With the proliferation of video data, video summarization is an ideal tool for users to browse video content rapidly. In this paper, we propose a novel foveated convolutional neural networks for dynamic video summarization. We are the first to integrate gaze information into a deep learning network for video summarization. Foveated images are constructed based on subjects{\textquoteright} eye movements to represent the spatial information of the input video. Multi-frame motion vectors are stacked across several adjacent frames to convey the motion clues. To evaluate the proposed method, experiments are conducted on two video summarization benchmark datasets. The experimental results validate the effectiveness of the gaze information for video summarization despite the fact that the eye movements are collected from different subjects from those who generated summaries. Empirical validations also demonstrate that our proposed foveated convolutional neural networks for video summarization can achieve state-of-the-art performances on these benchmark datasets.

IRA Announces End To Its Armed Campaign
The Irish Republican Army has announced an end to its armed campaign against British rule, and that it will pursue its goals through peaceful means.
The outlawed group said the armed activity ends on Thursday. It called on its militants to peacefully work in developing political and democratic programs.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair said the move is a "step of unparalleled magnitude" in the recent history of Northern Ireland. Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern and the White House also welcomed the announcement.
Gerry Adams, the leader of the IRA's political wing Sinn Fein, said the move will help revive the peace process.
The IRA said it believes its armed struggle was legitimate -- but an alternative exists in ending British rule in Northern Ireland and uniting with Ireland.
The IRA is blamed for the deaths of 18-hundred people in its armed campaign, which lasted more than three decades. A cease-fire has been in effect since 1997.

broken heartHeartbreak is a horrible thing, regardless of the reason. For some people it can make it difficult to work, eat, and be around other people. Although heartbreak is an emotional feeling, there is a physiological connection between your mind and body. Therefore, what you are thinking and feeling emotionally will affect how you feel physically, and vice versa. If you’re wondering if exercise can mend a broken heart, it can! It is one of the healthiest and easiest ways to help yourself begin to feel better. Read on to find out why.
Why Exercise is Good for Heartbreak
Heartbreak causes a physical reaction in your body. According to research, the area of your brain that is stimulated when you’re physically hurt is the same area that is stimulated when you experience rejection or lose someone you love. Exercise is a great way to release all the tension, stress, nervous energy, anger, and frustration that builds up when you are suffering emotionally. During exercise your brain releases endorphins. Endorphins are natural “feel good” chemicals that produce feelings of pleasure, happiness, and euphoria. They also help relieve pain. Exercise can also help tone your body and shed unwanted pounds, which can help boost your confidence and make you feel good about yourself.
How Exercise Helps
There are many benefits associated with exercise that can improve your health and emotional well-being:
• Exercise helps fight depression
• It helps relieve stress and other harmful emotions
• It boosts energy
• It boosts mood
• It increases self-confidence
• It helps you deal with stress better
So, regardless of what your problems are: stress, depression, heartache, or you are simply feeling down in the dumps, join us here at Urban Vybe where we are all about your health, well-being, and happiness. You just might have some fun, too!

Choosing the right CDP for SaaS companies
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you would not fear the outcome of a hundred battles”
Sun Tzu, Art of War
As a SaaS business owner or marketer, spare a moment and think about how a usual prospect in your funnel makes up their mind towards a buying decision. The journey starts somewhere in the problem unaware phase, where they don’t yet know they have a pain-point that is seriously hurting their business. Once they are made aware of a glaring inefficiency in their SaaS building/marketing/success process, they realize they have a problem on their hands, which when fixed could yield an uptick in their revenue and improved bottom lines; or worse, a problem big enough that can bleed them out.
Once they’re problem aware, they are likely to be searching for solutions that can help them address their SaaS inefficiencies. They will google their heart out, read blogs and consume other forms of content, consult other founders and their wider network to gauge just how serious their problem is, and if it makes business sense to solve it. Somewhere along in this exercise, they come across tens, if not hundreds of products that solve the same problem just as you do - albeit in a different fashion maybe. This is when they’re solution aware, and feel empowered enough to make that buying decision. Rinse and repeat for thousands and thousands of all the other prospects in your funnel.
While on the outset, this may sound incredibly obvious, yet this process is something that most SaaS companies find extremely challenging to track. When a prospect shuffles between reading blogs on your website, opening your newsletters, engaging with your social channels, being a part of your community to straight up using a search engine to find you and your products, how do you keep a constant tab on where they are in the process, and how far are they in their buying journey?
“Opportunities multiply as they are seized”
Sun Tzu, Art of War
The growth function of a SaaS company is only as good as the quality of customer data at its disposal. And the success of a well-oiled SaaS growth machine lies in their ability to harness this data to weave experiences that are personalized to their potential customers' engagement with the brand. Buying decisions are almost never linear, they always follow a meandering path to come to that decision. In a world with a million touchpoints and interactions, how do you visualize a unified view of the path of your prospects?
Enter CDP - An invaluable resource you absolutely have to consider to peep into the mind of your potential customers.
As SaaS marketing increasingly becomes an API driven affair, every SaaS company uses a custom MarTech stack in an attempt to give them a holistic view of their customers. The problem? How to build a database that communicates with all siloed entities of this stack to present a unified view.
A CDP does exactly that, which is
• Pulls in customer data from the MarTech stack of your choosing
• Organize and cleanse this data into unique records for each potential customer, and
• Make these records accessible to all entities in your MarTech stack.
Most SaaS companies collect first-party data, but cannot use it as efficiently as third-party data to form concrete growth strategies.
We’re living in a time when the big 3 - Google, Amazon, and Facebook have a monopoly on all the cookies, SaaS companies need to expedite the collection of first-party data especially in the wake of GDPR and CCPA regulations to avoid being completely dependent on them for third-party data. While it is true that there aren’t many choices out there in terms of advertising for SaaS companies, it is imperative now to forge first-hand relationships with customers and learn everything you need to learn about them through your own data. And with a ton of CDP platforms out there, it’s time SaaS companies take action and expedite customer-centric thinking and personalized experiences.
But how exactly is a CDP different from a DMP or a CRM?
There are fundamental differences between a DMP, a CRM, and a CDP. In terms of data collected, a CRM just records the customer lifecycle data (sales-centric) that you have to manually enter into the system in case of offline data. Note that this data is only valid for people who have already made the purchase of your SaaS product or are in the consideration phase, it does not account for any anonymous visitors who are lurking out there, regularly interacting with your brand and on their way to the decision making phase.
And while a DMP is good for handling third-party data for the purpose of advertising, a CDP uses first-party data to influence all aspects of marketing - it is not just limited to advertising.
A DMP, in an attempt to build look-alike audiences for targeted ads, retains data for small periods of time, but a CDP retains it for a longer period, in an attempt to facilitate relationship building across channels between your SaaS and the potential customers out there.
CDPs work with personal information shared with you by a prospect with their consent, such as their name, email address, and social handles; while a DMP works with anonymous data such as cookies and IP addresses. And since third-party data changes hands oh so often, the element of user consent is a tricky slope to navigate.
So how do you determine when to use a CDP or a DMP?
Same guy I’ve been quoting all along
To begin with, let us clear this at the offset - this is not a CDP v/s DMP debate. Both of them are unique in what they do, and both of them have their uses for SaaS companies. The utility of a CDP does not negate the utility of a DMP and vice-versa.
Consider using a DMP in the following scenarios:
• If you want to leverage third-party data to create lookalike audiences to build marketing campaigns that are unfamiliar with your product.
• Since privacy and anonymity is the foundation of DMP data, they can only retain data for as long as the cookies are valid. This implies that DMP data can only exist for 90 days max, assuming prospects don’t clear the cookies in their browser.
• If you want to run advertising to digitally target and acquire users from huge swathes of an audience who may have interests or intent that align with your SaaS product.
• If you want to measure performance based on specific events, as opposed to a continuous and real-time tracking of what your prospects do.
In contrast, a CDP may be a good fit for your requirements if:
• You intend to collect your own data, that is, first-party data such as personally identifiable information, interaction history with your brand among other things.
• You want to store historical information for your potential customers in a large capacity for a longer period of time to re-engage them periodically.
• If you want to have a 1:1 view of your potential customers.
• If you only want to target prospects who have interacted with your SaaS brand in the past, as opposed to all people interested in the entire segment you operate in.
• And finally, if you want to target prospects based on precise unique IDs such as name, email address, contact details, etc.
But keep in mind, you need to have a quality framework for collecting first-party data in order to unlock the full value out of a CDP.
Knowing the customer, as simple as it sounds, is the hardest job you will have to execute in order to implement a product-led growth model. You have to know exactly how they act online, what motivates them, and how you can use this data to your advantage in order to nudge them closer to a buying decision.

Actually select what window to record by using the windowid option. You can check the window id of a window using the xwininfo utility – tomodachi Jan 10 '13 at 14:02
I would like to recommend Open Broadcaster Software.
It is currently in beta for Linux. But this works really well. The main reason why I use it is because I can record both my microphone AND monitor output with ease.
Plus you can stream to Twitch if you'd like.
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg obs-studio

Gnome 3 already seems to have a very simple thing to do record Screencasts - you can assign what shortcut it uses in Keyboard settings. It records the entire screen, and records directly into a webm file (a fairly widely used format) into XDG_VIDEOS_DIR - by default "$HOME/Videos".
example screencast
The above image should be animated - if you have animations disabled it won't work. Click to view the file
If you want to convert the image to a animation, this answer on Superuser is very helpful - the best method is to basically:
Another command-line method would be to export the movie to frames using ffmpeg:
mkdir frames
ffmpeg -i input -vf scale=320:-1 -r 10 frames/ffout%03d.png
Then use convert from ImageMagick (or GraphicsMagick) to make your animated GIF:
convert -delay 5 -loop 0 frames/ffout*.png output.gif
This is how I did the above animation, with the exception that I added -dither None -colors 80 -fuzz "40%" -layers OptimizeFrame to the convert command*, and cropped the result in GIMP.
*Be careful with these options, some like using ALL of the CPU

Recently I tried to record a screencast with audio. I tried many of the options listed here and other websites. My goal was not to write a comprehensive summary of all tools available, but to find a single one which works.
In my case (after several hours of struggling) it was VOKOSCREEN which worked, so I did not look further. My system is Linux Mint 15 Olivia, 64-bit, which is based on Ubuntu Raring.
This is my summary/log which I wrote while experimenting. Hope it will save you several hours:
avconv: audio and video get out of sync, audio is lagging behind Tried all the options I could. This is the command line I used:
avconv -f alsa -i pulse -f x11grab -r 15 -s 1024x768 -i :0.0 -vcodec wmv1 -acodec pcm_s16le -q 7 b4.avi
Byzanz: creates animated gif (not tried, since I need sound as well and longer screencast)
Eidete: unable to install (with 20 years of Linux experience, didn't try forever though)
gtk-recordmydesktop: creates ogg which is fine, but unable to convert to anything. Best converter was mencoder but is speeds up video (but not audio) so they get out of sync.
istanbul: freezes immediately
Kazam: if record area larger than ~640x480 memory starts leaking, leaving at most a few minutes before system becomes unresponsive. Many have reported similar issue, this is a known bug.
pyvnc2swf: Is a tool to record a VNC session. Not convenient if you want to record your own screen (not tried)
screenkey: advertised as a "screencast tool", but is not about recording your screen
tibesti: seems to be no longer maintained (since 2011), does not even install
vokoscreen: FINALLY!!!! Quality is good: both audio and video. After recording I could compress the file to about 1:7 with mencoder without any loss of quality. I discovered that it uses the following command line:
ffmpeg -f alsa -i pulse -f x11grab -r 15 -s 1024x768 -i :0.0+0,0 -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec libmp3lame -ar 48000 -sameq -r 15 my.avi
xvidcap: As stated above: "We've removed xvidcap from the repository now because it's no longer maintained." (not tried)
wink: distributed as downloadable executable not as package, (not tried)
share|improve this answer
I just installed RecordItNow http://www.piotrkrzyzek.com/screencasting-in-linux-with-recorditnow-pulseaudio) and Kazam.
RecordItNow seems more complete that Kazam as you can set the recording size. However, both seem primitive compared to this ScreenFlow shown in this tutorial on making screencasts: https://www.codeschool.com/screencasting

The codeschool link seems to be dead. – i08in Jan 30 '14 at 11:11
Note: The "fake" ffmpeg from Libav has been depreciated (within Libav) and has been replaced by avconv from Libav. The "deprecated" message does not apply to the real ffmpeg from FFmpeg which is unaffected and is still under heavy development.
First install the required codecs:
sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra-5*
Use the following command to record the screencast:
Change -s 1280x800 to whatever resolution you like.
more examples
all screen with given resolution and sound
all screen with mouse following and sound
Detailed options I know are following
• -f: input file format
• -i: input file name
• -r: fps (Frame Per Second)
• -s: frame size (width x height)

You can also use ffmpeg to create a screencast. Example:

How to Upload Photos From Pc to Instagram
How To Upload Photos From Pc To Instagram: Instagram introduced a big change today, launching a fully-functional internet application that lets you publish pictures from a phone internet browser, no app needed. Instagram really did not officially include the alternative to desktop computer internet browsers, but it exists-- you just need to find it.
How To Upload Photos From Pc To Instagram
How you can publish photos to Instagram from a desktop internet browser
The majority of internet browsers have a way of allowing you transform the "Customer Representative"-- the important things that informs an internet site what sort of device you get on. So, even when you're on a laptop or desktop computer, you can fool a website like Instagram into revealing you the mobile site. That's what we're going to do.
Currently open a personal searching home window. Go to Develop > User Agent > Safari - iOS 10 - iPhone. Most likely to, log in and click the camera switch below the screen to post a photo from your desktop computer.
In Chrome, go to as well as log in. Currently right-click the page > Inspect > click the Tablet icon (top-left). The web page should change to mobile view, where you'll find a camera switch below the screen, which allows you upload a photo from your desktop computer.
Many Instagrammers-- myself included-- fire photos on a dSLR cam and also modify them on their computer before uploading to Instagram. That means having to move the completed picture to a phone (by means of AirDrop or email), which is cumbersome, at best.
This workaround reduces that march, making dSLR uploads much easier than ever before.

Debo Band: Ethiopian Funk, Reinvented
The debut album from Boston group Debo Band honors and updates the sound of "swinging Addis." Shawn Brackbill hide caption
itoggle caption Shawn Brackbill
On "Asha Gedawo," the sunny swing of a brass section playing in march time echoes the military bands of Ethiopia's regal past. Bruck Tesfaye's lead vocal brings in an element of Ethiopian folklore and a shot of American soul. This is the sound that made Addis swing, until a military coup in 1974 put an end to an extraordinary music scene.
Debo Band's founder, Danny Mekonnen, was born in Sudan and grew up in Texas, learning about the golden age of Ethiopian pop through recordings. He says Debo Band aims to reinvent old sounds, not just reproduce them. The band adds sousaphone, accordion, electric guitar and violins to the lineup. And the players are strong, capable of improvising their way to the edges of free jazz.
Debo Band can extend into full rave mode, an ecstatic place beyond even the wildest hybrids of Addis in the '70s. But at its core, this group remains true to that lost Ethiopian sound.
Debo Band is as much orchestra as a dance band. Its brass section can rally with Tower of Power force and polish, and lock into grooving hooks worthy of Nigerian Afrobeat. But the distinctive scales and harmonies are unmistakably Ethiopian.
Almost no band on the international circuit plays this style of music, and it's a potent niche. But too much fidelity to a 40-year-old pop style can be limiting. If this album leans more toward reverence than revolution, that's appropriate for Debo Band's first outing. Given their energy and talent, these musicians have room to grow, and there's no telling where they'll take their magnificent sound next.

network attached storage
Why can't Windows see my network storage?
Episode 1453
Keith from Orange County, CA
Synology DiskStation DS216
Keith has two NAS drives attached to his network and none of his Windows-based computers can see the shared data folders, but his Android devices can. Leo says that since Keith's Chromebook and Android devices are based on Linux, it can probably see it without any emulation or extra drivers. The NAS could have a non-standard file sharing protocol that won't allow Windows to see it because it can't understand it.
What NAS should I get?
Episode 1422
Eric from Hutchinson, KS
DiskStation DS416
Eric is looking to get a new NAS and wants to know whether he should get a Drobo or Synology? He wants everything on RAID that can be swappable. Leo says that Drobo is USB and is essentially a very large, fast USB external drive system. But for network attached storage, Leo prefers Synology. It's a computer with massive storage on his network.So it really comes down to what he'll want to use it for.

Dave from West Michigan
Synology DS216J NAS DiskStation on Amazon
Dave wants to know if his old RAID hard drives can be read by his computer. Leo says it depends. If mirrored, maybe. They're identical. But maybe not. He shouldn't make any assumptions. Dave should copy the data off it and then he can take each of them and put them in their own enclosed drives, or use a new array like Synology. Synology also does a disk check periodically to keep it healthy. When he puts them in, they'll check the hard drives as they are building the raid.
How can I move my old NAS data to Synology?
Episode 1355
Tim from Massachusetts
Synology DS216play
Tim took Leo's advice and bought a Synology networked attached storage drive. Leo says that with what he can do with it, it's well worth the cost. Tim has several legacy NAS's and wants to know how to mount them to the Synology and move the data over. Leo says that Synology has an external connection, letting him do drive to drive copies from the command line.
What are some alternatives to Seagate Lyve?
Episode 1353
Richard from Sonoma, CA
Seagate Lyve
Richard had Seagate Lyve, which would enable him to backup all of his photos to a Seagate hard drive or its Lyve unit. Then Seagate shut it down in December. Leo has moved to Synology and it works great. It even has a photo station program that does exactly the same thing as Seagate Lyve. There is even an Evernote server. It's not cheap, though. A good open source option is FreeNAS.

• PH prone to ‘lone wolf’ terror attacks – Aquino
PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino 3rd has warned that while the dreaded Islamic State in Iraq and Syria is yet to formally set foot on the Philippines, government security forces are on alert against what he calls “lone wolf” terrorist attacks, or those staged by ISIS sympathizers.
“As far as the Philippines is concerned, we will not rule out what they call ‘lone wolf’ attacks. A lone wolf attack is defined as somebody who doesn’t appear on anybody’s database, who suddenly shows up at your shores, does some terrorist acts and then leaves,” the President explained.
Citing a report by the National Security Agency (NSA), Aquino said those who pledged their allegiance to the ISIS were actually the same personalities who have been on government security forces’ radar.
In Mindanao, it has been reported that the ISIS has taken root and that many in the region have committed to the jihadist group.
“The danger always is with the lone wolf who suddenly gets radicalized by a social media site and one day decides, ‘I’ll be a terrorist,’” the President said.
According to him, the NSA has classified local terrorist groups’ allegiance to the ISIS as “rebranding,” meaning they were previously part of a group, such as the Jemaah Islamiyah, that had been decimated.
“As far as we are concerned, there have been people who have been posting their oath of allegiance to the caliph [of the ISIS]. Now, the head of the NSA tells me: ‘Sir, all of these people who have been posted and have been identified are the same people we’ve been after. They are just a rebranding,’” the President further explained.
By “lone wolf,” he said, these terrorists are not part of a bigger group because that may lead to their eventual identification.
“If they are part of the group, there is that bigger chance that they will be identified, they can be stopped prior to the commission of any act because they are known. Or [its]just [like], when you spot one member, chances are you will be able to reconnoiter the other members,” Aquino added.
According to him, other leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations were concerned about the spread of the ISIS’ influence in the region and that “they were talking about tackling the root causes.”
He acknowledged that to address the threat, the solution must not only be “military” in nature.
“Number one, the other issue was there should be condemnation of this.
There were points that were being raised [noting that]the solution is not purely military,” Aquino said.
“You cannot find the military solution to this problem,” he pointed out.
The “extremist belief” being espoused by the ISIS, the President said, was triggered by “dispossession, disenfranchisement and hopelessness.”
“The lack of opportunities is a situation where their hopelessness translates into going after some sort of extreme belief,” he added.

Diljit Dosanjh celebrates Kylie Jenner's title of world's youngest ever self-made billionaire in his own style – view pic
Kylie Jenner Is Officially the World's Youngest Billionaire!
The Kardashian-Jenner family name, plus her reality star status, let her buy a $2.7 million home in Calabasas, California when she was just 17 years old, TMZ reported. This year's list also saw RIL Chairman Mukesh Ambani make it to the top 10 for the first time. If you have a dream, do everything you can to make it happen - you never know where you'll end up, or how much money you'll make. Her company's net worth is at least $900 million.
Kylie Jenner ranks a 7, which means she qualifies as someone "who got a head start from wealthy parents and moneyed background", Forbes reported.
So is Kylie Jenner self-made? Besides, it's the title Mark Zuckerberg got at 23 and his story isn't almost as glamorous as Kylie's. Kylie reportedly owns 100 percent of Kylie Cosmetics, which happens to be her very own cosmetic range.
Most of the brand's marketing is done through social media - where the brunette announces product launches, previews new items and tells fans which shades she's wearing each day - to her 175 million-plus fan base across Instagram, Facebook and Twitter and Kylie believes it's been essential to her success.
Guaido returns to Venezuela as protests planned across country
On Thursday, Guaido told reporters in Brazil that he had received threats against himself and his family, including prison. Maduro, who denies there is a humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, has said Guaido's arrest depends on the justice system.
The cosmetics brand that Kylie Jenner started off in 2015 has been doing pretty well we take it, from the cool $360 billion it made in just the previous year. Her lip kits were selling like hot cakes the moment it hit the market and she's been flying high ever since.
"The self-made thing is true", she said.
Marketing is carried out through social media, primarily dependent on Ms Jenner's enormous following.
"Her money she made on the show that she put into her company, seems self made to me", said Gen.G content creator AvaGG. She admitted in May 2015 to having temporary lip fillers, and the business instincts she inherited from her mother kicked in. They sold out in minutes.
Jenner, whose net worth is estimated at one billion USA dollars (£761 million), has appeared on Forbes' billionaires list for the first time, ranked at number 2,057 overall. As per the global outlet, Kylie Cosmetics earned about $360 million in sales past year alone.

Ezekiel 27 Young’s Literal Translation
27 1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: 2 'And thou, son of man, lift up concerning Tyre a lamentation, and thou hast said to Tyre: 3 O dweller on the entrances of the sea, Merchant of the peoples unto many isles, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: O Tyre, thou—thou hast said: I 'am' the perfection of beauty. 4 In the heart of the seas 'are' thy borders, Thy builders have perfected thy beauty. 5 Of firs of Senir they have built to thee all thy double-boarded ships, Of cedars of Lebanon they have taken to make a mast for thee, 6 Of oaks of Bashan they made thine oars, Thy bench they have made of ivory, A branch of Ashurim from isles of Chittim. 7 Of fine linen with embroidery from Egypt hath been thy sail, To be to thee for an ensign, Of blue and purple from isles of Elishah hath been thy covering. 8 Inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad have been rowers to thee, Thy wise men, O Tyre, have been in thee, They 'are' thy pilots. 9 Elders of Gebal and its wise men have been in thee, Strengthening thy breach; All ships of the sea and their mariners, Have been in thee, to trade 'with' thy merchandise. 10 Persian and Lud and Phut Have been in thy forces—thy men of war. Shield and helmet they hung up in thee, They—they have given out thine honour. 11 The sons of Arvad, and thy force, 'Are' on thy walls round about, And short swordsmen in thy towers have been, Their shields they have hung up on thy walls round about, They—they have perfected thy beauty. 12 Tarshish 'is' thy merchant, Because of the abundance of all wealth, For silver, iron, tin, and lead, They have given out thy remnants. 13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech—they 'are' thy merchants, For persons of men, and vessels of brass, They have given out thy merchandise. 14 They of the house of Togarmah, 'For' horses, and riding steeds, and mules, They have given out thy remnants. 15 Sons of Dedan 'are' thy merchants, Many isles 'are' the mart of thy hand, Horns of ivory and ebony they sent back thy reward. 16 Aram 'is' thy merchant, Because of the abundance of thy works, For emerald, purple, and embroidery, And fine linen, and coral, and agate, They have given out thy remnants. 17 Judah and the land of Israel—they 'are' thy merchants, For wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, And honey, and oil, and balm, They have given out thy merchandise. 18 Damascus 'is' thy merchant, For the abundance of thy works, Because of the abundance of all wealth, For wine of Helbon, and white wool. 19 Vedan and Javan go about with thy remnants, They have given shining iron, cassia, and cane, In thy merchandise it hath been. 20 Dedan 'is' thy merchant, For clothes of freedom for riding. 21 Arabia, and all princes of Kedar, They 'are' the traders of thy hand, For lambs, and rams, and he-goats, In these thy merchants. 22 Merchants of Sheba and Raamah—they 'are' thy merchants, For the chief of all spices, And for every precious stone, and gold, They have given out thy remnants. 23 Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, merchants of Sheba, Asshur—Chilmad—'are' thy merchants, 24 They 'are' thy merchants for perfect things, For wrappings of blue, and embroidery, And for treasuries of rich apparel, With cords bound and girded, for thy merchandise, 25 Ships of Tarshish 'are' thy double walls of thy merchandise, And thou art filled and honoured greatly, In the heart of the seas.
26 Into great waters have they brought thee, Those rowing thee, The east wind hath broken thee in the heart of the seas. 27 Thy wealth and thy remnants, Thy merchandise, thy mariners, And thy pilots, strengtheners of thy breach, And the traders of thy merchandise, And all thy men of war, who 'are' in thee, And in all thine assembly that 'is' in thy midst, Fall into the heart of the seas in the day of thy fall, 28 At the voice of the cry of thy pilots shake do the suburbs. 29 And come down from their ships have all handling an oar, Mariners, all the pilots of the sea, on the land they stand, 30 And have sounded for thee with their voice, And cry bitterly, and cause dust to go up on their heads, In ashes they do roll themselves. 31 And they have made for thee baldness, And they have girded on sackcloth, And they have wept for thee, In bitterness of soul—a bitter mourning. 32 And lifted up for thee have their sons a lamentation, And they have lamented over thee, who 'is' as Tyre? As the cut-off one in the midst of the sea? 33 With the outgoing of thy remnants from the seas, Thou hast filled many peoples, With the abundance of thy riches, and thy merchandise, Thou hast made rich things of earth. 34 The time of 'thy' being broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, Thy merchandise and all thy assembly in thy midst have fallen. 35 All inhabitants of the isles have been astonished at thee, And their kings have been sore afraid, They have been troubled in countenance. 36 Merchants among the peoples have shrieked for thee, Wastes thou hast been, and thou art not—to the age!'

