So I finally got an iPhone (yeah, I know, I know…).
I considered writing a post about the pros/cons of it, but there are just too many of those and frankly, we all already know what they are (I still can’t type well on that thing). By far the coolest thing about it is the App Store. While the app discovery interface is incredibly bad, the sheer number of cool apps is amazing (as you already know).
The thing that has me scratching my head this morning is how to make money in the app store.
It used to be that consumer software was purchased and installed. The software company created new versions from time to time, hopefully enticing you to purchase the latest and greatest. Support was either really cheaply provided or was charged for. In essence, the software company had little to no ongoing costs associated with previously shipped versions (occasional bug fixes were it). Ongoing revenue was from upgrades and new user acquisition. The company I work for (Intuit) is still partially there.
Then there were subscription models. Ongoing service for ongoing fees. Simple enough and very effective. My previous company (Homestead) did this all day long.
The apps in Apple’s app store (and I imagine every other mobile device’s app market) are a different financial model altogether. Case and point: my current #1 time waster, Words with Friends.
First, the model starts simply enough: it’s free with ads, and you pay $2.99 to get rid of the ads. OK, while the price is high relative to what most apps cost, this is a model proven to work. Check.
Then, it gets a bit strange. This is not a standalone application but includes a service that connects you to friends so you can play socially. That means we are getting ongoing services (and the company is incurring ongoing costs) with out any ongoing payment. Would the market accept an ongoing subscription to play Words with Friends? I don’t know, but it’s not prevalent in the culture of the app store currently to charge a subscription fee for a game.
Then, it gets really interesting. Again, this is a social game where the company is paying for servers for the game communication. That means that while their revenue grows linearly with the number of users who play, their costs grow linearly with the number of connections in the graph (the number of games played). Net results: their costs grow exponentially (roughly) as their revenue grows linearly.
The assumption has to be that the company makes enough money in the linear revenue to offset the exponential growth of the cost. I hope that’s true because I love the game.
But put it all together:
• You have a game that some users buy for $3 not monthly, not annually, but once. Ever.
• You have ongoing costs associated with maintaining servers.
• You have costs that grow faster than revenue.
In the short run, it works. But in the long run, what’s going to happen? At some point, revenue from the game will start to decline but costs will continue (fewer new users buy it, but existing users still play it). And at some point, it will become unprofitable for the company to maintain the servers for this game. Maybe they’ll shut it down, or more likely, try to move to a subscription model ($3/year?).
Clearly, other models work (e.g., Zynga), but I think this one in particular needs work to survive in the long run.

5. I have an 18 month old girl that still breastfeeds through-out the night
Avatar Member
Hi there, i have a 18 month old girl that still breastfeeds thru out the night (3-6 times in order to go back to sleep. i know she doesn`t `need` to, but i was wondering how i could get her out of this habit without too much crying as i have done cry it out a few times in the past..and each time i need to do it again she screams longer and LOUDER (like she’s getting murdered)
Thank you for your time
Answer: Firstly you need to understand why she wakes. Beacause she doesn`t know how to sleep without you. The comfort of the breast feed is her sleep assosciation. Second, changing a habit is never easy and to get your daughter sleeping independently means she needs to fall aslep on her own so when he wakes on her light sleep she can resettle herself. Imaging you have gone to sleep in your bed and you wake up in the bath you couldn`t go back to sleep without your bed and where you went to sleep. Same with babies that are rocked, cuddled, fed to sleep or transfered once asleep. It is a really heart breaking thing to teach a baby to sleep independently but if done correctly it can sometimes only take a week or so. My son was 12 months and he slept through from the first day of the program after having never slept through the night ever. This is why I help other parents today. Our program is not just about crying it out it offers strict techniques with a clear and repetitive message that it`s time to sleep. You can get an overview of our settling program from the Your Baby`s Sleep section of the Huggies site or for more detail, and a visual demonstration, It`s Time To Sleep DVD&BOOK. Cheers, Maree

Now, they have a place where they can come together and find people that love them for just being a clown. It seems to be a weird almost self-harming behavior the way some people consume hot food. This might be due to the fact that our bodies release feel good endorphins when our bodies are in pain. The more hot food we eat, the more pain we feel, the more endorphins are released creating almost a euphoria type feeling.
For those that love to consume hot, spicy food you can now meet other people that love it just as much. Together they can bask in all that hot deliciousness. The s and s gave birth to a wide variety of strange and unattractive trends. From unkempt beards to massive, teased hair, there is a reason that trends fade out and remain only as infamous memories from a long past decade.
However, the mullet has stuck around for some inexplicable reason. With a shortcut in the front and long hair in the back, it is a contradictory cut that is a glaringly outdated look. Even now, decades after the mullet was popular, people still have them, and they even have a place to come together. Mullet Passions is a free network where mullet wearers or mullet lovers can find friendship and love together. Even people with bad haircuts need to find love, too. Cats owners are one of the most devoted kinds of pet owners.
Purrsonals is just the place that cat fanatics can meet up to talk about their cats and maybe even go on a date, that is if they can leave their cats long enough. If not they can arrange cat play dates. Of all the weird obsessions out there on the internet, Star Trek lovers are actually pretty normal. Their is a huge subculture that has existed for decades that loves the space centered series. The series first aired in , and it is still inspiring movies today over 50 years later.
So it is really no surprise that people would want to meet and date other Star Trek loving people. The vast unknown is very interesting and to consider what secrets it holds is why so many are drawn to Star Trek. At Star Trek Dating people can nerd-out with each other over all the details of the show, movies, and space itself without feeling judged about their love of all things trekky. It takes a special type of person to work in the industry of dead people.

She met with Mormon missionaries and then what happened?
After she went to church, Taiwan Grandma started meeting with missionaries. Taiwan Mom had been asking her to meet with missionaries for forever, but Taiwan Grandma had never accepted the invitation until she came to church in September.
After a couple weeks of meeting with the missionaries, Taiwan Mom told me that Taiwan Grandma had decided to be baptized in December. I was surprised.
To be honest, I had been skeptical while Taiwan Grandma was meeting with the missionaries. From what I’d seen of her, she was an aloof person who liked to do her own thing. The people I’d taught and baptized on my mission were open and curious, excited to learn more about God and faith. When I’d gone to church with her, Taiwan Grandma hadn’t seemed very interested. So why was she getting baptized? I figured she was probably doing it to make Taiwan Mom happy.
So last weekend, Taiwan family and I drove down to Kaohsiung (where Taiwan Grandma lives) to see her baptism.
Turns out, I didn’t know the real Taiwan Grandma. At the baptism, she was bubbly, huggy, and super friendly to everyone who came. Taiwan Mom said she’d always been that way. I just hadn’t seen it because of the language and cultural barriers between us.
Her baptism was very cool. She said that she chose to be baptized so that she could be with her family for forever.
I think that people who aren’t familiar with Latter-day Saints assume that missionaries are basically salespeople taught how to give a sales pitch about joining the Mormon church.
But, in reality, the only way to be an effective missionary (or be an effective ANYTHING) is to be yourself and care about other people. I think in the past missionaries were pretty wooden, but nowadays, there’s a huge emphasis on being natural, really believing what you’re teaching, and listening to what people say. (To watch a cool documentary about what it’s like to be a Mormon missionary, click here.)
The missionaries who taught Taiwan Grandma were both Taiwanese, which is super cool since she speaks more Taiwanese (a dialect widely spoken here) than Mandarin.
What a good way to start out the New Year! Taiwan Grandma got baptized and I realized that even though I’m a “world traveler,” language and cultural barriers still prevent me from seeing some really cool things. I still have so much to learn, man!
That’s me, Taiwan Brother (he baptized her), and Taiwan Grandma.

Dear Future Russian Missionary
When I submitted my mission papers, of course there were places I would have liked to serve — England, Australia, SPAIN (ugh, little brothers) — but I was okay serving anywhere. I didn’t have very many friends on missions, so I didn’t have to compare whether or not I was going some place “cool.” I was okay serving anywhere — EXCEPT Russia or Asia (which, ironically …). The cultures of those places didn’t interest me and the languages seemed impossible to learn (which, ironically …).
So when I got the call, I called my twin sister Meredith (who was graduated from college and married and pregnant and WE’RE NOT REALLY TWINS) and our conversation was basically, “Russia for two years … that sucks.”
But I knew the call was from God. The Russian people needed the gospel just like everyone else on the planet, even if they had a weird culture and language.
As I prepared to enter the MTC everyone had something to say about what life as a Russian missionary would be like:
“They don’t like Americans over there.”
“You’re going to see poverty like you’ve never seen before.”
“They don’t smile over there.”
“The people are hard to crack, but they’re real nice on the inside.”
“They’re all communists over there.”
“You’re going to be in the MTC for 12 weeks?!” — it’s 9 weeks now — “That’s torture!”
“You won’t get a whole lot of baptisms over there.”
Or my favorite from a lady who captured everything she knew about Russia in one sentence: “Cold Russian wind blowing through Red Square … Stalin!”
None of this really scared or surprised me since I already figured I might die. But the only piece of useful advice I got came from brother-in-law who’d actually served his mission in Russia. He told me to go without any preconceived assumptions. I didn’t know what it would be like to live outside the US or be a missionary, so it was better to figure my new life out as it happened than to expect the best or the worst.
And he was right! There was so much on my mission I saw and experienced that I would have overlooked if I had been expecting to see something else.
For example, on the bus from the airport to the US embassy, I saw real Russians walking down the street, laughing and smiling, holding hands and talking. These weren’t the tough-to-crack, communist drones I’d heard about. They were real people who laughed and smiled just like Americans. If I had only expected to see unsmiling faces and unhappy people, I wouldn’t have noticed their smiles.
Russia was a lot safer (although still crazy) than I expected it to be. My previous notion of dying on my mission had been based more on ignorance than bravery.
And when you get down to it, everybody who told me about Russia had never actually been there (everyone except my brother-in-law). Everything they knew about Russia, they’d learned from Cold War politics (which are still alive) and James Bond movies (which are also still alive). They knew as much about Russia as you do right now.
So prepare yourself by being willing to see what very few Americans will ever see or believe: that Russians are normal people.
Rant #1 in the series Rants About Russia.
If you have any questions about serving in Russia (what to pack, etc.), hmu on my contacts page. I’ll be posting more about it too.
Faithful Muslims
It was the 4th of July and I was less than a month from finishing my mission in Russia. I’d managed to survive this long without getting beat up, which I attributed to street smarts and God loving me just a little bit more than other missionaries.
But I’d done something dumb: I’d “accidentally” punched some drunk dude who’d been holding my greenie comp’s arm and wouldn’t let go. Punching him hadn’t been smart, but the drunk had been getting angry (like drunks do) and I thought it’d be the easiest/fastest way to get rid of him. Anyone who’s actually ever been punched by me knows I hit like a girl, but this punch was more of a shove and was just enough for me to loosen his grip and pull my comp away.
But then we had to run. Running from a single drunk dude is pretty easy since he can barely walk in a straight line, but my hit-and-run had brought enough attention to us that a group of men from an outdoor bar were also chasing us. I guess they were only a bit buzzed because they were catching up to my companion who was behind me.
“They’re gonna kill us!” I kept shouting, hoping it would scare my companion enough to run faster. I was scared enough to run five miles, but he was tired.
I heard them tackle my companion to the ground as they caught him. I turned around, not thinking, knowing I had to somehow pull them off and get both of us out of there before they did too much damage.
It was actually only one guy who’d pulled my companion to the ground and he wasn’t hitting him yet. He was just asking (in Russian), “What happened? Why are you running?” In my head I was like, “Really? You tackled my companion only because you wanted to know why we were running?” (I still don’t understand that logic.) But what I said (in my scared, broken Russian) was, “We have to go! We have to go!” not knowing how to explain the situation quickly in Russian. But he wouldn’t let go, not satisfied with my answer. His friends from the bar were catching up and I didn’t want to be surrounded by a gang of semi-drunk Russians.
Just then more people caught up to us. It was a gang of brown dudes, not drunks from the bar. They made the drunk guy let go of my companion and asked in English what happened. I pointed and said, “You see that guy back there?” — by now the first drunk was a distant, stumbling figure across the road — “He wants to kill us and we have to go!” They actually didn’t understand English very well, but they understood enough to know we hadn’t done anything wrong. They stopped the other drunk Russians from getting to us and followed us halfway home to make sure we were safe.
Aside from a ripped shirt and scraped arm, my companion was fine. We laid on the apartment floor for ten minutes to recover from our run, then called the zone leaders to tell them our crazy story. They laughed and were like, “That’s it? You should try Saratov” (a city in our mission further south).
A couple weeks later, my companion and I ran into one of the brown dudes who saved us. He asked how we were and if we’d had any more trouble. We talked to him a bit. Found out he was a Muslim serving his mandatory military service in Togliatti (the city where we lived; all male Russian citizens have to serve in the army for a year or something). He was a real cool guy, just like almost every other Muslim I talked to during my two years in Russia.
Muslims were consistently some of the nicest people in my mission. They weren’t all nice, but none of them were dangerous. In fact, the safest city in the mission was a city that was predominantly Muslim.
I feel a connection to Muslims because of my mission. Every time I meet one, I say the typical Muslim greeting as-salamu alaykum (Allah’s peace be upon you), to which they respond, Wa-Alaikumus-Salaam (And upon you the peace).
I feel like very few of the people who blame terrorist attacks on the Muslim faith have ever met a Muslim. I can’t remember ever meeting a Muslim or even seeing a mosque in America, so I don’t blame them for not knowing a lot about the faith. But I want them to know:
1. Muslims are our brothers and sisters in God even if they call him another name.
2. Whether terrorist attacks are carried out by militant Muslims or militant Mormons makes no difference to me. In either case, the attackers are not doing what their religion teaches.
3. On the 4th of July in Russia, I was saved by a group of Muslims.
Fancy in Taiwan
Life here in Taiwan is just like life back there in America. I have a Taiwan Mom and a Taiwan Dad and they feed me and take me places and tell me I’m the most handsome. We live in our Taiwan house, which is really a two-story apartment on the top floor of a really tall apartment building, just the three of us. We just need a Taiwan dog and Taiwan 4 cats and everything will be perfect.
Me, Taiwan Mom, and Taiwan Dad (I’m the one in blue).
I got here Saturday and things have been going 100% smoothie … smoothly. Taiwan Mom and Dad’s kids are all grown, so it’s just us in the apartment. “Mom” is the lady who had me and some other white kids come in July to teach English for a couple weeks. She’s hecka nice and so is her husband and they’re legit like my real parents (Taiwan Dad gave me dating advice the first day I got here).
Taiwan church is nift. It’s all in Chinese, so I don’t understand 100% of it, but I do understand the words wo men (we) and nu-guh (um), which they say A LOT, so I’m getting there.
An LDS hymnbook with characters and pinyin.
Today I found out what my job is. I’ll be teaching six classes of kids aged kindergarten to high school how to read, write, listen to, and speak English. The teachers have given me my textbooks and lesson plans, but they’re basically like, “You’re gonna mess up a lot, so just send the kids to us when they annoy you.”
They’re going to learn the best, most useful English from me.
So I’m nervous butt excited to start my new life. It’s raining a lot, I’m exploring a lot, and I think my hair looks great. Things are A++++.

Why it’s worth going to Russia.
Almost six years ago today, I got my mission call to serve in Russia. When I first realized I would be serving in Russia, I was like, “Crap. Russia.” I didn’t want to go to Russia. The language seemed super hard, the culture and history didn’t seem very interesting, the people never smiled, and I knew it would be a challenge living in a country that had no technology, not even have cars or indoor plumbing.
When I got there in November 2009, I started learning what Russia was actually like.
No technology
First, there ARE cars and indoor plumbing. Before I went to Russia, I thought horses were still the main mode of transportation (the only things I knew about Russia, I’d learned from Fiddler on the Roof and Anastasia, so can you blame me????), but after being in Russia for a day I quickly realized that cars, indoor plumbing, and even light bulbs are just as common in Russia as they are in America. In fact, the biggest cities and tallest buildings I’ve ever seen are in Russia, so it is definitely just as modern and developed as America.
Unfriendly people
Everyone in America told me that Russians never smiled and were a pretty tough people to befriend. HOWEVER, some of the FIRST THINGS I saw in Russia were couples walking outside holding hands and SMILING, friends walking around together and SMILING, and people just looking like normal people, not like the communist robots I’d heard about. I realized that most of the Americans who’d told me about Russia had never actually been there, so how would they know what Russians are actually like?
Russia is effing cold. I had heard the word “cold” before my mission, but never actually knew what it meant. I’d lived in California basically my whole life, so the coldest I’d ever felt was, like, 32°F. When I got to Russia, winter was just starting, so it was 32ish°, which I thought was the coldest it could ever be. I was so cold, I wore two scarves: one for my neck and the other for my face. People told me I looked like a Muslim woman.
They’d laugh and say, “You know it’s going to get colder, right?” and I’d laugh and say, “That’s not even possible, right?” But it did get colder. The coldest I ever felt was -40° (which is where Fahrenheit and Celsius meet), but that wasn’t typical. -5°F to -15°F was pretty normal. Cold, but livable.
I learned to enjoy the cold, so much so that when I went back to Russia after my mission, I made sure to go during the winter. To me, Russia isn’t Russia if your nose hairs don’t freeze.
Hard language
Yeah, Russian’s hard, at least for me, no getting around that. The alphabet only takes, like, two weeks to learn, but actually speaking the language sucks butt. However, I think being able to understand is much more important than being able to express yourself. Listening for the few words I understood and paying attention to context went a long way in helping me understand what people were saying to me. And, since I had a mission companion, I could rely on him to say what needed to be said.
So the language is daunting, but it isn’t everything.
Uninteresting history and culture
So Russians may not be the cold-hearted people that Americans make them out to be, but they certainly have a colorful history. They’ve existed as a people for nearly 1,000 years, so of course they’ve had some super interesting stuff happen. They were invaded by Huns, they drove the Huns out, they had fake tsars the people elected, they had real tsars the people killed, they had fake tsars they elected then decided to kill, they have beautiful literature and art, they had communism, they sent the first man into space, they had Stalin, they have Putin, and BORIS NEMTSOV WAS SHOT FIVE DAYS AGO OH MY GOSH WHERE IS THE TRUTH AT? So, interesting stuff.
Of course, I didn’t know a lot of this while I was actually living in Russia since I was busy doing the WORK OF THE LORD, but I learned it in college after and it explained a lot of what I’d seen on my mission. So definitely take a Russian history course if you get the chance, especially if you’ve been to Russia before and you’re wondering “What the eff???”
So I ended up having a blast in Russia. I finished my mission three and a half years ago, but I really wanted to go back, so that brings us to the next part of this story ….

Which leads to congestion in the ears?
Congestion in the ears is a hearing impaired, mute your voice, ambient sounds, and pain in the head. As a rule, the reason for this phenomenon is the difference between the level of air pressure in the middle ear and atmospheric pressure.
The most common reasons for which your ears are:
inflammation of the Eustachian tube;
- the acute form of otitis media;
- the formation of cerumen in the ear;
- foreign body;
- pathology of the nasal septum;
- rhinitis;
- long-term use of certain drugs;
- swelling of the ear canal.
Swelling occurs during deep dives, at the takeoff or landing of the aircraft.
Ways to eliminate congestion in the ears
Congestion diagnose an audiologist during a patient examination and conduct basic tests: audiogram and tympanometry. After diagnosis require compulsory treatment to the disease did not hit other organs. In the absence of treatment, the person may completely lose their hearing function.
If the ears during air travel, the treatment consists of cleansing nasal passages and using drops for the nose. After that, the human condition is normalized and unpleasant symptoms are removed.
When injected into the ear canals of water or other fluid, carefully clean the canals with a cotton swab. In any case it is impossible to push the stick deeply, as this may damage the eardrum.
If nasal congestion is the result of a deviated nasal septum, to get rid of it surgically. Correction of the shape of the partition leads to the elimination of congestion in the ears.
Inflammatory processes disrupt auditory function. In this case, the specialist prescribes ear drops, adding to the warming treatment with blue light. It is important to remember that when inflammation of the skin in the external auditory canal with warm compresses and heat treatments are absolutely contraindicated, as the state deteriorates significantly. As treatment photodynamic therapy that exerts bactericidal and fungicidal action on the affected organ.
Colds to relieve you, if you follow the recommendations:

What Does Female Empowerment Mean?
By Dennis Prager
September 25, 2018 5 min read
My last column elicited tens of thousands of comments — from the thoughtful to the sick — on the internet and Twitter. In the column, I made two points. One was that the accusation made against Judge Kavanaugh — for which there is no evidence, that was made by an anti-Trump activist, that concerns an event that allegedly took place in high school 35-plus years ago at an unidentified time and place, that has been either denied or not substantiated by the other named individuals who were allegedly present, and that is against a man known for an entire adulthood of exceptional moral decency — should have been ignored.
I noted that everything I have learned from a lifetime of teaching the Bible and religion led me to value the notion of positively assessing people who may have sinned when young but have led a truly upright life for a long time as adults. As I asked on my radio show, will people clamor to remove sainthood from St. Augustine because of his sinful life as young man?
The other point I made concerned the issue of women's empowerment. In this regard, I cited the statement released by Susanna Jones, head of Holton-Arms School, the private preparatory school for girls in Bethesda, Maryland, that Kavanaugh's accuser attended: "As a school that empowers women to use their voices, we are proud of this alumna for using hers."
To which I responded, "'Empowers women'? Please. ...
"My mother was groped by a physician. She told my father about it. My father told the physician that if he were to do it again, he would break his hands. And it remained a family folk tale. If you had told my mother she was a 'survivor,' she would have wondered what you were talking about. The term was reserved for people who survived Nazi concentration camps, Japanese prisoner of war camps and cancer survivors, not women groped by a man.
"When my wife was a waitress in her midteens, the manager of her restaurant grabbed her breasts and squeezed them on numerous occasions. She told him to buzz off, figured out how to avoid being in places where they were alone and continued going about her job. That's empowerment."
These two examples infuriated many people who charged me with excusing unacceptable male behavior against women, with trivializing sexual assault and worse.
So, allow me to explain what was obvious to the many who agreed with me and, apparently, not obvious to those who differed.
I never wrote or implied that groping women against their will is acceptable. My concern was with what constitutes empowerment. I believe, as I wrote, that feminism has not empowered women nearly as much as it has weakened them (and men).
I gave the examples of my mother and wife to provide examples of powerful women not allowing being groped to traumatize them — not as examples of acceptable male behavior. My mother was a very strong woman, a career woman who administered a 300-bed nursing home for decades. And my wife is a lawyer who left law to raise her late sister's children as well as her own. If there is a stronger individual than my wife, I have not met her or him.
I used them as examples of the ability of strong people, whether men or women, to withstand noxious behavior and move on with life, rather than wallowing in the self-pity, victimhood, anger, contempt for men, lies ("colleges have a culture of rape") and ingratitude (for living in one of the best countries, if not the best country, a woman can live in in the world today) that have permeated feminism from Betty Friedan to today.
How we react to life's vicissitudes is what defines empowerment.
The late columnist and commentator Charles Krauthammer was rendered a quadriplegic as a result of a diving accident while at medical school. From the day it happened, he decided he would live as normal a life as possible — and incredibly went on to graduate with his class. He never defined himself as a victim. By using Charles Krauthammer as an example of empowerment, have I negated the seriousness of being paralyzed from the neck down? Of course not. No more than I deny that the men who groped my mother and wife acted like pigs.
Why is that controversial?

1986 <--......-->

The Council for Mutual Security and Development, commonly referred to simply as COMSED, is a regional economic and military intergovernmental organization located primarily in the Kylarite continent of Coius. As of 2019, COMSED has TBD permanent members, TBD economic associates, and TBD observers. It is headquartered in Keisi, Senria.
The precursor to COMSED were the various cooperation agreements signed between Senria, Brumah, and Phula in economic and security fields. Deepening cooperation between the three led to the Treaty of Sakata signed in 1981 creating COMSED, and initially functioned primarily as a collective security arrangement. In subsequent decades, however, the organization's scope has expanded vastly, with full members having access to a free-trade area and intelligence and technology sharing, travel agreements and both full members and economic associates having access to a multilateral development bank, economic and financial support, university cooperation programs, and cultural exchange programs. The organization's stated purpose is "to promote in a multilateral and equitable fashion international diplomacy, commerce and development, liberalization, intercultural exchange, and security in Coius and Kylaris as a whole".
COMSED cooperates heavily with the Euclean Community and with international financial organizations such as GIFA. It has has traditionally been regarded as a rival to the IFDS and ROSPO, with which it competes for economic and military influence in Coius. COMSED maintains a global network of partners and associates, and is considered to be one of the most prominent organizations in Coius. COMSED is also one of the largest advocates of trade liberalization and democracy in Kylaris, underpinning much of the modern democratic order.
Members and associates
(the whole deal)
Economic associates
(most of the economic and cultural stuff without the military and espionage stuff)
(standard observers, y'know?)
COMSED's economic features are primary detailed through the Pan-Coian Treaty of Greater Economic Integration signed in 1990. The Treaty stipulates the following terms.
1. Signatories of the treaty should limit tariffs on the good of other members to at most 5%
2. Member industries should aim to source at least 30% of their materials from other members or aligned blocs
3. COMSED will have a common good and firm registry
4. COMSED will establish a list of preferred and unpreferred firms
5. Members are blacklisted from doing business with "unpreferred firms"
6. Members should attempt to reduce trade with countries that occupy member state territory
7. Member governments are not permitted to source goods and services related to national security from countries that occupy member state territory
8. Member governments are not allowed contract core infrastructure from firms not on the "preferred list"
9. Members should liberalize currency flows in between other member states

Legendz shuts down; Transferring all players and funds to Bookmaker
The Florida busts really hit Legendz hard. These guys just don't get it. They can't live in the country doing what they're doing.
Bookmaker stepping in.
More details coming...
Re: Legendz shuts down; Transferring all players and funds to Bookmaker
[TABLE="width: 682"]
[TABLE="width: 674"]
Dear customers,
Due to recent events surrounding Legends Sports? gaming license being revoked in Panama, Legends has ceased accepting wagers at this time.
WagerWeb looks forward to providing you with a stable wagering environment, and outstanding Customer Service.
Though this e-mail is circulating, there is no reason to believe the wagerweb is the book Legendz is transferring balances and clientele.
I believe wagerweb is simply trying to pull a fast one to get deposits and players; similar to what americas bookie aka 1VICE did after the SBR (Bet Islands) scandal.
Bookmaker is one of the biggest markets.
It is likely that if anyone is going to step in it will indeed be Bookmaker.
This is a big mess.
Anyone got a Legendz account? Apparently wagerweb is offering a 5x rollover on players accounts?
Is this considered a bail out? :HUH:
What the fuck happened with Bookmaker? They were supposed to see this through :shoot:

Pirate-fighting tactics may change after raids
NAIROBI, Kenya – Two daring commando raids by two nations in one day against Somali pirates show that some naval forces are taking a harder line, perhaps because nothing else they’ve tried has stopped the rise of lawlessness off the east coast of Africa.
The raids by South Korea and Malaysia on Friday could be a sign of more aggressive tactics to come – both by navies and by pirates responding to them. Experts say pirates could increasingly use hostages as human shields if raids become more common.
The European Union’s naval force refuses to raid hijacked ships out of concern for the safety of hostages, but frustration is rising. Despite patrols by an international flotilla of modern warships, drones patrolling the Indian Ocean off the east African coast and Arabian Gulf and diverse strategies employed, including the sinking of pirate boats, Somali pirates have been relentless.
The bureau said Somali pirates are operating more broadly than ever, from Oman on the Arabian Peninsula to Mozambique, more than 2,500 miles away in southeastern Africa. It also said navies have been more reluctant to intervene because pirates are using hijacked vessels to catch new prey.
South Korean commandos raided a cargo ship in the Arabian Sea before dawn Friday, killing eight Somali pirates and capturing five as they rescued all 21 crew members. The only crew member injured was the captain, who was shot in the stomach by a pirate; South Korea’s military said his condition was not life-threatening.
A 4 1/2-minute video released Sunday by South Korea’s military shows commandos in a small boat readying to climb onto the freighter amid gunshots. Later, the commandos are seen trying to enter a door and then bringing out some hostages, with a navy helicopter shining searchlights on the vessel.

