Tapeworms need to keep their head to regenerate
Scientists show that the location of stem cells is essential in determining tapeworms’ ability to regenerate.

Scientists have identified the stem cells that allow tapeworms to regenerate and found that their location in proximity to the head is essential, according to a new study in eLife.
These novel insights can help explain how tapeworms grow in their human and animal hosts and could be helpful in finding new ways to target these parasites.

Tapeworms are famous for the enormous lengths they reach and their ability to grow thousands of segments, called proglottids. During their normal life cycle, they shed large parts of their body and then regenerate to maintain a certain length. However, it has never been fully understood how they achieve this.
“We know that tapeworm regeneration is likely to involve stem cells, but up until now their potential to regenerate has never been comprehensively studied,” explains lead author Tania Rozario of the Morgridge Institute for Research at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, US. “In this study, we explored which parts of the tapeworm are able to regenerate and how this regeneration is driven by stem cells.”
The team used a toolbox of molecular techniques to answer these questions. First, they removed certain fragments of the worms and then grew them in the lab to determine which regions of the body can regenerate. This showed that neither the head nor posterior body alone can regenerate and that the neck portion is needed. Astonishingly, severing the head from the neck did not stop the tapeworm from continuing to grow, but the regeneration of new segments was inhibited. Only when the tapeworm head and neck were left intact could the tapeworm continuously regenerate segments.
Next, they tested whether the neck contains special stem cells that allow tapeworms to regenerate. They labelled rapidly multiplying cells in the worms and then studied their location in the body. They found that these cells exist throughout the whole body and not just in the neck. Further studies also revealed no evidence for stem cells that are unique to the neck.
These findings led the team to speculate that stem cells are found throughout the tapeworm but that signals only operating in the neck are necessary to activate them. To test this, they administered irradiated tapeworms (that would be destined to die) with donor cells from different parts of a healthy worm. These donor cells rescued the worms and allowed them to regenerate. When stem cells were removed from the donor cells, this rescue could not occur.
This proves that the rapidly growing cells identified in the study are bona fide stem cells that can establish and regenerate within another host worm. Moreover, stem cells from any part of the body could rescue the injured worms, which suggests that external factors, rather than features of stem cells in the neck, allow regeneration to occur.
“It appears that in tapeworms, location matters enormously,” concludes senior author Phillip Newmark, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator at the Morgridge Institute for Research. “The head and neck environments provide cues that control the ability of stem cells to regenerate segments, even though the stem cells involved in this process are not confined to either one of these areas of the body.”

THE SKY TIDES NPC JOURNAL (tidesnpc) wrote in theskytides,
Why couldn't they harvest grain instead? Grain didn't try to KILL YOU [Open!]
Characters: 4423 crew
Content: The 4423 crew goes lightning harvest for some quick money. But will they survive the tumulus storm? Stay tuned for more "All my Loli's Pirates!"
Setting: Deck of the 4423. In the middle of a freaking storm.
Time: Lightning hunting tiem
Warnings: Probably swearing. THIS JOB SUCKS.
Notes: If you're the first person to start a thread for your group, please indicate it in the subject, such as "Station 2 - Mini Rod 1" or something similar, just so your fellow groupmates can find you! Groups are here for reference. If someone doesn't respond for over a day, feel free to skip their turn. NPC cues will be given at different intervals to alert you group to lightning strikes.
The storm was fast approaching the lone ship. No, it wasn't only that the storm was approaching, the ship was also rushing to meet it. What kind of fools would throw themselves into this peril?
A crew of pirates, of course. The ship continued toward the ominous clouds as a bolt shot from one cloud to another, as if warding them off. Despite this, the ship did not change its course.
Now the ship's crew began to rush out onto the deck, carrying various equipment with them, beginning to set it up. The conspicuous rod in the middle of the deck foreshadowed their goal.
It was time to hunt lightning.

Weight gain during menopause tied to brain changes
Healthy women who put on weight between the premenopausal and postmenopausal years risk losing nerve cells in the brain, research suggests.
Gaining weight is a "highly modifiable" risk factor that may be targeted to prevent or slow the progression of potentially harmful age-related changes in the brain, the University of Pittsburgh-based study team suggests in the June issue of Psychosomatic Medicine.
Dr. Isabella Soreca and colleagues analyzed brain imaging data obtained from 48 healthy older women who were tracked over a 20-year period as part of the longitudinal epidemiological Pittsburgh Healthy Women Study.
They report in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine that an increase in body weight during the transition to menopause and beyond was "uniquely associated" with a lower volume of gray matter (the portion of the brain containing nerve cell bodies).
Soreca and colleagues say this finding is "particularly noteworthy" given that these were healthy older women who entered menopause naturally and had no history of cardiovascular disease or psychiatric disease and none were obese in mid-life or later on.
"Women may be particularly motivated to maintain a healthy weight in the postmenopausal years, should it be confirmed that weight gain causes alteration in brain function that is important to quality of life," Soreca and colleagues conclude.

UTI Symptoms—Nausea and Vomiting
UTI Symptoms—Nausea and Vomiting
UTI Symptoms
Anyone can get them, but urinary tract infections (UTIs ) are especially common among us ladies. The symptoms of painful, frequent or urgent urination are all too familiar, and usually, signal the presence of a urinary tract infection. Advanced urinary tract infections can spread to the bladder and can result in cloudy, bloody or particularly strong-smelling urine.
Kidney Infection vs. Urinary Tract Infection
If left untreated, UTI symptoms can get worse and the problem can progress from a urinary tract infection (a big deal) to a kidney infection (a bigger deal); and as the infection progresses, so do the symptoms.
Aches and pains in the back, fever and chills, nausea and vomiting, and sometimes even confusion are all signs that a UTI has advanced to a kidney infection.1 Your body is saying, “Hey! I’m serious! I need some attention!”
UTI Symptoms: The Why and The What
Lots of things can cause a UTI, but they all boil down to the presence of bacteria—something’s there that shouldn’t be. There are several reasons why, but sex is a big one. In fact, nearly 80 percent of pre–menopausal women diagnosed with a UTI, have had sex within the previous 24 hours.2 During sex, bacteria from the genital area and the anus can come into contact with the urethra; and after a quick trip up the urethra, it causes inflammation. The use of diaphragms and spermicide can also contribute to the development of UTIs, as could sex with a new partner or frequent intercourse.2
One reason women are especially at-risk has to do with basic plumbing—a woman’s urethra (the tube which empties the bladder) is significantly shorter than a man’s, which means that the bacteria have a shorter distance to travel in order to cause infection. Also, in women, the opening of the urethra is closer to the anus—making the trip for bacteria even shorter.3
UTI Treatments
As with any infection, consult your physician. Most UTIs and kidney infections are readily (and very successfully) treatable with simple oral antibiotics. Some instances may require further measures, but the good news is that there’s no reason to be scared, just good reason to take action. You cannot treat the infection on your own—you need help. So, go get it!
In the meantime, you can address the symptoms of your UTI. A heating pad or moist towelette, a warm compress is a good way to soothe the aching muscles of the lower back. Drinking lots of water keeps the body hydrated and encourages the body to get rid of unwanted toxins and bacteria. Avoid tight-fitting jeans or other snug-fitting clothes on your lower half. Instead, opt for loose clothing which allows your skin to breathe and helps prevent the growth of more bacteria.
Ginger and peppermint, in the form of topically applied essential oils, ingested teas, and aromatherapy tinctures are known, effective alternative remedies for nausea and vomiting that can accompany a UTI or kidney infection. Acupuncture and acupressure have also proven useful, particularly in cases where herbal remedies are not preferred, such as during pregnancy, where there may be concerns about drug interactions.4
So, what are you gonna do about it?
Stuff happens. It’s no big thing unless you let it become a big thing.
So, remember: There’s bad & there’s worse.
Then, there’s getting better all the time.

Comcast Security Flaw Exposes Partial Addresses, Social Security Numbers of 26 Million Users (buzzfeednews.com)66
olsmeister writes:A security flaw in the Comcast Xfinity online portal exposed social security numbers and partial home addresses of more than 26.5 million subscribers, according to security researcher Ryan Stevenson. Comcast says the flaws have already been patched and that it currently has no reason to believe that the flaws were ever exploited.BuzzFeed reports of the two vulnerabilities:One of the flaws could be exploited by going to an "in-home authentication" page where customers can pay their bills without signing in. The portal asked customers to verify their account by choosing from one of four partial home addresses it suggested, if the device was (or seemed like it was) connected to the customer's home network. If a hacker obtained a customer's IP address and spoofed Comcast using an "X-forwarded-for" technique, they could repeatedly refresh this login page to reveal the customer's location. That's because each time the page refreshed, three addresses would change, while one address, the correct address, remained the same. Eventually, the page would show the first digit of the street number and first three letters of the correct street name, while asterisks hid the remaining characters. A hacker could then use IP lookup websites to determine the city, state, and postal code of the partial address.
In the second vulnerability that Stevenson discovered, a sign-up page through the website for Comcast's Authorized Dealers (sales agents stationed at non-Comcast retail locations) revealed the last four digits of customers' Social Security numbers. Armed with just a customer's billing address, a hacker could brute-force (in other words, repeatedly try random four-digit combinations until the correct combination is guessed) the last four digits of a customer's Social Security number. Because the login page did not limit the number of attempts, hackers could use a program that runs until the correct Social Security number is inputted into the form.
After learning of these vulnerabilities, Comcast disabled in-home authentication and put a strict rate limit on the portal. Here's what a Comcast spokesperson had to say about the matter: "We quickly investigated these issues and within hours we blocked both vulnerabilities, eliminating the ability to conduct the actions described by these researchers. We take our customers' security very seriously, and we have no reason to believe these vulnerabilities were ever used against Comcast customers outside of the research described in this report."

14.5 wsm or MES
post #1 of 4
Thread Starter
Hi, I'm looking to expand my cooking family and have narrowed it down to a 14.5 wsm or a MES. Some of the qualities I'm looking for are
1) Convenience-
- Ease of cleaning is an issue with my current 22.5 the pan is a beach! I know I know foil the pan, but I can never make that work. The smaller 14.5 would be easier to clean in theory.
- Also the MES is appealing for the set it and forget it nature, especially on all night cooks like butts and briskets.
- Size, i'm looking for something smaller because busting out the 22.5 wsm for just my wife and I is ridiculous. The 14.5 would be ideal. The MES is larger yes but wouldn't feel guilty burning a whole bag of lump for just a couple chickens.
2) Cost after Purchase
- It's not a huge deal but going with the MES would reduce my cost after purchase by not having to buy charcoal. I understand you still need chips/pellets etc. But also need to buy chunks with charcoal smokers.
Taste- will I be sacrificing any taste going to an electric from my usual charcoal?
Durability- obviously if taken care of weber products will last a lifetime. How do MES' do?
basically I'm leaning towards the MES for convenience but if I lose a bunch of flavor due to lack of charcoal I might not go that route. Yes I know people like the electric smokers, and yes I know their are die hard charcoal enthusiasts. I want people who have both or had both to chime in please :)
thanks for reading and for your replies.

Get the WSM 14.5 incher!!!!!!
I got mine from FireCraft!
I wouldn't have another MES....NEVER!!!!!...not even if it were free!!!

hmmmmmmm after reading this my mind may be made up already for the 14.5 WSM
post #4 of 4
I have a mes and a mini wsm ( basically a 14.5 wsm ). I use the mini all the time. Love the charcoal taste and once you get use to it, it will cook all night with out touching it.
I use the mes for precise temp and smoke control using the AMNPS.
The charcoal will give a more bbq flavor.
Hope I helped some.

Ards Upper
Ards Upper is a barony in County Down.[1] It lies on the southern half of the Ards Peninsula in the east of the county, with the Irish Sea to its east and Strangford Lough to its west. It is bordered by two other baronies: Ards Lower to the north; and Lecale Lower just across the mouth of Strangford Lough to the south.[1]
The barony of Ards Upper was created in 1851 when the barony of Ards was split into two, the other part being Ards Lower.[2]

Take the 2-minute tour ×
I want to fill an ArrayList (Appointment_List) with HashMap's (Appointment), but each time I need to change the value of specified elements(Appt_Start_Time and endtime).
Here is the code:
for (int i = 1; i < Appt_Length; i++) {
Start_Time = End_Time;
Start_Minute = Curr_Start_Minute;
Start_Minute += My_Calendar.Get_Time_Interval();
if (Start_Minute >= 60) {
Tmp_Start_Hour += 1;
Curr_Start_Minute = 0;
} else {
Curr_Start_Minute = Start_Minute;
End_Time = Time.Get_Index_Time(Tmp_Start_Hour, Curr_Start_Minute);
Appointment.put("Appt_Start_Time", Start_Time);
Appointment.put("endtime", End_Time);
But after I execute this code I got the appointments in the Appointment_List but all of them have Appointment.get("Appt_Start_Time") and Appointment.get("endtime") equals to last values the loop come with.
Why is Appt_Start_Time and endtime reseted each time, when I add a new element?

Your PHP/C style naming conventions doesn't help much to interpret your code snippet seamlessly. When writing Java, try to adhere the Java naming conventions. – BalusC Aug 5 '10 at 11:02
This doesn't answer your question, but I think you might have an off-by-one error in your loop. Are you sure you don't want to start with i = 0? – Simon Nickerson Feb 2 '12 at 17:34

Appointment is THE SAME HashMap instance every iteration. You should do something like that:
Appointment = new HashMap();
// ... do something with appointment ...
This way you'll put a fresh new map to the list each iteration.

Your objects hold a reference to the Start_Time. Since you keep reusing the same variable, only thing that changes is the pointer to the object. That way, all your objects have a field that points to the same object.
Try using a new implementation of a Date for each iteration of the loop.

what do you mean by "new implementation of a Date "? – ama Aug 5 '10 at 10:02
What I mean is that you create a new instance of the variable. – Kurt Du Bois Aug 5 '10 at 10:19
sorry can you help me by coding what you are talking about? – ama Aug 5 '10 at 10:37

You need to create a new instance of Start_Time and End_Time in the for loop. If you don't, the same object gets added every single time, thus also pointing to the same data in your memory.

Use clone() when adding a new object to the map.
When adding an object to a map, the added object is only referenced by the map.

I think the code should look more like this:
public class Appointment {
public Appointment(Date startTime, Date endTime) {
public void fillAppointments() {
int totalAppointments = 10;
List<Appointment> appointments = new ArrayList<Appointment>();
Date startTime = new Date();
Date endTime = new Date();
for (int i = 1; i < totalAppointments; i++) {
startTime = new Date(endTime.getTime());
// ... other magic code ...
endTime = new Date();
appointments.add(new Appointment(startTime, endTime));

Tilling up talent: Perham man cultivates hidden skill for unconventional art
Rod Swanson, 78, poses for a portrait in his home in front of his collection of homemade tractors. "He worked construction his whole life, we never saw talent like that before," his daughter Jodi Sjolie said. (Carter Jones / FOCUS) 1 / 4

One of Rod Swanson's tractors sits on display in his Perham home. Swanson starts each project with raw steel and references up to 50 photos to include every little detail. (Carter Jones / FOCUS) 4 / 4
A few miles north of Perham, past Little Pine Lake, resides an everyday man with an extraordinary collection. Dozens of antique tractors are housed inside his modest home; there are Minneapolis-Molines, antique steam threshers, Farmalls and John Deeres from every era. While they're solid steel, they never harvested crops or plowed snow; they're models handmade by Rod Swanson.
When Swanson, 78, retired after working road construction 80 hours a week his whole life, he needed to find a hobby. After attending the Thresherman's Reunion in Rollag with his grandson every year, Swanson thought he'd try making his own tractors.
After years of practice, Swanson's skills— and his tractor collection — keep on growing.
Swanson starts each project with raw, scrap steel he purchases in rods and sheets from a galvanizer in Fargo.
"What they call scrap is gold to me," he said in his gruff voice. "If it wasn't for that, I couldn't afford to buy the stuff."
Working on four at a time, he references over 50 pictures to include tiny oil filters, hoses and plugs. Swanson then toils away in his shop for three to four months at a time before he emerges with each finished set. Swanson numbers each set with magic marker, writing its number, the date and his signature underneath.
Swanson's "whatever it takes to get it done," mentality means he added a whole new wing to his pole barn to fit all of the tools he's added over time. From milling machines to steel saws and two lathes, Swanson has everything he needs to get into each tractors finest detail.
To a visitor, the shop would appear a mess of tools and metal dust, but Swanson, knowing it like the back of his hand, navigates through it swiftly, pointing out what is what. A closer looks show that the shop is actually perfectly organized. Swanson stopped at a massive lathe with belts sticking out of the top. "This is older than me, and your dad, and you," he said laughing.
"Some people say, 'Oh what the hell' you know, and other people say 'Where do you get the kits,'" Swanson said.
After all that work, they just accumulate in his home; it's rare he gives them away, let alone sells any.
"I don't sell anything. I wouldn't know how to put a price on them," he said. With each one weighing over 30 pounds, shipping them is nearly impossible, and Swanson just doesn't see a market for them. "I have $250 to $300 in each one, people wouldn't pay. The right guy might, if someone had that specific one."
"He's got so many," Swanson's Daughter Jodi Sjolie said. "The house is going to cave in, why are you making more?" she asked her father.
Swanson's stinginess means those that are lucky enough to own one of his creations cherish them deeply. "He doesn't just hand them out," Sjolie said. "It's evolved into a pastime, not a money maker."
Sjolie remembers each Christmas there would be a drawing between all the kids, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to win one of the tractors. Now Swanson has given them to everyone in the family, including some painted hot pink for his granddaughters.
"I don't know what's going to happen to them when I decide to leave the world," Swanson said. "The kids got what they want now, and they think some of them are stupid that I keep."
Two shelves are filled with a model from each set with a region of his basement reserved for the rest. Looking at the whole collection at once, it's evident how his skills have refined over the years. The first tractors were crude with logos and model numbers handwritten with marker. Now he uses stickers for the logos and orders custom paint colors to get everything perfect.
"He did road construction his whole life; we never saw talent like that before," Sjolie said. "He really has to keep busy, it's kind of like a job to him. He thinks about it all the time and can't let it go until they're done."
"I don't know what my theory is why I want so many," Swanson said. "They're all over the place."
Swanson said his daughter thinks of them as dust collectors. "When my daughter comes home she cleans, and I just hide out in the shop and look the other way," Swanson said.
"We're really grateful, and think it's cool, but I have to dust them." Sjolie says laughing.

Catholic bishops say new birth-control rules still lacking
Nice try, but not good enough.
That sums up the response of U.S. Catholic bishops to new rules proposed by the Obama administration for faith-based employers who object to covering contraception for their workers.
Under the proposed new rules announced last week, churches would be exempt from the contraceptive mandate, meaning they don't have to provide birth control to employees.
Faith-based groups such as hospitals, schools and other charities aren't exempt from the mandate. Instead, they get an accommodation.

Las vegas; Public transportation to airport $2.50 (from north strip) From start to finish
Las vegas; Public transportation to airport .50 (from north strip) From start to finish
Took the bus from stratosphere hotel to the airport. Save yourself a ton of money and frustration by riding the bus! Taxi is a certain ripoff and so are the shuttles. Here is my comments about public transportation from my reviews at yelp
The first time I went to Vegas, I was told that the only way to get to the strip from the airport was by one of those the airport shuttle. It was such a terrible experience there's got to be a better way. On my way back to the airport I ask the hotel concierge how to get back to the airport by public transportation, the concierge promptly told me, “there are no public transportation to the airport, but I can book you on a shuttle service”, to which I reply, “how does the local get to the airport”. Concierge “They take the shuttle too”. me “so they have to take the bus to your hotel so they can transfer to an airport shuttle?”, Concierge; “… yes. ” to which I reply, “your are nuts”. Obviously, the concierge get a kick back from the shuttle companies, that's why a 1 mile trip cost like 17 dollars. (last time I check) I was just so disappointed that a professional who's job is to provide information would so blatantly lie to the people whom they were paid to serve.
And so I was determined to find a public transportation alternative, then share it with everybody I know.

The major attractions in Las Vegas are the casinos and the hotels. Most of the hotel casinos are in the city's downtown area, which has been the focal point of the city's gaming industry since its early days.
Most casinos are downtown on the Fremont Street Experience, The Stratosphere being the major exception. Fremont East, adjacent to the Fremont Street Experience, was granted variances to allow bars to be closer together, similar to the Gaslamp Quarter of San Diego, the goal being to attract a different demographic than the Strip attracts.
Las Vegas got its start with casinos in 1931 with the opening of the Northern Club (now the La Bayou).[31][32] The most notable of the early casinos may have been Binion's Horseshoe (now Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel) while it was run by Benny Binion. Boyd Gaming has a major presence downtown operating the California Hotel and Casino, Fremont Hotel and Casino and the Main Street Casino. The Golden Gate Hotel and Casino is the oldest hotel in the Fremont Street Experience. The Golden Nugget is the largest hotel and casino in the city. The Plaza Hotel & Casino on Main Street was the railway station until Amtrak discontinued service. Other casinos include the El Cortez, The D, Four Queens, Gold Spike Hotel and Casino and the Las Vegas Club.
The gambling and entertainment industry in Las Vegas is mostly focused in the Las Vegas Strip. The Strip is not actually located in city limits, but instead in the surrounding unincorporated communities of Paradise and Winchester. The largest and most notable casinos and buildings are located there.

When you are challenged with what coordinates with uncommon combination colors like pink and red, turquoise and yellow, orange and blue, ect., I say get NAKED. Yea, that's right. Go NUDE and rid yourself of color. It's the perfect solution for fashion challenges like this. An outfit that has lots of color can be paired with shoes and accessories that have no color at all. It gives your ensemble the perfect balance and won't over power you or your look. On the other hand, nude, ironically, can be the POP to an outfit. For instance, I love wearing black and white with nude shoes/accessories. I get bored with the standard black, red or pink with black and white. It is very expected and Fashionistas are all about the unexpected. White looks very chic with nude tones as well. So the next time you feel like you have too much on or you want to shake things up a bit, just take it off and expose yourself! Strip down, uncover, get naked, bare it all...go NUDE. Yes, everyone will stare and that's exactly what you want them to do;)
Yours in Fashion...MeMe

First impression to China
It is my first time to do an internship abroad for a long period. First, I thought that 4 month would be long but now I can tell you that is too short. The life in China, in Chengdu especially, is really convenient. I only needed a couple of days to get used to it. But once you have your marks, everything is so simple. People are so kind with you if you need any help. The food is so cheap and so delicious.
Induction day for my internship in China
My first day at the office for the internship was really nice, my boss and my Chinese colleagues made me feel comfortable almost directly. They took the time to explain me the different products of the company and the objectives I will have to achieve. During the lunch, we went to a restaurant to eat some typical Chinese dishes. It is the way they do things in order to welcome new co-worker in the company. In that way I learned to know everyone from my company a little bit more.
My office life in China
The first thing that I experienced which was different from home, is the lunch break. Here in China, it is common to have a longer break, 2 hours, in order to eat during one part of the break and have a nap for what remains of the break. I was really surprise but I think it is a funny way of see and do things.
I work for small company, only 10 employees. I prefer it in that way because when I ask something, everyone is glad to bring me his help. It is really nice to feel appreciated and helped by everyone you work with.
Chengdu is a great city for an internship if it’s your first time of coming to China
As I said above, the life in Chengdu is really convenient. On every level such as doing sport, eat for cheap, doing shopping, have a drink with friends etc. If you are a little bit smart and that you have several local friends you can rely on, it is easy to find or do whatever you want.
To overcome challenges and improve myself during the internship in China!
For the moment the first challenge is to find a big client for my company. My company is a supplier in animatronics products such as Dinosaurs, animals, insects etc. So it is a big challenge to find someone who might be interested in that kind of products. But I do not desperate; I will keep trying until I find one during my internship!
For the moment, I learned to improve my skills to do commercials videos, the way to approach customers from different country. The way you talk/deal with a German is different that the way you will talk/deal with an American for example. I also improve my skills to build better database for my company.
I am only on the half of my journey here, I learned so much since and I hope I will learn way more!

Natural Selection
You’ve heard about it, now learn about it! In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby explain the details of natural selection (and with natural selection, it’s all in the details)! You’ll see how both environmental factors and mutations in an organism’s genetic material lead to natural selection doing its thing. You can also discover out how natural selection is related to evolution and what the term “survival of the fittest” means. And, you’ll find out how all life on Earth is connected, thanks to natural selection. It’s so naturally awesome!

hOT7T175 Receptor
Introduction: Cancer therapy has been transformed from the demonstration that tumor-specific T-cells can eliminate tumor cells inside a clinical setting with minimal long-term toxicity
Introduction: Cancer therapy has been transformed from the demonstration that tumor-specific T-cells can eliminate tumor cells inside a clinical setting with minimal long-term toxicity. off these manufactured cells. culture conditions, and re-infused into individuals could accomplish objective tumor reactions. Recently, T-cells expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) have become a popular technology platform to assault leukemia and lymphoma. With the FDA authorization of Novartiss tisagenlecleucel, and Kites axicabtagene ciloleucel, CD19 CAR T-cell therapy for pediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and adult diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, respectively, interest has grown around the possibility of achieving related success against solid tumors. Relapsed and metastatic solid tumors continue to resist treatment with current medical methods, but breakthrough results with CAR T-cell therapies against solid tumors have not Benzoylaconitine been achieved. We have focused our review within the successes of adoptive immunotherapy, its shortcomings when applied to solid tumors, and the combinatorial solutions that are likely necessary to increase clinical effectiveness in Benzoylaconitine treating tumor. 2.?Overview of Chimeric Antigen Receptors CARs were first described as a fusion of an extracellular single chain fragment variable chain (scFv) with the intracellular signaling website from your T-cell receptor [2]. This invention, when launched into T-cells through retroviral vector transduction, permitted the facile manufacture of large quantities of T-cells that identify tumor-associated antigens (Number 1). It was soon recognized, however, that these manufactured T-cells required additional signals to proliferate, launch inflammatory cytokines and orchestrate an effective immune response [3,4], since clinical evaluation of first generation CARs revealed limited efficacy [5C7]. This resulted in the incorporation of costimulatory endodomains into Vehicles, beginning with Compact disc28 and consequently extending to substances such as for example OX40 and 41BB through the tumor necrosis element (TNF) receptor family members. These new Vehicles had been dubbed second era if indeed they included an individual costimulatory endodomain addition (such as for example Compact disc28. or 41BB.), or third era if indeed they included two costimulatory endodomains (such as for example Compact disc28.41BB. or Compact disc28.OX40.) [8C11]. With one of these improved practical CAR backbones, the immunotherapy community IL17RA could interrogate different cell surface area focus on antigens for CAR T-cell reputation of human being tumors. These targets are reviewed elsewhere [11] extensively. Open in another window Shape 1: Summary of Benzoylaconitine Chimeric antigen receptorsThe schematic displays successive iterations of chimeric antigen receptor style. First era CAR molecules are comprised of an individual string fragment adjustable (scFv) produced from a monoclonal antibody associated with an extracellular spacer and transmembrane site (which may be produced from antibody parts such as for example IgG1 and IgG4 or from additional molecules such as for example Compact disc8 and Compact disc28), accompanied by the string signaling endodomain. Second era CAR substances and third era CAR substances incorporate one and two costimulatory substances, respectively, to improve T-cell cytokine and expansion launch. 2.1. Effectiveness of tumor-redirected CAR T-cells against leukemia Focusing on Compact disc19, a B-cell antigen, with CAR T-cells offers produced effective reactions in individuals with treatment refractory leukemia highly. Inside a pioneering case record, an individual infusion of 10 million Compact disc19-particular CAR T-cells (revised having a lentiviral vector and including a 41BB endodomain) extended 1000-collapse after infusion and eradicated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in an individual who had currently failed multiple medication regimens [12]. Extra CLL patients treated with this therapy experienced similarly dramatic and long-lasting remissions [13]. CD19-CAR T-cells using an identical design were then shown to produce complete remissions in 90% of cases of drug-refractory pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia [14]. Similarly, CD19-CAR T-cells generated with a retroviral vector and utilizing a CD28 endodomain produced robust results in relapsed adult ALL patients [15]. However, complete responses were not always long-lasting, as antigen-loss escape was seen due to the emergence of leukemia cells expressing CD19 molecules that had frameshift or missense mutations, as well as alternatively spliced CD19 variants, allowing the target cells to escape recognition by the CD19-CAR scFv [16]. These breakthrough results serve as a powerful validation for the therapeutic potential of immunotherapy and indicate that identical breakthroughs you can Benzoylaconitine do for CAR T-cell therapies against solid Benzoylaconitine tumors. 2.2. Effectiveness of tumor-redirected CAR T-cells against solid tumors As opposed to the achievement observed in liquid tumors up to now, intense adoptive cell therapy regimens have already been had a need to achieve moderate leads to solid tumors sometimes. The to begin these scholarly studies utilized TIL technology because CAR.