Resources from Space
TABLE 1. Pre-Apollo model of lunar evolution
1. Formation of an old highly cratered crust, rich in Ca and Al, on a generally chondritic interior.
2. Excavation of large circular impact basins, the younger ones with underlying mass concentrations.
3. Floors of many highland basins covered by light coiored smooth plains.
4. Most large basins on the near side partially filled by basaltic lava flows (mare).
5. Post-mare iunar surfaces slightly modified by formation of constructional volcanic deposits, dark mantling materials, faults, rilles, and light-colored swirls.
6. Pulverized rock debris, or regolith, formed on all surfaces in response to meteoritic bombardment and radiation.

Atomic-optical magnetometer has been one of the leading areas in quantum technology. In this type of magnetometer information about the magnetic field is mapped to the atomic spin state, which is prepared and monitored by light.
The main interest of our group is to exploit quantum resources such as squeezing and entanglement in order to enhance the capacity, sensitivity and speed in atomic-optical magnetometers. We aim at developing new methodological approaches and implement robust experimental procedures at the quantum interface between light and warm atomic ensembles in order to perform sensing at the ultimate limits of precision. We are also interested in practical applications of ultra-sensitive magnetometer, for instance in biomedicine or in security screening.
Currently, we are exploring two reseach directions:
• Spin noise spectroscopy in high density alkali atomic ensembles: Spin-noise spectroscopy contains useful information about the spin system, allowing for the study of atomic properties without externally perturbing the system. We use Faraday rotation of off-resonant light to passively detect the spin noise in an equilibrium ensemble of room-temperature paramagnetic alkali atoms experiencing a DC magnetic field. In the regime of high alkali density and low magnetical field, strong correlations between the hyperfine levels result in previously unnoticed features in the spin noise spectrum.
• Simultaneous reduction of all quantum noises in an atomic-optical magnetometer: In an atomic-optical magnetometer information about the magnetic field is mapped to the atomic spin state, which is then monitored by light. These magnetometers have reached a level of sensitivity limited by quantum effects. We can identify three noise sources originating from the quantum nature of light and atoms that could potentially limit the sensitivity of the magnetometer: photon shot noise, atom shot noise (also called spin projection noise) and the back-action noise. We aim to realize a magnetometer that will address for the first time all types of quantum noise that affect an atomic-optical magnetometer and demonstrate quantum advantage in the measurement. To this end, we will use stroboscopic modulation of the probe light synchronized with the atomic spin precession, resulting in atomic-spin squeezed and light-squeezed states.

Intel to unveil Net chip for cell phones
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Intel Corp. plans to introduce a microchip today that supercharges the power of cell phones to access the Internet, display digital photos, play music and perform other complicated tasks.
The Santa Clara, Calif.-based chip giant bills the PXA800F processor, which could appear in consumers' cell phones starting in the third quarter, as the company's first "highly integrated" cellular chip.
Intel previously bundled as many as five chips to perform the same array of functions, requiring more battery power and manufacturing headaches than if cell phone makers could install a single piece of silicon.
Democrats praise Greenspan stance
WASHINGTON - Democrats praised Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan on Wednesday for criticizing President Bush's new round of $1.3 trillion in tax cuts as too expensive in light of soaring budget deficits. The White House, meanwhile, was pushing ahead with efforts to build support in Congress.
"The chairman has long believed, as have most economists, that while deficits are not instant death, they are over the long term a negative for the economy," said Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass. "I very much appreciate the chairman's consistency in reaffirming that in the face of very strong political praying that he would go the other way."
17 are charged with hacking satellite TV
LOS ANGELES - A federal grand jury has indicted 17 people who authorities say hacked into satellite television transmissions, causing millions of dollars in losses to DirecTV and Dish Network, the U.S. Attorney's office said.
Six of the defendants were charged with violating the anti-encryption provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The other charges involved conspiracy or manufacturing a device for the purpose of stealing satellite signals. All three counts carry a maximum prison sentence of five years.
The indictments were returned last month and unsealed Tuesday.

Strategic communication in times of crisis is crucial, as stakeholders seek reassurance that the company is taking their interests into account during such a phase. If you do not manage the crisis well enough or underestimate its consequences, the organization will come to a complex situation to fight for trust in dialogue with all stakeholders. The outcomes can range from unpleasant to costly to catastrophic for the entire company. Let us first clarify
what is meant by a crisis:
A crisis is an event that occurs suddenly and usually unexpectedly. It requires a rapid response and, if mismanaged, can lead to lost profits, litigation, lost business, reduced employee motivation, damaged public reputation, reduced competitiveness… or all of the above. Crises range from natural disasters to financial to medical emergencies, including fires, chemical exposures and multi-casualty accidents. Another examples of crises can contain workplace violence, fraud and asset misappropriation. An effective communication must provide timely and unambiguous knowledge to make the right decisions.
According to a Deloitte survey, 47% of employers believe they have the skills and processes they would need to manage a crisis. In addition, less than half of all respondents said they have a “playbook” of options, actions and solutions for specifically defined crisis scenarios.
Here are some features of good crisis communications :
# Crisis response involves significant stress. Companies must act quickly to resolve issues without making the situation worse. Therefore, it pays to have an escalation framework in place.
Step 1: Alert – Notify all team members as soon as possible. Establish specific communication channels for this process in advance.
Step 2: Assessment – Evaluate the severity of the issue and the potential comeback. The key questions you should ask are: What happened? Where and when? Who was affected and involved? How much do we know?
Step 3: Activate – Once the initial assessment is complete, activate the appropriate team members and their departments to start the crisis management process. Initial steps may include calling a general gathering, responding to immediate media inquiries, or drafting communication to affected stakeholders. Coordination at this stage is critical.
Step 4: Monitoring – Crisis communications can last from a few days to several weeks or months. In this time, it is crucial to monitor what happens and what has changed to ensure communication is managed effectively and information is perceived without misinterpretation.
Step 5: Analyze – Once the worst part of the crisis is over, you should discuss with your team how the crisis has been handled, what the consequences were, and how to improve the overall communication situation. It is beneficial to evaluate the team’s performance and make appropriate suggestions for improvement if critical situations happen again. A good idea is to continue monitoring for at least some time after the crisis.
# Keep crisis communication simple and easy to understand for everyone. Simplicity is the best partner at this moment. Make sure your statement conveys a clear message and tailor it to the target audience.
# Make the message credible. Provide evidence and arguments to support the statements. Details increase credibility and create more confidence in the audience.
# Critical is to show empathy. The best way to express it is direct to the people affected by the crisis – by active listening and encouraging feedback. In doing so, it is crucial to send the right signals and distinguish between empathy and accepting responsibility or blame for actions beyond the organization’s control.
# In times of crisis and change, it is also essential to focus on the organization’s competence. Does your organization have the skills, knowledge, resources and leadership to deal with unprecedented situations? If so, remind the people.
# Crisis communication should be very illustrative and shareable. Word of mouth will help you spread your message and reach a larger audience. Encourage people to share your message.
When a crisis occurs, communication is one of the first steps. Companies need to create reaction plans that prioritize clear and transparent communication with open and direct information while maintaining employee and customer confidentiality. Companies need dedicated teams to help them along the way, expanding existing competencies and helping build and maintain trust. Experience in though moments can be beneficial in different ways – crisis communication expertise, team and process management skills, and emotional balance when needed. If scenarios are not just edveloped but also coached, better preparation can make the difference to determine the future of the entire organization.

Cellular Diversity in Human Nephrogenesis
Key Personnel
Andrew McMahon (PI)
University of Southern California
• Andy Ransick
University of Southern California
Project Description
The functional unit of the mammalian kidney is the nephron. Though there is a general appreciation for when and how different cell types of the nephron form from studies in the mouse, there is little understanding of these processes in the human kidney, and no rigorous accounting for the full range of mature cell types that underpin kidney function in either mouse or man. An understanding of the diversity of nephron cell types is essential for the goals of (Re)Building A Kidney Consortium where generating functional kidney structures is the consortium target. Further, individual cell types are likely targets for distinct disease features; as an example, mutations in genes producing podocyte specific gene products result in glomerular nephritis. We will combine two complementary strategies, MARIS (Method for Analyzing RNA following Intracellular Sorting) and Drop-seq, to obtain detailed comparative transcriptional profiles of mouse and human nephron progenitors and nephrons to address the question of cellular diversity.
1. In Vivo Developmental Trajectories of Human Podocyte Inform In Vitro Differentiation of Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Podocytes.
Tran, Tracy; Lindstrom, Nils O.; Ransick, Andrew; De Sena Brandine, Guilherme; Guo, Qiuyu; Kim, Albert D.; Der, Balint; Peti-Peterdi, Janos; Smith, Andrew D.; Thornton, Matthew; Grubbs, Brendan; McMahon, Jill A.; McMahon, Andrew P. Dev Cell. 50(1):102–116.e6. July 2019.
The renal corpuscle of the kidney comprises a glomerular vasculature embraced by podocytes and supported by mesangial myofibroblasts, which ensure plasma filtration at the podocyte-generated slit diaphragm. With a spectrum of podocyte-expressed gene mutations causing chronic disease, an enhanced understanding of podocyte development and function to create relevant in vitro podocyte models is a clinical imperative. To characterize podocyte development, scRNA-seq was performed on human fetal kidneys, identifying distinct transcriptional signatures accompanying the differentiation of functional podocytes from progenitors. Interestingly, organoid-generated podocytes exhibited highly similar, progressive transcriptional profiles despite an absence of the vasculature, although abnormal gene expression was pinpointed in late podocytes. On transplantation into mice, organoid-derived podocytes recruited the host vasculature and partially corrected transcriptional profiles. Thus, human podocyte development is mostly intrinsically regulated and vascular interactions refine maturation. These studies support the application of organoid-derived podocytes to model disease and to restore or replace normal kidney functions.
2. Conserved and Divergent Features of Human and Mouse Kidney Organogenesis.

Human kidney function is underpinned by approximately 1,000,000 nephrons, although the number varies substantially, and low nephron number is linked to disease. Human kidney development initiates around 4 weeks of gestation and ends around 34-37 weeks of gestation. Over this period, a reiterative inductive process establishes the nephron complement. Studies have provided insightful anatomic descriptions of human kidney development, but the limited histologic views are not readily accessible to a broad audience. In this first paper in a series providing comprehensive insight into human kidney formation, we examined human kidney development in 135 anonymously donated human kidney specimens. We documented kidney development at a macroscopic and cellular level through histologic analysis, RNA in situ hybridization, immunofluorescence studies, and transcriptional profiling, contrasting human development (4-23 weeks) with mouse development at selected stages (embryonic day 15.5 and postnatal day 2). The high-resolution histologic interactive atlas of human kidney organogenesis generated can be viewed at the GUDMAP database (www.gudmap.org) together with three-dimensional reconstructions of key components of the data herein. At the anatomic level, human and mouse kidney development differ in timing, scale, and global features such as lobe formation and progenitor niche organization. The data also highlight differences in molecular and cellular features, including the expression and cellular distribution of anchor gene markers used to identify key cell types in mouse kidney studies. These data will facilitate and inform in vitro efforts to generate human kidney structures and comparative functional analyses across mammalian species.

This Is A Short Two Page Essay Comparing Greek Democracy To American Democracy. It Shows How They Have Very Little Similarities.
619 words - 2 pages
Ancient democracy to present democracyThe word democracy is derived from two Greek words, demos, which means people, and kratos, which means rule. Today the word has come to mean exactly that, ruled by the people. Many ancient political Greek philosophers would use the phrase "the governors are to be governed" which we can relate to today. Even though the Greek's notion of democracy is dramatically different from our current democracy, it has been one of the most influential philosophies that have shaped the political thought of the United States. Ironically the term democracy is the most used term to describe the American government even though it has little meaning in our government today.The Athenian government was the first democracy known to the world. Athens had a government where all of the citizens took part in the decision making. Thus, everyone who qualified as a citizen could participate and did not have to be an elected representative. For one to be considered a citizen they first had to be born in Athens and had to be free. Next, once turned eighteen years of age he had to have at least two years of military training then serve in the navy or army. After he has served he could then vote. After the age of thirty he could be considered for council. The women of Athens were also considered to be citizen however they did not posses any political power. The Athenian democracy had three main branches which were the assembly, the council, and the jurymen. The assembly had the reasonability of making the policies for Athens. The assembly could be considered the legislative branch and it was made of eligible Athenian citizens. The council enforced administrative matters and the policies. They were also in control of the military and finances. The council was made of five hundred...

For any column vector $v$, we have $v^tA^tAv=(Av)^t(Av)=(Av)\cdot (Av)\geq 0$, therefore $A^tA$ is positive semi-definite. In particular, if $A$ is a nonsingular matrix, then $A^tA$ is positive definite.

The other thing that is going on is that $(AB)^t=B^tA^t$, and $(A^t)^t=A$, applied to $A^tv$

Steve Wozniak, Credit Unions
and the birth of Apple Computer.
Iconic Innovator
Without his technical genius, there would have been no Apple Computer. And some four decades ago, as the information age was just taking shape, a small loan from a credit union that replaced Steve Wozniak’s stolen television set helped start a chain of events that made history.
At the time, Steve was working at Hewlett-Packard on projects that included an early movie system for hotel rooms. One day, he wandered into a bowling alley. Amid the pings, clangs and musical chimes of the ubiquitous mechanical pinball machines, he encountered something unprecedented. It was called Pong. And it consisted of a stark black-and-white TV display with two movable lines and a bouncing dot that invited players to challenge each other at table tennis – without the table. As soon as he saw it, “Woz” knew he had to have one.
A Vision in Search of a Screen
Steve was exceptionally talented at designing circuitry utilizing the increasingly affordable and versatile electronic chips already transforming the electronics industry. Knowing he could never afford to buy an actual arcade Pong game for himself, he set out to build his own. Figuring out how to create the circuitry was one thing. But to actually see the results, Steve was missing one critical component: a TV. Since his own set had been stolen from his apartment, he paid a visit to the most convenient place to get a loan. And his company’s credit union came through.
The Seeds of an Apple
It wasn’t long before Steve found something even more engaging to do with a handful of chips and a television screen. In this time before the era of mass-produced personal computers, only hobbyists with rudimentary, hand-assembled systems had the opportunity to explore the digital realm at home. On June 29, 1975, Steve tested the first working prototype of the Apple 1. And for the first time in history, a character generated by a home computer appeared on a TV screen.
Digital Power to the People
Less than a year later, together with Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak founded Apple Computer Inc. Introduction of the Apple II model soon followed. It was the first personal computer able to display color graphics. It also included a keyboard and floppy disk drive, as well as a built-in programming language and easy expandability. The Apple II offered just what was needed to make the leap from a hobbyist’s project to a useful tool for a wider consumer audience. And how that audience has grown!
Committed to Amplifying Innovation
Since leaving Apple in 1985, Steve has found new ways to enhance the lives of people in communities across the country. Making significant investments of both his time and resources in education, he “adopted” his local school district in Los Gatos, California, providing students and teachers with hands-on teaching, and donations of state-of-the-art technology equipment. He founded the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and was the founding sponsor of the Tech Museum, Silicon Valley Ballet and Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose.
When he received the prestigious Heinz Award for Technology, the Economy and Employment, the endorsement captured the scope of Steve’s accomplishments succinctly. It honors Woz for “single-handedly designing the first personal computer and for then redirecting his lifelong passion for mathematics and electronics toward lighting the fires of excitement for education in grade school students and their teachers.”
Not a bad record for someone who once needed a loan for a television to bring his own personal vision to life – and found the help he needed at the community-minded branch of his local credit union.

Ahhhhh! Are you serious? This is nine weeks pregnant, in a first pregnancy?
Granted, there's some weird driver's-license-esque shadowing going on there, but what the H? I'm blowing up!
According to the Internet (how on earth did our mothers survive their pregnancies without the Internet?), I'm probably just the most bloated I've ever been in my life and it'll be a month or two before that bubble of whatever is replaced by actual baby.
Or else I'm well on my way to looking like a beached whale come May 2010.
Quotes from maternity shirts seen online... Anyone have any other good ones?
I'm not fat, I'm pregnant
I'm a virgin... but this is an old T-shirt
I think I might be pregnant (worn on someone far along)
Touch the belly, lose the hand
Watermelon smuggler
Coming to a hospital room near you
Birth control is for wimps
I grow people. What's your superpower?
Yup... I swallowed a basketball
Don't touch me. It's contagious.
1. Awwww....you belly is cute! I recall residing permanently in sweatpants around week 10 or so of my first pregnancy due to bloating. Fun times. Oh, and because I'm dead tired at 9:10 in the evening, I initially misread "beached whale" as "bleached whale." Well, I certainly felt like a bleached whale at the end of my pregnancies. Come to think of it, 10 weeks post-partum, I'm still feeling like a bleached whale. Wait, this isn't ending right...
2. If only I could wear sweatpants to work! I keep undoing the buttons... not good...

Pitching Drills: Separating the Good From the Bad
Some pitching drills are effective, some are borderline dangerous. Selecting the right ones can be difficult. STACK Expert Kasey Esser shows you how to navigate the landscape to choose great drills and avoid bad ones.
MLB pitching arm slots
For the inexperienced pitcher, parent or coach, selecting decent pitching drills can be overwhelming. With such a wide variety available, it's hard to determine what's effective and what's potentially dangerous.
A quality pitching drill can help program a pitcher's arm for pitching delivery and follow-through while reducing injury risk. A wrong drill can teach a pitcher bad habits that affect his performance on the mound and potentially set him up for a career-ending injury.
The downside risk makes some experts advise pitchers to avoid drills altogether. But I've seen them produce tremendous results in too many of my pitchers to discredit them. What athletes, parents and their coaches need is a way to navigate the landscape of pitching drills. The following will help you know what to look for so you can separate the good from the bad.
Good Pitching Drills
No two pitchers ever throw exactly the same, but their deliveries share three components: balance, timing and power. (See how to work on some of these: The Keys to Improving Pitching Speed and Power.) Every good pitching drill must address at least two of these components. It also must be tailored to your individual style. For example, say you specialize in sidearm pitching. A drill that teaches throwing downhill and forward trunk tilt would be a waste of your time.
When sifting through the alternatives, ask yourself the following questions:
1. What do you want the drill to accomplish?
2. What are your individual needs and mechanical tendencies?
3. Will the drill translate easily to your pitching delivery?
My Three Favorite Pitching Drills
Torque & Turns
The emphasis here is on getting the arms in sync while working on good trunk rotation. It also lets you focus on controlling your glove arm (For more on that concept, click here).
Power Catapults
This drill is great for teaching good weight shift from back to front, while developing good rhythm and timing. Emphasize good forward trunk tilt, finishing over a firm front leg.
Toes-In Hip-Loaders
This is one of my favorite drills for giving pitchers the feel for loading their hips. When you open your hips too early, you lose power. Start off with your toes pointed in. Feel some tension in your hips. Then load up while you move out and drive with your back leg.
Bad Pitching Drills
First, a pitching drill should not be counterproductive. Second, it should not negatively impact any of the three components. For instance, if a drill is great for balance but hurts your natural timing, it's ineffective. Make sure the drill does not kill your momentum or train bad habits. This is often caused when a drill overly requires you to pause throughout the movements. The end result of training with these types of drills can be a slow, robotic release.
3 problematic pitching drills
1. The One Knee Drill: Often taught in steps. Start with one knee on the ground and the other knee up facing the target. Go through your pitching motion, pausing once you get your arm up. I really don't like this one. This is an example of a drill that kills momentum by pausing. It also trains the bad habit of a collapsing front knee.
2. The Balance Drill: Designed to get you to a consistent "balance point." You pause in the process of the pitch at the high point of your leg lift. This completely stops momentum and inhibits you from putting your entire body into the delivery.
3. The Power-T Drill: Focuses on getting to a position (the "Power-T" or "Power Position"). This drill often leads to pitchers becoming mechanical and stiff rather than fluid and explosive.

What ports and protocols does Censys scan?
For a complete list, see What does Censys scan?
How frequently does Censys scan the Internet?
We perform all IPv4 scans at least once a week and scan domains daily.
What access does Censys provide for researchers?
We provide academic and other non-commercial researchers with free access to Censys datasets on Google BigQuery as well as up-to-date raw scan data. This access is strictly limited to non-commercial use. [more information]
Can I opt-out of Censys scans?
However, if you wish to opt-out, you can configure your firewall to drop traffic from the subnet we use for the measurements:
Why does Censys find fewer hosts than Shodan?
While Censys often shows fewer hosts than Shodan, this is a difference in what results are displayed—not an artifact of Censys finding fewer in hosts. Censys only shows the current state of the Internet—we quickly prune out hosts that were not seen within the last week. In contrast, Shodan does not prune out old records. We are aggressive in pruning out old data because this allows users to accurately understand how the Internet is changing over time and prevent over counting due to DHCP churn and other IP changes. We've done in-depth of analysis of the devices found by both services in our research paper.
How does Censys geolocate hosts?
We provide geolocation data using the Maxmind GeoIP2 City Lite dataset.
What is Censys' relationship with the University of Michigan and Google?
Censys originally started as an academic research project at the University of Michigan. From 2015–2017, Censys was operated at Michigan with generous support from the Google Anti-Abuse Team. During this time, our license restricted access to non-commercial research. Since then, we've "spun-out" from the University of Michigan into an independent company.
What is Censys' relationship with the ZMap Project?
Censys was started by the same team that created ZMap, and Censys uses many of the ZMap tools to collect and annotate data. The ZMap Project is and will remain an independent open source project, but is primarily maintained by the Censys development team.
We are staunch supporters of open source software and the Censys team plans to continue publishing new tools under the ZMap umbrella.
What if I have a different question?

Earth Prime
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Earth Prime (or Earth-Prime) is a term sometimes used in works of speculative fiction, most notably in DC Comics, involving parallel universes or a multiverse, and refers either to the universe containing "our" Earth, or to a parallel world with a bare minimum of divergence points from Earth as we know it — often the absence or near-absence of metahumans, or with their existence confined to fictional narratives like comics. The "Earth Prime" of a given fictional setting may or may not have an intrinsic value to or vital connection to the other Earths it exists alongside (although it appears to be the case that such Prime Earths — and sometimes the 'central universes' in which those Prime Earths exist as well — are portrayed in fiction to be vital to the existence of the other Earths).
DC Comics[edit]
Notable charactersSuperboy-Prime
Legion of Super-Heroes (2004 team), Ultraa
First appearanceThe Flash #179 (May, 1968)
PublisherDC Comics
In the DC Multiverse, Earth-Prime is the true Earth from which all the other worlds within the multiverse originate, the actual reality where the readers live, DC Comics operates as a publisher, and all superheroes are fictional. However, Earth Prime became an alternate reality in its first appearance in The Flash #179 (May, 1968), when the Flash accidentally travels there from Earth-One by being pushed by a creature called The Nok. The Flash, stranded, contacts DC Comics editor Julius Schwartz,[1] who helps him construct a cosmic treadmill to return to Earth-One. Eventually it was stated that the writers of DC Comics of Earth Prime subconsciously base their stories on the adventures of the heroes on Earth-One and Earth-Two.
In The Flash #228 (July/Aug 1974),[2] Earth Prime's Cary Bates travels to Earth-One, where he discovers that the stories he writes are not only based on events on Earth-One, but can actually influence these events as well. This power turns for the worse in Justice League of America #123 (October 1975),[3] when Bates is accidentally transported to Earth-Two. The interdimensional trip temporarily turns Bates into a supervillain, and he quickly kills the Justice Society of America. Luckily fellow DC writer Elliot S. Maggin, with the help of the Justice League and the Spectre, is able to restore matters on both Earths in Justice League of America #124 (November 1975).[4]
The first superhero is Ultraa, introduced in Justice League of America #153. Like Superman, Ultraa was the sole survivor of a destroyed alien world, rocketed to Earth-Prime as a baby. After his first encounter with the Justice League, Ultraa decided Earth-Prime was not ready for superheroes and relocated to Earth-One. Post-Crisis, when there was no longer an Earth-Prime or greater multiverse, Ultraa was retconned into being from the planet Almerac, homeworld of Maxima.
The second superhero (later villain) is Superboy-Prime, the true Superman from which all the other Supermen originate. He first appeared in DC Comics Presents #87 (Nov. 1985). This Superboy's powers first manifested around the time of the passage of Halley's Comet in 1985. Just after manifesting his powers, Superboy-Prime met Earth-One's Superman. Very soon thereafter Earth-Prime was destroyed in Crisis on Infinite Earths #10. Superboy-Prime escaped his universe's destruction, and later joined Earth-Two's Superman, Earth-Two's Lois Lane-Kent, and Earth-Three's Alexander Luthor in a "paradise dimension".
Superboy Prime possesses powers far exceeding those of the modern "New-Earth" Superman (Kal-El).
In issue #6 of the Infinite Crisis mini-series, a now anti-heroic Superboy-Prime convinced Alexander Luthor that Earth-Prime was the ideal world and urged him to draw his inspiration for making a new Earth from Earth-Prime. Luthor began searching through the myriad Earths for Earth-Prime and, in a metatextual nod to Earth Prime's original status as the keystone Earth, looks directly at the readers and reaches out towards them to grab our reality.
Legion of Super-Heroes[edit]
In 2008 the Final Crisis tie in series Legion of Three Worlds, makes various references to Earth-Prime, while Superboy-Prime is still looking to make his "Perfect Earth". He starts by rebuilding the Legion of Super-Villains to fight Superman and the three versions of the Legion of Super-Heroes. During the battle, the 2004 team's Element Lad created Kryptonite that unexpectedly affected Superboy-Prime. The Kryptonite of New Earth had no effect on Superman (Kal-L) and Prime during Infinite Crisis.
At the end of the mini series, it's revealed that Earth-Prime has been reborn and Superboy-Prime was returned there. It was also revealed that the Threeboot Legion are from Earth-Prime's future. The current status of Superboy-Prime after the events of Flashpoint remains unclear, but he has not reappeared since 2011. The character may have been obliterated by the continuity change and shifts within the multiverse that occurred after that core DC event.
The Multiversity: Ultra Comics and Earth-33[edit]
In September 2011, The New 52 rebooted DC's continuity. In this new timeline, Earth-33 is introduced in Grant Morrison's The Multiversity series, as the additional designation for Earth-Prime. This Earth continues the tradition of having minimal superhero activity – in this case, the minds of Earth-33's comic book readers have empowered a superhero named Ultra Comics. Ultra is the only metahuman on that world, fighting the encroachment of the "Gentry" (the series' lead villains) by confining their presence on 'our' world to the pages of an 'entrapment' comic book built around the title character.
Marvel Comics[edit]
In the fictional Marvel Universe, the 'Earth Prime' of that setting is designated by extradimensional cartographers as Earth-1218,[5] where real-life readers buy Marvel Comics. On some occasions, various characters of the Marvel Universe, looking for their version of God, encounter 'real world' figures such as Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. Yet other characters (such as She-Hulk and Deadpool) are capable of breaking the fourth wall, addressing the readers directly. Still others, such as the Earth's Watcher, Uatu, is possessed of the ability to see all alternate Earths in the Marvel Universe setting at will, including the real one in which he and all other beings are nothing more than fictional characters (in some early issues of What If?, the Watcher actually addressed the reader by showing him which issues of which comics the past exploits of a given character could be found in). Having a similar name, "Prime Earth" is the new designation of "Earth-616".[6]
Earth Prime, as used in the television show Sliders, is the name of the alternate Earth where the four original sliders (Quinn Mallory, Wade Welles, Rembrandt Brown, and Maximillian Arturo) started their journey. This Earth was the same as ours until 1997 or 1998, when the Kromaggs slid onto Earth Prime and conquered it.
The Dark Tower[edit]
Much of the action in the last few books of Stephen King's Dark Tower series takes place in "the keystone world", essentially the Earth Prime concept under a different name, complete with appearances by King himself as a character.
The Chronicles of Amber[edit]
Though not using the term "Earth Prime", Roger Zelazny's The Chronicles of Amber fantasy series features a similar concept. In the Amber stories, Amber is the only true world; all others, including our Earth, are but "shadows" of the tension between it and Chaos.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles[edit]
In the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles made-for-TV film, Turtles Forever, Ch'rell (or 2003 series's version of The Shredder), took the technodrome from his 1987 series counterpart and Krang and upgraded it with Utrom technology. He later decided to destroy Turtle-Prime to destroy the multiverse. He was stopped by the three teams of turtles from the Prime, 1987, and 2003 universes. Although the true "Earth Prime" of the movie would be that inhabited by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird in the closing shot, shown putting the finishing touches on the first issue of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book.
In other media[edit]
• In the DC animated feature Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, the villainous Owlman's ultimate goal is to locate a universe that he designates as Earth Prime, the so-called "original" universe that all other universes stem from, and destroy it, thus leading to the destruction of all reality as well, due to believing that the existence of a multiverse meant nothing truly matters. Earth Prime is shown to be a desolate barren wasteland of a planet which has been ripped out of orbit, with ruins as far as the eye can see. It is unknown what exactly caused its desolation, though Owlman reasons that mankind was destroyed by itself.
• In the final episode of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, after saving the multiverse from Spider-Carnage, an evil version of himself from an alternate Earth, Spider-Man briefly visits Earth Prime and meets his own creator, Stan Lee.