These funny guys know a lot about extreme entertainment. To drink the Cup of the adrenaline cocktail, they went to Antarctica. In addition to the penguins there seems to be no one there — a solid ice desert with the absence of all life and vegetation. Another thing is under water: swim in the sea of fish on which the penguins and hunt. Now, a group of divers came here to dive. But already during the first dive revealed a strange circumstance.
This is the first level of the game. At the time of surfacing, the diver, the team leader, found a lot of colored blocks obstructing the ascent. Looks like it's compressed time, plastic debris is a serious threat to the ecology of modern seas and oceans. Diver-discoverer coped with the plastic and successfully got onto the ice surface, but dip the whole team need to learn how to deal with these blocks.
Concern about the successful ascent of divers assigned to You. You have to remove the blocks, freeing divers way to the surface. The rules are such that to remove the plastic only groups, consisting of identical blocks. The first tutorial level will show You the mechanism for the elimination of blocks. We will add that in difficult situations, you can be assisted by the penguin, if you see their faces under water. They know how to deftly pull apart pieces of plastic, really random. Found in strata of blocks and bombs which for the diver does not represent a threat, but I can help him in the ascent.
So a group of divers ready to dive, and You?

“Not all votes are equal,” says Wallet Hub. Wyoming's rank in voting power is 29th.
No civics lesson here. The votes of swing states have the power when it comes to deciding who the next president is. For example, since California is likely voting Democrat, and Alabama likely Republican, swing states have more impact. Wyoming isn't a voting powerhouse in either influence or population. Here is a list of those states that "matter."
Top 5:
1. Arizona
2. Iowa
3. Alaska
4. South Dakota
5. Ohio
Actually, would the rank of 29th be better than most Wyomingites expected?
If you'd like to see Wyoming's bordering states, or any others, just click on them.

Mind’s Eye
What’s as interesting old as I am; I have not learned to accept things as they are. I believe that imagination has more to offer than to stop progressing. It’s like creating a painting just from imagination. Because some say you can only imagine what life could be like. When I’m designing a piece of artwork from my imagination, it’s different than imagining life. The only hope is that someone likes it, even if I don’t. However, when I use my imagination to think about the things of life; everything is picture perfect and I love it. Even if my ideas, images, and concepts are not real; I can always create a design.

Study: Getting Too Much Cash Can Damage Your Judgement & Make You Over Confident
Money makes the world go ’round, but getting too much of it has a downside. University of Amsterdam researchers had 104 participants look at two images and determine which one had the higher contrast. Using a scale of 50 to 100 percent, they rated their level of confidence in their decision, and they were told they would win or lose money (of varying amounts) depending on if they got it right. Researchers found the money helped participants make good decisions in some sense– they were better at discriminating between the right and wrong answer. However, it made those who were confident in their decisions even more sure of themselves. This may happen because the prospect of a monetary reward may change an individual’s physiological state and, by extension, a person’s confidence in their judgement.

I don't even like lipgloss but Superdrug had 3 2true items for £4.99 plus any lipgloss FREE so I had to have one....
It's quite funky for a lipgloss (which, did I mention, is a product I've no time for).
Sticky? Yes.
Sweet, sickly smell? Yes.
But I kinda like it.
When I say I like it I don't mean on ME but I like it conceptually. As it's sparkly.
What products do absolutely nothing for you but you know everyone else raves about them/it?
1. My thing is nude lips. It can look great on other people but I can't stand it on myself, I feel weird without a bright lippie!
I like the sparkles in that lipgloss though!
2. I do like the sparkles! I'm not a big user of lipgloss, I can't get over the stickiness. Although I've recently found a use for it layered lightly over my more drying lipsticks, it helps make them feel more wearable.
My product that does nothing for me is bright eyeshadow. I see some awesome eotd blog posts and feel very jealous, but it just doesn't look right on me :) xx
3. Lipgloss also - I hate the stickiness and as I have long hair it's just a PITA

San Francisco
Travel guide - San Francisco
The tall buildings have been replaced with Victorian houses and steep streets. California’s beaches and iconic palm trees have given way to the mysterious fog that rises in the bay. Cultural diversity, architectural originality, a warm and peaceful atmosphere ... San Francisco is considered an exception within the United States.
The ideal starting point for a tour of San Francisco is at the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s considered one of the seven wonders of the modern world. Opened in 1937, it connects San Francisco to Marin County, 1.6 kilometres away. You can cross the bridge by foot or by bike, and enjoy magnificent views of the bay. It's also very nice to go through Golden Gate Park and its 411 hectares of botanical gardens and museums.
Still at the water’s edge, Pier 39 is a place of pure entertainment. In addition to its unique view of the Golden Gate and Alcatraz, and watching the sea lions, you’ll find numerous restaurants and shops here. There are plenty of original attractions to discover, such as the musical stairs and a hall of mirrors.
The city of San Francisco is known for its very steep streets. You can navigate them using the famous funicular, introduced in 1873. They’ll take you to Lombard Street, the most winding street in the world, with its houses and colourful flower beds.
Seeing San Francisco is also to discover the various cultures that coexist here. First there’s the Italian quarter of North Beach, known for its vibrant nightlife and its tai chi sessions right in the middle of Washington Square. Or the famous Chinatown, symbolised by Waverly Place. And finally, the Mission District neighbourhood where you can immerse yourself in a typically Mexican atmosphere.
San Francisco is well known as the city where the hippie movement grew up in the United States. And over the years, it has retained this unique image as a relaxed and peaceful city.

Temp Workers get Employment Rights
• Posted
The Court of Appeal has ruled that temp workers are entitled to employment rights against the 'end-user' company.
Previously, temps engaged through an agency have been unable to claim unfair dismissal against the person they work for. In DACAS v BROOK STREET BUREAU (5th March 2004), the Court of Appeal overturned this long-standing position and stated that once the temp had been working for a year, they obtained the right to claim unfair dismissal against the 'end-user' company.
Daniel Barnett, barrister at 1 Temple Gardens, comments: "This rectifies a long-standing hole in employment rights. Previously, employers could effectively buy protection from unfair dismissal claims by paying the premium of agency fees to an employment agency. The law worked under the fiction that since there was no direct contract between 'employer' and 'employee', there was no contract of employment. If there was no contract of employment, the worker could not claim unfair dismissal."
He adds, "This has the knock on effect that companys are now liable if temps injure anybody, or cause damage to anything, in the course of their employment. One of the main advantages of using agency workers have now gone, and many employers will review their use of expensive agency workers. This is likely to cause a downturn in the employment agency industry."
1. Mrs Dacas had been supplied to Wandsworth Council, through the Brook Street Bureau, as a cleaner. She had worked as a 'temp' for four years before Wandsworth dismissed her. She lost her claims against Wandsworth and Brook Street in the Employment Tribunal, on the grounds she was not an employee of either organisation. The Employment Appeal Tribunal held she was an employee of Brook Street, but the Court of Appeal has overturned that and said she was an employee of Wandsworth.
2. Lord Justice Sedley commented in the judgment, "The conclusion of the Employment Tribunal that Mrs Dacas was employed by nobody is simply not credible. There has to be something wrong with it."
3. Lord Justice Mummery stated "What difference does the presence of the employment agency really make to the status of Mrs Dacas? ... practical reality and common sense [show] that the Applicant works [for Wandsworth] under an implied contract"
4. In order to obtain unfair dismissal rights, in common with all employees, the temp will have to have worked for the end-user company for one year.
5. The Court of Appeal's decision is available at

Eating and emotions go hand-in-hand for many who are trying to drop a few pounds and also, for people who find themselves losing weight unintentionally. Many people report eating when they’re anxious, sad, depressed, lonely or worried. In fact, a new, online poll of psychologists, affiliated with the American Psychological Association, strongly indicates that emotions are a significant obstacle to weight loss, for some people.
The benefits of meditation – a calmer mind, less stress and enhanced, overall health, are of benefit to everyone. Starting a meditation practice, however, requires more than simply sitting cross legged in a quiet room and closing your eyes, although that’s a good place to start. Engaging in mindfulness and meditation takes some effort, as all meaningful endeavors do and is more easily grasped, and most effective, when guided by seasoned teachers. These five books, specifically geared towards individuals new to the practice, are a great place to start.
One distinctive symptom of depression is a feeling of helplessness and despair. Many people who suffer from depression report feeling a lack of control over their symptoms or the situation that they believe is causing their depression. If left untreated, these feelings of lack of control can become worse, and may lead to other symptoms, such as suicidal thoughts. Learn more about how depression can overtake your sense of control as well as what you can do about it.

• Intel® Graphics Performance Analyzers 2020 R1
• 03/31/2020
• Public Content
Analyzing Desktop API Graphics Applications
When profiling desktop API graphics applications with Intel® Graphics Performance Analyzers (Intel® GPA), you can:
• Collect and display hardware and software metrics data from your application in real time and conduct Microsoft* Direct3D pipeline experiments using System Analyzer or System Analyzer HUD. This can help you understand the high-level performance profile of your graphics application, determine whether your application is CPU-bound or GPU-bound, and quickly isolate graphics bottlenecks.
• Create stream files for further analysis with Graphics Frame Analyzer (for DirectX 11 and Vulkan).
• Create frame capture files, which contain all Microsoft DirectX* context used to render the selected 3D frame, as well as GPU metrics per draw call/region.
• Collect real-time trace data during the application run for further analysis with Graphics Trace Analyzer.
• Understand the performance of your application at the frame level, render target level, and draw call level with Graphics Frame Analyzer:
• Experiment with individual events (that is, any call that potentially renders one or more pixels to the frame buffer or does another GPU work) and various settings for the entire rendering pipeline.
• Modify states and shader code to see whether it is possible to improve render time.
• Determine whether texture bandwidth is a performance bottleneck.
• Minimize overdraw by analyzing pixel history
• Conduct "what if" optimization experiments without recompiling or rebuilding your application.
• Visualize the execution profile of the various tasks in your code over time using Graphics Trace Analyzer:
• Analyze graphics API calls (draw calls, buffer locks, resource updates, presents).
• Correlate CPU and GPU activity and identify whether your application is GPU or CPU bound.
• Identify GPU and CPU application frame rate and how it depends on vertical synchronization.
• Explore the performance of your application per selected GPU metrics over time.
• Analyze GPU usage per DMA packet on a software queue.
No code modifications or special libraries are needed to determine whether your game is CPU or GPU bound and to figure out what is happening within a specific frame of your game.
Additionally, you can instrument your application with the Instrumentation and Tracing Technology (ITT) API to visualize the execution profile of the various tasks in your code over time in the Graphics Trace Analyzer: just add calls within your game code to designate logical tasks in your game. You can also use System Analyzer to profile non-DirectX* applications instrumented by the ITT API. In this case, the
Metric Tree Control
pane shows only CPU metrics and only the
Capture Trace
button is enabled.
For detailed information regarding the ITT API, see the About Instrumentation and Tracing Technology (ITT) APIs topic.
Intel® GPA is not supported on 32-bit systems.
Performance Analysis Workflow
Graphics Monitor is the main hub tool for application analysis. You must have Graphics Monitor running on your target system to start an application for analysis.
1. Launch the Graphics Monitor to start the application and configure analysis settings .
2. Connect your Intel® GPA tools installed on the host system to the target system using the target system IP address. If you are analyzing an application locally, you can specify “This Machine” or “localhost” instead.
When you connect to a target system for the first time, Graphics Monitor asks you to authorize the connection. Click
Accept Once
to allow the connection for the current session only, or
Accept Always
to add the device IP address to the list of authorized devices.
3. Perform system analysis with System Analyzer or System Analyzer HUD.
4. Capture stream, frame or trace files for further in-depth analysis:
• Perform stream analysis to detect frames with potential performance bottlenecks .
• Perform frame analysis to understand the performance impact of specific draw calls at different stages of the rendering pipeline.
• Perform platform analysis to analyze your application performance with respect to CPU and GPU utilization.
By default, tracing is disabled. To enable platform analysis, in the
tab of the
Graphics Monitor
screen, enable the
toggle button.
5. Change your game code and re-run Intel® GPA to verify that your changes achieve the expected performance improvements.

High Performance Team Building Program
Tailored to the specific requirements of your team, our High Performance Team Building programs work with four critical success factors in delivering exceptional outcomes – Vision, Values, Purpose and Rules of Engagement.
Whether you’re a newly formed team or a team that has a specific objective in mind we can work with you to ensure you obtain maximum benefit by developing strong and effective relationships while building team cohesion. Knowing where you’re going, how you’re going to get there together, what each of you will do, and most importantly, why you’re doing it will be agreed. We will create a language together that the team can lead moving forward so that
Using our Integral methodology we help the team to develop a roadmap for success by crafting a unique vision statement, before working to uncover how each person’s values contribute to the team’s behaviour. We then unpack “why” the team is doing what they’re doing, constructing a purpose statement which creates a strong sense of team meaning, identity and shared purpose. To help deliver day to day objectives we co-create the teams preferred Rules of Engagement, creating a framework for positive interactions and the foundation for day to day interactions.
All our programmes are underpinned by critical reflection, with each person continually being challenged to reflect on their skills and the benefits they bring to the team.

VirnetX Holdings shares skyrocketed more than 30% on Monday after it was revealed that the company had won a patent case against Apple Inc. (AAPL). The stock climbed as high as $5.13 before retreating a bit, but this was still a big gain for the company.
VirnetX Holding Corporation Stock Gains After Winning From Apple Inc.
Apple ordered to pay VirnetX $302m
Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s courtroom patent battles with Samsung are known very well, but the iPhone maker does get involved in cases with other companies as well. In this particular case, a federal judge has overturned two rulings that had previously gone in Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s favor. The iPhone maker has now been ordered to pay $302.4 million to VirnetX for infringing upon a patent related to VPN-on-demand and the original FaceTime video conferencing app.
Reuters reports that the judge ruled on Friday that Apple Inc. (AAPL) had used features patented by VirnetX without receiving the company’s permission. VirnetX filed the original case against Apple Inc. (AAPL) in 2010 in Texas over four patents related to virtual private networks (VPNs) and secure communications.
In 2012, a jury awarded the patent holding company $386.2 million, but a federal appeals court overturned part of that ruling. The court stated that the trial judge did not correctly instruct the jurors about how to calculate the damages. Another jury ruled in VirnetX’s favor again in February in a case that combined two of the company’s lawsuits against Apple Inc. (AAPL). The jury ordered the iPhone maker to pay $625.6 million, which is one of the highest amounts awarded in a patent case in the U.S., according to Reuters.
Round and round in court
A judge threw that ruling out as well, stating that jurors in that trial might have gotten confused because of the many references to the previous case. The judge also stated that all those references to the past case were unfair for Apple Inc. (AAPL).
In the trial that ended with the judge’s ruling on Friday, jurors were told to calculate damages on two patents owned by VirnetX. A court had already ruled that Apple Inc. (AAPL) had infringed upon those patents. The jurors were also told to decide whether Apple Inc. (AAPL) had infringed upon two other patents and if so, to calculate damages for those infringements. The $302.4 million that the jury ordered the iPhone maker to pay was about what VirnetX had been expecting to receive in the case.
The company received the four patents involved in this case from Science Applications International in 2006, according to court documents.
The battle between Apple and VirnetX continues
This is not the final word between the two companies. Court documents show that Apple Inc. (AAPL) could be ordered to pay out even more in damages because the next step is a trial to determine whether it willfully infringed upon the patents that are included in the case. If the company is found to have been willful in its infringement, it might have to pay even more money.
Additionally, there is still another case pending between the two companies as VirnetX has sued Apple Inc. (AAPL) over its iMessage messaging app and some of its new security features.
Samsung and Apple Inc. (AAPL) have been suing each other right and left all over the world, with rulings going on both directions on different occasions, but it’s a big deal for a smaller company to win damages from Apple Inc. (AAPL). Of course it could have something to do with the fact that the case was filed in a court in Texas that is widely known for ruling in favor of plaintiffs in patent cases, according to Reuters.
Where Samsung is concerned, there has been so much courtroom drama that the two companies have been ordered to make legal peace, but there seems little chance of that happening. Earlier this year, we heard that the Supreme Court would be taking over at least one of the patent cases between Samsung and Apple Inc. (AAPL).
Shares of the iPhone maker slipped by as much as 0.51% to $112.47 during regular trading hours on Monday.

Our greatest ally? They did 911, which created endless war in the middle east. 911 has also continually taken away our freedoms. They brutally slaughtered Americans on the USS Liberty, to try to get the US in a war with Egypt. They did the Lavon Affair. The scandal in New Zealand. They spy on every phone in America. They take endless billions from the US, and tonight there are Americans sleeping on the street..

Never-ending violence, terrorism and false flags are American values. Maybe this guy's onto something... One terrorist state supporting another, through their shared values.

Unreal isn't it...

Democracy is all an illusion. Democracy is for the Jew elites to be able to SELECT the president they want to control the country. Democracy is to usher in NWO. The Islamic nations the Jews CANNOT control bc they believe so strongly in their ideology. They wouldn't dare allow a democracy in their nations. The only way the Jew elites can force democracy upon those nations is thru war and sometimes war doesn't even work.. I.e. Syria

3 Signs You Should Change Your Morning Routine
January 2nd, 2016 | Posted by admin in Uncategorized
Being awesome in the morning takes discipline and time to master. Early waking hours are not easy, which is why it's a beautiful thing if you can feel great and make the most out of your mornings. If you're not eagerly jumping out of bed to start your day then you'll want to consider these signs that you need to tweak your morning routine:
1. You're rushed. You're running late everyday, there never seems to be enough time, or you have your routine planned right down to the minute and the second.
Here's your fix:
• Ease yourself into waking up earlier. If you can't handle jumping right into waking up 15-minutes earlier or more, then start with 5-minutes earlier.
• Restructure your morning to run more efficiently, eliminate useless habits, or replace unimportant tasks.
• Prep as much as you can the night before. Choose what you're going to wear, prep your breakfast, plan what you need to take with you the next day, etc.
2. You're over-tired. You just can't get moving in the morning so your routine consists of the bare minimum necessary actions: bathroom, brush teeth, get dressed, fix hair and out the door. Maybe you're just not a 'morning person' or you get poor sleep. Or maybe you used to be fine in the mornings but find that you're dragging lately.
Here's your fix: Quality sleep of course. Use this guide to determine if your sleep habits are a factor to being over-tired. If sleep is not the problem, try these:
• Quick energy boosters such as drinking water to rehydrate, shower, eating a nutritious breakfast and letting light into your home.
• Exercise. Five minutes or more of physical activity can boost mood and improve focus. It's great if you can get a full workout going on in the morning. When time is of the essence, do some quick activities at home: pushups, yoga poses, air squats, sit-ups, etc.
• Unusual bouts of fatigue could be a symptom of a health problem, so stay on top of your health and get checkups when needed.
3. You're stressed out. Mornings can be even more daunting when you're facing stressful tasks, situations and more. Anticipating challenges will bring on stress. Stress and tension certainly are not motivators for jumping out of bed and diving into the day.
Here's your fix:
• Do not check your phone, texts, email or social networks before you get out of bed. If your messages and updates waited for you while you slept, they can wait another 15-30 minutes as you take your time to ease into your morning.
• Focus on what you're looking forward to. Even challenges have their silver lining. Find the benefit and bring your attention to the positive factor. Bonus points if you create an effective mantra about it!
• Put on some music while you're getting ready. Music soothes, lowers stress, reduces muscle tension and provides a mental distraction. And the best part is that it doesn't take up any extra time!

Ask An Expert
Q: In your practice you often make the point that leadership is a dialogue, not a monologue. How does dialogue inspire a shared vision and enable others to act?
A: Leadership is a relationship, and strong relationships are built on mutual understanding. You can get to that mutual understanding only through conversation and dialogue.
To become an exemplary leader, you must develop a deep appreciation of the collective hopes, dreams, and aspirations of your constituents. Constituents come to believe in their leaders—to see them as worthy of their trust—when they believe that the leaders have the constituents’ best interests at heart.
Leaders who are clearly interested only in their own agendas, their own advancement, and their own wellbeing will not be followed willingly. You have to reach out and attend to others, be present with them, and listen to them.
This isn’t just theory. We know from our research that when leaders seek consensus around shared values, constituents are more positive. People who report that their managers engage in dialogue regarding common values feel a significantly stronger sense of personal effectiveness than individuals who feel that they’re wasting energy trying to figure out what they’re supposed to be doing.

What is Analytical Design?
Analytical Design is all about realising that regardless of how much time, or how much money you spend on an initial web design, you can never be certain that your design is going to be the one that sells well.
Nor can you be certain that it will still work in 6 months or 12 months time. Sure, there are principles that a good designer knows will assist with sales, but each customer profile will respond differently. Each brand will get a different result, and each culture will buy based on different reasons. Even the time of year will affect the effectiveness of different designs.
Mostly, changes in a design are all about satisfying the business that the same design that they have had for years needs a re-fresh. While this sounds like sound advice, and may even be part of the reason for a change, the real reason should be based on metrics.
The business' online manager should have so much data - empirical evidence - that the site is under performing, that a re-design is needed.
Depending on your current results, this might be some minor A/B testing or Multivariate testing, of individual elements or it could require wholesale changes to the navigation, and the structure of information on your site.
As the results improve, testing and measuring results becomes more refined, and deeper within the site, but it should never stop. Just like the operation of a business, monitoring the internal and external factors, compared to the bottom line can mean the difference of continued growth business, and a flat line or decline in business.
Analytical design is building and testing as many different designs as it takes to get the results you are happy with, then continuing to test further changes to improve your results.
So next time you hear that 'the new design is finished' you'll know the real work should be just beginning.

Top 5 Must-See Phoenix Shows This Week
Categories: This Week
Pick & Holler - Rhythm Room - Wednesday, January 8
Phoenix's Pick & Holler is not being ironic or glib when they call themselves an "old-time string band" or their genre "old-time Appalachian music." That's what they are, and that's what they play: A mix of genres connected by their energy and their place in American history.
There's a place for both genres of old-time string bands -- the ones who bend toward contemporary pop sounds and the ones who do their best to preserve something that already exists -- and I'm glad that when you go to a show in Phoenix and see a bunch of guys with vests setting up their acoustic instruments, you've got fair odds of seeing either kind.

Stress & Anxiety: 3 Incredible Stories of Survival, & 3 Ways to Ground Yourself During Stressful Times by Marianne Clyde
Stripped naked, tied to a post with a gun to his head for hours, in front of his little cement block house, my friend kept singing “Jesus keep me near the cross…” A prisoner, held behind enemy lines in Sierra Leone during the civil war in the late 90s, he subsisted on very little food, and in the end, just fruit and berries. But thankfully, he survived.
I remember, a year or so later, as I was driving in a van with six men, the sinking feeling in my stomach when we crossed those same rebel lines. We were on our way to discuss helping the amputees, who were victims from that civil war. In order to do that, we had to meet with the leaders of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) to get permission to aid the very victims of their brutal attacks.
How does one stay centered and focused under such stress? How does one stay centered and focused under any kind of stress? Acute stress can be debilitating. Chronic stress can lead to physical illness or mental illness. It can put a strain on relationships; it can challenge your ability to think straight. It can make you just want to curl up in a corner and give up, or keep you in such a state of panic that you feel paralyzed and unable to move forward.
One person’s stress can’t really be measured against another person’s stress. Each case is individual. Every person has different coping mechanisms, different upbringing, different belief systems that will inform how he reacts to stress. However, if you have a belief system in which you recognize your innate value and feel competent to handle difficult situations, those beliefs can help you come out on the other side intact, even stronger than before, knowing that you survived.
There are a few basic principles that can help ground you in difficult circumstances, whether or not you’ve had time to prepare for the situation or not. Having said that, not all stress is negative or externally induced. Our thinking has a lot to do with how we handle stressful situations of any kind.
Back in the U.S., just a couple of years ago, flying 10,000 feet above ground, I was ready to take my first leap out of a perfectly good plane. My choice. But I have to say, sitting there by the open door of the small aircraft getting ready to release myself into thin air, well aware of the risks, I had a final thought that ran through my mind, “Well, if I die, at least the last feeling I get before I land in the arms of God will be one of flying,” and then I jumped. Stress inducing? Oh yeah. Exhilarating? Definitely. But now I have a story to tell that no one can take away from me. So whether your stress is positive or negative, life threatening or simply irritating, the principles that can help you mange it are the same.
• Follow the lead of my friend tied naked to a pole with a gun to his head. He wasn’t singing that song, “Keep me near the cross,” because he just heard it on the radio and it stuck. It came from a deep habitual connection to his creator that he nurtured every day. A regular practice of connecting to your source of life, whether you call it God or the Universe or Creator or Nature, is a foundational practice to keep you grounded and centered. Every day, you dig your roots deeper into something bigger than yourself, something benevolent and powerful and abundant that can’t be overcome. Meditation is not just a popular trend. It can be a lifesaver whenever you need it, as it was for my friend.
• Remember, what you focus on increases. So just like our team who purposely chose to cross a line that could potentially be life threatening, the focus on the good that we could do for the citizens of Sierra Leone was greater. That is what we focused on and it helped us minimize any fear and work through the stress. Keep your thoughts focused on what is good – things you can be thankful for – and that will increase in your mind while the negative dissipates.
• Practice good coping mechanisms on a regular basis. Learn to breathe deeply throughout the day to keep the oxygen circulating. Learn to detach from the drama-du-jour and focus on the bigger picture. Maintain respect for yourself and others. Minimize judgments and jumping to conclusions. Be humble enough to know you don’t know everything and there’s always another viewpoint. Let go of resentments. Whether they are legitimate or not is not the issue. The issue is that they will poison your soul.
These few basic principles will serve you well as you encounter stress, so it does not become chronic, potentially leading to depression or anxiety or some life threatening physical illness. Learn more at and by visiting Marianne Clyde Center for Holistic Psychotherapy.

What is world leader essay
what is world leader essay
is a subjective judgement and cannot be based, for example, on financial performance alone. Cite This Work, to export a reference to this article please select a referencing stye below: Essays,. Chio (2006,.24) defines charismatic leaders as essays starting with an anecdote having three additional, core characteristics which are an ability to predict future trends and be visionary; being a creative thinker, and showing empathy and empowering colleagues. It is further argued by Zaccaro (2007,.10) that because being a good leader is complex there is probably an interaction of the leaders characteristics as well as an interaction with the variables present in different situations and contexts. However, such qualities vary with different situations and the type of subordinates who are expected to follow. The leaders can take inspiration from such an extraordinary leader who taught people how to maintain their focus on specific vision and face the challenges with courage and bravery. Not by words, but by their actions is show more content, people requires good leadership skills at personal, professional and social level. Working with Emotional Intelligence.
what is world leader essay
Working for the benefits of the people and this aspect was evident in the leadership style of Lincoln (Hubbard, 21).
One Young World is launching an essay competition which challenges young people to tell global leaders how to do better.
However, Furnham (2005,.574) suggests that although there are numerous traits, there appears to be little agreement regarding which characteristics contribute to a leader being effective. However, we need to keep in mind that Burns wrote about this in 1978. Branson has a flair for being slightly eccentric and is not afraid of being unconventional which Choi, as discussed previously, describes as a characteristic of charismatic leadership. Roosevelt is that fear is something that needs to be conquered and there is nothing to fear about. As Sir John Harvey says:- You only get a company going where you want it to by leadership by example and by honest the ivy crown essay and endless communication (cited in Mullins 2008,.261). In todays world, the leaders have realized that they need to first follow what they tell their followers so that the leaders can gain their trust. Leadership is the process of influencing the activities of either formal or informal group in the task of goal setting and goal achievement. His personality is a source of inspiration for the leaders and managers of todays world that no matter how challenging the situation gets it is important to boost the morale of oneself and the followers. To get out of the Great Depression period in 1930s by helping the people in rebuilding their self-confidence. From the analysis of Adolf Hitlers leadership style, the leaders of the todays world have realized that they cannot be a dictator and cannot get the work done by forcing their followers (Popper, 64).
Print, reference this, published: Thu, introduction. Further characteristics include determination, energy, self-confidence and ability; in addition they are not afraid to be unconventional (McKenna, 2006,.411). Covey continues saying that habits are consistent, can be learned or unlearned and express an individuals character and how effective or ineffective they are (Covey, 2004,.46). New York: Simon and Schuster Inc. There are a number of characteristics which appear to be more important than others although it is difficult to isolate only a few.

