Yacht Financing FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions: Getting A Boat Loan
Yacht LoanHere are some common questions, and some honest answers, on the process and terms of Yacht Financing.
To receive specific answer to any other yachting loan questions, visit the Yacht Loan Application Page. It is not a credit application, and your credit will not be checked without your permission.
Q: Will issues in the residential mortgage industry effect the marine side?
A: While the experts initially hoped the subprime mortgage mess would be contained to a small segment of the housing industry, concerns are now being raised in other segments of the economy about the potential fallout. What is undoubtedly occurring is a general tightening of access to credit.
It may become harder to purchase a house, yacht, or even get a credit card, due to higher standards for minimum credit scores in all areas. However, historically speaking it really has never been easier to get a loan for a boat for less.
Many marine lenders are very aggressively competing for good boat loans, and have positioned their competing rates, as such. The lending process is still relatively simple and easy. Getting a loan for a newer model yacht, in good condition is easier than almost anytime in history.
Q: What is a Credit Score?
A: Every individual has a credit score. This score reflects the level of risk associated with lending to that individual. Scores range from 400-800, with higher being better.
Negatively affecting your score are things such as late payments, judgments or collections, heavy use of credit, high ratio of actual credit to available credit, and inquiries into your credit. Credit score plays a significant role in determining your ability to get a loan of any kind (marine, residential, or even a credit card).
Q: How does a yacht appraiser determine a boat’s value?
A: Most boat appraisals are determined by a licensed yacht surveyor. He computes a boat’s value a few different ways, 1) by analyzing other comparable vessels currently for sale, 2) by analyzing comparable boats that have recently sold, and 3) by integrating these numbers with the “book value”, usually defined by NADA, or BUC.
While there is no clear science, the goal is to give the lending entity an understanding of the value of the boat, to ensure that they are not lending money on an asset that is grossly over-valued.
Q: What is an escrow account?
A: An escrow account is a safe place to keep your deposit. Typically your yacht broker will have a legal escrow account you can safely use. Escrow funds are released per written agreements, and Closing Statements, signed by both parties of a yacht transaction.
Q: How often to boat loan rates change?
A: Yacht loan rates don’t necessarily change every day, but they can. These changes are based on a variety of factors, but mainly will correlate to changes in the bond market due to breaking financial news, world events, stock market movement, and sometimes supply and demand of marine loans.
Q: What is APR?
A: APR stands for annual percentage rate. APR is the effective rate you will pay on your boat loan based on the interest rate and related closing costs. It will almost always be higher than the interest rate on your loan, because it factors in your “cost to obtain the credit”. However, it is important to know that your payment is based on your simple interest rate, not your APR.
Q: What are points?
A: A point is 1% of the boat loan amount, and is a cost associated with closing. If you have a $100,000 boat loan, a point is $1,000.
Q: What comprises my monthly boat loan payment?
A: Your monthly payment for your boat typically includes principle, and interest. It can also include insurance if your bank requires.
Q: What documents do I need for a yacht closing?
A: Banks require a variety of documents, including:
• Income Documentation: Hourly or Salaried Employment – W2′s for the past two years and paycheck stubs covering most recent 30 days. Self-Employed – Typically most recent complete Federal income tax return with W-2. Retired – Original Social Security Award Letter or Pension Award Letter.
• Assets: To verify evidence of sufficient funds for closing, the following will be required: Most recent original statement (all pages) for all checking, savings, or other asset accounts.
• Yacht Contract: Provide copy of fully executed purchase agreement for the boat you want to buy, signed by you and the owner of the boat.
• Other: Yacht Survey, Copy of Driver’s License or Passport.
“…I offer my highest recommendations to Charles…”
I have been asked to describe my business relationship with Charles Blickle. I first met Charles back in the early nineties when he was a broker with Bradford Marine. He was “broker of the day” when I called to inquire about a listing Bradford had in a Yachting magazine. A few weeks later we met, from that point forward, over the years, I have bought, sold and donated 3 boats ranging from 61’ to 53’ with Charles being my broker of record. His personal attention to my needs and wants has never been overlooked, going out of his way to cart me around S… [read more]

How to Successfully Complete Addiction Rehab in South Florida
Last Updated: Feb 24th 2020
Reviewed by Brittany Polansky
If you or a loved one suffers from an addiction to drugs or alcohol, you may have learned that taking the first step toward addiction recovery is often the hardest. It can be difficult to admit that you have problem in the first place. Additionally, it can often be intimidating to even know where to begin navigating the process of seeking addiction treatment.
The type of addiction treatment will vary from person to person. For example, someone who has been addicted to drugs such as opiates, methamphetamines or cocaine for a many years would require a specific treatment plan. Someone who has become addicted to alcohol because of something like situational depression would require a completely different plan or care. The first step in determining what type of treatment is best for you is to understand the basic two types of rehabilitation. There are many variations to outpatient and inpatient rehab treatment. Below is a basic outline of each type of drug rehab treatment.
What is Outpatient Rehab Treatment?
Simply put, outpatient rehab treatment means that you are able to go through the rehabilitation process without checking into a full-time facility. Outpatient treatment can often be done while you live at your own home and continue to work in some capacity. Outpatient treatment can be performed in a variety of ways. First, there is intensive outpatient therapy (IOP). This often consists of daily counseling sessions that typically take anywhere from 1-3 hours. These are typically done in a group setting with people who have similar levels of addiction. Another option is one-on-one counseling with a drug and alcohol specialist. Some people may thrive in a group setting and others may do better working one-on-one with a counselor. You may not have a choice as to which type of outpatient treatment if you were assigned counseling by the court system after violating a law.
What is Inpatient Rehab Treatment?
Inpatient rehabilitation is more intensive than outpatient rehab. Basically, you attend a full-time facility that serves as your home for a certain period of time. The length of a stay in an inpatient facility can vary. Typically, it lasts between 30 days and several months. Inpatient treatment is a good choice for people who have heavy addictions or have relapsed multiple times. Additionally, inpatient facilities offer a full-service detox facility that will provide full-time care. The detox process can be incredibly dangerous if it is not monitored closely by a medical professional. For example, Oxycodone withdrawal symptoms can be extremely dangerous, even deadly, and should always be monitored by a professional. Inpatient treatment will also offer 24-hour access to a team of medical professionals and mental health experts. Many people also benefit from the sense of community that is established in an inpatient facility.
Whether you are considering inpatient or outpatient therapy, the important thing is that you are taking the first step to get on the path to addiction recovery!

The Legend Of The Murderously Haunted Aisle 13!
It was the Witching Hour of Halloween when a serial killer wielding an extra-large meat cleaver entered a 24-7 department store. The deranged individual then eradicated two 3rd shift employees stocking shelves in Aisle 13! Interestingly enough Aisle 13 was for seasonal items. In this case, it was being stocked with the last of the Halloween Costumes and Decor they had left in their warehouse. The crazy killer grabbed a random monster mask and placed it over his face while laughing like a loon. He then proceeded to slice, and dice the man, and woman up while arranging the body parts around a Satanic symbol he painted in the victim’s blood. At the Devil’s Hour, the police arrived to find him drenched in blood while chanting incantations in an unknown ancient language. He ignored them at first but once they neared him he ripped his mask off to reveal a sinister scowl so devoid of humanity that it caused the police to freeze for a few seconds! The murderer then leaped forth screaming,” Don’t interfere with my masters ritual!” He brandished his meat cleaver, and the cops were forced to shoot him in self-defense. He collapsed and died amid the bloody carnage of his innocent slain victims.
The Haunting Of Aisle 13
For two weeks the aisle was closed off with crime scene tape for forensic investigation, and clean-up. Almost immediately after Aisle 13 was opened to the general public weird occurrences began to take place. Things would fall off the shelves, eerie screams bellowed beyond from thin air, noxious odors emanated onward, small fires would start for no reason, and people were constantly being hurt by random accidents. Store management decided to renumber the aisles without admitting to themselves that the area was haunted since that would be insane in their logical eyes. So it became Aisle 14 but this didn’t fool the diabolical darkness that had descended densely down the shelf lined lane. Read The Rest Of This Urban Legend On Our Halloween Blog…

Case of Mysterious Bones Solved
By |
We now know what led to the death of a woman, whose remains were found inside a home in Garrard County.
After weeks of investigation and examination on the remains of a set of bones found in a home on Buford Street in Lancaster, the coroner, Darrell Hodge, is shutting the case down.
He says the woman died giving birth. She likely died within the past 50 years.
Medical examiners also were able to determine that the remains were, at one time, used for scientific study. Because of that fact, there's really no way to tell who she was, or even where she lived before she died.
Investigators also say they'll likely never know who put the bones in the home, because it hasn't always been a home. It's been used as many things, including a church.
The case is now closed unless someone comes forward with information that would allow medical examiners to make a positive identification.
For now, the remains will be given a proper burial in a cemetery in Lancaster. A Lexington woman is donating the money for a plot.

Stamp Collecting
Le Philateliste by François Barraud (1929).
Stamp collecting is the collecting of postage stamps and related objects. It is related to philately which is the study of stamps. It has been one of the world's most popular hobbies since the late nineteenth century with the rapid growth of the postal service.[1] Stamp collecting proved to be an almost perfect hobby for collectors because there was a never ending stream of new stamps as each country sought to advertise its distinctiveness through its stamps.
Stamp collecting is generally accepted as one of the areas that make up the wider subject of philately, which is the study of stamps. A philatelist may, but does not have to, collect stamps. It is not uncommon for the term philatelist to be used to mean a stamp collector. Many casual stamp collectors accumulate stamps for sheer enjoyment and relaxation without worrying about the tiny details. The creation of a large or comprehensive collection, however, generally requires some philatelic knowledge and will usually contain areas of philatelic studies.
Postage stamps are often collected for their historical value and geographical aspects and also for the many subjects depicted on them, ranging from ships, horses, and birds to kings, queens and presidents.[2]
Stamp collectors are an important source of income for some countries who create limited runs of elaborate stamps designed mainly to be bought by stamp collectors. The stamps produced by these countries may exceed their postal needs, but may also feature attractive topical designs that many collectors desire.
Queen Victoria's profile was a staple on 19th century stamps of the British Empire; here on a half-penny of the Falkland Islands, 1891.
It has been suggested that John Bourke, Receiver General of Stamp Dues in Ireland was the first collector. In 1774 he assembled a book of the existing embossed revenue stamps, ranging in value from 6 pounds to half a penny, as well as the hand stamped charge marks that were used with them. His collection is preserved in Dublin.[3]
Postage stamp collecting began at the same time that stamps were first issued, and by 1860 thousands of collectors and stamp dealers were appearing around the world as this new study and hobby spread across Europe, European colonies, the United States and other parts of the world.
The first postage stamp, the Penny Black, was issued by Britain in May 1840 and pictured a young Queen Victoria. It was produced without perforations (imperforate) and consequently had to be cut from the sheet with scissors in order to be used. While unused examples of the Penny Black are quite scarce, used examples are quite common, and may be purchased for $20 to $200, depending upon condition.
People started to collect stamps almost immediately. One of the earliest and most notable was John Edward Gray. In 1862, Gray stated that he "began to collect postage stamps shortly after the system was established and before it had become a rage".[4]
As the hobby and study of stamps began to grow, stamp albums and stamp related literature began to surface, and by the early 1880s publishers like Stanley Gibbons made a business out of this advent.
Children and teenagers were early collectors of stamps in the 1860s and 1870s. Many adults dismissed it as a childish pursuit but later many of those same collectors, as adults, began to systematically study the available postage stamps and publish books about them. Some stamps, such as the triangular issues of the Cape of Good Hope, have become legendary.
Stamp collecting is a less popular hobby in the early 21st century than it was a hundred years ago. In 2013, the Wall Street Journal estimated the global number of stamp collectors was around 60 million.[5] Tens of thousands of stamp dealers supply them with stamps along with stamp albums, catalogues and other publications. There are also thousands of stamp (philatelic) clubs and organizations that provide them with the history and other aspects of stamps. Today, though the number of collectors is somewhat less, stamp collecting is still one of the world's most popular indoor hobbies.[6]
A few basic items of equipment are needed to collect stamps. Stamp tongs help to handle stamps safely, a magnifying glass helps in viewing fine details and an album is a convenient way to store stamps. The stamps need to be attached to the pages of the album in some way and stamp hinges are a cheap and simple way to do this. Hinging stamps can damage them, thus reducing their value; today many collectors prefer more expensive hingeless mounts. Issued in various sizes, these are clear chemically neutral thin plastic holders that open to receive stamps and are gummed on the back so that they stick to album pages. Another alternative is a stockbook where the stamps drop into clear pockets without the need for a mount. Stamps should be stored away from light, heat and moisture or they will be damaged.
Stamps can be displayed according to the collector's wishes, by country, topic, or even by size, which can create a display pleasing to the eye. There are no rules and it is entirely a matter for the individual collector to decide. Albums can be commercially purchased, downloaded or created by the collector. In the latter cases using acid free paper provides better long-term stamp protection.
Acquiring stamps
Many collectors ask their family and friends to save stamps for them from their mail. Although the stamps received by major businesses and those kept by elderly relatives may be of international and historical interest, the stamps received from family members are often of the definitive sort. Definitives seem mundane but, considering their variety of colours, watermarks, paper differences, perforations and printing errors, they can fill many pages in a collection.[7] Introducing either variety or specific focus to a collection can require the purchasing of stamps, either from a dealer or online. Large numbers of relatively recent stamps, often still attached to fragments or envelopes, may be obtained cheaply and easily. Rare and old stamps can also be obtained, but these can be very expensive.
Duplicate stamps are those a collector already has and are not required, therefore, to fill a gap in a collection. Duplicate stamps can be sold or traded, so they are an important medium of exchange among collectors.
Many dealers sell stamps through the Internet while others have neighborhood shops which are among the best resources for beginning and intermediate collectors. Some dealers also jointly set up week-end stamp markets called "bourses" that move around a region from week to week. They also meet collectors at regional exhibitions and stamp shows.
Collecting specialties
A worldwide collection would be enormous, running to thousands of volumes, and would be incredibly expensive to acquire. Many consider that Count Philipp von Ferrary's collection at the beginning of the 20th century was the most complete ever formed. Many collectors limit their collecting to particular countries, certain time periods or particular subjects (called "topicals") like birds or aircraft.
Some of the more popular collecting areas include:
• Postage stamps - particular countries and/or time periods
• Airmail stamps - stamps may be required for airmail, which is typically more expensive and has special postage rates.
• Commemorative stamps - stamps to commemorate events, anniversaries, etc., on sale for a limited time.
• Definitive stamps - the most common type of stamps
• Postage due stamps are special stamps applied by a post office to mail bearing insufficient postage. The stamps were issued in several denominations to make up different amounts due.
• Topical stamp collecting - many collectors choose to organize their philatelic collection on the theme of the stamps, covers, or postmarks. Popular topical themes are animals, dogs, cats, butterflies, birds, flowers, art, sports, Olympics, maps, Disney, scouting, space, ships, Americana (topics relating to the US), stamps on stamps, famous people, chess, Chinese new year, and many others.
• Postal stationery - includes government-issued postal cards, aerograms, letter card, wrappers, envelopes, etc., that have an imprinted stamp.
• Sheets
• Sheetlets - this is a format that is now issued regularly by postal administrations. Instead of issuing stamps in large sheets of 40, 100 or even 200 stamps, smaller sheetlets with 20 to 24 stamps are issued with a large selvedge area which may incorporate part of the stamp design or theme.
• Souvenir sheets - many postal services sometimes release stamps in a format that look like a sheet with a big picture. Various parts of the picture can be torn out and used as postage stamps. See example with 10 stamps in one picture. (Souvenir sheets should be distinguished from souvenir cards, which are souvenirs of a philatelic meeting or exhibition but are not valid for postage.)
• Miniature sheet - is very similar to a souvenir sheet, being in a sheetlet with a single or a number of stamps embedded in it.
• Corner blocks or plate blocks - compose a block of stamps from one of the four corners of the stamp sheet. Collectors usually opt for a block of four stamps, complete with the selvage area which will sometimes have the printing details on it.
• Coil Strips - Pairs or more of stamps from rolls, premium ones showing the plate number or a coil line pair which shows the seam between the edges of the plate.
• Revenue stamps - stamps issued to pay taxes.
• Federal Duck Stamps (stamps for duck hunting licenses, mainly U.S. with some other countries such as Canada and New Zealand)
• First day covers - (FDCs) - envelopes with stamps attached and canceled on the first day that the stamp was issued. Most modern FDCs bear designs, called "cachets", related to the theme of the stamp issued.
• Maximum cards - these are postcards where the stamp is on the same side as the picture and they have a close connection.
• Souvenir pages - with first day canceled stamps on a page describing all design, printing and issuing details. These are similar to first day covers except that they are issued as printed sheets of paper instead of envelopes, and the specification of the stamp is printed by the official source. See picture of first souvenir page in the US.
• Cinderella stamps - stamp-like labels that are not valid for postage.
• Postmarks or postal markings in general.

There are thousands of organizations for collectors: local stamp clubs, special-interest groups, and national organizations. Most nations have a national collectors' organization, such as the American Philatelic Society in the United States. The Internet has greatly expanded the availability of information and made it easier to obtain stamps and other philatelic material. The American Topical Association (ATA) is now a part of the APS and promotes thematic collecting as well as encouraging sub-groups of numerous topics.
Stamp clubs and philatelic societies can add a social aspect to stamp collecting and provide a forum where novices can meet experienced collectors. Although such organizations are often advertised in stamp magazines and online, the relatively small number of collectors - especially outside urban areas - means that a club may be difficult to set up and sustain. The Internet partially solves this problem, as the association of collectors online is not limited by geographical distance. For this reason, many highly specific stamp clubs have been established on the Web, with international membership.[8]
Organizations such as the Cinderella Stamp Club (UK) retain hundreds of members interested in a specific aspect of collecting. Social organizations, such as the Lions Club and Rotary International, have also formed stamp collecting groups specific to those stamps that are issued from many countries worldwide that display the organization's logo.
Rare stamps
Rare stamps are often old and many have interesting stories attached to them. Some include:
Some of the most valuable stamps in the world
Stamp catalogues are the primary tool used by serious collectors to organize their collections, and for the identification and valuation of stamps. Most stamp shops have stamp catalogues available for purchase. A few catalogues are offered on-line, either free or for a fee. There are hundreds of different catalogues, most specializing in particular countries or periods.
Notable collectors
John Lennon's stamp album
The stamp collection assembled by French-Austrian aristocrat Philipp von Ferrary (1850-1917) at the beginning of the 20th century is widely considered the most complete stamp collection ever formed (or likely to be formed). It included, for example, all of the rare stamps described above that had been issued by 1917. However, as Ferrary was an Austrian citizen, the collection was broken up and sold by the French government after the First World War, as war reparations. A close rival was Thomas Tapling (1855 - 1891), whose Tapling Collection was donated to the British Museum.
Several European monarchs were keen stamp collectors, including King George V of the United Kingdom and King Carol II of Romania. King George V possessed one of the most valuable stamp collections in the world and became President of the Royal Philatelic Society. His collection was passed on to Queen Elizabeth II who, while not a serious philatelist, has a collection of British and Commonwealth first day covers which she started in 1952.[11]
U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a stamp collector; he designed several American commemorative stamps during his term.[12] Late in life Ayn Rand renewed her childhood interest in stamps and became an enthusiastic collector.[13] Several entertainment and sport personalities have been known to be collectors. Freddie Mercury, lead singer of the band Queen, collected stamps as a child. His childhood stamp album is in the collection of the British Postal Museum & Archive.[14]John Lennon of The Beatles was a childhood stamp collector. His stamp album is held by the National Postal Museum.[15]
Former world chess champion Anatoly Karpov has amassed a huge stamp collection over the decades, led by stamps from Belgium and Belgian Congo, that has been estimated to be worth $15 million.[16]

The Apotheosis of Climate McCarthyism
Texas A&M has a large atmospheric sciences department. On their website there are 22 tenured and tenure track faculty. What is really unusual about the department is that all the regular faculty are seemingly required to sign a global warming loyalty oath called the climate change statement. Every faculty member except one new arrival has signed. None of the lowly adjunct faculty’s names appear.
Here is the Texas A & M statement: as you can see, the department pledges it troth to the UN’s IPCC. Having run across a couple of people on the A & M faculty (especially the egregious Andrew Dessler), I don’t think “McCarthyite” (as the left misunderstands that term–but hey, hoist by their own petard and all that) is too strong a term to describe this despicable enforced conformism. As Rogers rightly says:

Financial Education
Trends and behaviour in financial markets
This is significant when it is investors themselves who decide whether to buy or sell, sometimes compulsively, because it leads to volatility in stock markets and other financial markets.
Investing in sovereign fixed income: traditional bonds or strips?
The difference between a strip bond and a traditional one is that a strip is a zero coupon bond, i.e. it does not pay coupons as these are included in the price. Therefore, strip they have a longer duration. For 30Y treasury bonds the duration or sensitivity to movements in interest rates is just under 20 years, while for strip bonds with the same maturity it is close to 30.
Is it good for the stock market to lower unemployment?
The immediate answer could be that a low unemployment rate is good for the stock market.
In the last few years, the unemployment rate has registered a marked decrease in the main geographical areas and has reached historical lows. One of the questions arising from these circumstances refers to the impact of these employment rates on equity performance.
How to invest in capital protected structured products?
Structured products are interesting investment solutions that help us build an investment vehicle that exactly matches our needs from combinations of different financial assets (fixed income, equities, derivatives, etc.) Its flexibility allows us to choose the term of the investment, the underlying assets, the currency, and of course, the level of risk that we want to assume, even delimiting the capital guarantee. Learn with the financial formation of BBVA in Switzerland, how to invest in funds protecting capital.
Impact of official rates on long-term treasury bonds
Investors usually believe that buying long-term US treasury bonds during a period of official rate hikes by the Federal Reserve is an unsuitable alternative. However, this supposition may not be completely true. Financial education with BBVA in Switzerland.
Solvency against risk of non-payment
U.S. treasury bonds act as safe-haven assets in circumstances such as deflationary crises, economic recession or shocks in financial markets. This is due to the fact that, at times such as these, investors in fixed income often reduce their investments in corporate bonds of low credit quality and, as such, high risk of non-payment. Instead, they prefer the maximum solvency of U.S. treasury bonds.
The investor’s chief problem
“The investor’s chief problem, and even his worst enemy, is likely to be himself”
This phrase of Benjamin Graham (considered to be the father of ‘value investing’, is without a doubt what has stuck with me for a long time and that I try to remember often.
How to invest in an economic debt environment
At present, most economies, both developed and also emerging market, are reporting excessive debt levels compared to the past. The amount of debt in the US economy, which in turn sets the pace of the world economy, stands at almost four time the wealth this country produces (measured by it gross domestic product).
what factors affect stock market prices?
The volatility on the stock markets produces some alarm among investors who are speculating about the causes of the falls. Many clients have called us and expressed typical concerns regarding these events. Hence, in the Markets Department at BBVA in Switzerland we feel it would be interesting to explain what factors affect stock market prices.
Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) vs. traditional sovereign bonds
In this survey we shall try to identify the main differences between traditional sovereign bonds and Treasury inflation-protected securities (or TIPS), and to do so we shall focus on the US market, although the conclusions may be extrapolated to other key markets such as Germany, the UK, etc.
How emotions affect investment decisions?
Our emotions influence our decisions. It is vital therefore that we analyse how emotions impact investment decisions, and according to our investor advice and the favourable market indicators, we can reach success when investing.
Demographic growth, key factor for inflation
The authorities, the various institutions and investors are surprised and wonder what is causing inflation in developed countries has remained at all-time lows since the outbreak of the crisis in 2008.
Copper: world economy expansion
In the decision of whether to invest in gold or in copper, there are two very different underlying views of the future of the world economy.
Dots, points that plot our destiny
Despite Janet Yellen, the chair of the US Federal Reserve, is the most influential component in said organisation, we should never forget that she is not alone and there are other members whose vote, and often whose opinion, are equally important.
Wages and salaries, consumption’s indicators
Bearing in mind that consumer confidence in the USA has shot up over recent years (to even stand above the levels prior to the start of the 2008 crisis), it gives every indication that worker remuneration in the world’s biggest economy is going to start rising strongly over the coming quarters.
Inflation and oil, the thin black line
After the crisis that broke out in the USA in 2008, central banks acquired an even more prominent role than they already had to keep their battered economies afloat. With interest rates at all-time lows, the major economies had to resort to non-conventional measures and put debt-purchasing programmes under way, those known as QE (Quantitative Easing).
What are the keystones of gold prices?
Gold prices depend largely on the trend in real interest rates in the USA, i.e. nominal rates minus inflation. The graph compares gold (blue) with the real 5-year interest rate in the USA (orange, on an inverted scale). The lower the real interest rate, the higher the price of gold.
The power of diversification
On 6 June last, the Spanish entity Banco Popular was sold for one euro. The increasing withdrawals of deposits had created an unbridgeable liquidity gap. The European authorities gave the go ahead to the sale of Banco Popular, which marked the disappearance of the entity with the highest efficiency ratio in Spain.
The ISM, an indicator auguring an optimistic future
Despite the volatility and uncertainty reported worldwide in the first three months of the year, the major leading indicator, the US manufacturing index (ISM) is indicating that this country is going to undergo an improvement in its economy over the coming quarters.