Gallery: America’s Hottest Cinema Superheroes
Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to look good in nipple-baring fetish gear? Hell yeah, we’re into superheroes. And while some may say that it feels a little wrong to call Superman “hot” (we’re all into the messed up Bruce Wayne and Tony Starks nowadays), the truth is that those icy blues that Christopher Reeve sported as Kal-El could melt a heart made of kryptonite.*
So here it is ladies, your pictorial of the best supernatural pecs we’ve ever seen on screen. And yes, we’ve counted the cape crusaders as well. Because most of the time, their superpower is money.
*Wait, does that make sense? If Superman stood far enough away to be affected by kryptonite, could he theoretically destroy it with his laser eyes? Dorks, discuss!

A very young widow struggles to rebuild her life and find love. Edith Lyle's Secret follows the heroine as she kicks against the pricks of her treacherous, social-climbing mother. Edith elevates her self, not through social facades, but through personal refinement and faith, even as her mother steals her newborn baby from her drugged arms and abandons the child at a hospital. In a classic Mary Jane Holmes style, (like an American Jane Austen) the story grabs the reader's attention and keeps it until the last word.
Included in this version are essays on Faith and Family Critical Theory.

Homeowner association in Miami, Florida wants to raise my HOA monthly fee.
Asked over 3 years ago - Miami, FL
I purchased a townhouse in Miami, Florida 2 years ago. I have always paid my HOA
fees in due time. My HOA wants me to pay now $ 50.00 extra for the next five months to cover their losses. As per the homeowner association president, there
was a bad administration previously, and they are facing a $ 25,000 deficit
plus the fact that many others property owners are not paying their HOA dues.
My HOA president told me that If I do not pay the extra fee, they can put a lean on my property. Can they really do that? What are my choices? How should I respond to them.

Answered . I do not practice in Florida, so I can only offer you general thoughts rather than specific legal advice. When an association is running a deficit, the only tool they have until they collect old debts from non-paying owners is to raise the fees. Most associations will have that authority. As long as the increase is uniform in the manner required by your documents, they probably have the authority. There may or may not be a homeowner approval requirement, but that will be governed by your association documents.
If you do not pay, the association generally will have the right to put a lien on your property. You would then be on the list of the owners who are not paying, and the association could proceed against you just as it can proceed against other owners who do not pay.
What are your alternatives. In my view, one of the choices is not to refuse to pay. Failure to pay comes with too many downside risks for you, including late charges, interest, and attorney's fees for collecting from you. A better choice would be to pay and get involved with your association in its efforts to manage the property and collect from the owners who are not paying. You could get on a committee set up by the association to contact and work with non-paying owners, or you could even run for a board position where you would be one of the decision makers. In the current economy, all associations are having more problems with non-paying owners. For those that pay, it often means a short term increase in fees to keep the property maintained and preserve your property values. The situation is unfortunate, but with hard work by those active members that are paying regularly, hopefully the situation can be turned around quickly.

How To Deal With Jet Lag and Long Flights
Hey y’all! I hope all of you had a great weekend. We are at the final head of a heat wave and thank god for that because we have been having to keep Blue inside because of how hot it is and he is not liking it at all. But I have been able to take him out later at night when the sun has gone down and let him run around and get all of his energy out so thank god for that. How do y’all deal with your dogs and the high heat that has been going on?
It is no secret that nobody likes dealing with jet lag when they travel and you certainly don’t like missing out on any part of your trip because of what the time change does to your body. As I have gotten older and started traveling to places with different times, I have come upon jet lag in some pretty severe ways and realized that I needed some things to help me overcome it. So as I have been traveling so much in the last few years, I have picked up on some tips and tricks for how to handle jet lag and long flights and thought I would share them with you today.
P.S. Hope y’all enjoy the funny pictures of us sleeping on the planes and in cars!
1. Have enough sleep before you leave for your flight– Sleep deficit will make your jet lag worse so I always try to get a good night sleep before I hop on a long flight.
2. Fly into wherever you are going in the morning or later in the evening– I have always been told that it is easier to fly in and be at your destination in the morning time, so you have all day to get yourself adjusted and can start walking around and exploring, or later at night so you can just go ahead and go to bed.
3. Sleep on the plane– This is a give in if you are on a long flight and want to hit the ground running wherever you are going. Sleeping on the plane may not be the most comfortable but it sure will prove handy when you land. If you are comfortable with it, I would suggest taking a small dose of melatonin that you can buy from your pharmacy that will help you fall asleep and stay asleep a little easier.
4. Have a good meal before getting on the plane– This has been passed down to me by my dad, the expert traveler, because you never know if the flight is going to have in-flight meals or snacks as well as it will prove you good to have a good meal in you when you get off the plane!
5. Avoid alcohol and caffeine– It’s not the sleep imbibing drug we all think it is. Alcohol will keep you awake and when you combine it with the jet lag haze it can get nasty. Caffeine just messes with your internal clock on a normal day. Avoid alcohol and caffeine the day of your arrival too.
6. Reserve a good seat– If you are on a flight for 5 hours or more I would seriously suggest looking into first class or business class, whatever the plane offers. Being in these kinds of seats will allow you to have the space to stretch out, lie down and will even make a massive difference in your jet lag recovery. Here are some other tips when picking your seat: If you want more leg room, opt for exit rows; If you want to avoid crying children, stay away from the front of the plane as this is often where you’ll find special provision for babies on international flights; If you want to be able to move around the plane (or have quick access to the bathrooms) make sure you get an aisle seat.
7. Wear comfortable clothes, especially on long flights– I am not the type of person who dresses up for flights and never will be. I dress for comfort and with the idea in mind that I am going to be in a seat, trying to be comfortable, for several hours. This will really help those long flights just with the idea of once again making sure you are comfortable.
8. Get up and walk around in whatever city or place you have traveled to– It will prove to be super handy if you get up and walk and stretch and get that blood flowing. Trust me, this one really works!
9. DO NOT sleep at the wrong time– No matter how tired you are when you arrive in your new time zone, you gotta put those match sticks in and stay awake. Wait until it is bed time. It’s okay to hit the hay as soon as the sun goes down, but it is best you wait till then. Help your body get used to the new time zone ASAP. If your head hits the pillow before it is time to go to bed, aka a nap, you are screwed and your next day finally in your new place will be all jacked up.
10. Expose yourself to daylight– When you arrive at your destination get out in the sun. The sunlight will wake you up into the new time zone.
Do y’all have any other tips for how to handle jet lag and long flights? What do y’all do to handle jet lag and long flights?
I hope y’all enjoyed the funny sleeping pictures of my sister, my dad, and I! Thought that would be a funny touch and since one of us always falls asleep and someone always grabs a picture of it, why not share. As always, thank y’all for stopping by and reading. I will see y’all back here next time.
Love, Dani

I'm in the process of purchasing a 1st floor flat in a
Resolved Question:
Hi, I'm in the process of purchasing a 1st floor flat in a London terrace conversion (ground floor flat, first floor flat) specifically on a buy-to-let basis. Our report has come back and has indicated that the Freeholder has a clause in the lease stating that we must seek his permission to rent the property out. We have asked for this clause to be waived, but the freeholder will not agree to do this. I'm very concerned to invest £380k with a mortgage on a property that needs to be rented out where the freeholder seems to have us over a barrel with this clause and the future sales of the flat with this restrictive clause. Do you have any legally binding options that we could have the freeholder agree to that will protect our investment based on renting this property out? Kind regards, Damien

Hi Damien,
Thanks for your enquiry.
Does the clause in the Lease put an absolute prohibition on renting out or does it say "not to let, other than with the consent of the Freeholder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld"?
Kind Regards
Customer: replied 1 year ago.
Hi AI,I have the lease in front of me and it sates "The the lessee will not without the consent of the lessor (which may be granted or withheld as the lessors think fit) grant any underlease or tenancy of the whole of the premises".If useful, I can send you via email the lease, title, deed of variation etc.The following is the from our solicitors report:
h. You cannot part with part only of the premises, as distinct from the whole.i. You are not permitted to play any musical instrument, TV or Radio so as to be audible outside the property between the hours of 12pm and 7am.j. You are not permitted to expose any articles of clothing from the window or place any flower box, pot or other object on the window ledges.k. Upon completion of the sale of this property to you, we must serve notice upon the Landlord/Freeholder notifying them of your interest and that of your Mortgagee. A fee of £240.00 is payable.l. You are not permitted to let the property without the prior written consent of the Landlord/Freeholder. If I had been involved in the drafting of the Deed of Variation I would have requested this clause be removed. I believe that in reality it is not enforced, however you should note that it is still a binding clause and as such you should abide by it. The Landlord is not allowed to unreasonably refuse to issue consent.

Hi AI, just checking you saw my reply?
Expert: Aston Lawyer replied 1 year ago.
Hi, I do apologise for the delay in replying- I had o unexpectedly collect my daughter from school! Where consent is required under the lease to sublet the Freeholder cannot unreasonably withhold consent. For example a reasonable withholding of consent would be where the proposed tenant is a commercial tenant and is likely to break the terms of the lease. The Freeholder is also able to charge a reasonable fee to cover their costs in relation to granting consent. So, your Solicitor is quite correct. In an ideal world, the clause would not be in the Lease, but as it stands, it won't prevent you from renting out the property. I hope this assists and sets your mind at rest. If I have helped, I would be grateful if you could rate my answer. Kind Regards Al

Republican official prefers Custer to Indians
RNC Official Says NM Governor Disrespected Custer by Meeting American Indians
By Rob CapricciosoPat Rogers, a Republican National Committee (RNC) leader, is facing calls for his dismissal after telling the staff of Gov. Susana Martinez, R-N.M., that because she agreed to meet with American Indians, she disrespected the memory of Col. George Armstrong Custer.Daily Kos has the best explanation of Rogers's offensive e-mail:
Does "Custer" e-mail portend GOP's "Last Stand?"
By Deep HarmDated June 9, the email from "Patrick J. Rogers," was addressed to "senior members of the governor’s administration" and was obtained by Independent Source PAC.Subject: FW: New Mexico Governor meets with American Indian Leaders in tribal-state summit
Category: Red Category
Quislings, French surrender monkeys, secret supporters (all along) of JAJ [Janice Arnold Jones]
The state is going to hell. Col. Weh would not have dishonored Col Custer in this manner.
I hope who ever recommended this is required to read the entire redist [redistricting law suit] transcript and sit through the entire meeting with the Gov.
The email includes a link to an Associated Press article about the June 8 summit held in Mescalero, NM. The meeting was a requirement of the State Tribal Collaboration Act.The State Tribal Collaboration Act provides the framework for the state and tribes to work together to develop successful solutions to the many challenges that face New Mexico's Native American citizens. In addition it also mandates a yearly Summit. The Act requires cabinet-level agencies to develop policies that promote beneficial collaboration between the state and tribal governments; designate agency tribal liaisons; provide for culturally appropriate training to state agency employees who work with tribes; and, provide annual reporting that accounts for each agency's accomplishments pursuant to the Act.The email's reference to "quislings" (synonymous with "traitor') suggests that meeting with Native American leaders--even when required by law--is a betrayal. However, it may also have been a reference to Governor Martinez's public statements opposing party positions on immigration and cuts to Social Security disability payments. Martinez was the first Latina to be elected Governor of a state.
Reactions to Rogers's e-mail
Capriccioso continues with some reactions to the e-mail:“George Armstrong Custer may be regarded as a kind of military hero by Pat Rogers, but to the Native peoples of America Custer represents the bellicose imperialism that was responsible for the systematic slaughter of American Indians throughout this continent,” according to an e-mail being circulated by ProgressNow.
“Such a blatantly racist statement against our Native people is offensive from anyone, but to come from a national GOP leader and lobbyist for some of our country’s largest corporations is indefensible,” said Pat Davis, executive director of ProgressNow New Mexico, in a statement.
“These e-mails show the contempt and disrespect New Mexico’s Republican leadership has for our Native people. Unless they drop Pat Rogers immediately, we can rightly assume that those organizations he speaks for, including the RNC, Modrall Sperling and his lobbying clients, feel the same way.”
“Well, there’s an entirely different angle to this,” added Chris Stearns, a Navajo lawyer and chairman of the Seattle Human Rights Commission. “I think you could argue that when Gov. Martinez met with Pat Rogers, she disrespected the memory of intelligent people everywhere.”
Custer-Friendly Official Has Backing of Republican National Committee
By Rob CapricciosoRogers’ words have since made nationwide headlines, and he has drawn few defenders, although the RNC has ignored calls for his dismissal.
“We disagree with Committeeman Rogers’ comments, and he has rightfully apologized for them,” Ted Kwong, a spokesman for the RNC, told ICTMN over the weekend. “We are a big tent party that is focused on speaking to all Americans who want a different direction after nearly four years of deficit spending and failed leadership. We will continue to talk about how to create jobs for the 23 million Americans who are looking for work, despite the desperate efforts by Democrats to make this election about anything but their dismal economic record.”
Rogers’ apology came in an August 25 Albuquerque Journal article, in which he said he was attempting to be funny: “I made a poor attempt at humor in a private e-mail, and it’s being twisted by a partisan group,” he told the newspaper. “I certainly intended no offense, but I do apologize.”
Many American Indians have not taken Rogers’ words as a joke, and the RNC has not heeded calls for a reprimand. Officials there also did not acknowledge that he has not apologized directly to American Indians.
“He has apologized, no other changes to announce,” Kwong said when pressed on whether Rogers will continue to serve with the RNC. Kwong would not say if Rogers was available for an interview. Rogers has not responded to several requests from ICTMN.
The apology and the RNC’s reaction have fallen flat in many circles of Indian country.
“Only the geniuses at the Republican National Committee could figure out a way to send out an apology about Native Americans without mentioning Native Americans,” said Chris Stearns, a Navajo lawyer and chairman of the Seattle Human Rights Commission.
“It is appalling that one of the leading organizers of the RNC is spewing such garbage,” said Rhonda LeValdo-Gayton, president of the Native American Journalists Association. “I wonder if he even knows that Custer didn’t deal with the tribes in New Mexico?”
Calls come for Pat Rogers' resignation after controversial comments"How you manage in three sentences to offend the Republican Party, Native American people and countless New Mexicans all at once, I don't know," said Par Davis of Progress New Mexico.
Now, the All-Indian Pueblo Council is calling for Rogers to be removed from his position saying, "The military aggression carried out in the late 1800's under the command of General Custer resulted in the slaughter and killing of scores of Native American men, women and children. I can only wonder, what was Mr. Rogers thinking?"
Why Rogers hates Indians
I can't imagine where the humor is in Rogers's e-mail. I'd love to hear him explain the "joke" to everyone.
The only obvious thing is Rogers's angry tone. He isn't joshing about Indians, he's seething about them.
As we might've guessed, Rogers isn't some neutral official who has no dealings with Indians. As a columnist explains, Rogers actively opposes them. Which explains why his e-mail is scornful.
Racial Bigotry Comes Out of the Closet in New Mexico
By Harold MonteauPatrick Rogers attempted to explain away the e-mail as an attempt at humor by his use of what can be viewed, at the least, as an ethnically insensitive remark, or, at the worst, a demonstration of racially bigoted disdain for the Native American segment of New Mexico’s rather diverse populace. His excuse of poor judgment in his expression of “humor” was defended by the State Republican Committee Chairman and several other persons in the Republican hierarchy.
The Modrall Sperling Firm often represent clients that are on the opposite side of Tribal interests, in business related matters and litigation in which the firm represents companies that argue against Tribal regulatory, taxation, employment and environmental authority, especially regarding commercial activities on or near the reservations. They represent the Oklahoma Tax Commission that litigates against Tribes at the drop of a cigarette butt or drop of gas. The firm has about 80 attorneys according to their website. The partners and lawyers in the firm are primarily Anglo males, with about half a dozen attorneys with Hispanic surnames and no attorneys with biographical info indicating Native American heritage.
The one Native American in the firm left last spring to become a District Judge, having been appointed to the vacancy by the Republican Governor, Susana Martinez. The judge quickly came to the defense of Patrick Rogers in a public statement indicating that he did not believe Mr. Rogers was racially prejudiced. (Until now, I guess.)
Predictably, Tribal leaders were incensed and the All Indian Pueblo Council (AIPC) Chairman Chandler Sanchez, in a statement published in the Albuquerque Journal, condemned the use of the “racist in tone” remarks. They demanded that Rogers step down from his seat as a National Republican Committee member.
Comment: Another conservative, another racist. Sigh.
This incident pulls back the curtain on racism against Indians. In a "private" e-mail, Rogers implied that Indians didn't deserve anything. Custer, who tried to kill them, was more deserving of recognition than they were. There's a hint that the world would be better off if Custer had succeeded.
Rogers tried to pass this off as a "joke," which is what almost every racist does. That, of course, is ridiculous. For starters, there isn't a smidgen of humor in his e-mail.
More to the point, it's an unfiltered look at what this Republican thinks. In private, you're more likely to "joke" about what you really think. I'd say at least part of him wishes Custer had killed the Indians.
Window into racist mindset
In public, Rogers works for what sounds like a rabidly anti-Indian law firm. And here's the final connection. Rogers shows us how private bigotry translates to public policy.
Rogers and people like him don't oppose tribal sovereignty or gaming because of high-minded principles. They oppose these things because they're racists. They have an atavistic feeling that Indians don't belong in the modern world. That the "savages," their reservations, and their casinos should vanish like they were supposed to in the 19th century.
Most politicians are smart enough not to post their bigoted opinions on some anti-Indian or white-supremacist site. "Private" e-mails that people forward to friends are about as clear a window as you'll get into their mindsets. And Rogers's mindset is dripping with prejudice. There's no other explanation for his "joke."

This is but one fine example of the populist scorn many elected officials feel and legislate about native peoples. We love to demonize and criticize the politicians and anyone with authority after we elect them and we can spot the ignorance that exists in media talking heads like Rush Limbaugh and GLenn Beck, but until voters and citizens take to the streets with the vigor and nerve whites do with the Tea Party Movement, nothing ever gets done. Instead, we voice our disgusts and shock after the fact that these racist are elected and hold positions in public office and then its too late. I feel the problems are a grass roots problem. I have heard that some public school teachers are teaching that Europeans arrived before indigenous cultures with the chant and encouragement of a new generation of racist being bred in the classrooms across America. My answer is which Europeans built Mesa Verde, the Italians or Germans? Its our own fault for not voting or being politically active that allows this kind of stupidity and ignorance to exist and harbor past the new millenea.

What was Custer's last speech like? "They say fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Well, as God as my witness, I am that fool." Sounds about right.
More relevant, New Mexico's Indians fought Custer how? That's...several hundred miles difference, IIRC.

Why do many Americans uplift someone who lost all his men in a dusty dismal defeat? In this country there is only first place and no room or honor for second place or last. Someone might counter with, "Yeah but he was successful and a hero during the Civil War." And I would reply, "So he is a hero for leading the charge to kill "Johnny Rebel" aka, "White Southerners?" (Never mind the fact that some folks in the South never really got over this fact, losing the war. Hmm might have to ask someone from the South what they think of Custer). But then when we look at his Civil War record we forget that this record eventually ended in a dusty, dismal, defeat. Perhaps that is what keeps him uplifted by some Americans, they refuse to accept that their "war hero" was defeated by one of the greatest "light calvary" in world history, Lakota and Northern Cheyenne Warriors. It is time to begin the dethronement of Custer and place him in somewhere in the forgotten pages of history listing him under loser.

Solid Advice For Dealing With Back Pain
TIP! The importance of a good, supportive mattress cannot be overstated when it comes to preventing back pain. As a general rule, softer mattresses cause more back pain than they help relieve.
You may be under the impression that medication is the only way to combat your back pain, but the truth is that there are many different alternatives that can be just as effective. This article will provide you with several tips that can help you when you are coping with back discomfort.
While waiting to get medical attention for an injured back, it is common to experience extreme discomfort while sitting down and lying in bed. Various types of back injuries will benefit from lying flat and bending the knees. The muscles and tendons that go from your back down through your legs have less tension when you lay this way.
Always pay attention to back discomfort! Many people ignore the signals that their body is sending them. A lot of people try their best to ignore the pain in their back. If you move around too much while still in pain, it only becomes worse. Take a break and move around slower until the pain lets up.
If you get back injuries easily, through genetics or lifestyle choices, see a chiropractor regularly when you feel pain. Consulting a chiropractor on a regular basis could help you in fixing the small problems before they become serious injuries.
TIP! Back pain is caused by spasms in the muscles in your back. Relaxing these muscles is key.
When people are moving things around in a hurry, they often try to lift items that are much too far away. This can be a recurring problem for people who are in a hurry. You have to ensure you move physically closer to far away objects, and that you do things the correct way.
TIP! Simple remedies may be all that’s required to treat some back pain. Getting a few days of good rest is often helpful as well.
Starting with the basics is recommended when dealing with pain in your back. Even resting your back for a couple of days can help ease pain. There are some great anti-inflamatories available on the market, such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen, that can really help you get through those tough days. You might also want to try used a cold compress or a heated pad to soothe your back.
TIP! Your doctor may recommend surgery if all else fails, or if there are problems that cannot be treated with medication and therapy. If other methods haven’t worked, then surgery is usually required.
Reportedly 2 of every 3 people eventually suffer back discomfort. Lots of people believe a single thing or something that occurred prior to having the pain is the trigger that caused their back pain. Usually, it’s many events that contribute to back pain.
TIP! Contrary to popular belief, in order to relieve back pain you must exercise frequently. Many people who have back pain feel that it would make things worse, when it would actually help.
Dealing with back discomfort can really put a crimp in your routine. Read these paragraphs and you can learn ways to prevent this suffering from occurring, or at least methods to sooth the back once they begin. You will once again be able to schedule your life around what you want to do, not what your back will let you.

mattman Newbie
I'm in Indianapolis. I bought a Masterbuilt electric cabinet style smoker in August 2013 and so far so good. It doesn't seem like you have to spend a bunch to get good results. I come from a cooking family with two brothers that are real chefs. I'm not afraid of the complex stuff but I bought this for the ease of prepping a weeks worth of delicious meet at a time for my family of 5 (teenage girls can put down some food, believe me). I'm committed to making quality fresh food at home. I'm trying to do the Paleo style of eating as much as possible so this was part of the plan. I'll post some specific questions in the proper forums. Happy smoking!

Keep the girls fead. They will feed you in your golden years!
Happy smoken.