502 Salivary Flow Rates in Primary and Secondary Sjogren’s Syndrome
Presentation Type: Poster Session
M.L. SINGH, S. KECK, E. TZAVARAS, S. SUNDARALINGAM, and A. PAPAS, Oral Medicine, Tufts University, Boston, MA
Objective: To compare whole unstimulated saliva(WUS) and paraffin stimulated whole saliva (WSS) rates in patients diagnosed with primary and secondary Sjogren’s Syndrome.
Method: A total of 133 patients of the Oral medicine clinic were evaluated in this retrospective study. WUS and WSS were compared in a group of patients diagnosed with primary Sjogren’s syndrome by the presence of positive serological markers (N= 91), SSA or SSB, or with a minor salivary gland biopsy of the lower lip, with a group of patients diagnosed with Sjogren’s syndrome secondary (n=42) to other autoimmune or connective tissue diseases (e.g. Rheumatoid Arthritis, Scleroderma, Systemic Lupus Erythromatosis). Saliva was collected by the drooling method. Data was analyzed using independent sample T-test, Levine’s test for variance.
Result: The mean WUS salivary flow rate was lower in the primary Sjogren’s ( .075 ± .15 ml/min) compared to secondary Sjogren’s syndrome (.096 ± 0.262 ml/min). However, the stimulated saliva was higher in the primary Sjogren’s (.80 ± .97 ml/min) compared to (.767 ±.874 ml/min) in secondary Sjogren’s. There was no statistical significance when these two groups were compared with each other with regards to WUS and WSS
Conclusion: The level of salivary hypofunction does not differ significantly in primary or secondary Sjogren’s syndrome. Larger studies may indicate the differences in salivary gland destruction and salivary gland hypofunction in primary and secondary Sjogren’s syndrome.
Keywords: Saliva, Salivary dysfunction, Salivary glands and Sjogren's

Those historical water pollution incidents
Those historical water pollution incidents
Since the entry into the industrial revolution in human society, many water pollution incidents caused by industrial pollution have caused indelible harm to human beings. The most famous ones are the three water pollution incidents that occurred in the middle of the 20th century.
Minamata disease event
Minamata disease first occurred in Shuiyu Town, Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan in 1953. At that time, it was called Minamata Disease because the cause was unknown.
This condition first appeared on cats and was called "cat chorea". The state of the sick cat is gait instability, convulsions, and even death in the sea. Soon after, people who were suffering from this disease were found to have symptoms such as slurred speech, gait paralysis, dull facial expression, loss of vision, deformation of hands and feet, and severe disorders such as nervousness, drowsiness, or excitement. The body bends and screams until it dies.
The source of the strange disease is a nitrogen fertilizer company in Shuiyu Town. In the production process, the company discharges mercury-containing wastewater into Minamata Bay, forms a series of reactions to form methylmercury and accumulates it in aquatic organisms, and is gradually enriched through the food chain. Finally, humans consume organic mercury. After fish and shellfish, it causes heavy metal poisoning.
What is even more terrifying is that the hereditary nature of Minamata disease is also very strong. After eating healthy seafood contaminated with methylmercury, healthy people may cause congenital water rickets in future generations. In many children with congenital mink disease, there are physical and linguistic barriers.
Painful illness
The Japanese painful illness occurred in the Shentongchuan basin of Toyama Prefecture, Japan. The “Shentongchuan” is not only the drinking water source of people living on the two sides of the Shentongchuan River in the central Toyama Plain, but also the source of irrigation water for agricultural production.
In 1931, there was a strange disease. At the beginning, the patient's condition was manifested as joint pain. After several years, the patient's body parts will have neuralgia, bone pain and other phenomena, which is difficult to act. In the later stages of the disease, the patient's bones will soften, the spine will be deformed, the limbs will be bent, the bones will be abnormally crisp, and even the cough can cause fractures. The pain is incomparable. Patients often yell "pain, die!" This condition is called "pain."
In the 40s and 60s of the last century, after long-term research in the Japanese medical community, it was found that “pain and pain” is cadmium poisoning caused by the Shengang mine wastewater in the upper reaches of Shentongchuan. The Shengang mine in the upper reaches of Shentongchuan in Fushan County has long discharged untreated wastewater into Shentongchuan, polluting the water source, and using this cadmium-containing water to water the farmland, the rice produced has become “cadmium rice”. As a heavy metal substance harmful to human body, cadmium is mainly ingested into the body of local people through “cadmium rice” and “cadmium water”, which brings indelible harm to people living on both sides of the strait.
Rhine event
The Rhine River is a famous international river originating from the northern foothills of the Alps in Switzerland, flowing through Austria, France, Germany and the Netherlands, and finally injecting the North Sea near Rotterdam.
Beginning in the middle of the 20th century, with the rapid development of industry, the Rhine River was once the largest sewer in Europe. In the German section alone, hundreds of factories dumped thousands of pollutants such as acids, dyes, copper, cadmium, mercury, detergents and pesticides into Hanoi. The waste oil discharged by the ships, the domestic sewage of the residents on both sides of the strait, as well as the chemical fertilizers and pesticides produced in agriculture, have caused serious water pollution.
The fire in the warehouse of the Sandos chemical plant in Basel, Switzerland on November 1, 1986, has made Europe's efforts to control the Rhine for decades, all the sulphide and phosphide. Mercury and fire extinguishing agent solutions are injected into the river with water, causing a large number of aquatic organisms such as squid to die. The accident forced many waterworks along the coast to be forced to close, and some areas switched to fire trucks to supply water to residents.
Nowadays, water purifiers have become popular in large numbers. In the event of water pollution, if you have a RO machine installed in your home, you will no longer have to worry. Because the pure water from the RO machine is completely free of heavy metals.
Healthy water can protect the happiness of a home.

The Jackpot Effect: Helping Your Dogs Win the Lotto
Harnessing the power of the lottery for the greater good!
The Jackpot Effect was first talked about in Karen Pryor’s book, “Don’t Shoot the Dog!” In it, she describes the Jackpot effect as how willing your subject will act after you provide them a large reinforcer, ie. a jackpot.
On the science side, however, Karen Pryor notes that things aren’t very definitive. The science behind the jackpot effect ranges from being fuzzy, to pointing out how the jackpot effect doesn’t in fact exist. Despite its controversial nature, the jackpot effect is still something worth talking about since a bunch of animal trainers, myself included, practically swear on it.
Let’s dig into these topics in a little more depth.
What is the Jackpot Effect?
The Jackpot Effect should leave you feeling happy cause something rare just happened to you and it’s amazing!
To be more clear, the Jackpot Effect is specifically when you reward your subject with a larger than average reward for a wanted behavior. In return, your subject becomes more willing and motivated to perform more behaviors for you. By ‘larger than average’, I mean extravagantly larger than average. I personally define it as “the jackpot must be large enough to make my subject give a figurative ‘holy shit.’” It’s not the most scientific definition in the world, but I find that it works when I need to figure out just how big the jackpot should be.
In comparison, Karen Pryor defines it as:
A jackpot is an unexpected, high-value reinforcer used sparingly and contingently to reinforce a significant breakthrough in training.”
Ah, much more scientific.
What’s important to note here is that it’s used sparingly and mostly for breakthroughs in training. Ideally, this cements into your pet that you absolutely adored what they just did, and your pets in turn will want to do that difficult behavior again.
In my own experiences with dogs, you’ll also want to keep jackpots to a minimum since these reinforcers are a huge intake of calories and if overused, it’s very easy for your dog to become overweight.
In her post about the Jackpot Effect, Karen Pryor notes how this was also used in sea parks to keep dolphins and orcas motivated through high-value treats. When they performed difficult behaviors or if they had a breakthrough in the training, the dolphins would get a high value treat like a mackerel. Due to the high fat content in those fish however, they were extremely coveted among the dolphins but that fat also limited each dolphin to 1 per day. As a result, it was easy to determine that the mackerel was a high-value treat for the dolphins and would then be used as a jackpot in training.
This concept can be applied back to dog training by keeping in mind which of our treats are considered high-value by our pets. For my last few foster dogs, I’ve used peanut-butter filled kongs, or peanut-butter snacks as a high value treat. But most of the time it takes some testing with my dogs to figure out which treats they consider high-value and which ones they consider low-value.
What Does Science Say?
The Jackpot Effect still needs a lot of scientific research done on it. We’re not even sure it’s real just yet.
There’s been some discussion on whether the Jackpot Effect is real at all. Accounts that claim the jackpot effect is useful are usually from animal trainers who will swear that jackpots help keep their subjects motivated.
From my perspective, it’s difficult to measure out what a “jackpot” is. Some animals won’t care about the volume of the reward they’re getting, while others will care a whole lot – meaning some animals won’t really notice a difference between a regular reward and a jackpot, or they’ll receive a jackpot and not care. This makes scientific measurement extremely difficult because you have to figure out what counts as a jackpot to your subject.
One particular study caught my eye about what the jackpot effect could be doing. It points out that pigeons who were signaled about when a jackpot was active would be more willing to peck a button for food. This study even increased the cost of getting jackpots by increasing the number of pecks required on average and found that the pigeons were always willing to try and get the jackpot as long as there was even the slightest chance of it. The study then reversed the signalling, and instead signalled when the chances of getting a jackpot were much lower, and noticed that the pigeons would only peck for a jackpot when there was a chance.
This study intrigues me because it shows that most animals are aware of what a jackpot is, and, despite being unsure when they were going to receive the jackpot, would still continue to put in the effort as long as they eventually got the jackpot. In my mind, this study at least provides evidence that the potential for a jackpot is enough to elicit repeated behaviors from a subject.
For people who are hoping to use these concepts in their day-to-day training, this study shows that the Jackpot effect can work. I’d love to test and see if signalling that a jackpot could happen will keep our animals more interested in training for longer. In that sense, I would hope our pets would act like the pigeons in the study and give us more behaviors in exchange for a chance at their figurative jackpot of treats.
Dog Example
I have a soft spot for sad and lonely dogs. Every dog should feel like they belong somewhere.
Disclaimer: Before I start this story, I do not recommend doing exactly what I did with this dog. I’m just sharing a story of what I did and why I think it worked. If you are trying to be friends with an abused dog, please consult someone who has either worked with the dog before or has more experience than you in training animals. My approach was supervised by a more seasoned volunteer and I had also consulted other trainers about the behavior of this specific animal before I interacted with her. Alright, now on to the story.
When I was working in the shelter, there was yet another Akita I loved to bits named Elkie. She was extremely shy. Most dogs, when you go into their kennel, are excited just to get out. Elkie, however, would cower into the opposite corner from you. I would find out later, this is because Elkie was rescued from an abusive home that would coop her up in a room and then beat her if she ever acted the way a dog normally would, like bark at things or jump on people.
My approach with Elkie was to open the door and just sit at the opposite side of her. This way, she could approach me whenever she wanted and, since I was sitting down and making myself look as small as possible, I was very little threat to her. I made completely sure not to ever look at her, since this could be taken the wrong way by nervous dogs.
Luckily, despite everything that had happened to her, Elkie’s previous owners couldn’t beat the curiosity out of her. After I sat in her kennel for almost an hour, Elkie got curious and would nervously approach me. From the gray patch of the floor I was staring at, I could at least hear the soft pitter-patter of Elkie’s nervous paws against the cement every time she took a step closer to me. Each time Elkie would approach me, I would toss a treat her way. After that, I would toss another treat whenever she got closer than her previous attempt.
When her nose finally touched my pouch of treats, I gave her a jackpot – her reward for reaching the strange human huddled in the corner of her temporary home. From that point on, she would zip straight to my pouch and touch it with her nose as many times as possible. While I think shaping and patience did most of the heavy lifting for this exercise, I also believe the jackpot helped ease some of the tension between Elkie and myself. Her renewed enthusiasm also allowed me to start getting her used to human hands again. I put a treat in my hand and just let her eat from it, and other times I would put my hand in front of her and let her just touch it. I believe this would have been possible without the jackpot, but the jackpot in this scenario made her more willing to let me try these exercises with her.
The jackpot effect occurs when you give your subject a huge reinforcer. While the exact size of a jackpot is hard to determine, I usually go with enough to shock my subject. Ideally, this encourages your subject to be more motivated with you as training progresses.
Keep in mind, the jackpot effect is not proven in science yet. In fact, some studies will even say that the jackpot effect does not exist. However, I personally think the additional encouragement through a jackpot or a high quality treat may be useful to know for your pet.
In the case of Elkie the Akita, I used the jackpot effect to help motivate her and help her feel more at ease around me.

San Pedro De Atacama Tours & Travel
For travelers interested in venturing to South America, a tour that allows them to check out multiple destinations might be the way to go. Some examples include San Pedro de Atacama tours that later go to the Inca Trail in Machupicchu or to the Santiago vineyards. Atacama travel is becoming more and more common as tourists are talking about their great experiences and encouraging other travelers to go to South America. It can be really difficult to narrow down the choices when it comes to taking a trip to South America. There are so many great options including Ecuador, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Brazil, Argentina and the list goes on. When someone decides that they want to take a trip to South America and perhaps partake in San Pedro de Atacama tours they need to decide how much time and money they are willing and able to spend. Travelers that have a lack of either of these things might want to put off their Atacama travel for a time that they have more access to time and money. The plane ticket alone is quite expensive and it is important to have a sufficient amount of funds to cover food, lodging, adventures, souvenirs, and in-country transportation.
Travelers can save money on food and lodging by staying in a hostel that involves sharing a room. They can ensure that the hostel will provide them access to a kitchen with a stove for cooking and a refrigerator to store their food. Without the cost of three restaurant meals a day, travelers can save a good amount of money throughout their trip. The amount of money one needs to buy souvenirs varies. It is important to have a clear idea of whom the traveler wants to buy for. Otherwise they will go on a spending spree, as they are overzealous due to their new surroundings. Travelers can get caught up using the excuse that, �they will only be in this location once�. Since they do not have plans to go on more San Pedro de Atacama tours in the future, it seems like they need to buy anything that they may wish they had. Making a list before starting the Atacama travel can ensure that they do not overspend on silly things that nobody really ever ends up using. That being said, bringing home a remembrance from the trip is worth it, it is just important not to go �overboard� on gifts for the entire family and neighborhood. Money spent on adventures during travel in South America also varies depending on the quality, frequency and nature of the specific activities. It is possible to have many adventures for free along the way as well. Travelers should have a budget for adventures and do a little bit of research in advance. It is important to buy tickets and book adventures with a reputable source, as many street scams occur in Latin America. Paying in cash to a company that you are not so sure about is likely to lead to a big financial loss. The best type of Atacama travel involves a trip that is well researched and planned for. Components such as food, lodging, adventures, souvenirs, and in-country transportation should all be accounted for.

Aquila clanga
Aquila clanga, Greater Spotted Eagle, Rajawali Totol
The Greater SAquila clanga, Greater Spotted Eagle, Rajawali Totolpotted Eagle (Aquila clanga), occasionally just called the “spotted eagle”, is a large bird of prey. Like all typical eagles, it belongs to the family Accipitridae. The typical eagles are often united with the buteos (Buteo), sea eagles (Haliaetus) and other more heaviset Accipitridae, but it appears as if they are less distinct from the more slender accipitrine hawks than believed.
It is about 65 cm in length and has a wingspan of 160 cm. This medium-large eagle is very similar in general appearance to its closest relative the Lesser Spotted Eagle (A. pomarina), which shares part of its range. Head and wing coverts are very dark brown and contrast with the generally medium brown plumage; the Lesser Spotted Eagle has a paler head and wing coverts. The head is small for an eagle. The similarites of the Greater Spotted to the Lesser Spotted often results in misidentification as being that species. This is further complicated by occasional hybrids between the two species[1].
There is often a less obvious white patch on the upperwings, but a light crescent on the primary remiges is a good field mark. The white V mark on the rump is less clear-cut in adults than in the Lesser Spotted Eagle. The juvenile has white spots all over its wings and lacks a lighter nape patch.
The call is a dog-like yip.
In winter, it occurs in the range of the Indian Spotted Eagle (A. hastata). From this recently-validated relative, it can be distinguished by the darker color and lighter eye (not darker than the body plumage at distance, lighter at close range), and in juveniles, the strong spotting. It is also a bit larger ? though this cannot be reliably estimated in the field ? and in the winter quarters prefers wetland habitat.
Systematics, taxonomy and evolution
The Lesser Spotted Eagle (A. pomarina) is this species’ closest living relative; their common ancestor seems to have diverged around the middle Pliocene, perhaps some 3.6 million years ago (mya)[2], from the ancestors of the Indian Spotted Eagle (A. hastata) that lives across Iran, Pakistan and India. The “proto-Spotted Eagle” probably lived in the general region of Afghanistan, being split into a northern and a southern lineage when both glaciers and deserts advanced in Central Asia as the last ice age began. The northern lineage subsequently separated into the eastern (Greater) and western (Lesser) species of today, probably around the Pliocene-Pleistocene boundary not quite 2 mya.
The spotted eagles as a group are quite distinct from the typical members of Aquila, the “true eagles”. They will probably be included with their putative tropical relatives in Lophaetus or Ictinaetus, or moved to a genus of their own in the near future.
[edit] Distribution, ecology and status
This is a species of fairly wooded country, which hunts small mammals and similar, mainly terrestrial prey. It breeds from northern Europe across Asia, and winters in southeastern Europe, the Middle East and South Asia. Migration to breeding grounds takes place fairly late; in Bhutan for example birds can be seen with some regularity until the end of March. This eagle lays 1-3 eggs in a tree nest.
Generally territorial, juveniles spend some time with their parents after fledging, until they reach sexual maturity and seek out a territory and a mate of theirAquila-clanga own. In winter quarters, the species is more social. Small flocks of up to ten birds or so, of varying age, can be seen to patrol the land together. They also associate with other Accipitridae in winter quarters, like local and/or migrant Black Kites (Milvus migrans lineatus and govinda) or Steppe Eagles (A. nipalensis), distinctly smaller and larger raptors, respectively.
This species is prone to vagrancy. Its regular breeding range does not reach to Germany anymore these days, but still they are not rarely met with in that country, with a few birds seen every decade. Even young birds disperse widely; the Staatliches Museum f?rkunde Dresden has a specimen (C 21845) shot in November 1914 at Gro?rabe near Bernsdorf in Saxony. It is a juvenile, and though its exact age cannot be determined it is heavily spotted and probably less than 20 months old.
An adult Greater Spotted was tagged with a satellite transponder in 1993 in order to track migration. The tagged eagle migrated a total of 5,526 kilometers (3,434 miles) from its wintering grounds in Yemen to it breeding grounds in western Siberia. It moved 150 km (94 miles) on average each day, but this increased to 280 km (175 mi) per day as the bird flew through Mesopotamia.
It is classified as Vulnerable to extinction by the IUCN. As of 2000, the world population of this eagle was estimated at less than 4,000 breeding pairs. The primary threats are habit degradation and habitat loss, as well as human disturbance during the mating season.

Konpira Maru - 2020 Disco Pocket
"This wine was inspired by the man of the people Ben "Bantsy" Loughman. He's a very very handsome man with impeccable music tastes and harder buns than a gluten-free bakery. Talking of handsome, in 2020 this wine is a sort of origin story for Konpira Maru's own Sam Cook. We have combined the Riesling from the Aradale Vineyard in Ararat (the vineyard where Sam made his first commercial wine) and Vermentino from the Chalmers Family's Merbein Vineyard, the site where we made our first Konpira wine. It's 80% Riesling and 20% Vermentino. Both the Vermentino and Riesling spent 12 hours in the press then pressed to tank (in different parts of Victoria). Then blended together and fermented together. 3121 bottles made.
A Hubba Bubba nose with a summer citrus palate of lemon and passionfruit more lemon tart than the 2019." – Konpira Maru
Variety Riesling, Vermentino || Region Heathcote & Ararat, VIC || ABV 13.1% || Vol 750ml

Thursday, November 7, 2019
I've decided neither of my more cherished holidays will be spent with family If family wants to bicker and fight, let them, I'm just going to come in between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I won't see either of my brothers and that works for me. I asked my manager if I can have Christmas off this year - citing the fact that I spent last Christmas in Defiance, Ohio, where nothing but a few hotels were open, including anywhere to get anything to eat in freezing temperatures. She said OK. Cool and then asked about getting off sometime next month - Ok.
So that's my quest this morning - since I'm off for a 4th day in a row - to find whatever the cheapest airfare is from here to there. Likely not going to go the Dallas route, when you factor in gas to drive there and back and high cost of parking, there isn't much savings over just leaving from two towns over here where parking is free and relatively short drive. So far the $350 to $380 range is what I'm finding. Mother has already promised me the use of one of her vehicles basically saying she wants me to stay with her the time I'm there. All well and fine, but I have an agenda that I didn't get done last time that I definitely want to this time.
The trip will intentionally contain an entire weekend so I can visit with some friends that are only available during that time, which I wasn't able to visit last trip, almost a year ago. I never gave up on an overseas trip, I just put it on hold, btw, cause' I bought that boat. And after my solo trip around the lake 2 days ago, I can safely say that I'm not having any buyer's remorse. It's still at the mechanic, more bugs to work out, hopefully we get that resolved soon. There is a leak, neither of us can find it. He filled the entire hull up with water after I left it there and said nothing was coming out anywhere. Water's going in but not coming back out? Weird. He said he was going to hoist the boat off of the trailer to see if there is perhaps an opening where the boat sits on those carpet covered slats.
As for the missing brownsville trip on my previous pay? If I hadn't tracked down the problem, I would have never gotten paid that money. $1,261.93 of money that would have just poof - disappeared. They flat out paid the wrong driver for my trip. I was certain of it after I saw the settlement sheet. It had my detention pay, it had my breakdown pay in Harlingen for the trailer that came up from mexico that had been placed out of service, it listed my layover - 10 hour break - in Combes, TExas where I had decided to spend the night (not far from the facility where the trailer was repaired) it allllll matched up including the trip number. It's a farce that I have to keep track of every single, payable movement I do with the company, but if I don't do it, I get screwed over. This has been going on since I started at the company, yes, but it got worse after we merged to the giant corporation.
Stuff pisses me off, really. Why can't these people get their shit together? Why do drivers have to do their own investigations to find out what's happening to pay? Why are they missing ENTIRE runs - which has happened several times in the past - or now, mixing my pay up with someone else? And omitting entire sums of detention pay. I call that pure and utter incompetence. Ugh. This stuff really gets me fired up. I've spent 2 days on this now, it's just disconcerting that if I hadn't of found this, not only would I have gotten shafted for that pay, another driver would have gotten away with taking it from me! Not that the other driver had anything to do with this, but he should have realized that he had received far more pay than he should have on the last paycheck. I'm expecting that this money is added to my pay this week. And now, this week's pay looks short as well. The pay is on one web site, the settlement sheets are sent via email. Those sheets have not been sent yet - the get sent to me sometime today, I'll be researching that immediately.
So what are they going to do with this other driver who got my pay? I'll tell ya: they'll take it out of his next paycheck. Which will probably piss the other driver off, but that's the breaks. You shouldn't expect to keep pay that you didn't earn, I know I wouldn't.
Soooo tempting. Southwest airlines has round trip airfare for $200! For the dates I want! But it means driving to dallas. Now that is savings I would consider driving to dallas for. Prepurchase cheaper parking - namely at a local hotel that has paid parking for the airport even if you don't stay at the hotel and has a free shuttle to the airport. 2 checked bags free. American has no checked bags free and is rather pricey on their checked bags, I think the first one is $25 - each way. So that's $50 saved plus $150 minimum saved on the flight, that's $200 savings and then remove from that savings fuel to the airport and the parking fees. Further tempting the deal, it has departure times for both flights that I am very much in love with. Not red eye flights, either. I pretty much resolved a long time ago I wouldn't do any more red eyes unless the deal was just too great to pass up or some sort of emergency that I needed to fly out for.
I'm going to sit here and look for more deals, tho. I'd far prefer not to drive to Dallas Loves Field or DFW, which is even further away.
Unfortunately for the other driver, I just received word: My missing pay will be added to tomorrow's paycheck and his paycheck will have that entire amount deducted from it.
Uggh. A trip to Walmart today. I'm completely out of dog food and it's the only place with the large bags of Iams around here and at reasonable prices. Really do NOT like going to Walmart!
Well it's almost 3 pm and I haven't heard from the manager about a run for tomorrow, so I'm going to assume that it isn't go...