The Timeshare Rental Problem
In my last post, I discussed that the industry needed to get back to making the timeshare experience exclusive...that is something that could only be experienced by timeshare owners.
The easiest way to accomplish this is to address the rental issue.
I'm not talking about limiting an individual owner's ability to rent their unused timeshare...that is a valuable benefit.
I am talking about putting strict limitations on a resort's ability to rent out inventory to a non-owner...particularly for less than the annual maintenance fees AND enforcing a "one time only" policy...meaning that a non-owner will be able to rent a timeshare once and only once at a specific resort.
And while I feel strongly that the entire marketing paradigm HAS to change, putting prospective owners in a timeshare and giving them attraction tickets for 4 days for $99 accomplishes absolutely NOTHING.
Today's consumers are deal oriented like never before. If a consumer knows that there is no restriction to the number of times they can take advantage of these "deals" without ever buying a timeshare, they'll keep taking advantage of the system. And who can blame them?
Timeshare needs to focus on the differences between a timeshare vacation and a hotel vacation. If resorts continue to make their wares available to just about anyone, for a minimal price, they face some serious issues.
Timeshare can be great for some people. The industry and the individual owners need to "own" the fact---no pun intended---that it's reserved for owners. Relish that, appreciate that and consumers will in fact desire it.
1 comment:
1. In order to make their timeshare sales, the salespeople in several resorts make fraudulent promises that you can rent your weeks for unrealistic prices, such as $2500 US per week for a 1 bedroom suite.
Upon investigating online, many clients realize that the market value for their timeshares are often less than $500 US. If you visit sites such as EBay, non timeshare owners are able to rent weeks at the same resorts for a lower price than timeshare owners, so why would they pay exorbitant prices for something that they can purchase online for very little.
Sometimes full timeshare contracts that were purchased for thousands of dollars are for sale online for less that $500 US as many people just want to get rid of their financial obligations. In addition, there is an overwhelming amount of rental availability, making it virtually impossible to rent the timeshare as promised by the salespeople. The claim that rentals are guaranteed and there is a great demand for room rentals is another lie used to close timeshare sales.
To make matters worse, the resorts often rent weeks in their hotels for as low as $199 per week to entice people to come to the resort and purchase a timeshare. The resorts state that they will help people rent their timeshare weeks for inflated prices, but then they practically give away weeks to entice more potential consumers into buying. By doing this, they are creating a conflict of interest and continuing the vicious cycle of timeshare scam.

1. Has anyone actually sent or received actual money in their bank account by using this service? If it works then the days of telling someone to visit my office to collect his small payment of like Rs 7000 will be history. He will get paid without visiting my office and without me being in office.
2. Still the cost is way too high when compared to MTNL's 6 month unlimited for Rs 4500 or Vodafone's Rs 599 per month for unlimited in Mumbai or Rs 899 for unlimited in Delhi. MTNL has 200 GB cap and Vodafone has no cap on downloads. Reliance netconnect+ should be cheaper because they have not paid for spectrum in auction and download speeds on their network here in Delhi are dead slow.
3. Obviously, they have a CDMA business ONLY unlike a Tata or Reliance. So they don't have anything else to focus on. BTW, MTS network in Delhi NCR region is not good. Voice clarity is not there for MTS to Reliance CDMA calls or MTS to Airtel calls. Data download speed on mblaze is very poor. So, not many shops here are selling MTS handsets or e-recharge.
4. Can I take a SIM for Rs 10 only and then use 10,000 free local SMS and throw away the SIM? If yes, then it is a god sent deal.
5. Best Bank For Current Account
I have registered for DND but when your account size has crossed a threshold then banks assign an 'account representative' to you. Account rep is supposed to bug you all the time to meet his targets by selling ULIPs. ULIPs is not the only thing banks try to sell these days. In last few months, I have received a lot of calls and proposals in email from banks selling flats and office space in newly launched projects in Gurgaon or Noida. So some private banks are now a days acting as property dealers also. On the other hand, government bank staff will never try to sell you ULIPs or real estate but their customer service in the branch is poor. So one has to struggle to find the least worst bank as per our needs.
6. Best Bank For Current Account
Among the 3 you mentioned, IDBI bank is best now a days. It is a PSU/sarkari bank so it is 'safe'. In case of a banking crisis like the one that happened in 2008, your money in IDBI bank account will be backed by the Indian government. This is important because in last 10 years a number of Private banks have closed (e.g. Global Trust Bank, United Western Bank) leaving their customers in lurch and desperately trying to ge the money out of their accounts with troubled banks. A lot of services in IDBI bank are free without the need to maintain big minimum balance. You are charged for every small service by both PSU banks like SBI or Private banks like HDFC. Further, IDBI bank staff will never call you and attempt to sell you useless investment products like ULIPs. Also IDBI bank is offering best interest rates on fixed deposits now a days among all PSU banks. Axis bank will charge you for things like cheque books, Pay orders, money transfers by NEFT, Debit cards and you will need to maintain a minimum balance. Further they will try to sell you insurance products like ULIPs, gold coins etc. from time to time. You will get tired of answering their phone calls every day. They will also want you to take their Platinum credit card. When I refused to take their credit card, they sent one of their executives to my home on a Sunday morning anyway, just to push the credit card down my throat. Needless to say, I soon closed my account with them. HDFC bank staff will also try to sell you ULIPs. You will maintain a minimum balance and will pay for services that are free with IDBI bank. Further every time you receive a big payment in your account by cheque or by online transfer, they will call you and ask you to tell the source of funds. If you ask me, this is a big nuisance. I have a business to run and fielding useless calls from bank must not be a part of my daily routine. If you have receive payments from abroad by wire transfers, then CitiBank business current account with minimum balanc of Rs 50,000 has lowest charges for receiving wire transfers. They have few branches but their service is better than the most banks in India. I don't know if they have a branch in your city and near your place. HSBC Direct account with zero balance is also good if most of your business is done online and you don't need to deposit or withdraw cash from bank frequently. Have a look at their charges: http://www.hsbc.co.in/1/2/business/business-current-accounts/hsbc-direct-for-business http://www.hsbc.co.in/1/PA_1_083Q9FFKG80E20RA9Q00000000/content/website/pdf/business/bd_tariff.pdf Once again I don't know if HSBC has a branch near your place. My office is located in Central Delhi (near connaught Place) and all banks have branches in Connaught Place. So all banks are accessible for me. Given my bad experience, I suggest NOT opening accounts with ICICI or Standard Chartered Bank.
7. Airtel Launches Broadband TV
For some people this is a good enough service. For example those who trade stocks online have trading software open on their screens all time. They can subscribe to this service and have a small window of Bloomberg UTV running in a corner of their monitor. Some people who trade stocks all day long have TV with cable or DTH installed in their offices and they keep one eye on any market moving news like the earthquake in Japan that moved the markets down within seconds of the news hitting the wires. This kind of setup is a good replacement of a TV for some but I don't see large number of people going for this service unless the selection of channels is wider.
8. If someone is looking for an example on how a BAD management can kill a thriving business, then look no further. Not only RCOM but all ADAG group companies, without any exception, are living examples of bad performance in the markets. Even in the raging bull markets of last 2 years, investors in ADAG group companies have lost big money. I am glad that I sold my RCOM shares at over Rs 700 several years ago and they were quoting at approx 90 bucks today. High cost of RCDMA handsets compared with smilar GSM handsets is the main reason why CDMA is a dying business now. Also they built what is without doubt the worst GSM network in the country. GSM is a over 15 years old technology and is no longer a rocket science. There is no excuse whatsoever of building such a crap GSM network where voice clarity is not there, all calls are disconnected within 1 minute even at places where there is full signal and SMS that is never delivered.
9. I moved from RCDMA postpaid to prepaid several years ago after I was charged for data usage on my cellphone, when I never used cellphone for web browsing. On my Airtel postpaid, I was charged Rs 45 for ISD calls to Maldives in last bill. I never called numbers in Maldives. Now I am planning to move to prepaid for this Airtel number. I don't blame cellphone companies for being greedy. They are working very hard to collect money that is required to be paid to UPA government ministers as bribe.
10. Mobile Tariff Set To Go Up
Telecom scam 2.0 is happening right now. There is a good reason why a person on the level of PM Manmohan Singh has been saying in media that it is not possible to prosecute those who are holding money in illegal foreign bank accounts. Everyone in this government is a thug.
11. Lets say I buy an item on ebay US and it is sent by the seller by USPS. And I don't do any follow with customs department on my own at any stage. Once the item arrives in customs, what will happen to it? Will the custom department send the item to postal department with instructions on how much custom duty to collect at the time of delivery? How is the custom duty paid in such cases? I have so far avoided buying anything on ebay USA but am planning to buy a SSD drive now.
12. The thing is that Airtel customers will pay without much complaints in big circles like Delhi and they know that. What are the alternatives to Airtel for someone looking for decent service in Delhi? RGSM simply stinks. It is a black spot on the name of GSM mobile service. Idea cellular s**ks. Vodafone is already costlier and customer support is bad. Aircel is at best an half-hearted attempt to provide the service. MTNL's network is also no good. RCDMA is best for someone who has patience to try 4 times to dial a number because no call gets through in first attempt. So who else is left? Airtel could have raised the prices by 500% and people would have paid without many complaints.
13. If the phone tapes related to 3G scam released by Outlook Magazine are any indicator, then one can assume that babus and netas will fall in line after they have extorted their bribe money. Case in point is that they never cared about security issues when BSNL and MTNL were offereing 3G services becaue they could not extort bribes from PSU companies. Now that private companies are starting 3G services babus and netas have woken up regarding the security threats because now they see good probability of extorting money from private telecom companies.
14. I think launch in metro cities is still 6 months away.

Finding common ground essay | MyPaperHub
The death penalty punishment has been an issue that has raised controversy over time not just in the United States but also with the rest of the world. The public and also law enforcers have remained split on the issue with activists for and other against the death penalty raising arguments in support of their stance on the issue. However, it is of an essence to note that one of the fundamental reasons that the law offers punishment is to deter the criminal from committing the crime in future and to discourage other potential criminals from engaging in the crime as well. Therefore, every law and consequence of breaking it should be sufficient to offer deterrence to the criminals and potential criminals.
Introduction in opposition to death penalty
The crushing evidence from years of research is that the death sentence is no more of deterrence than life in prison and hence those who argue that deterrence justifies the execution of offenders have little advantage to show that the punishment is a deterrent. In fact, there are some studies indicating that the death penalty leads to an opposite effect since the society is brutalized leading to the further likelihood of murder. Therefore, there is little faith in deterrence as a justification for the use of the death penalty (
Introduction in support of death penalty
Punishment is majorly used to discourage potential criminals from committing unlawful acts. Therefore, the society seeks to prevent murder at all costs and hence the need to use the strongest punishment to deter murder, which is the capital punishment. If the murderers are sentenced to death and then executed then, the potential murderers will have to rethink due to the fear of the ultimate punishment.
Death penalty and the murder rate
Those who support the death penalty assert that according to research by Isaac Ehrlich in 1973, for every inmate executed, there was an average of seven innocent lives soared because others were deterred from committing murder. There are similar results produced in later researches. The studies on the deterrence of the death penalty are inconclusive because the majority of the states take too much time before carrying out executions. The punishments that are fast and certain are the best deterrents. Moreover, the fact that some of the states that do not use the Capital punishment experience low murder rates than those that have the Capital punishment is no sufficient evidence of the failure of the sentence to deter crime (
In opposition to the death penalty as deterrence, there is an argument that countries that employ the death sentence have higher rates of murder than those that do not. The rate of murder in the United States is significantly higher than that of other countries that have banned the capital punishment such as Canada and countries in Europe. Moreover, the Ehrlich studies have been largely discredited by a majority of the scholars and, therefore, the studies on deterrence of the capital punishment remains inconclusive. The death penalty is no deterrent because a majority of the people that commit murder either do not expect to be caught or that they do not weigh the options between execution and life imprisonment before they act ( The majority of the times, murders are committed in moments of extreme emotions such as anger or by criminals who are abusers of substances and hence act in an impulsive manner without considering the consequences. Jim Mattox, who previously served as the Attorney General of Texas, stated that in his experience witnessing the execution of several inmates, in most cases it was evident to him that most of the victims were not deterred by the existence of the death punishment as a consequence. He reiterated that majority of times; the murder was committed under the influence of drugs and other substances (
Studies on deterrence of the death penalty
In support of the death sentence as a deterrence, a Professor of Jurisprudence at Fordham University called Ernest van den Haag argued that even with the absence of conclusive statistical evidence in support of the notion that death penalty deters crimes more than any other form of punishment due to the strong fear of death among individuals. The majority of individuals are bound to fear death that is inevitable and scheduled by the courts ( Therefore, the fear is the source of deterrence among the individuals since they are aware that the punishments mean that they would not get a second chance at life but will have to pay the ultimate price. The thought of dying may instill fear even in the moist stone cold killers that will deter crimes in the future. Hence, the death penalty is the only punishment that can deter prisoners that are already serving life sentences from getting tempted to kill other inmates or the guards. It, therefore, offers a form of security to the guards in the prisons, and also the other inmates since those who are already on life imprisonment are aware that any mistake of committing the act may lead to death and hence deter them. It is the only deterrence for such criminals since there is no other punishment that is worse than life imprisonment. The supporters of the punishment also argue that even though such criminals are not entirely deterred there is not any other punishment that would be as effective as the execution since it is the highest level of punishment (
In opposition to the capital punishment, there is no actual proof that the death penalty in itself is a better deterrent than the threat of life imprisonment. A survey conducted by the former and present presidents of the country’s top criminology societies indicated that 84% of the experts rejected the premise that research had indicated any deterrent effect of the death penalty ( Moreover, those that get into prison settle into the new routine and are little if any threat to anyone. Moreover, there is majority of the states that have adopted laws that have a life imprisonment without any parole. It means that those imprisoned for life without parole would never be released, and, therefore, they pose no threat to the public. They can also be placed in solitary confinement that would ensure the safety of other inmates and to the guards instead of resulting to a crudes manner of executions (
Common ground
Both the opposers and the supporters of the death penalty agree that every punishment on a criminal should act to deter the criminal from committing further crimes and other potential offenders from committing the crime as well. The society has used punishment as a way of discouraging the would-be criminals from committing an unlawful act. Moreover, the punishment given to a criminal or offender should also be of the same magnitude as the crime committed. They also agree that there are not any conclusive statistical demonstrations on the deterrence of the death penalty.

Synthol shoulder leaking
A bodybuilder gets his shoulder leaking because of synthol use on the stage while posing back double biceps.
That can't be legal and is pretty gross.

its an substance they shoot directly into the muscle, so it looks bigger. but its all fake, like make up. and it can go very wrong. shooting an oil into your body is never a good idea. its also considert cheating even if it is legal

"Injecting oil into muscles
Site enhancement oil, often called "santol" or "synthol" (no relation to the Synthol mouthwash brand), refers to oils injected into muscles to increase the size or change the shape. Some bodybuilders, particularly at the professional level, inject their muscles with such mixtures to mimic the appearance of developed muscle where it may otherwise be disproportionate or lagging.[52] This is known as "fluffing".[53][54] Synthol is 85% oil, 7.5% lidocaine, and 7.5% alcohol.[53] It is not restricted, and many brands are available on the Internet.[55] The use of injected oil to enhance muscle appearance is common among bodybuilders,[56][57] despite the fact that synthol can cause pulmonary embolisms, nerve damage, infections, sclerosing lipogranuloma,[58] stroke,[53] and the formation of oil-filled granulomas, cysts or ulcers in the muscle.[57][59][60] Rare cases might require surgical intervention to avoid further damage to the muscle and/or to prevent loss of life.[61]
Sesame oil is often used in such mixtures, which can cause allergic reactions such as vasculitis.[62]
As the injected muscle is not actually well-developed, it might droop under gravity.[55]"

F.A.Q. – Cheating or Metagaming
• Cheating or Metagaming
Expand All | Collapse All
• 1. What is Metagaming?
Metagaming means that a player (or group of players) have taken out-of-game knowledge and used it in-game to their advantage. It's all about drawing lines between what YOU as a player knows and what you as a **character** knows
Metagaming is considered unsporting or cheating in a competitive gaming context, and is in general poorly received as it subverts the emphasis of accurate character depiction based on in-game experiences and back-story that defines role-playing games. Outside of role-playing, metagaming simply refers to players using knowledge or understanding of external factors (such as community trends or coincidental events) to gain an advantage in competition.
More broadly, metagaming can refer any or all aspects of play that occur outside of a given game's fictional setting. This most prominently includes any discussion among players and/or the game's master about the game's events and contents. Metagaming is frowned upon in role-playing communities, as it upsets the suspension of disbelief and affects game balance.
Gathering knowledge:
Gaining knowledge from Out-Of Character scources.
Bending the rules:
Adjusting a character's actions based on foreknowledge of the long-term intentions of the storyteller.
As a form of powergaming during character creation, when a player takes flaws or liabilities that they know the storyteller is unlikely to fully exploit, thereby acquiring extra creation options without paying a corresponding penalty.
Altering behaviors:
Acting on any knowledge that the character doesn't know and could not learn - for example, applying real-life chemistry to create gunpowder in a pre-firearms setting, without said character having any foreknowledge or interest in chemistry or any precedence for its development.
Assuming that something that appears to be wrong or unlikely in the game world is a mistake of the storyteller rather than something that could be investigated. (There are incidences where a Storytellers depiction of the world is genuinely at fault, causing players to gain knowledge their character's should not know - however, it is incumbent on players to not utilize that knowledge for their character's future decisions.)
Assuming that if an item (such as a chest, desk or book-case) is mentioned by the storyteller during the initial description of an area, it must have some relevance to the storyline, and immediately searching or examining it. (while ignoring other furnishings or objects that are most likely there as well).
• 2. How do I report Cheating or Metagaming?
Players should fill out the form HERE to report issues with metagaing/cheating at AIT.

Teen emergency.... kinda.
Yesterday morning, Queenager dashes out. "I have to be at school early". Door clashes.
"Byeeeee", we yell, without doing the usual equipment check at the door. "Take your phone" I call, as she's half way up the street. Right, well, never mind.
Five minutes later the phone rings and we can see that it's her. "Somebody get that" I yell, as I help Little Guy brush his teeth. Despite living in an American house, there's no phone in the downstairs loo. The Ball & Chain manages to dive for the kitchen phone before it bounces into e-mail.
"What? What do you need? You're breaking up? Call back on a school phone."
She calls back twice more on her cell phone, perhaps hoping for miraculous improvement by ATT&T. It hasn't happend in twenty years, so why it would suddently improve cell phone reception in under five minutes is beyond me.
Given that she's attenpted to call home twice now, it appears to be a national emergency so we stand guard at various phones. Then my brain wave:
"Text her", I say. "She can always send and receive texts". Isn't that the way teens communicate these days anyway?
"WHAT DO U ND?" texts the B&C.
Some huge emergency. Her response????
"Why R U still in the House?"

ABC... (update)
My daughter has been in a grotty mood since she started 6th form,
I get the teen angst,
I get that boys are pathetic,
I get the l'm not hungry and the l need chocolate NOW feelings,
I get the must have this, I MUST have that now demands,
I get the sleeping in until the evening news
and the latest design of wardrobe that was the carpet
I get that you have had enough, want a break and so want to take a gap year,
I get that you want to change your mind as it is very real now and you have the offers you want from several uni's,
I even get the swearing not to lightly under your breath.
I don't get the tantrums,
I don't get the crying,
I don't get the shrieking,
I don't get the quick weight loss, (even after swine flu)
I don't get that you need AAB at one uni' and BBB at another and ABC at another, in any subject but all for the same majors Law & politics WTF?
I don't get you have stay out until everything is closed at 4am (anything I had to do l could do by 11pm (but don't tell Moannie or JP)
I don't get the mixing of drinks, whisky, Guinness, light beer and that blue stuff!
I don't get how you can go out with £6 and come home sloshed with £1 left(was l stupid)
I don't get why you want out of here one moment and then you don't want out of here the next, is it the nature of things, l thought l got it.....
... is it something to do with the fact we feed, water, house, advance you money, clean your bathroom, sometimes even remove plates, drinks and mouldy food from your room, give you lifts, support you at school, advance you more money and care about you a hell of a lot!
(btw this is me taking a back seat and leaving you be!)
Ps.BEWARE- Teen girl was sent home from school today, nursey thinks she has chronic fatgue syndrome, post swine flu. Made appt for her next Monday as she will only see lady doc.Thinking about it, it all fits..weight loss, sleeping lots daytime too, eating odd things at odd times, overwhelmed by everything, hating everything. So NOT JUST being a teen then...will let you know how it pans out. I just feel l should be behind her and make sure she gets through these crucial 4 months unscathed and hopefully rewarded.

Don't worry - I'm out looking for the plot!
I don't know what's happened to my parenting blogging Mojo, mes bloggy loves...
I seem to flit like a gaddy butterfly, from subject to subject, from write to wrong.
I keep thinking of things to scribble about. My grand-mother. My late father. Something funny someone's said. And my routine is all to pot basically...
My son is studying for his last exams in school. He leaves school at the end of summer. We will celebrate with a holiday. Rome. Paris. Scarborough. He will take one of his five offers of a place at University, Goddess Wiki willing! We will pack his stuff. By which I mean mine and our stuff! We will pack him off with books and love, oodles of money and food, and love.
I flit between longing for time to myself. Moments not fraught with arguments and strewn with strife. I shan't miss our Battles of Wit. I shan't miss the hurtful things he can say to me... That spring from no-where and from no-one I know...
I shall miss his sparkle, his humour, his quick-wit and wild abandon. His eyes half-shut in sleep, cornflakes caked hard in sweet and sour milk on china bowls. I shall covet the stolen bear-hugs, when he forgets to be rock-hard and becomes my little pumpkin once more...
I shall revert to type. I don't really remember who I am. Nor who I was at any time in the past, when I wasn't his mum.
I shall be me.
I won't miss his laundry, mind.
But I suspect I'll still see it on weekend visits!

The New Phone
On Saturday I had 2 mornings, as if getting out of bed just once isn't bad enough!!! I'm not great in the morning.
I was awake at 3am to take my SO to the airport and then returned home to bed, being woken the second time by a Small Sprog with and a roaring dinosaur! He often brings his Nintendo into bed in the morning. Getting up the second time in one day wasn't any easier than the first.
This morning the children and I are all in my room again, on various electronic devices. I can't think where they get that from!
Small Sprog is creating a virtual creature to do battle with, I am here, obviously, on my laptop and Tall Girl is playing truly awful music on her new phone, which apparently is the best thing in the world........
Yesterday we went to Tesco to get her a new phone. Before we get there she tells me how she likes a particular phone that all her friends have, but that it seems to break easily. So when we get to the 'phone dept', she points to the said phone and says that is the one she wants.
'You must be joking' I say as she throws a pout my way 'You said it is hopeless, and just look at the price!'
The pout gets more pronounced. If she had been two years old she'd be lying on the floor kicking and screaming!
'Have a look at the others, there must be another one that you like?'
Obviously there wasn't, not one! Why on earth didn't I delegate this job to her father?
I tried to point out that she has just had a birthday and Christmas and a laptop in September and the fact that her existing phone has just decided to die, didn't mean she could have a top of the range phone, just for nothing. End of lecture! The pout continued.
'Well, you'll just have to make do with your old one until it completely gives up' I say determinedly, beginning to walk away.
I noticed a moment of panic in her eyes. I had found her weak spot!
To cut a long story short, we found a medium priced phone that she deemed acceptable. By the time we arrived back to the car she was beaming with excitement! She tore open the box, loaded her Sim and memory card and before we were out of the car park, she was oohing and ahhhing about all its various attributes. It was 'The Best Phone In The World'. Damn I thought, I could have got away with an even cheaper version!

Totally aware of what's going on.
At my son's school (a 14-19 college) they allow the students to arrange with the individual teacher suitable appointments for parents night. Yes, we'll all raise our middle aged eyebrows at the wisdom of that idea.
So, I asked my son who I'm going to see and at what time.
And his reply...
"Oh, I didn't bother I thought you could just speak to them in the staffroom or something"
And my response...
"I haven't taught there since July"
I do actually live with my son.

The Best of Intentions
I don't know, I just thought the new school year would kick off with a little more, hmmm, organization/organisation. I'd had two weeks of sitting around with not enough to do while everyone else was out on the slopes. The "reminders" and "to-do" lists had used up all the memory on my phone. I have significantly reduced my Pinot Grigio intake, mainly due to histamine reactions to the merest whiff, so my mind is razor sharp. (OK, poetic license/licence there.)
I made all kids go to bed at a reasonable time on Sunday night, the backpacks were ready at the door, the PE clothes washed and ready, cell phones, keys and other paraphernalia located. Oh yeah....2010 is bringing some changes, I thought.
Now, I admit that we were an hour behind on Monday morning, having spent two weeks on Mountain Time instead of Central Time, so waking up was going to be a challenge. The Ball & Chain usually gets up five minutes before me and makes so much noise that there's no way I could ever fall back to sleep, but since he's on a quote unquote "conference", I was in charge. Managed to wake the man-child a whole ten minutes before he had set his alarm - not a happy camper, to put it mildly.
"Oh for god's sake it's only ten minutes" I said. He displayed a surprisingly dry wit for a just-woken teen when he punched back with "Oh yeah, 'cause you wouldn't mind at all". I sloped off, stage right.
The Queenager said she was awake when I popped my head in, but she could have been sleep-talking. The Little Guy - was nowhere to be seen. At 6, he's perfecty capable of getting his own breakfast, as long as I don't mind wiping up the half gallon of milk that doesn't make it into the cereal bowl, so I wasn't worried. I'm not thrilled about him getting up earlier than 7am though. Why? Because he can't tell the time yet (eek) so neither of us have any idea how long he has been up. Has he been watching TV for two minutes or two hours? How much sleep did he actually get?
Anyhoo, after much questioning, the teenagers were allowed to leave for school. (Phone? Keys? PE stuff? Homework?) "Mom", they wailed as one, with maximum lack of patience, and much eye-rolling.
And yes, it happened.
Two minutes before leaving with Little Guy, came the first phone call. It was so predictable that even LG said "Oh that must be one of them."
Me: "Yes", stretching out the word for maximum effect.
Queenager: "Oh thank god you're still there." (Playing to an audience of at least six high schoolers, I deduced.)
Me: "Well...."
Queenager: "I forgot my math homework. Can you bring it please."
Me: "What, - the stuff you were panicking about last week and have been working on ALL weekend?"
Queenager: "OK, OK. Pleeeeze can you bring it? Thanks. Love ya."
Thirty seconds before leaving, there it goes again.
Me: "What now?"
Man-child: "Whuh?"
Me: "Oh it's you. What's the matter?"
M-C: "Hey. Mom? (Pause) I forgot my key. You will be in at 3.30pm won't you?"
Me: "What if I'm not?" (Like I go anywhere.)
M-C: "Mom". Again with the hour-long word.
Me: "Yes, I suppose so". (Implying huge sacrifice on my part.)
M-C: "Cool. (Pause) See ya".
Oh well. What's that song? Tomorrow, tomorrow......