What is clean energy?
Clean energy has both low greenhouse gas emissions and is renewable. It is also worth comparing the advantages and disadvantages of clean energy sources to explore what they cost and what effect they might have on the environment around them.
Table of Contents
Clean energy definition
As defined by Cornell Law School, clean energy is renewable energy that does not emit greenhouse gasses (GHG). Depending on the criteria on which you judge clean energy, sources might be wind, solar, tidal, geothermal, nuclear, hydro, or biomass. Criteria might include environmental side effects, like air pollution, deforestation or hazardous waste in addition to low carbon and renewable resources.
Renewable energy or renewables come from resources that are not depleted when in use (Oxford dictionary). Non-renewable energy comes from resources that are finite and could run out. Oil, gas and coal are examples of non-renewable energy.
Greenhouse gasses are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gasses and water vapor (National Resource Defense Council). 76% of global human-caused emissions are carbon dioxide (CO2).
Releasing these gasses into the atmosphere contributes to the greenhouse effect. The natural greenhouse effect is beneficial, it keeps the planet warm by trapping the sun. Greenhouse gasses add to the natural levels and so the world is getting warmer, causing all sorts of issues with our climate..
Clean energy examples
Based on just these two criteria, renewable and low carbon, clean energy examples are wind, solar, hydro and nuclear power (EDF). The energy sources with the lowest greenhouse gas emissions are renewables,
• ocean,
• hydro,
• concentrating solar,
• wind,
• nuclear,
• geothermal,
• biomass and
• photovoltaics.
So these energy sources are all clean energy, based on the initial definition.
The highest greenhouse gas emitters are fossil fuel energy sources; coal, oil and gas, in that order respectively. They emanate up to 100x the greenhouse gasses of renewables (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). This makes them dirty fuel. This will come as no surprise. There are lots of reports about how we must move away from these energy sources.
We know that we need to move away from using fossil fuels. Ideally, we want to be using clean energy instead. Not all clean energy is created equal, and there are pros and cons to every energy source.
Renewable ocean energy
There are three types of renewable ocean energy; tidal energy, wave energy and ocean thermal energy. The energy is generated from the movement of waves and tides using turbines. Ocean thermal energy is created by the difference in temperature between surface water and deep ocean.
Ocean energy is one of the cleanest types of energy source, in terms of carbon emissions but it is also one of the most expensive to tap into (U.S. Government Accountability Office). It has the potential to help remote communities generate clean power for themselves and contribute up to 500 million tons of energy by 2050. One of the cons of ocean energy is the lack of knowledge about how these systems could impact oceanic ecosystems. Due to this concern, and the uncertainty about return on investment, ocean energy schemes often have difficulty getting financial backing and regulatory permissions.
Hydropower energy
Hydro power is one of the oldest and most established forms of renewable energy (Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, U.S. Department of Energy). It uses the difference in height between the water behind a dam wall and that of the river below. As water flows downhill, the water flows through a turbine and the turbine drives a generator, which produces electricity.
Water is renewable through the water cycle and water for hydroelectricity can be artificially recycled using pumps to return it to the dam to start the hydro cycle once again.
Hydroelectric power is economical. Although dams are costly to construct they are long lasting. Dams can be large, like the Hoover Dam or small regional dams and even tiny individual schemes.
Hydropower is the largest renewable electricity source worldwide and produced 4 418 TWh of electricity in 2020 (International Energy Agency). To reach net zero by 2050, we must increase hydropower YoY by 48GW.
One of the objections to increasing hydropower is that we must clear more land for it. Owners and residents of houses that are in the dam flood zone will have to be relocated. We will lose the natural surroundings like forest, farming or grazing lands. In countries where land is at a premium, this is a major issue but existing dams could be underutilized.
In the U.S. there are approximately 80,000 dams but less than 3% of them are powered. We could scale up hydropower simply by retrofitting the existing dams with hydroelectric technology. No further relocations or deforestation would be necessary for this to happen.
Concentrated solar power
Concentrated solar power systems are the next ‘cleanest’ energy source, based on greenhouse gas emissions. Despite this, they do emit nitrous oxide (N₂O) which can damage the ozone layer. CSP plants require more materials to build than fossil fuel plants, they are expensive to build, the materials are not recyclable, and they can generate hazardous waste.
As opposed to photovoltaic solar power which uses the sunlight, they use mirrors to convert energy from the sun into heat and produce electrical power (Brunel). As they use thermal energy storage, they can continue to supply electricity even when the sun is not shining on them.
The other primary issue with concentrating solar power systems is the space they need. To find space they are often set up in arid desert regions but they require water towers to cool thermal heat and water is scarce in arid areas. Globally, 130 plants produce 5,500 MW of electricity.
One good reason to continue to research and improve concentrating solar power plants is that the IEA estimates that we will need to remove Co2 from the atmosphere by the end of the century and CSP has the potential to be able to do that and generate energy from the air.
Renewable wind power
The costs of wind power are falling, leading to it being one of the fastest growing renewable energy sources (International Renewable Energy Agency). Second only to hydropower, onshore wind power had a capacity of 769,196 MW in 2021. This is more than triple the 2011 capacity of 216,346 MW. It is now the largest source of renewable energy in the United States and one of the lowest costing 1-2 cents per kilowatt-hour after production tax (Department of Energy). Wind, of course, is also free.
Wind power is generated by wind blowing through turbines and uses the kinetic energy of the wind. It is actually a source of solar energy, as it is the sun’s heat that causes winds to blow.
The optimal speed of the wind is 30 miles or 48 kilometers per hour (Bloomberg). This brings us to the first issue with wind power – inconsistent wind speeds. High wind speeds can cause damage and even collapse of wind turbines.
Too much electricity can be produced by wind turbines in high winds and if there is no capacity in the national grid and nowhere to store it in batteries, as recently happened in the UK, they have to be turned off.
Wind turbines cause noise and can interrupt the landscape. Communities living near onshore wind farms need to be encouraged with incentives like cheap electricity. Spinning turbines can be harmful to birds and animals like bats.
Nuclear energy
The inconvenience of local wind farms blotting the landscape is out-passed by local nuclear power plants. Nuclear energy is a low carbon energy source. There is some debate about whether it meets the criteria for being renewable as it is dependent on resources like a rare type of uranium (U-235) (National Geographic).
Nuclear power plants are expensive to build, ‘relatively cheap’ to maintain and expensive to safely decommission. Nuclear reactors take up to a decade to construct. Nuclear energy costs between $112 and $189 per megawatt hour (MWh) versus $36-$44 for solar power and $29-$56 for onshore wind (Reuters)
There is the problem of nuclear waste which will remain radioactive for hundreds and potentially even thousands of years. Despite progress in vitrification of nuclear waste, there still appears to be little knowledge of what materials would be non-corrosive in the longer term. This is essential to assure safe storage deep in underground facilities (Chemical & Engineering News).
Geothermal energy
Geothermal energy is any heat derived from the ground (British Geological Society). Even a few hundred meters below ground, the ground itself acts like a battery, storing heat from the sun. This is called ground source energy. Systems draw ground source heating and cooling for domestic homes from this depth.
Deep geothermal energy is defined by the UK Government as below 500m. Deep geothermal heat was formed when the earth formed. A proportion of it is also contributed to by any radioactive elements decaying.
Hydrothermal systems directly use this heat, tapping into deep aquifers. Petrothermal systems tap into deeper, hotter granite. Enhanced or Engineered Geothermal Systems (EGS) fracture the granite, increasing the natural permeability. Water is then injected into the rock and is heated.
The disadvantage to geothermal energy is finding sites that produce enough steam to be economic. Geothermal plants are visible, noisy and expel water and gas. Advantages are that they can produce energy 24/7 whereas sun or wind farms only produce energy 30% of the time. Geothermal energy is competitive at between 5-10 cents per kilowatt-hour (Britannica).
Biomass energy
Biomass energy uses the energy from living things (National Geographic). It has been used by men since the earliest cavemen burnt wood for fires. Today, biomass materials like corn or soy are burnt to produce heat or electricity.
Biomass materials are dried, using a process called torrefication, and then shaped into briquettes. The steam from burning the briquettes drives a turbine and turns a generator to produce electricity. Pyrolysis is a method of heating biomass materials without oxygen so they don’t combust. Biochar can be produced using pyrolysis and this is an excellent carbon sink.
Biofuel is a renewable fuel from fermenting biomass materials to make ethanol (from fats and oils) or biodiesel from carbohydrates. They can be used to fuel vehicles but are not as efficient as gasoline.
The cost of biomass electricity is between 8-15c per kilowatt-hour. Biomass energy uses less land than other renewable energies, but it does require land to produce crops that can be used. There is a risk of deforestation, unless materials are used from what would otherwise be waste. The main disadvantage to burning biomass materials is the emission of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and other pollutants.
Photovoltaic solar power
The final renewable energy is photovoltaic solar power. It is separated out from concentrated solar power because the greenhouse gas emissions are higher. Photovoltaic solar energy is generated by solar panels on domestic homes and solar farms with large areas of solar panels that produce electricity commercially.
The cost of solar energy is dropping and photovoltaic solar power is economical at 3 cents per kilowatt-hour on a utility scale (DoE). The U.S. launched a SunShot initiative in 2011. They estimate that low cost solar energy in combination with low cost storage ($100/kWh for an 8-hour battery by 2040) could enable PV solar energy to supply a large share of U.S. electricity needs by 2050.
One of the disadvantages of photovoltaics is the finite natural resources that go into making up the solar panels. Read more in “Is solar power renewable or non-renewable?” for more details about the materials used in solar panels. Many of these materials are not recyclable and produce hazardous waste so there is some work to be done to find alternative materials that are just as efficient.
Replacing fossil fuels
PV solar power is the least clean energy in this list due to the higher number of GHG emissions but it is still significantly lower than fossil fuels. We know we need to replace fossil fuels as soon as possible and any of these alternative renewable energy sources would be cleaner and healthier for the planet.
Ocean energy, hydropower, solar power (concentrated or photovoltaic), wind power, geothermal energy and biomass energy all have the potential to replace fossil fuels and put the world on the path of reducing our carbon emissions so that we can reverse the damage done to our climate. They are all renewable and low carbon. The exception to this is nuclear energy, which though low carbon, is not renewable and has some significant disadvantages.
There are advantages and disadvantages to every renewable energy, but the benefit of reduced greenhouse gas and carbon emissions has to be our goal at this point in history.

What Education Has To Do With Making Lifestyle Changes In The Face Of A Medical Diagnosis

If you were diagnosed with a chronic condition like high blood pressure or diabetes, how quick would you be to change your lifestyle to turn that condition around? A new study might provide some clues as to what kind of person is quicker to quit bad habits, like smoking, or maintain good habits, like exercising, in the face of a new medical diagnosis.
"I studied whether education affected the likelihood that people changed their behavior after they learned they had a condition that necessitated behavior modification for disease management," study researcher Rachel Margolis, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Western Ontario, explained in a statement. "I found that having more education increased the odds that a person made a healthy behavior change when faced with a new chronic health condition. This finding helps explain why there are educational differences in chronic disease management and health outcomes."
The findings, published in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior, are based on data from 16,600 people ages 50 to 75 who were part of the Health and Retirement Study between 1992 and 2010.
Margolis found that significantly fewer people who were college educated also smoked at some point when they were between ages 50 and 75, compared with people who dropped out of college -- 15 percent versus 41 percent. College-educated people were also more likely to maintain being physically active over the study period than those who had dropped out of college -- 14 percent versus 2 percent.
However, researchers found that in the face of a new diagnosis of a medical condition, the older a person got, the less likely he or she was to change lifestyle. For instance, having an education seemed to increase the likelihood of someone in his or her 50s quitting smoking in the face of a new medical diagnosis. But it didn't seem to have the same effect on people in their 60s and 70s.
While college-educated people in middle age were the most likely to make a lifestyle change, researchers still did find that people who dropped out of college were likely to quit disease-causing habits -- like smoking -- after receiving a medical diagnosis.

Crash scene investigations streamlined with new mapping methods
Traffic investigators continue to feel pressure to collect evidence at a crash scene and to reopen roads quickly to prevent secondary accidents.
Reopening roads soon after a crash occurs is always a chief goal, but it also cannot happen at the expense of collecting critical evidence at a crash scene. After all, the scene is a fragile snapshot in time that must be preserved long enough to gather sufficient evidence so investigators can learn the likely events that led to a crash. This is even more pivotal if vehicular homicide is involved.
Total Stations
Of the numerous crash scene mapping tools available, total stations are either the first choice of traffic investigators and the only method used, or part of a collection of various measurement equipment. Total stations are pricey, costing upward of $10,000 or more, which for most law enforcement agencies’ budgets in these financially stressed times may be out of reach. However, when considering the number of man hours it can take to map a crash scene using older technology, it’s worth the investment to buy a total station, particularly if it can be used often and even by other divisons within a police department.
Today, various types of total stations are available, all of which are used among crash reconstructionists and investigators. Basically, a total station is an electronic transit integrated with an electronic distance meter (EDM). The electronic transit measures the horizontal and vertical angles. The EDM measures the distance. With these three measurements, the total station calculates the slope distance to, and the elevation of a point in 3-D space, such as the start of a skid mark.
Some models of total stations have internal electronic data storage to record distance and horizontal/vertical angles, while others can write these measurements to an external data collector, such as a hand-held computer. The benefits of total stations are unsurpassed range, speed and accuracy of measurements, and high efficiency.
The types of total stations include: Reflectorless Total Stations
: This total station does not use a prism. It can measure a slope distance, for example, without a prism or someone standing over it. This prismless device can measure to certain objects from virtually right up against its scope to several hundred or even several thousand feet away from the reference point location. Robotic Total Stations
: A newer type of total station that allows the operator to control the instrument from a distance via remote control. This removes the need for an assistant as the operator holds the reflector and controls the total station from the observed reference point. GPS Total Stations
: The latest category of total stations. A key advantage is that GPS total stations do not require a direct line of sight to determine coordinates. A GPS total station is based on full integration of satellite signals. This allows it to provide high accuracy and low power consumption, as well as the ability to measure very long distances. GPS receivers on total stations are equipped by a built-in radio modem.
Minot, N.D. Police
The Minot, N.D., Police Department is realizing major benefits from using its GPS-equipped Sokkia total station. The total station was purchased by the department’s bomb squad, although it also is used for measuring accidents and crime scenes. “The purpose for buying the GPS total station was for speed and accuracy of mapping a scene,” Sergeant Jason Sundbakken explained. “It allows you to go through a crime or crash scene so much faster than our previous units.”
Minot PD previously used laser systems to map crash scenes, which required two people and absorbed about two hours. Now, using the GPS total station, investigators can map scenes in a half hour to an hour. Although the department has a variety of crash scene mapping tools, the Sokkia GPS total station is the predominant tool used.
“The GPS (total station) cuts our investigation time in half, which allows us to open roads and get things moving a lot faster,” Sundbakken said. “We like to be able to close the road to protect any evidence that might be at the scene in that section of the roadway, so we’ll divert traffic around it.”
The thorough mapping accomplished with the GPS unit enables detailed crash scene diagrams to be generated. Sundbakken uses Google Map-generated satellite photos of crash scenes to overlay on diagrams provided by investigators. In doing so, he said, “I am able to show the shoulders of the road that were measured, and all the lanes. Everything measures and matches spot-on.”
Stow, Ohio Police
With deepening budget cuts among law enforcement agencies, it is becoming more difficult to provide the resources and equipment needed to investigate the ongoing wave of serious injuries and fatal accidents that occur on roadways. Although state police or highway patrols traditionally have helped municipal police departments with crash scene investigations, strained resources now mean it could be hours or days before they respond to crash scenes.
Police departments in counties of some states have decided to combat the budget crisis by pooling resources to form special crash response teams. Participating cities must usually offer an officer who can provide a specific service at crash scenes, such as photography or scene mapping. In exchange, the special team of crash investigators will respond to crashes in these cities’ jurisdictions. The benefits are a wide range of expertise and skills, objective investigations, and the latest in crash investigation techniques and equipment.
The Stow, Ohio, Police Department has been participating in a crash response team serving its county, and results have been rewarding. Prior to the response team’s formation, Stow PD would struggle to provide adequate manpower to investigate crashes, even tapping officers from the next shift to help out. Otherwise, it was just one officer trying to investigate the crash scene.
“There was never any peer review for his actions,” Lieutenant Mike Titus recalled. “The investigating officer was out there with a tape measure to reconstruct what happened. Now, there’s a team of people who are all at the same level, and who have much greater resources,” he said.
The crash team uses a variety of equipment and investigative techniques, including total stations and laser systems for scene measuring and mapping, digital cameras for evidence collection, and even “Black Box” downloads from passenger and commercial vehicles so that data can be analyzed. The equipment and the skilled professionals who use it help to provide an independent view and investigation for crash scenes.
Total stations are the predominant measurement and mapping tool used at crash scenes given their ease of use, accuracy, low power consumption and mobility. They are particularly helpful for lengthy crash scenes where hundreds of feet may need to be mapped to create a meaningful crash diagram.
Utah Highway Patrol
The Utah Highway Patrol handles roughly 250 crashes a year, which is why it deploys an arsenal of 17 Topcon 3100 Series Reflectorless total stations for its investigators who are stationed throughout the state. By having so many total stations, investigators do not have to wait for equipment to arrive and so can begin measuring and mapping crash scenes immediately.
The reflectorless models, which have built-in data collectors, work well since Utah has a large number of rural areas with long crash scenes. They enable investigators to map scenes quickly and easily. And the reflectorless total stations do not require an officer to be in the roadway while a crash scene is being mapped, which helps keep investigators at a safe distance to complete their work.
According to Chuck Veppert, president of the National Association of Professional Reconstruction Specialists (NAPARS), reflectorless total stations allow the user to aim the total station beam directly on the piece of evidence so it reflects off the roadway, edge line, tree, pole or gouge mark. This means the operator does not have to be in the roadway to map the crash scene.
The GPS and robotic total stations do not give this same kind of safety element. “They require you to take the receiver to the point that you’re shooting,” Veppert said. However, user safety is increased due to the time savings, and quickness and accuracy of data capture with GPS and robotic total stations as investigators will not have to spend too much time in the roadway.
Safety Always Paramount
The main challenge with crash scene investigation is safety, Veppert argued. But time is also a factor, which means investigators must balance the need to collect enough evidence from the crash scene with the pressure to prevent lengthy road or lane closures that can cause traffic to back up.
The new breed of total stations allows ample crash scene data gathering within short timeframes. These total stations can shoot, in reflectorless mode, for example, better than 1,300 feet. “When I first started (in crash reconstruction),” Veppert recalled, “we were lucky to get 100 to 150 feet.”
The new total stations can measure scenes more quickly and accurately. Veppert added: “You can get more shots accomplished out on the roadway without having to have a prism out there in the roadway.”

Dispatches from the Last Mile

Plucking out a few important and (hah!) connected points from a Jan Chipchase splurge on travelling through "Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan’s GBAO [Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region] and China’s western provinces":
12: The premium for buying gasoline in a remote village in the GBAO is 20% more than the nearest town. Gasoline is harder to come by, and more valuable than connectivity.
42: After the Urumqi riots in 2009 the Chinese government cut of internet connectivity to Xinjiang province for a full year. Today connectivity is so prevalent and integrated into every aspect of Xinjiang society, that cutting it off it would hurt the state’s ability to control the population more than hinder their opposition. There are many parts to the current state strategy is to limit subversion, the most visible of which is access to the means of travel. For example every gas station between Kashi and Urumqi has barbed wire barriers at its gates, and someone checking IDs.
60: The difference between 2.5G and 3G? In the words of a smartphone wielding GBAO teenager on the day 3G data was switched on her town, “I can breathe”.
Incredibly rapid habituation to networked and wireless IT among hinterland populations; technoscientific "seeing like a state" governance paradigm continues apace; controlling movement of physical materials in space easier and more effective than controlling movement of information in context of governing hinterlands. (Look out for that latter one in Brexit Britain; the weak signals have been there for a long, long time.)

OFWAT the fuck?
5 min read
I would say I'm speechless over the latest bon mots from the UK's water regulator, but as the paragraphs below demonstrate, that would be a lie.
Cathryn Ross, the chief executive of Ofwat, said: “The uncomfortable truth is that, when it comes to retail offers, water companies provide an analogue service in a digital age. Customers tell us they think they should have the freedom to choose and don’t understand why water is the only retail market in which there isn’t some form of competition.”
Oh gosh, yes -- your discomfort with this conclusion is palpable, isn't it? I'd be interested to see how that question was phrased to those customers; y'know, whether it was an open-ended "what would be good?" sort of question, or whether you delicately steered them toward the idea that they should have "freedom to choose" (which, lest we forget, is a reminder that late-late capitalism is essentially an endless Groundhog-Day repetition of the penultimate scene in the original Ghostbusters, wherein one is constantly offered the opportunity to "choose the form of the destructor").
But really, Mrs Ross, if you and your colleagues in the UK's water regulatory body can't think of a way to answer that lack of understanding in your client base, I politely suggest that you are in the wrong industry, and that you might be better suited to commodities trading, as you seem to have the requisite instincts.
If you want to explain to people why they don't have a choice of water supplier, you start with our old friend, the hydrological cycle; then you get a map of their region, labelled with the locations of reservoirs and watersheds, and the main trunk pipes of your network, and you explain, as patiently as possible, that the reason you don't get a choice of water company is because geography and physics are immutable even to the magic of capitalism, despite repeated claims to the contrary.
You explain that the hypothetical saving of £8 per household (which is a 25% increase on the per-household savings you were quoting last month, incidentally) will be generated (if indeed it is generated at all) by the same sort of frantic market churn that's ramping up the costs of their gas an electricity every damned quarter, and presumably accompanied by the same opaque and wilfully deceptive pricing tiers to be encountered in the energy market (which, lest you need reminding, is a market repeatedly found to be rigged, over-priced and utterly baffling to most consumers, and appears to have a regulatory body just as craven and capitulatory as that by which you are currently employed).
You point out that it would actually make much more sense to manage water in the UK through one united system that covers the entire country, allowing for movement of water between regions, but that such an option is ideological poison to the sharp-suited lobbyists who really make the choices that matter; you might even reiterate the fact that, since acquiring the actual physical infrastructure of the old water boards -- infrastructure for which the private watercos paid, quite literally, nothing -- the companies you're supposed to be regulating have systematically underinvested in said systems because it made more sense to keep paying dividends to their shareholders, given it turns out that turning a profit on the provision of safe and reliable water for all is extremely hard to do -- in fact, almost impossible -- unless you take shortcuts on capacity and maintenance.
But why bother, eh? People like choice; people like things to be cheaper, even when they're already way cheaper than they realistically should be. Free markets solve everything, after all -- heck, the only reason water isn't too cheap to meter is that the market just isn't free enough!
Of course, this rather elides the root of the problem that marketisation is really meant to solve, namely the fact that the south-east of England already has way too large a population for its watersheds to provide for, while large parts of the north have surplus supply -- thanks, not at all incidentally, to serious public investment back before Thatcher and friends decided to let British heavy industry decline, again based on the assumption that Markets are Magic™! It elides the fact that water marketisation will end up being one more way that the south-east and London gets to suck the marrow out of the hinterlands. It elides golf-courses; it elides the practices of soft-drinks companies and Big Agriculture; it elides the craven complicity of well-heeled consultants and experts from the Sainted Order of the Revolving Door in their enthusiasm to appease the caprice of Mammon, who is their only lord and master.
But it's all too complicated to explain to the proles, isn't it? So buy them off with some bullshit about marginal savings on household bills, file your report; tell Caesar what is pleasing unto Caesar. After all, odds are you'll be dead (or at least comfortably retired) before the true scale of the deliberate and monumental fuck-up you've just advocated will become sufficiently apparent that anyone starts asking where the bodies are buried.

Fear of a Blank Verse Planet
2 min read
I've long been an admirer of Adam Roberts, and that's as least as much for his critical writing as for his fiction output, if not perhaps a little more. I put this down (at least in part) to his stint as a 'columnist' when I was still running Futurismic as a regular webzine*, where I was first exposed to his Borgesian strategy of reviewing imaginary works; I'm sure he's not the only source of the notion I have that a review should in some manner stylistically reflect the text to which it is responding, but he's always my go-to example of someone who does it routinely, and does it well.
And here's an example, just published as part of this year's Strange Horizons funding drive. Because how else to appropriately respond to a Baen publication about anthropogenic climate change written entirely in blank verse, but in blank verse?
The fact remains this is a verse-novel;
And as such, frankly, it’s a curate’s egg:
In equal measures striking and inert.
No question it’s echt science fictional
A perfectly effective instance of
This kind of techno-thriller doomsday yarn
(Though it mutates into a stranger and
More satisfying kind of story by its end).
And Turner’s good on "door dilated" stuff
Those kinds of unobtrusive details that
Hallmark much trad SF...
The closing section is the key, though, in making clear that pastiche can and should have purpose beyond the simple joy of rummaging in the dress-up box.

A preliminary validation of a family history assessment form to select women at risk for breast or ovarian cancer for referral to a genetics center.
Author information
• Eastern Ontario Regional Genetics Program, Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Ottawa, Canada.
The medical community and general population have become aware that genetic testing is available to look for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. However, criteria for who should be referred for genetic counseling and possible subsequent testing have yet to be determined, and many genetics centers have been overwhelmed by the demand for service. We set out to develop a family history assessment tool (FHAT) that could be used by physicians to select individuals for genetic counseling. Arbitrarily, we chose individuals who would have an approximate doubling of their lifetime risk for breast or ovarian cancer. The FHAT was then applied to 184 unrelated families, with an index patient who had breast or ovarian cancer and who had accepted the offer of BRCA1 BRCA2 testing. Data were compiled to compare the number of individuals who would have been referred for genetic counseling and the number of mutation-positive individuals who would have been screened out from counseling using FHAT, the tables from Claus, and the BRCAPRO system. In this population, FHAT was effective in minimizing both the number of referrals and the likelihood of missing women who were later found to be mutation-positive.

I think it depends on where you are renting from. Most clubs have rentals but I find that these are older clubs and not always satisfactory. If you are just there for a quick round or whatever then fine but otherwise I would always bring my own clubs. Then there are the other rental options - the sites that you can rent pretty decent clubs from and that are shipped via fedex to your hotel or wherever. I have never tried one of those services but interested to know...
I am assuming that most ranges just have mats and that this is where most people practice...I am lucky enough that near me there is one range which allows you to play of grass and to be honest I find this the most "realistic". Sure hitting off a mat can be useful for swing practice etc. but nothing like the real thing. And I endeavor now to just hit off the grass as much as I can... What do you guys think? Does it really make much of a difference?
Thats a good piece of advice...sometimes I swing and focus on a bit of grass at the front of the ball for that very reason and I try and make sure that the head comes down on that plane so I strike through the ball! At least thats my theory ;)
Seems to be a pretty common thing to be honest...one step back for every 2 steps forward they say... happens to us all from the mere amateur to the highest pros... Keep at it - remember it is a game! ;)
As it happens I tend not to focus too much on a small point. I have tried in the past but generally now I just look at the ball in its entirety...works for me though I know others have a different perspective. Good luck
So what do I do - housewife and mum to 2 boys... Hubby and the 2 boys just LOVE golf...feel like a golf widow so decided if you can't beat them, join them... and now I am hooked... Lovin it...