Is China doing anything to green up their manufacturing industry?
1. 0 Votes
China is currently known for their gross environmental abuses in their ever growing manufacturing industry, but China has also been know in the last ten or twenty years for their ability to jump at new technology and grow it at speeds unmatched by the rest f the world. China is being recognized as sitting at the edge of the next industrial revolution, the “green revolution”. China in 2010 will overtake the US and become the largest market for wind turbines. Chinese manufacturers are making one third of all the solar cells in the world, six times more that US factories. A Chinese company is also launching the first mass produced electric car of the 21st century, and the new “clean coal” power stations that US power companies are using and advertising are coming from China. China is not likely to be left behind in the new green industry generation. Read this article from the Christian Science Monitor for more.

In the case of the monarch ceding royal authority, the required act is a law. An additional complication which the government wanted to avoid, was that Irene's husband, Prince Carlos-Hugo of Bourbon-Parma whom she later divorced , was a member of a deposed Italian dynasty who claimed rights to the Spanish throne. The Netherlands established absolute cognatic primogeniture instead of male preference primogeniture by law in This changed drastically over the following years as William I's policies alienated the Southern Netherlands, drew the country into civil war and established industries that favored the rich Protestants and not the general populace. As noted earlier, the spouses of the monarch and the heir-apparent are forbidden from holding paying jobs or government responsibilities. The royal decree to appoint a minister, however, is countersigned by two responsible ministers rather than one: As in Britain, the Dutch royals are expected to express no political opinions and to sign whatever parliament puts in front of them, and generally they do.

Rebel Yell
The Violence, Passion, and Redemption of Stonewall Jackson
Rebel Yell
Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, the epic New York Times bestselling account of how Civil War general Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson became a great and tragic national hero.
Stonewall Jackson has long been a figure of legend and romance. As much as any person in the Confederate pantheon—even Robert E. Lee—he embodies the romantic Southern notion of the virtuous lost cause. Jackson is also considered, without argument, one of our country’s greatest military figures. In April 1862, however, he was merely another Confederate general in an army fighting what seemed to be a losing cause. But by June he had engineered perhaps the greatest military campaign in American history and was one of the most famous men in the Western world. Jackson’s strategic innovations shattered the conventional wisdom of how war was waged; he was so far ahead of his time that his techniques would be studied generations into the future.
In his “magnificent Rebel Yell…S.C. Gwynne brings Jackson ferociously to life” (New York Newsday) in a swiftly vivid narrative that is rich with battle lore, biographical detail, and intense conflict among historical figures. Gwynne delves deep into Jackson’s private life and traces Jackson’s brilliant twenty-four-month career in the Civil War, the period that encompasses his rise from obscurity to fame and legend; his stunning effect on the course of the war itself; and his tragic death, which caused both North and South to grieve the loss of a remarkable American hero.

Questions for Discussion
1. Why does S.C. Gwynne consider Stonewall Jackson one of the most compelling characters of the Civil War
2. How did Jackson, an unpopular and highly eccentric college physics professor, become (in the space of fourteen months) the most famous military figure in the western world?
3. Why do you think Gwynne chose the title Rebel Yell
4. Jackson’s Valley Campaign shows how often victory or defeat hangs on the thread of chance. How did small decisions greatly impact the outcome?
5. Gwynne is not afraid to show the different sides of Jackson—a contradictory figure, a man who rode his troops almost as hard as his horse, Little Sorrel, and was responsible for the deaths of thousands of soldiers, but was in his private moments a loving husband and devoted Christian. Discuss Gwynne’s portrayal of the contradictions within his character.
6. How do Jackson’s personal views on slavery relate to his actions as a general?
7. Stonewall Jackson’s war-making strategies have merited generations of study. What in his strategies and leadership is significant today?
8. A review of Rebel Yell noted that “praying soldiers were often socially shunned and professionally unrewarded.” How did Jackson’s religious convictions imbue his leadership? How did his faith differentiate him?

It's 25 years since women joined The Magic Circle
Video: The Magic Circle is celebrating 25 years since women joined as members. The British organisation was exclusively male until 1991 and even today female magicians still only account for around 5% of the members. So have women managed to shake the stereotype of being the glamorous magician's assistant? Sky's Katie Spencer reports.

Al-Khwarizmi Was a Pioneer in Algebra, Astronomy, and Math

Al-Khwarizmi was also known as Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi. He was known for writing major works on astronomy and mathematics that introduced Hindu-Arabic numerals and the idea of algebra to European scholars. The Latinized version of his name gave us the term "algorithm," and the title of his most famous and important work gave us the word "algebra."
What Professions Did Al-Khwarizami Have?
Writer, scientist, astronomer, geographer, and mathematician.
Places of Residence
Asia, Arabia
Important Dates
Born: c. 786
Died: c. 850
About Al-Khwarizmi
Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi was born in Baghdad in the 780s, around the time Harun al-Rashid became the fifth Abbasid caliph. Harun's son and successor, al-Mamun, founded an academy of science known as the "House of Wisdom" (Dar al-Hikma). Here, research was conducted and scientific and philosophic treatises were translated, particularly Greek works from the Eastern Roman Empire. Al-Khwarizmi became a scholar at the House of Wisdom.
At this important center of learning, al-Khwarizmi studied algebra, geometry, and astronomy. He wrote influential texts on the subjects. He appears to have received the specific patronage of al-Mamun, to whom he dedicated two of his books: his treatise on algebra and his treatise on astronomy. Al-Khwarizmi's treatise on algebra, al-Kitab al-mukhtasar fi hisab al-jabr waʾl-muqabala (“The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing”), was his most important and well-known work. Elements of Greek, Hebrew, and Hindu works that were derived from Babylonian mathematics of more than 2,000 years earlier were incorporated into al-Khwarizmi's treatise. The term "al-jabr" in its title brought the word "algebra" into western use when it was translated into Latin several centuries later.
Although it sets forth the basic rules of algebra, Hisab al-jabr w'al-muqabala had a practical objective: to teach. As al-Khwarizmi put it:
Hisab al-jabr w'al-muqabala included examples as well as algebraic rules in order to help the reader with these practical applications.
Al-Khwarizmi also produced a work on Hindu numerals. These symbols, which we recognize as the "Arabic" numerals used in the west today, originated in India and had only recently been introduced into Arabic mathematics. Al-Khwarizmi's treatise describes the place-value system of numerals from 0 to 9 and may be the first known use of a symbol for zero as a place-holder (a blank space had been used in some methods of calculation). The treatise provides methods for arithmetical calculation, and it is believed that a procedure for finding square roots was included. Unfortunately, the original Arabic text is lost. A Latin translation exists, and though it is thought to be considerably changed from the original, it did make an important addition to western mathematical knowledge. From the word "Algoritmi" in its title, Algoritmi de numero Indorum (in English, "Al-Khwarizmi on the Hindu Art of Reckoning"), the term "algorithm" came into western usage.
In addition to his works in mathematics, al-Khwarizmi made important strides in geography. He helped create a world map for al-Mamun and took part in a project to find the Earth's circumference, in which he measured the length of a degree of a meridian in the plain of Sinjar. His book Kitab surat al-arḍ (literally "The Image of the Earth," translated as Geography), was based on the geography of Ptolemy and provided the coordinates of approximately 2,400 sites in the known world, including cities, islands, rivers, seas, mountains, and general geographical regions. Al-Khwarizmi improved on Ptolemy with more accurate values for sites in Africa and Asia, and for the length of the Mediterranean Sea.
Al-Khwarizmi wrote yet another work that made it into the western canon of mathematical studies: a compilation of astronomical tables. This included a table of sines, and either its original or an Andalusian revision was translated into Latin. He also produced two treatises on the astrolabe, one on the sundial and one on the Jewish calendar, and wrote a political history that included the horoscopes of prominent people.
The precise date of al-Khwarizmi's death is unknown.

Bipolar Disorder Has Genetic Links to Autism
Page View：
A new study suggests there may be an overlap between rare genetic variations linked to bipolar disorder (BD) and those implicated in schizophrenia and autism.
Research from scientists at the University of Iowa (UI) Carver College of Medicine, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and other institutions suggests that there may be genetic susceptibility across major psychiatric disorders—this being the first study to suggest a genetic overlap between bipolar disorder and autism.
Research into BDs is critical due to its high prevalence—affecting between 1% and 3% of the population—and debilitating nature. Although many patients are helped by treatments such as lithium, about one-third of people affected by BD are intractable to current therapies. Although it’s long been known that BD is highly heritable, identifying specific genetic variants that contribute to the illness has proven difficult.
Genomic studies in the past decade have helped uncover several so-called common variations, but none of these variations alone has shown a large effect. However, massively parallel sequencing technology has now provided investigators an opportunity to find rare variations that might individually have a large effect.
“Common variations are thought to each individually have only a tiny impact—for example, increasing a person’s likelihood of getting a disease by 10–20%,” explained senior study author James Potash, M.D., professor and head of the department of psychiatry at UI. “The hope with rare variations is that they individually have a much bigger impact, like doubling or quadrupling risk for disease.”
For this study, the scientists devised a two-tiered strategy, combining a case–control approach with family-based exome sequencing to maximize their chances of identifying rare variants that contribute to BD. Their thinking was that if a genetic variant is found more often in the group of individuals who have the disease compared to a control group of people without the condition, then the gene variation might be associated with increasing susceptibility to the disease.
Moreover, comparing exome sequences of related individuals affected and unaffected by BD can distinguish variants that “travel with” or segregate with the disease. This approach has long been used to identify gene variants or mutations that are passed from parents to children that cause disease.
The findings from this study were published recently in JAMA Psychiatry in an article entitled “Exome Sequencing of Familial Bipolar Disorder.”
The researchers were able to identify, from the family study, 84 rare variants (in 82 genes) that segregated with BD and that were also predicted to be damaging to the proteins encoded by those genes. Subsequently, the research team tested the likelihood that these rare variations might be involved in causing BD by looking for them in three large case–control datasets that included genome sequences from a total of 3541 individuals with BD and 4774 control patients.
Interestingly, despite the large size of the combined datasets, the approach was not powerful enough to identify any of the individual rare variants as definitively associated with BD. However, 19 genes stood out as being overrepresented in BD cases compared to controls.
“The results were not strong enough for us to say ‘we have pinpointed the genetic culprits.’ But it was strong enough for us to remain interested in these genes as potential contributors to bipolar disorder,” noted Dr. Potash.
Yet, when the team considered the 19 genes as a group, they surmised that several were also members of groups of genes that had been implicated in autism and schizophrenia.
“It turned out that the schizophrenia and the autism genes were all more represented among our 82 genes than you would expect by chance,” Dr. Potash remarked. “And when we looked at our whittled down group of 19 genes, the autism genes continued to be unexpectedly prominent among them.
“With studies like this we are finally, after decades of effort, making real progress in nailing down groups of genes and variations in them that play a role in causing bipolar disorder,” Dr. Potash added. “The mechanistic insights we gain from identifying associated genes we hope will point us in the direction of developing new treatments to make a difference for the many people affected by this illness.

I love this. Great, great addition to Tableau.
Not having Tableau Server as an option is a massive miss. Understandably it's probably difficult to implement but could always restrict it to data sources based on extracts which would presumably make it much easier to handle.
I agree. The inability to join to and between published data sources is disappointing. I hope there are plans to support this in the near future.
I tried the cross join of Cisco Composite Sever and Sybase ASE and I get the following error, even though each of my data separately works.
Tableau Data Engine Error: 40430: The system cannot find the file specified. - IPC_NamedPipe::Connect(WaitNamedPipe)
Hi Gabriel, would you mind moving this conversation to the Tableau Forums? You can mention me with "rhau" and I can try to help you figure out your issue.
Hi, I tried to cross 3 data sources (one from MySQL and two from SAP HANA). I had no problem when I crossed two, but when I added the third one I got an 'unexpected error'.
Am I doing something wrong?
Hi, I need to do a cross database UNION. Is this possible? Both my data sources are SQL Server, but are on different servers without a linked server to do the UNION via custom SQL. Thanks
Hi Kylie, v10 doesn't support cross database union, but it's on the road map.
I've seen that Google Analytics is currently not supported. Do you plan to add the cross-database funcionality for GA in the future?
I would like to join 2 SQL connections. My primary connection has unique rows per order while the other connection has itemised details and multiple rows per order. Is it possible to create a join and only return calculations from my itemised connection into my primary connection?
Hey Stephen,
This question might be better suited to the forums. If you open a thread an mention me with "rhau", it should notify me and we can discuss your specific use case in more detail there.
Hi - I'm trying to follow along with new user training videos but my left menu doesn't actually have a "Connections" heading (just Workbook and Sheets). Is there a new way to merge data sets (just excel and csv) in 10 that's not reflected in the training videos? Thanks.
Hi Cecilia,
For Excel and Text, you should see "Add" next to the connections heading. Could you double check and make sure you're on at least version 10.0?
I can send snapshots and help further if you open a thread in the forums and mention me at "rhau".
if I have one data source as an Extract and one which is live can we join both these data sources using cross database joins to create a combined view in my visualisation?
I have a business needs to integrate two sources of data in one reporting, one from SQL and one from excel.
Both SQL and excel will have one column of unique key that will be used to connect/match the two data.
Is this possible in Tableau?
Thank you.
I have a similar question and am curious to know the answer.
So I tried to do a join from an SQL server and Oracle based server. The column is unique but the oracle base has a ANS1/MBCS Character String while the SQL based has a Unicode Character String. How can I join both columns together? Where can I implement the calculated field?

Moving from ~/.cedit to ~/.mc
I suggest that MC doesn't use the ".cedit" directory and uses ".mc" for
the files that it currently looks for in ".cedit". The main reason is
that the "Syntax" file conflicts with Cooledit.
The versioning of the Syntax file is very primitive in Cooledit and MC -
.cedit/Syntax begins with "# syntax rules version NN", and it's replaced
if a newer version is embedded in the code. Current Cooledit 3.17.4 would
overwrite the Syntax file of MC-4.5.55. This is wrong because they are
using different directories with *.syntax files.
It is reasonable to expect that some users will be running both MC and
Cooledit. It would be nice to share some files between them, but the
development of MC and Cooledit has diverged too much and it's not
realistic to keep them in-sync and use the same files.
Moving all stuff to .mc would free us from the need to keep MC compatible
with Cooledit. A better versioning system for the local files could be
introduced. "Syntax" would not need to be embedded into the code - it
would be a normal file installed into ${prefix}/lib/mc/
Any comments?

Hometown Cha- Cha- Cha: A bouquet of wholesome romance for K-drama fans
Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha warmed hearts around the world with its exquisite synergy between its leads and offered a basket of healing tales along with the heartwarming community of Gongjin.
There are dazzling blue skies, breathtaking sunsets, an endless stock of fresh seafood, and a picturesque red lighthouse in the background.
Yoon Hye-Jin, the female lead in the K-drama, is mocked by a friend for always talking about Gongjin as if all paths lead to it. One just can't help but sympathise with her. The coastal town and its wholesome citizens truly deserve such an attachment.
The series commences on a simple note with city slicker Hye-Jin (Shin Min-a) opening a dental clinic in Gongjin and sparks flare when she stumbles upon a local jack-of-all-trades Hong Du-Sik (Kim Seon-Ho).
Even though it appears to be a classic story of opposites clashing at first, it's remarkable how Hometown strives to go beyond the run-of-the-mill romantic comedy by delving into grief, remorse, loss and healing.
It appears to be a classic story of opposites clashing at first. Ye-Jin is perplexed as to how Du-Sik works a variety of odd jobs while insisting on simply receiving the minimum pay.
Du-sik believes she is capable of letting her hair down and stopping to smell the roses on occasion.
The other Gongjin inhabitants are also put into the equation. They were wry yet approachable to Hye-Jin. The show devoted its first episodes to how they warm up with each other.
There’s a curious restaurant owner who is the town's biggest gossip-- a former singer who continuously reminisces about his old days, the arguing couple expecting a second kid, a shy officer whom Hye-Jin’s friend falls for and three wholesome octogenarian grannies who are always up for radiating warmth and love.
Kim Young-Ok, who plays Gam-ri, once again reflects why she is the best K-drama grandmother.
Having individuals in their 30s and 40s makes this series sane in confronting the featured relationship challenges. Du-Sik's past life is cloaked in mystery for the majority of the show and even when there is a significant breakthrough, the couple handles it.
Mutually healing together was a wonderful dynamic that enhanced this dimple couple's love story.
The realisation that viewers of all ages would be able to name everyone in Gongjin shows the balanced screentime.
On the other hand, it could have been done without several of the subplots, particularly the one featuring a divorced couple which is handled quite clumsily near the conclusion.
Ultimately, even as it seeks to bring more insight and depth into the challenges of its major characters, this enchanting Netflix series is a perfect illustration of how K-dramas can get romance right.
Bursting with an impeccable cast synergy, the 16-episode series invites the viewers to a virtual neighbourhood full of warmth and love.

In mathematics, one frequently starts with some space {X} and wishes to extend it to a larger space {Y}. Generally speaking, there are two ways in which one can extend a space {X}:
• By embedding {X} into a space {Y} that has {X} (or at least an isomorphic copy of {X}) as a subspace.
• By covering {X} by a space {Y} that has {X} (or an isomorphic copy thereof) as a quotient.
For many important categories of interest (such as abelian categories), the former type of extension can be represented by the exact sequence,
\displaystyle 0 \rightarrow X \rightarrow Y
and the latter type of extension be represented by the exact sequence
\displaystyle Y \rightarrow X \rightarrow 0.
In some cases, {X} can be both embedded in, and covered by, {Y}, in a consistent fashion; in such cases we sometimes say that the above exact sequences split.
An analogy would be to that of digital images. When a computer represents an image, it is limited both by the scope of the image (what it is picturing), and by the resolution of an image (how much physical space is represented by a given pixel). To make the image “larger”, one could either embed the image in an image of larger scope but equal resolution (e.g. embedding a picture of a {200 \times 200} pixel image of person’s face into a {800 \times 800} pixel image that covers a region of space that is four times larger in both dimensions, e.g. the person’s upper body) or cover the image with an image of higher resolution but of equal scope (e.g. enhancing a {200 \times 200} pixel picture of a face to a {800 \times 800} pixel of the same face). In the former case, the original image is a sub-image (or cropped image) of the extension, but in the latter case the original image is a quotient (or a pixelation) of the extension. In the former case, each pixel in the original image can be identified with a pixel in the extension, but not every pixel in the extension is covered. In the latter case, every pixel in the original image is covered by several pixels in the extension, but the pixel in the original image is not canonically identified with any particular pixel in the extension that covers it; it “loses its identity” by dispersing into higher resolution pixels.
(Note that “zooming in” the visual representation of an image by making each pixel occupy a larger region of the screen neither increases the scope or the resolution; in this language, a zoomed-in version of an image is merely an isomorphic copy of the original image; it carries the same amount of information as the original image, but has been represented in a new coordinate system which may make it easier to view, especially to the visually impaired.)
In the study of a given category of spaces (e.g. topological spaces, manifolds, groups, fields, etc.), embedding and coverings are both important; this is particularly true in the more topological areas of mathematics, such as manifold theory. But typically, the term extension is reserved for just one of these two operations. For instance, in the category of fields, coverings are quite trivial; if one covers a field {k} by a field {l}, the kernel of the covering map {\pi: l \rightarrow k} is necessarily trivial and so {k, l} are in fact isomorphic. So in field theory, a field extension refers to an embedding of a field, rather than a covering of a field. Similarly, in the theory of metric spaces, there are no non-trivial isometric coverings of a metric space, and so the only useful notion of an extension of a metric space is the one given by embedding the original space in the extension.
On the other hand, in group theory (and in group-like theories, such as the theory of dynamical systems, which studies group actions), the term “extension” is reserved for coverings, rather than for embeddings. I think one of the main reasons for this is that coverings of groups automatically generate a special type of embedding (a normal embedding), whereas most embeddings don’t generate coverings. More precisely, given a group extension {G} of a base group {H},
\displaystyle G \rightarrow H \rightarrow 0,
one can form the kernel {K = \hbox{ker}(\phi)} of the covering map {\pi: G \rightarrow H}, which is a normal subgroup of {G}, and we thus can extend the above sequence canonically to a short exact sequence
\displaystyle 0 \rightarrow K \rightarrow G \rightarrow H \rightarrow 0.
On the other hand, an embedding of {K} into {G},
\displaystyle 0 \rightarrow K \rightarrow G
does not similarly extend to a short exact sequence unless the the embedding is normal.
Another reason for the notion of extension varying between embeddings and coverings from subject to subject is that there are various natural duality operations (and more generally, contravariant functors) which turn embeddings into coverings and vice versa. For instance, an embedding of one vector space {V} into another {W} induces a covering of the dual space {V^*} by the dual space {W^*}, and conversely; similarly, an embedding of a locally compact abelian group {H} in another {G} induces a covering of the Pontryagin dual {\hat H} by the Pontryagin dual {\hat G}. In the language of images, embedding an image in an image of larger scope is largely equivalent to covering the Fourier transform of that image by a transform of higher resolution, and conversely; this is ultimately a manifestation of the basic fact that frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength.
Similarly, a common duality operation arises in many areas of mathematics by starting with a space {X} and then considering a space {C(X)} of functions on that space (e.g. continuous real-valued functions, if {X} was a topological space, or in more algebraic settings one could consider homomorphisms from {X} to some fixed space). Embedding {X} into {Y} then induces a covering of {C(X)} by {C(Y)}, and conversely, a covering of {X} by {Y} induces an embedding of {C(X)} into {C(Y)}. Returning again to the analogy with images, if one looks at the collection of all images of a fixed scope and resolution, rather than just a single image, then increasing the available resolution causes an embedding of the space of low-resolution images into the space of high-resolution images (since of course every low-resolution image is an example of a high-resolution image), whereas increasing the available scope causes a covering of the space of narrow-scope images by the space of wide-scope images (since every wide-scope image can be cropped into a narrow-scope image). Note in the case of images, that these extensions can be split: not only can a low-resolution image be viewed as a special case of a high-resolution image, but any high-resolution image can be pixelated into a low-resolution one. Similarly, not only can any wide-scope image be cropped into a narrow-scope one, a narrow-scope image can be extended to a wide-scope one simply by filling in all the new areas of scope with black (or by using more advanced image processing tools to create a more visually pleasing extension). (In the category of sets, the statement that every covering can be split is precisely the axiom of choice.)
I’ve recently found myself having to deal quite a bit with group extensions in my research, so I have decided to make some notes on the basic theory of such extensions here. This is utterly elementary material for a group theorist, but I found this task useful for organising my own thoughts on this topic, and also in pinning down some of the jargon in this field.

This week at UCLA, Pierre-Louis Lions gave one of this year’s Distinguished Lecture Series, on the topic of mean field games. These are a relatively novel class of systems of partial differential equations, that are used to understand the behaviour of multiple agents each individually trying to optimise their position in space and time, but with their preferences being partly determined by the choices of all the other agents, in the asymptotic limit when the number of agents goes to infinity. A good example here is that of traffic congestion: as a first approximation, each agent wishes to get from A to B in the shortest path possible, but the speed at which one can travel depends on the density of other agents in the area. A more light-hearted example is that of a Mexican wave (or audience wave), which can be modeled by a system of this type, in which each agent chooses to stand, sit, or be in an intermediate position based on his or her comfort level, and also on the position of nearby agents.
Under some assumptions, mean field games can be expressed as a coupled system of two equations, a Fokker-Planck type equation evolving forward in time that governs the evolution of the density function {m} of the agents, and a Hamilton-Jacobi (or Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman) type equation evolving backward in time that governs the computation of the optimal path for each agent. The combination of both forward propagation and backward propagation in time creates some unusual “elliptic” phenomena in the time variable that is not seen in more conventional evolution equations. For instance, for Mexican waves, this model predicts that such waves only form for stadiums exceeding a certain minimum size (and this phenomenon has apparently been confirmed experimentally!).
Due to lack of time and preparation, I was not able to transcribe Lions’ lectures in full detail; but I thought I would describe here a heuristic derivation of the mean field game equations, and mention some of the results that Lions and his co-authors have been working on. (Video of a related series of lectures (in French) by Lions on this topic at the Collége de France is available here.)
To avoid (rather important) technical issues, I will work at a heuristic level only, ignoring issues of smoothness, convergence, existence and uniqueness, etc.

Suppose we have a large number of scalar random variables {X_1,\ldots,X_n}, which each have bounded size on average (e.g. their mean and variance could be {O(1)}). What can one then say about their sum {S_n := X_1+\ldots+X_n}? If each individual summand {X_i} varies in an interval of size {O(1)}, then their sum of course varies in an interval of size {O(n)}. However, a remarkable phenomenon, known as concentration of measure, asserts that assuming a sufficient amount of independence between the component variables {X_1,\ldots,X_n}, this sum sharply concentrates in a much narrower range, typically in an interval of size {O(\sqrt{n})}. This phenomenon is quantified by a variety of large deviation inequalities that give upper bounds (often exponential in nature) on the probability that such a combined random variable deviates significantly from its mean. The same phenomenon applies not only to linear expressions such as {S_n = X_1+\ldots+X_n}, but more generally to nonlinear combinations {F(X_1,\ldots,X_n)} of such variables, provided that the nonlinear function {F} is sufficiently regular (in particular, if it is Lipschitz, either separately in each variable, or jointly in all variables).
The basic intuition here is that it is difficult for a large number of independent variables {X_1,\ldots,X_n} to “work together” to simultaneously pull a sum {X_1+\ldots+X_n} or a more general combination {F(X_1,\ldots,X_n)} too far away from its mean. Independence here is the key; concentration of measure results typically fail if the {X_i} are too highly correlated with each other.
There are many applications of the concentration of measure phenomenon, but we will focus on a specific application which is useful in the random matrix theory topics we will be studying, namely on controlling the behaviour of random {n}-dimensional vectors with independent components, and in particular on the distance between such random vectors and a given subspace.
Once one has a sufficient amount of independence, the concentration of measure tends to be sub-gaussian in nature; thus the probability that one is at least {\lambda} standard deviations from the mean tends to drop off like {C \exp(-c\lambda^2)} for some {C,c > 0}. In particular, one is {O( \log^{1/2} n )} standard deviations from the mean with high probability, and {O( \log^{1/2+\epsilon} n)} standard deviations from the mean with overwhelming probability. Indeed, concentration of measure is our primary tool for ensuring that various events hold with overwhelming probability (other moment methods can give high probability, but have difficulty ensuring overwhelming probability).
This is only a brief introduction to the concentration of measure phenomenon. A systematic study of this topic can be found in this book by Ledoux.