Via combusta
Generally defined as between 15°Libraand 15°Scorpio (although differing sources place it at various points from the end of Libra to the beginning of Scorpio). The term translates as “fiery road” or “combust way” and it is considered to be a hostile and debilitating area, particularly detrimental to the Moon. The basis of the unfortunate reputation is possibly an early association with malefic stars, such as the claws of the Scorpion; the fact that the Sun is in detriment in Libra (losing its strength at the autumn equinox); the Moon is in fall in Scorpio; and the two malefics are powerful (Saturn dignified in Libra by exaltation; Mars dignified by sign in Scorpio).
Al Biruni's 11th century definition reads as follows:
The Combust Way
The Combust Way is the last part of Libra and the first of Scorpio. These two signs are not congenial to the sun and the moon on account of the obscurity and ill-luck connected with them, and because each of them is the fall of one of the luminaries. They also contain the two malefics, the one by exaltation (Libra, Saturn) the other by house (Scorpius, Mars). The peculiarity which has given the name muhtariq [burning] is that the exaltation of Saturn is near, the fall of the Sun being on the one hand and that of the Moon on the other, while the adjacent parts of both signs are occupied by terms of Mars.
Book of Elements ... translated by R. RamsayWright, 1934, v.514, p317.
Influence, or effective force or power.
Literally ‘empty’ of influence. The term is especially applied to the Moon when it is out orb of any aspect, and suggests a lack of impetus to move events in any direction. Void of course is when a planet remains out of orb of any aspect for the duration of its movement through its sign.

Recently the market has been plagued with multiple disasters. In mid-March an electrical fire raged through the market, destroying 1/3 of the stalls. Many small retailers lost most of their merchandise in the fire. Shortly thereafter, the Kiva Zip team was approached by Frank Buchanan, who runs a social venture called Inukabuy, that aims to increase income for these small retailers. He was looking for ways to help these retailers get their businesses and lives back on track as quickly as possible. Gaining access to low cost capital seemed like the way to go. Knowing that time was of the essence, we added Frank as a Kiva Zip Trustee in less than 5 days! This meant he could start selecting and endorsing borrowers to get a 0% interest Kiva Zip loan.
I had the opportunity to spend a day in the market with Frank, and we met the retailers who had lost their merchandise in the fire. Hearing their personal stories and how the fire had already impacted their lives, struck a cord with me. There was a real sense of community here. They competed with each other for sales, but were there for each other in time of need – whether it was lending money to one another, selling merchandise for someone that was sick or protecting each other from theft.
As a community, they had already gone through so much, but rather than dwelling on that, they were hopeful and eager to get back to their businesses. In the middle of talking to us about the loan process, they were still trying to attract customers to their stalls and were busy selling whatever they had left.
One of the potential borrowers asked, “Why do these people who don’t know me want to support me?”
Trying to explain crowd funding and the generosity of complete strangers seemed a strange concept to explain, as I’m sure it was to comprehend! The good news is that all the borrowers that were selected for loans that afternoon had their loans funded on the Zip website in less than an hour!
Just when it seemed that these retailers were getting back on their feet, they were victims of another tragedy. Two weeks ago, Gikomba was hit by twin terrorist attacks. In the first incident, an improvised explosive device exploded inside a matatu (public transport van) loaded with people and in the second, a grenade was hurled inside the crowded market. Ten people died, and 76 people were injured in the attack. Hearing about the blasts, my immediate reaction was to ensure that neither Frank nor the borrowers we support were involved. Luckily Frank was out of town and none of our borrowers were affected, though I’m sure their businesses were impacted as the market tried to recover from the blasts. I hope in the near future, we can support more of these retailers through a Kiva Zip loan.
As they say, time and hope are the best healers. It’s now been over two weeks since the terrorist attacks, and the retailers are back at the market, trying to earn a livelihood and return to a sense of normalcy. I’m so inspired by the spirit and resiliency of the people in the market and like the Phoenix they are truly rising from the ashes.

A History of Being Kicked In the Teeth...
I have a long history of trying to make friends, thinking I have made a friend and then having them stab me repeatedly in the back. Over my 21 years of existance, it's made me bitter and untrusting. I spent my childhood jealous of all the other little girls with their 'best friends'. I never had a best friend. I've never really had a friend. At least it makes Christmas cheaper...
For point of case, take my friend from my first year at University. To hide her real name, I'm just going to call her 'Anne'. Anne lived in the room directly below me. She was one of the first people I met at university and we hit it off. We spent a lot of time sitting talking to each other, going for walks (as the campus was very beautiful and we were both into photography), going shopping, cooking together and other friendly things. At the end of the year, we moved into a small house with three other people (all lads). This is where the feud began.
Anne was very friendly with two of the lads. These two were big, hulking manly men. I never saw eye to eye with them, mainly because they were both quite conservative and homophobic and I cannot tollerate prejudice. I became more friendly with the other lad, who was quite quiet and camp and more like me. This caused a direct split down the middle of our household.
On top of this, Anne and her two friends took a dislike to my boyfriend. I have no idea why. My boyfriend is much like me. He's very quiet and polite. He does not drink or smoke. He rarely visited our house, and when he did he always left early as he would have work the next day. The only exception to this rule was one week where I invited him to live with us because his house lost electricity. With the exception of the lad I was friendly will, my other flatmates were incredibly rude and hostile with him.
Eventually, my friend could not take living with them any more and moved out. In his place (against my wishes) they invited a lad I had never met. This lad was autistic and had a history of having very loud tantrums and being violent. I asked Anne if we could meet up and talk to discuss my grievances, as I did not want to leave in bad grace. I got back a text saying "Whatever, all you want is attention". This was the final straw. I left that house and moved in with others. The others are not much better, but at least they like my boyfriend.
So that is just one of my many bad experiences in friendship. I am so lonely, but I just seem to be stabbed in the back by the friends I do make. I would love to have some more likeminded friends. I'm enjoying being to EP as it's a great way to talk to similar people :)

It is unfortunate that there are people like 'Anne' and your ex in this world. I, too, hate the word 'whatever' and wish to expunge it from the English language. I view it as a word that people throw into conversation if they could not care less about you. I was glad to be shut of them and to get on to my life. As Anne since deleted me from her Facebook friends, I have no idea what has happened to her in the last year. I wish her happiness, but have no desire to ever see her again. And EP truly does rock :)
hang in there.unfortuneately ours is not a perfect world and there is no perfect friend or perfect anything.i remember though i had a similar incident with my ex before divorce.i had been chokeing on something and reached out to her for help.her reaction was the same as you described.she said whatever,you just want attention.people overuse the word whatever.this is people who are stupid.they don't know how to react to a situation.so they just blurt out whatever!good for you for moving on.find people who accept you and your boyfriend for who you are.thats all you need.unfortuneately most people are uncareing and unconcerned with the needs and concerns of others and only make friends and relations with others for thier own gain.once they get what they want they whatever and move on.sorry about her.you moved on.you did the right thing.people like that don't deserve to be part of your life.you sound like a good person.you will find better friends.you rock and so does ep.

so it's day 15 of the nablopomo challenge and so far, so good. except maybe? my posts are less meaty than usual and don't have the right amount of fortitude.
but no one said you had to write 30 QUALITY posts. just, um, 30 posts.
as it is, i am TRYING my hardest to be entertaining on an every day basis. but listen, people. it turns out that I'M JUST NOT THAT FUNNY. and also? writing a lot is HARD. now i can kinda relate to those people out on the picket lines.
except? they get paid for writing and i just get a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart.

Middle-east Arab News Opinion | Asharq Al-awsat
The OPEC Summit and Oil - ASHARQ AL-AWSAT English Archive
Select Page
The summit of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries’ [OPEC] is being held in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. There are paramount details that cannot be overlooked as this summit is held in Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil producer and top exporter. There is a civil war and real division going on in the country of one of OPEC’s most important and prominent members, namely, Iraq. There is also an explicit and serious military threat against Iran, which is an influential member of the organization; in addition, we must not overlook the changes in the situations of some OPEC members such as Indonesia, which imports almost as much oil today as it exports. Naturally, all this comes amid a record rise in the prices of crude oil that is close to $100 per barrel.
Despite that the member states are happy with these new remarkable incomes, there is a required caution that should come with this happiness. The great industrial states are no longer affected in the same way as they once were in the past for two fundamental reasons: the first is that there is a radical change in the structuring of the economies in these countries, which have moved away from heavy manufacturing towards an industry of services and economic know-how that do not depend on oil as a main source of energy. Therefore, the large growth in consumption results from the nascent states such as China, India and others. The second reason, just as important as the first, is that these countries have resorted to solid rational policies to decrease oil consumption and to gradually find new methods as an alternative to oil, (nuclear energy in France constitutes 53% of its total consumption of power, while the use of wind energy in the Netherlands constitutes 20% and is remarkably on the rise).
In addition, there is an immense challenge facing OPEC and oil in general. By virtue of the increasing price of this commodity from the commercial perspective, the costs of production and the use of other energy alternatives (the expense of which is the main obstacle to their acceptance and widespread use as a real and practical alternative and consequently oil prices continue to rise as well as the scarcity of newly discovered oil wells and sites) would make this situation a certain and established reality and would make oil deplete economically before its natural depletion (coal for example, which is still being produced but has no economic value). Furthermore, environmental pressure from countries and international organizations cannot be overlooked as they strongly continue to pressure the oil producing countries through tightened legislations and policies to protect the environment; the costs for which will be immense on these countries. However, there is a clear inclination that some of the OPEC members prefer the natural gas line and the obvious future gamble over it at the expense of oil based on the consideration that gas is a cleaner commodity and is devoid of the environmental problems that come with oil.
It is clear from all that is stated above that OPEC is proceeding to an unprecedented stage of its history, or the history of oil itself, between the exultation experienced by its members for the immense level of incomes and the oil countdown as a commodity as a result of the depletion of wells and the reduction of alternative energies where oil is running on its last legs. Therefore, the question remains: how do we prolong this period with the best results both practically and effectively so that nobody has to deal with the shock of having the rug pulled from under their feet?

Russian Roulette: The Invasion of Ukraine - Part 27
This week, the Ukrainian military launched an anti-terrorist operation to quell the pro-Russia violence and unrest that has swept eastern Ukraine. VICE News correspondent Simon Ostrovsky interviewed troops deployed in the operation at the border between Kharkiv and Donetsk, and then traveled to Kramatorsk, where pro-Russia protesters were attempting to take over an airfield.
When Simon arrived, it seemed that the airfield was still under Ukrainian control, but the pro-Russia protesters were outside preparing to seize it. Once the head of the anti-terror operation appeared outside the base, the commander was accosted by the protesters until he retreated back inside—so much for his anti-terror operation.

Image Encryption and Decryption Using Radon
1. Introduction
Recent advances in optical image encryption
and decryption techniques are capable of
protecting the digital images which are
being communicated over various
transmission media from leakage. Image
applications like medical image data bases,
military images, confidential video
conferencing, cable TV, personal
photograph album, etc. require reliable, fast
and robust security system to store and
transmit digital images. With the help of
efficient optical encryption and decryption
technique, one can fulfill the requirements
of security needs of digital images. A
number of optical image encryption systems
have been proposed by various research
groups‟ earlier [1–10].In real time
applications, highly accurate and fast
computing and parallelism of optics and
optoelectronics techniques are very useful.
Many parameters in optics such as
wavelength, phase, polarization, etc. by
which information can be hidden more
securely in various types of images [11].
Xinxin Li et al proposed propose a new
method for color image encryption by
wavelength multiplexing on the basis of
two-dimensional (2-D) generalization of 1-
fractional Hartley transform that has been
redefined recently in search of its inverse
transform. A color image can be considered
as three monochromatic images and then
divided into three components and each
component is encrypted independently with
different wavelength corresponding to red,
green or blue light [12]. Naveen Kumar
Nishchal et al. proposed and implemented a
fully phase-encrypted memory system using
cascaded extended fractional Fourier
transform (FRT). We encrypt and decrypt a
two-dimensional image obtained from an
amplitude image. The full phase image to be
encrypted is fractional Fourier transformed
three times and random phase masks are
placed in the two intermediate planes [13].
Madan Singh et al. proposed a simple and
secure double random phase encoding and
decoding system to encrypt and decrypt a
two-dimensional gray scale image. Jigsaw
transforms of the second random phase
mask and the encrypted image have been
used. The random phase mask placed in the
Fourier plane is broken into independent
non-overlapping segments by applying the
jigsaw transforms [14]. Yong-Ying Wang et
al. proposed a method of optical image
encryption with binary Fourier transform
computer-generated hologram (CGH) and
pixel-scrambling technology is presented. In
this method, the orders of the pixel
scrambling, as well as the encrypted image,
are used as the keys to decrypt the original
Transform for Information Security
image. Therefore, higher security is
achieved. Furthermore, the encrypted image
is binary, so it is easy to be fabricated and
robust against noise and distortion [15].
Huijuan Li et al. proposed a double-image
encryption algorithm is proposed, which can
simultaneously encrypt two images into a
single one as the amplitude of gyrator
transform with two different groups of
angles. The two original images can be
retrieved independently by gyrator
transforms with two different groups of
angles, one common phase mask, and two
different private phase masks. The proposed
approach can enlarge the key space, achieve
faster convergence in iterative process, and
avoid cross-talk between two images in
reconstruction. Numerical simulations are
presented to verify its validity and efficiency
[16]. Madan Singh et al. proposed the
encryption and decryption of two-
dimensional images. The encryption is done
by employing a sandwich phase diffuser
made by using two elongated speckle
patterns, and placed in the Fourier plane of a
double random phase encoding system.
After encryption, the two constituent phase
diffusers of such a sandwich diffuser are
separated. During decryption, if the
conjugate of either of the two elongated
phase speckle patterns is used, the image
cannot be retrieved. Correct decryption is
also not possible if a sandwich diffuser with
any of the phase speckle patterns is shifted
in position with respect to the other. For
decryption, the encrypted image is Fourier
transformed and multiplied by the conjugate
of the sandwich diffuser, and then the
product is further Fourier transformed [17].
Narendra Singh and Aloka Sinha proposed a
new method for image encryption, using
gyrator transform and chaos theory. Random
phase masks are generated using chaos
functions and are called a schaotic random
phase masks. In the proposed technique, the
image is encrypted using gyrator transform
and two chaotic random phase masks. Three
types of chaos functions have been used to
generate the chaotic random phase masks.
These chaos functions are the logistic map,
the tent map and the Kaplan-Yorke map
In the present investigation, a new optical
image encryption and decryption technique
based on Radon Transform and Chaos
2. Radon Transform
The Radon transform in two dimensions, is
the integral transform consisting of the
integral of a function over straight lines. The
inverse of the Radon transform is used to
reconstruct images from medical computed
tomography scans. In the context of
tomography the Radon transform data is
often called a sinogram because the Radon
transform of a Dirac delta function is a
distribution with support on the graph of a
sine wave. Consequently the Radon
transform of a number of small objects
appears graphically as a number of blurred
sine waves with different amplitudes and
phases. The Radon transform is useful in
computed axial tomography (CAT scan),
electron microscopy of macromolecular

3. Chaotic Functions
In mathematics, chaos theory describes the
behavior of certain dynamical systems ie.,
systems whose state evolves with time – that
may exhibit dynamics that are highly
sensitive to initial conditions (popularly
referred to as the butterfly effect). As a
result of this sensitivity, which manifests
itself as an exponential growth of
perturbations in the initial conditions, the
behavior of chaotic systems appears to be
random. This happens even though these
systems are deterministic, meaning that their
future dynamics are fully defined by their
initial conditions, with no random elements
involved. This behavior is known as
deterministic chaos, or simply chaos.
Chaotic behaviour is also observed in
natural systems, such as the weather. This
may be explained by a chaos-theoretical
analysis of a mathematical model of such a
system, embodying the laws of physics that
are relevant for the natural system. A chaotic
map is a map that exhibits some sort of
chaotic behavior. Maps may be
parameterized by a discrete-time or a
continuous-time parameter. Discrete maps
usually take the form of iterated functions.
Chaotic maps often occur in the study of
systems. In our encryption technique the
Random phase mask has been generated by
using logistic map as the chaotic map.
Logistic Chaos map is a one dimensional
and discrete map which is given by the
where :
is a number between zero and
one, and represents the population at year n,
and hence
represents the initial
population or seed value (at year 0)
r is a positive number, and represents a
combined rate for reproduction and
starvation. It can be any number between 0
and 4.
5. Cryptographic Enhancement
For an mxn image two sequence of random
number of length m and n corresponding to
each row and column of the image are
generated. At first each pixel of the image is
replaced by the r‟th pixel from the right
of the original pixel, where r is the random
number corresponding to that particular row.
Same action is performed with respect to
column. During decryption same action is
performed in the reverse direction yielding
the correct image. The procedure is
explained in fig.1. The sequence of random
number acts as a set of key, and this whole
operation adds additional security feature to
the encryption.
4. Proposed Technique
The proposed encryption and decryption
technique is based on the Radon Transforms
and chaos. Let f(x,y) denotes the original
image to be encrypted. In the proposed
technique, the image is encrypted using
Radon Transform and and double CRPMs.
The problem of bare
decryption [23] in HT has been resolved by
introducing the random intensity mask
(RIM)at the input plane. Recently, chaotic
based encryption method using optical
communication [25], Ikeda-based non linear
delay dynamics [26] and optical ring
resonators[27] have been proposed. Chaos
functions are very sensitive to the initial
conditions [28–30]. In optical image
encryption techniques using RIM, the image
is encrypted using RIMs and the whole
random intensity mask has to be sent to the
receiver side to decrypt the original image
The input image is multiplied by the first
CRIM represented as C(x,y), where C(x,y)
is the random numbers sequence generated
by the chaotic function at input plane.Then
the improper HT with fractional
parameter„p‟ is performed over it. The
output image obtained after improper HT is
then multiplied by the second CRIM
represented by the C(u,v), where C(u,v) is
the random number sequence generated by
the chaotic function at image plane.After
this process, the encrypted image is obtained
at the improper HTplane. The encryption
process can be explained as follows and the
block diagram for optical image encryption
is shown in figure i(a).
The input image as well as all other images
after each process has been given in figures
A gray scaled Lena (256 x256)image is used
as input image in digital form. The input
image is transformed by using Radon
transform. The transformed image is of a
different size (367x451)with respect to the
input image .The number of rows of the
transformed image depends on the number
of intensity level present in the image while
the number of column depends on the total
number of angel for which RT is taken ,
which acts as a security feature .The
transformed image is multiplied with the
random phase mask represented by
exp(ipiC(x)) here C(x) is the logistic map
function. The row column shift operation is
performed on this output to generate the
encrypted image. The encryption procedure
is shown in fig 1.a
International Journal of Image Processing and Visual Communication
Volume 1 , Issue1, August 2012
For decryption the pixels are shifted to their
original coordinates by applying row
column shift operation in the reverse
direction, and then this image is multiplied
with the conjugate of the random phase
mask. Now inverse radon transform applied
for the same set angel as of radon transform
yields the original input image . The
decryption procedure is shown in fig 1.b
The results obtained are shown through fig 2.a to 2.i

6. Robustness of the algorithm to blind
Various Analysis carriedout to determine the
robustness and reliability of the proposed
scheme.They are described below.
a.MSE - An ideal image encryption
procedure should be sensitive with respect to
the secret key i.e. the slightest change in the
key should results in a failed decryption .
For testing the key sensitivity of the
proposed image encryption procedure, we
have plotted the MSE between the original
image and image decrypted with different
wrong keys .

7. Conclusions:
A highly efficient optical image encryption
and decryption Technique Using Radon
Transforms and Chaos function has been
proposed .The technique is highly robust
and has great immunity to unauthorized
decryption.The original and decrypted
image are highly correlated .The Technique
can be realized by optical means and hence
is useful for optical networks.

Hybrid Club for Chips
My Mom loves to use it around the green. Its wide sole makes it easy to pop the ball onto the green and let it roll like a putt. The set up is the same as your basic chip shot. You’ll want to choke down on the club because it is much longer than your short clubs – so you typically use around the green.
Play the ball in the upper middle of a narrow stance and make your normal chip stroke. The key is to land the ball just on to the green and from there…let the ball roll like a putt to the hole.
AG_HybridChipThe hybrid club is so versatile.

Currently, there are no US national standards for installing, operating, or maintaining EV charging stations. Disparities exist among EV charging stations in critical ways, such as operational practices, payment methods, price to charge, and information about the availability and functioning of each charging station.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) proposes establishing regulations setting minimum standards and requirements for projects funded under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program. The NEVI Formula Program will provide $5 billion in dedicated funding to States to strategically deploy EV charging infrastructure and build the backbone of an interconnected US network along its highways.
The FHWA proposes standards to build a national network of reliable EV chargers
Under FHWA’s proposed rule, the standards would specify requirements for a minimum number and type of chargers capable of supporting drivers’ fast charging needs, interoperability and network connectivity, and mandatory information such as pricing and real-time availability, among others.
The standards would ensure a unified network making EV charging accessible to all Americans. With similar payment methods, pricing, and charging speeds, it wouldn’t matter what EV you drive, which state you charge in, or what charger you plug into.
AMPECO’s recommendations for accelerating the US electric vehicle charging market
As a global leader in providing EV charging management solutions, AMPECO considers the NEVI Funding Program a timely opportunity to kickstart a future-proof deployment of charging infrastructure across all of its use-cases in the public domain.
Public comments for FHWA’s notice were due by August 22, 2022. We respectfully submitted the following comments to ensure the appropriate conditions that will allow the EV charging market to accelerate further.
1. Focus on open standards and protocols
First and foremost, AMPECO strongly recommends incorporating in the proposed Rule only standards and protocols that are “open access,” such as OCPP and OCPI, and thus easily available to all market players. This will guarantee a future-proof approach by avoiding any potential technology lock-ins. Ahead of mandating a set of standards, it is crucial to ensure their full compatibility (or interoperability) and compliance vis-a-vis the charger and the vehicle. A balanced approach would be to apply additional guidance once a standard or protocol is widely adopted in the ecosystem.
2. Longer funding durations to allow strategic planning [Section 680.106]
Pioneering long-term financial models through tender durations longer than 10 or even 15 years will be helpful as the EV charging market picks up pace in the coming years, and public charger utilization is still relatively low. Such an approach substantially improves the economics of EV charging, thus making it affordable to install, maintain and refurbish public chargers. Ultimately, this reduces the cost for drivers and opens up more opportunities to install chargers in previously uneconomical areas (e.g., rural or low-income communities).
3. Payment method flexibility [Section 680.106]
One added value from EV charging for operators is the flexibility to tailor their business models to a wide range of customers. Particularly in the context of fleets, there are currently many services that can be linked to how payment is made with a view towards setting various tariffs. The currently feasible market model for corporate billing and flexible tariffs might be negatively affected by an over-prescriptive requirement for payment of individual charging sessions.
AMPECO is eager to accelerate EV charging across the US
At AMEPCO, we support the Federal Highway Administration and the U.S. Department of Transportation in their efforts to standardize EV infrastructure. We stand firmly behind forward-looking regulations that give stakeholders the mechanisms to deploy EV charging infrastructure that will accelerate the transition to EVs.
AMPECO’s white-label EV charging software platform allows businesses to take advantage of the electric revolution. We are ready to offer our assistance and expertise to institutions, charge point operators, and business owners in further developing EV charging across the United States.
Talk to our EV charging experts about how we can help you achieve your goals and set you up for long-term success.