Ten Ways I Know the Teenagers are MIA
The teenagers and their little prodigy (aged 9) have disappeared Down Under to torment the Father for a month. We can tell they’re Missing In Action. Here’s how:
1/ Water – We have water. We have HOT water, on demand! This little terrace in North Hampshire has become our latest spa. Now if I could only figure out how to get manly, muscled attendants to preside over my la salle de bain.
2/I threw out a bottle of milk, because it was past its use by! I know. I can’t remember ever doing that before. Typically the Son (15) skulls the milk with cornflakes to build up his strength for another demanding day building levels on Little Big Planet. Dark Princess (13 going on 30) is determined to nip osteoporosis in the bud so she downs the rest of the carton before anyone wakes. We are perpetually short of milk, so much so I’ve considered raising a cow in the back yard.
3/ The TV has not magically turned itself onto Cartoon Network overnight.
4/I have loo roll, dishwashing and washing machine tablets, and enough butter left to freeze and carve into a sculpture!
5/At midnight last night I could hear something creaking in Son’s room.
6/I can dash to the loo in the middle of the night without having to grab my ever-so-sexy black velour dressing gown, and no one yells ‘Muuuuuum’. (‘This embarrassingly stretch-marked body gave birth to you child!’)
7/ I can play Tainted Love without being reminded how old I am by the teens knowing all the words (it’s on Guitar Hero as a retro hit)
8/I have bandwidth. It’s not being sucked away by Limewire or online battles of Age of Empires.
9/I feel the need to engage my Englishman in petty argument. I’m just not getting enough verbal sparring.
10/I can locate all of my clothes. They are not stuffed under Dark Princess’ bed in a smelly heap. Pairs of shoes are still in my wardrobe not missing last seen at school/dance/drama. I have hair ties for the gym, and I haven’t had to look at a nit comb in a fortnight!!
I have two more weeks of this strange regime and then they will return. I’ll probably be missing them by then.

Incedious Unwanted Guest
And I have kicked him out.
We have busy house with lots of people and lots of space.
We have one TV, no cable, no Tivo (I actually don't even know what that it, exactly), and pretty ancient guidelines/rules about watching only on the weekend.
Over the last year or so, the TV has been making a more and more invasive presence in our home. Borrowing movies from the library has become an almost weekly expectation. Teenagers like all kinds of crazy television. Saturday morning Yu-gi-oh turning into Saturday afternoon bad 70s movies, turning into baseball games, and now football games. I haven't liked the refocusing, but I have let guidelines be bent.
Until this weekend....when a disrespectful unload from a teenage mouth that had just spent hours in front of the television led me to walk to the box, unplug it, and remove it from the living room. I didn't have to or plan to offer an explanation.
You might be wondering what television has to do with a disrespectful mouth. Well, it's all attachment. Television disconnects from relationships and when our kids are disconnected from the loving people around them, they forget how to behave. Sounds simple...and in many ways it really is simple.
The kids were facing a Sunday through Wednesday holiday from school and were seems they have completely forgotten how to make themselves happy without the plug in box.
"What do you expect us to do while you are at work all day?"
"You mean, after you finish your chores?"
"Uh, um, yeah...?"
"It's not my job to entertain you, my dear. I am sure that you can figure it out."
When I returned home on Monday afternoon, the house was quiet. I couldn't hear a peep. Only the dogs greeted me at the door.
Good golly, they ran away to a house with cable!
Actually, I found them. Quietly doing a variety of creative activities in their rooms!
I love when it is so clear that we, as parents, do the difficult, but right thing!
Yours in Chaos,

Jennifer Aniston talks children, divorce and sexism in tell-all interview
The 49 year-old actress speaks out and has a few words to say to the baby-shamers.
By Alex Lilly
She's been one of the most-watched women in the world for years but despite going through a divorce, Jennifer Aniston is doing fine.
The Hollywood star graces the cover of the latest issue of InStyle and lifted the lid on her personal life with Molly McNearney, wife of funnyman Jimmy Kimmel. And from the baby shaming to life in the public eye to a possible Friends reunion, here's what she had to say.
On her relationships and decision to not have children
Jen and Justin announced their split in February 2018.
Jen and Justin announced their split in February 2018.
On how she deals with fame
"There are definitely moments of not being balanced and poised, but I do that all in my own personal space. For the most part I can sit back and laugh at the ridiculous headlines because they have gotten more and more absurd."
WATCH: Jennifer Aniston and Chelsea Handler read gossip about themselves in 2016.
On sexism in Hollywood and the #MeToo and Time's Up movements
"[#MeToo and Time's Up are] long overdue. But we also need to be better at listening to one another. That includes men. They need to be part of this conversation."
"When everyone is mad and aggressive, people become too afraid to speak and there is no conversation. Same goes for politics. We need to include each other, to hear each other out. We can't stoop to the anger. Michelle Obama said it best: 'When they go low, we go high.' We should all be living by that if we want real progress."
"I've definitely had some sloppy moves made on me by other actors, and I handled it by walking away. I've never had anyone in a position of power make me feel uncomfortable and leverage that over me. In my personal experience I've been treated worse verbally and energetically by some women in this industry."
Jen wore black to support the Time's Up movement at the 2018 Golden Globes ceremony. Pictured with Carol Burnett.
On the pressure for women to have a certain body type
"I love that the Miss America pageant is going to get rid of the swimsuit competition altogether."
"You know, a swimsuit body is a body in a swimsuit, no matter what that body is. It's time to just stop thinking beauty is in the shape of a size 4 and the right butt size and the right waist size and the right measurements. It's just old. We've done it. We've been there. Let's move on."
Jennifer is over the body shaming.

On living in a technological world
"I don't have Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram accounts. I will totally admit that I can dip into Instagram and sort of be a secret voyeur. I'm a creeper."
"There are times when I'll look through and think, 'Oh my god, what a time suck!' I've been with people who spend maybe an hour figuring out this one post, and you're like, 'That just took up an hour of your life, and it's gone in 60 seconds.' It feels like we are losing connection. I think we're losing conversation. It's hard enough being a teenager and feeling like you fit in."
"Now we're actively creating an environment and a platform for you to tell someone, 'I like you' or 'I don't like you.' That seems like an unhealthy formula for already-insecure adolescents. We're pouring fuel on a fire."
On a potential Friends reboot
"Before that show ended, people were asking if we were coming back. Courteney [Cox] and Lisa [Kudrow] and I talk about it. I fantasize about it. It really was the greatest job I ever had. I don't know what it would look like today, but you never know."
"So many shows are being successfully rebooted. I know Matt LeBlanc doesn't want to be asked that question anymore. But maybe we could talk him into it. Or we just give it some time and then Lisa, Courteney, and I could reboot The Golden Girls and spend our last years together on wicker furniture."

Title: Itinerant ferromagnetism in an interacting Fermi gas with mass imbalance
Abstract: We study the emergence of itinerant ferromagnetism in an ultra-cold atomic gas with a variable mass ratio between the up and down spin species. Mass imbalance breaks the SU(2) spin symmetry leading to a modified Stoner criterion. We first elucidate the phase behavior in both the grand canonical and canonical ensembles. Secondly, we apply the formalism to a harmonic trap to demonstrate how a mass imbalance delivers unique experimental signatures of ferromagnetism. These could help future experiments to better identify the putative ferromagnetic state. Furthermore, we highlight how a mass imbalance suppresses the three-body loss processes that handicap the formation of a ferromagnetic state. Finally, we study the time dependent formation of the ferromagnetic phase following a quench in the interaction strength.

Bridget moynahan colin farrell dating - bryan redfield dating system
A statuesque brunette of Irish descent, Bridget Moynahan first turned heads as Mr.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Colin Farrell The film is about a brilliant young CIA trainee (Farrell) who is asked by his mentor (Al Pacino) to help find a mole in the Agency. is a better movie than Patrick would have you believe.I found it entertaining and sometimes even exciting.As the suspense builds in a maze of gripping twists and turns, there are only two things James can count on -- he can't trust anyone and nothing is as it seems.It's the ultimate CIA thriller with so many surprise plot twists, you'll want to watch it again and again.James quickly rises through the ranks and falls for Layla (Bridget Moynahan, THE SUM OF ALL FEARS), one of his fellow recruits.
But just when James starts to question his role and his cat-and-mouse relationship with his mentor, Burke taps him to root out a mole.Everything builds to a rather implausible and unsatisfactory climax. Colin Farrell has the goods to become a major star, ditto for Bridget Moynahan and Pacino remains a riveting and powerful presence on the screen even if he seems to be playing a parody of himself these days.They should try it again with a better script and different director at the helm.Once there he meets, and is immediately attracted to, fellow trainee Layla (Bridget Moynahan).They flirt with each other and form a bond, of sorts; all the while Burke is bombastically and incessantly reminding them "Everything is a test." The first half of the movie is the more enjoyable.The Recruit is one of those movies that manage to entertain on the surface as long as one is willing to not scratch underneath for any signs of intelligence.

The media has portrayed us (African American women) in a light slightly south of positive and there’s a lot of re-education that must take place: Yes, I enjoy water sports. Yes, I share the ability to get angry like everyone else, however, an ‘angry Black woman’ I am not.

How to load MyCroft onto a google home mini?
if you have spotify premium, you can get a google home mini for free.
So i was thinking why not load mycroft onto it?
Is this possible? How would i go about doing this?
There’s a previous thread about this, tl;dr: don’t bother. Would take an exceptional amount of work to hack, from getting a console to loading an os and shrinking mycroft to run in the (small) amount of ram it has.
dang it
thank you for responding

One by one, the knifeman killed my 9 children
As Muslims and Christians butcher each other, fears are growing that the Central African Republic is sliding into genocidal anarchy
AS THE militiamen wielding guns, knives and machetes stormed into his village, Massoudo Bichefou fled into the tall grass near his home. The rest of his family were too slow.
Bichefou, 55, watched from his hiding place as armed men dragged his nine children and a grandchild in front of a large fighter clutching a knife. One by one the man slit the throats of each child. Then he killed both of Bichefou’s wives.
“Then [they killed] more people; people they had caught in the neighbourhood. There were bodies everywhere,” he told Human Rights Watch, which has conducted extensive research into abuses committed during the conflict in the Central African Republic, one of the continent’s poorest and most troubled nations.

Category Archives: Biographical Essays
The name of John Hollingsworth is synonyms with Hammer films, why? Because Hollingsworth was the studios musical director, he was responsible for scoring, conducting and supervising the music department at Hammer, it was Hollingsworth that gave composers such as James Bernard, Richard Rodney Bennet, Malcom Williamson, Don Banks and Gary Hughes. Hollingsworth began his duties at Hammer in 1954, his first assignment being THE STRANGER CAME HOME. Hollingsworth had worked for Hammer previously in 1951, when he acted as musical director on NEVER LOOK BACK. But, it was when he took over from Ivor Slaney full time in 1954, that Hollingsworth began to make his mark upon the high quality of the scores that were utilised by the studio. Hollingsworth had conducted for James Bernard before Hammer, and they collaborated on the music for two radio plays, THE DEATH OF HECTOR and THE DUCHESS OF MALFI, and it was the latter score that made Hollingsworth think of Bernard when it came to assigning a composer on THE QUATERMASS XPERIMENT, the score had originally been given to John Hotchkiss, but because the composer fell ill during writing the score, Hammer needed a composer quickly, Hollingsworth asked Bernard who accepted and the rest they say is History as far as Bernard is concerned.
Hollingsworth was born in Enfield Middlesex on March 20th, 1916, he was educated at Bradfield college and then went onto to study music at the Guildhall School of Music. As early as 1937, Hollingsworth had become an accomplished conductor, and found himself conducting the London Symphony Orchestra. During the second world war, he joined the RAF, and in 1943, became the first RAF sergeant to conduct The National Symphony Orchestra, he toured with the NSO and gave concerts in both the UK and the USA. He conducted concerts in front of many dignitaries and world leaders, which included, Stalin, Truman and Churchill. After the war Hollingsworth became much in demand and became assistant to Muir Matheson and worked on films such as BRIEF ENCOUNTER. After three years Hollingsworth became musical director at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, London. This was an association that would endure some ten years, he also became principal conductor for The Tunbridge Wells Symphony Orchestra during this time and was assistant conductor to Sir Malcolm Sargent at the Proms.
Hollingsworth, stayed at Hammer until 1963, his last scoring assignment being THE DEVIL SHIP PIRATES, he was working on THE EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN which was composed by Don Banks when he passed away at his home in London. He died of T.B. on December 29th, 1969.
Australian-born composer and multi-instrumentalist, trained on piano, saxophone, violin and trombone. The son of a jazz musician, he grew up and was educated in Melbourne. After serving with the Army Medical Corps during the war years, he studied at the University Conservatorium of Music and graduated with a diploma in composition. Banks moved to England in 1950 to continue his training under the Hungarian émigré Matyas Seiber, while supporting himself financially as a sideman in a dance band.
During the 1950’s, he composed a number of concertos and chamber music which attracted critical notice. He won several prestigious awards, including the Sir Arnold Bax Society Medal (1959). One of his works, ‘Four Pieces for Orchestra’ was performed by the London Philharmonic in 1954. Due in part to his father’s legacy, he also remained very much steeped in jazz, both as a player and as arranger. He became more prolific as a jazz composer after cultivating a friendship with Cleo Laine and John Dankworth. The resulting creative partnership spawned a series of works which fused classical music and jazz, including “Settings from Roget” (1966). He later created pieces like ‘Nexus’ (1971), for jazz quartet and symphony orchestra; and ‘Take 8’ (1973) for jazz and string quartet. Furthermore, Banks was at the cutting edge of combining traditional acoustic instruments with electronics, including using some of the first available synthesizers, eventually becoming a founding member of the British Society for Electronic Music.
Primarily for commercial reasons, Don Banks joined Hammer studios in 1962. He wrote several atmospheric scores for thrillers and horror films, working in tandem with musical directors Philip Martell and John Hollingsworth. Best among a body a body of diverse and polished works, are his jazzy, typically 60’s ‘film noir’ score for Hysteria (1965); his eerie, dramatic theme for Nightmare (1964), full of foreboding and hidden terror; and the equally evocative score for The Reptile (1966), with its predominant Indian motifs.
Banks left Hammer after five years to resume, what he regarded as more serious musical pursuits. In 1972, he returned to Australia to take up a position with the Canberra School of Music, followed thereafter by appointments to the music board of the Australian Council for the Arts and as head of composition to the New South Wales Conservatorium of Music. Physically frail and afflicted for the last eight years of his life by leukemia, he died in September 1980, aged 56.
Composer Hans May, was born as Johannes Mayer on July 11th,1886, in Vienna, Austria.
Although at the time it was referred to as Austro/Hungaria. He left his native Vienna after the Nazis began to take power at first settling in France and eventually heading for the shores of England in 1936 after his Jewish roots began to put him in danger from the Nazis. The composer was known mainly at the beginning of his career for writing songs, many of which became popular and firm favourites throughout Europe. He also composed original scores for silent movies in both Berlin and Paris, and was much in demand for this during the mid-1920, s through to the 1930, s. He visited England in 1930, but at this time focused primarily upon the scoring of German pictures and projects. With the advent of the talkies and sound the composer came into his own and would often work on films that were operettas, or musicals, he re-located to France in the latter part of 1934, and worked on THE MAYERLING in 1935. His career was successful within the area of writing music for film, albeit mainly for shorts and musicals and after settling in London in the late 1930,sthe composer began to write for more and more feature length films and reached his creative and most prolific peak during the 1940,s, working on a varied collection of motion pictures which were produced by The Boulting Brothers and Rank/Gainsborough Pictures, most notably THE WICKED LADY and the classic motion picture BRIGHTON ROCK in 1947.
But it was his score for THUNDER ROCK in 1942 that attracted attention to the composer, the movie which was a Boulting Brothers production, starred Michael Redgrave, James Mason and Barbara Mullen, and was a psychological thriller/fantasy. By the summer of 1944, the composer was employed by The Rank Organisation, which was at the time the largest production company in England. May scored a long line of highly successful and popular movies, one of the first being THE MADONNA OF THE SEVEN MOONS in 1944.
Which was the film that established him as one of the leading figures in film scoring and one of the Fathers of the British Golden age of music for the cinema. The composer was granted permission by the British Government to continue to work in his chosen career during the dark days of the second world war and as the war came to an end could continue writing music for movies that were produced by British companies. His career continued through to the 1950, s and he was responsible for not only writing film scores but also for collaborating with various lyricists on many songs and for co-writing musicals such as the west end show, WEDDING IN PARIS (1954), which was a great success on the London stage with actor Anton Walbrook in the lead role. He also returned to scoring movies in his homeland and worked on a handful of German productions in the late 1950, s.
It was not until 1957 that the composer returned to the European continent and resumed writing for both film and stage productions. His first scoring assignment being in his own place of birth Austria when he scored the movie, DER KAISER UND DAS WASCHERMADEL. There is no doubt if the composer had been born some four decades earlier he would have become an important figure within the Viennese operetta golden age, his style being very similar and evocative of some of his older contemporaries such as FERENCZ LEHAR and EMMERICH KALMAN. Let us not forget that May was responsible for some of the most successful German language songs from the 1930, s such as ES WIRD IM LEBEN DIR MEHR GENOMMEN ALS GEGEBEN in 1936 and EIN LIED GEHT UM DIE WELT in 1933.
He was truly a composer for all genres and was easily able to turn his talents of composition and orchestration to film, and adapting and creating wonderful pieces for both stage and musical theatre. Hans May was not only an incredibly gifted composer and a talented musician, but during the 1920, s was also a performer. During the 1950, s, the composer’s health began to deteriorate, and he passed away on January 2nd, 1959 in the South of France.
When one thinks of Wally Stott I think you straight away remember the GOON show, as it was Stott who was musical director for many of these madcap pieces of comedy genius that featured the likes of Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Harry Secombe. Born Walter
Wally Stott on March 10th,1924. Stott later in life (1972) underwent sex reassignment surgery and returned to composing as Angela Morley. Stott often attributed his entry into music composition and arranging to the influences of the light music composer conductor Robert Farnon and it was within the area of light music or easy listening as we refer to it nowadays that Stott first made a name for himself. Writing popular pieces of music that were loved by the music buying public in England during the 1950’s.
He was also involved in writing music for radio broadcasts and provided the now familiar theme and incidental music for Hancock’s Half Hour, it was also during this period that Stott began to work as the musical director for the third series of THE GOON SHOW, which began to run from 1952 and finished in 1960.

She died in Scottsdale Arizona on January 14th, 2009 aged 84.
Born John Douglas Louis Veale in Bromley Kent on June 15th,1922, composer John Veale, is again one of the driving and original forces within British concert hall and film music that is at times sadly overlooked. Veale attended the Dragon School in Oxford from 1930 through to 1936, and then later went to Repton school which was in Derbyshire from 1936 up until 1940. After this Veale attended The Corpus Christi College in Oxford until 1942 where he studied History. Even when he was a young child Veale took a keen interest in music, which was something of a surprise as none of his family as in his parents or siblings were musically inclined, although his Father did like to listen to Gilbert and Sullivan. Veale found himself particularly attracted to the sound of the wind instruments and whilst attending the Dragon School and at the age of twelve was given a clarinet for his Birthday. He taught himself to play the instrument and when he moved onto Repton School took lessons and began to experiment in composing. He then began to play in the school orchestra and was a member of a jazz band and tried to emulate his hero at the time Benny Goodman. It was the arrival of his new music teacher in 1939, John Gardener who opened the young composers mind to other composers and widened his appreciation of the classical music world, in the form of Sibelius and Shostakovich that really fired up Veale’s interest in composition. It was Gardener who also introduced Veale to the work of William Walton via a performance of Walton’s first symphony. Veale also became interested in the music of Bartok, Bax, Ravel, Vaughn Williams, Rawsthorne and Barber. All of which made a lasting impression upon him and shaped the way in which he fashioned his own music in the following years. During the second world war, Veale spent his war service in the Education Corps, and during this time he continued to study music unofficially with Egon Wellesz and had lessons from Sir Thomas Armstrong in harmony and counterpoint. It was during this period that the composer had his first works performed and completed his first symphony.
early3 After the composer was demobbed, he returned to Oxford where he continued his studies with Wellesz and further studied music. He began to write incidental music for the theatre, and it was a piece of music from one such production LOVES LABOURS LOST (1947) that began Veale’s involvement in writing for films, the composer sent a copy of his score for the production to Muir Mathieson, who after seeing it asked Veale to write music for The Crown Film Unit, it was via this assignment that Veale met conductor John Hollingsworth, who was assistant to Sir Malcolm Sargent. Veale then became friends and moved in musical circles with many of the most respected composers of that period, Elizabeth Lutyens, William Walton, Humphrey Searle, Constant Lambert, Alan Rawsthorne plus poets and writers such as Dylan Thomas, Philip Larkin and Kingsley Amis.
It was around 1954 that Veale returned to writing music for film, John Hollingsworth attended a performance of the composer’s clarinet concerto and had heard that Muir Mathieson was looking for a composer to write the score for THE PURPLE PLAIN which was a movie that starred American actor Gregory Peck. After hearing Veale’s clarinet concerto Hollingsworth spoke with Mathieson, who agreed that Veale would be right for the film. The score was a great success for the composer and this led to other film scoring assignments that included, WAR IN THE AIR which was a documentary for television and the feature films, PORTRAIT OF ALISON-aka POSTMARK FOR DANGER (1955) and THE SPANISH GARDENER (1956) which starred the then British heart throb Dirk Bogarde. Veale’s score for this was grandiose and dramatic and had to it a hint of the style employed by Miklos Rosza in his early British movies.
After this the composer worked on several B movies, CLASH BY NIGHT, THE HOUSE IN MARSH ROAD, HIGH TIDE AT NOON and NO ROAD BACK which was an early movie for Sean Connery and featured Alfie Bass.
As the 1960, s began Veale and composers like him who wrote romantic and richly thematic music seemed to fall out of favour, the music fans at that time opting for the pop music revolution or the more Avant Garde and modern sounding music. The decades of the 60, s and the 70, s were not kind to the composer. But interest in his music soon returned during the 1980, s and the 1990, s. With Chandos records recording a few his works. John Veale may not have written the scores to that many movies, but the few he did write were impressive and filled with rich thematic material. He battled prostate cancer for many years but finally had to leave Oxford and return to Bromley where he resided in a care home, he passed away on November 16th, 2006.

I worked here for a total of one week. Their training methods worked for maybe 3 of the dogs I worked with in the week I was there.
What I saw behind closed doors disgusted me. One time the trainer was trying to get the dog it sit on top of an upside-down bucket, and the poor pup didn't want to and was being shocked and literally strangled, pulled up by his collar,hanging from the end of the leash kicking and screeching, choking and utterly terrified while the trainer forced him up. 2 other trainers just sat there and watched saying oh dear he's being so difficult today eh? I was like WTF!
While working here I had to endure listening to dogs screeching and crying all damn day because they get electrocuted for not doing the right thing. Oh, and worst of all I has absolutely no dog training experience and they gave me the job telling me I would be fully trained. They gave me the remote after 3 days... Kept telling me to turn up the shock when the dog doesn't do what you ask.
The trainers have no education and they just make you zap away until the dog does what you want.
It's horrible. By the time you pick up your dog, sure they'll do what you want and you'll think they're so well trained but in reality they're broken and terrified...

Diabetes in pets
Updated: 4/17/2007 1:07 pm
Diabetes is a disease related to insulin, a hormone that helps the body use sugar, or glucose (GLOO-kohs), for fuel. Due to insulin problems, people and pets with diabetes can't properly convert food to energy. Common warning signs are unusual thirst and hunger, frequent urination, and sudden weight loss. If diabetes goes untreated, severe or fatal complications can develop, including kidney failure, blindness, and coma. There are three forms of diabetes. Type 1 is a condition in which the body produces no insulin at all. Most diabetic dogs have type 1 diabetes and therefore usually require insulin shots to control the disease. Owners are also advised to feed three or four smaller meals a day. In type 2 diabetes, the animal usually produces some insulin, but its body can't properly utilize the hormone. Type 2 diabetes is most often associated with excess weight and advancing age. Cats typically have type 2 diabetes and may or may not need shots. A few cats may respond to weight loss and dietary changes alone. Type 3 diabetes occurs as a secondary reaction to certain diseases or from the chronic use of drugs like corticosteroids (kor-tih-koh-STEER-oidz). Treatment of diabetes in pets often demands a daily routine of measuring glucose and giving shots, but is usually successful if the disease is diagnosed early.

Whatever is found what is called a paternal government was found a State education. It has been discovered that the best way to insure implicit obedience [is] to commence tyranny in the nursery.
The value of philosophy is to be sought largely in its very uncertainty. He who has no tincture of philosophy goes through life imprisoned in the prejudices derived from common sense, from the habitual beliefs of his age or his nation, and from convictions which have grown up in his mind without the cooperation or consent of his deliberate reason. As soon as we begin to philosophize, on the contrary, we find that even the most everyday things lead to problems to which only very incomplete answers can be given. Philosophy, though unable to tell us with certainty what is the true answer to the doubts which it raises, is able to suggest many possibilities which enlarge our thought and free them from the tyranny of custom.
The multitude which is not brought to act as unity, is confusion. That unity which has not its origin in the multitude is tyranny.
Plurality which is not reduced to unity is confusion. Unity which does not depend on plurality is tyranny.
The pressure that has been brought to bear upon the native people, since the cessation of armed conflict, in the attempt to force conformity of custom and habit has caused a reaction more destructive than war, and the injury has not only affected the Indian, but has extended to the white population as well. Tyranny, stupidity, and lack of vision have brought about the situation now alluded to as the “Indian Problem.”
Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny.
The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward women, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her.
Suspicions amongst thoughts are like the bats amongst the birds, they ever fly by twilight: certainly they are to be repressed, or at least well guarded, for they cloud the mind, lose friends, check business, dispose kings to tyranny, husbands to jealousy, and wise men to irresolution and melancholy; they are defects, not in the heart, but in the brain.
It is far easier to act under conditions of tyranny than to think.
It is the American vice, the democratic disease which expresses its tyranny by reducing everything unique to the level of the herd.
Protection against the tyranny of the magistrate is not enough; there needs protection against the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling, against the tendency of society to impose, by other means than civil penalties, its own ideas and practices as rules of conduct on those who dissent from them.
Why were we able to put hundreds of thousands of troops and support personnel in Saudi Arabia within a few months to fight Saddam Hussein when we are unable to mobilize hundreds of teachers or doctors and nurses and social workers for desperately underserved inner cities and rural areas to fight the tyranny of poverty and ignorance and child neglect and abuse?
When the will of man is raised above law it is always tyranny and despotism, whether it is the will of a bashaw or of bastard patriots.