Nearly Fully Operational
The biggest things we’ve got left to do are:
• Figure out the events bug. For some reason the test server doesn’t always mark all events as cleared, and seems to have an issue with events generated on the most recent turn. This is something I’ll have to see when it happens though, because after the next turn, the problematic events clear as normal. I’d not say this is enough to stop us from moving, though it is irritating.
• Setup a sub-domain to host the maps on. So, both the map tiles for the game’s main map, and the maps in the libraries in-game are hosted off a second website. This should be pretty easy kill, and I’ll be adding functionality to see previously generated maps as well, though probably not through the game itself yet. This will go a long way towards having each server be independent, and, if the game grows down the line, having a secondary server that can swiftly assume all responsibilities of the main game server should it fails.
• Remove the unfinished BitPay functionality from the payment system.
What that means is that all other aspects of the game appear to be functioning as intended. Turns are running, movement is happening, buildings can be built, roads paved, etc. Even turn logging and game backups are happening as intended by the turn scripts.
None of the remaining things listed should be particularly difficult, except maybe generating the map-tiles, but I know from previous estimates that how I think things will go and how they actually do, can be different things.

Mystery machine
The Scooby Doo gang was pretty presumptuous to name their van The Mystery Machine.
I realize that they encountered an uncanny and irrational number of criminals trying to cover up crimes by using the ghost story and costume, but still, did they really expect it to continue week after week?
Who could assume that after encountering a fake Yeti on a ski trip and a two-million-year-old caveman while out fishing, similar encounters would happen again and again and again?
It seems fairly irrational.
For 41 episodes in the first iteration of the show and hundreds more thereafter.
Presumptuous, I say.
Also (and this might be nitpicking), but if you own a van, why the hell is everyone always sitting in the front seat?

Tips on Restoring Your Water Damaged Property
When it comes to water damage, it can be one of the most complex and difficult things to deal with for any type of property, especially your home. Most items can be repaired yourself using a vacuum cleaner and a fan.
However, for more water damage-related emergencies, you may need a professional to help you with this. Here are some tips on how to water damage clean-up.
* Remove as much water as possible from items such as furniture, floors, paper, photos, walls, doors and other equipment that have been damaged.
* Circuit breaker must be turned off immediately. Just to be in a safe place and make sure the house doesn't get electrocuted.
* Make sure all electrical outlets are dry and closed so they don't get wet when cleaning.
* Do not use electrical appliances in wet areas of the home or property. This could result in a person being electrocuted and seriously injured.
* Open all doors and windows to let the air start to dry the wet stuff. If objects are wet for a long time, they can break down even more and even begin to form mold and mildew.
* Try to remove your furniture from the room that has been damaged by water or dirt.
* Make sure all items are completely dry before restoring back. Leaving it still wet or damp can cause mold and mildew.

This is probably a dumb question, but when you don't know..(immune system)

Hi Ladies,
How can one tell if their immune system is weak? I know far too well how much stress weakens the immune system. My white cell count remained normal throughout most of my treatments. I'm on Avastin for maintenance now, and my white counts are still very good. I attended an event a couple of weeks ago in which afterwards, several friends became very sick with high fever, etc. So far, (knock on wood) I have not had that nasty virus.
What can we do to help boost our immune systems?
I know this is probably really showing my ignorance, but we all want to beat this beast for as long as possible!!

There are blood tests that are used to assess the immune system. I'm pretty sure you can measure your natual killer (NK) cells. I will need to check my lengthy list of blood tests. One effective way to boost your immune system is with high dose IV vitamin C. If that is not an options, I'd recommend taking 1,000 mg of liposomal or lipospheric vitamin C daily. There has been a lot of success with a product used extensively in Germany, and is available in the U.S., called Iscador. These are injections of mistletoe extract that stimulates your immune system to recognize the cancer. It is even specific to the type of cancer, as there are four or five differnt kinds of Iscador and each focuses on a few cancer types. This is something that you would have to get through a naturopath or integrative practitioner.

more thoughts on education
Having published on the zhongkao and with Hu Jintao’s visit to the US, my father and I have been discussing education. Here is an excerpt from the dialogue.
Dad: China is in the news as Hu Jintao bops around the states. Since China is our banker, he is being received with open arms. Send more money please Mr. Banker! The news has also been focusing on education, and naturally we (US) suck in comparison. We are now 17th in the world and falling. South East Asia is leading the pack and putting distance between themselves and the US. Due to failing state budgets, (we are in tough economic times), we will be laying off at least 25% of our teachers! Unlike the federal govt., states are required to balance their budgets. In Moore County this means 600 teachers. No school district in the state [North Carolina] is hiring. Who would have thunk?
MA: As for education, I’m not sure we can talk about ahead and behind when both systems reproduce conditions of inequality. Both systems need not only to produce underpaid workers, but also “acceptable” reasons to legitimate inequality. Clearly, the US system is getting really good at it; can’t do math go into service. China is also very good at it, when you keep in mind that they have five times our population; can’t pass the zhongkao go to a factory; can’t pass the gaokao be an underpaid clerk. Consequently, in China the cream that is rising is proportionately much, much smaller than in the US. So maybe what’s actually happening is that China is setting what Marx would have called “acceptable living wage” for the world. Importantly, the acceptable living wage in China is much lower than in the US, so our wages are shrinking because we need to lower our national acceptable living wage in order to compete globally. I think at Harvard business, the unsinkable call this “economic adjustment” and then go out for a Michelin starred meal.
Please join the conversation. How we educate is the expression of why we teach children; clearly, all of us everywhere need fresh inspiration.
2 thoughts on “more thoughts on education
1. Mark Mason, a philosopher of education now at HKIED, used to make a very good point in class: testing is not designed to pass students, it’s designed just as much to fail students. We need to be very conscientious in who we’re designating as the failures.
Having done some grading at HKU awhile ago and told to go soft on the freshmen I found myself enraged. These were the kids who’ve been tagged with all the social capital they needed to get ahead in Hong Kong society at the expense of a lot of other students who would have killed to get in – but went to the wrong kindergartens, so got into the wrong primary schools, and then the wrong middle schools. Though I find the US high school system detestable, I like the US tertiary system that gives far more students a chance to study and pursue academic interests. At the state school where I studied for my undergraduate degree the student population was 50% freshman. The school offered a lot of support for students who really wanted to get ahead but wasn’t in the business of needlessly handing out degrees to those who don’t deserve them. I can’t help but think China (and most of the world) might be a more equitable place if it gave more people a chance of passing AND failing in an environment where wealth and social capital have limits. How many Qinghua or BeiDa kids every have to worry about not graduating?
• Hi Trey,
I agree; I like the fact that the US tertiary system is relatively open and seems to offer more opportunities than other systems. The problem, of course, is getting there. In NC, which has one of the oldest and best public tertiary systems in the country (UNC oldest public university in the country), my brother taught at a middle school where students had to stay home because they had lice. And this wasn’t an isolated event. Moreover, lunch programs have been gutted, which means many poor kids aren’t learning even when they’re in school because they’re hungry and hungry kids think about food, not math or poetry.
As for pushing kids through at Hong Kong universities, despite questionable scholarship, my understanding is that this is part of the social contract throughout post-confucian Asia; get into unversity and society will take care of you. Certainly it’s the justification for the college entrance exam system. That said, Qinghua and Beida graduates are also “waiting for work” and Shenda graduates depend upon connections and red enevelops to get jobs and promotions. In other words, we are speaking of differences of degree, rather than kind in terms of how inequality is reproduced in China. And this is precisely why so many bright Chinese students want to study abroad. (1) They want to learn (not be pushed), but also and possibly more to the point (2) They want a degree that will be respected enough to make them competetive in a shrinking job market.

3 Inspiring Aspects Of Clean Eating
Clean eating was thought of as a fad in the 1960s, where people began to shun the processed food in favor of more natural and holistic ingredients. The past four of five years have seen a resurgence of this idea in response to an obesity crisis in the western world. People are now going out of their way to read the ingredients on the back of their convenience food products to check whether there are e-numbers, GM products, or ethically unsound ingredients. There are many health benefits to eating clean. If you want to give it a go, take a look at these three inspiring aspects that could fire you up to get started.
Wholly Natural
The most strict of clean eating advocates would demand that everything you consume is free from refinement and being processed. This means no candy bars, no loaves of sliced bread from highly industrialized processes, and no microwave meals. Processed foods are not wholly natural so they cannot be included in a clean eating plan. Instead, it’s best to select organic fruit and vegetables, sustainably reared lean meats and fish, and whole and unrefined grains. Using these core ingredients, you can then create meals at home which will be naturally lower in fat and sugars. By eating in this way, you will be less likely to suffer from food cravings and you will inevitably see the pounds drop off as your diet becomes more nutritious and healthier.
Drink Water
Staying hydrated is a crucial facet of eating clean. This doesn’t mean opting for the tap water. Consider the benefits of a water filter. These can be fitted into your refrigerator without the need for tools to reduce the level of contaminants in your drinking water. For people with autoimmune disorders or sensitive digestive systems, this can be crucial in helping them to live a normal life. Staying hydrated also keeps you feeling full for longer. Your skin will be more moisturized and you will have more energy. Many people don’t drink enough water every day because of their busy schedules. Make time to drink water and have a bottle on you at all times.
Advocates of clean eating utilize this concept as part of a wider lifestyle shift. Being sedentary can negate the positive outcomes of eating a cleaner diet. To stay active, you need to head outdoors at least once a day. Soaking up the rays from the sun will help you to absorb more Vitamin D which in turn helps your body absorb more calcium. Your body clock will be restored and you can enjoy moving around a little more.
Take a stroll to the park, go on a bike ride, or head out for a jog. Being outside and getting active will help keep your blood pressure low, lower your risk of heart disease, and help you to maintain a healthy weight. Alongside clean eating, staying active will ensure that you don’t suffer from sugar spikes or hunger pangs.
Clean eating was once just a fad and while the most extreme advocates detest all forms of processed foods, you can take some aspects of clean eating to apply to your current diet. You’ll have more energy, be more positive, and feel better for it.

The wizardry of Ozzy
America's newest sitcom star is not a converted stand-up comic or an actor.
He's a man who got famous by treating animals unethically, engaging in (and surviving) prodigious substance abuse and howling lyrics like, "He was turned to steel / In the great magnetic field / When he traveled time / For the future of mankind."
That's from "Iron Man," of course, the 1970 hit for Black Sabbath, the prototypical English satanic-imagery metal band fronted by Ozzy Osbourne.
The Oz in middle age (he's a very wizened 53) is -- though he still puts out music that's unlistenable to anyone not seething with inchoate feelings of rebellion -- a more cuddly sort of character, at least according to the evidence offered by popular response to MTV's improbable new reality success "The Osbournes."
This 13-week chronicle of six months in the life of doddering Ozzy, cunning-but-loving wife/manager Sharon, and brattish teenagers (and "True Hollywood Story" episodes-in-waiting) Kelly and Jack was MTV's highest-rated series debut ever, when it began life three Tuesdays ago.
The audience, pushed by heavy word-of-mouth buzz, has grown about 20 percent each week to the point where MTV is saying that last Tuesday at 9:30, the series had the highest ratings anywhere on TV among the cable music channel's target 12-to-34-year-old demographic.
The reasons, alas, may have less to do with the subtle choices that define this clever new fuel for the thought-to-be-tiring reality genre and more to do with the sheer Ozzyness of its star, the uncanny way this aged and waxy-looking genre icon seems to have internalized "This Is Spinal Tap" and all the darkest "Behind the Music" moments.
There are moments, watching "The Osbournes," when you swear Ozzy is doing his impression of Christopher Guest's empty-eyed and passed-over rock god from the fake documentary "Spinal Tap."
But the series, which grew out of a memorable visit with the family for an episode of MTV's addictive homes-of-the-musically-famous series "Cribs," is much more than a freak show or "Addams Family" update.
Homage to classic TV
What's really at work here is an ultrasmart attempt, through deft editing and a cast selected through clever use of genetics, to make this play like a satire on/homage to the classic television sitcom.
In one episode, the family endures a move, albeit including boxes labeled "linens" and "devils heads." In another, the family dogs are incontinent and Sharon, to Ozzy's dismay, hires a pet therapist. In the third, the daughter gets a tattoo.
The driving force is how easily Osbourne, as these family-sitcom plots swirl around him, steps into the slippers and cardigans of dozens of loving but ineffectual TV dads before him. In his at-home outfit of black track pants and T-shirts, he putters amiably and a little aimlessly around the family's new L.A.-area mansion, wrestling with the remote and fretting about his kids' nightly curfews and his own impotence as father.
"Why are you so sarcastic towards me," he asks one child in his mumbling dialect that, like a heavily Irish movie, becomes easier to understand over time.
"Don't drink, don't take drugs, son, please," he tells Jack before a night out, "and if you have sex, wear a condom."
Aw, dad.
Ozzy Osbourne, it turns out, is Robert Young and Robert Reed and Bill Bixby and Bill Cosby all tossed together, rolled in tattoos and given the mouth of a sailor, the diction of a sailor eating marbles, and the pallor of a sailor who's about to spill his lunch into Davy Jones' locker.
The grand joke of "The Osbournes" is that it is not that great a leap from Ozzie I (Nelson) to this mutant offspring Ozzy, despite the fact that the Osbourne family serves up variants on f--- (and gets bleeped) with the same frequency the Nelsons modeled respectable middle-class behaviors for their 1950s and '60s audience.
Indeed, ABC's "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet," although scripted in a way "The Osbournes" is not, also featured the real-life family of former bandleader Ozzie (including Nelson son Ricky, who himself developed into a rock star before the TV audience's eyes.)
In "The Osbournes," Jack and Kelly lack the verve of Ricky and David Nelson, but these slightly off-kilter and surprisingly nerdish slacker-teens have a way of mouthing lines that could have been airlifted from any of a score of family sitcoms.
"I don't have to answer every question about everything I do," Jack pronounces with teenage theatricality.
Later, he tells his mother, "You know why my dog is dysfunctional? Because it's like me -- it's angry at you."But as clever as this series manages to be in giving the raw material a coherent shape, it's impossible to escape the suspicion that the audience is responding less to the nimble references to television past than to the way the Osbourne family fits into more recent TV tradition, namely MTV's loser-aesthetic showpieces "Beavis & Butt-Head" and "Jackass."
Empathy for Ozzy
There can't help but be hints of sneering voyeurism in the presentation of so addled a man. Ozzy's shuffling about and seeming hollowness invite mockery.
But what pulls it back from the brink of nastiness -- and what any intelligent audience member will come away with, if he sticks with the show long enough -- is the series' empathy for Ozzy and family and the sly ways Osbourne reveals himself to be more than a caricature rock victim.
He obviously loves the family and his disarmingly ordinary role in it, and he'll occasionally burble out a knowing remark, like, when asking someone to speak up, "You have not been standing in front of 30 billion decibels for 35 years. Just write me a note."
"The Osbournes," in the end, pulls back the curtain on one of the culture's coveted roles. Want to know what it's really like to be a rock star, or even a rock star's kid? Well, the dogs soil the carpet, the family squabbles over the dinner table and the wife/mom runs the show.
The glue here, as in the Cosby TV family before her, is Sharon Osbourne. Ruling over this crucifix-laden roost, she has organized the successful Ozzfest metal concert series that, presumably more than Black Sabbath royalties, fuels the posh lifestyle. And she's the one with the managerial guile and show-biz smarts.
After an Ozzy appearance on "The Tonight Show" that the series chronicles, she tells him he's headed up in the pecking order: "Next time you'll come back and talk. You'll be a talking guest instead of a singing guest."
As one of the producers of "The Osbournes," whose success is making that prediction entirely likely, she should know.

Fidel Castro Mourns Tucson Shootings
Humberto Fontova
1/13/2011 12:01:00 AM - Humberto Fontova
Fidel Castro’s latest article in his captive (literally!) press mourns the Tucson shootings, as “An Atrocious Act.” “If only I could have gotten my hands on Loughner in time!” Castro must lament behind his crocodilian woe. “And made an intervention!...Why I might have made that poor boy’s picture into the most reproduced image of the century, gracing everything from T-shirts to posters, from thong undies to skateboards, from cellphones to infant onezies! I might have made him the topic of Hollywood hagiographies! I’d have Time magazine celebrating him among the "heroes and icons" of the century, alongside Mother Theresa!”
Fidel Castro has an excellent record in this regard. To wit:
The writings of a troubled young man who came to Fidel Castro’s attention in 1955 displayed tendencies not unlike Loughner’s: "My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood. Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any surrendered enemy that falls in my hands! With the deaths of my enemies I prepare my being for the sacred fight and join the triumphant proletariat with a bestial howl!"
The term "hatred" was a constant in the troubled young man’s writings: "Hatred as the element of our struggle"; "hatred that is intransigent;" "hatred so violent that it propels a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him a violent and cold-blooded killing machine."
His deranged fantasies included a continental reign of Stalinism. To achieve this ideal, the troubled young man craved "millions of atomic victims."
Fortunately for the troubled young Argentine, while a vagabond in Mexico City, he had the good fortune to meet an exceedingly shrewd judge of the human psyche. This judge, a Cuban exile named Fidel Castro, properly diagnosed the Argentine's psychosis and made an "intervention" in the nick of time, channeling the troubled youth's talents and yearnings toward ends considered constructive by the worldwide intelligentsia: establishing Stalinism.
Shortly the Argentine found himself gainfully employed in Cuba. His raging bloodlust was amply indulged in the extermination of anti-communist Cubans, a species of mammal that enlightened opinion worldwide considers an insufferable pest.
Former CIA officers revealed to this writer how Fidel Castro himself, via the Bolivian Communist party, constantly fed the CIA info on Che's whereabouts in Bolivia. Fidel Castro's directive to the Bolivian Communists regarding Che and his merry band is also a hoot: "Not even an aspirin," instructed Cuba's Maximum Leader to his Bolivian comrades, meaning that Bolivia's Communists were not to assist Che in any way — "not even with an aspirin," if Che complained of a headache.
On his second to last day alive, Che Guevara ordered his guerrilla charges to give no quarter, to fight to the last breath and to the last bullet. With his men doing exactly that, Che, snuck away from the firefight, crawled towards the Bolivian soldiers doing the firing, then as soon as his he spotted two of them at a distance, stood and yelled: “Don’t Shoot! I’m Che! I’m worth more to you alive than dead!”
That's exactly two flunky Communist guerrillas facing two Bolivian soldiers, by the way. But then, Che’s bloodthirsty bluster (see above) always had a habit of evaporating when facing men (or boys) capable of defending themselves. His stock-in-trade was blasting their skulls apart from five feet while they were bound and gagged.
…And oh! Didn’t Che Guevara mount his steed and grab his lance as the (self-appointed) liberator of South America’s indigenous peoples from exploitation by the continents’ Europeans descendants?
Well, based on this third picture, taken by the men who captured and killed him—Che’s message seemed woefully under-appreciated by his intended “beneficiaries.” I only note one obviously European-descendend person in the picture.
His Bolivian captors ignored Che’s final plea. In fact they adopted a policy that has since become a favorite among Americans who encounter (so-called) endangered species on their property: "Shoot, shovel, and shut-up."

Opposites Attract
IMG_2508 IMG_2513 IMG_2512 IMG_2511 IMG_2507 IMG_2506 IMG_2504 IMG_2503 IMG_2501 IMG_2531 IMG_2532
There is the age old saying that opposites attract and it has become an inside joke for humanity, an “-ism” of sorts. Now Firenze is a perfect example, a paradox. She is a city built upon the ruins of an Ancient Roman city called Florentia from around 59 BC. It also went through the Dark Ages where Europe went downhill, to put it simply. Then, in the 15th century, something miraculous happened, and it happened here. The Renaissance was born here, raised here and blossomed here. The rebirth of what we now call high culture, of art, of music, of education. It became the center of something so beautiful that even now, the art is considered some of the best in the world by people of all ages, backgrounds, and knowledge. Afterwards, Firenze entered into what is considered the Modern Age that continues onto the present. As a result, Firenze gracefully combines Ancient Roman ideologies, Renaissance art and modern technology.
Anyone can see this, if they know where to look, of course. Walking down any of the streets, beneath your feet are cobblestone roads, narrow and straight are the more ancient ones. The buildings are beautiful, ranging from lining the streets that mirror the ancient walls, to ones that were restored after bombings during World War II, with tall windows and wooden shutters. The stores are small because owners pay for street view, so they build back into the building. If you look closely, amid the details, there is local street art by different artists. One of my favorites so far is Clet. He mainly does street sign art.
But it’s stuff like that. Simple, yet so complex. Everything combining to create this city, that is so small, you can walk everywhere. It is so modern, but has the soul of an ancient city lying just below our feet.
Another example, is the parade last night. Every year, on September 7, there is the Festa della Rificolona or the Festival of Lanterns. It comes from the tradition of the peasants would bring agricultural gifts to the city for the Virgin Mary in honor of her birthday on September 8, according to the Holy Catholic Church. The peasants would leave at night and light their way with lanterns on long sticks. Now it has become a parade that starts at Piazza Santa Felicita and ends at Santissima Annunziata, going through the Piazza Signoria by the Uffizi Gallery and by the Duomo, all while being led by a Cardinal. Then September 8 is Market Day at Santissima Annunziata. The parade if full of young and old alike, all singing and laughing, holding lanterns. But this wasn’t just an ordinary parade, no, no, not in Italy. You don’t just watch the parade, you join it! You march along with them trying to sing the words and doing the hand motions. It was something that I will never forget. It was the best combination of old traditions and a modern day interpretation.
Day 14, check.

Screenshot from Dating Around. Courtesy of Netflix.
Reality TV is the often the most compelling when it is just that: reality. In the world of dating shows, though, realness is often in short order. Popular shows like The Bachelor, Love Island, and the outrageous Too Hot To Handle seem to favor grandeur over substance, shock value over connection. Enter Dating Around, a Netflix original that eschews these drama-forward norms and presents a hyper-realistic, “normal people going on normal dates” approach to the genre. It’s only possible to break the rules if you know the rules, and executive producer Alycia Rossiter certainly does, having worked extensively on The Bachelor and its various franchises. Dating Around’s subversive style has a simple format: one single person goes on five blind dates with five different matches, all at the same restaurant. There are multiple phases to each date, (“want to join me for another drink?” they might ask) and they can opt out of at any stage. We see all five dates inter-spliced over the course of thirty minutes, and the beginning of one second date, which the main dater has chosen out of the five.
There is no host, there are no talking head interviews, and no elimination ceremonies. In fact the only non-date content we see is at the top of each episode, where voice-over interviews from loved ones play over footage of the singleton getting dressed. What we’re left with, then, is pure voyeurism, as we watch single people try to form connections on their own. We can only glean how they feel about each other from the way they interact- their facial reactions and body language. The editing is conscious and sometimes abrupt, switching between dates in the midst of conversation. Sometimes the main dater broaches the same topics with their different matches, giving editors a chance to smash them together, allowing us to see different people’s different reactions to the same story. Ultimately, it’s like a really good session of people-watching.

Dating Around is also inclusive where its counterparts are not, with the cast ranging in sexuality, body type, age, and race. The contestants all look like regular people, and each has their own sense of style and self-presentation- not everyone looks like variations on the same white guy. The daters also vary in personality. Kindergarten teacher Brandon is suave and effortless while college professor Ben is eager and stutter-y, which gives the show yet another breath of realism- a break from the usual stream of polished, made-for-TV personalities.
While season one took place in New York City, which was ripe for interesting job titles and eclectic characters, the recent second season is set in New Orleans, which Dating Around makes look like the most romantic city in the world. The cinematography is stunning, rendering a simple walk down the street into a romantic swell straight out of a movie. It also sizzles with awkwardness at moments, as daters share silences and side-eyes. Just as in real life, every date isn’t a winner, Some of matches are pleasingly odd, and there’s often humor from the resulting tension. A pescatarian animal lover is paired with an avid hunter, a college professor is matched a student from his own university, (the former ends with as deft friend zoning, the latter ends with a resolution to inform HR) but the clashes don’t feel forced. Some second date choices are also surprising, since it’s not always the person they kissed during the date or the person who received the most airtime. It’s about first spark, attraction, and potential energy, and at the end of every episode the audience’s imagination is activated, as we’re left wondering where the relationships might go.
But there isn’t any pressure that the participants find “the one” over the course of the episode. That’s often the inherent hope of dating, of course, but nobody on Dating Around pretends that each connection will result in forever. Most other shows in the genre revolve around an engagement, despite the fact that less people are actually getting married these days. Most of the couples on Dating Around don’t even broach the subject of marriage, since not on everybody’s priority list (not to mention, a loaded first date topic).
Courtesy of Netflix.
The dates themselves could be ripped out of any New Orleans bar and table- they discuss the state of their local dating scene, the effects of Hurricane Katrina, their favorite restaurants. These conversations help ground the show in space and time, offering a respite from the anonymous tropical vacation spots that other shows seem to favor. The daters also reference real-world things that conventional dating shows often push out of frame: having to wake up early the next morning, past experiences using dating apps, one dater even confesses he’ll soon be moving to Texas- so he won’t even be around to form a real connection. Some of the most poignant moments in the show happen, though, when the dater sits in their Lyft (the show’s rideshare of choice) after dropping off their date. Their faces beam or cringe once they’re finally alone, and watching it feels like a rare insight into a usually private nugget of emotion. Ben even sheds a few tears after Jaden tells him that it’s just platonic.
In a word, Dating Around is relatable, and gives viewers a vision of romance that might rhyme with their own experiences. The show’s commitment to realism makes the moments of sweetness hit harder, like when Deva and Maria hold a loving gaze during the ride home, or when Justin sweetly tells Assata that she exceeds all his expectations. Watching reality TV during the pandemic often has a contains a layer of fantasy- looking back at a time when you could to restaurants, share drinks, kiss strangers. Dating Around, then, is the platonic ideal of that fantasy: regular people, regular encounters, regular conversations resulting in the moments of acute feeling and genuine magic of which life have always been full.