Further thoughts on the Bahrain Grand Prix
F1 fails to see itself as others see it
So, the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend has now passed. For all of Messrs Todt's and Ecclestone's public bombast on the issue, there will no doubt been small, private, sighs of relief from both that the F1 event itself passed broadly without disruption (joining many others in so doing). But it cannot be said that F1 came out of the weekend unscathed, as the sport continued its uncanny ignorance and/or ambivalence of how it's viewed more widely.
Credit: Emily Faulk / CC
Whatever the rights and wrongs of the Bahraini situation might be, F1, frankly, was made to look terrible it the course of the weekend. It featured on the front pages and at the top of news bulletins interspersed with coverage of Bahraini civil unrest and clashes, including the death of one protester (and the staging of an F1 race was clearly a focus for many protesting), as well as with stories of mainstream journalists being barred from the country and of others being arrested. The sport also appeared, whatever their protestations of being apolitical, rather like it was taking sides, and way too close to the Bahraini regime funding the event. The broad impression for those looking on was that F1 is amoral, avaricious and (helped by the flippant remarks of Bernie and of the world champion) rather insensitive to what's going on around it.
Even though F1 made some money from holding the Bahrain race, the parallel damage of what you'd call F1's 'brand equity' is of course immeasurable, which in turn impacts the sport's ability to attract fans, media, sponsors and manufacturers. And it surely should have been seen coming from a long way off. Even though some in and around F1 have been complaining that the media coverage has been terribly unfair and unrepresentative, not focusing on the local support for the race and the areas of calm in Bahrain, saying this betrays a breathtaking naivety of how the media work, as well as that, possibly, reflects that the F1 fraternity was kept inside a bubble for much of the weekend.
So it all makes you wonder what exactly was in this for F1, and why the decison to call a halt was never made. Perhaps with bucks for Bernie and Middle Eastern FIA votes for Todt on offer they thought it was all worth it, perhaps also that it would be forgotten about soon enough. Perhaps (as Bernie said post hoc) they believed there's no such thing as bad publicity. But perhaps they just called it all very wrong. You wonder if they had their time again whether they'd make the same decision.
The dog that didn't bark
Holmes: 'That was the curious incident.'
Martin Whitmarsh of McLaren -
a possible block to FOTA unity on Bahrain?
Credit: Paddy Briggs / CC
Just as Sherlock Holmes in Silver Blaze noted the 'curious incident' of a dog not barking (because no stranger was present) to solve a mystery, many onlookers wondered aloud why none of the F1 participants raised objection to sport's haphazard path into the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend. If insiders are to be believed, plenty were expressing concern, and frankly, in private.
For one thing, the experience of Force India being blacked out from much of the weekend's television feed coverage shed some light as to why many would have likely been reluctant to say or do anything 'off message'. For another, F1 is structured in such a way that makes it next to impossible for any one team (or even for a small number together) to act arbitrarily. The Concorde Agreement binds the teams to the FIA and FOM, and pulling out of even one race can be met with a $50m fine, and even exclusion from the championship. Further, those who run F1 teams are individualistic in nature, and invariably refuse to trust one and other. Their inability to work together for a common good, and to resist temptation to look for their own advantage, are legendary.
A lot of this was at play when the teams' association FOTA splintered over the off-season. I did wonder whether this F1 in Bahrain situation would have played out differently had it still been hanging together. I always felt FOTA was a healthy counterbalance to the powers of Messrs Todt and Ecclestone over the sport, as well as seemed to have a much stronger sense of how F1 is viewed more widely. With this, had the 11 FOTA teams refused to attend the Bahrain round there's presumably little Bernie or Todt could have done. No one would have paid to watch two HRTs circulating around the Sakhir circuit.
But would FOTA have refused? An elephant in the room would have been McLaren, major players in FOTA, and the fact that it is 50% owned by the investment arm of the Bahrain government. The Woking squad would have had lots of reasons not to go along with any move to pull out of the race. Indeed, if FOTA hadn't have splintered last winter, this Bahrain race may have caused it subsequently.
Rosberg creates his own controversy
'I wasn't even personally involved; in front of me, Mansell was trying to pass (Andrea) de Cesaris - and I couldn't believe some of the moves Andrea was making to hold him back...I believed strongly that FISA (the sporting arm of the FIA) should have taken action against him...I guess I'm basically talking about respect. And today I don't think there is very much respect in this business. ..Today it's all weaving like Formula 3, and at this level I find that a shame.'
Nico Rosberg won few friends in Bahrain
Credit: Morio / CC
Who said this? It was one Keke Rosberg, back in his days as an F1 driver. With that, you wonder what he would have made of his lad Nico's antics in the Bahrain race last Sunday.
Yes, it didn't take F1 long to create on its own on-track controversy in Bahrain. Twice in the race Rosberg swerved over the entire width of the track in seeking to keep a car behind, first with Lewis Hamilton (unsuccessfully), then with Fernando Alonso (successfully). Both moves looked dangerous, and but for the actions in avoidance (in Hamilton's case, going off the track) of the driver behind either easily could have resulted in carnage. It wasn't a surprise that the stewards investigated both incidents (albeit after the race). What was a surprise was that they then let Nico away with it. And their reasons for doing so were startling, stating that in both incidents Nico couldn't have known where the other car was (in that case, why swerve out there?) and that there was a large speed differential between the two cars (yes, and? And if nothing else it's a good reason not to move around).
I feel that defensive moves which essentially give an opponent a choice of taking avoiding action or crashing are both crude and potentially lethal, and thus have no place in Formula 1 as I know it. And article 20.4 of the sporting regulations says: 'deliberate crowding of a car beyond the edge of the track or any other abnormal change of direction, are not permitted' (and has done since the start of 2011) yet I cannot recall a single instance of the rule being enforced. Nor can I think of a more quintessential example of it than what we saw from Rosberg (twice) in Bahrain.
And I suspect that, generally (i.e not just Rosberg), drivers are becoming complacent in the extent that they're pushing the envelope wheel-to-wheel. While I'm a fan in the main of stewards butting out, I'd rather penalties deterred those sort of stunts now than waiting for the worst to happen for the same end.
Schumi fails on history
Michael Schumacher has many talents: that he has won seven world championships and 91 Grands Prix underlines that in thick black lines.
Credit: Mark McArdle / CC
However, knowledge of F1's history has never appeared to be one of them. He'd probably admit that himself; indeed I've heard him comment that in his formative days he hardly followed F1 at all, he was too busy karting.
There may have been some of this at play in Schumi's comments after the Bahrain race on the subject of Pirelli tyres, that he: 'had to drive at a pace to manage the tyres to finish with tyres left over' and in particular when he said it was in his view 'not what a Formula 1 event should be'.
For the most part of Schumacher's F1 career races have indeed been characterised by being a series of sprints. Frequent fuel stops and tyre changes, along with tyres that hardly degraded in their performance, ensured this. But before the 'refuelling era' F1 races usually had a strong endurance element, with managing tyres in a race a key part of the driver's skill set.
And while races as a series of sprints may have been exciting for those participating, they were often less so for those watching on. For all that the lack of overtaking was wrestled with by F1 rule makers in recent times, a major factor that was hardly mentioned is that it is variation in cars' pace that results in overtaking. And the problem with races being a series of sprints is that pace variation, both within a race and between qualifying and the race, is massively diminished. And if the quickest guys start at the front of the grid and the slowest guys at the back and they all run to their maximum throughout we shouldn't be surprised that they just move apart from each other and thus not give us any passing.
With the Pirelli tyres which, deliberately, are designed to degrade, we have to a large extent gone back to the F1 of the past, and the on-track entertainment we're being treated to now reflects this. Schumi may have had a point if he meant that consciously designing sub-optimum product is not in keeping what 'an F1 event should be'. But I'd rather defend that point than defend boring races.
Kimi gives us what we thought we'd never see
Some positivity to end with. When Schumi returned to the sport after three years away there was much anticipation that we'd get to see what we had thought we'd never: namely wheel-to-wheel battles featuring him versus the 'new generation', Hamilton, Vettel and the like. For various reasons we've almost never seen these up until now, but F1's other comeback kid, Kimi Raikkonen, gave use exactly that in Bahrain in just his fourth race back.
Kimi Raikkonen - back to where he belongs
Credit: Morio / CC
Seeing Kimi perform just like it was old times was probably the high point of the Bahrain Grand Prix. One could barely see the join between Kimi's race on Sunday and him performing at his very peak back in his McLaren days.
It seems odd to think that, just a few weeks ago, many had severe doubts of the wisdom of Lotus offering Kimi a way back into the sport this year, many pointing to his apparently wavering motivation in his Ferrari days, and perhaps having their views coloured by Schumi's relative comeback struggles.
But Kimi's experience has been something else entirely: given access to a rapid machine and with a team that clearly revere him, we've seen three entirely respectable performances followed by one in Bahrain in which all of his considerable driving talent was on display. And if anyone can jump into an F1 car and take it to its maximum in no time it's Kimi. His is a freakish, instinctive talent, and he was never one that required a lot of practice and refinement to set quick lap times.
There are many good things about F1 in 2012. Kimi being back to where he belongs is one of them.
1. The Bahrain GP was great, good to see some unpredictability :)
This is great stuff mate, got yourself another follower (another huge F1 fan). Whilst I don't have the dedication like you do, I do try and talk about F1 on my blog every now and again.
2. Thanks very much for the kind words! Very nice of you to say so, very glad you like the blog. I'll check out your blog too.
Yes, the Bahrain GP was a good one, and I'm loving F1 in 2012. It's great to see a tight field and unusual front-runners. It's about time we saw it too!
3. Indeed. 2011 was great, as F1 always is, but when anyone dominates it gets tiresome. Still good to see someone so young do so well; even if he is German!
Can't wait for Barcelona, hopefully Vettel's win in Bahrain means he won't steal a march on the rest of the field. I'd like to see the Lotus' win! What a story that would be.

If you have ever experienced a blocked kitchen sink, you know that there are just some things that are not meant to be washed down the drain. While you may think most liquids are safe for plumbing because they are in your home, you may be surprised to learn that many products that you use every day can cause major problems in your plumbing and in the environment. Here is a list of common household items to keep out of your pipes:
Paper towels/pre-moistened wipes/cotton balls: Toilet paper is flushed every day, but it is designed to break down when in contact with water. Other paper objects are more durable, so instead of dissolving, they just block the pipes or increase the probability of a sewer back up or overflow. If that happens, well, you are going to need plenty more paper towels.
Medications: For a long time, people have flushed extra medications or poured them in drains, thinking it was safe to do. Unfortunately, those prescriptions find their way to our water supply, including lakes, rivers, oceans, and ground water. The impact on the environment is not worth it, especially if many people continue to dispose of their old medicine in this fashion.
Cooking oil, grease, or fat: Any cooking fat will create build up over time that can lead to a blocked kitchen sink, clogged drains, and a lot of headaches. Some of these items may be composted, although they may attract animals. Community recycling centers may also accept them for biodiesel, so you may have several options for better disposal.
Coffee grounds and egg shells: An old belief is that both of these kitchen waste items are fine to put in your garbage disposal, but in fact, they are a frequent cause for clogged drains, creating the kind of blockage that will earn you a scolding from the plumber. Again, these kitchen scraps are compostable and easily reused.
Paint: Never pour paint in your sink, period. Take it to your community recycling center. You do not want to negatively impact the water supply and ecosystems with paint or other chemicals.
Cleaning products: They may be approved for cleaning surfaces in your home, but many cleaning products contain phosphates and other harmful chemicals that will do a number to the environment. Some of these products may also combine in your drains to create a corrosive substance that will weaken your pipes.
The bottom line is that you should exercise caution when putting products in your plumbing system. Not only you be protecting the environment, but you will also be preventing a blocked kitchen sink.
Call (805) 594-1020 Culbert Construction & Plumbing for all your repair and maintenance needs!

Ways to Get the Best Out of Your Student
It’s common knowledge that home tuition benefits the student receiving it. As these students are the future, the adults helping them grow such as their parents, teachers, and tutors all work together to help make the road for them easier and with more chances of success. As tutors, the goal is to help them discover ways how they can motivate themselves to do well in their studies, grow and develop useful habits, and help them see their potential.
Tutors have several techniques to get the best work out of their students. No task should be half-baked for them to achieve their maximum potential. Think of it as an example of the butterfly effect, every task they do would build up and affect them in the future. However, with so many techniques and strategies around, how would tutors know which would get the right results? After all, some strategies are bound to work in one circumstance but not in another. If you’re a tutor and you want to help your student get the most opportunity to grow and get the best work from them, here are some questions relating to those useful strategies.
1. What is your standard for “quality”?
More often, standards can be subjective. This means that standards for one can’t be the same for another. However, with the student’s case, standards for their work can be graded according to different criteria. With this, it can be understood that students have to familiarize themselves with the different criteria involved in different kinds of work.
Now, this doesn’t mean that the student should always rely on the standards given to them to speak for the quality of their work. In such cases where the tutors want to help the child produce their best work, the student should learn how to set their own set of criteria specifically for themselves. As such, tutors should be there to help them with making their criteria. Applying “good quality” to their work doesn’t work like magic without guidance. They need to learn how to do it before they can do it themselves. Tutors can also help their students set their methods and guidelines in order to achieve the standard the student has set for themselves. The tutor can also add some examples on how to apply their criteria to their work and offer assistance when needed.
2. What is the purpose?
When a student does work for the sake of doing work, there may be instances where they limit their work and produce something short of what they can proud of. If the student doesn’t understand the purpose of the task, they may interpret the purpose whichever way they can and as a result, may be unable to complete their task. It also helps if the tutor asks them why they chose to do a specific method to complete the task.
By helping them understand the purpose of their work, they can achieve the best output for their task. Explain to them also the importance of the task and emphasize that they can finish their tasks no matter the difficulty. Again, offer assistance when needed but also encourage them to work on their tasks according to their chosen method and standard of quality.
3. Why not start small?
Huge tasks can be daunting when tackled head-on. They can be overwhelming as well for the student and has all the potential to build up stress and result in burnout. It helps the student to understand how the task works and fit them together. When the student is given a large task, teach them how to break up the tasks into smaller tasks. Make sure they get the idea behind doing smaller tasks first and how it helps them complete the larger, more daunting task without getting overwhelmed. As such, breaking down the task or idea can also help the students pace themselves as well as apply their learning to the smaller task in order to fulfill the bigger task.
4. Do you revisit old works?
One good thing about collecting assignments and previous work from the student during tuition sessions is that it allows the tutor to compile the works and see how well the student has improved. By looking at the past work of the student, tutors can see which part they have managed to develop, which they are still developing in, and which they continue to struggle in. As such, previous works also allow the student to see how well they did and which part they can still improve in.
Students and tutors can take a look at the student’s previous work and identify the areas they have improved in and how they can complete a task with various other methods that still give the best results. As a practice, the tutor can even ask the student to redo their previous work using a different method to see if they can give better work than the ones they have already done. This gives the student a chance to explore the different methods and find the best one that works for the student. The student may also be inspired by learning other methods or finding new ways to get better results.
5. How do you give feedback?
Tutors should remember that they are dealing with children and mostly, that means that they may be sensitive to certain comments. This is why tutors shouldn’t always comment on their student’s actions as it may cause them to take it the wrong way and even lose interest thinking that they are not good enough or that they failed.
How the tutor gives their feedback is just as important as the feedback itself. Make sure that the time giving feedback is sufficient but is also not dragging. A longer time in giving feedback may cause the student to think they have done something wrong as it can border to a lecture. It also helps if the tutor approaches the feedback in a manner that doesn’t intimidate the student or make them uncomfortable. Remember that feedback is given for them to learn from, not to put them down.
Tutors should also make sure that the feedback they’ll give will help with the student’s learning style. They can also give students examples of how they can improve their methods on certain tasks or something that they might have missed. Don’t immediately react when the student has made mistakes especially just after the task is completed. Instead, take the time to review the work and examine what better ways can be used to complete the task in lieu of immediately giving the feedback. As such, since feedbacks should be useful, tutors can also help the student on how to apply feedback given to them to their work and use it for the better.
6. What are the student’s opinions about the task/work?
When students are completing a task, there are many thoughts running through their minds. It also helps for students to sort out their thoughts and opinions about the task given to them. When they are doing their task, ask them about their opinions and feelings. What do they think about the task or topic? What do they like about the topic? Do they have inhibitions about the topic? Do they think the topic is important? Why is it important? What do they think they’re going to feel after completing the topic?
By being aware of what they are thinking or feeling about the topic or task, they are gearing towards ways and methods that they can use to get better results. Strategies can be used according to what the student already knows, what they need to work on, and the best approach to learn and master the new material. Aside from this, this also goes back to the #2 question which is asking what is their purpose for doing this task.
7. What are the distractions that are keeping them?
Distractions, especially when students are doing certain tasks, can be one of the causes why students couldn’t give their very best. Some students lack the motivation to get to work while others finish their work in a hurry because they want to watch TV or play.
Getting the students’ attention can be hard work but keeping them focused on their work is beneficial for them. Tutors should be able to help to keep their attention on the task at hand whether by means of using videos, music, or letting the student experience the topic firsthand. Be sure that the activity to keep them focused is also aligned with the task they are trying to complete.
8. Do you provide encouragement?
Positive reinforcements give students the satisfaction that their work is seen and appreciated. When the student does well, recognize their hard work. Use this opportunity to help them understand that they can continue doing well and even better. As such, when they are struggling, tutors can also use that same moment to remind them of their hard work. Looking back at their achievements boosts the student’s motivation and self-esteem and can help build their confidence.
All tutors want their students to give the best work they can. However, that is easier said than done. There are many struggles the student and tutor may encounter along the journey of reaching the student’s goals. However, when the tutor aims to get the best work from students, they should also know that students need help to produce them. And what better help they can get than that of their home tutors? With the questions we’ve posed above, we hope that tutors can formulate their own strategies to help their students do well.

THW Index: This apparent temperature is calculated using the actual temperature, the relative humidity and the wind speed. It therefore takes into account the cooling and heating effects of wind and the effect of humidity on our perception of temperature. It is in effect a combination of the wind chill temperature and the heat index temperature.

Music of India
Tyagaraja was a legendary classical musical vocalist and Carnatic music composer. Explore this article to get a glimpse of this legend's biography.
Born On: May 4, 1767
Born In: Thiruvarur, Thanjavur
Died On: January 6, 1847
Career: Carnatic Composer
Nationality: Indian
Tyagaraja was a renowned music composer during the latter half of the 18th century and continues to remain an iconic figure in classical Carnatic music. With his life dedicated to composing devotional hymn, he is regarded nothing less than a saint who preached philosophy through them. His songs are eternal melodies that inspire devotion in the hearts of many. Tyagaraja's spartan way of life reflects on his unshakable faith in Lord Rama and true devotion for him. His music pieces give a deeper and philosophical meaning of our existence on earth. His life revolved around three aspects - spirituality, music, and godliness, which saw a perfect synchronization of these three characteristics. Tyagaraja's compositions continue to be glorified in every musical event. The Tyagaraja Aradhana is one of the most popular festivals held annually in Thiruvaiyaru to honor his works and life. The festival is a convergence of classical vocalists and instrumentalists across various cities in India.
Early Life
Tyagaraja was born as Kakarla Tyagabrahmam in Tiruvarur town, Thanjavur district, Tamil Nadu. He was born in a traditional Hindu Brahmin family to Kakarla Ramabrahmam and Sitamma, who encouraged him to sing devotional songs. He was born at his maternal grandfather, Giriraja Kavi's house, a renowned court poet and composer for the king of Thanjavur. Many others believe that he followed the footsteps of his maternal grandfather to pursue his interest in music.
Tyagaraja began his musical career with training under Sonti Venkataramanayya, an eminent scholar during that period. During his formal training, he never emphasized on the technical aspect of classical music but, instead, saw it as a means to experience spiritual bliss. His attempts at singing were purely devotional and without any other materialistic reason behind. By the time he reached his teenage years, he had already began to show a talent for composing music for his first song "Namo Namo Raghavayya", a raga which is said to be extolled on the walls of his house. Few years later when he completed his formal training from his guru, he was invited again by Sonti Venkataramanayya for performing live. Tyagaraja honored the invite and performed for his guru by singing "Endaro Mahaanubhavulu", the fifth musical piece out of the five pancharatna krithis. Venkataramanayya was impressed with his talent and recommended him to the King to join his court. The king's invitation was sent to Tyagaraja but he refused to be a court singer, which, in turn, led to the composition of the popular kirthan 'Nidhi Chala Sukhama'. His elder brother was highly infuriated by his younger brother's behavior and threw Lord Rama's statue in River Kaveri that Tyagaraja used to worship. Tyagaraja was deeply affected by this, which proved to be the turning point of his compositions of several devotional songs. He was highly distressed and left home to seek inner peace. He visited several pilgrimage sites dedicated to Lord Rama and led an extremely austere way of living by giving up worldly pleasures, dedicating his time in singing and compiling devotional songs on Lord Rama. On the course of his journey, Tyagaraja was often followed by many of his disciples who noted down his compositions on palm leaves. He is said to have sung about 24,000 songs out of which only 700 exist today as most of the palm leaves, on which they were written, perished in time. Apart from songs, he also created two popular musical dramas, titled "Prahalada Bhakti Vijayam" and "Nauka Charitam". Today, however, his songs are celebrated for the Carnatic music in them and continue to be sung in many concerts across the world.
With thousands of devotional musical pieces that Tyagaraja composed, it would not be an exaggeration to state that he was a musical genius who laid down the foundation of Carnatic music in India. There are several musical festivals that are conducted around the globe but the most popular one is Tyagaraja Aradhana, conducted at Thiruvaiyaru between the months of January and February every year. The festival displays hundreds of vocalists and instrumentalists from different parts of South India. Two films have been made on his life - one in 1946 by popular Chittor V. Nagaiah, and the second one in 1981 by Bapu, also referred as Ramana.
Personal Life & Death
When Tyagaraja was 18, he was married to Parvatamma in 1784, but she died in 1789. Later, in 1790, he married her sister, Kamalamba. The couple had a daughter named Sitalakshmi. Tyagaraja left his mortal corpse on January 6, 1847 but not much is known about the final days of his life.
1767: Born on May 4 in Tiruvarur town, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu
1784: Married to Parvatamma
1789: Parvatamma passed away
1790: Married to Sitalakshmi
1847: Died on January 6
1941: Tyagaraja Aradhana was established.

Treating Hypertrophic Turbinates with Nose Surgery
When a person is battling with chronic allergies that are untreated, it can lead to symptoms of nasal airway obstruction. The underlying cause of this is frequently a condition referred to as turbinate hypertrophy. Nose surgery is often used to correct this condition.
The turbinates are a part of our respiratory system that most people are unaware of. However, they perform a vital job. Their job involves filtering the air we breathe, warming the air we breathe and shaping the way the air enters our respiratory system. The turbinates are located in the nasal cavity. They work in pairs.
Hypertrophy is a term that describes the increase in the size of an organ or the increase in the size of a group of tissue. So, the term turbinate hypertrophy describes the enlargement of your turbinates.
Turbinate hypertrophy is relatively common. Most people will experience it at some time or another in their life. It often occurs when a person is battling allergies or a strong cold. When it happens, a person may find it difficult to breathe through one side of their nose.
In chronic cases, a sufferer is left with prolonged nasal congestion. They may also experience facial pain and pressure in their forehead.
It can be easy to confuse turbinate hypertrophy symptoms with allergy symptoms. This is especially true for individuals who have suffered from this condition for an extended period of time and have learned to tolerate their symptoms.
It is important to understand that turbinate hypertrophy is not limited to individuals suffering from allergies. If a person has an upper respiratory infection, hormone fluctuations, experiences changes in temperature or has allergic rhinitis, they may suffer from turbinate hypertrophy.
Conventional therapies include the use of medication to control turbinate hypertrophy. However, when medication does not work, nose surgery may be needed.
It can be a challenge to figure out whether or not you have turbinate hypertrophy or if you have simple allergy symptoms. It can also be a challenge to determine what steps need to be taken in order to treat your symptoms. This is one of the many reasons why it is important that you visit a qualified ENT.
During a consultation at Ayala ENT & Facial Plastic Surgery in McAllen, Dr. Ayala can examine your case and determine if nose surgery is necessary or if the condition can be fixed with a less invasive treatment method. If the decision is to perform surgery, the goal of the surgery is to reduce the size of the turbinates, thereby increasing the size of your nasal airway. There are a wide range of surgical options available.

Are you a studious pupil when it comes to eye health?
Your eyes are not just the window to your soul, they're also the doorway to good health.
Your eyes are not just the window to your soul, they’re also the doorway to good health. Not only can regular sight tests detect eye diseases or conditions in their earliest, most treatable stage, they can also pick up on a range of non-eye related conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
‘We advise most people to get their eyes checked at least every two years,’ said Trevor Rowley, owner of Viewpoint in York (01904 667000; ‘This is not just to keep an eye on vision but also to make sure we are aware of any other underlying health issues.
‘Our routine eye examinations use pioneering equipment selected to be the most advanced available. This means we can identify patients with health issues that would otherwise prove impossible to detect without our diagnostic facilities.’
As well as detecting a range of eye diseases, including cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration, routine eye examinations can also spot other serious health issues by looking at the blood vessels in the eye and the retina.
Some of the conditions that can be picked up include: high blood pressure (burst blood vessels at the back of the eye are an indication); high cholesterol (cholesterol can collect in the blood vessels of the retina, creating a small yellow blockage or a thin white line circling the iris); diabetes (too much sugar in the blood can damage blood vessels in the retina); brain tumours (swelling of the optic nerve leaves them looking larger and pale, but early diagnosis can be life-saving); and stroke (tiny clots or pieces of cholesterol moving through blood vessels in the retina highlight if a patient might have had a minor stroke and mean a major stroke could be prevented).
Viewpoint has some of the most state-of-the-art equipment in the UK, including the wavefront aberrometer, which is used to examine the front of the eye, and the optical coherent tomographer, which provides 3D images of the back of the eye with a full colour graph and other diagnostic information.