Electric Car Home Solar Charging Guide
There are a lot of reasons why electric cars are more beneficial than a conventional car that uses petrol or diesel. First off, an EV is good for the environment. It helps reduce air pollution since this type of car has no exhaust emissions.
In some Australian states, EV owners can claim some form of reward or rebate. For instance, in the ACT, EVs registered are stamp duty-exempted. Meanwhile, those registered in Victoria get a $100 discount on yearly registration fees.
EVs are also cheaper to run and maintain. You can even use your renewable energy for your electric car. Many people worry about how much power they need to recharge the vehicle. After all, it is not like a phone that only requires a small amount of energy. We are talking about a fully functioning vehicle.
residential solar panel installation
Thankfully, the car’s energy consumption is not the same as your whole house. You may have also heard about a certain method. If your answer to the two questions below is “yes,” then this method may be useful for you:
• Do you own an electric vehicle?
• Do you own a solar energy system during the life of your EV?
You may have guessed it already, but is it possible for you to charge your electric car using the power of the sun? Here is the simple answer: yes.
Solar Energy and Electric Vehicles
We now live in a wonderful time where electric cars exist. Technology has found many great methods that will allow us to save. One of the most important inventions of all time is the use of solar energy through a solar system. This system enables us to harness the limitless energy of the sun.
There may come a time when fossil fuels will run out. Consumption of fossil fuels is on the rise all around the world. The global temperature is increasing because of the continuous burning of these resources. To keep the average temperature below 1.5 degrees Celsius, there should be about 80% of fossil fuel reserves.
Renewable sources of energy, such as solar, are among the best solutions available today. Over the past decade or so, solar energy has become even more accessible to homes and businesses. According to Energy Matters, more than 20% of homes in Australia have installed solar panels over the last few years. This percentage is equivalent to over two million residents in the country.
Aside from the surge in demand for solar panel installations, the systems have a much higher energy capacity than previous generations of the technology. They can now handle the energy demands of the whole house. Perhaps you can add your electric car as well, right? Even more good news is the fact that companies, such as Tesla and Nissan, are making sure that electric cars will become more mainstream in the coming years.
Unfortunately, there still seems to be a lack of awareness regarding the scalability of solar energy systems. With such a characteristic, you can keep the costs low, especially during the installation process.
Charging EVs with Solar: Is It Possible?
It is not only possible to recharge your electric vehicle with solar; it is becoming commonplace around the world. Owners who know how to take advantage of their solar system understand that it can supply the needed power to charge their cars.
Most solar systems today can generate an adequate amount of electricity for the whole household. There is still some power left for charging a car. This common question often arises: What if you only have 10 solar panels? Can you use the solar system to charge a car? Yes, you can! You have enough supply to charge the battery of the car while still keeping the lights on in your home.
How Much Power Do You Need for Your EV?
Before starting, the first thing you need to do is to know your solar system’s capacity. If you do not have a solar system yet, but already own an electric car, it makes sense to calculate the energy you will need. Include the vehicle in your calculations – even if you do not truly intend to use solar for recharging.
Before the installation, figure out the energy your car battery will use. Gaining this simple piece of information will help you determine the solar array size to purchase. You should also consider the appliances and your main intention for the solar panel installation. It is rare for homeowners to use the system for the sole purpose of recharging their electric car, anyway.
You should also know the mileage rating of your vehicle. It will help you calculate your savings if you plan to switch from a conventional vehicle to an electric car.
How many panels do you need? Petrol cars use L/100km to determine fuel consumption. It simply states that the number of litres the car will consume to travel 100 kilometres. As for electric cars, they utilise kilowatt-hour per kilometre. Note that kilowatt and kilowatt-hour are not the same quantities. Therefore, it is important to know the difference between the two.
checking electric vehicle charge via smartphone
It may still sound a little complicated to you, so let us make it simpler. If you have a home that requires about 20kWh of power each day, your needs could be covered by approximately 16 panels or 5kW of solar capacity. When it comes to driving, you typically drive 10km daily and it can sometimes go up to 60km.
To know how much solar power you need, here is a guide for you:
• If you drive one to 20km daily, you need about 1kW of extra panels to charge in the daytime and 4kWh to charge at night using batteries.
• Driving 21 to 40km will require additional 2kW panels and 8kWh battery storage for night-time charging.
• If you drive at least 41km to 60km per day, you need up to 3kW additional capacity for daytime charging. Meanwhile, you will need 12kWh of additional battery to charge at night.
Still, the consumption will depend on the car itself. Some calculations show that a 40km/day driving will only use about 15% of the Nissan Leaf battery. For a Tesla battery, it would use up to 8%.
As for kWh, you should provide the additional solar supply of approximately 6kW daily for a Nissan Leaf electric vehicle. On the other hand, an 8kWh per day for a Tesla would be suitable for a 40km per day drive.
For most people, a 5kW solar system would be enough to give them the energy they need for their home and even their car.
More about the Numbers
You may also be interested in the amount of additional solar you would need to fully charge an electric vehicle, particularly with the number of panels and their capacity. The computations may be quite complex, but you can make it simpler when you know the size of the car’s battery.
Let us say that you have a car with a 40kWh battery pack. It also has a range of 270km. To charge the battery using solar power during the day, you will need to add additional 10kW, which is often equivalent to 32 panels. It is the same amount of power that you will need to fully charge the car.
Meanwhile, if you plan to charge it overnight, you will be required to install battery storage with 40kWh capacity.
What if you have a top-range car? It may have a 100kWh battery pack with 540km range. Charging the battery will require an additional 25kW system, which is equivalent to about 80 panels in total. You will also need a battery storage capacity of 100kWh to charge at night.
It can be quite difficult, especially because most network operators will not let homes to install solar panels with more than 15kW capacity. In reality, renewable energy, particularly solar, is not a one-size-fits-all approach.
There is little doubt that charging EVs via solar will soon be common practice. Although you may initially think that you will end up spending more money, the returns will be incredibly high after just a few years.
Grid power will only get more expensive while renewable energy will become much cheaper. You can also add in the savings you get from using solar panels for your power consumption.
Compared to using grid power to charge your electric car, solar systems can give you 50% savings – or even more, depending on your consumption, car, usage, and other factors. It is common knowledge that using solar power will help reduce your electric bills.
The equation is simple: If you have solar and you use it to charge your EV, the result is getting maximum energy savings.

Charging an EV with a Solar System
During the winter, rainy season, or cloudy days, you may still need to charge your electric car using grid electricity. Therefore, you can already tell that the best way to recharge your vehicle using the panels is when the sun is shining.
Charging during the day when the sun is bright will give you the benefits that you aim to receive. It is possible that you can get solar power that is equal to (or even greater than) the power needed to charge the vehicle’s battery.
If, on the other hand, you have no choice but to recharge during a cloudy day, you will still require grid power. It is especially true if you have a small system.
Another thing to consider is the inverter. The inverter you use for your solar system should be able to handle at least six additional panels. If you already have an existing system, you may have to add some more panels. You do not want to end up buying a new inverter to accommodate the extra power you need. Always think for the long term, especially if you already have an electric car in your garage.
Here are the other important things that you should know about if you plan to charge your electric car using solar panels:
1. 1kWh of solar is not the same as 1kWh of car charge.
Charging losses occur and they can normally be more than 10%. Therefore, you cannot expect the panels, inverters, and car batteries to function the way they claim. Certain inefficiencies take place, which you always have to consider when you charge for a full trip.
Due to the losses, 1kWh system will only provide 900Wh of power for your car’s battery pack. If you wish to compensate for these losses, you need to add more solar panels on your roof.
2. Battery storage is nice but you do not need it to charge your car at night.
You will see numerous claims from companies telling you that you need battery storage to truly benefit from your solar system. Of course, these companies are selling the batteries, so you know why they give those claims.
Indeed, you can charge the battery system during daytime using solar energy. The stored energy will then be used to charge your electric car at night. While it is not wrong to do so, it is highly unlikely that you are saving money from this method. You can even gain more when you sell your excess power to the electric company. Meanwhile, you can utilise controlled load tariffs for charging your car when connected to the grid.
Another reason why you may want to skip using batteries is in relation to the environment. You help the environment more if you charge using your off-peak electricity during the night-time. Then, you send solar energy back to the grid during the daytime. The excess power you have generated will directly offset the electricity that comes from burning fossil fuels.
3. There are three levels of charging.
EV charging requires you to understand a few key things, including the charging levels, which are:
• Level 1
The slowest out of the three, you can get about 20km per hour, although it may depend on your vehicle.
• Level 2
The second level requires you to install a distinct EV charger, which gives more than 40km per hour. Expect to pay around $2,000 for the device. Some EV manufacturers need you to have a level 2 charger; otherwise, it will void the warranty.
• Level 3
Public charging stations offer the level 3 method, often called rapid charging. An example is the Tesla SuperCharger, which has locations in Australia, such as Ballarat, Adelaide, Wodonga, Perth, Canberra, Coffs Harbour, and Euroa. If you are running short of charge, you should quickly find the nearest charging station. They supply about 400km per hour.
While level 3 chargers are useful and convenient, not all EVs can use them. Make sure that your car is compatible first before you even use a charging station.
4. Consider micro-inverters.
Above, we have mentioned that inverters are important. However, a growing trend is using micro-inverters instead of a single string inverter. With the micro-inverters, every solar panel will have its own inverter. Therefore, it will be easier for you to install additional panels in case your car demands so.
When you use a microinverter, you will not have to worry about the capacity of your existing inverter. You also do not need to purchase another inverter to provide power for your electric car.
5. It may help if you install a smaller solar system.
If your room is big enough and there is room for another solar system, you can install another solar array. It may sound like another huge expense, but it can help significantly increase the solar power you generate. This addition will allow you to meet your energy needs today and in the future.
Even better, you can save money since it is your second installation. Plus, you can claim tax credits for the new solar system.
For the final tip, always consider your future use of solar energy. Calculate how much you will need, not just for this year or the next, but several years beyond. Whether you plan to buy an EV or add more rooms to your home, you should think about your future energy consumption in the future.
Talk to your solar installer before you even decide on anything. EasySolar will help you compute how much energy you require for your home and EV charging needs.

This was on the local CBS station
The Boston Globe is reporting:
Ah, the scary Mormons! The LDS church does not endorse candidates or campaign for them, but individuals are free. J. Reuben Clarke and Ezra Taft Benson, both apostles, served in government. There are 5 Mormon senators in Congress now, including Harry Reid and Orrin Hatch. The "key Romney consultant" is probably misstating the church's involvement. There are lots of wealthy LDS people who think that Romney would make a great president. There's nothing sinister in that. I suppose the Ted Kennedy gets a lot of support from Catholics, without being endorsed by the Church.
Utahns are used to critics charging that the LDS Church exerts excessive influence in local politics, but I find that nothing more than sour grapes. People vote according to their personal principles, which are often influenced by their religion. But Utahns are also Westerners and, like others in the intermountain areas, they tend to be conservative. But the Church doesn't tell them how to vote or which candidates to support. Every time there's a election a letter from the First Presidency goes out to every congregation stating that policy and reminding leaders that church property and meeting houses are not to be used by politicians or parties to promote themselves. The General Authorities of the church include Democrats and Republicans, but mostly they are interested in building the church, not partisan politics.
That won't stop this sort of innuendo and rumuor, but it reeks of an attempt to play on prejudice against Mormons to hurt Romney's chances. I support Romney because he's a capable executive who would make a good president. If I always supported Mormons, I'd feel obligated to back Harry Reid, whom I despise.

My Name is Asher Lev
Chaim Potok
Chapter 11
Chapter 10
Chapter 12
Asher begins study at the Ladover High School. He is surprised to discover that he has been enrolled in a French class. He questions the registrar about this and is told that the Rebbe explicitly requested that he study French throughout high school.
Asher prays for his parents and for Jacob Kahn on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. About three weeks later at Simchat Torah, a celebration of the Bible, Asher sees Jacob Kahn at the edge of a crowd among those watching the Ladover dancing in the streets. Asher pulls him into the celebration and they dance together with a Torah scroll.
Asher continues going to Kahn's studio on Sundays. In late October, Kahn has a show opening. Asher notices a sculpture depicted himself and Kahn. Anna marvels at what a success the show has been, but Jacob is unhappy. Jacob is sad that he does not have the resolve to simply stop having shows all together. Anna and Asher share a few words and she tells him that a very prominent family bought the sculpture of the heads of himself and Kahn. Asher feels a bit odd, knowing that his likeness will grace this family's home.
Asher's uncle decides to renovate the attic in order to give him a bigger space in which to live and work. To show his gratitude, Asher paints a portrait of their family for Chanukah. In January, Kahn takes Asher to a Van Gogh exhibit in Philadelphia. A month later, Asher discovers that Kahn had made a sculpture of the two of them dancing with a Torah. Kahn comes to a big Ladover celebration around the end of February. Kahn pulls Asher aside to tell him he will have to go to Europe for a month.
Asher's parents return at the end of March and stay at Uncle Yitzchok's house. There is tension between Asher and Aryeh. Yitzchok tries to talk to Aryeh, but it does no help. Rivkeh asks Asher to move to Vienna with them. He replies that his father will try to take away his art from him.
Kahn and Asher talk about his father's anger with him. Kahn says that he and his father have two different natures. He tells Asher to become a great artist; only in that way will he justify what he is doing to those who are close to him.
Asher's family mounts increasing pressure on him to move to Vienna. He relents. Jacob tells him that he needs to learn to think and act for himself. Asher gets sick in Vienna and is sent back home. He spends the rest of the summer with his uncle and then with Kahn in Provincetown.
The registrar of Asher's High School and the Rebbe's assistant both tell Asher he will study Russian in college. He refuses. The Rebbe speaks with him personally and tells him it might one day help him to travel to Russia to see art. He assents.
Asher visit's Anna's gallery with Kahn. She tells him that he will have a show in the spring. Yudel Krinsky, his Uncle, and his Mother are happy and proud. Kahn insists that Asher show his paintings of nudes. The show is a moderate success. The Rebbe's assistant comes, but leaves after seeing what is there.
Asher's parents decide not to return that summer and he spends the summer in Provincetown. His next show is the following spring. The following summer, Rivkeh and Aryeh return to Brooklyn.
The Rebbe's power rears its head again at the beginning of this chapter. He decides that Asher should learn French and that is the end of it. The registrar enforces this decision at the High School and Asher accepts it. Interestingly, the Rebbe informs Asher of his decision, not by telling him, but by letting the Registrar tell him when he inquires as to why he is scheduled to take French. This is the way the Rebbe operates. When he decided that Asher should learn with Jacob Kahn, a similar event transpired. Rather than directly informing Asher of his decision, the Rebbe invited Kahn to his office the same night Asher came to speak with him and had Kahn approach Asher after his meeting with the Rebbe. In orchestrating these ways of delivering his decisions, the Rebbe creates an aura of inaccessibility about him. The aura also helps him seem as a more powerful leader, as he is able to control a veritable army of men to deliver his messages.
When Asher goes to Vienna, he becomes ill. In describing the scene, Potok does not simply rely on saying that Asher is ill, though. He uses language very carefully in writing this section in order to convey Asher's illness.
Metaphor plays a large role in the writing of this section. Asher says not that he gets on a plane to go back to America, but rather, "a man with a beard led me gently into a silver bird and sat with me through the clouds." The use of metaphor, such as the silver bird, for an airplane, helps preserve the dream- like quality of the scene. We can imagine a very sick Asher, half awake and half asleep, perceiving an airplane as a large bird.
The placement of detail further conveys the dreaminess of the scene. When it comes to events in the outside world, Asher provides only the barest of details. The details of his internal world are sharp and vivid though, for example his detailed memory of Yudel Krinsky telling him that Vienna hates Jews. By giving Asher a greater consciousness of his inner mental life and a reduced awareness of the world around him, Potok conveys the sense that Asher is ill, unable to fully perceive his surroundings.
The end of this chapter finds Asher caught between different ideas of what constitutes success. There is Anna's vision of success-getting rich through shows. Jacob's, slightly different, involves progressing as an artist and being recognized for it. These ideals collide with his community's vision of commitment to Torah and piety. This conflict comes out at two places-first, Asher hesitates over whether to show the nudes in his show; he relents when Jacob tells him they are important to his development, even though he knows the effect they will have on the Ladover in the audience. Second, Anna serves non- kosher food at the opening. The world of art into which Asher is entering insists on its acceptance of his standard of success when it conflicts with the Ladover ideal.

In yesterday’s blog entry, Effects of self-hypnosis on immune functioning: The evidence (which I strongly advise you to read prior to engaging with this process here), I referred to numerous pieces of research and randomised controlled trials whereby self-hypnosis had been used to advance immune functioning. It is interesting to note that active mental imagery techniques outperformed relaxation themed, more passive imagery with regards to enhancing immune functioning.
Therefore, I wanted to offer up a technique that any self-hypnotist can use and apply to advance their immune functioning. It can be used in very general terms of course, though it can also be used at the onset of an illness to advance your response to dealing with it.
This process is going to involve you imagining an increase of lymphocytes in your bloodstream. Lymphocytes are white blood cells which are an important part of the immune system. They distinguish the body’s own cells from foreign ones and defend the body against infection by producing chemicals that destroy foreign material. These are T- and B-Cells, helper cells which multiply, create an army of identical cells that fight infection and also ‘remember’ the invader, helping to enhance your immunity to another attack in the future. You’ll also imagine an increase in NK cells in your blood. NK cells are Natural Killer cells and are an important part of the innate immune system and respond to virally infected cells.
The research did also show that the best results were gained by those who repeated the process daily for several weeks. I’d advise practicing daily for at least 4 weeks, preferably more if you wish to make great gains with your immune system in this way.
Get yourself into a comfortable position, sat upright in an attentive posture with your arms and legs uncrossed, in a place where you’ll be undisturbed for the duration of this session, then proceed onto the first step.
Step One:
Heavy Arm Self-Hypnosis Induction Method
Using Eye Fixation for Self-Hypnosis
The Chiasson Self-Hypnosis Method
Hand to Face Self-Hypnosis Induction
Using Magnetic Hands for Self-Hypnosis
The Coin Drop Self-Hypnosis Induction
Once you have induced hypnosis, move on to step two.
Step Two:
Spend some time tuning into your breathing. Do not alter it or affect it, just observe it and let it happen all by itself. Tell yourself that each breath takes you deeper into hypnosis. If you lose track of your breathing, that’s OK, just return your awareness to your breathing.
Let your breath guide your awareness deeper into your body. Watch your body without interfering with it. Tune into rhythm of body, the beating of the heart, and the pulse. Sense it, watch it and enjoy it. Sense and tune into the blood pumping through your body. Tell yourself that all these thoughts and feelings, all this mindful awareness of your system takes you deeper into hypnosis.
Spend enough time diligently going through this step, then move on to the next step.
Step Three:
Imagine that there is an increase in lymphocytes, NK cells and white blood cells in your bloodstream. Imagine them multiplying and expanding their presence within your system. Do this first of all by telling yourself that this is happening, using your internal dialogue and being assured of it, convince yourself that it is the truth.
Then start to imagine it is happening; you might imagine a sensation building within you, you might imagine it visually occurring, or you might imagine it has a sound that is amplified as the lymphocytes, NK cells and white blood cells in your bloodstream increase in numbers.
Once you have firmly believed that is occurring, move on to the next step.
Step Four:
With the increased levels of lymphocytes, NK cells and white blood cells in your bloodstream, now they take action. Imagine that any foreign material in your body is being eaten up. Imagine germs being eaten up. Imagine any unwanted virus remnants being eaten up.
You can imagine this in numerous ways;
a) Colours: You might imagine foreign materials, germs and anything unwanted is one colour and the helper cells are another colour and as they spread through the body, they change or neutralise the colours as they meet.
b) Imagery such as sharks or warriors in the blood (representing the helper cells) swimming through the body, consuming everything unwanted. Heck, I even imagined having pac man in my bloodstream once! Or use imagery similar to the above picture of the good cells consuming the unwanted cells.
c) You might imagine that all the helper cells have certain sounds resonating throughout the body that neutralise everything that is unwanted.
d) You can also imagine that the helper cells have feelings, sensations, or a vibration of some kind that moves through you neutralising and destroying anything unwanted. It might have an electrical charge, for example, that pulses and dispels everything unwanted.
Take a good period of time to do this thoroughly and diligently. Sweep through the entire body. Once you have done that, move on to the next step.
Step Five:
With that done, spend some time just relaxing now and imagine a sense of well-being spreading through the body. Reassure yourself that you feel healthier, fitter, more vibrant and more immune. Be gentle, assured and convince yourself of the good you have just done. Imagine yourself in a variety of aspects of your life being fit and well, looking good and feeling great.
Once you’ve spent enough time doing that, you can move on to the next step ready to bring the session to an end.
Step Six:
Exit hypnosis. if you follow the protocol from my book, count yourself out from one to five. Otherwise, you can wiggle your fingers and toes, take some deeper breaths and open your eyes, reorient yourself and feel good.
Practice this regularly and you’ll benefit greatly. I’ll be back with more soon.

Dartmouth v Brown...decisions decisions
<p>If you could not tell already, I am having some difficulty deciding where to apply between Brown and Dartmouth. From what I've read from just these posts, they're both great schools. From what I've read and seen, they're both superbly excellent schools. I just want to see if you guys can give me tips and hints on where to go according to the following:</p>
<li>"cool" nerd, party once in a while</li>
<li>biochem...or english</li>
<li>study abroad...how good?</li>
<li>scale of 1 - 10, shy 5, fun loving 7</li>
<li>more into campus than city, as long as neither is boring</li>
<p>I know the decision finally comes down to me, but before mailing in the app fees I'd like to see more personalized comments. Thanks!</p>
<p>p.s. also posted in dartmouth section for fairness ;)</p>
<p>Based on that Dartmouth. But if your not dead set you shouldn't apply early and if you are applying regular you can apply to both.</p>
<p>I dont know why you would think Dartmouth based on that. From my understanding Dartmouth's social scene has a lot to do with practically campus wide parties every weekend, though I am sure there are other things to do, location is certainly WAY worse than Providence and more limiting. Biochem and English are both very strong at Brown (not sure about Dartmouth)... I do know we place well for pre-meds, again not sure about Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Nothing you put there should push you one way or the other.</p>
<p>What do you feel about the open curriculum?</p>
<p>most parties here at brown are dorm parties and with people you know...the frat life is really secondary here. meanwhile, there is a ton of huge parties at dartmouth since there is no city scene there. brown is great for pre-med, as im sure dartmouth is too, and both schools have respected biochem and english programs...and plus, keep in mind that at brown you can do both if you so desired, meanwhile i seriously doubt you could pull a double major with a science at dartmouth. Im planning to do poli sci and biology and i wont have to take any extra classes to do both, and Ill also have some wiggle room to explore outside the 2 majors.</p>
<p>I had the same decision earlier this year but I really didnt think it was close.</p>
<p>Sorry for posting this a second time...its slightly altered</p>
<p>This is so close to home, so I guess I'll write alot. Dartmouth/ Brown was my choice as well and I ended up choosing Dartmouth but not after some serious thinking. The funny thing is that even after serious contemplation, I literally could not decide and choose Dartmouth basically after a coin flip of sorts lol! During college I visited Brown probably 7-8 weekends, however, so I know it really well. The great news is there is no wrong choice: I loved Dartmouth more than anything, but I am totally convinced I would have loved Brown just as much. These are by far my two of most favorite schools (throw in Stanford as the other).</p>
<p>1) Academic scene
I don't know much about Brown except the obvious lack of a core. Dartmouth's distributives are very broad so honestly to me it was a benefit if anything in that it forced me to take a couple classes (like Acting for my art) that I might otherwise not have taken. Dartmouth is awesome in terms of teaching and professor engagement, and the school is absolutely focused on the undergrad. I was an anthro major and I got $10K for my thesis research and TWO incredibly active thesis advisors. I literally had some classes with less than five people at the upper levels. Dartmouth professors take you to dinner, they encourage you, and they are amazing. I think part of the reason Dartmouth grads do so well at grad school admissions is the fact that they know their professors so well. Frankly its amazing. I am sure Brown's academics are great too, but Dartmouth does have a terrific LAC-like feel. People love to discard the D-plan but I thought it was awesome. Sophomore summer is most students favorite term.</p>
<p>Study Abroad?
Most students at Dartmouth go on a study abroad, many go on 2-3. Its not only a thing to do, its a way of life. The language programs are OUTSTANDING, you not only have small classes a preperation, you have drill with its "rassias method" which is an amazingly fun way to really learn a language. Study abroad programs include a professor and about 20 other Dartmouth students (which is different from other schools which have people from al schools). There are special trips every weekend and you get to become incredibly close to your fellow Dartmouth students. Also since Dartmouth is on the quarter system it allows for multiple study abroads.</p>
<p>2) Campus location and closest city/town location
In my opinion Brown's nearby Thayer Street blows Hanover out of the water. East Providence is hip, cool, and there are alot of great restaurants and it really does cater to students. Providence itself isn't that wonderful, but its awesome in the area where Brown is located. Conversely, Hanover is beautiful but I found the town to be more stodgy and its not catered to students. In terms of the city, Brown wins bigtime.</p>
<p>ON the other hand, Dartmouth's location in the mountains is amazing. The outdoor access is awesome, people ski during the winters on the skiway, jump in the river in summers. To be honest only a select group of students are into the hardcore outdoors. Its the casual outdoor stuff like snowball fights during the winter, riding your bike through the beautiful fall leaves, the swimming in the river during summers, BBQs by houses on the river, the awesome stars when you are out at night, etc, etc. During the summer the campus feels like a magical summer camp, during the winters its charming and warm. </p>
<p>3) Social scene
Brown is very active socially. The dorms restrictions are very lax so first-year parties abound. There are house parties, frat parties, bars, and people even venture downtown to clubs. Its a more cliquey scene, however. Different groups tend to stick together more, so its less community oriented. Its safe to say I think that people walk away with great friends, but it feels more like a University than Dartmouth. </p>
<p>Dartmouth is very community oriented. The Greek scene is huge, but its unlike any other greek scene anywhere. The houses are all open for parties to everyone and there's actually a campus list publishing the big parties that weekend. What usually happens is there will be two-three big dance parties a night plus lots of houses will have smaller groups hanging out. The cool thing is there is usally alot of energy as everyone is going to the same key places or are at least aware of the big parties. Its absolutely open and everyone is absolutely friendly. In addition to the greek scene there is a house party scene, smaller gatherings in dorms, plus niche scenes like the organic farm crowd or the Ledyard Canoe club crowd. The nights are full of activity. Dartmouth's downside might be that its jock culture does have power with the frats, places like Chi Heorot, Theta Delt, and Psi U are centered around sports teams and I think this can intimidating. The upside is there is a large social scene outside these places.</p>
<p>I think its safe to say Brown has smaller gatherings for niche groups (although there are big parties!), while Dartmouth has bigger parties that everyone goes to all the time. </p>
<p>4) Campus population
Both are equally diverse, although Dartmouth is conceived as less diverse than Brown the truth is its actually slightly more diverse. But since its smaller the sheer number of members of these groups is smaller so there is less "minority cliqueyness." In this way its amazing, people interact between groups at Dartmouth amazingly well. Yet I think some minority groups find comfort in sticking together and someone who grew up only hanging out with a particular minority crowd might like Brown more. Also, Brown does "feel" more international in terms of student makeup. </p>
<p>In terms of student politics I would say there is a huge overlap of "liberal" students at both. Dartmouth is more accepting of people with a conservative (libertarian) point of view, but overall I'd say 75-80% of Dartmouth is liberal while 85-90% of Brown is liberal. Frankly its not that large a difference. </p>
<p>Overall thought the students at Dartmouth overwhelmingly are the playful, fun loving, brilliant type. People tend to play down themselves which is great and refreshing among the Ivies. My experience with Brown students is that they are very similar but a little more "edgy."</p>
<p>5) Pre-med?
No difference is my honest bet. My Dartmouth pre-med friends did tremendously well (top top med schools). It seems like EVERYONE is going to a great med school like Yale, Penn, Cornell, Harvard, etc. Dartmouth is great because of the numerous opportunities to work one-one with professors, and the nathan smith society (for pre-med) gives great advising. I am sure Brown has a similar advising system. </p>
<p>To be honest the fact that you've narrowed it down to these two means (In my opinion lol!) that you have impeccible taste when it comes to colleges. I've been to and know alums from many many schools and hands down these two seem to provide the best college experience. You just can't go wrong.</p>
<p>Apply to both. If you're not sure right now where you fit, you should definitely avoid ED at any school.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone, I am much enlightened. Currently I am leaning towards Dartmouth a bit, but I'm giving myself till this weekend to completely decide. In case anyone's wondering, my current list of colleges I'm applying to is: University of Colorado - Boulder, University of Washington in St. Louis, Rice, U Penn, Brown, Dartmouth, USC, and University of Denver. Wish me luck and thanks again!</p>
<p>How, as a "cool nerd", you could be considering anything but ED at Brown, I don't know! That is exactly what Brown is!</p>
<p>In all seriousness, though, I think you'd love it here. I don't have the time or energy to go into huge detail on why right now, but my vote is for Brown.</p>
<p>brown is a great place to be pre-med, double concentrate in biochem AND english, be around humble but passionate people, and never get bored</p>
<p>Its such a hard call...part of me thinks Brown another thinks Dartmouth. I wish I could help more...</p>
<p>Once again... if you need to give yourself a deadline to make a decision where you're so clearly conflicted, ED IS NOT FOR YOU! Wait it out, apply to both RD, and if you get in to both, visit both schools and take more time to research and consider which one is best for you.</p>
<p>people think they have better chance to get in if apply early.</p>
<p>you call that a question? jk, go for Brown! the ppl there are lovely. brown has the perfect college environment. it's not too busy, but you can go shopping @ providence if you feel lonely. dartmouth, it is literally @ the middle of nowhere. just my 2cents. didn't have good experience @ dartmouth.</p>
<p>Brown and Dartmouth are so different! </p>
<p>Dartmouth is very heavy into the greek scene and much more rural. </p>
<p>I'd reccomend Brown. You'll find less popular people and more "cool nerds" (my favorite kind of people)!! There's less partying, but it's certainly there if you want, and despite being in the city, it's very campus centric. But you don't get as bubbled or isolated as you would at rural Dartmouth.</p>
<p>On the surface, very similar schools in that they are undergraduate focused, great student body, great teaching. But the atomsphere and pyhsical environments are quite different. I would visit both schools overnight to get a better feel for the two schools.</p>
<p>an article in yesterday's BDH puts brown's study abroad rate just about even with dartmouth's (and higher than the rest of the ivy league)
<a href="http://www.browndailyherald.com/media/storage/paper472/news/2006/09/21/CampusNews/Browns.Study.Abroad.Rate.High.Among.Ivies-2289703.shtml?norewrite200609221857&sourcedomain=www.browndailyherald.com%5B/url%5D">http://www.browndailyherald.com/media/storage/paper472/news/2006/09/21/CampusNews/Browns.Study.Abroad.Rate.High.Among.Ivies-2289703.shtml?norewrite200609221857&sourcedomain=www.browndailyherald.com</a></p>
<p>I'm not sure that there's actually less partying at Brown (hell yeah, playboy #30-something party school back in the 80's, only ivy on the list!), my guess would be that it's just a different kind...</p>
<p>My sister went to Dartmouth, and I've visited many times, but attend Brown.
They are 2 very different animals. Perhaps similar scenes in the students accepted, but the experience once there iy is quite different. Dartmouth/Hanover are all about enjoying the environment, and if you do not enjoy the outdoors, it could be a long 4 years; where Brown is much more urbane. Providence sure as hell isn't the big city but the 2 campuses offer very very different atmospheres.</p>
<p>When it comes down to it, my draw was both have chill, fun, smart students who know how to have a great time and yet still love their classes. Of my Dartmouth friends, I would say a considerable portion chose between Brown or Dartmouth. Many also seemed to choose between Dartmouth and Duke. </p>
<p>To be honest, these days its way too competitive to not apply to both. There is a HUGE alternative scene at Dartmouth (a Brown within Dartmouth). Just as there are jocks at Brown. Once again, they are more similar than they appear.</p>

Patients in Belgium are Euthanized Without Consent, Half of Assisted Suicides Not Reported
International Alex Schadenberg Apr 8, 2014 | 3:38PM Brussels, Belgium
The recent video promoting the legalization of euthanasia and assisted suicide, as shown on Vision TV, tells the story of people who want to die by euthanasia.
When considering these stories it appears that opposing “assisted death” is irrational, but this video was designed to promote the legalization of euthanasia and not to provide full information on all sides of the issue.
To legalize euthanasia requires a change in the law to allow one group of people, most likely doctors, the right, in law, to kill another group of people in society.
picassistedsuicide15When the euthanasia law is abused, it means that someone has died, who didn’t request it, who may have been coerced into it, who was depressed or mentally ill, or one of many scenario’s that occur.
To state that euthanasia, in the few jurisdictions where it is legal, has not been abused is a lie and to suggest that euthanasia would not be abused in Canada is to suggest that we live in a utopia, which we do not.
Legalizing euthanasia or assisted suicide is not safe and the negative outcome is lethal.
A few facts:
A Netherlands study found that 23% of all assisted deaths are not reported. Euthanasia in the Netherlands has been extended to psychiatric conditions. In 2013, euthanasia for psychiatric reasons occurred 45 times.
Some real life stories.
There are many more stories and studies that prove how legalizing euthanasia will have tragic, lethal outcomes.
The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition has found that when people learn more about euthanasia and its consequences, they become more opposed to it.
Society needs to improve how we care for people, rather than approving how to kill people. Note: Alex Schadenberg is the executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition and you can read his blog here.