Hi, what are you looking for?
Stonepeak and Charging Company Nuvve Want to Electrify School Buses
Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners and electric-vehicle charging company
Nuvve Holding Corp.
NVVE 11.94%
are forming a joint venture aimed at accelerating the transition to electric school buses, a Biden administration priority.
The New York private-equity firm and its portfolio company
Evolve Transition Infrastructure
SNMP 1.43%
LP will commit as much as $750 million toward the new entity, to be called Levo Mobility LLC, the companies said. Nuvve, based in San Diego, will contribute its technology, which uses vehicles’ batteries to store energy and push it back to the grid while the vehicles are parked and plugged in.
The Stonepeak investment will come in the form of preferred equity. Together with Evolve, Stonepeak will own 49% of Levo’s common equity, with Nuvve owning the remaining 51%.
Founded in 2010, Nuvve started trading publicly in March, when it merged with a blank-check company. It is expected to announce the joint venture ahead of its first-quarter earnings report on Monday.
The company’s technology, known as vehicle-to-grid charging, addresses a central issue with the transition to electric vehicles: While replacing fossil-fuel-powered vehicles with electric ones reduces emissions, the rise in the number of electric vehicles also increases the demand on the grid.
With vehicle-to-grid technology, an electric vehicle’s battery can store energy from other sources and pool it with energy stored on other vehicles’ batteries to form what Nuvve calls a virtual power plant. Owners of the technology can earn money by providing that storage capacity, pushing energy back to the grid and performing services that help stabilize the grid.
Nuvve estimates that cars are parked for 96% of the day. School buses, which are typically used to transport students to school at the start of the day and home at the end, are driven even less. Meanwhile, 95% of the roughly 480,000 school buses on the road in the U.S. use diesel fuel, contributing about 5.3 million tons of greenhouse gas each year, according to a February report by the nonprofit Environment America Research & Policy Center and the U.S. PIRG Education Fund.
Studies have also shown that children breathe significant amounts of diesel fumes while riding in school buses, potentially contributing to respiratory illnesses.
Levo’s initial focus on school buses comes as President Biden is lobbying Congress to pass a $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan that includes $25 billion to electrify school buses. Nuvve and Stonepeak estimate that would be enough to convert about 20% of the nation’s fleet.
Paying for electric buses, which typically cost more than double what a diesel bus costs, isn’t feasible for most school districts. Levo plans to lease new buses to districts, providing them with vehicle-to-grid charging infrastructure and continuing maintenance for a monthly per-vehicle price. Its financing structures will be flexible to accommodate the specific constraints of district budgets.
Levo eventually plans to expand its offering to commercial fleets, including last-mile delivery, ride-hailing and ride-sharing, as well as municipal services. Stonepeak and Evolve can choose to invest more over time.
Energy transition is a significant investment theme for Stonepeak, which oversees about $33 billion of assets. In 2015, it invested in Evolve, which is a publicly traded limited partnership focused on acquiring, developing and owning infrastructure tied to the transition to lower-carbon energy sources.

Little lady, big sound
How many more fine pianists do they have out there in Seattle? We can right away add Molly Knight to the list. This city gives new evidence every year of being a real piano city. Great performance, great engineering, big Boesendorfer sound. Authentic performances of composers from Bach to Ravel.
Wildy Haskell
How To Teach Your Piano To Dance
Molly Knight is a world-renowned pianist with piano performance degrees from the Cincinnati Conservatory Of Music and the University Of Washington. She has studied with such renowned teachers as Gaby Casadesus, Bela Siki, Elizabeth Pridonoff and Jacques Rouvier. Along the way, Knight won the Diplome de Virtuosite at the Schola Cantorum in Paris, where she also taught piano. Knight has been cited for her nuance by no less august a publication than Paris’ Le Monde, and has thrilled audiences on two continents both as an accompanist and as a solo concert pianist. In 2009, Knight released her solo album, The Art Of The Dance, crossing three centuries to display her musical depth and ingenuity.
Knight opens The Art Of The Dance with Johan Sebastian Bach's French Suite No. 5 In G Major (BWV 816; 1722-1723), in which her fingers dance with all the joy at the universe that seems to inflect Bach's finest works. Knight has a light touch at the keyboard and uses powerfully dynamic phrasing to highlight every nook and cranny of the opening movement, "Allemande". “Courante” is much more mechanical in sound, although this appears to be more of an artistic choice than a deficit. In the meantime the finger work here is amazing, particularly in Knight's left hand. By the time Knight crests the third movement, "Sarabande", her play has become much more legato and interpretive, while allowing her more emotive tendencies to shine through.
"Gavotte" (Movement 4) is more transitional, sounding like the sort of music you might hear in a movie scene featuring a baroque parlor party. Knight does sound a bit rushed at times both here and in "Bouree" (Movement 5), but it's an inspired rush that seems essential to the mood of the piece. "Louree" (Movement 6) finds Knight stepping back just a bit and interpreting a bit more, adding a refined touch to a sometimes halting and pensive composition. Knight returns to Bach's headlong style of play on "Gigue" (Movement 7), performing the sort of finger acrobatics that cause lesser pianists to retire in shame.
Next she tackles Edvard Grieg's "Holberg Suite, Op. 40" (1884), performed as originally written for solo piano. The "Holberg Suite" was written by Grieg for the bicentennial of playwright Ludvig Holberg's birth, and makes use of 18th century dance forms. Knight imbues the first movement, "Prelude", with power and majesty that are perhaps surprising. "Sarabande" is much the opposite, a quiet, thoughtful piece with a hymn-like mien. What stands out most here and elsewhere on the album is Molly Knight's phrasing, which it is difficult to find sufficient superlatives to describe. "Gavotte" (Movement 3) has a jaunty air, playing like the first blush of spring, while "Air" (Movement 4) has a funereal feel that is palpable. Knight ties it all together with "Rigaudon" (Movement 5), an inspired dance that takes on a life of its own.
Knight's interpretation of 3 movements of Enrique Granados' "Spanish Dances" is technically superb and full of life, but pales in comparison to her reading of Maurice Ravel's "Valses Nobles Et Sentimentales", where she emotes with license both the dark and light in one of Ravel's finest works. Written in 1911, "Valses Nobles Et Sentimentales" combines modernist and impressionist styles in a series of waltzes that may have been Ravel's greatest creative passions. It's apparent that Knight understands this, as her performance of the eight waltzes Ravel wrote under this title is inspired and magical. When this piece first premiered in 1911 it was met with a chorus of catcalls and boos because of the then-ahead of its time use of dissonance as a harmonic construct. Knight makes the most of these moments, playing out each moment of tension for all its worth, thus giving the moments of resolution much greater power when they come.
Pianist Molly Knight takes listeners on quite a tour on The Art Of The Dance, traveling from the Baroque Period up through the nascent days of the twentieth century. The versatility of style and demeanor that Knight displays is manifest, seemingly bringing her Boesendorfer to life. Throughout, it's Knight's phrasing that wins the day, with moments both pensive and passionate ringing so clearly it's as if Knight taught her piano to talk. The Art Of The Dance is an album any serious classical music aficionado will relish, but it's accessible to the novice as well. Prepare to be enthralled by the depth of Molly Knight.

I rarely read a book after I have seen the movie it was based on because it seems almost akin to reading the final pages of the book first. Why start reading a book when you already know how it ends? When the movie already gives you a mental picture of what the characters are like? When it would be impossible to read the description of a scene, a conversation, an expression, or a mood without thinking first of the director's and screenwriter's interpretation of those things?
I stand by that view, but I also suggest throwing it out the window when it comes to The Pianist.
I was so moved by the film that when I saw this book in a store, I could not help but pick it up. Once in my hands, I could not help but read the first few lines. Once I read them, I could not help but buy the book. And once I bought it, the next day and a half of my life was dominated by the chilling, horrible, graphic and compelling story.
I won't go into an overview of the plot, since my fellow reviewers have covered that territory very accurately. But I will say that this is a rare case where the value of a book is not compromised by the movie -- the story is so well told and the details (most of which the movie screenwriter was forced to leave out) are so evocative and potent that they flow over and around any preconceived notions.
The film is well done, and by all means it should be seen. But don't let seeing the movie deprive you of the pleasure of this powerful book, which illustrates once again what we have known all along -- that great literature succeeds where other art forms fall short.

In January 2000, while visiting Warsaw, I met "Pan Wladek," the retired Director of Music at the Polish Radio. I read a book by him about his survival in the Nazi-occupied capital, and I was intrigued by the fact that I knew all the places he mentioned in the book. I was not surprised to learn that he still lives in the same part of Warsaw that I am from. I knew exactly where to find him.
Pan Wladek was a composer, honored by President of Poland with a Commander Order with a Star of Polonia Restituta. Although for decades he was known to millions for producing popular rather than classical music. He was responsible for launching the careers of many Polish singers. They often complained at first for choosing them the wrong material, almost every time he proved them wrong. A composer of nearly 500 songs; many made the pop charts. My favorite was the one about going to the Old Town, how he described the beauty of the restored part of the city, which was almost completely destroyed during WWII as Hitler's revenge against the Home Army's Warsaw Uprising in 1944. As a child, I learned that song from my grandmother and I sang it to my daughter years later. By the age of 2, she knew it by heart. That January, I visited the author.
After three attempts (finally, I realized that I was knocking on the wrong door), I met Pani Halina, the musician's wife, a doctor who comes from a prominent Polish family. She was an example of hospitality, feeding me with coffeecake and preserves, chatting but not letting me disturb her husband who as she explained was not feeling well that day. I sighed, but had no right to push my luck any farther. We hugged, and I walked to the door when I looked up the stairs. And there he was, the maestro. He was wearing silky navy blue pajamas with tiny white polka dots and a brown velvet robe with his gray hair nonchalantly combed off his face. He walked down slowly. Standing there, speechless, I was yelled at by Pan Wladek for letting my husband wait in the car while I'm chatting and drinking coffee with his wife. I grabbed my husband and brought him before the man. We were treated to the tour of the memory lane; the grand piano in the corner of the living room had a collection of photographs. Pan Wladek traveled the whole world as a member of the Warsaw Piano Quintet. He traveled everywhere but Australia. He talked about his musician friend Bronislaw Gimpel who lived in LA. We learned his whole family story, about the son who lives in Japan and the other one from Hamburg. He was just as I imagined: wise, dignified, well mannered, and funny above it all.
He displayed his disappointment that the American version of his book did not include photographs, as the German edition did.
Later, he mentioned that a famous Polish director contacted him about making a movie based on his book but he was very skeptical, it seemed so unreal. So we just laughed.
Pan Wladek died the following July at age 88. Three years later, I sat in the West Newton movie theatre watching 6 years of his life before my eyes on a big screen. The famous director's name was Polanski. Pan Wladek's last name was Szpilman and he is the main character behind "The Pianist" now "playing in a theatre near you". In the collaboration of three Poles: Fryderyk Chopin, Wladyslaw Szpilman and Roman Polanski, a masterpiece was created. Palme d'Or for the Best Picture at Cannes' International Film Festival was followed by the Boston Film Critics Award, New York Critics Award, and 7 Oscar nominations. Why this film differs from the Hollywood-made Holocaust movies is for you to find out.
In the 80's, the children of the German officer who in the last days of the war offered Szpilman a coat and chose not to kill him, visited Mr.Szpilman in Warsaw. They do not remember their father but learned about Mr.Szpilman from his letters from stalag. The pictures in a photo album beautifully arranged by the officer's daughter in law, showed Mr. Szpilman climbing the stairs to the attic where he hid. The little boy next to him is the grandson of the German officer. Another photograph shows Mr. Szpilman in a beautiful tailored suit and the officer's son exploring together the streets of Warsaw's Old Town. I feel privileged that I had an opportunity to meet Mr.Szpilman, and I feel obligated to share it with you.

The Pianist is a moving eye-witness account of one man's survival in Nazi-occupied Warsaw. Wladyslaw Szpilman--a Jew and famed pianist for Polish Radio--relates his memories of the unutterable and unrelenting horrors of the Holocaust in Warsaw--the random executions, starving children, mass deportations--with a sober, almost uncanny detachment. And though the machinery of extermination is all around him, he somehow evades his pursuers through friends willing to risk their lives to hide him. His father, mother, two sisters and a brother are all deported and sent to their deaths in concentration camp. And, when it appears, near war's end, that he is at the end of luck, trying to still keep himself concealed in a part of Warsaw that his been systematically destroyed by the Germans, he finds an unexpected saviour: Wilm Hosenfeld, a German Army captain who, rather than kill Szpilman, provides him with a hiding place and necessities to kept him alive until the Soviet Army finally liberates the city. This slim volume written with in a kind of terse, no-nonsense style that will keep the reader riveted to each episode in Szpilman's incredible Odyssey, is probably one of the best books I have read in the area of Holocaust literature.
on May 9, 2001
I read The Pianist in the original Polish, but the book will read well in any language. As Szpilman's son writes in the preface to the book, his father was not a writer, and the memoir is a testament to that fact. There is no overly flowerly language, no planned-out metaphors. The Pianist is simply a factual account of the mirculous events which lead to Wladyslaw Szpilman surviving first the Warsaw ghetto and later hiding out in Warsaw for years until the war ended. I learned quite a bit about life in the ghetto by reading the book, and found it interesting that Szpilman did not write with rage or hatred towards those who made his life a living hell for so many years. The memoir is, in a way, an exercise in fate -- there were so many opportunities when Szpilman could have died, could have been discovered, could have been sent to Treblinka, that it seems that his survival was written in the stars. The Pianist is a short memoir, a quick read, and very much recommended to anyone who is interested in the Holocaust or World War II. Roman Polanski was just in Poland shooting the movie version, and I'm interested to see how that turns out.
on March 29, 2003
In his book The Pianist: The Extraordinary True Story of One Man's Survival in Warsaw, Wladyslaw Szpilman writes, "A number of people escaped with their lives during the war because of the cowardice of the Germans, who liked to show courage only when they felt they greatly outnumbered their enemies." Truly and luckily, Szpilman is one among the number. From almost a million Jews population in the city of Warsaw, through "resettlement", human-hunting, and unreasonable decrees; the Germans trimmed the Jewish descent to its bone of merely twenty-five thousand in just 5 years. It is the very cowardice of the Germans, and more importantly the undying will of living that makes Szpilman's survival possible. I'm not in a position to judge the manner of which this book was written, simply because it was Mr. Szpilman's real life story and to whom I shall pay my highest tribute and regard.
The prose is written in a very calm voice which somewhat surprises me at the beginning. Later I realize that no sooner had the war ended and the Germans surrendered than Mr. Szpilman wrote this account fresh from memory. It seems to be that Mr. Szpilman was emotionally detached during the writing as he probably had not come back to his senses after the inferno. That also explained why he could accurately recall and date the incidents accordingly. The book itself is emotionally difficult to read and at some points I have to put it down, close my eyes and meditate for a minute. Few of the incidents still capture my mind and bother me after I finish reading: Mr. Szpilman's parting from his family as his parents, brother and sisters were taken away to concentration camp; the clearing of a Jewish orphanage founded by his friend Janusz who stayed his children on their final journey, the Germans (fabricated) video-clipping of Jewish men and women shower naked in public bathhouse to show how immoral and despicable the Jews were; and Mr. Szpilman's fugitive life after his escape from the Germans. Mr. Szpilman attempted suicide but the will for survival overcame the idea. His life took a dramatic turn when Captain Hosenfeld found him in the ruined city of Warsaw and spared his life. Though he never found the man, as Mr. Szpilman reminisced, Hosenfeld was the angel without whom, Mr. Szpilman, a Polish Jew, would probably not have survived at all. During his hiding days, Mr. Szpilman meditated on the music pieces and arduously maintained the hope of playing piano for the Poles again. Mr. Szpilman's account is a stunning tale of endurance, faith, and hope.

I found this book unforgettable. The author writes in a very detached style, and the effect that this has, can only be described as "haunting." We have to keep reminding ourself that the events in this book really happened,and that those were real people who were killed.
I saw Polanski's "THE PIANIST" last weekend,was very impressed and wanted to learn more about the real hero of the movie. I searched online for his recordings. After two days I received two CD's from Amazon related to Wladyslaw Szpilman: One with his beautiful songs sung by Wendy Lands (wonderfully arranged, smooth, some jazzy, some kind of pop, very american-like music, which I love to hear in the mornings) and another one with the original recordings of his great classical interpretations - Chopin ( i.e. the Nocturne from the final scene of the movie ), Rachmaninoff, Bach and his own music - Concertino for Piano and Orchestra composed in the Warsaw Ghetto in a time of deepest repressions by the Germans (I was surprised how optimistic this music sounds). He was a great pianist and composer. After I learned his story through the book, the movie, now I also got in touch with this man personally, through his music and artistry. Great feeling!!

This book, The Pianist, is my third English book to read which first seems to be difficut for me , a Japanese, to complete reading for unknown new wording and longer sentence. However, accurate and objective and rather calm description of difficult time of Poland and Holocost, gradualy strikes me and I have been transferred to the days of Warsaw when German invaded and forced terrible life to all Jews. Szpilman, among them, separated from his family at Umschlagplatz, staggering down the empty street, weeping out loud. Later on , he tried suicide in the burning building, thinking of the death of parents, sister and brother, gassed in chamber. What I most moved is , as in the movie, he played Chopin's Nocturne in C sharp minor in fron of German Captain Hosenfeld. Music sound floated through streets of ruins of Warsaw and strongly insists not only human agony and pains of death but also hope for live and humanity.
I think you will see God who guided Szpilam to endure and live through war for the hope and love.

The are several books detailing the horrors of the Holocaust and although each and every person's story is important, this book is very unique. One man's story of survival in Warsaw during World War II offers a new perspective on the Holocaust. Although this perspective is none the less chilling, it does help break stereotypes which continue today and shows that good and evil existed among both the German and Jewish populations.

Wladyslaw Szpilman's memoir `The pianist' is spell binding. It was hard to put the book down, once I started reading it. I have already read it 3 times. There is so much detail in Szpilman's writing that it is hard to grasp it all in just one reading. Szpilman's son writes in the Foreword that his father was not a writer; he was a musician. However, this is one of the best nonfiction books I have ever read.
The book is an honest, detailed, and detached observation of an important historical period 1939-1945, from Szpilman's perspective. His story of survival is not only inspiring, but also amazing. Szpilman came close to death several times during this period, but every time he somehow survived- sometimes by instinct, or luck, or kindness of many people, and most of the time through his self discipline and the will to survive. He survived the loss of his entire family, bullets from German soldiers, starvation, cold, jaundice, carbon monoxide, burning buildings, sleeping pills, and the German death train. He was meant to live, and tell his story. Szpilman tells it just the way it happened, with feelings, but without melodrama. There is subtle humor, vivid word pictures, and detailed accounts of places, people, and events. They are a testimony to his ability to observe and to communicate. He kept with him a pen and his wristwatch throughout his hiding, and he wrote immediately after the war, so his accounts are fresh and accurate.
When I read the book, I had already seen the movie twice, so there was no real suspense. Yet the book held my attention as much as the movie did. The movie complements the book, in a way. The pictures come alive in the movie, but some events and things decribed in the book are even more horrifying and shocking than what the movie shows. To realize that these things actually happened is a sad statement for humanity.
A fascinating portion of the book is at the end. There are excerpts from Captain Wilm Hosenfeld's diary and they reveal the kind and moral person behind the German uniform. The excerpts do not include Szpilman, however, because the last entry was made before he met Szpilman. The Epilogue, written by Wolf Biermann- a German writer - upon Wladyslaw Szpilman's request is an important part of the book. Szpilman looked for his savior almost immediately, and he even contacted a powerful Polish person to help him, when he discovered in 1950 where Hosenfeld was. Unfortunately his efforts were unsuccessful in rescuing him from the Russian POW camp.
I would have liked to see more pictures in this book. There is a picture of Szpilman with his siblings, and two by himself- one before and one after the war. There is a picture of Captain Hosenfeld, which was given to Szpilman by the officer's widow, when he visited her in 1957. Some family pictures would have made this book even more interesting. However, the lack of them does not lower the value of the memoirs.
For anyone interested in the history of WWII this book is a must read. Even without such an interest, this is a great inspirational book for anyone who cares, and I highly recommend it to all.
on February 27, 2005
The Pianist, by Wladyslaw Szpilman, is the story of the author's life in war torn Warsaw from 1939 to 1945. During this time, he went from being one of the leading concert pianists in Poland to someone who was forced to live in an attic, eating scraps of food and drinking dirty water in order to survive. His family was taken from him, his friends, his way of life, but he survived and outlived the brutal Nazi Regime that did all it could to destroy him. Written in the first person shortly after the end of World War II, the Pianist is an extremely well written story and should be read by those who enjoyed the movie, and by those who are interested in learning about the Holocaust. I highly recommend it.
For some reason, only three stars show above. However, I gave this book a rating of five stars.

#SayHisName : Off Duty Army Specialist Glendon Oakley Saved Multiple Children During El Paso Massacre!
An off duty Army specialist has been deemed a hero after saving multiple children during the recent El Paso Massacre that left numerous victims injured and 20 people dead.
According to the #Insider , Glendon Oakley has interviewed with a local television station to reveal the details of the fatal incident. "A little kid ran in there telling us 'there's an active shooter in Walmart,' but we didn't pay it no attention because for one it's a just little kid, and for two we're at the mall and not at Walmart," Oakley states. "We just didn't pay no mind."
It has been stated that it wasn’t until after Oakley entered a Footlocker within the mall that he then heard two gun shots followed by numerous people running and screaming. "I'm in the military, so when I hear the gunshots we're trained to think fast. Grab your weapon, think fast, take cover, do anything you can.”
Oakley goes on to state that he did have his gun with him and that he is fully licensed to carry. As he began to exit the mall he saw numerous children running for safety without a parent or adult insight. He states another man and himself responded quickly and they both scooped up as many children as they could to exit the building.
"The only thing I think of is just to pick up as many kids as possible. Maybe a total of 13 kids running around, but I could only get about three. I think he grabbed three as well," Oakley states. "I was just focused on the kids, I wasn't really worried about myself. I put my head down and just ran as fast as I could.”

Dozens killed jumping out of burning train carriages in Pakistan

Dozens killed jumping out of burning train carriages in Pakistan
Islamabad: A fire broke out on a train in Pakistan when a gas canister passengers were using to cook breakfast exploded on Thursday, killing at least 73 people, some as they jumped from the moving train to escape the flames.
The fire destroyed three of the train's carriages near the town of Rahim Yar Khan in the south of Punjab province. Nearly 40 people were injured.
"Two cooking stoves blew up. They were cooking, they had (cooking) oil which added fuel to fire," Minister for Railways Sheikh Rashid Ahmed told Geo television.
"Most deaths occurred from people jumping off the train," he added.
Baqir Husain, the head of the district rescue service, said the death toll could rise.
People sneaking stoves onto trains in order to prepare meals on long journeys is a common problem, the minister said.
Eleven people were killed in an accident in July and four in another accident in September.

There is another option that most people aren't aware of: a waterfall. The water usually comes out of the top of an waterfall fountain that is outdoor. While there isn't much of a spray, the water cascades down to the next tier in a cascading effect similar to that of an outdoor waterfall. Outdoor wall fountains are also available, with water flowing down the front of the flat surface and collecting in the reservoir/basin at the bottom. LED lights are often used at different phases of the 'fall' to improve the impression and contribute to the décor. If you are sitting outdoors at night, you can still see the outside environment.

The Golden Verses Of The Stoic
Nightmare Death
Night Terror AXIS I: 307.46
January 11, 1987|LARRY DOYLE | United Press International
Since April, 1983 least 130 Southeast Asian refugees have left this world in essentially the same way. They cried out in their sleep. And then they died.
Medical authorities call this Asian Death Syndrome. The refugees have various names for it, one of them being Night Terror.
"In the Philippines, it's called bangungut, in Japan pokkuri, in Thailand something else," says Dr. Robert Kirschner. "But it all roughly translates as the same thing: nightmare death."
As a deputy Cook County medical examiner, Kirschner has investigated five nightmare deaths himself, including a Laotian father and son who died in a Northside Chicago apartment--in bed, asleep, and only 15 months apart.
"The people in their neighborhood are terrified," Kirschner says.
Sudden unexpected death syndrome, Sudden unexpected nocturnal death syndrome
Crow(SUNDS), Sudden arrhythmic cardiac death Syndrome (SADS), Sudden Unknown Death Syndrome, Sudden Adult Death Syndrome or Bed Death is sudden unexpected death of adolescents and adults, many during sleep.
Sudden unexplained death syndrome was first noted in 1977 among Hmong refugees in the US. The disease was again noted in Singapore, when a retrospective survey of records showed that 230 otherwise healthy Thai men died suddenly of unexplained causes between 1982 and 1990: In the Philippines, where it is referred to in the vernacular as bangungot, SUNDS affects 43 per 100,000 per year among young Filipinos. Most of the victims are young males.
Spurred by curiosity and concern, Kirschner, an associate professor of pathology at the University of Chicago, undertook a systematic study of the problem. His results, based on data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and autopsies of 18 night terror victims, were recently reported in the Journal of the American Medical Assn.
Brugada syndrome
Brugada syndrome is a genetic disease that is characterised by abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) findings and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. It is named by the Spanish cardiologists Pedro Brugada and Josep Brugada. It is the major cause of sudden unexplained death syndrome (SUDS), also known as sudden adult death syndrome (SADS), and is the most common cause of sudden death in young men without known underlying cardiac disease in Thailand and Laos. Although the ECG findings of Brugada syndrome were first reported among survivors of cardiac arrest in 1989, it was only in 1992 that the Brugada brothers recognized it as a distinct clinical entity, causing sudden death by causing ventricular fibrillation (a lethal arrhythmia) in the heart.
"These are all healthy men with no previous symptoms; the average age was 33," he says. "The situation is almost always the same. It only occurs in men and it only occurs in their sleep. The report is they cry out and die or are found dead the next morning."
Standard autopsies revealed little about the deaths, other than that they were caused by a sudden heart stoppage. Such an occurrence in Asians is mystifying, since their rates of ordinary cardiac disease and malfunction are extraordinarily low, primarily due to their low-fat diet.
Anomaly Turns Up
But detailed examinations of the victims' hearts, performed by Dr. Friedrich Eckner of the University of Illinois College of Medicine, turned up something strange.
All of the 18 hearts were slightly enlarged, and 17 showed defects in their conduction systems, the array of fibers that carries electronic impulses from the brain to the heart. The fibers were frayed and curled, as if, Kirschner says, "their hearts just shorted out."
It is Kirschner's theory that something at night, perhaps a random electronic discharge, and yes, perhaps a nightmare, overloaded these defective hearts, causing the sudden deaths. This makes the nightmare death all the more curious, since studies of whites who die suddenly has not shown the same defect.
Thus, Kirschner speculates, genetics probably plays a large role in the defect, which may be present from birth. Nightmare deaths are only found in certain Asian populations: Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, as well as the Philippines and Japan. It has not been reported in China.
Suspects Stress as Factor
Stress is probably also a factor. Most of the deaths occurred within the first two years after the refugees arrived, and perhaps the strain of leaving home and coming to a strange land was too much for them, Kirschner says.
"The incidence appears to be dropping off now," he says. "So it does appear that maybe they're becoming more comfortable."
There is little that can be done to prevent nightmare death, given present knowledge, Kirschner says. "The best you can try to do is try to teach CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) to relatives of those who are at high risk," he says. "But that's about it. People have to sleep."