But, of course, prevention is even better than diagnosis. So what lifestyle choices should you make and what foods should you eat if you want to make a positive impact on the health of your eyes?
‘Eating healthily isn’t just about keeping your body in good shape, it can also help to keep your eyes in good condition and make people less likely to develop eye conditions such as age-related macular degeneration,’ said Chris Worsman, senior optometrist at Viewpoint.
This is a painless yet damaging condition that results in loss of central vision including reading and face recognition. It’s one of the most common causes of poor sight and is the leading cause of blindness in the over-60s. There is no cure but it can be prevented or at least delayed.Studies have shown that vitamins of the antioxidant group – vitamins A, C, E, zinc and lutein – can slow it down. All are beneficial to eye health, helping to reduce the risk of disease, and are readily available in many foods.
Eggs and leafy green vegetables like spinach, broccoli and kale are rich sources of lutein, which protects the eyes by forming pigment in the macular to filter out harmful blue light wavelengths. The more pigment your eyes contain, the less likely they are to develop AMD.
The body does not naturally generate lutein so you need to ensure the foods you eat contain it.
Carrots provide vitamin A, which helps keep the surface of the eye and eyelids healthy, and beta carotene, an antioxidant that protects the cells of your eyes from free-radical damage due to pollution and excess sun exposure.
Oily Fish contains omega-3 fats, which help lower the risk of conditions like AMD and glaucoma. Nuts and seeds contain zinc, which helps with retina function. And fruit is a great all-rounder, providing vitamins C, A and E and beta carotene.
There are also small lifestyle changes you can make that can have a significant impact on eye health. Stopping smoking can dramatically decrease your risk of macular degeneration and adopting a healthier diet can slow down the process of optical ageing diseases.
‘Taking this advice and having regular sight tests can prevent the onset of damaging eye conditions,’ said Chris. ‘Which means, of course, that you will be looking at a much brighter future.’

NADH questions, dosage etc
Discussion in 'Fibromyalgia Main Forum' started by BethM, Sep 25, 2005.
1. BethM
BethM New Member
In my search for more energy, I've read about NADH, and it's been discussed here. I have several questions:
1. For those who have used it, is it effective?
2. What is a good starting dose?
3. Does it cause herxing?
4. CoQ-10 is also supposed to help with energy levels. Does anyone know if it is better than, or just different than, NADH. Can they be used together?
5. Is one brand better than another?
I've gone back to caffeine for an energy boost, so I can stay awake driving home from work in the afternoon. I'm not sure that is such a healthy approach, even if I am using organically grown black tea. By 4:00 I need a nap, and that is when I am on the road towards home. Bad karma, to fall asleep while driving.
Thank you!

But both necessary for the manufacturing of energy made in the Mitochondria. (Krebs Cycle)
There are many nutrients necessary and must be supplied together to be effective. I cannot remember all of the components of the Krebs Cycle, but I CAN remember some of the ones that I tested to be deficient in. They were:
L-Carnitine - I took 500 mg. 3 times a day
Malic Acid - I took 500 mg. 3 times a day
CoQ10 - I took 100 mg. 3 times a day
NADH - I took 10 mg. once daily, 1 hr before any food or drink.
I recently came upon the following article which suggests that some people may not be able to manufacture enough D-Ribose. I will be adding this nutrient to my list, which includes about 30 more besides these, as soon as my pocketbook finds some cash.
CFS is Heart Failure Secondary to Mitochondrial Malfunciton 09/21/05 07:11 AM
I have been treated for years with these supplements and MANY more and not making progress. I will be adding D-Ribose to see if this will make a difference. This entire website is fascinating, Enjoy.
CFS is Heart Failure Secondary to Mitochondrial Malfunction
Thanks to work by Dr Arnold Peckerman we now know that cardiac output in CFS patients is impaired. Furthermore the level of impairment correlates very closely to the level of disability in patients. Dr Peckerman was asked by the US National Institutes of Health to develop a test for CFS in order to help them to judge the level of disability in patients claiming Social Security patients. Peckerman is a cardiologist and on the basis that CFS presents with low blood pressure, low blood volume and perfusion defects, he surmised CFS patients were in heart failure To test this he came up with Q scores.
?Q? stands for cardiac output in litres per minute and this can be measured using a totally non-invasive method called Impedence Cardiography. This allows one to accurately measure cardiac output by measuring the electrical impedence across the chest wall. The greater the blood flow the less the impedance. This can be adjusted according to chest and body size to produce a reliable measurement (this is done using a standard algorithm). It is important to do this test in the upright position and again when supine. This is because cardiac output in normal people will vary from 7 litres per min to 5 litres per min between standing and supine. In healthy people this drop is not enough to affect function. But in CFS sufferers the drop may be from 5 litres lying down to 3.5 litres standing up. At this level the sufferer has a cardiac output which causes borderline organ failure.
This means we have a test for CFS i.e. measurement of cardiac output whilst standing and sitting using the Impedence Cardiograph. This test has already been proven in the assessment of disability in CFS ? the Q score is an extremely accurate prediction of disability. This is going to be incredibly helpful for sufferers claiming benefits, insurance claims or early retirement. Here is a test which does not rely on belief. It is a completely independent and reliable test of disability. However what this test does not do is tell you why there is disability (i.e. post exertional fatigue). This explains the symptoms of CFS The job of the heart is to maintain blood pressure. If the blood pressure falls, organs start to fail. If the heart is working inadequately as a pump then the only way blood pressure can be sustained is by shutting down blood supply to organs. Organs are shut down in terms of priority, i.e. the skin first, then muscles, followed by liver, gut, brain and finally the heart, lung and kidney. As these organ systems shut down, this creates further problems for the body in terms of toxic overload, susceptibility to viruses which damage mitochondria further, thus exacerbating all the problems of the CFS sufferer.
The second problem is that if the micro-circulation in the skin is shut down, then the body cannot sweat. This is a major way through which toxins, particularly heavy metals, pesticides and volatile organic compounds are excreted. Therefore the CFS sufferer?s body is much better at accumulating toxins, which of course further damage mitochondria.
4. Effects on the Brain Last October I attended a conference sponsored by the late Dr John Richardson. A Canadian physician Byron Hyde showed us some functional scans of the brains of CFS patients. If I had not known the diagnosis, I would have diagnosed strokes. This is because the blood supply to some area of the brain was so impaired. The default is temporary and with rest, blood supply recovers. However, this explains the multiplicity of brain symptoms suffered from, such as poor short term memory, difficulty multi-tasking, slow mental processing and so on. Furthermore brain cells are not particularly well stocked with mitochondria and therefore they run out of energy very quickly.
THIS APPROACH TO TREATING HEART DISEASE IS EXACTLY THE SAME REGARDLESS OF THE CONVENTIONAL DIAGNOSIS. So patients with angina, high blood pressure, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, some valve defects as well as patients with cardiac dysrhythmias also have mitochondrial problems and will respond in the same way to nutritional therapies and detox therapies.
Explanation of the Fatigue Problems in CFS Patients. Energy to the body is supplied by mitochondria, which produce NAD (nicotinamide adenosine diphosphate) and ATP (adenosine triphosphate). These molecules are the ?currency? of energy in the body. Almost all energy requiring processes in the body have to be ?paid for? with NAD and ATP, but largely ATP. The reserves of ATP in cells are very small. At any one moment in heart muscle cells there is only enough ATP to last about ten contractions. Thus the mitochondria have to be extremely good at re-cycling ATP to keep the cell constantly supplied with energy.
If the cell is not very efficient at re-cycling ATP, then the cell runs out of energy very quickly and this causes the symptoms of weakness and poor stamina. The cell literally has to ?hibernate? and wait until more ATP has been manufactured.
So to summarise, the basic pathology in CFS is slow re-cycling of ATP to ADP and back to ATP again. If patients push themselves and make more energy demands, then ADP is converted to AMP which cannot be recycled and it is this which is responsible for the delayed fatigue. This is because it takes the body several days to make fresh ATP from new ingredients. When patients overdo things and ?hit a brick wall? this is because they have no ATP or ADP to function at all.
Implications for Treatment The vast majority of patients I see get well with my standard work up with respect to vitamins and minerals, diet, pacing, sleep, B12, magnesium, detoxing, etc, etc. All these things must be put in place to repair and prevent ongoing damage to mitochondria so allowing them to recover. For mitochondria to recover they need all the essential vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and amino acids to manufacture the cellular machinery to restore normal function.
However, despite doing that, I am still left with a hard core of patients that I still struggle with. This is where direct micronutrient support for mitochondria may prove to be an extremely useful intervention. I have learned what to do through reading a book ?The Sinatra Solution? produced by an American metabolic cardiologist, Dr Stephen Sinatra, who has used these techniques for treating patients with heart disease such as congestive cardiac failure, angina, arrhythmias and so on. Sinatra worked initially using entirely conventional techniques ? drugs, pacemakers, surgery or whatever. However, he realised that cardiac disease was not all about poor blood supply to the heart. For many the problem was heart muscle disease due to mitochondrial failure. Once he tackled this aspect, patients made dramatic recoveries, were able to come off medication, avoid surgery and return to their normal jobs and sporting activities.To understand his ideas, you need to understand a little bit about how mitochondria work.
How Mitochondria Actually Work The job of mitochondria is to get the energy contained inside foods (ie sugars and fats) and convert it into a form the body can use, i.e. NAD and ATP. This requires a series of reactions (Kreb?s citric acid cycle for the chemists in the audience!). This process is called oxidative phosphorylation and chemically speaking needs electrons to move about from one molecule to another changing their chemical make up as they go. These reactions require enzymes, which are made up of many different vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids. However one of the most important electron handlers is Co Enzyme Q 10.
Once ATP has been made, it then has to be delivered to where it is needed, ie out of the mitochondria, through its membrane. This it does with a shunting reaction. ATP is made inside mitochondria from ADP and has to be shunted across the mitochondrial membrane so the cell can use the energy in the ATP by converting it back to ADP. ADP then needs to be shunted back across the cell membrane. This shunting reaction involves acetyl L-carnitine, which effectively shunts energy in the form of ATP from inside mitochondria, through the mitochondrial cell membrane into the cell, where it gives up its energy and converts to ADP. L-carnitine then shunts ADP back through the mitochondrial membrane, where it is reformed into ATP. Obviously, if this shunting reaction does not run smoothly, energy supply will be impaired.
All the molecules involved here are re-cycled. There is another essential element which is magnesium. If you think of glucose and short chain fatty acids as the fuel of the engine, acetyl L-carnitine and Co-enzyme Q10 are the oil and magnesium is the spark plug!
In order to make new ATP, one needs a sugar, namely D-ribose. Normally the body can manufacture this for itself from glucose, but if energy levels are very low, then it may be unable to synthesise this essential sugar. So when the CFS sufferers push themselves too much, ADP is converted into AMP, which they cannot recycle. It normally takes a few days to make new ATP from D-ribose, but the CFS sufferers may be unable to make D-ribose.
In order to make new NAD one needs vitamin B3.
Implications for Treatment - details If the body is functioning normally and has access to all essential minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids and amino acids, it can make all these essential ingredients, in particular co-enzyme Q 10, acetyl L-carnitine and D-ribose. Magnesium must be supplied. This explains why most patients get well on my standard work up of treatment because this supplies all the essential ingredients for the body to heal itself.
However, for those who do not get well, it is likely that there is some sort of metabolic defect which prevents them from manufacturing these essential ingredients. I call this metabolic dyslexia! It may well be that genetically poor mitochondrial function alone is the problem, or there may be toxins or pesticides stuck in the system which stop the mitochondria functioning properly. It may well be that once the patient has dropped below a certain critical level, all cellular processes are going so slow that the sufferer is unable to manufacture the very things required to restore health. With age, our metabolism becomes less efficient anyway and we may need more raw materials in order to maintain the status quo.
Either way there is a cocktail of micronutrients that could be taken to kick start the system. This cocktail is already of tried and tested value. It has been used in America by many metabolic cardiologists to treat cardiomyopathies, ischaemic heart disease, dysrhythmias, congestive cardiac failures, high blood pressures and anginas with great success. Not only have patients felt better, but they have come off all their medication and avoided life threatening interventions such as cardiac transplants, arterial surgery, pacemakers and so on.
I have yet to try any patients on this cocktail of supplements, so I am looking for guinea pigs. Dr Sinatra has developed several schemes for age management, high blood pressure, arrhythmias, mitral valve prolapse, congestive cardiac failure, syndrome X, for professional and world class athletes, but also for fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and mitochondrial cytopathies. He recommends the following daily cocktail for CFS:
Co-enzyme Q 10 300 ? 360mg (the oil of the engine ? moves electrons from one molecule to another) L-carnitine 2,000 ? 3,000mg (the oil of the engine ? moves ATP and ADP across mito membranes) D-ribose 15grams (raw material to make new ATP) Magnesium 400 ? 800mg (the spark plugs ? fires up many enzyme reactions)
To this I would also add niacinamide 500mgs daily (the raw material to make NAD). I would expect this cocktail of supplements to work best taken together, not as individual supplements.
Reference: The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology Stephen T Sinatra Available from Amazon Incidentally this helps explain why some CFS sufferers have such problems with drug medication and indeed this may help to point towards treatment. All my CFS patients feel much worse on statins because these stop the body from making its own Co Q 10. Beta blockers, tricyclic antidepressants and phenothiazines also block Co Q 10 synthesis.
Practical Details There is no point taking this cocktail until you have done my standard work up to treating CFS. This is because normally the body is perfectly capable of making its own Coenzyme Q 10 and its own D-ribose so long as it has all the vitamins, minerals, EFAs and amino acids to do so. Vitamin B3 and magnesium comes from supplements and acetyl L-carnitine from red meat.
The supplements in the Sinatra protocol are expensive, so for those who would like to try it I suggest:
Measure levels of Co Q 10 to show there is a deficiency. Phone the office to order a kit, cost ?28 (5mls blood red speckled top tube).
Measure NAD levels. Phone office to order a kit, cost ?28. (Green top lithium heparin tube)
Measure red cell magnesium. Phone office to order a kit. Cost ?17. (Green topped lithium heparin tube)
Eat red meat daily for acetyl L carnitine. Vegetarians will have to take the supplement. If you have poor digestion then you may need to supplement with L carnitine anyway
D-ribose ? I have found a reasonably priced source and can dispense 500gms for ?23.
If You Are Found To Be Deficient Co-enzyme Q 10. This must be in a hydrosoluble or oil form or it is not well absorbed. Co Q 10 is fairly widely available ? Lamberts 01892 554 312 do a preparation of 100mgs Co Q 10.
L-carnitine ? this is an amino acid with highest levels in meat. This may explain why vegetarians are at risk of CFS. It also partly explains why my CFS patients do best on high protein diets. Lamberts 01892 554 312 supply L carnitine. Eat red meat (the word carnitine comes from carne ? meat).
D-ribose ? needs to be taken throughout the day.
Niacinamide 500mgs available from Solgar 01782 634 744
Magnesium in Myhill?s Magic Minerals (or other such mineral supplement). But if there is a severe deficiency, then magnesium by injection may be required.
How long before you see improvement? Not sure at the moment. However, heart transplant patients whose cardiac output is improved overnight can take up to a year before they start to feel fully well again. However, I would expect sufferers to see improvements after a few weeks of supplements
What is important is that these interventions are done in combination with all my other recommendations with respect to diet, micronutrients, pacing, sleep, detoxing, etc. Firstly get the regime tight, then start to feel better and then start to increase activity.

excellent article, which I will read more thoroughly tomorrow when I am not so tired and can focus on it.
I have fibro, not CFS, but I suspect the info still applies.
thank you,

Straits Times Article Slammed As Biased By Netizen
When The Straits Times published an article by its Senior Transport Correspondent Christopher Tan last Saturday (June 10), on private-hire car services Uber and Grab, many netizens were perplexed at the lack of balance in the piece.
Touted in the standfirst as “How Uber and Grab sustain themselves is among a list of mysteries that remains unsolved”, it proceeded to list down 10 “mysteries” of such services that have become an essential part of Singapore’s transport landscape in just a short time.
The article’s whole conception and wording was curious: To many Singaporeans, there is no mystery about Uber or Grab — they are providing a very important service to commuters who have lost confidence in Singapore’s public transport system and an alternative to the high expense of getting a car. Read our story about Millennials preferring private-hire car services.
The piece was a tad overdramatic from the very beginning:
It has been four years since private-hire operators Uber and Grab landed here, but there are still many unknowables about the two high-profile and yet secretive organisations, the people who drive for them and even their customers.
“High-profile and yet secretive organisations”? “Unknowables” about the drivers and customers?
Erm, is Mr Tan comparing Uber and Grab to the freemasons or some other cult-like organisation that inducts members via secret robe-wearing ceremonies?
Questioning Investors
Mr Tan then goes on to question private-hire car companies’ business model — they are starting to behave like taxi operators and buying up fleets of vehicles, despite starting out as a matching service between commuters and private car drivers who are willing to be hired.
He then questions why investors are putting in so much money into these companies when they are starting to become asset-heavy, will give zero returns in 6 years and are supposedly losing money.
At this point, the article starts sounding like it’s been sponsored by taxi companies, the direct competitors of private-hire companies, to plant seeds of doubts in the minds of investors and customers of Uber and Grab.
That wasn’t lost on some netizens:
We all know ST doesn’t do sponsored articles, so why is this article starting to sound like one?
Questioning Drivers
After questioning the investors, Mr Tan takes aim at the drivers who let their cars and driving skills be hired.
A car is private transport, which means you don’t have to share with the public. Otherwise, it’s called public transport. So, why are tens of thousands in Singapore allowing strangers into their cars?
Well let’s see, not everybody is smart or fortunate enough to be paid well to write about transport matters for our national newspaper, so they have to make money through other means.
Driving a taxi is one, but they might have to pay crippling rental fees to the taxi companies — so if you happen to already own a car, why not work as an Uber driver, where you have the flexibility of time and freedom of a taxi driver but not have to pay the rental for a taxi?
And Mr Tan already answers part of his own question by saying that some folks who might not be able to afford a car can use the money earned from driving for Uber to pay the monthly instalments on a car.
He then compares private-hire car services to Airbnb, and asks why anyone would do it — well, why not?
Saying that Uber, Grab and Airbnb aren’t “sharing”, but commercial transactions, and then comparing GrabShare, GrabHitch or UberPool to carpooling, Mr Tan then questions why they are able to get away with what they are doing.
We don’t know, but perhaps it’s because even though they might be affecting the businesses of fat cats at the helm of taxi companies, they are actually popular with the public because they serve their needs — which is exactly what public transportation is supposed to do, serve the public. However, our taxi-based public transport hasn’t been able to do that for awhile, and it was inevitable that a better service would come along to take their places.
Questioning Commuters
Mr Tan’s next target are the commuters — why do they like to engage private-hire car services so much?
Because they could never get a cab? Statistically, the chances of getting a taxi in Singapore by phone booking are close to 100 per cent if you book with bigger operators. Chances are, of course, slimmer if it is raining, but that is to be expected.
Ah yes, here comes the plug for the “bigger” taxi companies. He’s not doing himself any favours amid that allegation of being paid by ComfortDelGro.
And perhaps someone who drives a car to work at a building where he’s paid to write about transport shouldn’t make a throwaway remark that it “is to be expected” when people can’t find cabs when it’s raining.
He attributes the public’s love for private-hire cars, despite their “unpredictability”, to the sometimes lower prices and freebies:
But perhaps it all boils down to dollars and cents. We’re Singaporeans after all. Uber and Grab fares are at times lower than regular cab fares.
… Freebies, that’s why. Free rides and discounts are dished out regularly.
Yes, prices are a factor and freebies are a good marketing ploy dished out by the companies as well.
But according to a survey of Millennials that MustShareNews conducted, they also prefer private-hire car services due to service — with many saying Uber and Grab drivers are friendlier and more service-oriented.
However, that’s something about the experience that taxi companies seem unwilling to address, and Mr Tan does not mention either.
Questioning Surge Pricing
Well, having conjectured that price is the reason why people love taking Uber and Grab so much, he then casts a disapproving eye over their use of surge pricing.
Surge pricing jacks up fares when demand is high, so only the “highest bidders” – those who are willing and able to pay the escalated prices – get the ride. It is in practice fare auctioning, which until very recently, was not allowed in Singapore.
It is different from surcharges applied by cab companies, which are spelt out and therefore transparent.
Well, guess what, obviously the taxi companies don’t have an issue with it, at least not any more, as they are also rolling out surge pricing!
Some netizens weren’t complimentary about the tone of this article, calling it biased.
While Mr Tan did manage to garner some support:
We’re also confused as to why an article that’s clearly slanted against private-hire car services could make it past the editors.
Satire Gone Wrong?
Note that Mr Tan’s article was not published in the main Home section of The Straits Times, but in the Lifestyle-Motoring section.
Was it meant to be a light-hearted, satirical piece gone wrong?
As it had a curious lack of balance, was it meant to be an opinionated commentary akin to how ST writer John Lui doesn’t like to be called “dude”?
If so, like the aforementioned “dude” story, it backfired and only caused revulsion.
Perhaps Mr Tan should just stick to writing serious news stories?

5 Great Ways To Earn Money Online
You are not alone if you are searching for ways to earn money online. Lucky for you, there are many different things you can do to earn cash on the internet. If you continue to read on, you’ll learn about five ways to earn money online.
1. Writing
You can put your writing skills to work. Join content creation services and start writing articles virtually right away. You can create a small website and market your writing services on your own. Another way to go about making money writing online is finding freelance/contract writing jobs via popular job websites such as Monster and Indeed to name a few.
2. eBooks
Write an eBook or pay someone (such as a content creation service) to create an eBook for you. If you want to make serious money, then research popular niches and create at least 4-5 eBooks, with one being in a different niche. Once your eBooks are created, join an affiliate marketplace and let others do the selling for you. When your affiliates make a sale, they make money and you make money too.
3. Buy & Sell Items
Buying and selling items is one of the oldest ways to earn money online. You can go to shops and find items on sale and then resell them on Amazon, eBay or other marketplaces. Use apps to assist you when you’re looking for potential items to buy and sell. For example, Amazon’s seller app can help aid you in choosing products that will likely sell.
4. Personalized Items
Find on-demand print companies and create an account with them (an affiliate account). Once your account is setup, you just have to get customers, which you can do by advertising on social media sites. For example, if the on-demand print company deals with personalized t-shirts, then you can think of a catchy slogan or design and market it to people on social media via Facebook ads, Twitters ads etc. . . and then direct people to your profile page. Once there, they can place an order and you’ll make a commission.
5. Trading
You can earn money online by trading, but be warned this is a very risky way to try to do it. You are not guaranteed to earn money. That being said, you can trade cryptocurrency, Forex, and stocks. Download a few apps to help you make potential good trades and follow investment advice blogs and websites. The more information you have, the more likely you’ll make winning trades.
Those are five ways to earn money online. Each way does require work and a tremendous amount of effort. If you work hard and you’re persistent, then you’ll be earning money online in no time.
Stay Abreast Of The Latest SEO Technologies
Your website always used to appear at the top of the search engine result pages (SERP) whenever anybody searched for keywords or key phrases specific to products and services offered by you. However, the ranking of your site seems to be slowly declining. At this pace, it shall not be long before people will not find your online store. You need to take drastic and immediate action to prevent this downfall. Search engine optimization has changed drastically over the years. Previously, the maximum number of searches originated from people using desktops or laptops. Nowadays, smartphones dominate nearly 75% of the online browsing community. If your website is not mobile friendly, you can be sure that those potential clients will not visit your online portal. Therefore, you need to adopt responsive design technology for your pages.
Responsive design
This technology uses a combination of HTML and CSS for creating the web page. In such a scenario, when the browser connects to a website, it includes a user agent field in its HTTP header. This informs the server about the browser as well as the device used to connect to it. The server then responds by sending a page created specifically for that browser and device. Professional SEO agencies lay a lot of stress on this aspect to make web pages user-friendly. This allows the user of the website to promote his services and products successfully. However, simply optimizing a website is not enough to be a successful digital marketer. You have to understand the pulse of the market and use special techniques that your competitors use to stay ahead of them and make a success of your online venture.
Links and kinks
Ensure that all the links of your website are working properly. Nothing infuriates an individual more than clicking on a link and finding that it leads to nowhere. Therefore, check your entire website’s links offline before launching it. You should also ensure that you include links pointing to the index page of your website on its other pages. No doubt, you can entrust the job to a professional SEO agency. However, they will only optimize your website, but not teach you about online marketing. This is where OMG Machines makes its presence felt.
Search online for OMG Machines review. You will come across many sites that provide details about this marketing course. However, quite a few of them contain negative reviews. The course is quite costly. However, it allows you to attend webinars addressed by the leading marketers of the world. You will receive on hand coaching from the gurus including the three-part SEO domination process: supremacy, domination, and control. You also receive training on monetizing your website along with a secret software that helps your website to stay miles ahead of your competitors.
Easy Ways To Make Money On The Internet
How to really make money on the Internet may at first seem a pipe dream; however, it can be done. There are several ways to make it happen such as Google AdSense.
Google ads appear on many websites. They are easy to set up and they can bring in steady traffic. You can sign up for a free Google AdSense Account if you have a blog or website. Google will give you a special code that you put on your website. Google will then track your page views, traffic, and earnings. You don’t have to worry about maintenance or upkeep.
Another way to make money online is through affiliate marketing. When you practice affiliate marketing, you partner with brands and businesses within the content of your website. If you mention a product or service, you link to that product or service by using a unique affiliate code. This is done when you sign up for that affiliate program. It is important to partner with affiliates that are related to your blog specialty.
Or, you can make money online by consulting. If you have expert knowledge in any field, you could possibly find others willing to pay you so that you can counsel them on their business or personal goals.
In addition, if you have any skills that you can teach others, you may be able to set up an online course; one you could market online. There are many courses that teach cooking, marketing, languages or professional writing.
Hosting an online podcast is another way to make money online. To make a success with podcasting, find your niche, grow an audience and then find ways to monetize and connect with sponsors.
Selling books is still another way to make money online. You can engage in the entire process of writing a book with a website like Create Space. At this site you can upload and take your book to print; all without getting a publisher involved. In addition, you can also put your book on Amazon.com.
Collecting leads is another way to make money online. To make this work you need to set up a website, get traffic to that website and make sure you’re collecting leads that someone will pay for. Keep in mind; lead buyers will pay for personal information they receive from people who visit a website that collects leads.
The benefits of working online are many; for one thing you don’t have to be interviewed, you can work flexible days and hours, you have more control over expenses, there is no dress code, you have a chance to learn something new every day, there is a chance for a rapid increase in income and you will probably have fewer health problems.
Certainly, there would be less stress dealing with co-workers and managers and fewer chances of infections or catching the flu or a cold.
To conclude, how to really make money on the Internet can be done in various ways. Follow the above tips and make money!