In Iran women control marriages for their children, and much . Iranian Jews claim to be the oldest continuous Jewish community in the world, dating back to the removal to Babylon . He is just so used to the way of dating in Iran. supposed to not touch each other until official marriage vow (which is different to the main marriage ceremony).
Alcoholic beverages are officially forbidden in Iran today under the Islamic republic, but their consumption is still widely practiced. Armenian, Jewish, and Zoroastrian communities still produce wine, and local moonshine is found everywhere in rural areas. The principal alcoholic beverage is "vodka" distilled from grain, grapes, or more commonly, raisins.
It is consumed almost exclusively by men in the evening or at celebrations such as weddings. Food Customs at Ceremonial Occasions. Ritual foods fall into two categories—foods that are eaten in celebration, and foods that are prepared and consumed as a charitable religious act.
A few foods are traditional for the New Year's celebration. Fish is widely consumed as the first meal of the New Year, along with a polow made with greens. One food appears on the ritual New Year's table, but is rarely eaten. This is a kind of sweet pudding made of ground sprouted wheat called samanou. During the Islamic month of fasting, Ramadan, no food or drink is consumed from sunrise to sunset.
Families rise before dawn to prepare heavy breakfasts that look like the noon meal. The process is repeated at sundown. Special crispy fried sweets made from a yogurt batter and soaked in syrup are frequently served. Two forms are popular: Food is frequently prepared for distribution to the community as a charitable religious act.

When a sheep is slaughtered for a special occasion it is common to give meat to all of one's neighbors. To give thanks for fulfillment of a desire, a community meal is frequently prepared. Likewise, during the mourning ceremonies for Hossein during the months of Muharram and Safar, communal meals are paid for by charitable individuals. The most common food served on these occasions is a polow made with yellow peas and meat. Historically Iran has been an agricultural nation with fairly rich resources both for vegetable crops and animal husbandry.
In the twentieth century, Iran's economy changed in a radical fashion due to the discovery of oil. By the time of the Revolution the nation received more than 80 percent of its income from oil and oil-related industry. While in more than 75 percent of the population lived in rural areas, distribution has reversed. Now more than 75 percent of Iranians live in urban areas, deriving their incomes either from manufacturing or from the service sector currently the largest sector of the economy.
The goals of the Islamic Republic include a drive for self-sufficiency in food and manufacture. At present, however, only about 10 percent of the nation's agricultural land is under cultivation, and subsistence farming is all but dead. Iran remains a net importer of food and manufactured goods, a condition that will not change soon.

Inflation is a continual problem. Were it not for oil income, the nation would be in difficult straits. Land Tenure and Property. Absentee landlords in Iran held traditional agricultural land for many hundreds of years. They employed a sharecropping arrangement with their tenant farmers based on a principle of five shares: The farmer rarely supplied more than human and animal labor, and thus received two-fifths of the produce. Additionally landlords hired some agricultural laborers to work land for them for direct wages.
Sharecropping farmers received the land they farmed in the land reform movements of the s and s, but the wage farmers received nothing, and largely abandoned agricultural pursuits. Nomadic tribes claim grazing rights along their route of migration, with the rights parceled out by family affiliation.
Government officials have contested and opposed these rights at various times on environmental grounds overgrazingbut they have not been able marshal effective enforcement. Tribal members also maintain agricultural land both at their summer and winter pasture headquarters. A carpet maker works on a loom at his shop in Na'in. Religious bequest waqf land plays a large role in Iranian life.
Large landowners on their death have willed whole villages as well as other kinds of property to the religious bequest trust. Nearly the entire city of Mashhad is waqf land. Individuals in that city can buy houses and office buildings, but not the land on which they stand. Part of the strategic plan of the Pahlavi rulers was to break the economic power of the clergy who controlled this vast property by nationalizing it, and placing its administration under a government ministry.
This was one of the government actions most vehemently opposed by the clergy before the Revolution. Nevertheless, the waqf is still administered by a government ministry. Iran today has a steel plant, automobile and bus assembly plants, a good infrastructure of roads, a decent telecommunication system, and good broadcast facilities for radio and television. These have all been extended under the Islamic Republic, as has rural electrification. Mining and exploitation of Iran's extensive mineral wealth other than oil is largely moribund.
Moves to privatize industry have been slow; 80 percent of all economic activity is under direct government control. Aside from oil products, the nation's exports include carpets, caviar, cotton, fruits, textiles, minerals, motor vehicles, and nuts.
A small amount of fresh produce and meat is exported to the states of the Persian Gulf. Social Stratification Classes and Castes. Iranian society presents a puzzle for most standard social science analysis of social structure.
On the one hand there is an out-ward appearance of extensive social stratification. When one peers beneath the surface, however, this impression breaks down almost immediately.
In Iran one can never judge a book by its cover. A traditional gentleman in ragged clothes, unshaven, and without any outward trapping of luxury may in fact be very rich, and as powerful as the mightiest government official; or he may be a revered spiritual leader.
On the other hand a well-dressed gentleman in an Italian suit driving a fine European car may be mired in debt and openly derided behind his back. Social mobility is also eminently possible in Iran. Clever youths from poor backgrounds may educate themselves, attach themselves to persons of power and authority, and rise quickly in status and wealth.
Family connections help here, and hypergamy marriage into a higher class for both men and women is very important. High status is precarious in Iran. There is a symbiotic relationship between superior and inferior. Duty is incumbent on the inferior, but the noblesse oblige incumbent on the superior as a condition of maintaining status is often greater, as the last shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, discovered in the Revolution.
Nevertheless there are genuinely revered figures in public life. Public respect is largely accorded by diffuse and generalized acclimation, this being a form of status recognition that Iranians trust.
The public has a tendency to dismiss awards, promotions, and public accolades as the result of political or social intriguing. The clerical hierarchy in Shi'a Islam is a good model for genuine advancement in social hierarchy because clerics advance through the informal acknowledgment of their peers.
Iran has made the transition in the last twenty years from a nominal constitutional monarchy to a democratic theocracy. As the United States has checks and balances in its governmental system, so does Iran. There is a strong president elected for a four-year term, and a unicameral legislature majles of members, elected directly by the people, with some slots reserved for recognized minorities.
The position of speaker is politically important, since there is no prime minister. Suffrage is universal, and the voting age is sixteen. Over and above these elected bodies there is a supreme jurisprudent selected by an independent Assembly of Experts—a council of religious judges.

Another council mediates between the Council of Guardians and the legislature. All members must be Shi'a Muslim jurisprudents. Islamic Shari'a law is the foundation for the court's decisions. Freedom of the press and assembly are constitutionally guaranteed so long as such activities do not contradict Islamic law. The units of governmental division are the province ostan"county" sharestanand township dehestan.
Each governmental unit has a head appointed by the Ministry of the Interior. Although there is a standing army, navy, and air force, the Revolutionary Guards Pasdaran-e Engelaborganized shortly after the Revolution, dominate military activities, often coming into conflict with the standard military forces.

The Iranian Red Crescent Society the local version of the Red Cross is active and important in the instance of national disaster. Iran is a net exporter of charity to neighboring countries.
The current regime views independent NGOs with deep suspicion, and in its aim for self-sufficiency views the work of many international charities as unnecessary. The United Nations UN is the one important exception. Iran has supported the UN since its inception, and a number of UN programs in health, development, population, and the preservation of cultural antiquities are active.
The nation's Mostazafin "downtrodden people" Foundation and the Imam Khomeini Foundation have operated in the international sphere. The question of gender roles is one of the most complex issues in contemporary Iranian society.

Interestingly, film and television are open to women provided they observe modest dress standards. This has created an odd separate-but-equal philosophy in Iranian life. Westernized Iranian women have long viewed obligatory modest dress in whatever forms as oppressive, and have worked to have standards relaxed.

Women, by contrast, can be emotionally distant and detached without seeming unfeminine. Open weeping is not shameful for either sex. Both sexes can be excessively tender and doting toward their same-sex friends with no intention of eroticism.
In Iran women control marriages for their children, and much intrigue in domestic life revolves around marital matters. A mother is typically on the lookout for good marriage prospects at all times. Even if a mother is diffident about marriage brokering, she is obliged to "clear the path" for a marriage proposal.
10+ Surprising Facts About Iran
Traditional marriages involve a formal contract drawn up by a cleric. In the contract a series of payments are specified. The bride brings a dowry to the marriage usually consisting of household goods and her own clothing.
In traditional Iranian rural society the "dinner cloth" often defines the minimal family. Many branches of an extended family may live in rooms in the same compound. However, they may not all eat together on a daily basis. Sons and their wives and children are often working for their parents in anticipation of a birthright in the form of land or animals. When they receive this, they will leave and form their own separate household. In the meantime they live in their parents' compound, but have separate eating and sleeping arrangements.
Even after they leave their parents' home, members of extended families have widespread rights to hospitality in the homes of even their most distant relations. Indeed, family members generally carry out most of their socializing with each other. Inheritance generally follows rules prescribed by Islamic law. Male children inherit full shares of their father's estate, wives and daughters half-shares. An individual may make a religious bequest of specific goods or property that are then administered by the ministry of waqfs.
The patriarch is the oldest male of the family. He demands respect from other family members and often has a strong role in the future of young relatives. In particular it is common for members of an extended family to spread themselves out in terms of professions and influence.
Mothers are expected to breast-feed their babies for fear the babies will become "remorseless. Mothers and children are expected to be mutually supportive. A mother will protect her children's reputation under all circumstances. Small children are indulged, and not just by their parents. They are magnets for attention from everyone in the society.
It is the father's responsibility to protect the honor of the family, and this means keeping close watch on the women and their activities. A girl is literally a treasure for the family.
Boys are far more indulged than girls. Their father teaches them very early, however, that the protection of family honor also resides with them. It is not unusual to see a small boy upbraiding his own mother for some act that shows a lack of modesty.
Children are also strongly encouraged in the arts. They write poetry and learn music, painting, and calligraphy, often pursuing these skills privately. All Iranians would like their children to pursue higher education, and competition for university entrance is fierce. The most desired professions for children are medicine and engineering.
This may be held as early as a year before the wedding itself, in order to allow time for all the wedding arrangements to be made. Eating sweet food stuffs at celebratory events such as an engagement ceremony carry symbolism such as wishing for sweetness in the couple's life in general. Men from the groom's family dressed up in festive costumes carry the presents on elaborately decorated large flat containers carried on their heads.
• Persian wedding
The containers are called tabagh Persian: Although this tradition might be practice in small towns and villages but in cities, such as Tehran, means of transportation is used deliver the gifts to the bride.
The wedding ceremony[ edit ] Iranian Sofreh Aghd[ edit ] Sofreh Aghd Table of Wedding [ edit ] The sofreh aghd is a traditional wedding ceremony spread where legal marriage and ceremonial tradition is exchanged.
The ceremonial tradition has been practiced for thousands of years, and sofreh aghd spread is customary at Persian weddings.
IRNA - Wedding customs in Iran
Like most ethnicies, Iranians have diverse religious backgrounds and the sofreh aghd is a chosen cultural ceremony commonly practiced regardless of faith. There are many symbolic items which make up the sofreh aghd spread, all of which represent an element of the couple's new life together.
Every sofreh aghd design has traditional must-haves; however, based on the taste and budget of the couple, some sofreh designs are more elaborate and intricate than others, while others are more simple and understated.
Below is a visual guideline and list of some of the traditional items that make up the sofreh aghd: Ayeneh Mirror Represents bringing light and brightness into the future for the married couple. Traditionally, the couple look into the mirror together. Khoncheh Assortment of seven symbolic herbs and spices An assortment of herbs and spices are placed on the spread to guard against the evil eye.
The seven herbs and spices include: Tokmeh Morgh Eggs Represent fertility for the couple. Meeveh Seasonal fruits Usually pomegranates and apples. They represent a joyous future. Shahkheh Nabat Rock candy Prettified to symbolize a sweetened life for the newlyweds.
Sekkeh Coins Are place on the sofreh spread to represent wealth and prosperity for the couple. Asal Honey Consumed right as the ceremony is going to conclude. The bride and groom exchange hands usually with the small finger dipped in the honey and shared off the hand to represent sweetness for the couple's life.
Golab Rose water Is used to perfume the air. The book is usually opened from the middle and placed on the spread in front of the couple as a symbol of faith. Shirini Sweets and pastries Are placed on the sofreh aghd and are to be shared with the guests after the ceremony concludes. Shirini symbolizes the sweetness of life. This situation mostly occurs when parents have traditional thoughts but the children do not want to follow what they parents tell.
Such families are really difficult to interact with as they are in a transient state and even do not know how they should treat. The boys and girls in such families are the biggest victims in many situations especially for having serious relationships, dating, falling in love, and getting married.
In these families, the way that boys and girls start dating or have relationships before the marriage is exactly similar to the boys and girls belonged to the modern families with one big difference and this difference is that usually one or both parents are not aware of these relationships. Further, concealing these relationships is not the only problem in these families. Another problem rises when the families decide to force their children to marry in a traditional way while these boys and girls have their own relationships and want to get marry in a different way with different person.
How Iranians get married? After that the couple falls in love and decides to get married, they should celebrate their marriage ceremony. We have two steps for this ceremony.
In this ceremony the guests should give their gifts to the couple which usually are really worth a fortune. During this ceremony, the guests and the couple dance together and have a lot of fun and usually the ceremony end up with a dinner. The second step is marriage ceremony.

Replace your Cellphone with Skype and Save Hundreds of Dollars w/iTouch
posted Sep 10, 2009, 7:06 PM by Danny Eusebio [ updated Sep 10, 2009, 7:10 PM ]
If you're that college student trying to get by, then this handy tutorial is something you want to read. If you haven't heard of Skype, then you need to use the internet a little more than normal because your you've got low blood levels of internet radiation in you. Skype is a voice over IP phone service which allows you to make calls over--wait for it--the internet. Not only that, but basic services on Skype are free, and some of the more useful features I use are dirt cheap. So stop using your conventional phone and start using Skype to start saving hundreds of dollars each year. And no, I don't work for Skype and I'm not advertising for them (directly).
Your tired of spending hundreds of dollars on your phone plan. You are ready to find an alternative phone plan that only cost about 90 dollars a year (with unlimited calling anywhere in the US). Also, you have an iPod Touch 2G and near constant wifi access.
1. iPod Touch 3rd Gen (~$199.00)(Link)
2. Wireless Internet ($$$)
3. Earphones with Remote and Mic ($30.00) (Link) [the NEW iPod Touch will come with this]
4. Skype Service or some comparable service ($30/year + $60/year) (Link)
5. Download the Skype App from iTunes. (Link)
Difficulty: Easy
Step 1: Buy all the items that you need. If you have most of these items, then you're in good shape. I had everything except for the earphones with remote and mic. I purchased mine from Amazon. You can purchase them from Apple also. If you're trying to save money, then there are some generic versions of these earbuds with mic that you can buy at (Link). They cost about five bucks with free shipping. There quality is questionable on the other hand.
Step 2: Once you have a Skype account with all the proper hardware listed above, then download the Skype App from iTunes. Once you download the program, sign in with your Skype account you created. Next, type in a number that you can call. At this point make sure your earbuds with mic are plugged in. It isn't necessary to move the mic piece close to your mouth. The mic will pick up your voice as it dangles normally. Then, make your call.
Step3: If you did everything correctly, then you'll here a dial tone and hopefully get someone to pick up on the other end. Viola, now your making calls on your iPod Touch.
Important Notes:
1. This only works for iPod Touch Second Generation.
2. You don't need to by a subscription from Skype, you can call other Skype users for free.
3. You can't make 9-1-1 calls with Skype.
4. I use a Pay-as-you-go phone as backup. I take longer calls with my iPod Touch-Skype.
5. You can receive calls on your iPod Touch as long as its connected to the internet and your Skype program is running.
1. If your a college student always on campus, this will be handy.
2. I only pay about $90.00 a year for Skype service (this includes 12 months of calling and a phone number). You can get away not purchasing a phone number, but then when you call people, no number will show up.
3. If you pay roughly $70.00 a month for your phone plan, you pay on average $840.00 a year. Whereas this tutorial will cost you about $90.00 a year. You can see the difference.

Joe Keatinge and Andre Szmanowicz Drag Superheroes Into the 21st Century
Berkeley, CA – 6 January 2011 – The future is now as Eisner and Harvey award-winner Joe Keatinge and ELEPHANTMEN’s Andre Szymanowicz debut the last generation of superheroes in the new ongoing series HELL YEAH.
Twenty years ago, the world was rocked by the emergence of real-life superheroes. Sports and entertainment industries collapsed overnight as people who can run across the planet and punch through walls changed the world forever. A new global culture formed around these bigger-than-life beings and now the generation raised in its wake must fight to find a place in this brave new world! By pairing the energy and excitement of the original Image superheroes with modern, innovative storytelling, Keatinge and Szymanowicz have crafted a modern superhero epic that could only begin on Image’s 20th anniversary.
“HELL YEAH exists because Image Comics exists,” explained Keatinge. “I read superhero comics my whole life, but when Image Comics debuted, it made me realize all the rules and restrictions I saw in other superhero comics didn’t have to exist. Anything could happen. You could kill lead characters in first issues. Obliterate long-standing villains in a page turn. They could be in different tone than what’s normally presented by the diversity shown in anything from YOUNGBLOOD to CASUAL HEROES. They didn’t have to be noble, they didn’t have to maintain the same status quo. It was turned into a genre where the term ‘impossible’ didn’t exist. Due to all this my imagination went into over drive and after twenty years of percolating in my brain, HELL YEAH was born.”
“I’ve been having a ball drawing HELL YEAH and watching how these characters develop, and at the same time its just a great blend of mainstream and indie comics coming together,” added Szymanowicz. “On one hand they are just like how I was at this age: aimless, going to rock shows and trying to find someone to date. Then there’s the side of it where they are in this superhero world and can sorta kick somebody’s ass (or get their own handed to them) from time to time.”
HELL YEAH begins with Ben Day, a college student who finds out versions of himself are being murdered throughout the Multiverse. He must determine where his life diverged from his other selves and just why these crimes have taken the interest of even the world’s greatest super-celebrities. Keatinge and Szmanowicz build a sweeping world with a massive cast of characters, a world that threatens to destroy Ben’s very existence.
“Nothing excites me more than raw, undiluted creativity, and HELL YEAH delivers that in spades,” said Image Publisher Eric Stephenson. “Joe and Andre are dragging superheroes kicking, screaming and spitting blood into a brave new world where the impossible is possible, nothing is sacred and no one is safe. HELL YEAH, indeed.”

Universal Declaration of Digital Rights: For life, liberty and security in the digital realm
By: |
Published: January 8, 2020 2:10 AM
Cambridge Analytica was one of the biggest eye-openers about the use of personal data harvested off Facebook without consent to try and influence elections.
Universal Declaration of Digital Rights, life, liberty, security, digital realm, Google, UDHR, United NationsThe inalienable rights mandated by the UDHR is openly in question because of the wild nature of the internet that was an unknown entity back in 1948.
By TV Mohandas Pai
& Nisha Holla
In 1948, the United Nations established a historic mandate by adopting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. For the first time, there was a declaration of inalienable rights for all humans. Coming at the tail end of five hundred years of violent invasion, occupation, slavery, colonisation, and two devastating World Wars, the Universal Declaration facilitated fundamental change in the way democracies and other governance systems worked. By and large, a wave of peace and respect for fellow humans across the world emanated from the Declaration.
As we head into 2020 and a new decade, looking back brings into sharp relief the digital revolution that has swept over the world. Societies have increasingly moved towards the use of digital devices to increase their communications and knowledge. Of the approximately 7.7 billion people on the planet today, roughly 4.5 billion have access to the internet (bit.ly/2ZW034B).
Contrast this with 2000, when only 738 million people had access to the internet. Social media was almost non-existent, whereas today, 3.7 billion are active social media users. The adoption of digital across the socio-economic spectrum has fundamentally changed the way we live and access information, goods, and services. Every part of our lives can be digitised, tracked and logged. Everyone has inevitably become a digital citizen.
On the digital provider side, we see the rise of digital monopolies that have grown so large in the last two decades; they effectively exercise control over most of the world. These monopolies started in different forms—Google as a search engine, Facebook as a social media network, Amazon as a digital shopping site, and so on. Today, these giants are akin to supermassive black holes slowly agglomerating a galaxy of services around their irresistible gravitational pull. They keep growing, they keep aggregating (like Facebook bought Instagram and Whatsapp), and they keep amassing data of the common global citizenry.
When one newly signs onto a digital platform, there is a long and oft-unread set of Terms and Conditions. These T&Cs effectively mean we have given away the rights to our data resulting from the usage of the platform to the managing company, such as Google or Facebook. The data now belongs to them and not to us. They can use it however they want, including in ways leading to monetisation. Most importantly, if there is a security breach, they cannot be held responsible. Moreover, since these companies are American, for example, Indians have no standing in US courts to take legal action against them for breach of private data.
On the one hand, in this knowledge-economy era, access to digital platforms and the internet is a necessity. On the other, there is effectively no protection of the data on the web with digital monopolies and data piracy. Loss of privacy has led to massive personal losses, financial and otherwise. Cambridge Analytica was one of the biggest eye-openers about the use of personal data harvested off Facebook without consent to try and influence elections. The inalienable rights mandated by the UDHR is openly in question because of the wild nature of the internet that was an unknown entity back in 1948.
It is time to formulate a Universal Declaration of Digital Rights, which upholds the spirit of the UDHR in the digital realm. There are different principled positions across the globe on what constitutes stable digital security. On one extreme is China which has created a firewall around their network, effectively restricting the digital services and websites Chinese citizens can access. China is a surveillance state where all notion of privacy has been quashed. On the other extreme is a zero-censorship state where there are no restrictions, and every citizen will have to look out for their security. No nation is at this extreme today because there are fundamental problems which cannot be handled with a zero-censorship policy like controlling child pornography, rampant sale of drugs on the internet, and so on. Most states have adopted censorship and data security policy that lies somewhere in between these two extremes of total control and zero-censorship.
Fundamental questions are being raised over individual protections in the digital age. Governments are waking up to the vast amounts of personal data companies store about their citizens and what it is being used for. The European Union recently formulated a significant boost to its data protection laws with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR lays out a framework to protect data that are personal identifiers like names, contact details, geo-location, and indicators like race and religion. It mandates that users or data subjects—who are providing their data to use a platform service—are accorded the rights to be informed about the usage of their data especially in automated decision-making and profiling, to access their data and port it, to rectify or erase their data from the platform, restrict processing, and raise objections.
GDPR places the burden on organisations to prove that they have a legitimate reason for holding onto personal data, to be much more upfront about data storage, why, and how it is being used, and use simple language while explaining data opt-in and opt-out. Moreover, if their database is hacked, they must notify users within three days, and immediately if they are at high risk like the cases when personal non-anonymised data is breached. Non-compliance warrants hefty fines and public outcry.
Today, organisations have a default opt-in procedure, with often no way of opting-out without getting off the platform altogether. With frameworks like GDPR making the fundamental assumption that people want control of their data, the right to opt-out, specific ways to opt-out, and demanding clarity on what to opt-out off is paramount. Moreover, since the GDPR mandates that not only EU-operational companies but any company with European users have to comply, this legislation now extends practically to the whole world. India is also active in the process of understanding how to protect its citizens’ data so that we can pass legislation similar to GDPR.
The right to privacy is a prime example of a digital right which would include the right to have secure encryption implemented and to private digital communications. The right not to be profiled includes freedom from automated profiling and bulk surveillance, the right to get information about your data, to keep personal data protected, to opt-out of profiling, and anonymous access and participation. Another digital freedom worth putting on paper is the right to personal safety and security, which would include protections from the leak and abuse of your personal data. Rights to digital self-determination including control of our data, to object to the use of personal data, to challenge/opt-out of standard terms and conditions, to portability, and others are another example of sacrosanct rights.
These are but a sampling of some rights that a Universal Declaration of Digital Rights must formulate and mandate. Apart from affording personal protections, the UDDR will also form a basis for resolving digital conflicts like hacking, cyber-security and national security matters between nations.
While it is essential for every country to safeguard its citizens’ interests, the time is ripe for a multilateral agreement—a Universal Declaration of Digital Rights—with an unambiguous and aligned view of the inalienable rights of the modern digital citizen. The principles of the UDHR where everyone has the right to life, liberty and security must now transcend to the virtual realm.

Is Losing A Job At RIM Really The End Of The World?
Like most tech-savvy Canadians, I've been following the ongoing saga of RIM. The difference is that Martyn Bassett Associates has a bit of history with the company - we placed several candidates there back in the early days - and have a vested interest in the Waterloo tech talent-pool. With that in mind, the news that RIM is going to trim at least 2000 positions got me thinking: Is it ever in your best interest to lose your job?
I'm not suggesting that job loss isn't an incredibly traumatic event. There are a lot of situations where it's the worst-case scenario, but for skilled employees in a competitive landscape - like the Ontario technology market - there's an inherent opportunity. In the interest of staying positive, let's try to find a silver lining on a partiularly ominous dark cloud.
New Challenges
If you've been working for one company for any length of time, you've probably found your groove. You might still love what you're doing, but you've got a good handle on what it takes to get the job done and keep people happy. It's a lot less stressful than the first week at a new job, but everybody is more creative when they're still eager to impress the new boss.
Ex-RIM employees will find themselves looking to make their next move in one of Canada's most vibrant technology ecosystems. According to Communitech there are 800+ tech firms and 300+ startups in the Waterloo area. These companies might not be global contenders like RIM, but they have a voracious need for talent and a completely different set of challenges.
Valuable Experience
When you applied for your first job you probably found yourself wondering how to get the 3 - 5 years experience you needed if nobody would hire you without it. Eventually you found something, but now you're back in the market with experience under your belt and someone that was a small cog in an organization of 16,000 can be a big wheel on a 10-person team.
There's also an advantage to having a big brand represented on a resume, since people can't resist paying more attention to something we already recognize. RIM is definitely a recognizable brand and even though there will be a lot of resumes with RIM on them, it still counts for something. (It might not be good news for grads over the next few years, but that's another story.)
Going It Alone
Depending on your situation, the idea of starting your own company is either incredibly inspiring or terribly impractical, but it's something that occurs to everyone at one time or another. The reality is that a dramatic break from previous employment can provide the push you need to see if you've got what it takes to be your own boss.
If you're an entrepreneur in Ontario, you've got a dizzying array of resources to take advantage of. There are startup accelerators like Jolt, Hyperdrive and Extreme Startups that nurture great ideas and interesting companies. There's also conferences, meet-ups and seminars focused on becoming the next great startup, so don't be surprised if a few ex-RIM employees end up making headlines.
Regardless of how the situation at RIM plays out, I genuinely hope that everyone involved lands on their feet and that the company course corrects quickly enough to stay competitive. We took a lot of pride in our work with RIM and I know the same is true for everyone there today.