Introduced in October of 1948, the Morris Oxford MO was not only one of the Nuffield group’s first post World War II releases, it also set a new trend as one of four cars produced by the group (the Morris Six, the Wolseley 4/50 and Wolseley 6/80) that shared the same basic hull/four-door passenger cabin.
The MO stood out as the only one of the four to be fitted with a brand-new side valve 1476cc engine. It also boasted the shortest wheelbase them all.
The UK motor trade of the time wasted little time in illuminating the very strong resemblance between the Oxford MO and the Minor. There were those thais went as far as saying that the Minor looked like an MO that had shrunk in the wash".
Apart from the MO's front grille, which was slightly more elaborate than on the Minor, the Oxford was almost an exact enlarged facsimile of its more compact stable mate.
Contrary to public opinion Alec Issigonis- the brain behind the design of the Morris Minor- was not involved in any way in the development of the Oxford MO, It is a matter of record that the two models had no shared panels or running gear.
Although the slogan was never used in any of Morris’s sales literature, the general feeling on the street was that if you wanted a Minor, but one with more power, luxury and space, the next step up from the small Morris was the Oxford MO.
Once again history would prove that the Minor was a much superior car, with the MO generally failing to capture the public's imagination, meaning a much shorter production life, lasting just six years compared to the Minor's 23.

Donated once to the EFF and the ACLU at different times. The incredible volume of spam mail, junk mail, and phone calls that I received from these two organizations convinced me to never contribute to them again, as well as likely costing them more than my donation.
My advice: Donate to a local organization, not a national or international one. They are less likely to have hordes of administrative flunkies to bother you later (and consume donation money), and you'll be helping the community you live in. There are good causes in every community in America.
Comment: Screen resolution (Score 1) 564 564
Just look at screen resolution - laptops 4-5 years ago reached the peak resolution of what average machines were coming with. Low-end models were usually 1280x800 with many models offering 1440x900 resolution for a modest increase in price.
Now nearly every single laptop made offers only a 1366x768 screen, which is less vertical pixels than people were getting affordably 5 years ago. Those laptops that do offer higher resolution go straight up to 1920x1080, which many people find too small, and at a significant cost increase. And both of these are 16:9 screens, reducing even further the valuable vertical resolution that is additionally consumed by menu bars, system trays, and application launchers.
The simple fact is that there is only a single hardware manufacturer still making laptops with 16:10 screens, and it's Apple. Everyone else is producing small expensive portable televisions with computers attached.
Nobody I know wants to upgrade because it means sacrificing the graphical experience they want.

How Often to Change a Cloth Diaper
how often to change a cloth diaper
The answer to this question may seem simple – just change them when they are dirty or wet! However, there is more to it than that. Since babies of different ages will have different outputs, you will need to have a general idea of when you will need to check the diaper, and how many diapers you need to have on hand for each age. Some babies may not let you know when they are wet or dirty, so checking the diaper periodically may be necessary. If switching from disposables to cloth, there may be a considerable difference in the amount of diaper changes.
As a general rule, diapers should be checked every 1.5-2 hours during the daytime. Older babies may go longer in between changes. You will quickly find out what the elimination routine is for your baby, and will adjust according to their own personal needs. The absorbency … Read More

Discuss the different viewpoints between classical and Keynesian economists, specifically John Maynard Keynes and F.A. Hayek. You can use which has rap videos and other resources to discuss. Why is Keynesian economics always "in style" during a recessionary period? What unintended consequences are prevalent in the Keynesian approach?
Response :
With changing times comes a need to change the way work is done. The same holds tru with the way the economy is analgized. Before the great depression, economics was analgized using a "classical" approach which is basically an economy that is analyzed and regulated in a long term method.

Who is this woman?
Hypatia Raphael Sanzio detail-2.jpgHypatia (born c. AD 350 – 370; died 415) was a Greek Alexandrian Neoplatonist philosopher in Egypt who was one of the earliest mothers of mathematics. As head of the Platonist school at Alexandria, she also taught philosophy and astronomy. She was the inventor of many great ideas to do different things including the astrolabe FIGURE 1.1 and hydrometer FIGURE 1.2. These are just two of her many inventions. She also wrote a book named The astronomical cannon. But it is possible that it really is a newer edition of another book on maths tables by Ptolemy. It is said that she made significant contributions to maths. Mainly in the areas of geometry. Hypatia and her father edited many books of the maths field such as: Euclids elements and Ptolemy's almagest. Hypatia is often talked about writing her favourite fields of study: philosophy, astronomy and mathematics but her works were burned in the devastating fire of the Library of Alexandria.
What did she invent?
Hypatia invented 2 of her most important things. Firstly being the Astrolabe, a hand held device used by astronomers, navigators, and astrologers. how it all started was that Her student Synesius, bishop of Cyrene, wrote a letter describing his construction of an astrolabe. Earlier astrolabes predate that of Synesius by at least a century, and Hypatia's father had gained fame for his treatise on the subject. However, Synesius claimed that his was an improved model. Synesius also sent Hypatia a letter describing a hydrometer, and requesting her to have one constructed for him. Its many uses include locating and predicting the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars, determining local time given local latitude and vice-versa, surveying, triangulation, and to cast horoscopes. It was used in classical antiquity, the Islamic Golden Age, the European Middle Ages and Renaissance for all these purposes. In the Islamic world, it was also used to calculate the Qibla and to find the times for Salat, prayers.
There is often confusion between the astrolabe and the mariner's astrolabe. While the astrolabe could be useful for determining latitude on land, it was an awkward instrument for use on the heaving deck of a ship or in wind. The mariner's astrolabe was developed to solve these problems.
Another invention that she created was the hydrometer which is an instrument used to measure the specific gravity (or relative density) of liquids; that is, the ratio of the density of the liquid to the density of water.
A hydrometer is usually made of glass and consists of a cylindrical stem and a bulb weighted with mercury or lead shot to make it float upright. The liquid to be tested is poured into a tall container, often a graduated cylinder, and the hydrometer is gently lowered into the liquid until it floats freely. The point at which the surface of the liquid touches the stem of the hydrometer is noted. Hydrometers usually contain a scale inside the stem, so that the specific gravity can be read directly. A variety of scales exist, and are used depending on the context.
Hydrometers may be calibrated for different uses, such as a lactometer for measuring the density (creaminess) of milk, a saccharometer for measuring the density of sugar in a liquid, or an alcoholometer for measuring higher levels of alcohol in spirits.

In Sumidero Canyon, It’s More Than Just a Croc!
There is a local legend revolving around Chiapas, Mexico’s, Canyon del Sumidero. Legend states that the local tribes were fanatic about remaining out of bondage. So in order to escape slavery by the Spaniards, they committed mass suicide by diving into the canyon, believing that they would be free in the afterlife if they did so.
Sumidero Canyon, Chiapas, Mexico
In Mexico's Sumidoro Canyon, local Indians thew themselves over the cliffs rather than be enslaved by the Spaniards.
There is some historical fact associated with this legend. When the Spanish first came to Mexico, they conquered the Aztec empire, which was located to the north and west of Chiapas for the most part. Later, when Cortes sent tax collectors to Chiapas, they were met with fierce resistance. Eventually, in a fierce battle between indigenous forces and Spanish conqueror Diego de Mazariegos, many Indian warriors threw themselves into the Canyon del Sumidero, preferring death to slavery.
This canyon is located in extreme southeastern Mexico, in the central state of Chiapas. It was formed by a fault that still runs through the canyon, through which the Grijalva river still runs. The river and canyon are the primary feature of what is now known as Cañón del Sumidero National Park. The Mexican government named the site a National Park in 1980, in order to protect the area around it, as well as the flora and fauna. The canyon is one of Mexico’s most beautiful features, though it is not well known outside the country. It is the central tourist attraction for the state of Chiapas; important enough that it features on the state’s coat of arms.
Crocodile awaits prey in Mexico's Sumidero Canyon
A crocodile blends in with his surroundings as he waits for his unwary dinner in Mexico's Sumidero Canyon.
The park is formed by two features; the Canyon del Sumidero itself, and the plains that the canyon-forming Grijalva river runs through. A series of tremendous earthquakes thrust the plains in some places more than a kilometer above sea level millions of years ago. Some time after, the Grijalva river cut down through the basalt and granite, creating the canyon seen today.
A speed boat tour down the canyon and the Grijalva river leads to many beautiful sights. Lucky boaters might see some of the native American Crocodiles. One particular sight that any visitor would be lucky to see is what happens to the canyon during the rainy season. Nearby streams and trickles of water all lead down into the canyon and the sides of the canyon cascade with beautiful waterfalls.
California Natives enjoy boat trip through Mexico's Sumidero Canyon.

The indigenous group modern Chiapans are descended from is the Maya. It is only a small part of the Maya empire that once was, but thanks to the state’s powerful cultural identity and independence, they have never felt really bound to the rest of Mexico.
The California Native’s tours of Chiapas include a speed boat tour through this beautiful canyon.

Diversity Essay
588 WordsNov 2, 20123 Pages
Diversity is often referred to as the spice of life. There are many benefits of living in a diverse society and community. Living in a neighborhood where everybody shares the same interest would not only be stale and boring, but would also not benefit me socially and educationally. Diversity helps become a well-rounded person. In a diverse community, different individuals bring different ideas, cultures, and social relationships to the table. Therefore, I would choose to live in a diverse neighborhood rather than one where everybody is basically like me. New ideas are presented to people in a diverse community. I would learn about all different types of food, religion, and culture. Diversity in the neighborhood would help me have different points of view so that I am not constrained to one way of thinking. New ideas may also spark my interest in something that I would have never tried. For example, a person in a diverse neighborhood may introduce me to bowling. Although I have an apathetic attitude towards bowling now, it could become a new hobby due to trying new things. Life would be very dull and dreary if everyone was basically the same. None of the benefits and attributes would be presented in a neighborhood with any diversity. New ideas and knowledge lead to a balanced and positive outlook on life and would make me a fulfilled person. Due to diversity in a neighborhood, a shy outcast from New Jersey may learn how to speak a little Spanish from another child or how use “Texas terminology” from a different person. Learning about these different ways of and experiencing different cultures in a diverse neighborhood also leads to knowledge and wisdom. It would be nearly impossible to learn anything if everybody was basically like me. Learning about different morals and values of others who are different than me, my own ethics and principles would improve based

No well-intentioned deed goes unpunished. Firearm trumps club, but he put the bullet in the wrong place.
Man arrested for threatening Mt. Juliet motorist with club
Seigfried allegedly threatened the man with a club, which led to the victim pulling out a handgun and shooting it into the ground. Seigfried was booked into the Wilson County jail and charged with aggravated assault and disorderly conduct. The victim was issued a citation for discharging a firearm within city limits.
If he honestly felt in fear for his life, he should have shot the Son of Beelzebub center mass.

"Let's do the talking about the fine motor skills vs the gross motor skills. When you under the stress, the fine motor skill don't work anymore...."(spoken rapidly in heavy Japanese accent)
If someone gets in a violent confrontation and ends up blasting a hole in the ground instead of the target, I'm not inclined to be excessively critical. There are worse ways to demonstrate your loss of fine motor skill, and a shot placed in the ground between yourself and an opponent equipped for melee isn't completely worthless, as this case would seem to demonstrate (even if you get a ticket).
Of course, such cases emphasize the importance of mental and emotional preparation for the possibility of a violent confrontation necessitating resort to lethal force. But exactly how to accomplish such training is highly dependent on individual circumstances, and not all methods which are readily accessible to everyone really work reliably.
This is why it is critical to never point your gun at anything you aren't willing to put a bullet in. Because when your adrenaline is pumping, you may not get to choose exactly when your finger pulls the trigger (in addition to all the other sorts of things that can happen with a loaded firearm). So you draw, then bring your aim up to the target in a controlled manner, and if your trigger finger decided to respond in a less perfectly controlled manner, oh well.

+10K "Warning shots" are illegal because they're damned dangerous. If the situation is dangerous enough to warrant drawing the weapon in the first place and drawing a bead on the potential assailant doesn't stop them in their tracks, then a shot to CoM is entirely justified. Somebody wasn't properly trained or had forgotten what they were taught. Too bad they only violated an ordinance and so can only catch a (doubtless hefty) fine. Coupla days in the klink might do this moke some good.

If you're gonna shoot, shoot! Don't talk! I agree. The guy was armed with an assault weapon. Center of mass.

All things considered, the armed citizen has to pay a minor fine and does not lose his ability to carry or purchase firearms.
Club wielding citizen is still alive and has a chance to consider the error of his ways.
I suggest this isn't necessarily a bad outcome.
maxstone9999 said...
If a warning shot stops the assailant and you don't have to shoot him then in my mind it was justified. Violent self defense is when absolutely necessary. The line between murder and justified self defense is razor thin although I do also get the argument that the dead don't make the best witnesses or plantiffs.

Warning shots should be hits.
Anonymous said...
Gun grabbers love to latch on to the idea that guns can only be effective if used to harm. I support warning shots in certain circumstances because if a threat can be eliminated absent killing I see it as a good thing.
Newsflash - some people will do anything they can to avoid shootings other human beings.
Ironic it is - people talk about the "danger" of warning shot in the context of calling for actual harm done.
Guess what - offering one last warning, a dire and direct one, like firing a warning shot - is a matter of individual liberty!!
Saying someone "should have" or shouldn't have" is just like saying "it's too dangerous to carry a firearm , you know, like the ANTIS say!
It is not for me to decide how another defends themselves, how another exercises their right to arms as a matter of self defense. Were I on the jury I would vote not guilty for that reason. It amazes me how many gun owners fall into the trap of being ever so willing to usurp the rights of another, criminalizing an action taken in self defense...all while claiming to champion the individual nature of this God given right.
Making this fella into a criminal is something we should be standing against - no differently than if it were a disagreement about open carry versus concealed carry. Remember - criminalizing a warning shot is no different than criminalizing a missed shot. Yeah - it is just "too dangerous" to MISS!! Gotta criminalize missing along with warning shots, right? Same principal!
It's one thing to say what you would do..but another to be in that situation and actually have to choose. Things always appear easier in the abstract than they are in reality. I once fired a warning shot and stay by doing so to this day. I am very happy to defend it today rather than live with killing someone I didn't have to kill to defuse a very tense and ugly set of circumstances. I am fine with it knowing today that a warning shot served to end what amounted to be a crazy set of circumstances of misunderstanding and mistaken identity. Shame on all those who discount the merits of a right thing to do. Fact is, sometimes a warning shot is every bit as appropriate as a double tap to the chest.
One more thing to keep in mind - you know those who say "he shoulda shot to wound instead of to kill"? You know how that is scoffed at? Yeah, this is the same damn thing. An individual has to choose - in the moment. How about just respecting that RIGHT across the board?
Kenneth Moore said...
Don't hesitate. The time will come soon enough.
White Bear said...
I spent over 30 years as a cop. If I had been threatened with a club and the threat was imminent, it's two to the chest and one to the head; no warning shots.
It's ironic that the shooter here would have been in less trouble if he had dropped the guy, but unfortunately that's the law.
If I were the cop here, my preference would have been to give the guy a warning, but with prosecutors generally being politicians, they probably didn't have a choice.
oughtsix said...
It's grammatically more correct as well.
Anonymous said...
Let me take the devil's advocate position, here. It's entirely possible that, under stress, the victim either missed or had a negligent-discharge. The important thing is that it stopped the threat.

Western Brooklyn
71st Street Mystery: Bombed Out Car Rots On Quiet Bensonhurst Block [Updated]
Car exploded on 71st Street.
Car exploded on 71st Street.
[Update below]
A burned out car has been languishing on a quiet residential 71st Street block for over a week, but police say little information is available yet about the car’s owner or the cause for the explosion.
We were able to confirm with the FDNY that fire units responded to a car blaze in front of 2113 71st Street, near 21st Avenue, on August 7 at 5am. The fire was extinguished and fire marshals were notified.
A “derelict vehicle” complaint was filed with 311 by a neighbor on August 8, records show, but as of Monday, August 15, the decimated red car is still parked in front of the home and the investigation is still ongoing, according to police and fire officials.
The abandoned vehicle reeks of smoke, the doors have been flung open, and the street is still littered with black ash and glass.
A resident who lives in a neighboring home just shrugged when we asked whose car it was. Authorities say there were no injuries.

Know anything about how this car caught fire? Did it spontaneously combust? Send tips and conspiracy theories to editor@bensonhurstbean.com.
Update [August 18, 10am]: We have been informed that our article caught the attention of the Mayor’s Office of Community Affairs on Twitter, which looked into the 311 complaints and contacted the NYPD and DSNY to have the car removed.
According to a spokesperson for the mayor’s office, both agencies responded immediately. Since there were plates on the vehicle, the NYPD had to investigate. Once the plates were removed, the Sanitation Department took over, and as of Wednesday, August 17, the vehicle was gone.

1. Hey, as long as they keep moving it for alternate side parking there’s not much the city can do.
2. Insurance Fraud. If there was spontaneous combustion there would be more damage from the electric areas near the trunk or hood. This fire started in the cabin, most likely some fire and bounty paper towels would do the trick. Wouldn’t be the first time I’ve seen one of these
3. I thought the same, but if it was insurance fraud, wouldn’t they be able to ID the owner? I could see removing the plates, and reporting it as stolen, but the VIN would be there someplace. The police shouldn’t be having trouble finding the owner if the owner was trying to get money out of an insurance company.
4. 100% they will know who the owner is by looking up VIN (if its registered), prob at a body shop waiting to get the answer. These things aren’t taken care of overnight. Also, keep in mind, things like plates are usually removed to make it look like a legit job, because you can easily take off another car’s plates and joyride on those to avoid suspicion for a short term.
5. It’s a bit confusing. The article says the fire took place on 8/7, but the car is still on the street as of 8/15, so it’s not at the body shop. It also says “police say little information is available yet about the car’s owner”, so, unless the police are being circumspect, it seems a long time to have failed to trace an owner who may be committing insurance fraud. Can’t commit fraud if you aren’t reachable to collect. It’s a strange situation all around.
6. If not insurance fraud, then one of 3 things:
1. Stolen and joyridden
2. Revenge
3. Complete accident (I would believe this in a less shadier neighborhood than Bensonhurst is)
7. 1 or 2 works for me.
Bensonhurst? Shady? Not until all those new saplings they planted have a few more years of growth on them. 🙂

EndSARS Protest: DJ Switch Recounts How She Escaped to Canada
It became obvious as at Yesterday, that DJ Switch had been granted asylum in Canada when she had to flee for her life, being the #EndSARS protester who streamed live videos of the shooting that took place at Lekki Toll gate in Lagos State.
DJ Switch said she sought asylum after several attempts were made on her life in the wake of the killing of peaceful #EndSARS protesters at Lekki.
The sensational disc jockey revealed this while speaking with the Sub-committee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development of the Canadian parliament that, soldiers had shot at peaceful #ENDSARS protesters at Lekki Toll Gate, in Lagos, and one of the soldiers had informed her they were sent to the protest ground on orders from above.
Switch recounted the incident that led to the death of about a dozen protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate.
She noted that the military opened fire on the protesters after creating a three-formation line as she debunked claims by the Nigerian Army that soldiers fired blank bullets into the air.
She added that the first gunshot was heard from behind, and the situation became chaotic as people were running in different directions to avoid being hit by a bullet until it was announced that protesters should lie on the floor.

Tariffs are taxes imposed on imported goods; they will increase the price of the good in the domestic market. Domestic producers benefit because they receive higher prices. The government benefits by collecting tax revenues. In the graph below, S0 and D0 represent the original supply and demand curves which intersect at (P0, Q0). St shows what the supply curve is with the introduction of the tariff. The market then clears at (Pt, Qt). Less of the good is produced, and consumers pay higher prices.
Figure 5.5: Effect of a Tariff on a Supply Curve
Quotas are numerical limits imposed on imported goods. Consumers are harmed by quotas, while domestic and foreign producers benefit by receiving higher prices. In the graph below, the market initially clears at P0, Q0. The supply curve Sd+i0 represents the quantity supplied by both domestic and foreign producers before the imposition of the quota. D0 is the domestic demand curve. After the quota, the supply curve looks like Sd+i1. Both foreign and domestic producers receive higher prices while consumers lose out.
Figure 5.6: Effect of Quotas on the Supply Curve
Voluntary Export Restraints (VERs)
These restraints limit the quantity of goods that can be exported from the country to one or more of its trading partners. They are usually "voluntarily" negotiated so that quotas or tariffs are not imposed.
Exchange Rate Controls
Exchange rate controls set the exchange rate of a nation's currency above the market rate. This makes the nation's exports artificially expensive, which reduces the quantities of the nation's goods that foreigners are willing to buy. This means that the country's citizens have little foreign currency available to buy imported goods. With exchange rate controls, black markets usually exist where currency exchange occurs at a market rate. Exchange rate controls are declining in popularity, although some developing nations still use them.
"Hidden" Methods
Hidden methods of limiting imports include special regulations and licensing requirements that restrict imports. For instance, the Japanese government imposes special quality requirements on food to restrict food imports and protect Japanese farmers.

The Old Rectory
Hopton Wafers Cleobury Mortimer
Contractor: Wyckham-Blackwell Ltd.
Construction of a replacement roof to a private swimming pool. The original structure was an oak trussed roof, which had become overstressed and was in danger of collapse, previous repair attempts were unsuccessful so the entire roof was replaced with a bespoke glue laminated timber truss with stainless steel dowels, provided a striking contemporary look in a traditional setting.

Gundlach's Year End Bond Forecast, Revised
Tyler Durden's picture
It would appear that the new normal's Bond gurus are struggling with the weight of the 'Taper'-ing, deleveraging, 'special-repo'-ing, government-repress-ing, EM-crisis-ing world of extreme fast money flows that the Fed has thrust upon us. Just 3 short months ago, Jeff Gundlach said that he "expects the absolute highest for the 10-year yield this year is 2.4%, but he expects it to stay closer to 2%." However, as the 10Y yield presses up towards 3.0%, he told CNBC (in this brief but insightful clip on world flows and how he sees markets playing out) that "the 10Y Yield may go up to as highs as 3.1% by year-end," because "investors have switched from "I don't care about volatility, I want income" to "I don't care about income, I dont want volatility." He sees no sign of that changing... Here is Gundlach today... (forward to 5:05) and some pertinent quotes... "When the 10Y broke above 2.35% we turned negative, thinking they would go higher (to 2.75%), capturing around 70% of the bearish move up..." "Looking for signals that the rate rise is over... and frankly we don't see those signals now."
"Investors have switched from "I don't care about volatility, I want income" to "I don't care about income, I dont want volatility."" "The first thing I look at every morning is the Emerging Market currencies... for evidence that the 'fear and loathing' is changing." "If 10Y Hits 3.50% risk assets will come under serious pressure." Here is Gundlach in June... (forward to 2:10) and some pertinent quotes from that transcript (which are actually just as prescient now)... Why The Fed has to Taper... I think that the fed is going to reduce their bond purchases later this year because, as you know, my theory has been that what’s really going on is the fed is financing the budget deficit, and the budget deficit is smaller than it was a year ago, and, therefore, the need for financing is less, and so bond purchases should be less. so they’ll probably be some language about a wind down, reduction of bond purchases later this year. and i think the market expects that to happen. What makes you nervous? what’s making me nervous about kind of the world today is this idea that the fed is omniscient and can do things perfectly... when economic data is strong, we’re going to reduce bond purchases, and we’re going to make the world a perfect place of stability and comfort, and i just don’t think that’s the waythe world works. it bothers me a lot that we have central planning in the true bubble of what’s in the world today of bubbles is central planning and central banking, and what we have is this idea that we can get away from these extraordinary and experimental policies

Replacement of broken water-main.
Daniel and Andrew of Pristine Plumbing were so kind, efficient, and reliable when they recently replaced my broken water-main. I was heading out the front door when I noticed water leaking up between the concrete slabs of my walk-way. Daniel had replaced my hot-water tank a year ago, and I was happy with his work. So, I called Pristine Plumbing to see if they could help me out. Daniel called me back right away and came to assess the situation. After consulting with me and providing a reasonable quote, he quickly coordinated his team, even though it was a long-weekend. Andrew arrived exactly on time the very next day and started digging right away. They both worked extremely hard all day long, conquering a problem with my extra-thick foundation. Everything was fixed within a day; I was so relieved that the situation was rectified so quickly. In the near future, I will need to have my drain-pipes cleared. Of course, I will be calling Pristine Plumbing to do this work. I cannot recommend them enough. Pristine Plumbing will be my "go to" plumber from now on! Thank-you, Daniel and Andrew!

