
This streamlined approach enables synergised workflows and makes those never-in-a-million-years deadlines an attractive challenge. And what’s more, an agile methodology enables those critical nimble responses to new information, modifications to the spec, crucial visitor feedback, and sudden changes in the market.
So why is everything about agile nowadays…? Perhaps because it works.
Staying successful
So it seems Success isn’t as shallow a beast as we like to imagine. Like the rest of us, she’s attracted to what’s inside:
Agencies with good, clear values that their team of motivated, hard-working rock stars share and whose output is leveraged by intelligent technology that does what the client wants in the way the client needs, and whose approach to work is collective, accountable, and transparent.
Doesn’t sound that hard, does it?

October talks feature European mammals
Bob Doyle, Columnist
Cumberland Times-News
— My 4 p.m. Sunday presentations this month are about European mammals. Europe has twice the population density of North America. Consequently, there are fewer large wild mammals there than in North America.
The talks last about 30 minutes in Compton 224 and are held each Sunday in October.
The Western European Hedgehog is an insectivore (insect eater) that roams parks, gardens and fields at night. During the day, Hedgehogs hide under piles of grass or leaves or under bushes or logs.
The hedgehog spines appear soon after birth. When attacked, the hedgehog tucks its head and legs against its belly, curling itself into a spiny ball. A hedgehog body is about 10” long. Hedgehogs can run or climb trees as well.
Another insectivore is the European Mole, which lives underground. This species of mole is active both during the day and night. When worms abound, this mole paralyzes worms with a bite.
The paralysis eventually wears off if the mole doesn’t return. If their tunnels flood, the European Moles can escape as they are very good swimmers. European Moles are about five inches in length with a prominent pink nose.
Common Pipistrelle Bats thrive across Western Europe. At nightfall, these bats emerge, hoping to eat flies, mayflies and moths. During the day, the Pipistrelle Bats roosts in crevices, cracks and buildings.
Males communicate with females during courtship. Nursery colonies may have up to 1,000 mothers and their single offspring. By smell and hearing, each mother can tell her bat baby from all the other bats.
The ancestor of all breeds of domestic rabbits is the European Rabbit. Their coat is light to dark brown. Nocturnal in behavior, the European Rabbit has several orders of dominance.
These rabbits have elaborate underground tunnels or warrens. Males protect juveniles from attacking females who may kill young rabbits other than their own offspring. European Rabbits have produced environmental destruction where they are introduced (such as Australia).
The Eurasian Red Squirrel has a coat that can vary from gray to red, brown and black on its back. Its tail is as long as its body. Body length is up to 10 inches. The ears are upright and tufted.
Red squirrels eats pine seeds, beechnuts, acorns, shoots, fruit and bark. The Red squirrel is threatened by reduction of habitat and the American Gray Squirrel (an illegal immigrant!).
Living on both sides of the Atlantic is the muskrat. Its back toes have webs and its long tail can act as a rudder when swimming. A muskrat’s dives can be up to 20 minutes as its nostrils are covered by flaps.
The body length is about a foot with a tail a little shorter. The species’ name is from musky secretions around its genital area.
The rodent that has benefited the most from humans are the house mouse, living on both sides of the Atlantic. Its upperparts are dark while its underparts are white.
The female of this species is larger and stronger than the male. Its body is about three inches long with a tail two inches in length. The average litter size is three to eight with as many 10 liters a year. If all their offspring survived, a male-female pair could produce 1,000 mice in a year.
The Edible Dormouse is brown to silver grey with white underpants and dark eye patches. This mouse was bred for human food in ancient Rome, hence its name. These dormice are about six inches in length with a tail nearly as long.
SKY SIGHTS IN WEEK AHEAD: Tomorrow, the moon is at its third quarter phase, appearing half full in the southern dawn sky. On Thursday, the crescent moon will appear near the brilliant planet Venus in the eastern dawn.

The Skipping Point
Malcolm Gladwell made intelligible the "social epidemic" in his best-seller The Tipping Point.
He explained why word-of-mouth advertising could elevate a product like Hush Puppies to international stardom overnight.
A lot of marketers, hoping for a Tipping Point, rely instead on a Skipping Point.
No one's talking about their products. But they believe they can convince you otherwise by using hackneyed attributes such as "industry leading" and "best of breed."
No matter how hard you try, you can't skip to the head of the class.