"Stuff Dads Say" E-BOOK
This is the final post in my Series “Stuff Dads Say”. What I thought would take a couple of months wound up taking more like six but I am excited to have covered what I believe are the most important messages that dads send their children. I am even more excited to let you know that I have compiled all of my “Stuff Dads Say” posts into a very affordably priced E-book. This book is a short and encouraging read that would be a perfect “virtual stocking stuffer” for a husband, son in law, grandpa, or new father. Check out the links below to read more about it.
How Do You Ask Nicely?
Proverbs 11:17
I’m Sorry
I totally screwed up the other day! It had been a long week, a long day at work, and when I arrived home things were a bit chaotic. I lost my temper, and snapped at my oldest son. My tone of voice was angry, the words were shorter than normal, and I am sure my facial expression was scary. I cannot recall what pushed me over the edge, but I can see the look on his face.
I now see that my angry response triggered an angry response in him, which only made the whole situation worse. As I have reflected on my anger over the last few days I am reminded of something I once heard a speaker say. He said that the most important thing he ever did as a parent was to apologize when he messed up. I have tried to keep this advice in my mind specifically for times like these.
A couple of times in my experience as a parent I have apologized to my children and seen the immediate calming, and healing effects of the words, “I am sorry.” Another time that sticks out to me is a situation in which I jumped to conclusions about my son’s actions. I walked into the house thinking I knew exactly what happened and began handing out consequences before getting the facts. As the injustices of my uninformed decisions mounted I could sense my son puffing up with defensiveness and frustration. His reactions got larger and the tears began to roll.
As I came to my senses and began to learn more about the situation I realized my mistake. I had misunderstood, over-reacted, and been wrong. Due to the wise words of the previously mentioned speaker, I realized my mistake, apologized to my son and immediately saw him deflate. He calmed down, relaxed, and opened up to me about what had happened. He could put down his defenses, as he was no longer being attacked.
Apologizing when we make mistakes disarms a situation; it demonstrates humility, strength, and honesty. If we as parents are willing to apologize our children will be more willing to apologize as well. “I’m sorry” is a crucial message to send to your children. It allows them to understand that you are not perfect, you are doing your best but make mistakes. Saying I’m sorry also gives them permission to make mistakes. They will learn to handle their own mistakes by following your model.
What is your experience with apologizing to your children?
The Wisdom of Solomon???
My kids fight! I am not sure why, I am not always sure what about. All I know is that sometimes just when I think things are going really well and I have got it all under control, people start hitting each other.
Most of the time these fights, and other crazy things occur when I am not in the same room with my children. They are downstairs and I am trying to catch a moment of stillness, or I am changing the baby while they are playing in the other room. Typically one of them will run to me and begin to recount the story of what happened. These are the moments of parenting that I find most difficult. What do you do? It feels good to support the crying child, tear into the other room and bring “justice” to the situation. Unfortunately, I am not really sure what happened, Who hit who? Why did he hit you? It can all be quite disorienting.
Someone told me once to never place myself as the judge in these types of situations. I was told that these scenarios are lose, lose for parents and children. If we choose the crying child, the “hitter” feels unloved. If we choose the “hitter” the “cryer” feels unloved. I was advised, instead to intervene with comfort and then a question to both parties. Provide comfort to the hurting child and then ask the question, how are you going to handle that?
I really like this question it can be used in many situations and it always provokes thought. It is so tempting, and usually easier for parents to give answers, provide solutions, or give instructions. Asking, How are you going to handle that creates discussion, it allows your child to think through their choices and hopefully to make one. The best part is that when they make a choice and act on it, no matter how it turns out they are responsible. If they choose wisely and the situation turns out well, they are responsible experiencing a wonderful sense of accomplishment and joy. On the other hand, if they choose unwisely, they are also responsible for those actions. They are left to face the natural consequences of their behavior with no one to blame but themselves.
What other questions do you find yourself asking your child?
How do you promote thought in tough situations?
Let’s Go Help Mom
I learned a very important lesson about marriage even before my wife and I got married. She was living in Texas and I in Southern California. She came to visit and meet my parents for the first time. I was excited to show off my hometown and my parents were elated that it looked as though I might be moving out of the house at some point in the future. My then girlfriend however, got a glimpse into how she would be treated as the future Mrs. Mark Vander Ley.
She returned to Texas and we continued our nightly phone calls. She gave me the news in her characteristically straightforward manner. “If you treat me the way that you treat your mom, we will not be getting married.” She saw the way that I treated my mom during that visit and was not impressed. She wisely knew that a son who disrespects his mother is a son who disrespects his wife. I am thankful that she called me out on this behavior before we got married. By the time the wedding came around I had made some growth. I am still working to model for my boys, the level of respect and honor that their mother deserves.
Another lesson came when my wife and I served as mentors for a young married couple. Like in many cases I learned much more from this relationship than the young husband I was mentoring. One day we decided to hold each other accountable for serving our wives in unexpected ways through out the week. This might mean emptying the dishwasher, taking out the trash, picking up around the house, or making breakfast. Basically, it was getting off my “duff” and doing something without having to be asked.
This experience softened my heart towards my wife. The accountability of this young married man helped me to put my wife first. He helped me to step up and lead through service. I still struggle with selfishness in this area and have plenty of room to continue growing. I am hopeful however that my boys will get the message of “let’s go help mom.” I am convinced that they will learn to respect their mother, and women based on the example they see.
I hope that dads will humble themselves and follow the command to, “love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” Ephesians 5:33
In what ways could you serve your spouse this week?
Oh, Let’s Try That Again
Psalm 103:13
Do you ever find yourself correcting your children for the same thing over and over again? Sometimes I think, “I put you in a timeout for that yesterday, and the day before, how many times do we have to do this?” At times I get frustrated, why are they not learning this lesson? Do they not understand what is being taught? When will they learn?
Unfortunately the answers to those questions are: no they do not understand right now and it will be a long time before they do. I have learned that many times we parents misunderstand how discipline works. We seem to think that our children are like piggy banks. They come to us empty of knowledge and it is our job to fill them up with the lessons of life so they know how to act. Each time we discipline is viewed as dropping a coin in the bank. Once that “coin” has been deposited the lesson is learned. One deposit equals one lesson right?
It has been helpful for me to think of children as wheat fields, rather than piggy banks. A wheat field is spread out as far as the eyes can see with stalks about waist high. If you were to walk across the field and then look behind you, it would be possible to see a slightly worn path where you had been. If you walk that path one time it will eventually go back to its original state. If you walked over that path hundreds or thousands of times however, it would be well worn and very clearly visible.
Think of these paths as experiences in your child’s life. Each time they have a similar experience, it is as though they had walked down the same path. Imagine the “throwing a ball” path. The more they throw a ball the more worn that path becomes and the better they get at throwing the ball. Athletic trainers call this muscle memory neuroscientists call it a neuropathway. The more they experience a certain behavior the more likely they are to repeat it.
Applying this analogy to how children learn from discipline can be helpful in understanding why we find ourselves correcting the same behavior over and over again. Sometimes those behaviors have become well-worn paths and in order to change the behavior we need to create different paths using different experiences.
I recall speaking with a mom whose son had a habit of taking things that did not belong to him. She had decided that instead of the normal punishment she would begin to practice picking things up and putting them back down. Her plan was to create a new neuropathway. She wanted to create the experience of seeing something that is not his, wanting it, looking at it, and leaving it be. I was blown away by her wisdom she was not sitting back and waiting for her son to steal so that she could react with a consequence. She was proactively creating new experiences, and neuropathways.
I believe that viewing our children as wheat fields rather than piggy banks can be extremely helpful for parents and children. For parents it can help to reduce anger. When I am trying to fill a piggy bank and it seems that the lessons are never learned eventually anger is the result. When parents are angry they are less able to parent effectively. When we view discipline as creating healthier pathways and experiences I am more able to remain calm and view an incident as yet another opportunity to wear a desirable path.
In our house we love redo’s when our oldest hits his brother, we say “Oh, let’s try that again.” And we repeat the situation in a more appropriate manner. When our youngest throws a fit, “let’s try that again.” Prescribing the words to use telling us how angry and upset he is about what happened. As we repeat over and over again these experiences of positive behavior the paths become worn and behaviors more common.
We don’t do this perfectly, but we are working to create new pathways for ourselves, of patience, compassion, and joy. I am hopeful that you will as well.

Let’s Go On An Adventure
Over my years as a therapist I have spent many hours talking with teenage boys. One of the phrases that I have heard over and over again is, “this is boring.” I have heard parents complain about children who have bins full of toys, yet describe themselves as bored. How is it possible that in our society of 24/7 entertainment anyone would be bored?
I recently listened to the White Horse Inn podcast that argued boredom in our culture stems from the over abundance of entertainment. They argued that our desire to have every experience be “THE” experience cheapens the value of all experiences. Even in churches and youth ministries we are constantly searching for the next big thing. The next exciting program or activity that will draw in more kids or parents so they can know how exciting Jesus is. We take high school students to camps and mission trips filled with emotional worship, funny speakers, and really gross games.
The problem is, this is not real life. Real life is mundane, it is getting up to go to work or school everyday, it is doing the dishes, laundry, and homework. Faith is hard, church can be normal, and even Jesus was not exciting all of the time. In my opinion the problem with the “bored” children is that they have never learned to imagine. Toys don’t require imagination these days. Computer graphics create vast worlds in infinite detail, none of it imagined by the players. It is nearly impossible to find a plain lego set that can be formed into whatever a child imagines. They are all movie themed and designed to be built into some specific object. Even infant toys are full of bells, whistles, lights, and buttons.
I was pleased to sit and observe some kids developing their imaginations the other day. I felt like one of those nature photographers catching the final footage of an endangered species. I sat very quietly hoping they would not notice me, so as not to disrupt their play. They played for about an hour with nothing more than a bucket tied to a rope and water. I am not sure what they were doing but they were all fully engaged and involved. Somehow they all had a role to play but no one told them what it was. There was yelling, laughing, jumping, and running; it was great fun. They were having a true adventure.
A true adventure is not some overhyped, artificially produced experience of which we are spectators. A true adventure is something we are actively involved in. It is a path that unfolds before us based on the shared experience of family and friends.
This was not the latest and flashiest toy. It was a white bucket tied to a rope, but it lead them on a wild adventure full of excitement and joy. I hope parents will say, “let’s go on an adventure” by giving their families the time and space to imagine. Let’s cut down on some of the adult organized “exciting” activities, and begin to create our own adventures in the backyard.

How to Halt the Entitled Generation: I Need Your Help
Ephesians 4:12 “to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up”
My children are growing up as part of the “entitled generation.” I have read several articles recently discussing this generation of youth as lazy, entitled, coddled, and narcissistic. One article written by Brett Mccracken from describes the entitled generation as,
Several years ago a colleague and I were sharing with a group of parents about Shelterwood, the teen-counseling ministry that we worked for. At the end of our presentation a parent asked us what we saw as the most troublesome problem facing teens today. Thankfully my colleague answered the question, however his answer surprised many of the parents. They expected to hear an answer of online pornography, drugs, texting while driving, or peer pressure. Instead, he described a sense of entitlement as the number one problem facing teens today.
How does a parent raise children that are thankful for the smallest of blessings? Is it possible in this day to raise children that view their purpose in life as serving others rather than accumulating possessions? If they are willing to serve others will they do it to please God or to gain some sort of notoriety? How can I do as Ephesians 4:12 says, “prepare God’s people for works of service.”
I witnessed an impromptu class in teaching the “entitled generation” about service during a family retreat while working at Shelterwood. All the parents and families had come to town for the weekend. This was our time to meet, encourage, support, and get to know the families of the teenagers that lived in our care. We were serving them right? After dinner one night the staff were to stick around to help clean up so that the families could leave to spend some quality time with their teenage child. One father had a different plan. As the families began to leave for the night he began picking up tables and chairs with the rest of us. He didn’t say anything, he just started pitching in and offering a hand. The class began when I witnessed his two pre-teen sons jump up behind him and mimic their father’s actions. I thought in my mind that this could not have been the first time these boys saw their father standing up to serve others. They must have seen him helping others over and over and over again. They desired to be a man, and from what they saw, men were servants.
I was convicted and inspired by this lesson on preparing my kids for works of service. I confess that many times my mind is set more on preparing my kids for college, a good job, or responsibility, rather than serving others. I often find myself losing sight of God’s mission of service for my life. I find myself desiring money, possessions, and notoriety. Like the lesson I witnessed first hand has taught me, the best way to halt the entitled generation is to be a servant myself.
I have been challenged to say to my children, “come on, I need your help” when I have opportunities to serve others. I hope that when my boys think of “manhood”, they picture a servant who is quick to pitch in, take out the trash, and stack up the tables and chairs.

Obama's First Drama: Hillary Clinton
| Wed Nov. 19, 2008 7:33 AM GMT
obama_clinton_faces250x200.jpg I was agnostic on the matter of Hillary Clinton's possible appointment as secretary of state--until last night.
So we've had a week of will-she-or-won't-she and what-about-him. Couldn't this have been handled with a little more grace? Maybe not, since it involves the Clintons.
Advertise on MotherJones.com
If you might be interested in the State position, there are a few issues that would come up concerning Bill. Let me run through a few. Would he be willing to release the names of his foundation's donors, as well as those who contribute to his presidential library? Would he be willing to forego contributions and speaking fees from foreign governments, foreign heads of states, and major foreign companies that would have an interest in US foreign policy decisions? Would he be willing to discuss with my national security adviser his foreign travel plans and his foundation's projects before they are announced and undertaken--and would he be willing to defer to us if we believe they are not appropriate or helpful at the time? I know that these are big things to ask. But given his global activity and standing, there's not much choice. And if it's a deal-breaker, I certainly would understand. But before you and I go down this road, we should make sure there are no major obstacles. Can you talk to him and get back to me in a day or two? And, to be helpful, Rahm has come up with a list....
Hillary's answer would have to have been either (a) of course, or (b) thank you for considering me, but I don't believe this would be a good fit. Two days would pass, and then the drama--or at least this part of it--could be over.
Former President Bill Clinton has offered several concessions to help Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, his wife, become secretary of state, people familiar with President-elect Barack Obama's transition vetting process said Wednesday.
Does that take care of it? Note the use of the word "several." It's hard not to see some sticking points arising about what is disclosed and when. The negotiations between the Obama camp and the Clinton team are supposedly proceeding smoothly. But why should there be negotiations? And could it end up with news reports saying Bill Clinton is willing to reveal X, but the Obama side wants him to release X plus Y? That is, more drama. According to AP, "One Clinton adviser noted that former President George H.W. Bush has given paid speeches and participated in international business ventures since his son, George W. Bush, has been president--without stirring public complaints or controversy about a possible conflict of interest." This does raise the suspicion that the Clintonites might not agree to all the necessary limitations. And don't they--or at least, this aide--understand there's something of a difference between their case and that of the Bushes (though it was probably not appropriate for Daddy Bush to engage in that activity).
Bottom-line: if HRC came fuss-free, then maybe there'd be no reason to kick up a fuss about her appointment. Yet that doesn't seem to be what's happening.
Perhaps that's the better argument against her. Being secretary of state isn't just about giving speeches and touring the world as a celebrity, it's about managing (and now reviving) the creaky and beleaguered foreign policy apparatus of the United States. And Clinton's résumé is not strong on that front.

Evaluating Websites
A - Author/Authenticity
Who are the authors of the material?
• Look for a name and e-mail.
• Often at the bottom of the page, or in a section called something like "About us" or "Contact us."
• It is usually not the same person as the "webmaster" or page designer (except in personal pages). This person is a technician or may have been hired to put the content on the web.
• Are the author's credentials provided? Does this person seem to be a reliable authority on the subject?
• Look all over (top, bottom, side bars, etc.) for a link to an "About us" or "Biography" section, a "Philosophy," etc.?
Anonymous pages or pages created by people with no real credentials (such as high school students) are not suitable for college-level research.
What is the source of the information? Examine the URL (address) for further clues.
• What type of domain does it come from (educational, non-profit, commercial, etc.)?
• Is it appropriate for the content?
• Government sites: look for .gov, .mil, .us, or other country code (such as .ca for Canada, .uk for United Kingdom, etc.)
• Educational sites: look for .edu or a country code
• Non-profit organizations: look for .org or a country code
• Who "published" the page?
• In general, the publisher is the agency or person operating the "server" computer from which the document is issued.
• The server is usually named in first portion of the URL (between http:// and the first /) .
• Is it somebody's personal page?
• Read the URL carefully:
• Is the server a commercial ISP or other provider of web page hosting (like aol.com, geocities.com, or earthlink.net)?
• Look for a personal name (e.g., jbarker or barker) following a tilde ( ~ ) or or the word "users" or "people."
B - Bias/Objectivity
Are there sponsors, affiliations that could represent potential conflicts of interest? Look for advertising or sponsorship statements that could reflect biased information. Check to see if different viewpoints are presented. Think about the point of view of the "publisher," identified above.
For example:
• You could expect opposing viewpoints on drilling for oil on federal lands from greenpeace.org and exxon.com.
• Support for smokers' rights might be expressed on rjrt.com (RJ Reynolds Tobacco), while cancer.org (American Cancer Society) will be against smoking.
C - Currency/Content
How accurate does the information seem to be? Look for typos, spelling and grammatical errors. Verify the information using reputable sources such as journals, books, and other experts in the field for comparisons. Check bibliographic references for confirmation of data.
Is the information current? Look for dates that indicate the timeliness of the information, when it was posted on the web and how frequently it is updated.

Obscure Questions
In addition to this list of frequently asked questions there is a list of obscure questions people have asked to which we have provided answers. They are included for completeness and for reference purposes and searches.
Questions about lineage and orcs
Questions about lineage and orcs are now maintained on their own lineage and species FAQ.
Questions about nations
Questions about nations are now maintained on their own Nations FAQ.
Questions about the Setting
Questions about the world the game is set in are now maintained on their own Setting FAQ.
Questions by New Players
An FAQ with questions frequently asked by players who are new to live roleplaying.
Can I request or suggest a plot idea?
We do not encourage players to send us suggestions for plot they would like to happen in the game. Partly this is a fairness issue, if it were possible to request plot by email then we would soon be inundated with hundreds of requests - we would spend more time answering emails than we do preparing the event! Critically the way to get more involved in the game would be through email - and that is something we are very keen to avoid. We want our players to play the game and to get involved with plots in the game based on the decisions their character makes.
However the main reason we don't pick up requests or suggestions from players is that the limit of the plot we run is not based on the number of ideas we have. Rather it is based on the time required to write and document a plot before the event and the time needed on the day to brief and debrief the NPCs. Our crucial limitation is the number of writers we have - not the number of ideas. Most of our writers are full of ideas of their own that they want to write - and their enjoyment comes from writing their own plots and seeing them come to life in the game. The best way for us to get more plot at events is if our writers enjoy what they are doing - which means encouraging them to use their own imagination to come up with their own plot ideas.
Some of our writers do read through backgrounds and pick up ideas for plot from them. This is relatively rare and players should bear in mind that there are literally thousands of characters on our database! We recommend that players create a background to help them define their character - not to try and create your own plot hooks in the game.
Can I pick the lock on a box?
If you find a lock, then you, as your character, may attempt to pick the lock - provided you are confident you know what you are doing and are not likely to damage their phys-rep. There is no open locks skill or spell - you can only open the box if you can pick the lock on the box.
Whenever you are interacting with other players at an LRP event, especially if you are in their tent stealing their stuff, you should take all reasonable steps to avoid damaging their kit and props. If you do break another player's LRP kit at an event, we expect you to be honest, let us known and to take responsibility for that.
Always remember that any phys-rep you take must be taken to GOD within 30 minutes.
Why have I only got 1xp after two events?
Can I use recorded music in my IC tent?
We have asked all players not to use background music playing from an electronic source in the IC area. Using music like this remains a controversial issue, some attendees like it - but some don't. In Empire we have worked as hard as possible to encourage the presence of IC musicians at events - and we want to continue that by encouraging players to hire IC performers if they want IC music in their establishments.
What are the restrictions on bows and crossbows?
Do I have to spend all 8 character points?
Does the CLEAVE have to hit armour to be stopped?
Can I use steel armour that doesn't cover my torso?
Can I wear mail under my costume?
What happens to my hits when I swap armour?
Can I use a one-handed spear as a polearm?
Can my magician wear pieces of armour?
Can I master a new ritual I just performed?
Can you be fed a potion if you are dying?
Can I use weapon master to wield a quarterstaff?
Can I use a quarterstaff and make heroic calls?
Can I fight while holding two items in one hand?
When do I get my hits back from Unstoppable?
What can I do while as I am using Unstoppable?
Can I use Unstoppable while I am paralysed?
Can I use a modern tent as an IC tent if I dress it?
Modern tents made of obviously plastic materials like nylon cannot be used in the IC area at Empire, even if you have tent dressing for them. This means that dome tents and party tents cannot be used in the IC area as well as other similar tents. The reason we don't make an exception for tent dressing is that it changes the decision from one that is reasonably straightforward (is that a modern looking tent) to one that is utterly subjective (have you dressed it enough). All attendees on arrival are always adamant that they will fully dress a modern tent but the results vary dramatically. The issue devolves into an argument about how much dressing is required and what the minimum standards are.
In effect what we are doing is asking everybody who doesn't have an IC tent to make a sacrifice and do without an IC tent. There will be hundreds of IC tents on the field and your character will be able to use many of them. The OOC camp site will be nearby and you can sleep there and store vital supplies there. By excluding modern tents from the field we will achieve a much higher standard of IC immersion through the IC area, so everybody gains, but it does mean that folks without IC tents have to make that sacrifice so everybody can have that gain.
Game Style
Do I have to volunteer to monster?
The Empire events run by Profound Decisions will feature one or more large battles, involving hundreds of participants. We have ordered four hundred orc masks and are in the process of ordering four hundred sets of orc armour. We can't possibly operate with that many crew, so to ensure that there is an epic horde to fight against we will need volunteers.
Volunteering will only be required if you plan to fight as your character in the battles. If you don't wish to take the field as your character, then there is no requirement to monster any of the battles. If you do wish to fight in the big battles then you will be required to volunteer to monster every other battle. There will be two battles at each of the first two events to ensure everyone has a chance to play one battle and monster one battle at each event.
We are confident that we can make monstering every bit as fun as playing. We need volunteers to fill out the barbarian hordes to make the battles as epic as possible, but our intention is that the majority of players find crewing one of the battles to be nearly as enjoyable as playing them. We are deliberately designing our barbarian foes to make them fun roles to portray.
There will also be skirmishes and other fights with the barbarians and other threats the Empire faces. We are aiming to have enough crew to operate these smaller battles ourselves, so volunteers are welcome but are not required.
Can I monster the battle without playing an orc?
Initially, most of the hostile enemies the Empire faces will be orcs. We have ordered four hundred masks for these which use latex prosthetics applied to a thin fabric balaclava making them relatively comfortable and pleasant to wear.
If someone can't play an orc, because they have a latex allergy or are non-combatant, then there will be other opportunities to help with the battle, but they are likely to be less fun. They may be human captives, sacrifices, or it may involve simply helping carry water for the battle. Provided you volunteer to help for one of the battles then you are welcome to the other, but if you can't play an orc then we cannot guarantee that what you'll be doing will be as much fun as the orcs are having.
Can I get a friend to monster for me?
People who play non-combatants will be welcome to monster both battles if they wish to. However you can't play two battles just because your friend is monstering two, the onus is on the individual - if you want to fight in an epic battle, you have to personally play your part in helping those epic battles happen, quid pro quo.
How should parents handle monstering?
It's important that young children are supervised throughout the event, so two parents or carers who are attending an event together can share monstering responsibilities if they wish to. This exception to the normal rule about sharing responsibilities takes account of their other responsibilities. This means that one of them can play one battle and one monster the other battle at the same event if they wish to. We encourage them to swap over between events, but of course this is up to them.
How do battles work?
How will battles work? (I paraphrase) Battles at events will form part of a wider campaign against the barbarian enemies of the Empire. Players will have opportunities to make pivotal interventions to turn the tide of war in their favour - provided they can triumph. Battles will feature objectives for the Imperial forces to achieve rather than being "meat-grinders"; achieving those objectives will improve the position of the much larger Imperial armies in the field. Things may be kept simple at early events to allow everyone to get the hang of the system but ultimately the intention is for those players playing Imperial Generals to decide where the Imperial armies are sent and to choose which battles to send the PCs to fight from the scenarios presented to them by their civil servants.
How dangerous will the main field be?
We are not planning to run camp attacks on the main field - the goal is to try and create the feel of a buzzing settlement right at the very heart of the Empire - a place of relative security. Our NPC magistrates will work to ensure the law is kept and the enemy is very far away. We want the field to feel like a place of relative safety, a place where characters can feel free to walk around without weapons or armour if they choose.
The idea is to contrast this with the very real danger that is present whenever the players leave the main field. Those characters that use magic to teleport to the Imperial battlefields will find themselves facing very real and very deadly threats. For the overwhelming majority of the time, players will know when they are heading into danger and those players who wish to avoid combat should find this easy provided they remain with the safety of the settlement.
Is PvP murder allowed?
We are quite explicitly setting out to make assassination as difficult to achieve as possible. The Empire has a legal system, run by NPCs, and it will make all possible effort to identify and execute assassins. Our intention is for the majority of conflict between players to be political and social in nature rather than combat based.
Assassination of characters is still acceptable out-of-character behaviour; what we are doing with the campaign is deliberately making that as difficult as possible for the assassins to get away with, so that it becomes a tool of last resort rather than the simplest way to deal with political enemies.
Can I send resources or coins by post?
You can hand in coins or resources to your account for use in downtime at the end of every event, but if you forget then you can post them to our head office address. Please make sure you include your name, character name and CID as well as a list of what resources you are posting. Please appreciate that it always takes a few days for parcels to reach us.
When do I get the benefit of my upgrade?
Can I submit a free-text downtime?
What happens if I don't make an event?
Can I die in downtime?
Can I purchase a downtime ticket?
When does the magic item duration end?
The year duration for magic items begins at the next event that your character attends following the downtime that you make the item. The item is valid for that event and the three events that follow it.
Why does my bank payment take days to appear?
Regrettably, Barclays Bank will not allow us access to their computer systems to integrate our payment system with theirs. This means that we cannot fully automate your payment, we are forced to download the payment data from Barclays by hand. Therefore, once a day we download all new payments. These are then imported into our software and processed automatically using the unique reference code for each player's account.
Unfortunately the data supplied by Barclay's is incomplete, which makes it impossible for us to distinguish between payments on the day they are received. This means we can only process payments for a day once we can be certain that Barclays will not add new payments for that day. Worse, Barclays have written their own software to conceal the true date of any payment received on Friday, Saturday and Sunday so that it appears as if the payment was received on the following Monday, presumably so that their computers can take the weekend off. As a result we can't process any payments sent on Friday, Saturday or Sunday until the following Tuesday at the earliest.
This means it can take up to a week or longer for your payment to appear on your account. Please be patient - it will turn up! We take several thousand payments this way every year, and the number of problems is in single figures and are always quickly resolved. But it does take time - bear with us and your payment will appear on your account as soon as we can process it. Your booking will always be honoured based on the day you sent your payment, not the date we process it.
What is the requirement for concessions?
Anyone who is a full time student, a full time member of the armed services, a pensioner, or receives state benefits as their main income is eligible for the concession on the ticket price. You only have to be eligible at the point where you provide the proof of your eligibility, so students or can claim the discount for the year even if their course ends in the Summer.
You must provide proof of your eligibility. The best way to do this is to email proof to us at after you have booked. We can then mark your entire booking as having the concession confirmed. If you don't do this then you will be forced to bring proof to the event and then queue up in a long queue at GOD before you can play. Please don't do this, it's bad for you and bad for us! Email us a scan of your proof and we will log it to your account.
Can I use a recruitment booking code for Empire?
The promotional discounts for new players are valid at all Empire and Odyssey events.
How do I book my child on to the event?
The website has now been updated to allow players of all ages to book on to the event. Anyone who is attending the event must have their own account, regardless of age. Once you have created an account and entered your birth date then the ticket prices will be updated to reflect your age and booking options.