Ask Us > Obesity and max dosing
I'm putting together a lipid rescue kit with instructions for our ORs and ED. We have a large percentage of morbidly obese patients. I've read your previous replies regarding 10-12 mL/kg ideal body mass or lean body weight. Which calculation do you propose to use? As pharmacists, we typically use an adjusted body weight for drugs with large volume of distribution and an ideal body weight (2.3 x in >5 ft + 45.5 for females or 50 for males) for drugs that mostly stay in the bloodstream. Since lipid is fat soluble (obviously), I would think more of an adjusted body weight would be appropriate.
Keeping in mind that I have patients in the 150-200 kg range, the bolus dose of 1.5 mL/kg could exceed 250 mL (which incidentally cannot be given over 1 minute as the protocol recommends). Should we cap the dose at all? What is the largest patient this was used on that was effective and what dose was used?
Thank you!
February 19, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterKatie Hiles, Pharm.D.
Hi Katie,
this is an important topic. In short, I'm not certain of the best correction to use, and I don't think it matters much as long as 1) a sufficient dose is given by bolus to establish a sizeable lipid bulk phase in the plasma and 2) you don't massively overload the patient with lipid. I prefer to for most adults of a normal or supranormal size to use a 100mL bolus, assuming an ideal body mass of 70kg. I would correct this for adult patients who are very small (eg a dwarf) or NBA/NFL-size based on roughly their '%' normal size; for instance, a 35kg dwarf would get half the dose, a 140kg muscle man might get almost 200mL initially . I realized this seems to violate the pharmacists preference for precision, but these doses are not precise or exact. Use common sense and don't give a morbidly obese patient a dose based on their weight. Yes, there is also an upper limit. I would cap the dose at ~10-12 mL/(lean or ideal mass in kg) over the first 30 min. Good luck!

Time to Start blogging again. The Hunt chapter one:
I gotta write more often, i've forgotten a lot of details about the first day, 2nd day lol. I know we got there Thursday night, and we slept after unpacking enough clothes for 3 families, I come prepared hehe. The next day, Dad and I would go down to the quarry on our land and I'd make sure Grandpa Bob's old .220 swift was still shooting good, and i've NEVER hunted with a rifle, strange eh? Well it went fine, and gotta say buying ammo isn't cheap anymore , wow 35 bucks for one box? Ridiculous.
Honestly I just wanted Thursday and Friday to zip by, I could NOT wait to get hunting!!! Shoot something or not, I didn't care, couldn't wait to get back out in the woods. And Jeanne who was going to have to go with me, because I didn't know how I'd handle my anxiety being alone, yeah it sucks to have to rely on someone constantly yet for NEW things, but it's getting easier without help. and she WAS THRILLED to have to get up bright and early and go sit out in the cold for however long it took, so thrilled indeed!!
The alarm was set, 5:00 am, tad early, but excited, and I set it far enough out of reach so neither of us quick whap that snooze button, I'm good at it, very good, but NO where near the professional Jeanne is at whapping that sucker until it's dead and never stop snoring, that thing used to go off and off, the alarm that is, and she'd run out and answer the phone, or vice versa, quite comical if you ask me, which no one did, so i'd have to bring it up, and end up with a bruise on my shoulder, not sure how that works out.
So I ramble on. Alarm clock DID go off, and we DID have to get up to shut it off, meaning we were up for the long haul, and the long process of layering on the hunting clothes has begun, been so long, just getting dressed for hunting and early morning sleepies took me a good half hour. But we were on our way, umm downstairs to eat breakfast that is lol, we're up but we're not happy about it.
All right! Breakfast done, and we're off!! a 3 minute drive down the pasture, and a 5 minute walk and we're on stand and ready for season to open!!! Hehe nice to have your own private land to use. Now the training of Jeanne begans, because i've never seen anyone that will just NOT sit still in stand, I swear she was sitting on a pile of fire ants the entire time, not to mention on the way in she decided she'd take lead and meet me at the stand since I was getting my gun, backpack and a few other things, well she got lost LOL, drove half of one brush line where I hoped deer were bedded down already and would come out to see us in about 40 minutes, so I'm flashing my light at the direction I saw her go, and about 10 minutes later she come plodding through the brush to me, and gave me the number 1 sign, well geez ain't my fault, guess I was grumpy about it, but coulnd't stop laughing either, i'm so sweet.
Well, got light, it's hunting time,and well, we sat for quite a while, and of course not a damn thing, except some douche bag that came and sat just acrossed the fence line to our west from us, someone elses land, but what a prick, wasn't even 80 yards away, friendly fire wasn't allowed I read in the deer hunting guides, was it a friendly? lol.
A good couple hours passed, saw a guy, I assume my cousin Kurt come walking down a fence line about 400 yards away, he looked around a bit and walked back to the east, and a small buck ran behind him about 60 yards, not even sure he saw it, got to within about 200 yards of me, but nah, too small, year and half buck, little 6 pointer. Nothing for about another hour, then a big doe came out in the field about 80 yards away, now that was tempting, and probably should of downed it, but was in a good spot, didn't want to spook anything "nice" away. Well, shoulda shot, didn't see anything else, so we went to the car for lunch maybe 10:30 ? or so, met up with Dad and step brother Josh, distributed my munchies, Josh had missed a doe, never saw the buck that ran down to him that I saw, and Dad blanked not a thing.
So, we went to the house for awhile, got a bit more to eat, then went down by the lumber mill awhile, wasn't long and cousing Matt called on the radio a "big" buck was headed our way from up by the house, well sure enough a buck and 2 does come running down toward me about 225 yards, well wasn't big, another year and a half buck, looked like a small 8. Sorry Matt, he wasn't too big hehe. We sat for a bit longer, then went to the house and got ready to go see Grandma.
Heck you know what? I think we went to see her on Friday!! LOL, ah well, she looked good, but felt like crap, and yep, was Friday, she came home at lunch time or so on Saturday. But anywho. yeah Friday, trip went great, about 15 minute drive is all, but it's new for me, and the hospital all that stuff can get me jumpy. But had no problems, probably just excited to see Grandma Eva, my dear beloved grandma. Also went to Matt's house for first time, very nice, little small for them, but very nice home, proud of him, has a nice family and a good place to call home.
Ok, The rest of Saturday wasn't overly eventul, except I was to go stand in an actual above ground deer stand for the evening hunt, about 3 o'clock we headed in, well let me tell you, the next hour and half SUCKED. Why? well I haven't sat in a stand in a long TIME, not fond of heights to begin with, but I got up into the stand no problem, soon as I sat down? My whole world spun out of control, huge panic attack, major one, bad bad bad, almost dropped the gun, almost went head first 17 feet down, was all i could do was jam my foot on the ladder and grab anything with my free hand. I seriously thought I was going to die, my head was spinning so bad, vertigo, and whatever else, like you drank a bottle of booze and went to bed with bed spins only worse, my vision was so blurred and twisted I couldn't see.
Took me 20 minutes to climb down the stand it was so bad, another 10 to calm down. and another 3 to climb back up to see if I could defeat this monster. I failed. got up to the top rung 15 feet up, and couldn't go any further, so I sat there for the next hour or so on the edge of hyperventalation, clinging on to the top of the stand. Occasionally settled enough to look around for deer, Dad was sitting about 120 yards to my south on the hillside, said there was a few does out in the field, that if I was sitting in the stand I probably could see, but i'm facing the tree wishing I wasn't anywhere near it, if someone would of been with me, maybe I'd be ok? But, since early morning hunt, and as the day passed, I didn't feel like I needed help already, amazing really. I even drove us around the "block" which is about 5 miles or so looking for deer with no problem. The farm I tell you has magic waters.
It just can't defeat the deer stand apparently.
Ok, will continue tomorrow or next day. I swear!!
Merry Christmas! i'm BACK!!

Reason: Needs a manga section.
Regice, Registeel and Regirock
Legendary golems is the collective term used to refer to the trio of Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. They are also known as the Regi trio or just the Regis, due to the beginnings of their names.
Unlike previous trios, the golems share very similar names, and their types are further estranged from the original Fire, Ice, and Electric that the birds take on (two of the beasts share types with the birds, while only one of the golems does). Like them, however, these three have a master (and like the beasts, a creator) in Regigigas.
Originally, their types could have been a reference to the three major ages in history, the Stone Age, Ice Age, and the Iron Age, respectively. Their master, Regigigas, could also be a reference to the Mesozoic Era, as it is famed by legend to have towed the continents in the Pokémon world.
Also shared among the members of this trio is a weakness to Fighting-type moves. Each has seven dots for eyes, arranged in a different pattern, similar to the braille that is connected to their legend. Unlike the birds and beasts, the golems do not have Pressure as their Ability, though they do share the Ability Clear Body. They are the slowest of all legendary Pokémon.
In the anime and outside Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, they appeared as somewhat less important than the previous two trios, even being trained, in Poké Balls, no less, by Brandon, while the birds are said to cause a cataclysm if even one is captured (as happened in the second movie) and the beasts are unable to be captured by conventional means.
One of the many reasons why this trio is seen as "easily attainable" is because of the legends surrounding them. Long ago, Regigigas is said to have pulled the continents into place, and then created the three from an icy mountain, rocks, and magma in its image. Regigigas was apparently worshiped at one time, alongside the other three, by ancient people. Due to it being so powerful, Regigigas was sealed away in the basement of the Snowpoint Temple, while the ones it created were spirited to the far-off Hoenn region and locked away in three stone structures, which were then sealed themselves. A message was left in braille to whoever would come to discover the Sealed Chamber, whose only access was via an underwater cavern, in the hopes that one day the Pokémon could be tamed.

In the games
Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald
In the Hoenn Generation III games, Regirock is found in the Desert Ruins on Route 111. To encounter Regirock, the player must walk two steps to the right, two steps down and then use StrengthRS or walk two steps to the left, then two steps down and use Rock SmashE. Regice is found in the Island Cave on Route 105, and to encounter it, the player must wait two minutes in front of the signRS or walk a clockwise lap around the walls of the caveE. Registeel is found in the Ancient Tomb on Route 120, and it is necessary to go to the middle of the room and use FlyRS or FlashE to open its cave.
Pokémon Platinum
The three golems are only obtainable in Pokémon Platinum if the player has a fateful encounter Regigigas in their party and has defeated the Elite Four. Regirock is obtainable in the Rock Peak Ruins on Route 228, Regice is obtainable in the Iceberg Ruins in Mt. Coronet and Registeel is obtainable in the Iron Ruins on Iron Island.
Pokémon Black 2 and White 2
All three legendary golems are obtainable in the Underground Ruins. However, to access the rooms where Registeel and Regice are special keys are required to enter. The two keys which can be obtained after facing Regirock can only be found in one of the games. The Iron Key for Registeel is found in Black 2 and the Iceberg Key for Regice is in White 2. It is still possible to use the Unova Link to upload data for that key into the other game to get Regice in Black 2 or Registeel in White 2 once the key from the other version has been found.
In the anime
Main article: Legendary golems (M08)
The legendary golems made their debut in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, guarding the Tree of Beginning from intruders. They each followed Ash, Brock, May, Max, Kidd, Jessie, and James throughout the tunnel network beneath the Tree of Beginning. Once the intruders had all been consumed by the Tree, the legendary golems retreated.
Main article: Brandon's Regis
The legendary golems made their anime debuts under the ownership of Brandon, each of which battled Ash's Pokémon throughout his journey to collect the Symbols. When Ash had finally defeated Regice, he was awarded the Brave Symbol.

Darwin Still Rules, but Some Biologists Dream of a Paradigm Shift
Modern Science taking their first feeble steps out of the Dark Ages of Disconnected Specialization?
".........Is Darwin due for an upgrade? There are growing calls among some evolutionary biologists for just such a revision. The failure to consider how biodiversity grows reflects an even more troubling flaw in the modern synthesis: it lacks any real sense of history......."
Explore the Potential of the Possible Human and Michael Murphy's Future of the Body. Understand that to trash and ignore thousands upon thousands of years of mastered wisdom on human nature is dangerous to survival. Highly specialized, yet narrow and shallow vision, breed and fertilize skewed and stale views of our expanding window to reality, which in turn create the trouble with foundational physics, perpetuating stagnant energy evolution, fostering global warming and the coming nuclear resource wars

Darwin Still Rules, but Some Biologists Dream of a Paradigm Shift
Is Darwin due for an upgrade? There are growing calls among some evolutionary biologists for just such a revision, although they differ about what form this might take. But those calls could also be exaggerated. There is nothing scientists enjoy more than the prospect of a good paradigm shift.
Paradigm shifts are the stuff of scientific revolutions. They change how we view the world, the sorts of questions that scientists consider worth asking, and even how we do science. The discovery of DNA marked one such shift, the theory of plate tectonics another.
Many scientists suffer from a kind of split personality. We believe that this is the most exciting time to be working while yearning for the excitement of a revolution. What ambitious scientist would not want to be part of a paradigm shift? Not surprisingly, this yearning occasionally manifests itself in proclamations that a revolution is at hand.
To understand the current tumult it helps to understand how our evolutionary framework developed. It was constructed from the 1930s to 1950s by early geneticists, paleontologists and others, who disagreed about the efficacy of natural selection in driving evolutionary change (Darwin’s big idea) and about the nature of the underlying genetic variation upon which natural selection could act. What they came to agree on was called the modern synthesis, and it established an intellectual zeitgeist that continues today, and has been continually adapted, in the best evolutionary fashion, to encompass new discoveries.
That synthesis holds that mutations to DNA create new variants of existing genes within a species. Natural selection, driven by competition for resources, allows the best-adapted individuals to produce the most surviving offspring. So adaptive variants of genes become more common. Although selection is often seen, even by biologists who should know better, as primarily negative, removing poorly adapted individuals, Charles Darwin understood that it was a powerful creative tool.
It is the primary agent in shaping new adaptations. Computer simulations have shown how selection can produce a complex eye from a simple eyespot in just a few hundred thousand years.
Transitions between species documented by the fossil record seemed to be abrupt, perhaps too abrupt to be explained by the modern synthesis. If this were generally true, it could render irrelevant much of natural selection occurring within species, because just as mutations are produced randomly with respect to the needs of a species, with selection shaping these into new adaptations, new species might evolve randomly with species selection shaping them into evolutionary trends. This challenge was greeted with less than fulsome praise by evolutionary biologists studying changes within species. The resulting hubbub has yet to fully die down. But the newer work cuts closer to the core of the modern synthesis, and is potentially more revolutionary, because it addresses the fundamental question of how really new things happen in the history of life. What brought about the origin of animals, or the invasion of land?
The Achilles’ heel of the modern synthesis, as noted by the philosopher Ron Amundson, is that it deals primarily with the transmission of genes from one generation to the next, but not how genes produce bodies. The recent discoveries in the new field of evolutionary developmental biology, or evo-devo, that the gene Pax-6 controls the formation of eyes in mice and humans, Nkx2.5 heart formation, and a suite of other genes the formation of the nervous system, has provided a means to investigate the genetic and developmental mechanisms influencing how the form of organisms has evolved, not just their genes. Perhaps the most exciting area in evolution is in exploring how rewiring the circuitry of genes produces different arthropod appendages, or wingspots on butterflies.
Eric H. Davidson, a colleague of mine at CalTech, has dissected the network of interactions between the genes that build the gut of sea urchins and starfish during development. When he compares these gene networks, there is a core of about five genes whose interactions are essential to forming the gut, and which have been preserved for some 500 million years.
One advantage developmental biologists have over paleontologists is that they can experiment on the development of these animals. Most of the genes in this network can be removed, and the developing embryo finds a way to compensate. But these five core genes, which form what Davidson calls a kernel, cannot be modified: change any one of them and no embryo forms at all. There is no reason to think that there was anything unusual about how this kernel first evolved some 500 million years ago (before sea urchins and starfish split into different groups), but once the kernel formed it locked development onto a certain path. These events, small and large, limit the range of possibilities on which natural selection can act. These questions about mechanism were not even being asked under the modern synthesis.
The failure to consider how biodiversity grows reflects an even more troubling flaw in the modern synthesis: it lacks any real sense of history. This may sound odd, as evolution is about history. A geologist would describe evolutionary theory as uniformitarian: “The present is the key to the past.” This is the principle we use that by understanding how processes operate today we can understand past events. Evolutionary theory assumes that the processes we can study among fruit flies disporting themselves in a laboratory capture the broad sweep of evolutionary change.
But just as the erosive power of a river changes the future options for the course of the river, so evolution itself changes future evolutionary possibilities. This can happen in simple ways, as termites construct their own environment by building termite mounds. These mounds may last for dozens or hundreds of years and provide a sort of ecological inheritance for generations of termites.

Getting Started: Emacs & C++ (w/ cmake) (On the fly syntax highlighting)
I am a recent convert to emacs. My vast majority of development is in Java EE and I have not found an easy way to get the functionality in eclipse into emacs. So I still use eclipse for this.
However, I like to tinker with C++ and I wanted to get some of the CDT functionality into emacs. In truth, I have used very little CDT so my expectations from emacs will be set differently. Considering that emacs has been used for C/C++ development for decades, I am hopeful that it will be more feature-rich than eclipse or any of the other IDE’s like Anjuta, Code::Blocks etc (both I have tried to use).
First things first. In the world of Java, I am a massive fan of maven which makes build management so easy and simple. Having used it now for years, it is easy to forget how much of a learning curve it had to get started.
Autotools are a massive pain to use and has a very steep learning curve. I have used it in the past to set up build environments and it works fine. pkg-config is pretty awesome and in a lot of ways, maven does pale in comparison. i.e. instead of having maven pull in dependencies, you just use your systems package manager like apt-get or yum and it installs the libraries for you.

Gnome Desktop Inaccessible After Screensaver Kicks in [1103]
Yesterday, I mentioned a problem that I’ve been having with GNOME 3 on Ubuntu 11.10.
Essentially what happens is that when I leave my desktop for a while, under specific circumstances, and often, on returning and moving the mouse or using the keyboard, the pointer would come back on screen. However, this only works on one of my two screens.
The unlock dialog does not show up and it seems that there is no way to get back in.
In the past, I would log into the terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1 or any function key through to F5 or so) and
$ kill -9 -1
This would of course kill all processes owned by me and is therefore unpleasant at best and have you losing a bunch of work at worst.
After a brainwave yesterday (as detailed in the aforementioned post), I decided to check the status of the screensaver and killed just those processes. Happily, this gives me my desktop back. However, my gnome-shell had given up which I had to restart
$ gnome-shell --replace
Unfortunately, I did not get the windows into the original workspaces since everything just got dumped into the one workspace but it is better than having to kill everything off.
EDIT: I just realised that the screen saver of course no longer kicks in and I had to restart it
$ gnome-screensaver --no-daemon
First Love
The first phone I ever got was a Motorola Startac 70. This was back in 98 or so, a flip phone and I still remember it ever so clearly!
I’m pretty sure my next phone was an A1000, a pretty awesome phone. This was around the time that Motorola started releasing the razr which I was far from impressed with. I jumped ship to Sony Erricson and I went through a couple of those before heading over to the wonderful world of HTC. I wanted a smart phone to help with work and so on and I got the HTC HD (If I recall) which was a Windows phone.
While this make me uncomfortable, I was still more comfortable with this than a blackberry. I couldn’t get an iPhone for some reason that I cannot remember.
The phone was pretty laggy and I got pretty sick of it pretty quick. I then got myself my first android phone – an HTC Hero… Most people didn’t like the curvy bit at the bottom but I didn’t care. I was happy to be on the cutting edge. It was also a bit slow and laggy. but it was android and I loved it. It started a brand new love affair… Let me tell you more…

Database Systems Compared
• DBase
• Foxpro
• SQLite
• Filemaker Pro
• Microsoft Access
• MySQL
And we have the server based database systems:
• MySQL
• Microsoft SQL Server
• IBM DB2
• PostgreSQL
We have never been shy about voicing our opinions or being controversial. While discussing some PR requirements recently with a potential agency, the question was asked about whether we would be willing to be controversial.
We are not necessarily controversial, just that we hold a view that is usually a little different from the mainstream views. It could be said that we bring the alternative to the mainstream.
But then, so did some world governments, bringing open source software into their work places, successfully or unsuccessfully in the last few years instead of Microsoft.
Someone recently suggested that we were anti-microsoft. I don’t think that is case. Microsoft has its place in a technology infrastructure. It is simply that its position is usually overrated or misplaced. As far as desktops for technically shy users are concerned, there is really no alternative but Microsoft Windows. I can hear the Mac users scream that Macs are also an alternative. Theoretically, yes but the fact is that they are too expensive for someone to dabble with it. This is precisely the reason that Microsoft Windows dominates the desktop market.
We support and use Linux. In fact, the majority of the desktops in the office run Linux (Ubuntu as it happens) but people who have a non-technical role use Windows. They could use Linux but Windows is better suited to their role.
This is not necessarily a cost-saving decision. Sure, we have saved thousands of pounds by sticking to Linux instead of using Windows but that is a co-incidence more than anything. In some ways, it is a testament to the skillset of the people who work at Kraya that they are comfortable with Linux. The mindset of Linux is in alignment with the mindset of a developer.
I used to develop in Windows and I often found myself fighting with Windows, whereas with Linux, it just fits. There are several reasons for this. One being that Linux forces you to understand what you (trying to ) do to a bit more depth instead of pretending its magically taken care of.
I am not, for one moment implying that developers who use or develop on the Windows platform is inferior or not as skilled. Simply that my experience was that the Windows platform made it easier to do things badly and more difficult to do things well.
Microsoft has done wonders in bringing technology to the masses and making it more accessible. However, there is still a massive barrier, even for people specifically in the technology sector to appreciate and use technologies which require a bit more experience or knowledge to use appropriately.
There are a couple of really good examples. PostgreSQL is a powerful outstanding database server that can easily compete with Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. However, very few people know about it and even fewer use it.
MySQL on the other hand is also an open source database server but is much more widely used and accepted.
It surprises me when MySQL is used when PostgreSQL is, from a technical perspective better suited. MySQL is faster than PostgreSQL at the cost of poor transaction managment (at best). For any system where data integrity is even remotely important, PostgreSQL is a better choice. However, since there are better GUI tools for MySQL and since it is easier to get the hang of, it gets chosen.
This give technology and people in that sector a bad name. Every tool or software has its place, and should be used in an environment where its strengths are displayed, not its weaknesses. We have instances where we use multiple database servers within one project. PostgreSQL for all the data integrity sensitive areas and MySQL for the speed sensitive areas. Sometimes you want integrity and speed. In these cases, you have to make a choice based on which is more important or layer the databases to use the strengths of both.
Metaphorically speaking, MySQL is a hammer, and PostgreSQL is a sledgehammer. Would you use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, or a hammer to crack a slab of concrete?
Before someone jumps down my throat, I am not suggesting that PostgreSQL is better than MySQL or vice versa – just that they both have different goals, different strengths and weaknesses. They have spent a lot of effort to converge and strengthen their weaknesses but not matter the amount of convergence, their core goals are still different that they will never truly be able to remove their weaknesses without giving up some of their strengths as well. One tool cannot be both a hammer and a sledgehammer…
On top of Tasktop
My post about tracking time attracted the attention of Tasktop. While this had been mentioned to me before, I was mistakenly under the impression that this was a windows only app.
I was pleased to find out that this was also available for linux. Great… Lets try it out.
First stumbling block is the requirement to register on the website before I can download a trial. I am a firm believer of try before you buy. I should be able to register but it should be entirely my choice.
I am more comfortable with registering before buying or for the use of a free piece of software. However, registering for a trial always irritates me. This was also the case when I wanted to trial InDesign / Illustrator the other day.
After registering, there was the irritating wait for the email to arrive. Now, this is irritating. When I want something, I want it NOW. I hate waiting. Adobe did not make me wait for the confirmation email of registration before downloading the trials. There are two good reasons as to why this irritates me.
1. Email, as reliable as it is generally, can take time. In theory, this can be anywhere from a few seconds to hours. How about if my mail server is currently down. Or even more importantly, what if I have shut down my mail client so that it does not keep distracting me from something that I am trying to do. Opening up my mail client, I now want to find out about the other emails that are in my inbox and whether any of them require an action…
2. I have reluctantly provided details about myself. Confirming my email address before I am allowed to download a trial suggests that Tasktop does not trust me enough to just let me download the trial. The software has started off on the wrong foot. How much of an issue is it really if someone gave the wrong details before downloading a trial. Is it really that important that you are able to keep bugging them via email to buy the product?
I was curious enough to jump through the hoops to download the product. The first thing I noticed is that there is no 64bit for Linux :-(. More steps involved in installing this on my 64bit machine. So instead, I installed it one of my 32bit machines – save time.
Once the download completed, the steps on the website suggested that I needed to configure it (with ./ and then run Tasktop. The configuration step required no input from the user and outputted nothing. I have to ask:
1. Why is the configuration step not integrated into Tasktop and configured to run once? Alternatively,
2. Why does the configuration step, not start Tasktop right after.
3. Even better: Make Tasktop a symlink to, which then relinks that to the Tasktop Binary with the configureTasktop running Tasktop right after. This means that from the users perspective, they are always running the same command, and you save any cost associated with run once checks.
I finally got Tasktop to run and it asks me if I want to install the firefox addon to integrate with Tasktop. I want to see how it integrates, so I do. Of course, this is yet another step.
A restart later, I was ready to try out Tasktop – or was I? We use bugzilla to track tasks and I wanted to integrate that in similar to how I do it in Eclipse. This was also trickier than I expected.
I went into the partner connectors section which did not cover bugzilla, which I assumed meant that it came with Bugzilla integration by default. This is true but how the hell do I get there to configure it. It took me a little while to find the configuration section (there are no menus). Once I was there, I wanted to get back to the original layout which was tricky since the “close configuration” button was nicely hidden away up at the top right.
Once I had this working, I tried out the active/deactive mechanisms and this works just the same as in Eclipse. Except with the Firefox plugin, it adds in the links that you browse as part of your context – GREAT!
Add in a task to blog about it and went through writing half the document, then decided to de-activate it before I started working on something else. All the firefox tabs were closed – again, great…
The problem is that when you re-activate the context, it just clears the tabs in firefox and shows you the links you last had open. The page titles for the pages that I had open were the same for a few, so going through them trial and error to get to the blog post was tricky. More importantly, the cookie was already gone and I had to re-login. This might be a timeout issue with WordPress so wont tag that against Tasktop.
I haven’t tried linking folders / files yet but considering that with the above process taking me more time than I expected due to the sheer number of steps involved, I shall have to leave that to another day. In all honesty, it might never happen.
I do like the time logging feature of Tasktop as it tells me which tasks I spent my time on in different chart formats. This is great. However, I have a problem in that this is on an individual basis. I see nothing on here about how a team leader can link in Tasktop used by the team to calculate total time spent on a project / task. This is a necessary feature for a tool like this in the team environment.
It is possible that all of this is easier in a windows environment. Possibly because it was built on there, but more likely because Windows users are used to taking several steps to achieve something (what is it – 7 clicks to delete a file in Vista?)
Having ranted on for a while, dont get me wrong. I think that Tasktop is a fantastic concept and with a bunch of tweaking can be a very intuitive tool to use. However, at the stage that it is in, it does not do what I need it to do. It is actually more obtrusive than useful (e.g. by removing all my tabs from firefox when switching out of a context and not re-instating them on going back to the context).
Then, it is probably just because I simply expect too much… 😦
Eclipse TPTP on Ubuntu (64bit)
All I had to do was install libstdc++5:
sudo aptitude install libstdc++5
and it worked… 😀
Breaking Software Down
Let me visualise a brave new world:
• Mail account management (Perhaps genericised into configuration management)
• Spam Filtering (already available to some extent)
• Contact Management (optionally linked into organisation’s LDAP server)
• Task Management (Standalone Mylyn if you know the product)
• Scheduling (or calendering if you prefer that term)

look up any word, like cleveland steamer:
A downgrade that is called an “upgrade” to create excitement, however it usually leads to disappointment.