This will be a short post. FlipTitle.com is a one trick pony--a single page website that does one thing--¡u?op ?pisdn ?i su?n? pu? ?x?? l???ou ?no? s???? If you know a practical use, keep it to yourself, please.
I took a look at FlipTitle's page source and found the conversion is actually done with a little javascript. Standard text is swapped for inverted lower case Unicode characters reading right to left. Conveniently enough Unicode supports all sorts of unusual characters discretely including these p?????ui ones. Here's a page that shows the specifics for an upside down "m"--the "?."

Red Bull boss on Pirelli tyres: 'F1 nothing to do with racing any more'
Red Bull staff work on Sebastian Vettel's car at a pit stop in the Spanish Grand Prix
Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz has criticised the state of Formula 1, saying it is "nothing to do with racing any more".
"Everyone knows what happens here," Mateschitz told Austrian journalists.
"Under the circumstances, we can neither get the best out of our car nor our drivers."
Mateschitz, a man of great influence in F1 who runs two teams in Red Bull and Toro Rosso, said: "This is a competition in tyre management. Real racing looks different."
He met the sport's commercial boss Bernie Ecclestone after Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix, in which Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel came fourth, but did not reveal what they discussed.
He added: "There is no more real qualifying and fighting for the pole, as everyone is just saving tyres for the race.
"If we would make the best of our car we would have to stop eight or 10 times during a race, depending on the track."
Pirelli entered F1 in 2011 with the mandate to produce more exciting racing by increasing the number of pit stops, but Mateschitz said they had gone too far.
"Yes, it was the target to get more excitement into the races by more stops for tyre changes, but not that much," he said.
"This is now a different situation from the original intention."
After five races, Vettel is leading the championship by four points from Lotus's Kimi Raikkonen.
The Finn was second in Spain behind Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, who is third in the championship, 17 points behind Vettel.
Both Vettel and Alonso have won twice this year and Raikkonen once.
Vettel said after Sunday's race: "We're not going the pace of the car, we're going the pace of the tyres and obviously we do something to make the tyres wear more."
Raikkonen, whose Lotus car is regarded as one of the best at looking after its tyres, said: "I don't really think it's any different to last year.
"Obviously I wasn't there the year before (2011) but they had a lot of pit stops (then) also. So that's the way it is and it's the same for everybody."
Pirelli motorsport boss Paul Hembery admitted after the race in Spain that four pit stops, the number Alonso made on his way to victory, was too many.

Spanish Grand Prix Highlights
He said the company would this week consider whether to change their approach - either by making more conservative choices, or changing the tyres' design - from the British Grand Prix at the end of next month.
Asked about the prospect of the tyres changing, Lotus team principal Eric Boullier said: "In some ways it's not fair but we have to deal with it. Everyone has the same tyres."
He added: "There was a slight change here that was supposed to please the most complaining team."
That is a reference to Pirelli's decision to make a more durable version of the 'hard' tyre than it had used in the first four races.
The tyre made its debut in Spain and was the preferred choice in the race for most teams, including Red Bull and Ferrari.
Hembery said: "We're only doing what we're being asked to do. We were asked to replicate Canada (2010).
"Some of you - some of you - would like us to do a one-stop where the tyres aren't a factor. You can go back to processional racing where the qualifying positions are the end positions."
He added: "It's rather bizarre. We're only doing what we've done for the last two years and we don't understand why you're so excited.

Article in Iranian Press Calls for Obama to Blame Netanyahu and Israel for 9/11
Steve Cooper
As far as I know, nobody has investigated the 9/11 Truther movement as deeply as I have over the past 7 years. My archives were damaged, but I will do the best I can to briefly recap this complicated conspiracy.
The 9/11 Truther movement blames George Bush and Israel for the 9/11 attacks of 2001 for many deceptive purposes. These Truthers are propagandists that are aiding Communists and Muslims that were really behind the 9/11 attacks.
The Iranians know that Obama is really a hard core leftist that despises Israel and they want to stir the pot. The Communists and the Muslims united on 9/11, because they wanted to kick off the final assault against Capitalism.
George Bush refused to abandon Capitalism and the wars began. Obama has agreed to suppress Capitalism and this is why wars are allowed to end under his Administration. Obama is in bed with the enemy…that is why they handed him Bin Laden’s head on a silver platter.
In the summer of 2001, George Bush announced in Europe that he was seeking to add former Soviet Republics Georgia and the Ukraine to NATO. This news infuriated the Kremlin and 9/11 happened several months later.
Pravda, the Russian state run media organization did an article in July 2001 warning Russians to abandon all American investments due to an attack that was coming at the heart of it’s financial center by ‘Shadow Forces’. That heart was the WTC.
• Many Truthers are Leftists, Muslims and Libertarians; it is no coincidence that they blamed George Bush to protect the Communist link to the attacks (Russia and China) via Iran.
• One question: Why go through the trouble of hijacking planes to fly them into buildings that are wired to implode anyway?
• Leftists always blame the opposition for something that has their fingerprints on it.
• The leader of Hezbollah escorted the 9/11 hijackers to Afghanistan via Iran. Hezbollah is an Iranian backed terrorist organization
• 9/11 Truthers hide under many different labels. I have seen them call themselves Libertarians, Constitutionalists, Socialists, Ron Paul followers, Anarchists and Leftists.
• Leftists claim that Israel conspired 9/11 so the USA could wage wars against Muslim nations, but they seem to forget that Iran and Iraq were a threat to the Saudi’s as well.
• Former KGB Agent Alexander Litvinenko was allegedly poisoned by the Kremlin while he was living in London. Litvinenko warned that Russia was fighting the USA with an “invisible hand” before his death. The former KGB Agent also claimed that Al Qaeda’s new #1 man Ayman Zawahiri was trained by the Russian FSB in the late 90’s.
Radical American Leftists understand the importance of using Muslim terrorists as a proxy to bankrupt the USA. It is working like a charm.

ZeHabesha Ethiopian News | Latest News for All | 24/7
‘Several killed’ as Ethiopia police clash with protesters | BBC
(BBC) Several people are feared dead in clashes in north-western Ethiopia between police and anti-government protesters, amid a wave of unrest.
On Friday police arrested dozens of demonstrators during massive rallies in the capital, Addis Ababa.
The government has been facing protests from the two largest ethnic communities over alleged human rights abuses and other issues.
Authorities have banned demonstrations and blocked social media.
Despite the ban, people took to the streets in several parts of the country for a third consecutive day on Sunday, Emmanuel Igunza reports from Addis Ababa.
The worst violence took place in the north-western city of Bahir Dar in the Amhara region – the homeland of the Amhara people.
Police used tear gas and fired in the air to disperse thousands of people who had blocked roads and chanted anti-government slogans.
Unconfirmed reports say several people were killed. One resident told the BBC he had seen a friend being shot in the head by security forces.

Overnight protests continued in the Oromia region, which surrounds Addis Ababa, with police arresting dozens of people.
Oromo activists say police have killed hundreds and arrested thousands of people from their community in recent months.
2. You don’t get tired of lies! You have lied so much, you can’t even tell the difference between lie and truth. If it is your will to die for a lie, it is your choice. The people will always win.
3. Whoever wrote this rubbish has not intended to help any one, his side or the other side.
It is better ignored.
Justice for all.
4. Debay Million,
I can see a point in your bla…bla… but I can not share it because you are not genuine. First of all you denayed the bold truth: TPLF is busy with destroying Ethiopia and looting its economies/resources. It has never had Ethiopian vision. It has covered itself with fake development oratories.
Like USA with Iraq, TPLF has effectively destroyed/disintegrated Ethiopia. If USA, had to stay in Iraq, it would have been a visible colonization. Same is true with TPLF because it is a traitor working for aliens and for the annul of Ethiopia.
Thus, the traitor TPLF has to be uprooted from Ethiopia like the invader USA from Iraq.
5. In the dictionary of weyane development means robing the resource of amara, oromo, gambella and so on.The supporter of tplf should understand that no body didn’t go and want also go to the country of tigray. Whether u like it or not the people are struggling to stop ur merdering and robing.
6. The chicken-head Tigraway is making his mindset readable boldly to the world. Do you think that you qualify at all to lead a great nation like Ethiopia with such mindset. You are known not to be a good family person when it comes to leadership. You are the looter, who in a broad daylight loot things ranging from cassettes (tapes) to plots of land, Part of a provinces. You are savage that you use 10th century tricks in the 21st century to fool around the world to no avail. TPLF is a mafia which serves only very few and has never represented the people of Tigray. Similar unrest are underway in Mekelle and I am wondering how you will explain that. Pack up and go and get ready to have your lawyers for the inevitable trial you will be faced with wherever you go.
Believe me your unceremonious funeral will soon be effected and on your tomb the great nation of Ethiopia will strengthen further its foundation.
Balcha Abanefso Meysaw Kassa
7. Who is looter?everyone will respond with same tune,it is the woyanes who robbed the country.Never in the history of governments has there been the ruling high officials directly involve inpaying customs duty and taxes in an organized manner.Litrally tplf officials do not have the moral authority to govern.
They are billioners,who steal government project money and yet declare as building the country from scratch.This cosmotic developmen,like the 35km railroad and the never ending GERD ,is a pretext to draw public attention(mere hope) and public resource(corruption).
The people from rural areas can tell the extent of corruption that has been done for the last 25 years and chunk of corruption is done by tplf officials who are immuned from being accountabl.
We know that no woyane official has been out of government role,while oromos and amharas in EPRDF were been in high turnover rate.
8. Dictators never admit there fault until some body chase you out by guns. you should learn from Gaddafi from Libya leader or others . You need to open your eye and see who is the real looters you the minority TPLF leaders and your followers or the majority of Ethiopian who have nothing . Justice we be served soon . It is already started people are starting to stand up for there right. You better run or washed by the flood.

Frankincense A plant-derived treasures, along with myrrh, given to the newborn Jesus in the New Testament. Its use in a religious context goes beyond Christianity, however. According to the Hebrew Bible, frankincense and myrrh were components of the holy incense ritually burned in Jerusalem’s sacred temples during ancient times.
1. Heal wounds from cuts, scrapes, and burns. For even greater benefit, apply Lavender essential oil first then layer Frankincense on top. The combination of these two oils together is amazing when it comes to healing wounds.
2. Reduce and fade scars. Continue use after the wound has healed to reduce and fade scarring.
3. Relieve the symptoms of gout. Mixed 50/50 with a carrier oil, Frankincense has been known to relieve the painful symptoms of gout.
4. Strong immune system. The antiseptic properties of Frankincense make it ideal for supporting a strong immune system. Massage a few drops into the balls of your feet every day. In addition, try diffusing it throughout your home and especially in the bedroom at night. This is especially good during cold and flu season.
5. Stress and anxiety management. Apply a drop at the temples to relieve stress and evoke a feeling of calmness. You can also rub a few drops mixed in a carrier oil on the back of the neck when you feel anxious. Something else you can do is simply inhale the aroma of the oil by rubbing a drop or two between the palms of your hands then bringing them up to your nose and taking a deep breath.
6. Mitigate depression and feelings of helplessness. Apply a few drops to the back of the neck and especially around the brain stem two or more times daily.
7. Anti-aging. None of us likes to look old. Dabbing Frankincense on fine lines and wrinkles will make them less noticeable. A 50/50 blend with a carrier oil (fractionated coconut oil, sweet almond oil) in a glass roller ball is recommended. You can also add a drop of Frank to your daily moisturizer.
8. Replacement for NSAIDS/Advil. Frankincense is a powerful anti-Inflammatory and can be used to relieve conditions where pain and inflammation are present.
9. Colds and congestion. Put up to six drops in a sink or bowl filled with very hot water then bend over the sink with a towel draped over your head to contain the steam. Breathe in the vapors for at least five minutes, adding more hot water as needed.
10. Relieve itching. A single drop applied to the affected area will bring immediate relief.
11. Relieve arthritis pain and swelling. Mix with a carrier (such a Simple Salve or DIY healing salve) and rub into aching joints at night before bed and throughout the day,
12. Clear up cystic acne. Dab one drop on stubborn spots of cystic acne morning and night. This treatment should clear things up in just two or three applications!
13. Relaxation. Add 5 or 6 drops to a diffuser and breath in the oil to open the senses and create a calming atmosphere. Perfect for quiet meditation.
14. Remove moles, skin tags, and warts. Apply a single drop 3 or 4 times a day until gone. Note that if the mole is dark and ragged around the edges and/or growing quickly, see your healthcare professional for an assessment and possible treatment.
15. Reduce swelling from insect bites. A single drop dabbed on an insect bite will reduce the swelling and stop the itching.
16. Enhance vision. Studies have indicated that Frankincense will improve vision and possibly eliminate the need for reading glasses. Using Frankincense along with optical bone under my eye may halt the progression of glaucoma. Please take care not to get any oil in the eye itself. In this case, less is more.
17. Remove musty odors. Place a couple of drops in a small dish of water and the room will take on a much fresher smell.
18. Restless leg syndrome. Apply 2 drops Frankincense with carrier oil to the bottom of each foot and massage each night to relieve restless leg syndrome.
19. Oral Health: Useful as preventative measure against oral health problems such as bad breath, toothaches, cavities, canker sores, and other infections. Try mixing with baking soda and coconut oil to make your own toothpaste.
20. Promote sleep and prevent insomnia. Diffuse frankincense at bedtime to help you slow down your breathing and relieve nervous tension and anxiety.
21. Boost the healing power of homemade remedies and beauty products. Add a few drops of Frankincense to DIY salves, lip balms, and roller balls. It boosts the power of everything else!
22. Enhance the efficacy of other essential oils. Layer Frankincense over other essential oil to enhance that oil’s properties and drive the oils deeper into the cells. This layering will deliver amazing results for those times when you need to kick it up a notch.

It is tempting to believe that technology will save the day when it comes to environmental and wildlife conservation crises. The recent success story of a lion cub, Simba, born at Singapore zoo as a result of artificial insemination, is a case in point.
It was widely reported as a success for wildlife conservation. But presenting accounts of technological success against the backdrop of rapidly diminishing wildlife loss could do more harm than good.
The psychologist Robert Gifford called this "technosalvation" in his 2008 study of psychological barriers. Gifford outlines the psychological and cognitive barriers (what he calls "Dragons of Inaction") that impede human behaviour in response to challenges like climate change.
The argument is simple. While technology has improved our standards of living, overconfidence in its ability to solve complex environmental problems becomes a psychological barrier for human behaviour change. The philosophy that "we don't need to do anything to save the planet because technology will do it for us" is attractive because it absolves us of responsibility. In other words, it's a quick fix.
Gifford was writing about human inaction with respect to climate change but I believe technosalvation is also having an effect on conservation.
When Simba the lion cub was born in October 2020 - as a result of artificial insemination - his 20-year-old father, Mufasa, didn't survive the electro-ejaculation procedure required to extract his semen.
Simba wasn't the first lion cub bred this way. The world first occurred in September 2018, at Ukutula Conservation Center, in South Africa, with the arrival of Victor and Isabel to similar worldwide press fanfare.
There are scientific and moral arguments for and against this procedure in lions. Lions breed easily in the wild and captivity, when given the opportunity. So why do we need more of them?
Willi Jacobs, owner of Ukutula, responded to a "misunderstanding" on the part of the public about the value of such technological advances. He claimed that their aim was not to increase lion numbers, but to offer a conservational tool to increase numbers of other more endangered cat populations, such as the Scottish wildcat, the Asiatic golden cat and the black-footed cat.
It is difficult to argue against the usefulness of having this particular tool in the conservation toolbox. But what is concerning is that these stories of technological wizardry are reported, or inferred, as success stories for wildlife conservation. And wildlife conservation is oversimplified as a problem of numbers.
Both the Singapore and the Ukutula cases have been framed as such. The events were reported against a backdrop of rapidly diminishing wild lion numbers. And it's true that according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, more than 40% of the wild lion population has disappeared in the last 20 years. Current estimates show wild lion numbers stand between 23,000 and 30,000.
Against this gloomy backdrop, it is tempting to infer that the silver technological bullet in the conservation toolbox will save the day and if numbers get too low of a threatened animal species, science can make more of them. Problem solved.
Dragons and shortcuts
But this is the the kind of thinking that feeds the "Dragons of Inaction" Gifford warned of. Psychological research has shown how humans use cognitive shortcuts to simplify their interaction with the world. For example, the frequency, importance and likelihood of events are judged on the basis of how easily they can be brought to mind.
So humans are selective. We respond to immediate, highly visible and personal dangers while discounting long term and less visible risks. Humans are essentially short term reactors, rather than long term planners. Consequently, the slow creep of environmental degradation and biodiversity loss was not on our radar. We didn't notice it quickly enough.
Technology won't fix the quirks in human behaviour responsible for the drop in wild lion numbers. Quirks including, loss of habitat, loss of prey due to increased competition for space and food with humans, desertification, disease and hunting. All these issues require a change in human behaviour.
Changing the way humans think and behave is fundamental to protecting and restoring wild lion populations. Anything else is a diversion of attention and resources.
So it's fine to applaud technological advances, such as artificial insemination in lions. But it needs to be seen in context and it needs to be recognised that it is not a success stories for wildlife conservation. The complexity of biodiversity loss - and our collective responsibility for it - needs to be addressed because technosalvation won't save the day. Changing the way we think and behave, will.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pentagrams were used symbolically in ancient Greece and Babylonia, and are used today as a symbol of faith by many Wiccans, akin to the use of the cross by Christians and the Star of David by the Jews. The pentagram has magical associations. Many people who practice Neopagan faiths wear jewelry incorporating the symbol. Christians once commonly used the pentagram to represent the five wounds of Jesus.[1][2] The pentagram has associations with Freemasonry and is also used as a symbol by other belief systems.
The word pentagram comes from the Greek word πεντάγραμμον (pentagrammon),[3] from πέντε (pente), "five" + γραμμή (grammē), "line".[4] The word "pentacle" is sometimes used synonymously with "pentagram".[5] The word pentalpha is a learned modern (17th-century) revival of a post-classical Greek name of the shape.[6]
Early history
In early (Ur I) monumental Sumerian script, or cuneiform, a pentagram glyph served as a logogram for the word ub, meaning "corner, angle, nook; a small room, cavity, hole; pitfall" (this later gave rise to the cuneiform sign UB 𒌒, composed of five wedges, further reduced to four in Assyrian cuneiform ).
The word Pentemychos (πεντέμυχος lit. "five corners" or "five recesses")[7] was the title of the cosmogony of Pherecydes of Syros.[8] Here, the "five corners" are where the seeds of Chronos are placed within the Earth in order for the cosmos to appear.[9]
A Pythagorean "Hugieia Pentagram"[10]

Western symbolism
The pentagram was used in ancient times as a Christian symbol for the five senses,[12] or of the five wounds of Christ. The pentangle plays an important symbolic role in the 14th-century English poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, in which the symbol decorates the shield of the hero, Gawain. The unnamed poet credits the symbol's origin to King Solomon, and explains that each of the five interconnected points represents a virtue tied to a group of five: Gawain is perfect in his five senses and five fingers, faithful to the Five Wounds of Christ, takes courage from the five joys that Mary had of Jesus, and exemplifies the five virtues of knighthood.[13]
The apotropaic use of the pentagram symbol in German folklore (called Drudenfuss in German) is referred to by Goethe in Faust (1808), where a pentagram prevents Mephistopheles from leaving a room (but did not prevent him from entering by the same way, as the outward pointing corner of the diagram happened to be imperfectly drawn):
I must confess, my stepping o'er
Thy threshold a slight hindrance doth impede;
The wizard-foot [Drudenfuss] doth me retain.
The pentagram thy peace doth mar?
To me, thou son of hell, explain,
How camest thou in, if this thine exit bar?
Could such a spirit aught ensnare?
Observe it well, it is not drawn with care,
One of the angles, that which points without,
Is, as thou seest, not quite closed.
East Asian symbolism
Use in modern occultism
Aleister Crowley made use of the pentagram in his Thelemic system of magick: an adverse or inverted pentagram represents the descent of spirit into matter, according to the interpretation of Lon Milo DuQuette.[17] Crowley contradicted his old comrades in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, who, following Levi, considered this orientation of the symbol evil and associated it with the triumph of matter over spirit.
Use in new religious movements
The five-pointed star is a symbol of the Bahá'í Faith.[18][19] In the Bahá'í Faith, the star is known as the Haykal (Arabic: "temple"), and it was initiated and established by the Báb. The Báb and Bahá'u'lláh wrote various works in the form of a pentagram.[20]

Because of a perceived association with Satanism and occultism, many United States schools in the late 1990s sought to prevent students from displaying the pentagram on clothing or jewelry.[23] In public schools, such actions by administrators were determined in 2000 to be in violation of students' First Amendment right to free exercise of religion.[24]
The encircled pentagram (referred to as a pentacle by the plaintiffs) was added to the list of 38 approved religious symbols to be placed on the tombstones of fallen service members at Arlington National Cemetery on 24 April 2007. The decision was made following ten applications from families of fallen soldiers who practiced Wicca. The government paid the families US$225,000 to settle their pending lawsuits.[25][26]
Other religious use
Serer religion
Yoonir, symbol of the universe in Serer religion and creation mythology.[28][29]
Representation of the three worlds in Serer cosmogony: the invisible world, the terrestrial world and the nocturnal world.[27]
The five pointed star is a symbol of the Serer religion and the Serer people of West Africa. Called Yoonir in their language, it symbolizes the universe in the Serer creation myth, and also represents the star Sirius.[28][29]
A multicolored version is used as symbol of the Druze religion.
Other modern use
• The pentagram is featured on the national flags of Morocco (adopted 1915) and Ethiopia (adopted 1996 and readopted 2009)
• The Order of the Eastern Star, an organization (established 1850) associated with Freemasonry, uses a pentagram as its symbol, with the five isosceles triangles of the points colored blue, yellow, white, green, and red. In most Grand Chapters the pentagram is used point down, but in a few it is point up. Grand Chapter officers often have a pentagon inscribed around the star.[30](The logo shown here is from the Prince Hall Association).
• A pentagram is featured on the flag of the Dutch city of Haaksbergen, as well on its coat of arms.

A uniform truncated pentagram t{5/2} produces a doubly-wrapped pentagon with overlapping vertices and edges, {10/2}. A shallower truncation produces an isogonal figure, like this one with equally spaced vertices. A truncated retro-pentagram t{5/3}, or a quasitruncation, produces a decagram, {10/3}.