• Herman Cain Eats His Pizza Like a Man
Herman Cain and some GQ reporters discuss the meaning of pizza
Alan Richman: I understand that you like lots of meat on your pizza. Is this true?
Herman Cain: Yes…
Chris Heath: What can you tell about a man by the type of pizza that he likes?
Herman Cain: [repeats the question aloud, then pauses for a long moment] The more toppings a man has on his pizza, I believe the more manly he is.
Chris Heath: Why is that?
Herman Cain: Because the more manly man is not afraid of abundance. [laughs]
Devin Gordon: Is that purely a meat question?
Herman Cain: A manly man don't want it piled high with vegetables! He would call that a sissy pizza.
Chris Heath: Are there Democratic pizzas and Republican pizzas?
Herman Cain: Nope, nope, nope. It's like a good idea: if it's great pizza, it transcends party affiliation, just like a good idea — like 9-9-9. [laughs]
I cannot possibly imagine what else else you could possibly want from a conversation about pizza with Herman Cain. That gave you all there was to possibly give.
Oh, and you know what else? If there were a more effective way to sexually harass a piece of food, I'm confident that Herman Cain would find it.

Reasons You Should Pay For Monthly Clothing Service
For those who don’t know, monthly clothing services are actually a lot more common than you may think. Now for those wondering, the monthly service basically involves the people getting a box with assortment of clothing every month.
Now this may not be useful for people who have enough clothes, or do a lot of shopping, but if you need new clothes every now and then, services like these are actually very useful. Keeping that in mind, you can see discounts plus comparison between similar services to decide which one is the best for you.
There are several reasons why you’d want to have a service like this, and we’re looking at some of the reasons you should pay for monthly clothing service. So, let’s go ahead and start looking.
You Want to Stay Up to Date
If you are someone who can’t stay up to date with the trends all the time in the fashion industry mainly because you don’t get time to, but still don’t want to wear dated clothes, you can totally benefit from these services because they’ll be sending you clothes that are in accord with the trends, as well as the seasons, so you don’t have to worry about not being prepared.
You Don’t Like Shopping
Shopping is something that’s never the same experience for everyone, while a lot of people love it, there are a lot of people who don’t, and are generally against it. Keeping that in mind, it’s important for you to know that if you are not a shopping person, then you can simply use the service to get the clothes every month without really having to step out of the house. Something that is a huge benefit for people who don’t like shopping.

It's not that I'm necessarily looking for things that are so dark and emotional. But if I see something where the character goes through enormous change, it's very appealing to play all those levels, and that is probably going to involve some dark moments.

Coup in Cuba (Batista)
A military coup occurs in Cuba. The elected government of Carlos Prio Socorras is deposed by Fulgencio Batista.
The USA supports the new Cuban dictator who is a particularly brutal ruler. Under his regime, Cuba becomes a haven for drugs, gambling, vice and mobsters. USA business interests benefit.
Freedom of speech is curtailed and hundreds of teachers, lawyers and public officials are fired from their jobs. Death squads torture and kill thousands of "communists".
Cuba (Castro and Batista)
Fidel Castro takes power in Cuba in a popular uprising against the dictator Batista.
Castro had attempted to stand in elections in 1952. These elections were cancelled when Batista took power. American businesses (set up under the un-elected Batista with terms favourable to the USA) are taken over after the USA stops sugar imports from Cuba.
Castro, originally pro-West, turns to the USSR for financial help. Cuba's people would suffer greatly from American trade embargoes, terrorist attacks, bombings, biological warfare, a military invasion, sanctions, isolation and assassination.
USA and Cuba
The USA imposes a trade embargo on Cuba and bans its own citizens from visiting.
The USA attempts to persuade and coerce other countries to join the boycott of Cuba, saying that the country is a threat to the Western Hemisphere. A Mexican diplomat responds with "If we publicly declare that Cuba is a threat to our security, forty million Mexicans will die laughing".
Cuba (Bay of Pigs)
A secret invasion of Cuba to remove Castro by USA backed forces fails. The invasion, called The Bay of Pigs, had been approved by the USA president John Kennedy.
USA and Cuba
Cuba begins to improve education and health for its people as well as redistribute land, previously owned by multinational companies.
By 1973 Cuba will have the lowest child mortality and the highest literacy in Latin America. In spite of these measures, popular with the majority of the population, the USA puts pressure on its allies to exclude Cuba from various inter-American forums. The USA continues to blockade the country and even attempts to assassinate the president, Fidel Castro.
A UK freighter bound from Cuba to the USSR with 80,000 bags of sugar stops in Puerto Rico for repairs. Agents from the USA CIA contaminate the sugar with a harmless chemical that makes the sugar unpalatable. A CIA official later reveals:
"There was lots of sugar being sent out from Cuba, and we were putting a lot of contaminates in it."
The USA president, John Kennedy, is angry when he hears of the operation because it had occurred on USA territory and could hand the USSR a propaganda weapon.
A Canadian worker in Cuba is paid $5,000 "by an American military intelligence agent" to infect turkeys with a fatal disease; 8,000 turkeys die.
A group of CIA dispatched rebels blow up an industrial facility killing 400 workers.
Cuba (Assassination of Che Guevara)
The USA CIA is implicated in several plots to assassinate Che Guevara, a member of the government in Cuba. A CIA operation with support from Cuban exiles finally tracks him down to Bolivia where he is killed.
The USA CIA gives Cuban exiles living in Florida (USA) a virus that causes African swine fever. Less than 2 months later, the disease breaks out in Cuba causing the slaughter of 500,000 pigs. This was the first outbreak in the Americas.
USA and Cuba
A passenger airliner from Cuba is blown up killing 73 people. The act is attributed by the bombers to Luis Posada Carriles.
Posada was trained by the USA's CIA and later turns up supplying the anti Nicaragua Contras for the USA covert war against that country. In the 1990s he would be involved in destabilising Honduras.
USA and Cuba
The USA attempts to infect Cuba with bacteria. A Cuban exile, Eduardo Victor Arocena Perz, carries the germs in a ship from Florida (USA).
USA and Cuba
The American Association of World Health reports that the USA imposed trade embargo against Cuba "has contributed to serious nutritional deficits, particularly among pregnant women, leading to an increase in low birthweight babies. In addition, food shortages were linked to a devastating outbreak of neuropathy numbering in the tens of thousands."
The USA's boycotts of countries like Cuba as well as threats to retaliate against non-USA companies doing business with them violates the global trade rules that the USA has signed. Although it exempts itself from these rules, the USA insists on other countries abiding by them.
When European countries refuse to boycott Cuba, the USA's President Clinton asserts in the Newspaper of Record:
"Europe is challenging 'three decades of American Cuba policy that goes back to the Kennedy Administration,' and is aimed entirely at forcing a change of government in Havana.".
Despite the USA embargo and the assumption that the USA has the right to change the government of a foreign country, Cuba has 57,000 doctors for its 11 million people. Associated Press has reported that since 1963, Cuba has sent 51,820 doctors, dentists, nurses and other medical doctors to the poorest nations, providing free medical aid. During the 1960s, the USA was behind many attempts to assassinate the Cuban president, Fidel Castro.
USA and Cuba
A crop duster aircraft operated by the USA State Department is spotted releasing a mist over Matanzas province in Cuba by another pilot. The plane had permission to fly from the USA to Colombia via the Grand Caymen and to overfly Cuba.
Two months later a plague of Thrips Palmi, a pesticide resistant insect, is observed in the area. This spreads rapidly affecting corn, beans, squash, cucumbers and other crops. When questioned, the USA replies that the pilot had sprayed smoke to indicate his position. This is contradicted by the USA Federal Aviation Administration which knows of "no regulation calling for this practice".
In 1977 a released CIA document had admitted that it "maintained a clandestine anti-crop warfare research program targeted during the 1960s at a number of countries around the world".

Jul 23, 2020 in History Essay
American Revolution Essay
Unlike multilingual European countries that formed around existing and generally geographically separate language groups, the challenge of the new American republic was to incorporate a continuing flow of immigrants, who spoke different languages into a united nation, where only one language was spoken (Martin, 2011).
Each new coming wave of immigrants faced the prejudice of the old-timers. In the middle of the 19th century, all Irish immigrants believed to be drunkards. In the early 20th century, there was a widespread opinion that the Poles, Russian Jews and Italians were too different from the local population, their customs and traditions had little in common with the habits of Americans. They had very little chances of successful integration into the American society. Now immigrants from Asia and Latin America are accused similarly.
In the first half of the 20th century, the nature of the migration process was very different from the migration of the 19th century. Approximately, 30 million of people left Europe during the 1900-1939. The high level of concentration of production and capital in the U.S. has led to the additional demand for labor, which satisfied the less developed countries (backward countries in Europe, China, and India). As before, most of the immigrants were from the UK, but now they were mostly sent to the British colonies, particularly the ones in South Africa. The number of re-emigrants has dramatically increased, the English and the Irish were returning to their historic homelands. The flow of immigrants from Germany to Latin America had also increased. Migrant Italians made the basic choice in favor of the United States (DeConde, Burns, & Logevall, 2002).
Limitation has gradually continued in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, just after the World War I (1914-1918) and at the beginning of the 1920s. Congress changed the policy of the country about immigration. The Law on national origin (adopted in 1921 and approved in final form in 1924) limited not only the number of immigrants, who could enter the United States, but also sets quotas, based on ones national origin. This was a complex of legislative acts, which essentially favored immigrants from Northern and Western Europe, sharply limiting the number of arrivals from Eastern and Southern Europe and declaring the inappropriate reception of immigrants from Asia to the United States. As before, some settlers were from other European countries.
Most people were convinced that Mexican immigrants took jobs from Americans, and that they were the cause of the incoming decline. California authorities passed a law that banned hiring the illegal Mexican immigrants. The hostile attitude of society to the Mexicans led to the fact that a third of all Mexicans living in the United States, had to leave the country or were forcibly deported. American attitude toward immigrants changes, depending on the condition of the U.S. economy. When the country is experiencing hard times, society treats newcomers with disapproval. If the situation changes for the better, then foreigners are welcomed.

1. Artisan 0219s 35” length 3* loft 69* lie. KBS CT Tour shaft. Brand new Lamkin grip and stock pictured head cover. Gamed about a dozen rounds. Hasn’t made it into play this year so moving it along. $550
2. Almost all oem’s these days use a straight tip putter shaft no matter if it’s over a post or in a hosel. Just need to see if it is .355 or .370. Behind that it’s over a peg most likely a .370. The only shafts that are made specifically for over a peg are the old flare tips.
3. The last 2 I have pulled off stock shafts had a plastic ring that was melted when pulling it. One was a F9 and the other was on a Speedzone. I just picked the melted piece out and installed on the new shaft. The older ones I have pulled prior to the new loft notations have been 100% metal
4. Golf Works sell this. But you could also use a longer lag type screw and heat to pull broken shaft out by hand. Seeing you aren’t trying to not damage the tip of the shaft.
5. Ping Heppler Tyne 3 35” with KBS CT Tour shaft and Lamkin Sink grip. Stock head cover and the stock adjustable shaft will be included. ***SOLD*** Cobra Speedzone 18.5* fairway. Hzrdus Smoke 6.0/70g. Golf Pride midsize Tour velvet grip and stock head cover. ***SOLD*** Hzrdus Smoke 6.0/70g 42” with Cobra adapter, Golf Pride midsize Tour velvet grip. $65
6. Might be a Copper Scottsdale Anser. Thad the sight line and sound slot added. That is why it had the green tarnish on it. If the work was done by Ping it was awhile ago because they no longer work on the Copper or Nickel putters. Odd that it has the color code dot in the cavity though. Maybe something Ping added when the modifications where done?
7. Hzrdus with Taylormade adapter SOLD All 3 Vokey shafts for $40 New level head and shaft combo $65 unassembled.
8. 1. New Level M-Type 50-7 wedge head only standard loft and lie. ***SOLD*** 2. KBS C Taper S .370 tip wedge shaft with midsize mcc grip. Played standard length in the New Level 50-7. $25 3.

Why Mumps And Measles Can Spread Even When We're Vaccinated
Potent but not perfect: Medical assistant Elissa Ortivez prepares a measles, mumps and rubella vaccine at a clinic in Walsenburg, Colo. // Getty Images, John Moore
A mumps outbreak in Ohio has ballooned to 234 cases, even though the community is well protected against the virus. One scientist explains why this "vaccine failure" occurs.
More than two months after a nasty mumps virus triggered fever, headache and painfully swollen glands among a handful of students at Ohio State University, the outbreak has ballooned to 234 cases at last count, and has spilled into the surrounding community in Columbus, Ohio.
"Columbus officials are calling it the city's biggest outbreak since the development of the mumps vaccine in the 1940s," WOSUs reporter Steve Brown tells Shots. "It even pushed them to open a new clinic."
So far, most of those infected are students or workers at Ohio State, Brown says. And here's what's surprising: Many of those who got sick had previously been immunized against mumps via one of the top weapons against childhood diseases: the MMR vaccine. That's a two-dose shot most of us got when we were kids to protect against three diseases – measles, mumps and rubella.
Interestingly, a young woman in New York caught the measles in 2011 even though she, too, had been vaccinated, scientists reported last week. "Measles Mary," as Science magazine called her, also spread the virus to four others.
What's going on here? Is one of our best shields against infectious illness faltering?
To answer those questions, we talked with a vaccine specialist, Dr. William Schaffner at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. The conversation has been edited for length and clarity.
Why can you still get the mumps and measles even if you're vaccinated?
Measles is a terrific vaccine. If you get two doses, it's predicted to protect 99.99 percent of people for life.
That case in New York was so unusual that it's come to everyone's attention. On rare occasions, the virus trumps an individual's protection.
The mumps vaccine, on the other hand, is not so good. The protection rate varies from study to study. But it's usually in the mid-80s.
Both vaccines, for mumps and measles, are tamed versions of the viruses. The viruses aren't killed, but what we call attenuated, live viruses.
If you don't attenuate the mumps virus enough, you get better protection but more complications with the vaccine.
So we're walking a fine line. To avoid complications, the mumps vaccine doesn't protect as well as the measles.
We wish we had a better mumps vaccine.
Q: So the outbreak at Ohio State University is due to "vaccine failure," not declining immunization rates in the U.S.?
Yes. In the U.S., we have done a stupendous job of comprehensively vaccinating children. We have the best vaccination record in the world — I'm proud to stay, siting up with a big smile on my face.
But every developed country hasn't gotten with the program! So we have mumps cases imported into the U.S. from Europe and the U.K.
Well, hello! If the British vaccinated everyone, they're would be less importation and fewer outbreaks in the U.S.
With the situation in Ohio, what we'll probably find is that the vaccine protected about 85 percent of the people. So you can see that some people who were vaccinated can acquire the illness — if they're exposed.
With measles and rubella, protection rates of the vaccine are up in the mid- 90s. What drives these outbreaks in the U.S. are children that have been withheld from vaccines. So it's failure to vaccinate, not vaccine failure — as with mumps.
Q: Are you saying that vaccines don't work as well when large groups of people aren't immunized?
Correct. Vaccines have two functions: Protect the person vaccinated and provide protection to the entire community.
If you want to eliminate the infection entirely from a community, a very high proportion of people have to be immunized.
If children are left unvaccinated, measles will find them and make them sick. It's one of the most contagious diseases we have.
Mumps is not quite as communicable. But with only about 85 percent of a population protected by the vaccine, outbreaks can smolder along and infect just enough people to keep going.
To protect yourself, the number one priority is to make sure everyone is vaccinated. If you know of someone who has the mumps, avoid them!
Q: Should adults get a booster of the MMR to protect against mumps outbreaks?
We recommend everyone gets two doses of the MMR vaccine.
Then, if there is a mumps outbreak in your community, like in Ohio, health workers will figure out which population is at risk and give them a third dose.

Soya - Information about Soy and Soya Products
Soy milk powder
instant soy milk powderSoy milk powder is soy milk from which all water has been removed, similar to cow's milk powder. Soy milk powder has a white to beige colour and mixes readily with warm or cold water. It can be made of plain soy milk or can contain additional ingredients, such as sugar, flavours and calcium.
While it is not as common as cow's milk powder, soy milk powder can be found in some stores in the US. In Europe it is even more difficult to find, but can be easily ordered online. Popular brands of soy milk powder, which can be ordered online, are NOW Instant Soy Milk Powder and EcoMIL Instant Soya Drink Powder.
Benefits of soy milk powder
Soy milk powder contains all the good ingredients of soy milk. There are different reasons why you would buy soy milk powder instead of pre-packaged soy milk:
• Soy milk powder is more environmental friendly.
This sounds a bit contradictory since a lot of energy is required to remove the water. The process of dehydration is carried out in a sequence of evaporator units, where steam from the preceding unit is used as the heat source in the next unit, resulting in low energy consumption. Soy milk powder results in the use of less packaging waste, compared to soy milk packed in cartons.
• Soy milk powder is easier to store and does not spoil. When you go on holiday and are not sure about the availability of soy milk at your destination, you can carry some soy milk powder with you.
• Usually, soy milk powder is less expensive than pre-packaged soy milk brands.
Disadvantages of soy milk powder
The taste of soy milk made from soy milk powder will always be a bit inferior compared to commercial soy milk in cartons. The texture may be slightly sandy and the taste a bit bran like.

Soy milk powder
I buy soy milk powder from Now Foods. It is pure soy milk powder, so no added salt, sugars, thickeners or flavours. If you make milk from it, of course the taste is not that good than store-bought soy milk, but that is not a problem beacuse I mainly use it in recipes. And for Marion, it would be ideal to take on holiday.

How can I prepare a good soya milk powder?
You could dry soya milk in the oven at 150°C, but the result will be a brownish hard cake. Soya milk powder is industrially made in very large drying tower where the soya milk is sprayed in very small droplets at the top. As these droplets slowly fall down the water evaporates by the hot air, leaving fine particles of powdered soya milk solids.

People collect the strangest so-called antiques
Phrenology 2 thin
Español | Deutsche | Français | Italiano | Português
by Christopher Proudlove©
Collecting is such a wonderful excuse. You can fill your home with all sorts of junk and never have to worry what friends and neighbours think. Why people collect is a complete mystery to me ... I just do it, to the exclusion of almost any other pastime.
The things people collect is also particularly amusing. Most bizarre I've ever come across was a collector of barbed wire! He was an American (of course) whose passion was the display in his 'den' of 18inch strands of the stuff fastened to highly polished mahogany plinths. Personally, I was amazed to learn there were so many different types.
A collection of antique milk bottles was another strange one, while other acquaintances of ours hoard respectively Victorian tiles; printed billheads; wrappers from paper packets of dressmaker's pins; cut-throat razors; clothes brushes with advertising slogans printed on them and ventriloquists; dummies.
I have a slightly different ambition. I want to collect, not a group of things all broadly similar, but rather an assemblage of objects whose design or intended purpose is so outrageous or unusual that they must be saved for posterity. And the curiouser the better!
I'm well on the way, already. The shelves chez nous already groan under the weight of such obtuse pieces as a hammer, a fire extinguisher, a wasp trap, a darning mushroom, a walking stick, a rolling pin and a model of a sailing ship.
What makes them unusual is that each is made from glass.
The hammer is just a jokey thing like red lamp oil and tartan paint, made by a glass blower with a sense of humour.
The fire extinguisher is more serious. On discovering a blaze, the idea was to throw the thing, which is filled with a fire retarding chemical, at the seat of the flames so that it smashes and spills out the contents to do its work.
They were effective and, therefore, quite rare nowadays. Take a trip to Erdigg Hall, the National Trust home near Wrexham.
One of the most complete late 18th century country homes in the country, the house has pairs of the so-called Harden Star Hand Grenade, hanging one each side of the doors to each room.
They cost 45 shillings (£2.25) per dozen when they were new in 1885. Today a single example - they come in either cobalt blue or green - would change hands for around £60-80.
The nice thing about the wasp trap is that no one has a clue what it's for until they're told. It's also ingeniously designed and a wonderful shape.
Interestingly, garden centres have hit on the idea and are now selling cheap and nasty copies. Pay around £3-5 for one of those or £40-60 for a wonderful hand-blown Victorian example.
The other three pieces are simply unlikely examples of glass manufacturing. They emanate probably from the Nailsea or perhaps Stourbridge glassworks of the mid19th century.
Each is part of a group of glassware collectively known as friggers. Tradition has it they were made from scrap glass at the end of the day's production that would otherwise have been wasted.
Instead, the glassblowers spent a little of their own time before going home to produce knickknacks to sell for some extra pocket money.
More likely, small glassworks were set up to produce the objects as decorative souvenirs in a cottage industry just like Staffordshire potters made flatback figures.
That's probably enough glass. Now's the time to branch out into other areas. I'm still looking for a left-handed moustache cup; a patent nose improver (a miniature leather harness contraption invented by a man called C. Lees Ray in 1908); a damp bed detector (an early 20th century pocket hygrometer, essential for the traveller in a strange hotel) and, just to double check whether or not I've finally lost my marbles, a phrenology head like the one illustrated here.
Dr Franz Josef Gall
"You want your bumps feeling," she said when I told the Business Manager of my plan to buy the other day.
Precisely, said I. And thanks to Dr Franz Josef Gall, a diagnosis shouldn't be a problem.
It was he who, in 1796, devised a system for assessing a person's capabilities by studying the shape of their skull. He called the study Phrenology.
It was based on two assumptions, one since scientifically confirmed: that particular human faculties are to some extent localised in particular areas of the brain; the other, subsequently debunked: that the size of these areas can be felt via the bumps on your head.
However, at the time the latter was a popular theory that was taken deadly seriously. Even up to the beginning of this century, it was believed there was a connection.
As a result, thousands of white glazed earthenware pottery heads - the scalp printed with a kind of road map to the 30odd zones where Dr Gall decided one's faculties were located - were a common sight in doctors' and psychiatrists' surgeries.
The most common stand just under a foot tall and date from the latter part of the 19th century when an American called L.N. Fowler - his name was printed on the front - took up the cause.
Presumably the psychiatrist would have had the thing on his desk to refer to as he ran his fingers over the patient's head.
Other more rare examples were manufactured in porcelain for the tops of sealing wax seals, while slightly larger versions doubled as inkwells.
Such heads were snapped up eagerly some years ago and prices for the larger desk top versions were around the £1,000 mark.
However, their saleroom success prompted a flood of fakes onto the market, some of which were (and still are) notoriously difficult to spot.
As a result, prices slipped and remain somewhat depressed by comparison with, say, five years ago. Expect to pay currently around the £350-450 mark for a right 'un.
If I did, I suspect there'd be an extra bump on my head ... where the glass hammer she was wielding had caught me a glancing blow!
American brothers Lorenzo Niles Fowler (1811-1896) and Orson Squire Fowler (1809-1887) travelled extensively lecturing for free and examining heads for a fee. Their sister, Charlotte, and Lorenzo Fowler's wife, Lydia, became notable phrenologists, and they subsequently opened an office in New York, establishing the Phrenological Cabinet, displaying casts, skulls, charts, and other curiosities of the movement.Branches of the Cabinet were opened in Boston and Philadelphia.
In 1843, Charlotte Fowler married a medical student, Samuel Roberts Wells, who then entered into partnership with his brothers-in-law, forming the publishing house of Fowler and Wells. The firm produced thousands of copies of phrenological texts and they sold, cranial casts, and the famous L.N. Fowler heads
Phrenology heads were made in America and some were no doubt imported to the UK. However, the majority of those found today were probably made by Charles Collinson & Son, a sanitaryware maker in the Potteries town of Burslem. They date from the third quarter of the 19th century.
However, for every right example that turns up in auction sale, antique shop or fair, there are literally hundreds of fakes doing the rounds. The easy way to spot such duffs is to put one side by side with an original - the differences are obvious. Look for unlikely glaze cracking patterns and be wary if the lines of cracking appear to be too black. Faked cracking is easy to spot. Check the weight - fakes are much lighter. Is the gold convincing? Again, modern 'gold' decoration is nowhere near as good as the original. Is the thing too perfect? Age means wear and damage, fakes are usually in good condition. Ask for a guarantee. No guarantee, no sale.
Pictures show: top, Ink heads: These phrenology heads are also inkwells. They date from the 1860s and were probably made in Staffordshire. Note the central dipping hole and the holes left and right to hold pens when not in use
Below: left to right, Scientific journals made many wild claims about the significance of phrenology and the study of the shapes of heads, as this contemporary print proves - no matter who might have been upset by the "findings"
A Charles Collinson L.N. Fowler phrenology head worth £350-450
The craze for phrenology spread to the advertising world, as these trade cards for hatter Pryor proves. The cards is worth a few pounds

I have an original phremology bust that used to belong to my grandmother. I was wondering how current the valuation on this site is and what it would be worth today?

The sample dataset
In order to make it easier to learn and practice Envision, we provide the following two sample datasets. These dataset are not real data, but we have made significant efforts to make sure it is similar to the data that can be found in a real-world supply chain. All the code snippets provided in the following are expected to work when applied to these dataset.
Dataset overview
The dataset represents the historical data of a small fictitious retailer. The dataset includes multiple tabular files formatted as flat text files.
The sample dataset contains the following files:
This dataset includes many interesting pieces of information such as product categories, stock levels, selling and purchasing prices, lead times, etc. It is also representative of the data that can typically be obtained from a company that uses a not-too-ancient ERP.
Using the dataset
You can use the links above to download the TSV files. Then, go to the Files tab of your Lokad account, create a folder named /sample – the path /sample is the convention that we follow in the rest of the documentation, and re-upload these files into this newly created folder. Your Lokad account should look like this:
Dataset details
In this section, we document all the fields contained in the sample datasets' different files.
This file contains the list of products sold by the retailer along with relevant attributes at the product level.
This file contains the historical sales data disaggregated down to the transaction level, as the client identifiers are also provided.
This file contains the historical purchase orders data disaggregated down to the transaction level of every shipment.
This file contains the list of suppliers with their respective properties. On purpose, this file is not indexed by an Id column but by a Supplier column.
This file contains the list of bundles with their respective composition. The purpose of this file is to illustrate how Envision can cope with bills of materials.