Related to Nominee: Nominee Name
n. 1) a person or entity who is requested or named to act for another, such as an agent or trustee. 2) a potential successor to another's rights under a contract. Example: In a real estate purchase agreement, Bob Buyer agrees to purchase the property, but provides that title (legal ownership) will be granted to "Bob Buyer or nominee," so that Buyer can sell his rights to another person before the deal closes, or because Buyer is really acting for someone else. 2) the executor proposed by a person in a will is a nominee until officially appointed by the judge after the testator (will writer) has died, and the will is submitted for probate (administration of the estate). 3) a person chosen by convention, petition or primary election to be a candidate for public office. (See: executor, agent)

A Tool for Copying HTML to the Clipboard
On my Mac I regularly use pbcopy and pbpaste to interact with the clipboard from the command line. Sometimes utilities output HTML formatted text. If this is piped into pbcopy it will be transferred as plain text. That means if I paste it into Word or gmail HTML sourcecode will be pasted. As both of these tools support rich text, it should be possible to paste the text as formatted text.
To this end I wrote a little macruby script that reads from STDIN and writes it to the clipboard declaring the type correctly. That way I can paste HTML generated by a utility and paste it into Word preserving the HTML formatting.
The script depends on macruby being available on the path and looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/env macruby
framework 'Cocoa'
def pbcopy(string)
pasteBoard = NSPasteboard.generalPasteboard
pasteBoard.declareTypes([NSHTMLPboardType], owner: nil)
pasteBoard.setString(string, forType: NSHTMLPboardType)
s =
The following incantation gets the contents of a markdown file as rich text into the clipboard:
pandoc | copy-html
Now pasting in gmail gives me a nicely formatted mail.
I would like to achieve a similar thing under Linux/ X11, but I haven’t managed so far. Perhaps someone has an idea.
Update: A similar effect can be achieved with osascript as shown here.

10 Flat Belly Secrets
It’s no secret that everyone desires to have a toned body, especially a flat tummy! A flat midriff is a sign of good fitness level, and can be achieved with the right diet and dedicated workouts.
This article highlights how losing the extra flab around the waistline to reveal a flat belly is quite manageable!
1. Try finding out the reason for the unwanted flab around the waist:
Some of the obvious suspects for unwanted tummy flab include lack of exercise, excess of overall body weight and a faulty diet. Even digestive health issues, doing the wrong workout, lack of variation in workouts and a stressful lifestyle can cause weight gain around the mid-section. Identifying the problem can make the process of weight loss around the belly a much simple task.
2. Pay attention to what you put in your belly:
This one’s pretty simple. For achieving a toned midriff you need to eliminate processed foods, excess salt, sugary treats, caffeine, fizzy drinks and alcohol from your diet. Instead stock up on healthy and nutritious food like vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, nuts, seeds, eggs and whole grains. For quicker results, one can also try browsing through a reputed online pharmacy for weight loss medication that is safe and natural.
3. Cardio your way to a flat tummy:
Boosting metabolism and melting away fat is precisely what cardio does for your body. So choose a cardio activity like walking, running or interval-based training. Practice it at least 4 times a week, and burning those fat layers around the waist will soon become an easy task.
4. Always choose quality over quality:
What’s the point doing 100 crunches if you’re doing it wrong? Practicing any exercise in the right form will help achieve faster results than simply moving with momentum. Focus on doing every exercise slowly and properly, and most importantly get its form right.
5. Fiber – your new best friend:
One of the easiest ways to clean your system and speed up the process of weight loss around the tummy is to include fiber in your diet. It is great for improving digestion, eliminating waste and simultaneously clearing your system, and keeping your tummy bloat-free. So, bring home whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, flaxseeds, psyllium, oat bran and barley right away!
6. Stock up on the “right” fat:
Not all fats are bad, in fact, some are extremely essential to keep your hair and skin healthy and glowing. Having them in moderation aids the body to break down thebad fats (white bread, lollies, cake, etc) This will ensure a healthy and slim body, particularly around the middle!
7. Beat the bloat:
It’s a fact that salt retains water and causes puffiness. Though salt cannot be completely eliminated from the diet, its usage can certainly be reduced. This can be done by replacing salt with other spices and herbs. Also, “beer belly” got its name for the obvious reasons. In addition to bloating your tummy and adding calories, alcohol also restricts your body from using up the already present calories. This lead to weight gain, especially around the waist. So, if bidding adieu to alcohol is difficult, aim at drastically reducing its intake.
8. Posture matters:
Walking with a slouch not only brings attention to bad posture, but also to the midriff. On the other hand, walking straight or standing a little taller significantly enhances your overall appearance, makes you look confident and also takes the focus away from your tummy.
9. Focus on living a stress-free life:
Stress can have varying effects on different people. But it does cause a tendency among many to reach out to “comfort foods”. Feeling exhausted or stressed also makes people want to rest instead of working out. To make matters worse, stress causes the levels of cortisol (a stress hormone) to shoot up in the body , which is directly linked to weight gain.
10. Love your self and befriend your belly:
Loving yourself and embracing your flaws can be transformative in many ways. It’s alright to work towards achieving your maximum potential, but it is also important to treat your body with kindness. So, focus on what you’ve got, instead of brooding on the imperfections.
While trying to achieve weight loss, it is important to focus on having a toned body rather than looking emaciated. For this, a proper combination of exercise and a healthy diet is required. There are only two secrets to achieving a flat belly and that’s hard work and dedication. If you’ve found this blog helpful, do share it on your facebook or twitter profile.

Jump to: navigation, search
Text formatting and colour codes in TrackMania and ManiaPlanet can be used for players' nicknames, track names and comments, music file comments, server names and comments, and in-game online chats.
Nicknames are limited to 20 characters in TM Original, Sunrise and Nations. Since United, this limitation doesn't exist anymore.
You can also add special Unicode (UTF-8) characters to a name (see TM forum topic).
Colour codes
To add a colour to a name simply input a $ followed by three hexadecimal digits from 0 to f (0123456789abcdef), which represent red, green and blue values ($RGB)
A small selection can be seen below:

Summary: Sasuke and Naruto are close friends and it's unthought of for them to be anything else. So why is it that Sasuke thinks about their relationship? After denying it forever, Sasuke finally accepts that he might have just the tiniest crush on Naruto. Okay maybe a big one. Naruto refuses to believe, but the worry makes him constantly question where he truly stands with the Uchiha. (basically he eventually admits there might be an attraction-- eventually.) Smut, many chapters, and love prefferably. I'm dying for more good sasunaru. I've found 1 Fav. so far. Make it up as you go beyond that. (arigatou!)oh! and please, please, please, other yaoi pairings!!! ( I like me some lemons!!) e.g. NejixGaara, KakashixIruka, etc. Also, can include any other pairings [hentai or yuri (straight or lesbian) as well] basically I want SasuNaru and the rest is up to you! I would like it serious and romantic though.

Thy Kingdom Come!
Through the years, I have heard and read more arguing and debating about the nature of THE Kingdom than probably any other theological topic. I never really got into it when it was such a huge controversy in college - mostly because I didn't understand why it was such a big deal. Most members don't have a clue that defining THE Kingdom is a source of great distress and disunity amount church of Christ scholars and most evangelical group. Members don't know about it and, well you know what the next line is - they don't care about it.
It use to be understood that every true believer had to stand solidly behind the C of C interpretation that the church and the kingdom were the same thing. After all, that's what The Book said! No, not the Bible, but Why I Am A Member of the Church of Christ. Oh, did I say "use to be"? That implies that something has changed, and for many that's the same as the preaching of another Gospel, which as we all know, is anathema.
The problem is with all the different ways that the Kingdom is talked about - even by Jesus. Sometimes it's here, sometimes it's coming, sometimes it within us, and sometimes it's the end of time. Everyone has an opinion on what it is, when it came or is coming, and who's in it. Yet Jesus declared clearly, "My kingdom is not of this world."
Call me simple-minded, which some have, but it seems to me that the kingdom is simply the spiritual realm of God. A realm that He has been trying desperately to get us to think about, focus on, and desire to be part of. A realm that was only partly available through the Old Covenant as God was teaching that Law can't save people, but is now completely available through grace. Yet still a realm that will not be fully realized until we are changed from mortal to immortal. Could the Kingdom simply be the Light we are called to walk in? Could it simply be that the journey of seeking reveals the Kingdom's presence in our heart? Could it be that the Kingdom is the presence of Jesus in our life.
Ah, what do I know. I'm simple-minded - or rather, single-minded. I tend to think that everything is about Jesus. After all, what's the Kingdom without THE KING?

Researchers Develop Algorithm To Warn Of Midair Plane Collisions
Maxime Gariel, a postdoc in MIT's International Center for Air Transportation and lead author on the new paper, said the challenge in designing a collision-detection algorithm is limiting false alarms.
"If half the time it's a false alert," Gariel said in a statement, "[people] are not going to listen to it, or they'll turn it off."
Gariel says the volume of space around each plane is a "hockey puck" that describes the plane's probable position given a certain GPS reading.
To calculate the optimal size of the hockey puck, the researchers used six months' worth of plane data from airports in the San Francisco area. The team had the advantage of a very accurate computer model of air traffic created by researchers at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory. The Lincoln Lab model generates random trajectories for hypothetical aircraft that accord very well with real-world statistics.
David Gray, the FAA's lead on the project, said he has not yet had the opportunity to review the MIT researchers' results in detail, but that "from the limited data I've seen, it seems that the algorithms that they're looking at are performing better than the algorithms that are in existing systems that can be bought today."
"They're using the model for the scenarios that it's applicable for," Gray said in a MIT press release, "and I think that's going to be great. But for the scenarios that it's not applicable for, they're going to have to develop other scenarios for us to assess."

13 Reasons Why Your Dirt Bike Won’t Idle
Dirt Bike won’t stay running after you got it started? Maybe you can’t even get it started. Whether it runs great or it runs rough after starting it, there’s many reasons why your dirt bike won’t idle properly. If that’s you right now, you’re in the right place.
À 2 stroke or 4 stroke that won’t stay running is actually a fairly common problem. Some causes are very easy and quick to fix, but some bikes require a little more investigating to solve the real issue.
How To Make Your Clutch Last Longer 13 Reasons Why Your Dirt Bike Won't Idle
In this article we’ll cover every common problem that causes a dirt bike to not idle, as well as the less likely issues in case you’ve already tried everything else.
Here are the top 13 reasons why your dirt bike won’t idle:
• Idle set too low
• Engine isn’t warm/didn’t leave choke on long enough
• Fuel/air screw needs adjustment
• Pilot jet too large
• Pilot jet or circuit is dirty
• EFI injector is dirty
• Dirty air filter
• Fuel filter clogged/line kinked
• Float level set too low
• Air leak
• Reeds are worn out (2-stroke)
• Carburetor is worn/broken internally
• Stator is bad
Don’t Touch Your Bike…
Before you get started, there’s a couple things you should know. The first tip is to only do one thing at a time. If you’re messing with multiple things, you’re a lot more likely to cause even more problems.
In the event that you do fix your problem, if you did 2 or 3 different “fixes”, then you may miss out on a “learning experience”.
The second tip is to always start with the easiest thing, then work your way to more involved ways to identify the root problem. Why would you start with the most difficult and time consuming option? Save your time and money and pick the easiest thing to check first.
Are 2 Stroke Dirt Bikes Supposed To Idle?
The simple answer is “Yes”. All dirt bikes, both 2 and 4 stroke and made to be able to idle for a reasonable amount of time. 2 strokes may have a more erratic idle just because of the way the engine works and the timing of each power stroke.
A 2 stroke that doesn’t idle for more than 30 more than likely has the idle set too low or the jetting needs to be corrected.
Idle set too low
Whether you have a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke, if the idle adjustment is set too low, the engine won’t stay running. Turn the idle screw in and see if your dirt bike stays running. You may have to turn the idle down slightly as the engine temperature warms up.
Did You Warm The Engine Up?
Some dirt bikes, especially older models, are more cold blooded. This means that it takes longer for the engine to fully warm up to operating temperature.
New fuel injection dirt bikes will automatically compensate and richen the fuel mixture to keep the bike idling, but carbureted bikes require a little more manual effort.
Why You Need To Use The Choke
A cold engine needs a higher fuel/air mixture in order to run because it’s harder to burn efficiently at lower internal temps. As there engine temps rise, less fuel is required to keep it running.
This is why some dirt bikes need to have the choke on left longer to keep them running without needing to give it more gas by twisting the throttle.
Fuel/Air Screw Needs Adjustment
4 strokes have a fuel screw and 2 strokes have an air screw on the carburetor. They both perform the same type of function, but in opposite ways.
The purpose of the fuel/air screw is to fine tune the adjustment of the pilot jet circuit. This circuit most affects starting your bike as well as throttle response and power from 0-¼ throttle inputs.
Properly jetting a carb is important if you want the best throttle response, power, and fuel efficiency possible. To learn more about why and how to jet a dirt bike carb click here
Pilot Jet Is Wrong Size
This is the next step if the fuel/air screw adjustment didn’t fix the idling problem. A pilot jet that is too big gives too rich of a mixture that there engine can’t fully burn.
You may be able to get your bike started, but it will have a hard time staying running. Going leaner/smaller on the pilot jet may cure the problem and get your bike to idle properly again.
Pilot Jet/Circuit Is Dirty
A dirty carb, and more specifically, a dirty pilot jet circuit is one of the most common reasons why a dirt bike won’t stay running. Other common signs of a dirty carb:
• Hard to start
• Bogs or runs rough
• Only runs on choke
• Backfires
• Low/or hanging idle
• Lack of power
A carburetor gets dirty because it sits for a period of time. If fuel is left sitting in the carb then it will deteriorate and start to gum up after a while.
Dirt bike won't start because of dirty carb and jets
Dirty gas clogs up the carb jets and circuits
This is especially true with cheap regular pump gas with high amounts of ethanol. Running a high quality gas, such as a non-oxygenated had with no ethanol, will last much longer before breaking down and causing problems in your gas tank or carb.
EFI Injector Is Dirty
A dirty or clogged fuel injector can also cause engine running problems. If your fuel injected dirt bike won’t idle or stay running well after sitting for several months, try running some fuel injector cleaner through it.
Sometimes just running an engine for a little bit will clean out the junk that was sticking in the fuel system.
Dirty Air Filter
An air filter that isn’t regularly maintained will build up dirt and other foreign materials on it over time. The filer is there to prevent these objects from entering the engine.
Dirty Air Filter causes spark plug to foul
Dirty Air Filter After Riding In Sand
But if the filter is so dirty then it won’t allow enough air through the carb/throttle body. This creates a rich air/fuel mixture, similar to what a pilot jet that’s too large causes.
If your air filter hasn’t been cleaned or replaced within your last few rides, it needs to have a fresh air filter installed.
Fuel Filter Clogged/Line Kinked
Adding a fuel filter inline with the gas line can be a great way to help prevent any sediment or foreign materials from entering the carb or fuel injector. However, if the filter has collected so much sediment and junk in it, not enough gas will flow through to the fuel system, making the engine run rough.
If you can see the filter is dirty, replace it and test your results. Also check for a Kinked fuel line. The line from the gas tank to the carb/fuel system will rarely be straight, but it should never be kinked or or pinched. This will also not allow enough gas to reach the fuel system.
Float Level Is Off
Proper float level is critical to the jetting. If the float is set too low for then the engine will starve for fuel. A float level that’s too high will often flood over and gas will spill out the overflow tube. If your float level (also known as float height) is not correct, your dirt bike will run poorly.
Check your OEM service manual for the float level specs. It’s not very difficult to adjust the level. You just need to remove the float bowl, either by rotating the carb or removing it from the intake boot to get access to the float bowl.
Carb Float Height 13 Reasons Why Your Dirt Bike Won't Idle
This float looks to be slightly high and should be adjusted.
Once the float bowl is off, remove the float pin and float, then carefully adjust the metal “tang” in the proper direction to get the correct float height. Re-install everything and see if that solves your problem.
Air Leak
A pesky air leak will most certainly cause problems. Not only can your engine run poorly, but a leak will allow dirt and other materials to more easily enter the engine. This will greatly reduce the engine life. Dirt is an engine’s worst enemy, which is why it’s so important to keep your air filter clean if you want an engine to last as long as possible.
If you don’t visually see any gaps or cracks in the intake boot or box, there’s an easy way to test for air leaks with the engine running. Spray a little bit of a flammable substance (such as carb/brake cleaner) around the intake boot.
If you notice the RPM drop or rise, then you most likely have an air leak. A part or bolt is either too loose, cracked, or a gasket needs to be replaced.
Reeds are worn out (2-stroke)
Although not as likely, the reeds on a 2 stroke can cause idling problems. The reeds aren’t much harder to remove than the carb.
Once you have the reeds cage off, visually inspect the reed petals. If you hold it up to light and there’s a gap, then the petals are worn and should be replaced.
Carburetor Is Worn/Broken Internally
Sometimes there’s just no other explanation than that the carburetor itself is causing the problem. Whether your dirt bike won’t stay running, or it runs rough, internal wear or damage can wreak havoc on your riding time.
In an attempt to save money, find the same bike as yours with a known working carburetor. If you’ve tried every other jetting change, swap your carb with it and see if your problem is fixed. Yes? Then replace the carb and get back to having fun riding again.
Stator Is Bad
A faulty stator is another less common problem, but still occasionally happens, and that’s why we’re covering it here.
You may be able to get your bike started with a bad stator, but it won’t be able to charge and power the electrical system and/or battery.
How To Test A Dirt Bike Stator
A way to test your stator is to use a voltmeter. Check the voltage of your battery with the engine and power off. It should check around 12.5-13 volts. If it’s lower than that, your battery needs to be charged or possibly replaced.
Start the engine and check the voltage at the battery again. Rev up the engine RPM and you should see the voltage increase above 14 volts. If the voltage does not increase then the stator is not charging the battery. This either means that the stator is bad, or that you simply have a poor or missing electrical connection/ground.

Family S*x Sl*ve (H)
CHAPTER 11: Trip to the Amusement Park 1: Being finger r*ped on a roller coaster until his legs were weak and shaking.
Ye Qing stood in the courtyard and looked outside. After nearly a week of haze, today, the sun was so great that the warm sunlight was sprinkling on his face. It made him want to go out and have fun. After all, summer vacation was almost over, but he had not gone out that much. He couldn’t get out even for a day because of those beasts. It was also rare for the weather to be so good, so he must go out!
Hearing Ye Qing’s request, Ye Zhixuan, who really had no time, could only soothe him while tying his necktie. “Baby of course, you can go anywhere you want to play, but Daddy has a meeting today. So let your brothers go with you, okay?”
Ye Qing was very dissatisfied. Obviously, he wanted to go out with the whole family, but Daddy couldn’t go!
Seeing his pouting mouth as if he was about to make trouble soon, Ye Qun quickly coaxed, “Does Qingqing not like to play with his brothers? This time go with us first. Next time when dad is free, we will continue to go out and play. OK?”
Ye Qing thought that what his brother said was reasonable. He couldn’t let Daddy feel that he was unreasonable ah. Anyway, they would just go out to play, and they could go there again next time. So he nodded happily, “OK, but it’s up to you to decide where to play! If I’m not satisfied, I’ll never go.”
Seeing that this little thing was so easy to deceive, Ye Qun naturally agreed to everything. Proposed by Ye Ling, the location was finally determined to be the Amusement Park. When Ye Ling suggested this place, his whole body was exuding a dark, ambiguous aura.
“Hahahaha, I, Ye Qing! Is Fearless!” After conquering a series of rides such as Jumpers, Pirate Ships and Giant Pendulums that many people were afraid to touch, Ye Qing was beaming stupidly as his two brothers followed him with terrible expressions.
“Let’s go on the roller coaster now!” Ye Qing could no longer wait. He has long been salivating about this newly built Super Long Roller Coaster that ranks top in the country. But Elder brother said to play other interesting rides first, because the roller coaster was the most exciting. Saying that if they go there first, then there would be no energy for him to play other rides.

Ye Qun on the side also nodded approvingly, making Ye Qing become even angrier. “Ah!!! I definitely don’t want to do it here in the Amusement Park ah～!”
Without them knowing, the middle-aged woman in front heard Ye Qing’s cries. Although she didn’t understand what the young man was wailing about, she still turned her head to comfort him and said, “Young man, the roller coaster is very safe, so don’t be afraid.” From her perspective, this young man was too scared that his friend next to him had been caressing him for comfort.
Ye Qing wanted to cry but he had no tears to shed. He couldn’t really make a fuss on the roller coaster. But the beast ’s indecent hand… was still in this little master’s pants!
Ye Ling saw that Ye Qing no longer dared to resist too much, so his hands impolitely went further and further. His fingers lightly drilled into Ye Qing’s underwear, then went to touch the little hole at the back that was starting to get wet. As soon as he discovered this, he couldn’t help but laugh, “Qingqing, why are you wet?”
Ye Qing stared at him furiously. His body was already naturally sensitive. It would be strange if he didn’t get wet in this kind of environment! But he didn’t know that the way his round eyes stared at Ye Ling wasn’t as fierce as he wanted it to be, but it only made people want to see tears flowing from those eyes.
Sure enough, Ye Ling licked his lips, rubbed the two fleshy ass cheeks with his big hands, then slid down the crotch and pierced a finger into the wet hole without hesitation.
“Uhm…” Ye Qing, who didn’t want to make a sound, had to keep his moans in his mouth.
At this time, the roller coaster was finally ready and launched. Ye Ling’s actions became more and more unscrupulous. Eventually, he had inserted all three of his fingers into Ye Qing’s back hole. He vigorously pumped his slender middle finger against Ye Qing’s sensitive spot a few times, then pulled his fingers to the mouth of the hole before slamming it all the way in.
“Ahhh!!” The roller coaster timely arrived at the first slope. As screams came one after another around them, Ye Qing’s lustful scream didn’t seem to be abrupt for people to pay attention.
“Ah～ Ling-gege, don’t～ wu wu…”
Ye Ling looked at him with a smile. “Qingqing can cry out whatever he wants, so many people are accompanying Qingqing to scream together.” His words seemed very normal, but it’s actually full of obsceness. Ye Qing was already breathing unevenly, but Ye Ling’s fingers didn’t stop at all. Despite Ye Qing’s writhing, he still scratched and pounded the small hole.
Of course, as the Eldest brother, Ye Ling did not ignore Ye Qun who had previously tried to help him hold Ye Qing. He said, “The front is still empty. Don’t you want to play tricks on the roller coaster?”
“Aren’t you afraid that the little thing will struggle?” Ye Qun smiled, and looked at Ye Qing, who was already weakly shaking, but his hand also mischievously probed into Ye Qing’s pants to touch the front flower hole.
“No～! Wu wu… Gege, it’s already too much. Don’t come in anymore, wu wu…” Ye Qing tried to argue with reason(?).
Ye Qun rubbed his hair, but his hand inside Ye Qing’s pants continued to plunge the flower hole without any hint of gentleness.
“Ah! No more!” Both of the small holes were fingered by the brothers under the public place. Even if they were not caught, Ye Qing was still more sensitive than usual. His screams became more and more unstoppable.
The roller coaster finally reached the highest slope and dropped sharply. The screams of the people in the car could break through the eardrums as Ye Qing felt his heart was about to burst out of his throat.
Ye Ling and Ye Qun speed up almost at the same time, and furiously thrust their fingers into the two small holes, even ramming them against the sensitive spots. Ye Qing no longer has the energy to cry out, so he just leaned on the back of the chair and panted heavily. He didn’t want to end up suffocating from too much pleasure.
Suddenly, Ye Qun pulled out all his three fingers and used them to tease the mouth of the hole. He then asked Ye Qing, “Qingqing, do you like it?” As soon as his voice fell, a few fingers suddenly pierced into the small hole!
“Ah!!!” Ye Qing shook his head frantically, but did not dare to shed tears. He could only scream loudly under the cover of the roller coaster. After that, his little c*nt tried clenched desperately, as if trying to drive the invaders out.
Ye Qun felt that the little thing was about to shoot, and quickly pulled out his fingers to pinched the little bud in front. Sure enough, Ye Qing could only scream a few more times before coming, and his spurted milky fluid was all caught by Ye Qun’s hand. Ye Qun let out a sigh of relief, fortunately this little thing did not soil his pants.
At this time, Ye Ling also took out his fingers, then took a paper towel out of nowhere and wiped the mucus in the back hole carefully. The roller coaster also started to slow down and was about to reach the end.
Ye Qun then raised the s*men in front of Ye Qing. “Does Qingqing want to eat it? Don’t the little sl*t like to eat milk very much? Do you want to eat your own?”
In response to him, Ye Qing angrily turned his head to the side so that the back of his head was facing Ye Qun. Ye Qun, who didn’t care much, just shrugged and licked it himself clean, and wiped off the remaining liquid with a paper towel.
The image of his Second brother licking his own s*men was surprisingly so erotic,. Ye Qing’s face was almost burning red, so he just closed his eyes fiercely.
Finally, they got off the roller coaster. Ye Qing’s legs were so weak that he had to nest in Ye Qun’s arms and be supported by him. Ye Qun felt it was more convenient to carry him, but the little thing was dead set against it.
Being taken to a bench to rest, Ye Qing still refused to lift his face from Ye Qun’s arms. Wu wu, he actually orgasmed on the roller coaster just by his brothers’ fingers. If it was spread out to people, he wouldn’t have the face to look at them anymore!
When Ye Ling finished doing his bad deeds, he did not forget to ask the victim of how he felt. “Did it feel good? Qingqing screamed so loudly. Do you like it or not…”
“Wu wu…” Ye Qing was still immersed in the feeling of shame and pleasure until now. He still could not come back to himself, only letting out a vague and indistinct moan.
Seeing him like this, Ye Ling smiled brightly. “It seems that you like it? Next time, we’ll do it when the Amusement Park is packed with people, and Qingqing can also play without clothes.”
When Ye Qing heard his Elder brother’s words, he couldn’t help thinking that if the Amusement Park was really filled with people… and they did it without wearing any clothes, even if there was no one around them, but there used to be thousands of people playing inside it! His face instantly burned red, but his little hole unconsciously contracted a few times, and it seemed that l*wd water was flowing out of it again.
Ye Qun, who had Ye Qing resting in his arms and naturally noticed the changes in Ye Qing’s body, smiled dangerously. “It seems that Qingqing has enough rest, let’s continue to play. What about the Ferris Wheel?”