The pentagram of Venus
The pentagram of Venus is the apparent path of the planet Venus as observed from Earth. Successive inferior conjunctions of Venus repeat with an orbital resonance of approximately 13:8—that is, Venus orbits the Sun approximately 13 times for every eight orbits of Earth—shifting 144° at each inferior conjunction.[31] The tips of the five loops at the center of the figure have the same geometric relationship to one another as the five vertices, or points, of a pentagram. Groups of five intersections of curves, equidistant from the figure's center, have the same geometric relationship.

last week tuesday, if you recall, i was running late for class, crashed my bike (or, more myself), and arrived at something like 9:07. tuesdays we have a different teacher than on mondays and fridays, by the way. yesterday (tuesday), we woke up late. were i to bring the guys to school, i knew i would be late again, thereby giving my tuesday teacher the impression that i am never on time. so yesterday, greg took the guys to school. but when he went to attach the burley to his bike, he realized his front tire was flat. so he decided to run them to school and then run himself to work and back. which he did. maybe 13 kilometers or so. but by the time he got into bed last night, his back was hurting him. two weeks of not running at all and then one day with a couple of runs, pushing a burley up a hill or two, seems to have done something to it. neither of us had a wonderful night of sleep and by morning his back was even worse than last night. so he worked from home. and i, social butterfly that i am, cancelled my two previous engagements in cophenhagen, and went to the super best and bought ibuprofen, and we both sat on the couch and did our work and i learned about antibodies and isotopes, but also about søren who scared his mother, bodil, to death when he was an hour late getting home from a party. "jeg glemte tiden!" he told her. my au pair classmate complained that the book was boring, but that may be because she doesn't have kids.
søren went to a party. karen, his little sister went to a sleepover, leaving bodil with a night all to herself to eat pizza on the couch and watch a movie. um, if that doesn't sound absolutely exhilarating to most people, then perhaps i haven't had one of those nights for the past four and a half years. but 12 years from now, it will happen. i'm going to eat pizza on the couch and watch a movie, just like bodil in my book.
and another thing-- sleepovers. when i was a kid, asking my parents if i could sleep over at a friend's house, i was always nervous that the answer might be 'no' and so excited when it was 'yes,' and now i realize that the answer was probably always yes, because really, it's a win-win. maybe not for the parents who just adopted another kid for the night, but for the send-off parents, yes, a no-brainer really. at least, i say this now as a parent of two very dependent children (though i'm pretty sure william could handle things if the food were placed within his reach... and did i mention, very loved, and very much cared for children?), much too young to sleep over anywhere however, and living in a land with no cheap babysitters. so meanwhile, i'm keeping my sights focused on that pizza and i am going to enjoy bodil's life in 'jeg glemte tiden' no matter how sorry people, with even a speck of a social life, feel for me.
in other news, henry took a nearly three hour nap at school today, and i'm realizing that it takes us about half the length of that day's nap to get him to sleep at night. maybe i'm exaggerating, maybe it's a third. but a three hour nap makes for a long bedtime. the bedtime routine is a constantly evolving thing, but nowadays it involves singing, humming, rubbing his back, not rubbing his back, and finally just silence, waiting to hear his little snore.
and now, because we just realized it's possible... 'the daily show' online... with our fingers crossed that a little guy doesn't wake up before it's over.

Saturday Morning Links
1. Ever heard of Flamborough Head? Me neither. Flamborough Head is in Yorkshire, England and one of those cliffs with pure white cliffs. Flamborough Head is also famous for a battle in September of 1779 where John Paul Jones, fighting for the Continental Navy, and a few British escort vessels. Jones is the father of the U.S. Navy.

2. Colossal is a really fun website. It’s got a ton of photos of interesting things. You could scroll for hours I think. So there’s this building in Reno, a brewery of all things, that has an enclave and so an artist drew a stack of records and it’s a great use of space that would have probably otherwise been wasted. If you’re one of those people that doesn’t get “art” checking out Colossal is a good way to take something in that’s not really far out there.
3. Via Narratively, the story of Sandy Gray, a bus driver who was fishing in Scotland in August of 1930, and is the person for reporting the Loch Ness monster.
4. A group of French national team fans arrived in Bucharest and were supposed to be in Budapest. Of course Bucharest is in Romania and Budapest is in Hungary and it’s about a 9 hour drive from the other. The French fans stayed in Bucharest and hung out.
5. The best thing I’ve read all week. From the New York Times, a New Jersey Catholic school brought back a mandatory hike across the Appalachian Trail, the hike is for freshmen who finished their first year and they hike 50 miles over 5 days (this year they only did 40 miles over 4 days). Most of the students are people of color, but that’s not what this is about, this is about a rite of passage. Great photos and great story-telling.

1. Ever heard of Passy National Nature Reserve? Me neither, but it is a 4,240 acre park in eastern France. Actually, if you travel to Samoens, which is a commune in the French alps, an has a large number of limestone quarries and this area of the world is known for their stonemasons, and is only 70 kilometers from Geneva and is somewhat sandwiched in-between Switzerland and Italy.

2. From the New York Times, Marty Bluewater has been the only person who has been allowed to live on Protection Island, consisting of approximately 370 acres and 2 miles long, for the past 50 years. The pictures alone are worth click.
3. Via Narratively’s Brent Crane, Lamar Marshall is single-handedly re-mapping the Cherokee trails that had previously been wiped off maps.
4. These are three stories from Good Beer Hunting and all three stories are from different places in the world. All are about brewing something and what I love is that despite the distances, we all pretty well do the same thing: Copenhagen, Denmark; Kesennuma, Japan; and Kittery, Maine. I also love the photos, they’re all terrific and so even if you don’t read the article, the photos are worth the click over as well.
5. The Ringer’s Brian Phillips and Den of Geek’s David Crow with two terrific deep dives on Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost Ark. This is a movie we’ve watched with the boys and it definitely holds up. Both links are terrific essays that deep-dive into the movie. What was great to me about this movie is that the Ark of the Covenant was real and that is something that had never once occurred to me as a kid watching this movie in the theaters. I had never conceptualized the Ark that’s what struck me and what I love about that movie.
Saturday morning links
1. Ever heard of Val Gardena? Me neither. Val Gardena is a valley in the Dolomites of the Tyrol region in Italy. This scene is fairly iconic I think, it’s one that I’ve seen a handful of times, the sheer of that mountain that just drops off is quite the scene. There’s a heavy German influence despite the valley being in Italy.
Photo by Warre Vyncke on Unsplash
There’s a great Rick Steves episode on that region.
2. From GQ’s David Alm on a group of elite Ethiopian runners who can’t go home, largely because of the conflict (really ethnic cleansing as the article states) of the Tigray Region. I have read a ton about this, largely because my son is from Ethiopia, but to say that I understand this would not be true. Maybe that’s the thing, you’re not supposed to understand the “why” of an ethnic cleansing. While they are here, they live together and make the best of a situation as they seek asylum.
In addition to supporting his roommates, Fikadu sends money each month to his wife and five brothers back in Ethiopia. With whatever he has left, he treats himself: He likes designer clothes and wears a new Apple watch. An energetic 28-year-old with a steadfast gaze and the charisma of an actor, Fikadu is committed to living with his roommates, despite his healthy income. “In Ethiopia,” he says, “we have a saying: ‘A house is not yours. A house is God’s house.’ You can live in it, but when you die the house will stay there. The house is not going to die with you. So in my culture we say a house is God’s house. Everybody can come and you can live together.”
3. Outside Online’s David Kushner on a young diver who finds a prosthetic leg at the bottom of the ocean in the Gulf of Mexico and the boy’s journey to find the owner.
4. Longread’s Paul Brown on how four Americans robbed the Bank of england in Victorian London.
On April 18, 1872, Austin Bidwell walked into Green & Son tailors on London’s renowned Savile Row and ordered eight bespoke suits, two topcoats, and a luxurious dressing gown. Bidwell was 26 years old, 6ft tall, and handsomely groomed with a waxed mustache and bushy side-whiskers. If the accent didn’t give it away, his eye-catching western hat marked him out as an American — a rich American. London tradesmen called Americans with bulges of money in their pockets “Silver Kings,” and they were most welcome in upmarket establishments like Green & Son, which charged as much for the strength of their reputations as for the quality of their goods.
5. I am here for this. Capture Atlas with the best Milky Way photographs of the year. One of my favorite things to look at, especially because I follow NASA on Insta, is the Milky Way and stars and galaxies and find the prospect of “that” entirely amazing.

WINS reporter Stan Brooks, at 85, is still getting the big stories
Stan Brooks has been with 1010 WINS for 50 years.

Not too many reporters who covered the Empire State Building shooting last Friday are older than the building itself, which opened in 1931.
Stan Brooks is. He's 85.
"And he was the first WINS reporter on the scene," says WINS news and program director Ben Mevorach. "He works like folks half his age."
"A story like that makes it a great day to be a reporter," says Brooks. "I've said for years, it's like having a seat on the 50-yard line of history."
He's been narrating the story for WINS listeners since Labor Day weekend 1962, 50 years ago, and 21/2 years before the station switched from rock 'n' roll to all-news, with Brooks as the first news director.
"When they told me about all-news," recalls Brooks, "I said, 'What's that?' And when we did it, everyone was asking me, 'What happens when you run out of news?'
"Fortunately, we never have."
WINS does, however, repeat stories, which is part of why it has thrived for 47 years. It looks at news the way it used to look at top-40: Play the hits.
"We were fortunate the first year that we had the first big blackout and then a transit strike," says Brooks. "We covered them both well and that gave us a big boost."
Brooks, who worked 10 years at Newsday before he joined WINS, says his own guiding principle over the years has been clarity and economy of words.
"You want to get to the spine of the story," he says. "When you've got 35 seconds, you've got to tell people what they need right away."
He's done that with almost every significant New York story of the last 50 years, notes Mevorach. There may not be a voice in the city that more people have heard.
The story that left its deepest impression on him, he says, was the Attica prison rebellion of 1971, when Gov. Nelson Rockefeller ordered troops to storm the prison and 43 people died, including nine hostages.
"We were there for days, standing outside in the rain, eating sandwiches from the Salvation Army, with no idea how it would end," he says. "Then Monday morning we heard the gunfire and got hit with the tear gas.
"That was something you never forget."
And now, at 85, does he think about retiring?
"My wife Lynne and I talked about it when I was around 65," he says. "But I said, 'What else would I do?' Now every year I joke about cutting back to three or four days, and I have the same question: What would I do with two days?"
This weekend, while WINS runs on-air promo tributes to Brooks, he and his wife are "taking a long weekend" at a bed and breakfast in Connecticut.
Next week, he's back on the job.

Beginner's Guide to Laos: The Opposite of Hate
I married a man who everyone assumes is Chinese because of the epicanthic folds of his eyelids. I didn’t know Laos was a country until I heard my husband explain over and over again that no, Laos was not another name for Cambodia. That was the beginning of the idea of a book, loosely based on the experiences of my Laotian in-laws as they immigrated to the United States. I say “loosely” because in the tradition of Hollywood, the inspiration for the story then veered into characters who behaved other than the real life events.
Nearly 3 years later, and on my 8th wedding anniversary, here’s a look at how history can bring us together and life tear us apart in the Land of a 1000 Elephants where more bombs were dropped during the Secret War than ever before.

A biodigester system utilizes organic waste, particularly animal and human excreta, to produce fertilizer and biogas. Graphic: GreenEnergy.
What is a Biodigester?
A Biodigester simply means a tank which digests organic material biologically. In this sense, the FilterPod is a biodigester. However, many people think of a biodigester as a tank that digests, anaerobically, without air, organic material and produces methane gas for cooking, lighting, and heating etc.
What is biogas?
Biogas is produced after organic materials (plant and animal products) are broken down by bacteria in an oxygen-free environment, a process called anaerobic digestion. Biogas systems use anaerobic digestion to recycle these organic materials, turning them into biogas, which contains both energy (gas), and valuable soil products (liquids and solids).
An advanced Biodigester / Bioreactor
Anaerobic digestion already occurs in nature, landfills, and some livestock manure management systems, but can be optimized, controlled, and contained using an anaerobic digester. The composition of the gases produced by this type of biodigester is about 60% Methane, 30% Carbon Dioxide and the rest is Hydrogen Sulphide. However, for a Biodigester to produce enough methane to make it practical for cooking alone, it would require all the household waste and toilet waste plus more manure from large farm animals.
Biodigesters are the superb solutions for rural agrarian communities with intensive livestock farms, towns, and cities where the large volumes of domestic and animal wastes can produce significant quantities of methane. In rural areas, biodigesters are built in settlements where there is adequate animal manure.
Graphics: www.eesi.org
Biogas technology has been used globally for decades, with primary applications for large-scale, high-tech commercial systems in Europe (and limited penetration in the US) and small-scale, low-tech “house-hold” scale systems in Asia. The United States produces more than 70 million tons of organic waste each year.
New York City spends roughly $400 million each year to transport 14 million tons of waste to incinerators and landfills. Diverting that waste to anaerobic digestion would turn a cost into an opportunity, generating revenue from energy production and co-products.
The potential for application of biogas technology on small-scale farms in the US is great for providing alternative means for managing on-farm organic wastes (manure, on-farm food processing) and providing a clean, renewable source of energy for on-farm applications (thermal energy for water heating, food processing, etc.). The United States currently has 2,200 operating biogas systems across all 50 states and has the potential to add over 13,500 new systems.
Making biogas technology a viable option for small farms requires the development of reliable, effective biogas reactors that can be readily fabricated and maintained by farmers. With support from the USDA Western Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education Program (Western SARE), CSANR developed a project to explore options for developing improved biogas technology for applications in small-farm settings in the US.
In Indian villages, larger units are made to serve a number of families or even a whole village. In China, where most rural families keep numerous pigs, the one family unit is common. To produce 1 m3 of BIOGAS, to cook 3 meals daily for a small family of 4 you need at least 5 litres of pig manure/day. 8 large pigs (breeding adults) will produce 5+ litres/day.
In Subsaharan and the whole continental Africa people are faced with serious issues of deforestation from excessive use of firewood for heat and cooking, health problems from poor air quality and pollution, harmful waste contaminating the environment, and a sheer lack of access to energy. Some upcoming renewable innovators have developed revolutionary biodigesters to address all of these pressing concerns.
The engineered the next generation Slurry-Separation Technology (SST) of biodigesters that tackles waste management at the source, generates alternative energy known as biofuel, and provides independence from water demands that tax households, agriculture, schools and businesses. Biodigesters' firms such as GreenLife and BlueFlame have installed over 580 biogas digesters in Kenya, Uganda, Mozambique, Togo, Ethiopia and Haiti, helping to create a reliable source of clean energy and organic fertilizer, all from unwanted waste products. Green Heat adds value to your waste! At the same time waste is being converted into energy, Green Heat is doing its part to reduce the reliance on non-sustainable biomass and mitigate deforestation.

What parents really think about RSE
7 November 2019
Through my work with BigTalk Education, I personally deliver presentations to parents and carers in schools throughout term time, and as an organisation we reach thousands of children every year.
Following a recent presentation to parents and carers at a school in South Yorkshire, two Asian mums explained to me that they had been selected to represent their extended family which included about 15 nuclear families. They had been tasked with deciding whether or not the new Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) programme was suitable for their children.
It was almost with euphoria that they shared with me, not only did they think it appropriate, but that they believed it would be beneficial for their children to receive age appropriate, fact based RSE. I’ll always remember their response to the end of our presentation, ‘is that it?’ They went on to explain that most of the social media they had seen around statutory RSE had been extremely negative, but they were pleasantly surprised by how age appropriate and relevant the topics covered would be.
Of course, not all meetings have been so positive and responses vary greatly from school to school, but it is often the quiet majority, those seeking more information, support or assurance that ultimately holds sway.
Discussion with a wide range of parents and carers in recent weeks has helped us understand current perspectives and needs. Here are five bits of learning to share:
1. Many parents assumed that RSE was already statutory and now believe major changes are coming, especially at primary school level. This is not necessarily the case, as many schools are already delivering very effective RSE and the new guidance is simply about ensuring it isn’t a post code lottery. It helps to explain that changes to RSE build on what schools are already doing.
2. Some parents and carers arrive anxious, due to their own negative school experiences or their own problems discussing sex and relationships. Making an effort to greet parents individually helps warm up the crowd.
3. Parents and carers often want to ask very specific questions in regards to their own child, particularly if they have any additional needs. It’s worth schools anticipating these questions and having resources ready and space for one-to-one conversations if possible.
4. We are often told by parents that their child is not ready, but often through discussion we find it is the parent who is not ready. We need to remind parents that in a digital world, where it is far easier to access adult content than it should be, waiting is not advisable. Ignorance only leaves children open to abuse and exploitation.
5. LGBT inclusive teaching has led some parents to assume intimate details about sexual relationships will be discussed at primary school level, which is of course not the case. It is important to be clear about what will and won’t be covered.
We always stress to parents that we are working in partnership and inform them that research tells us that children and young people want their parents to be their primary educator in this field. Responses are as different as the parents attending, but it’s the quiet majority that hold the key, they come seeking help in terms of hints, tips, when is best and how?
It is through openness, trust, good communication and working together as parents and educators that we can get the best outcomes for their children.
Lynnette Smith, Chair, Sex Education Forum
Lynnette will be Chairing our flagship autumn conference on 29 November 2019, including a panel discussion with Parentkind, Nazir Afzal OBE, Head teacher Lindsay Gamble and Ritu Mahendru.

HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
In the past (defined as pre-HTML5), web designers often used <div> elements to segment
the page. These elements don't provide very much context as to what they are intended to
contain. But with the semantic markup available in HTML5, you can use more descriptive ele-
ments for the page sections. As you saw in the blog-page layout example, the HTML elements
alone make clear the intent of each segment of the page. As search engines scour webpages,
they detect the markup and know what to take from it to properly index the page.
The <article> and <section> elements are the main ones used by the SEO algorithm. These
elements are known to contain the main body of the page. That a page have more than one
<article> and/or <section> element is acceptable; they all get indexed. Within each <article>
element, the engine then seeks out elements such as <hgroup> or <h1> to get the main
topic of the <article> element for relevant indexing. However, this doesn't mean that if a site
doesn't have <article> or <section> elements, it won't get indexed and be searchable. This
speaks only to the quality of indexing the search engines can conduct to make your site more
searchable by end users.
SEO is a great technique to understand when designing websites. Creating a website just
to leave it in the dark and hard to find doesn't serve much purpose. Being found is very im-
portant and, when the site is found, you don't want to limit your audience. Accessibility is also
very important.
Next, look at how HTML5 affects the use of screen readers.
Optimizing for screen readers
Screen readers rely on the document outline to parse the structure and present information
to the user. Screen-reader programs can read the text on the page and convert it to audio
through a text-to-speech algorithm. This is helpful for users who might have difficulty view-
ing the webpage. As discussed earlier, the way the document gets outlined in HTML5 has
changed. Here's a little more detail.
Prior to HTML5, a page was outlined using only the header elements ( <h1> through <h6> ).
The relative position of each header element to the previous header element within the page
created the hierarchy. Screen readers could use this information to present a table of contents
to users. However, HTML5 introduced semantic elements to create new sections. This means
that <section> , <article> , <nav> , and <aside> elements all define new sections. The introduc-
tion of the semantic elements changes how the document outline is created. For example, if
the following HTML was going to be the hierarchy of the sample document, you could possibly
lay it out like this:
<h1>Fruits and Vegetables</h1>
<h3>Round Fruit</h3>
<h3>Long Fruit</h3>

About this guide #
Progressive Web Apps often need to support the needs of different languages, currencies, or other unique formats that are unique to various regions, cultures and customs. In computing, the practice of supporting these various locales is called internationalization and localization. These terms are abbreviated to i18n and l10n, respectively. For the rest of this document, we will use the term i18n.
Table of Contents #
i18n Dependencies #
By default, your PWA comes installed with a library called react-intl, which has a robust array of i18n features, from formatting text and numbers, to displaying localized date and times, and more. A brief overview of available features is listed below, but refer to the library’s official documentation for a complete list of feature details.
All of the instructions provided in this guide assume you are using the react-intl library.
Don’t want react-intl as a dependency? #
Maybe your application doesn’t need any i18n features, or maybe you want to use a different library. In either case, refer to the How to Remove react-intl section below for more details on removing the unwanted library.
Using react-intl Functions and Components #
Using react-intl components is as simple as importing them from the library and using them in your React components. Just be aware that the IntlProvider component already wraps the application. This means the react-intl components are ready to use with no further setup.
import {
} from 'react-intl'
// Formatted messages require IDs. See the Translations section below
// for details
const translationKey = ''
const MyComponent = ({text, currency}) => (
<FormattedMessage id={translationKey} />
<FormattedNumber value="10" style="currency" currency={currency} />
However, using react-intl’s functions should be done in combination with injectIntl. See the example below.
import {injectIntl} from 'react-intl'
const MyComponent = ({
intl, // this prop comes from `injectIntl`
}) => (
<span>{intl.formatMessage({id: '...'})}</span>
<span>{intl.formatNumber(10, {style: 'currency', currency: currency})}</span>
// The component wrapped by `injectIntl` will receive the `intl` prop, from
// which react-intl's numerous APIs can be used
const WrappedMyComponent = injectIntl(MyComponent)
Translations #
Translations files are used to store dictionaries of messages. Each message is a key and value pair of identifiers and a message localized according to its respective language. These messages can then be referred to when using the <FormattedMessage> component or the formatMessage() function to dynamically output the message in the active locale. See the below Switching Locales section for details on dynamically switching locales.
In your PWA, all translations of a single locale are imported into their own top level translation file in web/app/config/translations/*.js where the * is the locale key. For example…
* web/app/config/translations/en.js
import {homeMessages} from '../../containers/home/translations/en'
export default {
The actual translations themselves are stored close together with whatever component they relate to. For example, the home page translations exist in web/app/containers/home/translations/*.js.
* web/app/containers/home/translations/en.js
export const homeMessages = {
'home.example.message': 'This is an English translated message!',
Using the above translation would then be as simple as referencing its translation id in the FormattedMessage component or formatMessage() function.
const HomeComponent = (props, context) => {
const messageString = context.intl.formatMessage(context, {id: 'home.example.message'})
const messageComponent = <FormattedMessage id="home.example.message">
HomeComponent.contextTypes = {
intl: PropTypes.object
Organizing Translation Files #
There are two important concepts to understand how translation files are stored: they are stored close to the code where they are used, and all translation files are ultimately imported into a single master translation file.
This architecture is similar to how the PWA’s routes (sometimes called containers or templates) are structured. One route is stored along side all its other related code (styles, tests, actions, partials, etc.) and ultimately pulled into a single master file (the router.jsx file).
The main advantage of this architecture is that it keeps all related code close together.
└── /config
│ └── /translations
│ en.js // All English translations are imported here
│ jp.js // All Japanese translations are imported here
└── /containers
└── /checkout
│ └── /translations
│ en.js
│ jp.js
└── /home
│ └── /translations
│ en.js
│ jp.js
└── /product-details
│ └── /translations
│ en.js
│ jp.js
└── /product-list
│ └── /translations
│ en.js
│ jp.js
Using the example files from above, the following JavaScript example demonstrates what the master /web/app/config/translations/en.js file looks like:
import {checkoutMessages} from '../../containers/checkout/translations/en'
import {productDetailsMessages} from '../../containers/product-details/translations/en'
import {productListMessages} from '../../containers/product-list/translations/en'
export default {
When the project is compiled into a bundle, Webpack is configured to code split the localizations into their own files to be downloaded by the user as needed. So that means that a project with English and Japanese, as in the above examples, Webpack will create both en.js and jp.js, which the user will automatically download and use.
Translation Key Name Conventions #
During the course of your internationalized build you will need to add a number of keys to your translation dictionary. In typical ecommerce builds this dictionary can end up getting quite large, so we’ve come up with a few conventions that should help you avoid these pitfalls.
Key names should include:
Specifically we suggest using this format
A specific example for the text of an expand button in a product description of a product details page might look like…
In the case where a key is used in multiple areas of the site, and not just in a specific container, use common as the component instead. An example of this would be…
To help reduce the size of your bundle and improve performance of your build, you can minimize the number of keys with shared translation values by providing just one common key value pair like in the example below.
// Duplicate example 1
// /web/app/containers/checkout-shipping/translations/en.js
'checkoutShipping.addressForm.firstName.label': 'First Name',
// Duplicate example 2
// /web/app/containers/checkout-payment/translations/en.js
'checkoutPayment.addressForm.firstName.label': 'First Name',
// Duplicate example 3
// /web/app/containers/registration/translations/en.js
'registration.firstName.label': 'First Name',
// All the above could have just been summarized into a single key, located
// somewhere common
'common.forms.firstName.label': 'First Name',
Translations in Redux Thunk Actions #
Unfortunately, react-intl doesn’t provide a way to access translations or formatting functions within a thunk action. We only get access to those thunks within a component or container.
Instead, we must take a few steps to work around this limitation with a technique that involves injecting react-intl’s intl object into the thunk actions as an argument.
By passing the full intl object, we get access to not only the translations, but also all of the formatting functions we might need.
import {injectIntl} from 'react-intl'
import {connect} from 'react-redux'
const MyContainer = ({myThunkAction, intl}) => {
const click = () => {
// Here we pass the full `intl` object into our thunk action!
return (
<Button onClick={click}>
// ...
const mapStateToProps = // ...
const mapDispatchToProps = {
export default connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)(
// injectIntl gives our component the `intl` object as prop
By using the technique as outlined above, your thunk action gains full access to react-intl’s full suite of functions. You can then do things like…
// Access a translation directly off of the messages object:
// Use the formatMessage function on the `intl` object
intl.formatMessage({id: 'form.firstName.invalid'})
// And more! See react-intl documentation for details.
Locales #
Locales are used by react-intl to support its pluralization and time formatting features.
By default, your PWA comes pre-baked with two languages: English and Japanese. It’s possible to add (or remove) locales. To do so, you import the necessary locale data and register it with the addLocaleData function.
* web/app/components/intl/index.js
// import ja from 'react-intl/locale-data/ja' // Comment out or delete an unwanted locale
import fr from 'react-intl/locale-data/fr' // Import new locales as needed
// ...
class ProxyIntlProvider extends React.Component {
componentWillMount() {
if (typeof addLocaleData !== UNDEFINED) {
// ...ja, // Comment out or delete the registering of an unwanted locale
// add your new locale to the array passed to `addLocaleData`
// ...
For further reading, see react-intl’s Loading Locale Data documentation.
Switching Locales #
Switching locales is as easy as running the following…
import {changeLocale} from '../containers/app/actions'
// ...
const locale = 'en' // or which ever locale you want
This will update the Redux store so the locale is set to en (or your desired locale), as well as start downloading the appropriate locale file. For example, setting the locale to fr will start downloading fr.js.
When the user changes their locale, send a UI interaction analytics event.
Currencies #
In the context of PWAs and i18n, currencies refers to format(s) used to display prices. Different currency formats are often needed when services are offered in locales who use varying currency types, which is of course not mutually exclusive to the language spoken.
For example, in English speaking North America, the dollar ($) currency is used. But in the English speaking UK, the Pound sterling (£) is used instead.
Formatting Currencies #
Currencies stored in the Redux store should be formatted as follows:
type currency = {
code: string,
label: string,
symbol: string
code is the ISO code used for that currency, such as “USD” or “GBP”. This value is often used when formatting numbers with react-intl functions like formatNumber().
label is the term the developer can used to easily identify the currency. Such as “dollar”, “pound sterling”, etc.
symbol is the currency symbol that is placed alongside a price. Such as “$” or “£”.
Initializing Currencies #
When the PWA initializes, it should set both the list of available currencies and the current active currencies. This can be done by the following:
import {receiveAvailableCurrencies, receiveSelectedCurrency} from 'mobify-integration-manager/dist/integration-manager/results'
// ...
// These currencies would likely be fetched from the backend
const availableCurrencies = [
code: 'USD',
label: 'dollar',
symbol: '$'
code: 'GBP',
label: 'pound sterling',
symbol: '£'
// The active currency might be determined by some other means
const selectedCurrency = availableCurrencies[0]
// This ensures that the currency is correctly tracked in your analytics
Switching Currencies #
When switching between currencies, it’s as simple as fetching the list of available currencies with getAvailableCurrencies, passing the desired currency into the receiveSelectedCurrency action.
import {getAvailableCurrencies} from 'progressive-web-sdk/dist/store/app/selectors'
import {receiveSelectedCurrency} from 'mobify-integration-manager/dist/integration-manager/results'
// ...
// Get the currencies from the current state, which usually happens in a Redux thunk
const availableCurrencies = getAvailableCurrencies(getState()).toJS()
// The other currency is selected somehow, probably through a user interaction
const newCurrency = availableCurrencies.find(currency => currency.code === 'GBP')
When the user changes their currency, send a UI interaction analytics event.
How to Remove react-intl #
If you are working on a project that does not need a i18n support, or you would rather use a library other than react-intl, you’ll need to do the following:
Remove react-intl #
Verify react-intl Has Been Removed #
You should not see this in your report:
Analyze build check
Despite react-intl being gone, instances of i18n/l10n components and functions (i.e. FormattedText, context.intl.formatNumber, etc.) should be gradually removed from your application. Until they are removed, they will operate at a very basic level, thereby allowing your application to work as normal.
What’s Next #
At this point, you can install an i18n library of your own, build one from scratch, or ignore i18n altogether. The choice is yours!