How to Stop Masturbation?
Please help me. Im addicted to it.
Salaam Alaykum,
Although there is no specific remedy to it, I urge you to increase your piety and taqwa.
You should also consider the potential medical and social harm of it.
Good friendship, attending religious programs, keeping yourself busy in work and sports etc are temporary solutions to it. Marriage when possible, is the only long term solution to it.

Business model
What is an impact-driven business model and how can it benefit you?
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur the contributors are theirs.
When we think of a diverse business model, it’s almost always followed by thoughts of multiple streams of income. It sounds wonderful. Wouldn’t we all like the money to come from many different sources? Better yet, let some of those sources be passive income streams and we can just sit back and watch the money roll in, right? It doesn’t work exactly like that, however.
If you’re like many entrepreneurs, you’re probably spending a lot of your time and energy on parts of your business that you intend to be future income streams that aren’t quite paying off yet. These can be efforts that are not currently making money, but are what you intend to be the future of your business and your main sources of income.
For example, take the consultant-turned-author who aspires to speak on big stages by giving keynote speeches. Now we know it will take time to achieve this lofty goal. In the meantime, a disproportionate amount of time and energy is going to be spent trying to get those gigs when it makes very little money in the short term.
Or take the launch of a new product or service that you are sure will eventually pay off. Maybe it’s marketing efforts like an ongoing newsletter, a podcast, or writing a book, all of which require a huge amount of time and effort before they pay off.
Unlike a revenue-driven business model where you base your decisions on where to invest your efforts in proportion to what brings in money, an impact-driven business model spends your time, energy and resources to the impact you want to make in your business and confident that the money will follow.
This is an important distinction because without realizing the difference, many entrepreneurs and business owners wonder if they are wasting their time because the effort they put in and the time they spend spend far outweigh income. With a traditional revenue-driven model, you prioritize by revenue. With an impact-driven business model, you prioritize the work you want to do and the difference you want to make, even if the income isn’t there yet. An impact-driven business model is especially important today, as more and more people are driven by passion and purpose and need a business model that reflects that.
However, their efforts are not entirely driven by passion, giving up future income. In fact, the intention is that this effort will eventually lead to substantial revenue. The problem is that as long as people believe they should focus on a revenue-driven business model, they’re going to wonder if they’re wasting their time or feel like their business model is broken, because traditionally businesses focus on revenue first. . Don’t get me wrong – Income is imperative to a healthy and profitable business. But today, many more business models seem to be impact-driven. Lead with impact, trust the money will follow.
What’s important about this is knowing where to put your time and effort right now. With an impact-driven business model, it’s normal, even expected, that you’ll put more effort into growing this part of your business than the revenue it currently generates. If you’re focusing on a revenue-driven business, you’ll likely make very different decisions about where to focus your efforts.
This shift from revenue-driven business models to impact-driven business models is likely due in part to those building businesses today: older business owners (middle-aged people, perhaps we say), people who have left their jobs in recent years or the millions who would be considered part of the great resignation and begin their entrepreneurial adventure a little later in life. They are business owners who are driven to make a difference in the world, to impact an audience that matters to them, and to bank seriously because they still have a long life ahead of them. Yet they are also patient. They’re here for the long haul, so leading with impact makes sense. They know the money will follow.
So when planning your year and the future years of your business, it can be a good idea to adopt an impact-driven business model. When presenting your current and future revenue streams, consider that where you are putting your efforts today may not yet be where you expect the most revenue.
I like to think of it as levers on a control panel. Be clear on the levers you want to accelerate and put in more effort, proportional to the impact you want to have. And what levers do you want to moderate or lower, because those income streams, maybe even large income streams, just don’t require that much effort right now? This way you make decisions based on effort and impact and not just income, confident that income will follow. Considering it is a control panel, you can increase and decrease any effort at any time. What I believe this provides is clarity as to where to invest your time, effort, and energy.
If you make all your decisions based on the efforts that bring you the most income, you can make money, but have you achieved your real goals? Did you have the impact you wanted to have?
With an impact-driven business model, you get the best of both worlds: the satisfaction of knowing you had the impact you wanted to have and ultimately being rewarded financially with a strong revenue stream.

Za’atar is the Arabic name for wild thyme (thymbra spicata). But it is also the name of one of the most flavoursome herb and spice mixes from the countries of the Middle East. Its constituents varies from region to region. At its simplest it is thyme or oregano mixed with sumac, toasted sesame seeds, and salt. However, it can also contain any mixture of thyme, oregano and marjoram, savoury, cumin, ground caraway seeds, corriander and chilli flakes. It will always contain some aromatic herb, salt and sumac.
Za’atar, both the herb and the condiment, is popular in Algeria, Armenia, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, and Turkey
Za’atar (zahatar or zaatar) can be used in a multitude of ways. I like to use it in salads to add a piquant, herby, spicy tangy taste. It is used to dress labneh (extra strained Greek yoghurt); mixed with olive oil and spread on Arabic flat bread before being grilled for 5-10 min; sprinkled over hummus or baba ganoush; sprinkled into a little heated olive oil before being poured over brine-less olives.
Rhea Yablon Kennedy tells us that you can add it to spinach turnovers and pizza, and that for a savory supper, the mixture can be added to marinades for grilled or roasted vegetables. Za’atar seasoning, she says, can even go festive in a party dip:
‘Start with a labneh and za’atar combination (mix together), then add fresh garlic, feta cheese, and olive oil. Puree in a food processor, allow to chill for a few hours, and serve with pita chips and vegetable crudites.’

Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award
The Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award
I was tagged for this blogging challenge, created 'to recognise the unique voices of women bloggers around the world', by the lovely Ashleigh of Loving My Finley. The rules of the game are simple:
☆ Thank the blogger who tagged you and link back to their blog.
☆ Answer the 10 questions given to you.
☆ Nominate 10 bloggers.
☆ Write 10 questions for your nominees to answer.
Read on for my answers.
1. Name one thing in your life up until now you’ve mostly regretted.
I try not to regret things, because it's such a negative thing to do. I do wish I'd kicked up more of a fuss over my orthadontist's decision not to remove any teeth before fitting my brace as a teen. All of my front teeth have pushed themselves back out of line over the last few years. :(
2. Name one thing in your life up until now you are proud of.
Graduating from Cambridge. It was a long, hard slog!

Me, Kathryn and Amy on graduation day.
3. What’s your best Blogging achievement to date? Why is it your best?
Getting to #191 in the Tots100. My goal for this year was to get into the top 200, so to reach it in just February made me really happy.
4. If I was to give you £1 million right now, what would be the first thing you buy?
A house. It would be great not to have to worry about paying rent ever again.
5. What’s your most Favourite food and drink?
French fries and strawberry milkshake.
6. What are you doing right this moment? (Besides from typing this out, obviously!)
Watching Dr Who and playing 'twinkly hands' (literally just holding your hand in the air and waggling your fingers) with Marianna.
Marianna in sunglasses
Marianna having a chilled out afternoon.
7. If you got given three wishes, what would you wish for? (And no, you can't wish for more wishes. That’s cheating!)
World peace, a cure for cancer and, because by that point I'd be sick of being selfless, lots and lots of money.
8. What animal did you have as your first pet, and what was its name?
I had a goldfish named Ariel, like the little mermaid.
9. What is your favourite thing to do in your spare time? Besides from blogging, of course.
I like to read. You can check out my most recent reads HERE.
10. Lastly, tell me a random fact about yourself.
I have a weird phobia of chalk, and all chalk like substances. It's the powdery feel of them that goes through me. There are another seven more random facts about me HERE.
If you want to take part, please do! I'm leaving the tags open so if you feel like answering my questions, please just let me know so I can pop over and read your answers, and edit this post to include a link. If you're not blogging, feel free to answer any or all of the questions in the comments. :)
My ten questions are:
1. If you were the opposite sex, what would your name be? (It could be what your parents chose, or just a name you like.)
2. What was the worst movie you've ever seen?
3. Beach holiday or adventure getaway?
4. If you owned a shop, what would it sell?
5. What was your first job?
6. If your life was a TV show, what would be the theme tune?
7. Do you have any allergies?
8. Maths or Math?
9. What is your favourite fairy tale?
10. What do you think it (your favourite fairy tale) says about you?

How to Use Airsoft Grenade Effectively
Now, for Airsoft grenades, not everybody’s gonna use them, some people will. If you decide to go with an Airsoft grenade, the very first thing you should always remember is not to have it hanging off of you in a way to where it can go off on you. You wanna keep it secured inside of a pouch, inside of your pocket, wherever. Just as long as the pin is not sticking out, so it can’t get snagged on anything. I have my grenade in the drop pouch right here. A good technique for throwing the grenade, hold the grenade at your chest in your throwing arm. I’m left handed, I’m gonna hold it in my left hand. I’m gonna hold it up to my chest, I’m gonna grab the pin with my right. I’m gonna pull the pin. That grenade is not actuated until I let go of the spoon. Once I let go of the spoon, the grenade will be armed. When throwing the grenade, you basically just throw it like a baseball. Whatever distance you want, however far you wanna throw it.

Can the Bamboo management server (download version) run on EC2?
We've had to move to the download version from our trial of Bamboo onDemand for various reasons.
Wondering if we can run the download version on EC2? Has anyone done this? Issues?

Accepted answer
We have passed on this idea, not enough user experience. Installing in our colo instead.
It's *possible*. You would need a higher tier instance and more if you are running local agents. It all depends on your usage etc. It's been done before.
It might be better with a higher spec VPS or an Atlassian hosting partner etc.
Thanks. The hosting partner angle is one I hadn't considered. Just trying to find the closest solution to onDemand, but with remote agents.
If you need an OnDemand alternative, best to get Atlassian hosting service to manage the whole set. This is something we do, if interested, contact us @ for a custom solution. We currently host many Atlassian products for users that don't fit OnDemand.
There are also others to choose from. Depends on your needs.

Rewind Wednesday – Video Game Addiction: Level 1
Video game addiction is a topic that flares up just about as often as the devastating Southern California wild fires. Which is to say that every year the words “video games” and “addiction” get tossed into the media blender. Unquestioningly accepted as truth, the case for video game addiction is built upon statements such as, ”My son plays My Little Pony’s Adventures in 128 Bit Land x-amount of hours, he must be an addict!” Is it fair though to compare video games to something as addictive as sex, drugs or alcohol? Take a look at the following DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4th edition) Diagnostic Criteria for Alcohol Dependence entry below:
A maladaptive pattern of alcohol use, leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, as manifested by three or more of the following seven criteria, occurring at any time in the same 12-month period:
1. Tolerance, as defined by either of the following:
• a) A need for markedly increased amounts of alcohol to achieve intoxication or desired effect.
• b) Markedly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount of alcohol.
2. Withdrawal, as defined by either of the following:
• a) The characteristic withdrawal syndrome for alcohol (refer to DSM-IV for further details).
• b) Alcohol is taken to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms.
3. Alcohol is often taken in larger amounts or over a longer period than was intended.
4. There is a persistent desire or there are unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control alcohol use.
5. A great deal of time is spent in activities necessary to obtain alcohol, use alcohol or recover from its effects.
7. Alcohol use is continued despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or exacerbated by the alcohol (e.g., continued drinking despite recognition that an ulcer was made worse by alcohol consumption).
Now, I can see how video game “addiction” can be compared to alcohol dependence. There are many similarities:
• The Time Escalation Component: Where the gamer increases his gaming time as he becomes more engrossed in the game.
• Withdrawal Symptoms: Especially from games that employ the “carrot on a stick” philosophy (“just have to get to the next level…”).
• Gaming Culture: Checking out video game web sites through out the day. Reading the latest walkthrough and immersing oneself into the particular game’s community.
• The Social Sacrifice: Family, friends and loved ones fall to the wayside as the gamer becomes more immersed in the game. This, in my opinion, is when things become a problem. The gamer has lost any sort of balance between the digital and the real. Welcome to the world of escapism.
What do you think?
• Are video games and alcohol on the same level?
• Do we overuse the word addiction?
• Is this a matter of what society deems acceptable?
• Could you apply what was written above to your favorite hobby?
Leave a comment below and let me know.

Random bits of information by a developer
28 April 2009
Dependency Primer
Every software project has dependencies: your own resources, your own APIs you've created, third party APIs and projects, etc. We've all had to deal with them at some point in our career. Recently while playing with Gradle (www.gradle.org) I've come to a realization about how they should be handled correctly. In this post, I'll talk about the two most prominent kinds of dependencies, their scopes, and where they fit into an application. I will not be discussing packaging or how the different scopes must be resolved to create a distributable / deployable artifact. Being a Java developer this is seen from within the Java space, but the concepts are universal to all software projects.
Dependency Types
There are basically two types or categories of dependencies: first level and transitive. First level dependencies are those resources that your application directly relies upon. Examples of first level dependencies include the language in which the project is written, entities your project directly uses such as an XML parser, images, and classes from a third party project. Transitive dependencies are dependencies of your first level dependencies. An example from the Java world could be commons-logging which is dependent on some logging implementation, commonly log4j or JDK logging. For commons logging the log implementation is a first level dependency, but for your project it's a transitive dependency. Another example may be an SAX XML parser (or any other XML parsing API). The SAX API is used directly by your project and is therefore a first level dependency, but it requires an implementation, possibly Xerces, which would be a transitive dependency of your project. This definition of dependencies has really been ingrained in me while using and trying Gradle (a build system [yes, another one] written in Groovy). In the past I've used Maven or Ivy (basically as a Maven alternative, but it does much more in the world of dependencies). Maven introduced me to the concept of transitive dependencies and how they fit into it's life cycle and therefore your project's life cycle. I owe a great deal to Maven for introducing me to the concepts, but Maven has a few blemishes (at least I think so) in the way it handles these different types of dependencies. Maven will by default (I don't think you can change this) include all of the transitive dependencies of the same scope in your classpath, which in my opinion, is incorrect. Here's an example taken from JSFUnit: pom.xml:
Dependency Tree:
[INFO] +- net.sourceforge.cssparser:cssparser:jar:0.9.5:compile
[INFO] | \- org.w3c.css:sac:jar:1.3:compile
[INFO] +- net.sourceforge.nekohtml:nekohtml:jar:1.9.9:compile
[INFO] | \- xerces:xercesImpl:jar:2.8.1:compile
[INFO] +- xalan:xalan:jar:2.7.0:compile
[INFO] | \- xml-apis:xml-apis:jar:1.0.b2:compile
For this project cssparser, nekohtml and xalan have been configured as first level dependencies, but the effective classpath contains their compile (first level) dependencies as well. If the project relies on these libraries it should state them explicitly and not rely on the crutch of having them as transitive dependencies. Ivy usage can fall into the same problem, but this is not the case in Gradle (at least not without changing the default), which I believe is the correct way of handling first level dependencies. With Gradle the compile scoped (more in the next section) is not resolved transitively, so you'll have compile time errors if you have not declared a needed dependency.
Life cycle Scopes and Dependencies
The build life cycle for a software project can be distilled into three phases: compile (if needed), test, and runtime. Test is a little special because it contains two phases itself: testCompile and testRuntime, which are extensions of compile and runtime. So where do the different types of dependencies come into play? Your first level dependencies become your compile dependencies and runtime dependencies are pretty much your compile dependencies with transitive dependencies and a few other things that may be provided for you like container provided dependencies (though, those are arguably transitive dependencies of any third party dependency) such as a messaging provider, an HTTP implementation, transaction support, etc. The test dependencies extend compile and possibly runtime, and add their own dependencies for testing: a testing framework, mocking framework, possibly a slimed down server, and others, which of course would be first level dependencies for your tests.
To recap, there are two different kinds of dependencies: first level and transitive. First level are dependencies needed to build an run your project. Transitive dependencies are those dependencies of your dependencies. A software build life cycle essentially has three phases: compile, test, run. The compile phase should only use your first level dependencies. Runtime extends compile and is resolved transitively. Test extends both compile and runtime (though at different times) and uses its own dependencies as well. I hope this has been informative and helped others understand the relationship and distinction of dependencies and a software project.

Saturday, December 8, 2012 'Unabridged'
I'm going to start blogging about local 'events' I find on, that, once you 'delve' into them a little, expand enough of the 'topic' that shows something more interesting. I'll skip the dumbest Topix topics like "whose the biggest whore in town" (yes, it's there, all the time--complete with misspellings, and lack of punctuation.
Hopefully, by now WE'VE ALL HEARD the saying about 'opinions', what they're 'like', and that author's erudite conclusion with regards to both, by comparison.
My first topic will be the one that inspired the subject of this series of blogs.
The heading read:
Only one spelling error? Grammatically cogent? Plus, the entire sentence NOT ALL CAPS?
Turns out, it was a good, juicy story where somebody locally went to see their 'pain doc' on appointment, and arrived on time only to see a note posted on this doctor's door saying 'the doctor is OUT', only permanently, or at least indefinitely, and no real explanation. As in, there wasn't even time to notify current patients.
As with everything 'Topixable', people were throwing around statements, and someone loosely thew in one about a 'psycho ex-boyfriend' trying to 'ruin her'. Well, that was interesting, because psycho-ex's just don't have any real bearing on anything REAL, much less anything that would end a practicing local physician's career.
Unless there was a nasty relationship-ending fight involved, and things got messy and nasty.
They did.
We were all holding our collective breaths about the Answer to this one, until someone posted the link to the actual court document depicting pretty plainly the whole mess, and how the whole thing was thrown out of court, not due to anything 'he' said, or did, but because of what she tried to do, and actually did use, to destroy his life. The court decided that, 'crazy-or-no', his life trumped her career, and she cheated all the way to ruin him, too.
I read the document with the business acumen of a businessman investing a quarter of his entire holdings in a startup venture, and I totally agreed (yes, right on Topix!) with another commenter, about what actually happened, and it had nothing to do with defending the 'good doc's name, like the link-submitter had intended (most definitely because he hadn't read any of it). Instead, it not only 'cleared' the 'boyfriend' of things she'd been saying about him (by the way, these are adults we're talking about here--the usual).
The court doc was not only coherent, but actually well-written enough that anyone could follow it, in it's entirety. Sweet! That includes me! A real, actual, 'not-about-ME' court document to munch on before breakfast!
Gawmpch! In five minutes, I'd digested about 90% of it, and drew my conclusions based on what the judge had to say about it.
I totally agreed with that judge, one 'other commenter' on Topix, and left this on that article, for my trouble:
I totally agree; had something similar happen to me years ago, where my soon-to-be-ex was sleeping with everybody I knew at the time, then hastily concocted some scheme to DVO and EPO me into court to force a divorce; at the same time she was actively engaged in contacting her old doctor while she was 5 mos. pregnant with what was likely our child, in order to get back on HER head-meds, which almost certainly WOULD, and actually did, cause her pregnancy to terminate.
This 'bitch-doctor' (get it? instead of 'witch') was as bad on several levels: first, the court did decide to cancel out her falsely-ordered DVO, which she had gotten by LYING:
she lied about him hitting her, because she completely withdrew this statement later, along with an eye-witness, and also admitted to coaxing him into 'spending the night' with her (make-up sex gone bad) the very same night she alleged he 'hit her'.
One of her 4 allegations involved him 'throwing a candy bar' at her, which she tried to make into...well, a civil court case, anyway. I mean--was it a 'mounds', or 'almond joy'--the difference could kill you. Even GW knew how to dodge a well-aimed pair of shoes, apparently.
He had to fight her all the way legally, and did pretty well for himself, I might say, because it's pretty plain he was her 'butt-munch' while she slept around on him (trip to Florida--it's in that link)...and once he complained, he was 'done', in many different ways...she tried very hard to use the means at her disposal as a physician to RUIN HIS LIFE. For one thing, she used her doctor's 'KASPAR' account online to provide his entire medicinal history to the local court, in an attempt to slander the poor guy. (So much for HIPAA). "Selah".
I don't know either party, but I've been there, so God help him.
Apparently, God 'did' help him, because the poor sap won...his freedom maybe...but, we see again, not exactly free from users.
Just glad you gave the link--sorry to you that it totally proved to anyone at a reading level past that '5th grade plateau' we have around here, that this guy barely escaped with his freedom, and she really, really did try and ruin him--since his brother lived next door to her, he couldn't even stay there while she used everything--and likely, this being BG, everyONE--she could to destroy his life. I'm sure now she's trying to get him to commit suicide--it's a common thing around BG anymore.
People around here have very few workable ethics--I've dealt personally with several aspects of this 'case', a few over the past year alone.
BG is a great example of a mid-sized city with the small-town characteristics that make it like treading through quicksand every time someone craps on you just make it worse the harder you fight; I'll add though, this--at least dying in quicksand (I assume somewhere remote) you don't have a gaggle of TMZ-inspired locals gathered around you wishing they could also set you afire.

I need an algorithm (3D), which would determine if point belongs to a triangle. And also if it does I want to know the distance between some point in triangle and a another point. Triangles can be slightly rotated, but if point is outside triangles vertical reach then it should not be considered as inside the triangle.
Now I realize, my question probably doesn't make a lot of sense so here's the picture, which explains what I want.
enter image description here
Grey lines display, which way triangle is actually facing.
It's not actually that I want to check if a point is within a prism, but I after i find out if point lies within triangle (not exactly, might be on top of or below) then I need to find the distance between point and a triangle it belongs to. And depending on the distance function will finally return if that point is inside the triangle. A little inaccuracy is allowed. However, maybe I want to check if a point is within a prism, but do not know that. I am just horrible at math so I am not aware of correct terminology.

Is the question actually about triangles (2D objects) or prisms (3D objects). The pictures look like prisms. – Antti Huima Nov 30 '11 at 20:53
Are you trying to test if a point is inside a wedge? That's what it looks like... – Darren Engwirda Nov 30 '11 at 20:54
The most amazing collision detection tutorial ever is here: metanetsoftware.com/technique/tutorialA.html – Josh Bleecher Snyder Nov 30 '11 at 20:56
Does the prism always have a right triangle at the base? – James Kingsbery Nov 30 '11 at 20:57
I imagine all you have to do is take the X and Y coordinates of the point and test whether it lies inside the triangle of the side of the prism (as if it was just a 2D object). Then you would have to determine whether the Z coordinate of the point is between the lowest Z and the highest Z of the prism. – Marlon Nov 30 '11 at 20:59

This seems like the 3D equivalent of Data structure to query points which lie inside a triangle. You could use the same method in 3D: in 3D, a plane cuts the space in two halves: a point is either at one side of the plane or at the other side. The wedge-shape is a collection of planes: just combine the which_side_of_the_plane information for a given point with all the planes that build up the wedge.

This actually only works for simplex shapes (triangles in 2D, tetrahedra in 3D etc). If you have more complex elements (quads in 2D, prisms in 3D etc) these elements can be distorted to become non-convex, in which case the sign tests may not work (for a non-convex quad in 2D for instance, an inside point may actually be on the "wrong" side of an edge). One general solution is to decompose these higher order elements into simplex shapes (a quad into 2 trias for instance) and then use the tests you've described. – Darren Engwirda Nov 30 '11 at 21:39
It does work for non-convex shapes, but the boolean formula for constructing the inside() function from the separate comparisons will need more terms. (and not only "AND" terms, but "OR" terms as well) – wildplasser Nov 30 '11 at 21:50
@Darren is right, this will not work for concave shapes; but triangular prisms are never concave, so +1 from me. This works even if the prism is rotated or sheered. – BlueRaja - Danny Pflughoeft Nov 30 '11 at 22:57
@BlueRaja-DannyPflughoeft: actually, triangular prisms can be concave. If you considered a highly distorted prism, where one of the "end" triangles was rotated more than 90 degrees about its "base" edge you would have a concave (but non-self-intersecting) prism. I'm pretty sure that all non-simplex shapes can be distorted to be concave. – Darren Engwirda Nov 30 '11 at 23:13
I added example 2D code to the other topic. I handled the boolean logic by enumerating them into switch cases. – wildplasser Nov 30 '11 at 23:28
You can use a cylindrical version of barycentric coordinates. I've only checked this for prisms that rise perpendicular from the triangular base -- another way to put this is that we are orthogonally projecting the point into the plane defined by the triangle, and checking if it is inside or not.
If you want more details on the math ask (or better yet, try to figure it out yourself since it's a neat little exercise).
If our triangle is ABC (non-degenerate), then N = (B-A)x(C-A) (cross product) is a normal to the (unique) plane defined by the triangle. Call the point we want to test P.
Now calculate the value a' = N . ((P-B) x (P-C)) (where . is dot product). a' is the usual barycentric coordinate multiplied by N.N (which is positive).
Similarly, we find b' = N . ((P-C) x (P-A)) and c' = N . ((P-A) x (P-B)). If all three of 'a'', 'b'', and 'c'' are non-negative, then the projection of P is inside the triangle (if you want to exclude the triangle itself, then all three must be strictly positive).
share|improve this answer
This can be split into 2 problems.
1. Test that the point inside the 3-planes defined by the triangle sides.
2. Find the distance to the plane defined by the triangle normal.
(and use own logic to test if this distance is considered close or not).
Withe the example below, you can do a check, for eg:
if (isect_point_tri_prism_v3(p, v1, v2, v2) and
(dist_signed_squared_point_tri_plane_v3(p, v1, v2, v2) < (eps * eps)):
# do stuff
... where eps is the distance to consider points 'on the triangle'.
This code example uses functional Python so should be easy to move to other languages, it uses only simple arithmetic, no sqrt or complex functions.

# main functions
def isect_point_tri_prism_v3(p, v0, v1, v2):
Return True when the point is inside the triangular prism.
Zero area triangles always return false.
return (point_in_slice_v3(p, v0, v1, v2) and
point_in_slice_v3(p, v1, v2, v0) and
point_in_slice_v3(p, v2, v0, v1))
def dist_signed_squared_point_tri_plane_v3(p, v0, v1, v2):
Return the squared distance to the triangle,
positive values are 'in-front' of the triangle, negative behind.
(using CCW coordinate system - OpenGL).
Remove the 'copysign' call for the non-signed version.
(if you don't need to know which side of the triangle the point is on).
from math import copysign
n = cross_v3v3(sub_v3v3(v2, v1), sub_v3v3(v0, v1))
rp = sub_v3v3(p, v1)
len_sq = dot_v3v3(n, n)
side = dot_v3v3(rp, n)
fac = side / len_sq
return copysign(len_sq * (fac * fac), side)