I recently noticed some conservative Republican apparatchik using a passage from a bible story to slam democrats and progressives. It was the “Jesus Delivers the Adulterous Woman” story, found here in several versions. As this person tells the story, a mob of people had gathered to stone a woman. Seeing this, Jesus said, “he that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone.” After saying this, the mob of people file away. The apparatchik then goes on to say that “if Jesus pulled that on Twitter, the mob would stone her then dox Jesus and get him fired from the Galilee Costco.”
Ha, ha, ha.
You see what he did there? He weaponized a bible story to attack democrats and progressives. He suggested, supported by his peculiar presentation of the story, that the progressive “Twitter mob” were not like Jesus at all--they were unforgiving, rigid, unreasonable, and fanatical. They would see Jesus defending a sinner and they would go mad as a result.
This peculiar presentation of the story would ironic, even funny, I suppose, except that this fellow clearly did not read the passage he was weaponizing. If he had, he would have realized that the story he was using applied more to the behaviour of violent, patriarchal elites than it did to some mythical, irrational mob.
What’s really happening in this passage is that Jesus is attacking elite privilege and power. Jesus is there to teach the people who have shown up to peacefully hear his deep spiritual wisdom. The local elites ( the “teachers of the law and the Pharisees”) arrive not because they wanted to hear Jesus teach, but because they wanted to “trap” him. They wanted to “have a basis for accusing him” so they could arrest him and throw him in jail. In order to do this, they “brought in a woman caught in adultery….” and asked Jesus if he would follow the law and recommend that she be stoned to death. They knew what Jesus was like. He tended to side with the underdog. They figured that if they could catch him advising something unlawful, specifically that the woman shouldn’t be punished even though she was a sinful adulteress, then they would have a basis for his arrest.
Unfortunately for the clods who showed up to trap Jesus, he knew they were trying to trap him. Instead of responding in a way that would self-incriminate, he skillfully pushed it back on the elites by saying to them and not the mob, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” With this brilliant statement, he referenced the elites own “sins,” got them to think of their own hypocrisy, invoked disjuncture, thereby silencing them and sending them away in quiet shame. You can read the full story and judge for yourself.
If you read the above story, you’ll see, Jesus is not pointing a finger at a restless “cancel culture” mob, as the apparatchik suggested. He is also not forgiving racism, sexism, or homophobia, as this republican operative had implied. Instead, he is sparring with local political and economic elites who are trying to trap him and have him arrested by asking him to apply sexist and misogynist laws. In this context, Jesus is the model for Twitter “mob.” Jesus is in fact rejecting, i.e., cancelling, authoritarian and elite laws and the gender oppressions which they support. He is encouraging a more egalitarian, less violent, perspective. If you read the story I am sure you will see, this is the correct interpretation. Resistance to power, patriarchy, and authority is the moral of the story. The Republican apparatchik could only make his claims because, clearly, he did not read the whole story.
This bible story is fascinating from both a sociological and psychological perspective. It shows Jesus directly confronting sexism and violent relations of power. It also portrays Jesus as a progressive social actor coming up against regressive political and economic forces bent on removing his influence from society. It also highlights a question: why are the elites out to get Jesus? According to the New Testament, he was sent by God to teach the people. Why did the elites want to trap him with legal trickery? Why did they want to arrest him?
The answer, if you are interested, can be found in the article “Rethinking the Origins and Purpose of Religion: Jesus, Constantine, and the Containment of Global Revolution.” It is simple though. Jesus was an anti-authoritarian revolutionary who wanted to usher in a utopia for all people, not just for the “chosen few,” but for women, children, the poor, and all those thrown in jail by an unjust and exploitative system.
The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind[folded], to set the oppressed free…. Luke 4: 18.
As such, he was a threat to the elites and their system of political and economic exploitation. They wanted, they needed, to stop that threat. They couldn’t just have him arrested because he was too popular amongst the people; instead, they invoked the law, tradition, and violence in an attempt to create conditions where they could throw him in jail. Of course, it didn’t work, this time. In this story, Jesus gets the better of them. Unfortunately, we all know how the story ends. Eventually, the elites do succeed in arresting and executing Jesus, but that's a story which for another time.
I should point out, in closing, that this little vignette highlights a rather important fact about how people interact with spiritual teaching and spiritual texts, and that is, they often misappropriate them. They have their own agenda and their own bias and they often look into the Bible, or the Koran, or whatever, and selectively interpret what they find. They use various rhetorical devices to do this. They take quotes out of context; they spin the truth in a direction favourable to their economic interests, Sometimes, they don't even look at the text at all, they just take some idea they have and paint it over the text. As a sociologist, this is no surprise. Sociologists understand that social class, gender, ethnicity, and other social facts often impact how we see the world. Sometimes, if we're not careful, these social positions can unduly impact our view of truth and reality. They can lead us into the temptation of twisting the truth to serve our own agenda. You see this quite clearly in this instance, and it happens all the time.
I should note, this does not mean there is no such thing as "truth," or that we cannot look at a text, a sacred book, or whatever, and discover what is really in there to find. The messages contained in the story of Jesus and the adultress are there for all to see, and I think once people read the full extract with a receptive mind, these messages, which do not support the conservative agenda, become pretty clear. Jesus was fighting authority. Jesus was rejecting (canceling) judgment and punishment of the adulteress. Jesus was trying to protect himself from deceptive political attack.

Day 92 of 100 Days to Greatness: How do habits become habitual?
Everyone has habits in their life that they have developed over the years. Some of them are really good for you and others not so much. For example, you might have learned to brush your teeth every morning and every night before bed. This will keep your teeth healthy and it is a habit that will give you a better smile, save you big money at the dentist, and prevent a whole lot of pain and suffering (anyone who has ever had a dental extraction will agree wholeheartedly).
On the other hand, you might have developed the habit for procrastination. You definitely aren’t alone. Everyone procrastinates to some degree, and some people make it a way of life. Procrastination happens for many reasons. Sometimes it is the fear of success, the lack of confidence in achieving it and sometimes, it is just a lack of motivation.
It all starts with understanding the psychology behind your habits: how they form, what motivates you to perform them and how they become a permanent part of your life.
The first thing that you need to understand is that all habits – from brushing your teeth to recognizing and taking advantage of multi-million dollar business opportunities – are formed exactly the same way. The neurological process in forming habits is identical, and it doesn’t matter if it is a tiny habit, a major habit, a bad habit or a good one.
Understanding this is actually one of the most important things that you can do because it immediately tells you something about yourself – namely, that if you can teach yourself to brush your teeth twice or three times a day, without even thinking about it, then you can teach yourself anything. You can have confidence in your ability to teach yourself any good habit that you want because you have already done it many times in your life.

Day 91 of 100 Days to Greatness: The Journey of Success Includes Road-blocks
Before you can start the journey towards being successful and begin building habits that move you along that road, you need to understand what success is. Most people only have a vague idea of success. This prevents them from actually becoming successful because they don’t know where they are going.
It’s like getting in your car and jumping onto the interstate with a full tank of gas, trying to drive to the perfect vacation spot. Odds are, you aren’t going to stumble onto it by accident. You need a destination in mind, and you need a map to get you there.
The reason that people have problems becoming successful is that they have not figured out exactly what it means to be it. That’s why defining success is the first step in achieving it.
The problem is, success isn’t really a destination. Success is actually a journey with stops along the way. Those stops are definitely the destinations that you want to arrive at, but there is no “final destination” that you will get to where you will finally be happy. When it comes to being successful and happy, the only way to achieve it is to be constantly moving towards your goals.
Successful people have many things in common, find out what you have in common with them, download this FREE REPORT.
Day 93 of 100 Days to Greatness: Goal setting – the journey is as important as the end result?
When you have goals and you are on track to reach them, you are happy. But your happiness isn’t going to become permanent when you finally reach those goals. You may be more satisfied with life and happier for a while,but you are still going to want to set new goals. You will never be satisfied, and that’s perfectly okay.
So, you might be wondering just what the purpose of goals actually are then. You cannot be successful without goals, and you cannot form good habits without goals.
You can try to force yourself to do something habitually, but without a goal behind them, those habits have no power and they will not stick, even if you do follow the steps required to get them to become permanent. Your goal is not only your motivation; it is also your blueprint. The goal that you are working towards will put demands on the types of habits that you create and it will shape the way that you change.

Day 86 of 100 Days to Greatness -Motivate yourself tip #1
Do Something Different.
One of the ways to motivate yourself is by purposely skiving off from your usual routine. After all, isn’t routine one of the reasons why you’re so unmotivated in the first place?
You don’t have to do something drastic. A lot of people, for example, like to get out of bed an hour or two earlier than the usual. They arrive at their office earlier, too. You’d be surprised at how different everything looks.
If you find it difficult to wake up early in the morning, perhaps you can simply change your tie instead. Or do your hair in a different way. Do something that is different from your usual self. Perhaps all you need to motivate yourself is a new perspective on life.
There are plenty of ways to motivate yourself. They don’t always have to be grand or larger than life. They can be simple and almost mundane even. It all depends on what catches your attention. Some people find motivation in the details. Others find it in the bigger picture.
Whatever your motivation is, remember it. So the next time you find yourself in a slump, you no longer have to worry about how you’re going to up your game.

Why You Should Replace Television with Books if you want to be Successful
Did you know that one of the things that some of the most successful people in the world share in common is that they read books – mostly books on how to improve themselves in a variety of ways.
If you want to follow in the footsteps of people like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, then you are going to want to read books just like they did. That means shutting off the black screen in your living room, removing the Netflix shortcut from your desktop and getting rid of the TV or movie apps on your phone or tablet. Then download a Kindle or an e-reader.
There are good reasons to get rid of television and replace it with reading material. Of course, you may not want to get rid of television completely, although many people who do say that they are much happier afterward and everything they thought they would miss seems of little importance.
Television doesn’t do much in the way of education. Most of the programs on television are fictional stories, and many are so predictable and formulaic that they do not tax your brain cells at all.
Even when television isn’t fiction it is often the same news stories that repeat over and over, or sensationalized real events that bear little resemblance to fact. Let’s not even get started on reality TV. The point is, there is very little on television that is going to teach you something that will allow you to better yourself.
In addition, science has shown that TV really does “rot” your brain – or at least your brain power weakens over time from television watching.
Books on the other hand, have a number of advantages. For one thing, you are reading and not watching. This simple difference means that you are using your brain in other ways. You are reading, figuring out the definition of words and forming pictures in your imagination.
Plus, there are so many books out there that actually help you improve yourself – hence the entire section of books called “Self-help” or “Self-improvement.” There are books on reaching goals, achieving financial independence, starting a business and learning everything from a new language to a musical instrument.
The bottom line is that books are better if you want to be successful. You don’t have to give up TV entirely if you don’t want to, but you should definitely read more if you want to achieve success.

How Bad Habits Become Good Habits
You may be familiar with the idea that you cannot get rid of bad habits – you need to replace them with good habits instead. The reasoning behind this is that your mind thinks that you are taking something important away when you stop a bad habit; but when you simply start a good habit that pushes the bad habit out of the way, then you feel like you are giving yourself something.
So, what is the actual process in which bad habits become good ones? This is an important thing to understand, because it can help you get rid of all of your bad habits eventually. This article will go through the process step-by-step, using example bad and good habits.
Example Bad Habit: Skipping Breakfast
Example Good Habit: Having a Healthy Breakfast
So, you want to replace the habit of skipping breakfast with having a good, healthy breakfast instead. There are numerous reasons to do this, and studies have proven that people who eat breakfast are healthier, get more accomplished and are happier. Let’s go through the process of replacing the bad with the good one step at a time.
1. Sit down and create a list of breakfast foods that you like. Then go out and buy them and keep them stocked in your kitchen.
2. Stop eating food at 5:00PM each day. That way when morning comes you are hungry enough to eat something.
3. Write down the benefits that come with eating breakfast and then post them somewhere that you will be able to see them when you get up in the morning.
4. Make a habit out of going to the kitchen and looking at the food that is there. You don’t have eat anything at first. Just be aware that some good foods are stocked in your kitchen.
5. Start small. Cut an orange into segments and eat one segment per day.
6. Increase this until your body actually starts looking forward to having that orange every day.
7. Don’t skip any days once you start eating. You may revert back to your old habit of not eating breakfast.
8. Create a breakfast trigger. For example, as soon as you finish your first cup of coffee, then make something for breakfast.
9. Increase the amount of food until you are having a full, healthy breakfast.
10. Write down any benefits you notice from eating breakfast.

Sacrifice Now To Achieve Long-Term Success?
No matter who you are, if you have any goals worth having, you are going to spend some time achieving them. Any goal that is going to bring you success will almost certainly take a long time to realize. There are no shortcuts in life.
But in order to get that long-term success, you almost always have to make short-term sacrifices. If you want to retire with $250,000 by age 60, then you need to start saving $500 a month from the age of 20. If you want to have cake left over at the end of the week to enjoy, then you aren’t going to eat the entire thing in one setting.
Short-term sacrifices are a vital part of achieving your goals and most people have trouble with them. But if you follow these tips, you may be able to make these short-term sacrifices without as much effort as you normally would have to make.
1. Create a list of short-term sacrifices you might expect to make as you are striving for your goals. Include everything that you think you might have to give up.
2. Decide whether or not you will have to give these things up temporarily or permanently.
3. Look at each one individually. Determine whether or not you are willing to give those things up in order to achieve your goal. For example, if you want to lose weight you may have to give up Chinese buffets.
4. Do this first with the permanent things you must give up. For example, someone who is trying to become clean and sober will have to give up drinking or using drugs recreationally and it may mean that they will never be able to use narcotics even when they should be prescribed.
5. Look at the things that you may have to give up temporarily. For example, if your plan is to open a business at the end of the year, you may have to give up going to the movies or eating out for that year.
6. Make sure that you use the things that you are giving up temporarily as rewards. So, if you use the business goal as an example, and you were able to achieve your goals like choosing inventory, finishing your business plan, or any other goal that moved your forward, use things like eating out and movies as a reward for your hard work.

On Premises
Here is a constructive post (it's rehashed, but the other blog is no longer available)
Coming up with a premise for a trick can change the impact of a trick drastically. So I play this little game, simply called: "Same trick over and over again". The plot is a coin vanishing in the left hand and then being reproduced. The structure is that the coin is transferred from the right to the left hand three times (two times the condition the audience) and on the third one the coin is gone. Sticking to that plot and that structure there is only room left for premises. So playing that game means I need to make the same trick different each time without violating the plot or structure. Here is what I came up with:
1. Three ways to make a coin go form one hand to the other.
Here the conditioning is part of the premise. "Arc" and "Straight Line" are very easy to understand concepts. And offering a third version to make the distance even shorter has some real world implications. That is why it works well for a not so drunk crowd.
2. The doggy stick story.
This is just great for kids. I've done it many times. It has a "pretend" element, it refers to an outdoor activity and has a funny outcome. Poo jokes are funny for kids.
3. The shrinking coin.
This is my least favorite. But instead of doing this with a coin, do it with a bill. Rolling it up and press it into the fist. When you open it up it will look considerably smaller, because of the wrinkles. So on the third time vanishing the bill - sorry I meant shrinking the bill - so it cannot be seen anymore makes sense. Then reproducing the bill/coin by stretching it is a neat finish.
And some more:
4. The Camera Trick.
This works well with a single coin, but imagine the effect is has with stuff like Three Fly! It's a tongue in cheek presentation and should be presented as such.
5. The Sucker Bit.
This is pretty old school. But as you can see you can work in the old gag into the plot. Technically it's not a sucker trick, as the sucker element is missing, but it feels like a sucker trick, as the function of the gag is that people think no magic will occur, lowering their expectations. That makes the final "travel" so strong. Works great with drunk people.
6. The Invisible Coin.
Here the coin doesn't vanish, it doesn't shrink or hide. It's just invisible. Sometimes I prove this by tapping the invisible coin against a glass creating a sound. You need a relatively sober audience for that. Each time the same freaking trick seems different. And whenever I create some magic sequences that I like I try to get away with it again, without it being an obvious repeat. This is when a different premise comes in handy. So that makes the game that I play a valuable asset in my creative toolbox.
Hell, even more:
7. The Déjà Vu.
As you can see that changes the effect drastically. Suddenly the coin didn't vanish, but somehow reality seems to jump back. I think this is a good example how a changed premise (structure and plot remain the same) changes the overall perception of the effect.
8. The Wishing Well.
I like this one. You could even include fancy color changes. The wishing well routine by David Williamson is such a great trick. And wishing for money bit is actually a nice subtext justification why you the great magician do not do magic that is meaningful, like world peace.
9. The Toss.
Let's be honest this is just to milk time. But I like the covering the eyes part while at the same time hiding the coin in a motivated action.
I hope you see, that just changing the premise can really make a difference.
And to clear up some words!
Premise: Why it happens.
Plot: What happens.
Structure: In what order it happens.

Number 1, 7 and 9 were really good.
This is quite a valuable tip as a simple coin vanish can look like a crazy miracle with the right patter

Fire Door Inspection
NFPA 80 requires annual fire door inspections
fire-door-inspectionAPV can provide an inspection of the fire rated swinging doors in your facility in accordance with the requirements of NFPA 80. This inspection should be performed annually and a signed written copy kept on file for your local AHJ. Confirming that all fire rated openings are functioning properly is a critical part of making sure your building occupants are safe. Upon completion of an inspection, you will be provided a list of any deficiencies with the estimated cost to correct them. You are under no obligation to have APV provide the corrections. The openings will be tested and visually inspected to assess the condition of the assembly.
Swinging Doors with Builders Hardware will be inspected to verify the following:
1. No open holes or breaks exist in surfaces of either the door or frame.
2. Glazing, vision light frames, and glazing beads are intact and securely fastened in place, if so equipped.
3. The door, frame, hinges, hardware and non-combustible threshold are secured, aligned, and in working order with no visible signs of damage.
4. No parts are missing or broken.
5. Door clearances at the door edge to the frame, on the pull side of the door, do not exceed clearances listed in 4.8.4 and 6.3.1.
6. The self-closing device is operating by verifying that the active door will completely close when operated from the full open position.
7. If a coordinator is installed, the inactive leaf closes before the active leaf.
8. Latching hardware operates and secures the door when it is in the closed position.
9. Auxiliary hardware items, which interfere or prohibit operation, are not installed on the door and frame.
10. No field modifications to the door assembly have been performed that void the label.
11. Gasketing and edge seals, where required, are inspected to verify their presence and integrity.

by Lim Chong Teck
One of the speakers during the recent Restoration Seminar made the observation that unless a person/body dies he cannot be resurrected. That discussion comes from the passage found in 1 Cor. 15:36: “Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened except it die”.
In view thereof some have asked the question, “And if it be so what about those who are still alive when Christ returns? Must they die first in order to be resurrected and also to have a new body?”
Primary thoughts
Paul was addressing the problem that some had said that there is no resurrection from the dead (Verse 12).The context in which he is addressing are what about the people who have died. Can there be a resurrection? By what power/means? What kind of body would we have since all had returned to dust?
Verse 35 says: “But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? And then in verse 36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened except it die.”
Paul was trying to tell them the fact that death is not the end of all things and there is “resurrection “in the seed that died. And he used an illustration of nature that through seed dying comes new life. In verse 37 it says: “And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be; but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain.”
Verse 38 tells us God has the power to give this body and to every seed its own body.
This clearly indicates to us that the dead will possess a new body in the resurrection. Each seed will have its own body indicating everyone will have his own individual body.
Some of the Corinthian Christians could not comprehend this resurrection; hence Paul used nature to describe it.
But what about those who are living? Must they die to have resurrection?
The answer can be found from reading of 1 Cor 15: 51-57:
1 Cor 15:51-53: “Behold, I show you a mystery, We shall NOT ALL SLEEP, but we shall All BE CHANGED. In a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be RAISED INCORUPTIBLE, and WE shall BE CHANGED. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Verse 51: (Not all sleep) tells us at the coming of Christ some will be alive (cf 1 Thess. 4: 15-17) but ALL will BE CHANGED tells us both the dead in Christ and those in Christ who are alive will be changed.
Verse 52: tells us the sequence of this change. First the dead in Christ will be raised incorruptible and then we who are alive at His Coming shall be changed.
Verse 53: the dead will be raised from corruption to incorruption and those who are alive at His Coming and as the bible put it mortal (that means can die) will put on immortality (cannot die).
So in both instances of the dead and those alive at His Coming, death will be conquered by firstly the dead will be raised, i.e from corruption to incorruption. And secondly the living at His Coming who can die, i.e mortal, will be changed to immortality. And so verse 54 -56 tells us that it is when both of these happened i.e. when the dead are raised and the living no longer dies than death would have been conquered unequivocally. This victory over death is given by God through Christ.
From the above we can conclude that those living at His Coming will overcome death by putting on immortality.
The bible is so clear in the language it uses that it leaves no room for doubt about the bodily resurrection on the last day and the change that will take place for the dead and the living.
And a reading from 1 Thessalonians 4: 16-17 tells us the dead in Christ shall rise first and we who remained i.e. alive at the time of his return will be caught up with them and together, we will be with the Lord forever more.
The bible is clear about what happens to those in Christ on the return of Christ. Those who are dead will be raised to put on incorruptible and together with those who living who will be changed to immortal, will be with Christ.
Another important thing to note is that both of them will be with the Lord forever more. This state has eternity in mind. And the body that we will have is not flesh & blood (1 Cor 15:50) but a glorified body (Philippians 3:21)
So those that are living when Christ comes will have their mortal (bodies that can die), changed to immortality.
Secondary thoughts
It is very important how we understand the bible. The immediate context must first be considered and then followed by other relevant context. The clear passages must be relied upon to explain the difficult passages. And the scriptures will interpret itself.
Sometimes a problem arises when we put a question that we think is all inclusive and read the question with only one possibility and worst if it is put to suit our teachings.
Example 1.
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Can we conclude therefore that He applies to All (every human) who do not believe shall be damned?
Yes & No. Yes, “All” who have the ability to believe but do not will be condemned. No, babies are not included although the reading does mean everyone. Simply because babies cannot believe or decide that they want to be baptized. Believe & baptism is personal faith & personal decisions.
Example 2
Roman 3:23: “ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
“All man” of the past, present and future are included. However all man excludes Jesus for he had no sin. “All” excludes babies & little children for they do not understand what is good and evil. And you have Matt 18:3, 19:14 to tell us the fact that they are safe. Those who are born mentally handicap and even as they grow to adulthood are exempted as they cannot understand.
We understand what the “All” means by the explanation of other scriptures. We should let the bible explain itself and for us to accept it without trying to twist/press hard upon something to justify what we believe.
And from this example when we press the “All” to include everyone then babies will need to be baptized for remission of sin. And from there we will question what about unborn babies? Since they cannot be baptized so they may not be a living soul hence abortion permitted? Or should we baptize the pregnant mother and thus baptize the child also?
And when we read John 3:3-5 that UNLESS one is born of water and spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God, we need to understand the context of that “everyone” before we include babies for baptism or even force someone to be baptized to enter the kingdom of heaven.
And other passages like Luke 13;3 & 5 unless you repent you will likewise perish. “Unless you” means everyone, yet it would be applicable only to the person who is able to repent. One needs to be a sinner in order to repent. Did Jesus need to repent? What about babies? According to Eze 18:20, babies do not bear the sins of their fathers: “The soul that sinneth, it shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.”
Therefore if other scriptures have explained to us a difficult passage and have given exemption or exclusion or inclusion then let it explain itself.
So in the matter of the statement use in 1 Cor. 15: 36 “Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened EXCEPT it die.” is explained by another passage in 1 Cor. 15: 51-57 as to what will happen to those living at the Coming of Christ. We don’t need to push the “except”. In fact what 1 Cor 15:36 stresses is that resurrection is inevitable.
One could also say that perhaps those living at His Coming will have an accelerated death and then resurrected, all in a twinkling of an eye. But we should stick to how the scriptures explain that the mortal bodies will be changed to immortality. No need to push. Just let the scriptures tell it as it is.
We can see the sum of God’s word is truth (Psa 119:160) therefore other scriptures can provide us with a better understanding.

List of writing promts to start 2011
If your pen refuses to touch paper and your fingers won’t tap on the computer keys, you’re in need of some writing prompts.
Here’s some to start off 2011. Bang goes the starter’s gun and the muse is off and racing:
• If you were in the Queensland floods pour your heart out about it. Write a story about what happened to you and your family or neighbours. If you weren’t in the floods – imagine that you were.
• A caterpillar crawls across your outdoor table. Describe him and write a children’s story.
• A dog barks. A woman screams. There’s a loud crash and glass smashes. What’s the story?
• Sunshine – we all miss it. Why does sunshine make you feel happy?
• Write about an exotic location that you’ve always wanted to visit.
• Create a recipe for life, happiness, love or family.
• Grab your dictionary. Flip to a page. Point on a word. Write a story featuring this word or the meaning of the word.
• Pick up your favourite magazine. Write an article that would be suited to the style of the publication. Edit it and send it in. (Yes, send it! What have you got to lose?)
• If you could give a gift at the moment what would it be? Mine would be water receding and rain easing to warm sunshine.
I hope this has got you started. Good luck with your writing year and may the muse stay on your shoulder but be light like an angel not heavy like a burden.

Working in the Shadows
A year undercover in the jobs most Americans won’t do.
Working in the shadows
Working in the Shadows
by Gabriel Thompson
Nation Books, 2010, 320 pages, $24.95
Support YES! when you buy here from an independent bookstore.
“Please don’t make me do this [job] again—it is really, really hard.” That’s what Stephen Colbert said to a Congressional committee on immigration, recounting his day as a farm worker. Colbert was responding to the claim—often repeated but rarely explored—that undocumented migrant workers take jobs that would otherwise go to American citizens.
Gabriel Thompson’s response to the debate over immigration and employment was to embark on a serious piece of investigative journalism. He immersed himself in work at the bottom of the scale in terms of pay, rights, and working conditions. His experience, described in Working in the Shadows, makes it clear why these are not only the jobs most Americans don’t do, but also the jobs most won’t do.
Thompson, an award-winning writer, went undercover to investigate the underside of the American economy. Presenting himself as a drifter with a sketchy resume, he took jobs cutting lettuce in the fields of Arizona, processing chickens in a plant in Alabama, and delivering food in New York City. It’s evident from the first day in each new setting that, although an impressive resume is not required, each job is extremely demanding in its own way.
Thompson catalogues the hardships of these jobs: the need for physical strength and endurance when bending, cutting, and bagging in the lettuce fields; the likelihood of an industrial accident during an exhausting night shift in the chicken processing plant; the frantic pressure of restaurant delivery work. Despite discomfort—at times, outright pain—Thompson remains clear about the difference between his choice and the financial realities that compel others to do this backbreaking work: “This book was an exhausting learning experience for me; for my coworkers, it’s life.”
Whatever the workplace, he sees how those in charge “will do whatever they can get away with” to make higher profits, and that while undocumented workers “suffer disproportionate abuse on the job, it is a mistake to pretend that their plight is unrelated to that of American workers.”
Thompson describes the development of the local economy and the political aspects of each of the three places he works. He exposes our broken regulatory systems, the need for strategic organizing to develop collective bargaining power, and the skewed immigration policies that punish working people rather than corporations.
Most importantly, Thompson describes the lives of the working people who keep the economy going. Coworkers befriend him, and he sees how they provide solidarity and community for each other. Their conversations reveal their life histories, dreams and aspirations, and the bleak realities of life on the edge of economic survival.
What stands out are two recurring themes: Despite their current woes, many of Thompson’s coworkers have actually known worse. And, just as importantly, that people take pride in a job well done. Thompson asks us to look a little deeper and see if we can’t find a little bit of ourselves in the working class, urging readers toward an attitude that is even more crucial in times of economic crisis: to re-evaluate how “we honor the dignity of work, no matter who is doing the work.”
• How today's criminal justice system takes up where slavery and segregation left off.
• The climate crisis at the end of your fork and what you can do about it.
• On the front lines in the fight against coal.