TAB Review of Shattered Mirror
This novel is about a vampire hunter named Sarah Vida. In this book real vampire hunters are also witches. The Vida family are the most feared, respected, and famous vampire hunters in history and Sarah's mom is the leader and most famous of them all. Sarah has an older sister, Adianna, who is becoming more and more like their mother, Dominique. Dominique is first and for most a hunter, so she is very cold, lives by the Vida laws, and expects nothing less from her daughters. The Vida family have been hunting a vampire named Nikolas sense he killed a pregnant women named Elizabeth Vida, this was his first known kill. Nikolas is well kinown because he cuts his name into one of his victim's arms and a rose with vines around the wrist on the other. The book begins with Sarah tracking one of Nikolas' victims to a bash, party where vampires feed on humans. Nikolas lets some of his victims live, but they are sickeningly loyal to him and would choose death over betraying him. When she gets there she gets an invite to the next bash, but it becomes usless when she is discovered by Kaleo. Basically she gets a broken arm and some cuts. Dominique then moves her and her sister out of the city and she has to go to a new school and say good bye to some of her oldest hunting partners and friends. When she gets to the school she instintly recognizes Christopher and Nissa as very weak vampires, Nisa doesn't drink human blood often and Christopher hadn't drank human blood for a long time. Because they are so weak they don't realize Sarah is a witch. They are in three out of Sarah's four classes and they soon become friends, which is against Vida laws, and then Sarah begins to care about them, especially Christopher, and that is definitly against Vida law. As Sarah continues to hunt Nikolas her probloms just get bigger and more confussing, and it doesn't help that she has Adianna brerathing down her back. To make matters worse every new piece of the puzzel she finds makes her rethink everything she knows and was brought up to believe while making her opinion of Nissa and Christopher go up and down like a see saw. Sarah has to make the biggest choice she will ever make when she's caught breaking Vida law and faces trial. Sarah discovers that when it comes to good and evil it's noy just black and white, like what the Vida's are taught to believe, but there are some gray area's as well. This is a great book and possibly one of the best vampires stories of it's time.

Haftorah for Va'etchanan
Haftorah for Va'etchanan
The following is the standard Haftorah for this week's Torah reading. However, various calendar-based considerations occasionally cause different Haftorahs to be substituted for the standard ones.
Chapter 40
1"Console, console My people," says your God.
2Speak to the heart of Jerusalem and call to her, for she has become full [from] her host, for her iniquity has been appeased, for she has taken from the hand of the Lord double for all her sins.
3A voice calls, "In the desert, clear the way of the Lord, straighten out in the wilderness, a highway for our God."
4Every valley shall be raised, and every mountain and hill shall be lowered, and the crooked terrain shall become a plain and the close mountains a champaign.
5And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh together shall see that the mouth of the Lord spoke.
6A voice says, "Call!" and it says, "What shall I call?" "All flesh is grass, and all its kindness is like the blossom of the field.
7The grass shall dry out, the blossom shall wilt, for a wind from the Lord has blown upon it; behold the people is grass.
8The grass shall dry out, the blossom shall wilt, but the word of our God shall last forever.
9Upon a lofty mountain ascend, O herald of Zion, raise your voice with strength, O herald of Jerusalem; raise [your voice], fear not; say to the cities of Judah, "Behold your God!"
10Behold the Lord God shall come with a strong [hand], and His arm rules for Him; behold His reward is with Him, and His recompense is before Him.
11Like a shepherd [who] tends his flock, with his arm he gathers lambs, and in his bosom he carries [them], the nursing ones he leads.
12Who measured water with his gait, and measured the heavens with his span, and measured by thirds the dust of the earth, and weighed mountains with a scale and hills with a balance?
13Who meted the spirit of the Lord, and His adviser who informs Him?
14With whom did He take counsel give him to understand, and teach him in the way of justice, and teach him knowledge, and the way of understandings did He let him know?
15Behold the nations are like a drop from a bucket, and like dust on a balance are they counted; behold the islands are like fine [dust] that blows away.
16And the Lebanon-there is not enough to burn, and its beasts-there is not enough for burnt offerings.
17All the nations are as nought before Him; as things of nought and vanity are they regarded by Him.
18And to whom do you compare God, and what likeness do you arrange for Him?
19The graven image, the craftsman has melted, and the smith plates it with gold, and chains of silver he attaches.
20He who is accustomed to select, chooses a tree that does not rot; he seeks for himself a skilled craftsman, to prepare a graven image, which will not move.
21Do you not know, have you not heard has it not been told to you from the beginning? Do you not understand the foundations of the earth?
22It is He Who sits above the circle of the earth, and whose inhabitants are like grasshoppers, who stretches out the heaven like a curtain, and He spread them out like a tent to dwell.
23Who brings princes to nought, judges of the land He made like a thing of nought.
24Even [as though] they were not planted, even [as though] they were not sown, even [as though] their trunk was not rooted in the earth; and also He blew on them, and they dried up, and a tempest shall carry them away like straw.
25"Now, to whom will you compare Me that I should be equal?" says the Holy One.
26Lift up your eyes on high and see, who created these, who takes out their host by number; all of them He calls by name; because of His great might and because He is strong in power, no one is missing.
Please note: These Haftorah texts follow Chabad custom. Other communities could possibly read more, less, or a different section of the Prophets altogether. Please consult with your rabbi.

Content development is an important part of SMO service delivery. That’s why most SMO companies use content writers who create unique content, with keywords evenly distributed throughout the body of the text. Memorable content, written in clear language, is most appreciated by internet users. Submitting articles to various directories and distributing press releases are two essential aspects of social media optimization services.

Susan Thomas Dr.
Robert Arnold LBST 2102-H93 March 1, 2011 So Long a Letter ³The Senegalese writer, who was born in Dakar, Senegal, in 1929, was educated ±unlike many other women of her generation ±at the École Normale for girls in Rufisque. Brought up as a Muslim by maternal grandparents, she studied the Koran during school holidays. A school teacher and inspector by profession, Bâ promoted the crucial role of the writer in a developing country. She believed that the µsacred mission of the writer was to strike out at the archaic practices, traditions, and customs that are not a real part of our precious cultural heritage¶.´ This introduction tells the audience so much about the background of the writer and how her sentiments play out in the theme of this book, So Long a Letter. It sets the scene for the battle between what is the traditional method in handling duties and what the modern way is and which would be better in determining the result of a certain situation. It also discusses wich parts of tradition are truly worth keeping around in terms of defining a culture. The main character of the book has power, unlike the traditional woman of her culture, because she is an educator. Although she has this strong-will she must still recall the strict ideologies that govern her society and that the structures are still male-dominated. The theme of the modern woman struck me most. ³Modern mothers,´ Marima Bâ states, ³favor µforbidden games¶. They help to limit the damage and, better still, prevent it.´ Throughout this book, the main character, Ramatoulaye and her friend Aissatou, were strong women who were unlike the status quo. They stood up for women and the role the woman must play.
Traditionally, polygamy is an accepted lifestyle in their culture but these women were married for years and their lives were completely changed by polygamy. Aissatou was forced out by her spouses¶ aunt and Ramatoulaye, by her own spouses¶ love and adoration for a younger woman; her daughter¶s friend to be exact. Albeit the two women handled their situations quite differently, one uprooting her family and leaving, while the other stayed in an imbalanced co-existing relationship, they each accept the position of not becoming a submissive wife. These women are victimized by traditional customs but they don¶t let that ruin their lives. Aissatou works for the Senegalese embassy in America and Ramatoulaye has worked hard to raise twelve children on her own and is now on her journey to find happiness within herself. Ramatoulaye stood up for every woman. She even described the positive nature of her enemies in various parts of the book. Her fight symbolizes all the fights of women. She gives a voice to these women¶s anguish. By comparing herself to other women in the story she shows that all women have a story to tell and they should not just sit around and wait for independence to dawn on them; things don¶t happen that way. Instead, they should consciously try to unite the prominent traditional ways with that of the modern world and find a common ground amongst themselves, other women, men, and their culture alike.

Curious about what a waiter earns in different countries I realize that tipping is not a custom in many countries so was wondering what waiters can earn in countries that do not tip AND also in countries that do tip.
Oct 7, 2008 6:15 AM
Answers · 2
just a little tip about tipping here in singapore. it is not common practise for the local people here. but some restaurants and hotels put a little box called the "tipping box" so, at the end of the month they will be equally shared.
October 7, 2008
Waiting staff in UK are usually earning minimum wage I think, which is £5.73 per hour if you are over 22 (7.36 Euro). As for tips, its not so common in cafés outside of London (I worked in a café in Bath for 5 years, never got tips and i wasn't *that* bad!!), but in resturants where food is served you give between 10-20% of the meal price. Most commonly would be about 15% I would say :) When my mother used to waitress, she would get between £50-£100 per night usually (64-128euro) - as the tips the whole resturant got were shared equally between all of the staff. Hope this helps!

By pc-Bilgisayar's owner Posts: All topics - B With no option for Tomato or even DD-WRT with any of the Max-Stream lineup of routers (as of this writing), in fact, the best Linksys router with VPN support is the WRT AC3200. Tomato support isn’t an option, but DD-WRT is if you’re looking to spend quite a bit less than the Nighthawk X10 and don’t mind a bit of an inferior product. Check out our guide on how to set up your pre‑configured VPN with Tomato USB firmware. The AsusWRT stock firmware natively supports OpenVPN, L2TP, and PPTP encryption protocols. Setup is a breeze (about 20 minutes or less) and you can load numerous VPN configurations onto your router (which is something you can’t do with DD-WRT). عربي Overplay is easy to install and even easier to use. Its simple user interface is suitable for those who do not want complex features. All one needs to do is run the app and choose the country you want to connect to. It offers a very good speed, with any speed reduction hardly noticeable. As the software has server locations in 48 countries and over 14,000 IP addresses, anonymity is assured. Ir a español + $12.00 shipping There's one other strong free VPN offering that's easy to recommend and that's Windscribe. This free VPN actually offers 20x as much free data as TunnelBear above, so if you're planning on staying connected at all times or streaming video/music through the VPN, this one will get you most of the way there. Of course, there's nothing to stop you installing more than one of these services at the same time and switching between them. Windscribe is easy to sign up for and doesn't require any personal information (makes sense to give your email address though, otherwise you'll be locked out if you forget your password). Windscribe will boost your data by 5GB if you send out a tweet about the service, and if you refer a friend who subscribes to the paid tier you'll be given access to that higher tier at no charge! jon VPNs also cloak your computer's actual IP address, hiding it behind the IP address of the VPN server you're connected to. IP addresses are distributed based on location, so you can estimate someone's location simply by looking at their IP address. And while IP addresses may change, it's possible to track someone across the internet by watching where the same IP address appears. Using a VPN makes it harder for advertisers (or spies, or hackers) to track you online. Logging policy refers to the records about user activity that a VPN collects. These records can be divided into two main categories: traffic logs and metadata logs. The former is our prime concern.

Thank you for your time and reply. Warnings and Notices December 01, 2017 0 Tip: One very easy way to use this router with a VPN would be buy installing the ExpressVPN router app. The app is very user-friendly and also supports selective routing (which they refer to as split tunneling) for different devices on the network. 4.

If you use a MacBook on the go, you can protect it with software such as Intego Mac Internet Security X8, which contains a powerful two-way firewall and a Mac anti-virus app. But with iOS devices, this is not possible; Apple has banned anti-virus apps from the iOS App Store, and also doesn't allow apps to access the operating system in the same way, so your iPhone or iPad is at a much greater risk when you connect to unknown networks.

Question One: I have a Section 8 tenant who paid her rent with a postdated check. I received it on the first of the month but I did not realize that the tenant had dated it for the 3rd. The check did go through, as the tenant had overdraft protection. She was charged a $35 service fee. She expects me to pay the service fee as she explains that I had no right to negotiate the postdated check. Do I need to pay her this fee?
Answer One: Clearly you have no legal responsibility to pay this fee. Your tenant never should have presented you with a postdated check. You are entitled to your full rent, on the day it is due.
Question Two: I have a rent controlled unit in the City of Los Angeles. I raise the rent in accordance with the ordinance. To make it easier, I always round up the increase to the next dollar. The tenant is now failing to pay the rent and my attorney is telling me that I had no right to round up the rent. How should I prepare the 3-day notice to pay rent?
Answer Two: You will need to credit the tenant for all of the overages that you charged. Under the law, if your 3-day notice overstates the rent, even by one cent, it would be considered defective.
Question Three: I have a new tenant who works in construction. He and his wife would like to make some upgrades to the apartment such as, replace a vanity in the bathroom. They said if I purchased the vanity, the husband would install it. I told them I do not want to put any more money into the apartment. They asked if they paid for it and installed it, with no cost to me, would I approve. They stated that they intended to reside in the unit for a long time and would like it to be upgraded. Are there any problems with allowing this? Thank you.
Answer Three: It is generally a formula for disaster to allow a tenant to do any work in your unit. If finances permit, tell the tenant that if they purchase the fixture, you will install it. Prepare a contract which states that the fixture stays with the unit, after they vacate.
Question Four: What’s the latest on the law regarding smoke detectors? Do I have to replace existing detectors with ones that contain a 10 year battery? I had read that the law had changed last year.
Answer Four: You do not have to replace existing smoke detectors. Manufacturers are required to have a 10 year lithium battery installed in all of their smoke detector units. Once a detector is inoperative, you will need to replace it with an updated unit.
Question Five: I have a tenant who recently moved into my unit. He is now complaining about roaches. I have owned this building for over six years and have never had a complaint regarding roaches. Is it my responsibility to hire a pest control company? It is obvious that the tenant is responsible for this infestation.
Answer Five: Under California law, a landlord is responsible for pest control. Even though it is logical that the tenant created this situation, it would be very difficult to prove. Schedule the service immediately, so that the problem does not spread.
- Advertisers -
Question Six: Is it legal to require tenants to deposit rent directly into my bank account. I have a tenant telling me that the law requires an address where the rent can be delivered.
Answer Six: It is certainly permissible to have tenants deposit directly into your bank. You should provide the tenants with your bank account number and the address of the bank and their hours of operation.
Question Seven: I have two tenants who live together as boyfriend and girlfriend. They recently got into a fight and the boyfriend took off. The remaining tenant is demanding that I take his name off the lease and to change the locks. Should I be doing this?
Answer Seven: You have no right to change the locks or to remove one tenant from the lease. This is something that needs to be worked out between the two of them. You should not get involved.
Question Eight: I have a tenant who really does not live in my rent controlled unit. For the past three months he has allowed a relative to stay there, even though he continues to pay the rent. He denies that he has moved out and tells me that this person is just his guest. How should I handle this?
Answer Eight: You have a tenant who is abusing the rent control ordinance. If you have a written agreement, the actual occupant is probably not permitted to occupy the unit without your written consent. You should serve a Notice to Perform or Quit, giving your tenant three days to remove this relative. If the relative continues to occupy the unit, you would have grounds to evict everyone from the premises.

The Impact of Emerging Technology on the Public Sector Essay

The Impact of Emerging Technology on the Public Sector
The impact of information technology has been tremendous within the public sector. Over the years, the growth and development of technology has caused the public sector to change. One of the most significant changes in technology has been the evolution of the information systems and how their development has reshaped the way the world uses technology. “It has been just over fifty years since the worlds first programmable computer became operational. It cost millions of dollars to build and processed an unprecedented 5,000 instructions per second. By 1971, Intel was able to pack 25 times that power into a single, two hundred-dollar chip. Today’s personal computers process

Electronic mail is utilized by various local, state and federal entities. E-mail provides a high level of convenience and accuracy in communication. "Over 40 million workers correspond via e-mail and that number is increasing 20% per year".[ii] Electronic mail (e-mail) is a form of correspondence that has become a popular form of communication in the public sector. Given its ease of use and convenience, e-mail is becoming the correspondence of choice through local, state and federal governments. E-mail is used to coordinate various levels of government, communicate information rapidly and disseminate information to a wide variety of persons in the quickest manner possible. E-mail also delivers cost benefits when compared to the cost of postal services.
In today's public sector environment virtually all federal, state and local government use computers. Computerization has streamlined repetitive processes, promoting a more cost effective and efficient use of information technology. " Studies suggest that managers look to information technology to streamline work processes, enable easier access and retrieval of information, provide better products and services, save money by avoiding workforce expansion, speed up transactions and provide better data security."[iii]

Pumpkin progress - here and there...
On our last visit to the farm I was fascinated to see my pumpkins which are growing in a pot (situated below a pin prick in the irrigation pipe) were doing so well.
I couldn't wait to compare the photo to my pumpkins growing at home. Both the ones at home and the ones on the farm were planted at the same time (well within a couple of days of each other).
This is my pumpkin (in a pot) at home...
...and this is my pumpkin in a pot on the farm...
Can you see the pumpkin plants amongst the
weeds outside the pots?
There is no comparison, is there...! And the pots on the farm contain two plants each, whereas the larger pot at home contains only one plant.
Why the difference? I have no idea. Perhaps it's the sunny position, smog free air and me not fussing with them LOL They are certainly growing far better than my town pumpkins.
CGuy took some more builders to his plot last weekend to continue with the progress on his house. He had a look at my new shade cloth veggie patch and says I have a lot of seedlings already surging up to greet the world above ground. That's amazing. Five days! And I'm very chuffed that my porous pipe is working so well!
All in all, I am very encouraged!
If this is the norm then I can see I'm going to be very busy on the farm. Can't wait!
1. Just a guess but maybe the wood chips you're using in the container is making the soil in that pot a bit too acid? I know pumpkins like it around 6-6.5 but conifer wood chips can bring the soil down much further than that.
2. Tanya - That's not a bad suggestion. Although the bark chips have been in the pot for over a year...? And yes, I have added nitrogen for I know that bark / wood chips seriously drain nitrogen from the soil. :)
3. Are they both from the same seed? That is a big difference. I agree with Tanya, I do not think the home pumpkins are happy with what ever is going on in the pot. Maybe this will be the year you finally get pumpkins.
4. Good luck! Pumpkins seem to be my nemesis... but I keep trying!
5. Did you use the same potting soil? What about hours of direct sunlight? Is their a big difference? At least you have the possibility of succession pumpkin harvests this year!
6. Jane - Same seed... Yup, agree the pot is the cause. Ah well, I'll leave it in there and see what happens. Maybe...
Frogdancer - Mine too LOL
Jody - They get the same hours of sunlight, and got the same compost. Hope you're right about succession pumpkins :)

Bias in the spotlight: framing
Our decisions and preferences are affected by how information is presented to us. How something is framed can make different features more or less front of mind and alter decision-making and behaviour.
This is true even if it’s the same information. For example, framing something as a loss can affect people’s behaviour. One study showed 93% of PhD students registered early when a penalty fee for late registration was emphasised – framing it as a loss, with only 67% registering when this was presented as a discount for earlier registration – framing it as a gain.
Another example, often used to illustrate our susceptibility to framing, asks people to imagine they have lung cancer. A doctor tells them of an operation that could potentially save their life. In one frame he tells them: “Of 100 patients, 10 are dead after five years”.
In another frame he tells them: “Of 100 patients, 90 are alive after five years.”
Even knowing about framing effects, one can’t help but feel more alarmed by the first example.
An excellent example of how framing can affect people’s answers in questioning, opinion polls and surveys is illustrated by the satirical British sitcom Yes Minister. In the clip, Sir Humphrey Appleby uses leading questions to frame national service (mandatory military service for young people) in a positive, and then negative, light.
Watch the 2-minute clip here.
When framing military service in a positive light, Sir Humphrey asks questions such as “are you worried about rising crime among teenagers?” and “Do you think young people welcome some structure and leadership in their lives?”, so by the time he asks the question “Might you be in favour of reintroducing National Service?”, people have the earlier questions top of mind and they are more salient, so are swayed to say yes.
When framing military service in a negative light, asking questions such as “Do you think there’s a danger in giving young people arms and teaching them how to kill?”, by the time he asks the key question “Would you oppose the reintroduction of conscription?” Mr Wooley catches himself saying yes again, completely contradicting himself.
This is a great reminder of how context and presentation can be big determinants in how people respond to information. We all know that it’s not just content that matters – context and presentation are key.