Superwoman Reborn?
Supergirl Annual-2009
In a story about the secret origins of Superwoman, the scene is set at a mysterious and dark mountain, home to an ancient, vengeful God who doesn't take kindly to visitors, basically this God wields fire and brimstone in the form of deadly bolts of lightning.
So, can anyone help me out here? Superwoman met her end here several months ago, and in the first couple of pages of this story we witness the death of Steven Morrow, a hapless regular guy who picks the wrong beauty spot, in an attempt to get away from the stresses of his day job. We see him running away, frantically trying to escape, he knows he is being attacked by something he doesn't understand, and in his final moment he utters the word 'stahkklll'.
What?? Is that the mountain God speaking through him, is it comic book speak for AEEEEAARGH!!!, or has he seen the face of the God, and it's name is...'Stahkklll' Now, on the mountain lies Lucy Lane, naked, curled up in a fetal position, as if in a deep sleep. Did she not die, did the Superwoman suit save her, is the mountain God protecting her, is each victim the God claims feeding into her a life force, so that she can once again return?
I liked this story, I'm still liking Supergirl, although I'm not so sure about the Superbooks entering into Miabai's medieval world of magic, where soldiers ride around on the backs of giant flying squid, not sure I want to follow them there.
However, it seems both Marvel and DC are both following each other into the hocus pocus, not everything is as it seems world of magic, mmm... I'm going to withhold my judgment.

News Release
Copper catalyst distinguishing two different carbonyl compounds -- synthesis of 1,2-diols
Peer-Reviewed Publication
Kanazawa University
Figure 1
image: Outline of research view more
Credit: Kanazawa University
1,2-Diols*1) are common scaffolds in many pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and natural products. The most direct method of synthesis would be if two easily obtainable carbonyl*2) compounds as starting materials would be converted into a 1,2-diol by carbon-carbon bond formation between the two compounds by reductive coupling. However, since conventional methods need very harsh conditions for such a reaction, it is difficult to distinguish between the two carbonyls, e.g., A and B, and such a reaction would give three species of 1,2-diols, i.e. AB, AA and BB (Figure 1). This means that a complex procedure to separate three species of 1,2-diols is necessary.
[Outline of research results]
The present research team of Kanazawa University, including two students, was successful in selectively synthesizing one species of 1,2-diol from an aldehyde and a ketone, both of which are carbonyl compounds, as the starting materials (Figure 2). The key to the success was a newly developed copper catalyst that could distinguish between the two different carbonyl compounds, activate each compound in a different manner and connect two different compounds to selectively yield a 1,2-diol. Copper is abundantly available and since its toxicity is not so high it is considered to be friendly to both humans and the environment. It was important to use N-heterocyclic carbene*3) as the ligand*4) to the copper catalyst.
More specifically, the copper catalyst makes the following two processes, 1 and 2, take place sequentially (Figure 3).
1. After addition of silylcopper species to an aldehyde and the subsequent transfer reaction, an active copper species equivalent to a hydroxycarbanion*5) is catalytically generated.
2. The active copper species thus formed is captured by a ketone.
By using a chiral*6) N-heterocyclic carbene as the ligand to the copper catalyst, the team has also succeeded in asymmetric synthesis*7) of chiral 1,2-diols.
[Future prospect]
In this study, the team has developed a new copper catalyst that could distinguish between two different carbonyl compounds and form a carbon-carbon bond to connect them, yielding one species of 1,2-diol. This type of selective synthesis was known to be quite difficult; the present success should open up a way for organic synthesis of 1,2-diol chemicals. It is expected to lead to a rapid synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and natural products of complex structure.
*1) 1,2-Diol
A compound whose two vicinal carbon atoms have hydroxyl groups.
*2) Carbonyl
A functional group with a double bond between a carbon atom and an oxygen atom.
*3) Carbene
A carbene is a twofold coordination chemical species containing a neutral carbon atom with only six valence electrons.
*4) Ligand
A ligand is an organic molecule that binds to a central metal atom.
*5) Carbanion
A carbanion is a chemical species in which carbon bears a negative charge.
*6) Chiral
Chirality is a geometric property of some molecules and ions, and a chiral molecule/ion is non-superimposable on its mirror image, just like our right and left hands. A number of chiral molecules, enantiomers, can be found in the world of chemistry, while their constituting atoms and alignment are the same. Chiral molecules have similar chemical/physical properties while biological functions are sometimes quite different.
*7) Asymmetric synthesis
Asymmetric synthesis is a synthetic chemical reaction that selectively synthesizes one of the chiral molecules, usually a useful one.

Book Review: Devotion
Dani Shapiro, an essayist and novelist, has been on my radar for a while, but sort of on the back burner. I read her blog now and again, and I've caught her essays in The New Yorker and appearances on Oprah, and her words have always stuck with me due to their emphasis on faith and family.
Her second memoir, Devotion, is no different. I picked it up during some airport downtime, and while I found myself skimming through sections, I ended up liking a few excerpts quite a bit. Shapiro is reflective, thoughtful, and honest about the difficulty and grace of being at a later stage of her life, and she has one big question: what does she believe?
She writes about having a sick child, and losing her father, and how those experiences led her to this crucial question of faith. She acknowledges that she's not old by any means, but at the same time, she spends more time looking back than forward. Shapiro also explores themes of yoga, body connection, breath and meditation, and I certainly appreciated her insights.
Sometimes it feels as if I’m building a bridge. This act of bridge-building requires stamina, balance, and more strength than I think I possess. What’s more, I have to walk fairly far out onto the bridge as I’m building it.
At this point, I’m way out there — too far to make it back to land if the bridge starts to splinter. Sometimes it sways. Once in a while, I hear it creaking. Below me, a precipitous drop: a rock-filled ravine. Best not to look down. Best to put one foot in front of the other.
Krama akrama, the Sanskrit teaching goes: step by step and all at once.
The text is divided into short sections, so it's really easy to read a little bit here and there. Some critics have stated that Devotion is too navel-gazing, to which I say, uh, it's memoir--but I do get it. It sort of reads like a journal or a diary rather than a collection of short chapters or essays. Shapiro rambles, but she always loops back to her central themes and questions: how do we live a fulfilling life? What does that mean? Why is religious tradition important, and how do we hold onto faith throughout the context of challenges?
Life was unpredictable, yes. A speeding car, a slip on the ice, a ringing phone, and suddenly everything changes forever. To deny that is to deny life — but to be consumed by it is also to deny life . . . to think: it is true, the speeding car, the slip on the ice, the ringing phone. It is true, and yet here I am listening to my boy sing as we walk down the corridor. Here I am giving him a hug. Here we are — together in this, our only moment.
What Shapiro wants to explore is presence and awareness in the face of our days: the small worries and anxieties, the big fears and doubts, the resentment that scrapes away peace, the envy that creates distance, the sadness of the shortness of life.
Three moments within the memoir stayed with me: first, a mention of a concept I had heard before, but forgotten -- samskara. Shapiro describes it as "knots of energy that are locked in the hips, the heart, the jaw, the lungs. Each knot tells a story -- a narrative rich with emotional detail. Release a samskara and you release that story. Release your stories, and suddenly there is more room to breathe, to feel, to experience the world." In teacher training, we certainly talked about this idea, and in class I often hear teachers talk about holding emotions in the body and how we need to release tension that we carry with us. But I think it often doesn't resonate with students, and this description worked a little better for me, so I'm looking forward to using it.
Second, Shapiro discusses ayurveda. Again, a phrase I've read about before. It essentially means that we become what we surround ourselves with, which means we have to be careful about our surroundings -- environment, people, inspiration. Everything matters, because everything has an impact on who we are and who we are trying to be.
Finally, Shapiro offers a mantra she learned from one of her own spiritual guides, and explains the way its meaning has evolved over the years for her. It started out this way:
May I feel protected and safe
May I feel contented and pleased
May my physical body support me with strength
May my life unfold smoothly with ease
And slowly, over the course of Shapiro's life, the phrase became more succinct, just as it did for the woman who originally shared it with her. Instead of the verb "feel," it switches to "be." Considering the physical body may fail and disappoint, just as life in general, the entire stanza shifts to this: "May I be safe, may I be happy, may I be strong, may I live with ease."

Book Review: Me Before You
Lou Clark, the young protagonist in Jojo Moyes' Me Before You, likes her small life. She works at the local cafe, which helps pay her parents' bills. She also lives with her parents, and sometimes her sister and her young nephew, in a crowded, ramshackle house. She avoids new experiences at any cost, preferring instead to enjoy a thick paperback from the library. And she likes her long term boyfriend, Patrick, well enough.
Then Lou gets laid off from her job, and scours the newspaper for temp opportunities, as to avoid letting her parents down. One, written rather vaguely, promises excellent pay to be a companion to a man in a wheelchair. Lou figures, how hard can it be?
— Jojo Moyes
Turns out, extremely hard. She meets the man in question, Will Traynor, and the two immediately dislike one another. Though Will is handsome, rich and smart (naturally), he is also livid and devastated at his condition due an accident, which destroyed his beloved, adventurous lifestyle of days past. Lou can't understand Will's anger and pain, and over time, tries to simply earn her keep and get through the days unscathed, until one afternoon, she overhears a shocking conversation that sheds light on Will and sets their lives in motion in a completely different direction.
— Jojo Moyes
Could. Not. Put. It. Down.
Moyes, a British writer, tells the story of Lou and Will clearly and with emotion, and while Me Before You certainly involves themes of love and commitment and respect, it primarily asks morally charged questions such as: what does it mean to live a good life? Who gets to decide what a "good life" looks like? How do we as a society look out for individuals with disabilities? What makes an experience worthwhile? How important is love? How often should we tell the truth in our families? How does morality work against autonomy, or vice versa? And so on.
Me Before You doesn't end the way you think, or hope, it will -- yet it's refreshingly honest and heavy and hopeful all at once, and well worth the read.

Political Hay
The World Harm Organization
The U.N.'s World Health Organization is displaying all the symptoms of its politically corrupt sponsor.
By 2.23.05
It's a preposterous claim. European analysts Jaap Hanekamp and Julian Morris observe: "few of these deaths were actually caused by problems generally associated with 'the environment.' Out of 100,000 total deaths, 75,000 were caused by accidents -- e.g. drowning, fires, falls and other hazards of childhood. Of the remaining 25,000 deaths, nearly all of them in poor countries such as Turkey and Russia, most were caused by a combination of dirty water, poor sanitation, malaria and indoor air pollution."
But the facts didn't stop the WHO. It was particularly upset about the presumed threat of global warming, which, it claimed, would result in "more widespread and severe" deaths due to diarrhea, floods, malaria, and nutritional problems. Yet, Hanekamp and Morris archly observe, "No scientific evidence was offered to support these claims -- perhaps because none exists."
For instance, the pesticide DDT is one of the most effective mechanisms to kill mosquitoes, which spread malaria. Cheaper energy lowers the cost of producing food. Important medical devices are made from plastics. Under the guise of promoting the "precautionary principle," the WHO is ignoring problems that today kill millions while fretting over worst-case scenarios for the future that are unlikely ever to occur. Simply providing clean water and improving sanitation would do more to help Third World peoples than do most of the WHO's highly publicized initiatives.
Moreover, complain Robert Bate and Richard Tren, respectively a British and a South African health care analyst, "Roll Back Malaria partners are unwilling to fund interventions that work but upset environmentalists, such as indoor insecticide spraying." Although widespread outdoor use of DDT years ago did have adverse environmental consequences, poor nations throughout Africa and South Asia are literally begging for assistance in undertaking carefully targeted indoor spraying.
IT'S HARD TO KNOW IF anyone died because the WHO chose to kowtow to Beijing rather than cooperate with Taipei's advanced health care system. So far the WHO's "Children Action Plan" hasn't had any ill effect since it has not been implemented. Failing to fund effective anti-malaria measures does kill. Equally important, organization missteps involving the treatment of AIDS has harmed untold numbers of poor people in poor countries.
The HIV/AIDS epidemic has swept Africa, infecting tens of millions of people. The numbers overwhelm, leading to a sense of helplessness. There's only one reason far more people haven't died: the incredible pharmaceutical advances over the last two decades. But the WHO actually has impeded distribution of effective medications.
Treating AIDS is one of the organization's primary responsibilities. Its "3 by 5" initiative is supposed to treat three million people by 2005. Yet last year the WHO was forced to remove several foreign copies of patented AIDS drugs by the Indian firms Cipla and Ranbaxy from its list of pre-qualified medicines.
As millions have suffered and died of HIV/AIDS political activists worldwide have attacked the drugmakers. Yet without research-driven pharmaceutical companies, we would live in the pre-1987 world, when there were no treatments for AIDS and the diagnosis was a death sentence. Rather than being willing to pay the price for innovative new drugs, the WHO has promoted foreign knock-offs. Ideology above effectiveness, the agency said yet again.
It's an appalling record, one of "Bad decisions, missed deadlines and bogus AIDS drugs," complains Waldemar Ingdahl, Director of Eudoxa, a Swedish think tank: "Africans and the poor should not be treated with bad medicine."
The WHO needs a thorough overhaul. Director-General Lee Jong-wook, chosen less than a year ago, needs to assert control over an organization gone badly astray. Most important, it must choose good health over bad politics.
The world faces enormous health care challenges. It's time the WHO lived up to its promise, promoting health rather than harm.

Solid Investment Advice For Anyone Looking To Invest Their Money
Have you considered becoming part owner of a company? Perhaps the stock market is the place for you. Before you go crazy, however, and pull all your money out of the bank, you need to learn some of the ins-and-outs of stock market investing. This article contains that information.
Maintain realistic expectations for your stock investments portfolio. Everyone is well aware that quick results in the stock market are difficult to come by and that a large number of high risk stock purchases can lead to poor results. Keep that in mind and you will prevent mistakes from being made in your investments.
A long-term plan is wise if you want to make a lot of money from a stock market investment. There is a certain amount of inevitable unpredictability to the stock market, so a reasonable plan with realistic goals will keep you focused. In order to maximize your profits make sure you try and hold on to your stocks as long as you can.
Watch the markets closely before beginning to invest. Prior to making an investment, observing the market for awhile is wise. You should have a good understanding of ups and downs in a given company for around three years. You can get a much better understanding of the market, increasing your chance of having your investments pay off.
Choose a broker that works both full service as well as online in order to have the most flexibility. This way you can delegate half of your stocks to a professional manager and take care of the rest on your own. This strategy will give you the assistance you need to succeed in your investments.
When you first start to invest your money, take into account that profits don’t come right away. Many investors stop investing without realizing that it takes time for some companies to produce favorable results. You must learn how to have patience.
Try not investing a lot in the company where you’re employed. A lot of employees are temped to invest in the company they work for, but this carries a risk. If your company begins to not do well, not only will your income be at risk, but so will your portfolio. If your company gives you a discount for purchasing their stock, it may be worth the risk to have a portion of your portfolio contain your company’s stock.
Cash does not always mean profit. Having a steady stream of income is important to any business, and treating your investments as a business can help you to succeed. Although it’s fun to spend your money or reinvest it, you should make sure you have enough money available in order to pay off your bills. Try to retain a six month emergency savings balance, as a “just in case” precaution.
Now that you have reviewed this information, are you still interested in investing in stocks? If your answer is yes, then it might be time to move toward investing. You will soon be trading stocks with the best of them, and if you keep this article’s advice in mind, your trading will likely be more profitable and less risky.

Tomas Benitez on Quetzal
This year we're asking our musically and culturally inclined friends to write our evening programs. Here's Tomas Benitez on Quetzal.
The Chicano Movement enjoyed a revival in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s due in large part to the resistance to the immigrant bashing Prop. 187 in California and the Zapatista Revolution in Chiapas, Mexico. For a 1970’s Chicano dinosaur like myself, it was an inspiration to see a new generation of young Latino students and activists take to the streets and mobilize to advocate for their community and people.
At the vortex of all the ‘reborn’ self-empowerment and assertion of ethnic identity was a wave of cultural artists and performers. Painters, dancers, poets and writers, comedy troupes and teatristas all convened to reflect the spirit of the times. But it was the bevy of new musical groups who seemed to best define the new wave of creativity, and none more so than Quetzal.
Fresh from their sojourn to Chiapas, they returned to East L.A. with a sound that was forged from folkloric traditional styles and their own genius. The second floor hall at Self Help Graphics & Art was a beat up, very under-lit, acoustic nightmare of a venue, but they took that stage and brought the light with them, filling the room with their infectious music and songs of love and liberation. It was a magical time and place to witness and remember, as they invented a musical thread that wove together several generations of people across nations, cultures and borders.
Like the ancient Mexican god Quezalcoatl, they went away for a period, promising to return one day. And indeed they did, coming back with a fury. As they matured their music got even better, like a fine wine, with their success culminating in earning a Grammy in 2013. Yet even today the still have the vitality, soul and spirit of their roots and culture in each song in their repertoire, having now become the masters, as well as mentors to the numerous other bands who build upon what they started. And in the true artistic spirit to never stop creating the new, their path has led them on a long, wonderful journey, still with the promise that the best is yet to come.
Tomas Benitez is the former Executive Director of Self Help Graphics and nowadays writes and lives in East Los Angeles.

Marco Werman on Chop and Quench
This year we're asking our musically and culturally inclined friends to write our evening programs. Here's Marco Werman on Chop and Quench, Fela and the 69 Los Angeles sessions.
It seems that the Fela cultural moment in the US has been humming ever since Sahr Ngaujah portrayed the Afrobeat innovator in the Broadway music Fela! But to really dig down to the root of what Fela Kuti is all about, you’ve got to go back to the late 1960s, and Fela’s time in Los Angeles. For him, it was a discovery of musical synthesis – his own Nigerian juju music, John Coltrane and James Brown to name just three key influences – as well as politically empowering voices like the Black Panthers. At the crux of that residency in the US came the ’69 Los Angeles sessions, a series of dates at a struggling nightclub called the Citadel de Haiti on Sunset Boulevard. Grand Performances takes you back to those early heady days when Anikulapo Kuti was still the colonial-branded “Ransome Kuti,” but things were already changing radically. Chop ‘N Quench takes the part of Fela’s band Koola Lobitos; and in an extraordinary bit of curation, Sahr Ngaujah reprises his alter-ego of Fela.
Marco Werman is the host of PRI's THE World

Jordan Peimer on Cesària Evora and Quantic
A mixtape created by Quanitc for Magnetica Sodade, Lost and Longing, Perdio e Sodade.
Saudade is one of the most famously untranslatable words. It carries a sense of bittersweet sadness and longing and often refers to people or places that have been lost and will likely never be seen again. The emotion is so pervasive that Brazil even has a holiday devoted to it. In all parts of the Portugese-speaking world, one says, “Tenhos saudades....” or “I have saudade of you” as a way of saying I miss you. In a sense, saudades is a very specific kind of feeling of the blues. It has been speculated that the word developed as an expression of homesickness for people and places during the era of Portugese exploration of the New World.
Eventually one of the places heavily trafficked by the Portugese were the ten islands of Cabo Verde or Cape Verde. About 350 miles west of Senegal, the small nation is neither Cape nor Green. Discovered in the mid-fifteenth Century, the islands became a natural stopping point for slave traders plying the waters of the Atlantic. The islands’ population is largely the descendants of slaves and their captors. An independent nation since 1975, Cabo Verdeans celebrate their creole (or Kriol) heritage seeing themselves not just as a hybrid of Portugal and Africa but also as the meeting ground between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. They too have inherited this feeling of Saudade which in Kriolu, the local patois, is known as Sodade
If there is one kind of music inexorably linked to Cape Verde, it is the morna, a somewhat melancholic but lyrical song that exemplifies the sense of sodade. Of course the greatest voice of the morna and perhaps the most famous Cape Verdean is the incomparable Cesária Évora. Discovered when she was already in her forties, Évora rose to international superstardom making all who heard her long to know more about her culture and the mornas and coladieras (the Cape Verdean style which is faster and more upbeat ) she was singing. Perhaps her most famous song is "Sodade", in which the feeling which pervades most of her music, is used to describe a longing for both a person and a place--for the time they had together.
Two and a half years after her death at age 70, Évora still looms large in Cape Verde; she smiles on posters and T-shirts and her music drifts from bars, restaurants, and residences. This is her place and the people are happy to remember her and her music; they are almost drawn to those memories by forces greater than themselves This is not to say that she was by any means the only great musician the country produced. The reality is music quenches the parched landscape and it is sung out by some incredibly talented voices.
Tonight’s concert marries the legacy of the great “Barefoot Diva” to the incredible talent of musician and producer Quantic (William Holland). Quantic is, hyperbole aside, nothing less than a master of contemporary music, effortlessly blending styles and creating not pastiche but something uniquely his own. Since Cesária is gone and will never be experienced again, I can imagine no one better than Quantic and the extraordinary guest artists to recontextualize the gift which she left us. Tonight, as we remember Cesària, her absence is a presence among us and we know that only Quantic and the musicians can help slake our feelings of Sodade.
Jordan Peimer is the Vice President & Director of Programs at the Skirball Cultural Center hosting a wide range of roots and world music, including the Sunset Concert Series, now entering its 18th summer.

issues from RLR
I've added the following numbered issues to my copy of the I-D:
19) [RLR] Should we replace the display info syntax [xxx] "yyy" with
( display-type xxx "yyy" ) ?
20) [RLR] Should we have only one spelling of each object type? If so,
should it be the long or the short form? Can we make such
spellings short enough that they don't force line continuations
while keeping them descriptive?
21) [RLR] Let's add a section to the I-D showing how each of the
original SDSI constructs is handled in SPKI. [[CME] We could
also add a section for PICS labels, X.509 certs, PGP signed
keys, ....]
22) [CME] Are object types reserved words over the entire
certificate body or are they to be non-conflicting only within
their enclosing object? [In the latter case, the ( Auth: XXX
.... ) object is to be considered to be of type "Auth: XXX".]
That is, when we go into an object, do we acquire a new
dictionary of object types relevant to the interior of that
object or do we use a single global such dictionary? [I believe
we have to use local dictionaries, in order to allow distributed
<auth> definition.]
23) [RLR] Should we allow the Subject to optionally be the hash of
some non-key object? This could be seen as encroaching on the
territory of signed PICS labels.
24) [RLR] Should we define another, non-cert object, ( assert ... ),
to cover signed statements about non-keys?
25) [RLR] Should we make a clear statement that the keys used in
these certs are signature keys? [[CME] I think that's
understood from the fact that the only crypto we use is for
26) [RLR] Should we continue to use different object types for fq-
name, rel-name and grp-name, or use "Ref" as the type and let
the parameters determine which is intended?

Andy in childs play.jpg
This article's content is marked as Mature
A seemingly young man who sat there with a stiffed gaze, blinked and touched his forehead. It seemed like Time did not dare touch him - no one could ever harm him. His body did not grow old, his hands were ever strong, but he had long forgotten the taste of bread. Time, as if taking revenge for an invincibility so egregious, sped up thousandfold against all plants the brazen immortal dared approach. This too was, as it turned out, possible to get used to, so Time generously gave him much knowledge, in which, as it is known, is much grief. Time did not care what he was thinking, be it Procedure 110-Montauk or Protocol 10-Israfil-B - neither knowledge would let him sleep in peace.
~ From "Time"
SCP-073, known by the alias "Cain" is a Euclid-class, cyborg-esque SCP residing within Site-17 of the SCP Foundation.
The SCP is based on Cain from the biblical Book of Genesis, who murdered his brother Abel due to God favoring Abel's sacrifice over Cain's. Cain was heavily cursed for this act.
SCP-073 is a male, cyborg-like entity of seemingly Arabic descent whose arms, legs, spine, and shoulders are replaced entirely with beryllium bronze. Despite being made out metal, his arms and legs feel warm as if they were still real. He has black hair, olive-coloured skin and yellowish teeth. On its forehead is engraved a mysterious symbol of Sumerian origin.
Powers and Abilities
After being cursed by either the All-Mighty through the Gate Guardian, his own father, or Apakht, SCP-073 gained powers in order to make him suffer for his wrongdoing. When SCP-073 is attacked, any damage it sustains recoils back on its attacker whilst leaving SCP-073 unharmed although he can still feel the pain, likely a property obtained from the symbol. As a result, tests to retrieve tissue samples prove fruitless.
Any soil-based life (for example plants) within a 20 meter radius of SCP-073 gradually begins to die. If it stands on grass, it starts to become barren, leaving nothing but empty dirt and rock. Meanwhile if SCP-073 touches materials derived from plants (e.g. paper, wood, etc.), it begins to rot or disintegrate.
During "Incident Zero", an event that nearly led to the destruction of the Universe, SCP-073, alongside SCP-105 teamed up with the Foundation to defeat SCP-076-2. Saving not only countless lives, but also keeping the Universe intact in the process.
SCP-073 was selfless man and nature-lover who enjoyed telling stories and hangout with his brothers. However, in time he developed jealousy towards his brother Hevel who was more loved than Qayin, and combined with the pressure of the Daevite threat caused Qayin to kill Hevel by smashing his head with a rock in a fit of rage. Qayin immediately regret it, and felt horrible for what he had done. After being outcasted by his people and being cursed by the Gate Guardian Qayin soon became depressed and tried to kill himself or at least forget the haunting memories of his brother's death. He eventually returned to his home where he tried to reason and apologise with his brainwashed brother before being attacked by him.
After being contained by SCP Foundation in the modern age, SCP-073 was described as being polite and helpful amongst Site-17 personnel, although his tone of speech sounds opposite, often cold and mechanical. When asked about the symbol on his forehead, SCP-073 will become distress and hesitant, refusing to answer. Besides these, SCP-073 behaves like a normal human-being, living in a cell complete with everyday furnishings and eating and drinking regularly, though it requires a carnivorous diet. Unlike most SCP's, SCP-073 is allowed to freely roam inside Site-17, and as a result, often helps out many Foundation staff.
Other Media
SCP: Sedition
Come now, my young researcher, do you expect me to expose all of the secrets so easily?
~ SCP-343 not revealing the nature of SCP-073 and SCP-076-2.
In this fan-made, non-canon series, SCP-073 does not appear, but is briefly mentioned in a video where a Foundation member interviews SCP-343. When the interviewer asks if SCP-073 and SCP-076-2 are truly the sons of Adam and Eve, SCP-343 refuses to answer.
• It is unknown if SCP-073 has any connection to SCP-343 who identifies himself as God, or SCP-2746 which is presumed to be the Garden of Eden.
• SCP-073 is located within Site-17, a facility within the Foundation that contains several of the more benevolent human and humanoid SCPs, including SCP-105 and SCP-208.
• The nature of this SCP is very ironic, as the original Cain from the Bible was wrathful and murderous, the SCP based on him is timid, cooperative and sometimes even helpful.
• SCP-073 was involved in an experiment which also involved SCP-001 (the Gate Guardian). It is unknown what happened, since all of the Foundation staff were left blinded by the Guardian, while 073 simply fell unconscious and couldn't remember much.
• The metal that comprises SCP-073's arms, legs and spinal cord is seemingly beryllium bronze which is the same metal used for various other metal-based SCPs by groups such as the Church of the Broken God. 073 had helped the Foundation regarding the origin of this metal.
• In an experiment with SCP-729-J, SCP-073 took a cup of water, and proceeded to bless it. SCP-073 then vocalized the phrase: “FUCK OFF, DICKNIPS!” and soaked SCP-729-J in the holy water. SCP-073 remained under a table for the remainder of the test, with its fingers in the form of a cross.
• A frozen replica of SCP-073 exists inside SCP-5830-1-3, one of the caves inside SCP-5830 which some contains replicas of various anomalies from the past, depicting him in grief, with his curse of rotting soil-based materials present, but lacking his metal body parts.
• When the Foundation used SCP-978, a camera that when takes a picture of someone the photo it produces shows the individual's biggest desire, to take a photo of 073, the picture showed him tending to an assorted range of plants on a small farm. In the background, various domesticated animals were wandering around.
• At some point it was proposed that SCP-073 to be used in an termination attempt on SCP-682, but it was denied due to the risk of 682 copying 073's damage reflection power.
• Dr. Clef once tried a experiment involving him giving Cain a can of mushrooms seeing if they would affected by Cain's property. The Foundation didn't let Clef proceed with his experiment, but the mushrooms would probably also be affected by Cain.
• When the Foundation tested SCP-458, a pizza box that produces the preferred pizza of the person who touches it, with 073 it produced a pizza devoid of plant-derived toppings. However, due to his property the pizza deteriorated away. The personnel retried the test and this time they immediately removed the pizza from the box and shoved it into 073's mouth. This was the first time 073 ever ate a product of 458.