Review by Yakuza
"Strange game."
Date review is made: 1999-09-16
My review to the weird game Ghost n' Goblins. Game is made by Konami I think. It's a very very very(almost that old as SMB1) old game. It is not a good game, in fact a bad one. But in some strange way, I feel sorry for it and give it 2. Some kinda score higher than it is worth.
Well, here's not the review, here's the warning!!!!!!!
Control: Control is no control. U can't control hero at all. The weopons u use is something not possible to use. More to say is unnecessary.
Score control: 1.2/10
Music/Sound: What? Music? I never heard any!! Sound? You mean when the zombies go down?
Score music/sound: 2.3/10
Challenge: Yeah, this game is definetly hard. I never played it to the end, but my friend did it once. When he finished the game, he sat down satisfied that he beat it. He had tried and tried for hours(many many hours!)and finally he did it. Then the text comes up"Congratulations! Now you just have to play it once again" or something like that. He was completely destroyed. He didn't play that game any more time. (The game is hard)
Score challenge: 10/10
Fun-factor: What? Fun?
Score fun-factor: 0.3/10 (You can get a few laughs along the way)
Summary: A bad game. Must be the worst of Konami. But if you're looking for a hard game, this's the one. Just be sure to have nerves and a lotta patience. Myself, I can live without playing the game.
Score overall: 1.3/10(Score is 1.3 cuz of the laughs it brings of how bad it is)
TOTAL SCORE(Score on a line between 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10): 2/10
Last wicked line: Strange (and bad)game.
Reviewer's Score: 2/10 | Originally Posted: 11/01/99, Updated 01/13/01

The Samsung Epic 4G Touch is a Solid Android Offering for Sprint
The Samsung Epic 4G Touch, like its big brother, the Samsung Galaxy S II, is a powerful phone that packs a serious punch, but there isn’t a great deal that sets it apart from the myriad of other high definition, touchscreen, cell phone options that have inundated the market in the last 6 months. The phone has a number of great points. The screen is bright and large and allows a really nice video and reading experience. The text looks a touch larger on the Samsung Epic 4G Touch than other phones on the market; which should make any ophthalmologist happy. The phone itself is fast and opening the browser and accessing apps is lightening quick. With a 1.2ghz, dual-core processor it should be. Even the voice command options on this Samsung are well-tuned, with words like “browser” opening up the web browser without much effort. The call quality is decent, and frankly Sprint’s network, regardless of complaints, doesn’t really cause any problems. The camera on this Samsung is solid with an 8-megapixel offering with LED flash. It takes nice shots and a 2-megapixel camera on the front allows for video calling. While there is a lot of good to this phone there is a fair amount of bad as well. The phone doesn’t really look like the super-expensive handset that it is. The styling feels a bit flimsy and cheap in the hand and the plastic backing doesn’t make grip particularly easy. The Samsung Epic 4G Touch is also a monster in terms of size. The phone is thin and light, but it’s tall and wide making it difficult to hold onto and the grip can be awkward when against the ear. The Samsung overlay of android is also unfavorable. HTC simply does a better job at customizing the Android OS. The phone also has a pathetic, at best, battery life. You’ll be lucky to pull 5 solid hours on this device. Overall the Samsung Epic 4G Touch is a nice device with a great screen and lightening quick speeds, but there are just some things that send it crashing down from fantastic to mediocre. The battery life would be the biggest gripe. It is a cellphone, and while it has PC- like qualities, you shouldn’t be pulling laptop battery life on it. The battery life would have to be the deal breaker on this phone, but if you are happy to plug a phone in every few hours, or if you spend a vast amount of time in a car where you can plug a car charger in it may not be a problem, but if you are an on the go person who doesn’t have access to a charging source the phone will quickly lose its luster.

Ask Dave: Resenting the family loan
By Dave Ramsey
June 15, 2013 at 1:15 a.m.
Dear Dave: I borrowed $30,000 from my aunt to buy a condo eight years ago. We had a deal that she would get her money back plus a piece of the profits when it sold. If there were no profits, she would get back her original $30,000. Recently, the condo sold, and I lost the money I put into it and my aunt's money as well. I make good money and don't have any other debt, but I'm a little resentful now that she wants me to pay her back. Do you have any suggestions? - Christine
Dear Dave: I'm working on my debt snowball, and I'm trying to settle with a pushy collector. I don't have the $9,000 I owe, but I have $3,000 I'd like to offer as a settlement. Recently, the collector has started asking for a lot of information I don't feel comfortable providing. What should I do? - Daniel
Dear Daniel: Lots of times in these kinds of situations, collectors are trying to gather up as much information as possible in order to sue you. Even if that's not the case here, there's no reason for you to be supplying them with a bunch of extra info. Just offer them the $3,000 and make it clear that your financial coach - which is me - told you not to answer any more of their nosy questions.

White By Law Essay
2331 words - 10 pages
What is Race? When some people use the "race" they attach a biological meaning, still others use "race" as a socially constructed concept. It is clear that even though race does not have a biological meaning, it does have a social meaning which has been legally constructed. I define a "race" as a vast group of people loosely bound together by historically liable, socially significant elements of their ancestry. Races are social products. It follows that legal institutions and practices, as essential components of our highly legalized society, have had a hand in the construction of race. Throughout the history, race has been constructed by many branches of society that ...view middle of the document...
It was enslaved Africans who provided the labor force that made the growth of the United States possible. The roots of U.S. racism or White Supremacy lie in establishing economic exploitation by the theft of resources and human labor, then justifying that exploitation by institutionalizing the inferiority of its victims. The first application of White Supremacy or racism by the European-Americans who control U.S. society was against native peoples. Then came Blacks, as slaves.
Politically, the Supreme Court took god’s position to judge on the nature of every human beings, for example, in the court case state v. Mann, the court ruled upon the absolute domination of the slave owner. Therefore, this case proves how the court justify the decision as an inheritance cause, because there’s a true bond between the slave owner and the slave that no laws or rules can destroy it. The natural rights of the slave owner is absolute, in other words, the slave owner have an absolute domination over his slave; which make the slave less than a property. In a society where the highest authority ruled that a slave is less than a property or as it stated “less value than an ox” (State v. Mann, 1830). It shows how this decision was the motivation for the spread of racism and the idea of absolute domination of a human being in people’s mind. This caused people to believe that god gave this inherence ideas that a man can absolute dominate other because this person have less value than a property. The nuclear bond between the slave and the slave owner motivated other to apply the idea of difference between each other, because this bond will never be broken. This court case was the building foundation
Sadik 3
for the court case Dred Scott v. Stanford, because in this case the court used constructive ideas to question and manipulate the constitution; which indicated that naturally the people who can vote for the constitution would never vote to give those slaves the right to become citizens or residents. By constructing those ideas, the court took god’s rule again to preach and spread the idea that a slave cannot be treated as a human being or even a property under any circumstances ; even though, the Missouri compromise gave hope to those slaves to be free up north. If those slaves could not be looked upon them as property , not even as human beings, this shows how they will never be equal in a classroom where a white student look down upon them as less than a property , not carrying the same flesh as himself.
Looking upon the structural of today’s modern university, it’s based on constructive ideas that been inherited from many social and political forces that generate the idea of unequal results. To critically examine and look carefully upon those structures, one have to put in mind how those forces were manufactured by the Supreme Court and government institutions; which negatively obstructed the political and social structure of the university. Those ideas...

Rahul and Omar annoys nation by their crackbrained statements
Yesterday we heard two disgustingly idiotic comments by poster boy of Congress Rahul Gandhi and J&K chief minister Omar Abdullah, where Rahul said according to him there is no difference between SIMI and RSS on the other hand Omar said Islamabad should be involved in the dialogue in deciding future of Kashmir, and as a result of their nonsensical comments both of these politicians are facing heavy criticism across the nation, which they actually deserve because after giving such irresponsible and baseless statements its clear that these two have no sense of politics and they both don't deserve to be called as leaders.
If we try to analyze the statement made by Rahul towards RSS then it shows how desperate he is to take down his opposition, but he forgot that no comment should be made on any one without any proof or logic and his statement clearly shows his lack of knowledge about the history of RSS, and if he knows the history of RSS then it means he is once again misleading the people of India just for the sake of his vote bank which is really cheap, I really want to know why he appears in media only before election just like frogs are seen during rainy season, why he is always mum on wrongs done by Congress like he didn't spoke a word about CWG scam, it was congress who didn't took action against Bangladeshi intruders just because congress wanted to use them as their vote bank, I really hope Rahul you are reading this, and if you are, do reply me what is the proof you have against RSS ? its your party who compromises on issue of national security like Kashmir, so better you think twice before making any irresponsible statement. We all know SIMI is an organization which is involved in several terrorist activities, there are also reports which says Indian Mujaheddin is actually a disguise name of SIMI and yet Rahul sees no difference between SIMI and RSS.
Now coming on to the statement of Omar in which he said that Islamabad should be involved in dialogue to solve Kashmir issue is completely insane and he can not cover up his failure as a chief minister by such idiotic statements, I am unable to understand what does he actually want, is he standing with separatists now who wants Kashmir to be part of Pakistan, is he unaware of the situation of POK ? and if he still wants to go with Pakistan knowing all the facts then such person does not deserve to be the CM because how can you let a traitor govern a state and that too like J&K, right thing to do in such a situation is to dissolve such government and implement president's rule so that situation doesn't get worse from here, but since congress is involved in J&K government they will never do so no matter what ever happens, because history of congress says that they can go to any extent to remain in power regardless of the the price nation has to pay for their blunders.
Deepest irony of this nation is that there are people in our country who support and admire these sick leaders.

Sleazy Politics On Ayodhya Verdict
Day before yesterday Lucknow bench of Allahabad high court gave historical decision on Ayodhya case which came out after 60 long years, which was an attempt to give most possible balanced verdict on this case, judges tried to please all three sides considering the sensitivity of issue, and being generous they gave a three way division solution, on the basis of proofs provided by Archaeological Survey of India court agreed that initially there used to be a temple and controversial structure of mosque was built over it later, which was constructed against the basic ideology of Islam, because no mosque could be built in east direction over remains of any structure and offering namaz in such mosque is against shariyat. So question arises here is that if all the proofs and logic's were in favor of Temple then why 1/3 portion was given to Muslims, which I think is an attempt to please all sides, and every sides have right to challenge this decision in supreme court, so it becomes moral responsibility of politicians to respect the verdict and not to provoke people of any community by giving irresponsible comments in media, but I am deeply hurt by hearing comments of some political leaders and some so called secular peoples who are just trying to gain political mileage over this issue to enhance their vote bank they all must respect the decision of court rather than communalising the issue.
yesterday Mulayam Singh yadav stated that "decision is completely political and Muslim community is disappointed and feeling as if they have been cheated" which is just a cheap attempt to attract those Muslim votes which he lost during last Lok Sabha polls by shaking hands with Kalyan Singh, whereas Mayawati has also been doing hard work in targeting Congress for ignoring her demands of defense forces n said that its the responsibility of central government to implement this verdict which was just an attempt to bring congress in the line of fire and run away from her own responsibilities, and our home minister P. Chidambaram is also not lagging behind here, he also stated in media that although verdict is out but demolishing controversial structure was still a crime.
Now when we look at the reaction of the people of both the communities its clear that people of both sides value peace and harmony and have acted maturely on this, but its these politicians who are not hesitating to try cheap tricks for their benefit, because at any point of time such provocative comments and statements are absolutely not required as this may lead to any unwanted and unpleasant situation, but the pity of this unfortunate nation is that those people who should be strengthening the nation are actually trying their best to weaken it for their personal benefit.

Russian jets resume heavy bombing of eastern Aleppo: rebels, monitor
The Syrian government said rebels holed up in Aleppo can leave with their families if they lay down their arms.
Insurgents denounced that offer as a deception.
President Bashar al-Assad seeks the complete recapture of Aleppo, Syria's biggest city before the 5-1/2-year war, and which has been divided between government and opposition control for years.
Insurgents had advanced elsewhere against government forces and their allies, including in Hama province further south where they captured a series of towns and villages last month. Government forces have regained some of those areas in recent days, however.
In the southern city of Deraa, which is split between government and rebel control, insurgent shelling of a school killed at least five people including children on Tuesday, the Observatory and state media reported.
Residents reported the same death toll.
A separate mortar attack hit a government complex in the heart of the city with reports of casualties, a Deraa resident said, adding that mosques were appealing for blood donations.

World manifold
From formulasearchengine
Jump to navigation Jump to search
{{ safesubst:#invoke:Unsubst||$N=Technical |date=__DATE__ |$B= {{#invoke:Message box|ambox}} }} In gravitation theory, a world manifold endowed with some Lorentzian pseudo-Riemannian metric and an associated space-time structure is a space-time. Gravitation theory is formulated as classical field theory on natural bundles over a world manifold.
A world manifold is a four-dimensional orientable real smooth manifold. It is assumed to be a Hausdorff and second countable topological space. Consequently, it is a locally compact space which is a union of a countable number of compact subsets, a separable space, a paracompact and completely regular space. Being paracompact, a world manifold admits a partition of unity by smooth functions. It should be emphasized that paracompactness is an essential characteristic of a world manifold. It is necessary and sufficient in order that a world manifold admits a Riemannian metric and necessary for the existence of a pseudo-Riemannian metric. A world manifold is assumed to be connected and, consequently, it is arcwise connected.
Riemannian structure
The tangent bundle of a world manifold and the associated principal frame bundle of linear tangent frames in possess a general linear group structure group . A world manifold is said to be parallelizable if the tangent bundle and, accordingly, the frame bundle are trivial, i.e., there exists a global section (a frame field) of . It is essential that the tangent and associated bundles over a world manifold admit a bundle atlas of finite number of trivialization charts.
Tangent and frame bundles over a world manifold are natural bundles characterized by general covariant transformations. These transformations are gauge symmetries of gravitation theory on a world manifold.
By virtue of the well-known theorem on structure group reduction, a structure group of a frame bundle over a world manifold is always reducible to its maximal compact subgroup . The corresponding global section of the quotient bundle is a Riemannian metric on . Thus, a world manifold always admits a Riemannian metric which makes a metric topological space.
Lorentzian structure
In accordance with the geometric Equivalence Principle, a world manifold possesses a Lorentzian structure, i.e., a structure group of a frame bundle must be reduced to a Lorentz group . The corresponding global section of the quotient bundle is a pseudo-Riemannian metric of signature on . It is treated as a gravitational field in General Relativity and as a classical Higgs field in gauge gravitation theory.
A Lorentzian structure need not exist. Therefore a world manifold is assumed to satisfy a certain topological condition. It is either a noncompact topological space or a compact space with a zero Euler characteristic. Usually, one also requires that a world manifold admits a spinor structure in order to describe Dirac fermion fields in gravitation theory. There is the additional topological obstruction to the existence of this structure. In particular, a noncompact world manifold must be parallelizable.
Space-time structure
If a structure group of a frame bundle is reducible to a Lorentz group, the latter is always reducible to its maximal compact subgroup . Thus, there is the commutative diagram
of the reduction of structure groups of a frame bundle in gravitation theory. This reduction diagram results in the following.
(i) In gravitation theory on a world manifold , one can always choose an atlas of a frame bundle (characterized by local frame fields ) with -valued transition functions. These transition functions preserve a time-like component of local frame fields which, therefore, is globally defined. It is a nowhere vanishing vector field on . Accordingly, the dual time-like covector field also is globally defined, and it yields a spatial distribution on such that . Then the tangent bundle of a world manifold admits a space-time decomposition , where is a one-dimensional fibre bundle spanned by a time-like vector field . This decomposition, is called the -compatible space-time structure. It makes a world manifold the space-time.
(ii) Given the above mentioned diagram of reduction of structure groups, let and be the corresponding pseudo-Riemannian and Riemannian metrics on . They form a triple obeying the relation
Conversely, let a world manifold admit a nowhere vanishing one-form (or, equivalently, a nowhere vanishing vector field). Then any Riemannian metric on yields the pseudo-Riemannian metric
It follows that a world manifold admits a pseudo-Riemannian metric if and only if there exists a nowhere vanishing vector (or covector) field on .
Let us note that a -compatible Riemannian metric in a triple defines a -compatible distance function on a world manifold . Such a function brings into a metric space whose locally Euclidean topology is equivalent to a manifold topology on . Given a gravitational field , the -compatible Riemannian metrics and the corresponding distance functions are different for different spatial distributions and . It follows that physical observers associated with these different spatial distributions perceive a world manifold as different Riemannian spaces. The well-known relativistic changes of sizes of moving bodies exemplify this phenomenon.
However, one attempts to derive a world topology directly from a space-time structure (a path topology, an Alexandrov topology). If a space-time satisfies the strong causality condition, such topologies coincide with a familiar manifold topology of a world manifold. In a general case, they however are rather extraordinary.
Causality conditions
A space-time structure is called integrable if a spatial distribution is involutive. In this case, its integral manifolds constitute a spatial foliation of a world manifold whose leaves are spatial three-dimensional subspaces. A spatial foliation is called causal if no curve transversal to its leaves intersects each leave more than once. This condition is equivalent to the stable causality of Stephen Hawking. A space-time foliation is causal if and only if it is a foliation of level surfaces of some smooth real function on whose differential nowhere vanishes. Such a foliation is a fibred manifold . However, this is not the case of a compact world manifold which can not be a fibred manifold over .
The stable causality does not provide the simplest causal structure. If a fibred manifold is a fibre bundle, it is trivial, i.e., a world manifold is a globally hyperbolic manifold . Since any oriented three-dimensional manifold is parallelizable, a globally hyperbolic world manifold is parallelizable.

Iran welcomes UN court ruling in its favour over US sanctions
·6-min read
The International Court of Justice on Wednesday cleared the way for a ruling against US sanctions, which were re-imposed after Washington unilaterally cancelled a nuclear deal in 2018. But a final decision could still be some time away.
The ICJ rejected US objections to the tribunal's jurisdiction over Trump administration-era sanctions on Iran, but an ultimate resolution is still to be debated in the diplomatic arena.
Votes on the jurisdictional issues were unanimous against the US, with tribunal members voting 15-1 on some issues.
Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs Javad Zarif celebrated this announcement with a Twitter message saying "another legal victory for Iran following 3 Oct. '18 Order. Iran has always fully respected int'l law. High time for the US to live up to 𝙞𝙩𝙨 int'l obligations."
But Israel, worried about Iran's suspected nuclear weapons program and increasing military assertiveness in the region, is less happy, with the Jerusalem Post calling the ruling a "bizarre twist" in favor of a country that is involved in "terror and attacks by its proxies against the US since 1979," commenting that it "is highly questionable whether Washington will heed the order, as the court has no enforcement arm."
The International Court of Justice (ICJ,) based in The Hague, is the United Nation's top tribunal. The body is to decide this week whether it can take on Iran's bid to overturn US nuclear sanctions, reimposed in 2018 by the administration of former US president Donald Trump.
This came after Trump unilaterally withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a six nation agreement on reigning in Iran's nuclear programme.
Washington decided “to re-impose in full effect and enforce” sanctions and restrictive measures targeting, directly or indirectly, Iran and Iranian companies and/or nationals, which the United States had previously decided to lift."
On 4 October 2018, then US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, said Washington was "terminating" the 1955 friendship treaty in a reaction to the ICJ ordering access to humanitarian aid for Iran.
Future of the JCPOA negotiations unclear
In a bid to smooth over the abrupt decisions of the previous administration, newly appointed US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on 2 February that "if Iran comes back into full compliance with its obligations under the JCPOA, the United States would do the same, and then we would use that as a platform to build a longer and a stronger agreement that also addresses other areas of concern."
French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview with the Dubai-based Al Arabiya TV station that "talks on a new Iran deal will need to have the participation of countries in the region, including Saudi Arabia," a condition Iran immediately rejected.
A final ruling in the ICJ case on the US sanctions could still be months or even years away.
Long history of court cases since 1951
Tehran's complaint to the ICJ in mid-2018, accused Washington of breaching a 1955 friendship treaty between the two countries, and fits into a larger pattern of tit-for-tat legal battles.
The ICJ was created after World War II to solve disputes between UN member states.
The first-ever case involving Iran and the ICJ dates from 1951, when the United Kingdom supported the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (now BP) when then Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadeh planned to nationalise the oil industry - dominated by the UK and the US.
Iran then disputed the court’s jurisdiction and the case was eventually thrown out. In 1953, a CIA-backed coup backing Shah Reza Pahlevi removed Mossadeh. The US and Iran signed the "Treaty of Amity, Economic Relations and Consular Rights" in 1955.
In total, Iran and the US have confronted each other five times before the ICJ.
The treaty survived the demise of the Shah and the 1979 Islamic Revolution which brought the current regime to power, but the US and Iran became determined enemies.
The "Amity Treaty" continues in force, mostly as a basis for all but one of the ICJ cases involving the US and Iran: after the 1979 - 1981 hostage crisis involving the US embassy in Tehran, Washington imposed sanctions saying that Iran had violated a clause that guaranteed "safety and security" for US nationals.
The ICJ ruled that Iran was, indeed, in violation of the treaty, although the judgement said that "the conduct of militants" who staged the 444-day hostage taking at the US embassy "could not be directly attributed to the Iranian State". The court, however, added that the Iranian State "had done nothing to prevent the attack ... or oblige the militants to release the hostages".
US shooting down an Iranian airliner
Iran in its turn brought the US before the ICJ in 1989 after a US cruiser, the USS Vincennes, patrolling in the Persian Gulf, shot down an Iran Air Airbus A-300B, causing the deaths of its 290 passengers and crew. The case was settled out of court.
In 1992, Iran again took the US to the ICJ, invoking the Amity Treaty and alleging that US warships had destroyed three oil platforms during the 1987 - 1988 "Operation Nimble Archer," a retaliation against Iranian attacks on a Kuwaiti oil tanker. The Court ruled, by 14 votes to 2, that the "retaliatory attacks by the US Navy against certain Iranian oil platforms in the Persian Gulf in 1987 and 1988, although constituting an unlawful use of force, did not violate" the 1955 treaty "since the attacks did not adversely affect freedom of commerce".
9/11 attacks
And in another case in 2016, Iran - again invoking the Amity Treaty - tried to have US economic sanctions declared illegal. Washington imposed the penalties after the US designated Iran a "state sponsor of terrorism" in 1984, a decision which had a "serious adverse impact" on Iran's economy.
In the same deposition, Tehran complained about a New York District Court order that demanded Iran "pay more than US$10.5 billion to families of people killed in the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks," while 19 of the twenty known perpetrators were citizens of Saudi Arabia. This case is still pending.
In 2016, Tehran again went to court to contest US sanctions imposed after Washington's 1984 designation of Iran as a "state sponsor of terrorism". US measures had "a serious adverse impact upon the ability of Iran and of Iranian companies to exercise their rights to control and enjoy their property," including the Central Bank of Iran and state owned companies.
As the new US administration settles in for four years of resetting international relations, only time will tell if this week's first legal step in favour of Iran at the UN will bring diplomatic partners back to the negotiating table.

project management process
How ProofHub Boosts The Project Management Process?
ProofHub makes it easy to describe and document tasks and activities that various team members have to perform. As these get elaborately and accurately described, every member knows which of the tasks and activities he has to perform by the appointed time. They receive timely email notifications which will inform them about the upcoming deadlines of their tasks and they perform their tasks with more attention and productivity without missing or forgetting any of them. Thus every member is crystal clear about his role and duties he has to perform.
Communication and collaboration among team members working over a project can be easily enabled through discussions. They can instantly connect with their fellow members from anywhere in the world and actively discuss over an issue and provide suggestions, inputs for resolving it fast and efficiently. Thus multiple people are on the same page over an issue. This saves time and helps in timely and effective resolution of important matters besides building team spirit among members involved. Even clients, customers, sponsors and other stakeholders can be easily invited over projects and an organization can easily communicate with them over important business and project issues. This helps to build trust between an organization and its stakeholders.
Tracking of a project is a must to know if the project is on the right path and is proceeding according to the plan and schedule. ProofHub helps to achieve tracking over projects in an easy and effective manner. Dashboard helps to know which of the tasks and activities are being carried out at a particular point of time. Thus a project manager knows precisely who is doing what and if people are doing their work as desired. Gantt charts have been provided in ProofHub which help a project manager to know the progress over a project in a precise and analytical manner.
The level of completion of various tasks can be clearly viewed. Task dependencies can be accurately established and negotiated with. Any rescheduling of tasks can be achieved easily without making major changes to the original project plan.
ProofHub is a utilitarian project management system that will help project managers to have a firm grip over project affairs and deal with them in a flexible and enterprising manner. This will not only add to their capability, but will also lead to timely and successful execution of projects.

Why can't time run backwards?
Event type
Event date
room 11.1.2 and online
Prof. Anthony James Leggett (Professor Emeritus, University of Illinois, USA)
We can all tell when a movie of some everyday event, such as a kettle boiling or a glass shattering, is run backwards. Similarly, we all feel that we can remember the past and affect the future, not vice versa. So there is a very clear "arrow" (direction) of time built into our interpretation of our everyday experience.Yet the fundamental microscopic laws of physics, be they classical or quantum-mechanical, look exactly the same if the direction of time is reversed. So what is the origin of the "arrow" of time? This is one of the deepest questions in physics. I will review some relevant considerations, but do not pretend to give a complete answer.