The Hazy Future of Our Queen Bees
The Hazy Future of Our Queen Bees
Illustration: Juergen Dsouza
t’s 2011 in Kolkata. All around me there’s a furious buzzing about the upcoming state elections, and every day in college I’m asked, “Kake vote debe? Didi na Dada?” (Who will you vote for, Sister or Brother?) There’s a lot of optimism in the air. No, nobody is entirely convinced by Mamata Banerjee’s promise of poriborton, but they are fed up of the 34-year reign of “Dada”, the Left front in Bengal.
Everyone also seems to find it heartening to see a “self-made” woman make it to the front lines of our political system without a male patron.

Beware Of Catch-Phrase, Or Sound-Byte Leadership!
Expert Author Richard Brody
One of the undesirable aspects of our ever-increasingly digital society, and apparent national trend towards limited attention spans, is an over-reliance on catch-phrases, sound-bytes, and other forms of empty rhetoric. In this election cycle, we hear candidates use expressions, such as, Make America Great Again, Break up the Big Banks, Income Inequality, Free Universal Healthcare, and Free College Education. While these might make great sound-bytes or attention-getters, they often never get beyond the rhetorical, and are rarely explained in any detail. Two of the candidates, one on the progressive left, Bernie Sanders, and the other on the right, Donald Trump, have used these approaches to nearly record levels, and done so quite effectively. They have gotten followers to buy-into their rhetoric, and have offered few concrete details about how they would achieve their objectives, nor even, precisely what their phrases fully mean. Therefore, let’s review this concept from the perspective of how each of these two candidates has successfully exploited this approach, etc.
1. Donald Trump: In my lifetime, I have never witnessed a Presidential candidate use name-calling as much as this man! Whether it was saying, Little Marco, Low-energy Jeb, Lying Ted, or now, Crooked Hilary, it attracts attention, albeit in a negative, somewhat nasty way. He has motivated his supporters by stating he would Build A Wall, etc. The amazing aspect is he creates his credibility and credentials, based on how he describes his business career, focusing exclusively on his proclaimed successes, and either not mentioning or distorting somewhat his many less than stellar involvements, such as Trump Airlines, The Plaza, his Paradise Island ownership, Atlantic City casinos, many digibyte exchange nuisance lawsuits, etc. Listen to those who support the man, and you will note they nearly always start by saying how he’ll be able to get things done, because of his successful business career, although a closer evaluation indicates this is not so! What is meant when he says, Make America Great Again, and what exactly is his plan? Oh, excuse me, Mr. Trump’s answer is nearly always, he is very smart, will have the best aides, negotiate, and get it done! Are those details?
2. Bernie Sanders: Bernie’s favorite expressions, such as Income inequality, free universal health care, and free college education, are wonderful motivators to his target audience, but lack substance, because when his plans are more closely evaluated or examined, we tend to witness a lack of essential details, etc. What is meant by income inequality? If it means women should be paid the same as men for the same job, there are already protections built into the law, and therefore, the viable solution, would obviously be, to enforce the law strictly and consistently. If it means, via subsidies, tax structure, etc, assuring people ended up with similar net incomes, regardless of their jobs, success, risks taken, qualifications and performances, doesn’t it make sense, that it would create a society where there was little reason for individuals and/ or businesses, to perform to the maximum of their potential?

Andrew Bacevich
Andrew Bacevich, Professor of International Relations at Boston University and author of Washington Rules: America’s Path to Permanent War, discusses his article “War Fever Subsides in Washington” at; Robert Gates on excessive war costs and the end of “wars of choice;” why the US should eliminate the unnecessary and counterproductive military bases in Europe and the Middle East, respectively, while maintaining those in Japan and South Korea; the failure of militaristic “hard power” foreign policy; the officer corps getting on board with budget cuts and reform; and why current US involvement in Libya is at a peak (no need to worry about purple-finger elections and decades of nation building).
MP3 here. (21:42)
Andrew J. Bacevich is Professor of International Relations and History at Boston University. A graduate of the U.S. Military Academy, he received his PhD in American Diplomatic History from Princeton University.

16 thoughts on “Andrew Bacevich”
1. Why the exception in S. Korea and Japan, regarding the military bases…I lived and worked there as
a "civilian" in 1996 and on…there's no need for the US to be there either!
2. Strongly disagree with Bacevitch about his argument for maintaining bases in Japan and S. K..
he's way off and doesn't understand this part of the world…his work and experience has been in Berlin and Europe in general…
3. "We need the Us military and its bases in this place but not that place."
Stability, stability, blah, blah. This is the same red herring that is used to prop up dictators across the Middle East and Africa. Please, since when do imperialist powers act rationally? Either withdraw ENTIRELY or face bankruptcy. Either way they WILL come home. Take your pick Bacevitch. That is the ONLY option you have.
Either troops will be everywhere or nowhere. The Cold War ended 20 years ago Bacevitch. Has the government acted rationally since then? No. It has only expanded it's reach. THINK please.
4. His CV is absurdly Establishment. You can read thorough analyses of the roots of the American empire by downloading free books written by Charles Tansill, William Henry Chamberlain and John T Flynn at
Murray Rothbard:
"The crucial act in expanding the United States from a republic into an Empire, and in spreading that Empire throughout the world, replacing the sagging British Empire in the process. Our entry into World War II was the crucial act in foisting a permanent militarization upon the economy and society, in bringing to the country a permanent garrison state, an overweening military-industrial complex, a permanent system of conscription. It was the crucial act in creating a Mixed Economy run by Big Government, a system of State-Monopoly-Capitalism run by the central government in collaboration with Big Business and Big Unionism. It was the crucial act in elevating Presidential power, particularly in foreign affairs, to the role of single most despotic person in the history of the world. And, finally, World War II is the last war-myth left, the myth that the Old Left clings to in pure desperation: the myth that here, at least, was a good war, here was a war in which America was in the right. World War II is the war thrown into our faces by the war-making Establishment, as it tries, in each war that we face, to wrap itself in the mantle of good and righteous World War II."
5. O doesn't care what the American people think and will get reelected easily as he'll have all the money corps can shower on him and he'll be running against a batshit crazy person.
6. Sadly, Bacevich cannot psychologically face up to the need for ethical principles — such as the libertarian non-aggression axiom and the consequent policies of non-intervention both domestically and internationally. He lost his son, which gave him pause in a responsive sense, but for him to disavow a lifetime of subservience to the state would be to question the foundation of his very life. Such an action would take more courage than most people in the military are accustomed to exhibit. They are usually more go-along-get-along than the worst “corporation man.” A personality re-do is not in the future for this man, and he will retain the inner conflicts that go along with it.
7. Beggin' the Colonel's pardon, but I disagree with him about U.S. bases in South Korea and Japan. It's time to get the hell out of there, too. Japan and South Korea are more than capable of defending themselves, In any case, it isn't–shouldn't be–up to the U.S. to do it for them.
I hope the Colonel's right about war fever subsiding in the District of Corruption, but I'll believe it when I see it. Remember, O-Bomb-a's a puppet of Israel and of the military industrial complex.
1. US being there is not about protection of Japan nor S.K. It's about the irrational fear of Communism, as if China is a real communist nation. Come on, wake up and smell the coffee or maybe he should go back to Mars. Earth is such a dangerous place for Martians to be.
8. From a coldly analytical standpoint, Iraq has been a modern example of siege warfare. Instead of a surrounded and cut off ancient city-state being pummeled with crude ballistic weapons, we have the modern nation-state; surrounded, cut off, and being pounded with crude ballistic weapons.
9. the Google and at the high PR rank. To make it available at the first page of the Google and at high PR rank the term forum posting, blog posting and social media networking can be used, which are t
10. Zionism is a racist, degenerate philosophy. It's what Israel is all about.
The U.S. Government is effectively under the control of Israel. That's one reason–a big reason–why the U.S. is no longer a viable nation.

Quickie: Bentley acquires Imago for image management
Aug 3, 2021 | Hot Topics
That’s a simplified headline — what Imago really does is enable users to catalog and review drilling core and chip (in other words, rock sample) images. A key point in the acquisition: Imago’s machine learning technology that “will lead to a step function in the interpretation of geological data”.
Imago will become part of Bentley’s Seequent business unit, expanding its “technology solutions portfolio while boosting cloud capabilities to help geoscientists and engineers solve earth, environment, and energy challenges”.
Why does this matter? Because it continues Bentley’s quest to help its clients manage the vast volumes of data they collect — historically, never to use again. I remember at one Bentley event, I got to chatting with someone from a water utility. Nothing big or fancy. He was very excited by Bentley’s soil test result management tools, which he believed would help his municipality manage development, match water use to acquisition and treatment, and optimize what may soon become a scarce resource. I had no idea how complex this is, and how important it is to do it right.
I would imagine geology is much the same: too much data, badly organized, and just filed away. Sounds like Imago can help with that.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

‘Cannabis’ ontologies I: Conceptual issues with Cannabis and cannabinoids terminology
Kenzi Riboulet-Zemouli
December 29, 2020
Identify a coherent nomenclature for Cannabis sativa L. derived products and their analogues.
Research undertaken in parallel to the three-year assessment of Cannabis derivatives by the World Health Organisation. The scope is limited to Cannabis products intended for human incorporation (internal and topical consumption). Primarily embedded in pharmacognosy, the study incorporates a wide range of scholarly and grey literature, folk knowledge, archives, pharmacopœias, international law, field pharmacy, clinical and herbal medicine data, under a philosophical scrutiny. Generic and Cannabis-specific nomenclatural frames are compared to determine the extent to which they coincide or conflict.
All lexica reviewed use weak, ambiguous, or inconsistent terms. There is insufficient scientific basis for terms and concepts related to Cannabis at all levels. No sound classification exists: current models conflict by adopting idiosyncratic, partial, outdated, or utilitarian schemes to arrange the extraordinarily numerous and diverse derivatives of the C. sativa plant. In law and policy, no clear or unequivocal boundary between herbal and non-herbal drugs, nor natural and synthetic cannabinoids was found; current nomenclatures need updates. In science, the botanical Cannabis lexicon overlooks parthenocarpy, and wide disagreement remains as to the taxonomy and systematics of the plant; chemical research should address differences in kinds between synthetic cannabinoids; pharmacopœias include little information related to Cannabis, and disagree on broader classes of herbal medicines, virtually failing to embrace many known Cannabis medicines. Since existing products and compounds fail to be categorised in an evidence-based manner, confusions will likely increase as novel cannabinoid compounds, genetic and biotechnological modifications surge.
The lack of clarity is comprehensive: for patients, physicians, and regulators. This study proposes an update of terms at several levels. It points at gaps in morphological descriptions in botany and pharmacognosy and a need for a metaphysical address of cannabinoids. Methods of obtention are identified as a common criterion to distinguish products; the way forward suggests a mutually exclusive nomenclatural pattern based on the smallest common denominator of obtention methods. In the context of a swelling number of Cannabis products being consumed (be it via medical prescription, adult-use, ‘hemp’ foodstuff and cosmetics, or other purposes), this study can assist research, contribute to transparent labelling of products, consumer safety and awareness, pharmacovigilance, medical standards of care, and an update of prevention and harm reduction approaches. It can also better inform regulatory policies surrounding C. sativa, its derivatives, and other cannabinoid-containing products.

Chad Kimball puts his own spellbinding spin on a 1950s rock deejay in 'Memphis.'
Chad Kimball puts his own spellbinding spin on a 1950s rock deejay in 'Memphis.' (Corkery/News)
The show has been seen in various stages since 2003 and has finally landed on Broadway.
The plot follows Huey Calhoun (Chad Kimball), a hillbilly-type in love with rhythm and blues who becomes a popular deejay and TV dance-show host. Based on actual disk jockeys, Huey is rash and sorta crazy, prone to shouting the nonsensical, if joyful, "Hockadoo" as he brings black music to white folks like himself in 1950s Memphis.
The show captures an exciting period as tastes moved from vanilla Perry Como and Patti Page to R&B and rock 'n' roll. It was a dangerous time, too; not everyone embraced a color-blind radio dial or world. That includes Huey's ongoing relationship with a black singer, Felicia (Montego Glover), whom he discovers in a Beale St. joint, falls in love with and vows to make a mainstream star.
Director Christopher Ashley ("Xanadu") spins the elements into a gleaming, good-looking production. It flows with cinematic finesse and makes the most of Joe DiPietro's slim, sometimes manipulative book. Sergio Trujillo's choreography has verve and imagination - as when Double Dutch jump roping comments on racial tensions.
Kimball is a walking syllabus of edgy quirks as Huey, which may be unsettling to some. But he sings and moves with such enormous confidence that he drives the whole production. Glover is dazzling as the love interest and crossover singer.
Along with the excellent ensemble, featured actors lend fine support: J. Bernard Calloway, as Felicia's overprotective brother; Michael McGrath, as a savvy radio station owner; Cass Morgan, as Huey's narrow-minded mother, and James Monroe Iglehart, as a burly janitor with a big voice and fleet feet.
"Memphis" doesn't break too much new ground, but it's entertaining and blasts you out the door humming, bopping and happy as all, well, Hockadoo.

Pill with ^
different color (pink and yellow) round flat pill (looks like Tums) has a ^ above a P and 043 below the P ## What is it? I am trying to find the name of it with only having looked at it... ## Watson Pharmaceuticals lists this as being a Cal-Gest tablet, which contains 500mgs of Calcium Carbonate, it is most commonly used to treat GERD, heart burn, ulcers, and gastritis. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dry mouth, flatulence, and funny taste in mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?
Round yellow pill RP 115
Need to know what this round yellow wafer is that has RP 115 on one side? Thank u. ## Hi Amanda, "RP" sounds like the abbreviation for a product from Rhodes Pharmaceuticals, as they label many of their tablets in this manner. If you have a moment, I'd recommend contacting them directly for more specific details at: rhodespharma.com/get-in-touch NOTE: There have also been other reports of a large, flat, greyish tablet with RP 115 that's reportedly an antacid similar to TUMS. Since yours is yellow and depicted differently, I can only hope these additional clues help narrow down some possibilities. Please post back if you come across any further information.

Found these in my daughters purse, two of them in a baggie that shows a piece of paper made in china, cant be correct wrapper but looks sort of like a over sized tums and tastes sort of minty. I licked the back to see if it tasted medicine like or what I got, minty/tingly ## This is a generic antacid like Tums. I got a roll of these when i was at the airport and had heart burn. They are minty and they do work. ## My research leads me to believe that Guardian Drug Company may be the manufacturer of these pills [hence the letter 'G'], seeing as they make OTC mint flavored Tums, Rolaids and Mylanta tablets. Source: Guardian Drug Company Product List Please note however, that I have not been able to locate a photograph for proof. Hope this helps! ## These G 173 tablets were in a bot...

Antacids with no artificial sugars
I have nighttime acid reflux mostly. The ranitidine works to keep my acid lower but I get very vivid dreams. I try occasional Gaviscon but all these antacids with artificial sugars give me bad gas and are bad for you. They say tums and other antacids would taste too chalky w/o the sorbitol? Too much baking soda is bad for your kidneys... PPIs are generally bad for you. My head is elevated and I don't have any food or drinks for 3 hrs. before bed. Any ideas on a safe antacid for nighttime GERD? ## Hi Trish, Sorry to hear about your condition with GERD. My dad has a similar problem and also doesn't eat or drink a few hours before bedtime. He was also searching for an alternative and I found a natural product containing apple cider vinegar and raw manuka honey that solves his acidi...

Other treatments for acid reflux
Hi, I suffer with chronic heart burn and would like to know what else i could use. I've tried tums. I can eat a whole bottle and it doesn't help. I've also tried 150mg ranitidine which doesn't help. I've tried everything over the counter and it still doesn't seem to help. What else can i do to stop this heart burn? ## Hello, Stephanie! How are you doing? Has there been any change? Have you consulted your doctor? There are prescription products that you can try, as well as higher doses of some of the over the counter products, but only with your doctor's approval, according to FDA reports. What types of foods do you eat? Have you tried changing your diet? Drinking more water? Staying away from anything spicy and acidic? Sometimes only lifestyle changes will he...

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

This new service will deliver smoothie ingredients to your home every week
There's no shortage of make-at-home meal delivery kits that include everything you'll need to cook dinner at home. And now, there's a make-at-home smoothie delivery service. And yes, it's all organic, non-GMO and vegan.
Green Blender is a smoothie delivery service that started on the East Coast and has just expanded to Los Angeles. Once you join the club, you're delivered five smoothie recipes and enough ingredients to make 10 12-ounce smoothies each week.
The ingredients are portioned, so all you'll need is a blender, some water and ice.
The company was started by Amir Cohen and Jenna Tanenbaum. Tanenbaum is the author of the New York fitness blog Urban Fitopia and also worked in marketing at ClassPass, the popular fitness-class membership program.
Like many of the make-at-home meal delivery services, Green Blender is a subscription service. You can purchase a 12-box subscription priced at $39 a box, a four-box subscription priced at $44 a box, or a week-to-week subscription priced at $49 a box.
Some of the smoothies include honey bok choy made with baby bok choy, honeydew, kiwi, pomegranate powder and cashews; an orange ginger smoothie made with spinach, tangerines, banana, ginger, mesquite and hemp seeds; and a chocolate peanut butter "milkshake" smoothie made with banana, jicama, avocado, peanut butter and cacao powder.
There are times when you skip to get a smoothie after the gym in your workout clothes. Then there are times when you're hungover in bed and you just wish a smoothie fairy would magically appear in your doorway. This is for the latter.

Rise: Future Worlds Book One
All Rights Reserved ©
I contemplated Mortac's words long after we returned to our quarters. He had admitted at my insistence that he felt it safer to keep us separated in case Colvinra tried any tricks. When I declared that didn't matter, he moved us to adjoining quarters that shared a common space. The only entrance out of the living area remained locked, of course. We found four rooms off this suite, each with a single bed. Donovan and I spent the rest of that day together, discussing what had happened. Suyef, it turns out, was as quiet as Quentin had described him to be. Donovan hadn't managed to get more than a few words from him. I didn't tell my brother everything Quentin and I had discussed. I'm not sure why. Donovan was all the family I had left, but I felt if he knew Quentin and I had talked, he might get a bit defensive.
Soon after that, we all went to sleep. We saw no one the next day save for a guard delivering nutrient packs. He ignored any attempt to talk. So, we waited, the next day passing as the previous had. On the third day, the four of us sat in silence as we consumed the nutrient packs delivered moments before. After eating, I pulled my legs up underneath me and eyed my roommates.
"You're quiet," I said to Quentin.
"So are you. I thought you wanted to be. You didn’t seek either of us out."
I shrugged. "Maybe. It's a lot to take in."
Quentin nodded, finishing off his nutrient pack with water from his cup. "I'm sorry you didn't find them."
"It was a slim chance anyway." I looked at the only window in the room, a mottled glass skylight above the table in the center of the open space that let in a bit of core-light. "Shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. It never ends well."
I could feel his eyes on me. "You've lost a lot. It's hard to be hopeful, considering."
I sighed, eyes still on the window. "For a moment, back there, when I saw Colvinra and again when I thought of the people kept here, I felt it, just a bit. Like a flower peeking out above the snow." I chuckled. "Stupid flower. Forgot about the spring freeze."
"It's never stupid to have hope," Quentin whispered.
I shifted my head to look at him. "It hasn't helped me any."
Donovan grunted what sounded like agreement.
"Granted, you've got reason to have lost most of it." Quentin shrugged. "But there's always reason for a little hope."
"Why? What will I gain except a bit more disappointment?"
"Your father?" Quentin asked.
"Hoping isn't getting me any closer to him."
"Nor any farther away."
I shook my head, looking back at the window. "So it's doing nothing."
"You'll find him."
"I wish I could believe that," I whispered.
Quentin didn't answer. He leaned his elbows on the table, hands folded in front of his face. Suyef, having finished eating, moved to sit on one of the room's fabric-covered couches. Donovan remained sitting near me, for which I felt not a little bit of gratitude.
"Why do you care, anyway?" I asked.
Quentin looked down at the floor a long moment before answering.
"I don't know. I just do." He looked up at me. "Maybe because you don't. Maybe I'm just being stubborn or contrary. Someone's got to have a little faith around here."
I stared at him. "I don't even have that anymore. What's there to believe in if I keep losing the things I had faith in?"
Donovan grunted at me. "I'm still here."
"You know what I mean," I said, smiling and squeezing his arm as I looked back at Quentin. "Well?"
"Family can't be taken from you just because they're gone," he said. "Otherwise, no one would ever leave home."
"There's a difference," I said with a little more heat than I intended, "between going out in the world and having your mother, father, sister and brother forcefully removed from your life. Forever."
Quentin held up a finger. "You don't know they're all gone forever."
"My sister and mother are."
"You don't even know that much," he stated, folding his hands. "All you have is the word of-"
"Seekers," Donovan finished for him.
"Actually, it was the warden who said it, and he's not a Seeker."
I glared at Quentin. "Fine, but Seekers like you took them, and then they vanished."
"I told you before I'm not a Seeker." He plucked at the robe he wore. "I'm just borrowing the uniform to find something."
"Me?" I asked. "Everyone else seems to be looking for me. You two, as well?"
"No, but our search did lead us to you, so if you count that…" He shrugged. "We weren't looking for you."
"If I recall, you knew my father was gone."
He nodded. "Once our search brought you to our attention, our Seeker access allowed us to learn more about you. That's when we saw the arrest report ordered for your father and the subsequent report to find and detain you." He pursed his lips in thought. "The odd thing is the reports were written the same day, but they somehow got mixed up so that your father was detained well before you."
"Why is that odd?" I asked, shifting my back into a more comfortable position and rolling my shoulders back to fix my posture.
"The order to detain your father went to the right outpost," he replied. "The one to arrest you, which didn't mention your brothers, by the way. They were only interested in you. Anyway, that order went to an outpost on the far side of the shell. It took several days for them to discover their error.”
"How did they make a mistake like that?" I asked. "That seems very incompetent."
Quentin nodded. "And very un-Seeker like. They're the model of efficiency. It's either a rare case of incompetence in their ranks, or someone didn't want you detained too early."
I stared at him. "That's a large leap of logic."
"We thought the same thing." Quentin nodded at his companion. "Suyef said I was jumping to conclusions when I suggested that a few days before we found you."
"Maybe he's right?" I offered.
"It's possible, but I double checked the reports." He shifted forward his chair, leaning across the table. "The destination codes on the original reports are correct, but when they got to the switching node, someone changed the destination code on your detainment order."
A memory bubbled to the surface. My father working on something he wouldn't let me see just a few days before he was taken.
"You know something?" Quentin asked, eyes on mine, eyebrows raised.
A strand of red fell across my eye and I pushed the hair back behind my ear. "Maybe. It's possible my father had something to do with this."
I squeezed my lips together, blowing air out through them as I dredged the memory up. Across the table, Quentin ducked his head down, smothering a smile behind his shirt. I arched one eyebrow at him.
"Care to share what's so funny?" I asked, waving a hand at him to talk, head shifting slightly to match the motion.
He shook his head, dropping his shirt back down. "Nothing, it's just your thinking face is a bit, well, comical."
I scrunched my nose at him and returned to my thoughts. "Where did you say the switching node was?"
"I didn't, but it's a primary node from the main citadel to your settlement. Your father could have been monitoring it." He spread his hands. "Considering what else you two were up to, that wouldn't surprise me."
My eyes narrowed. "What else were we up to?"
"Stealing water; we discussed this already," he said.
"Yes, I recall you saying you were very good at finding information on the network."
He shrugged. "It's a talent, not one that's been very helpful in finding what we're looking for." He looked up at me. "Then again, you never know what you'll find when you go looking."
I rolled my eyes and waved him to continue.
"Anyway, I told you already that we found what you were doing with the water quotas. Ingenious solution, that one."
"You said that before."
He nodded. "I meant it. Simplest way to get around a massive amount of coding is to alter just enough to get what you need from it rather than try to change the whole thing." He leaned farther forward, beckoning me closer. "Thing is, all you and your father did was undo what someone else had already done."
I leaned over the table. "What do you mean?"
"Someone else beat you two to the punch. They altered the code to decrease the water flow leading to your shortage."
"And when we went in to make our change...” I said, trailing off.
"You simply undid their handiwork." He shrugged with his eyebrows. "As I said, ingenious solution you two stumbled on, and even more so because it revealed the original alteration to the code."
"And this information helped you?" I asked.
He nodded. "A bit. It showed us the code could be altered just so. Once we saw what you did, we went looking for more and found the original changes." He looked down at the floor. "We found that while we waited for your Seeker escort to get enough of a head start before we followed later. It's how we missed the dragon raid."
The thought of the raid brought Maryn back to the surface. A deep sadness welled up inside me, threatening to overwhelm me. To distract myself, I waved a hand at him and took a deep breath.
"You being there would have made no difference."
"Still, I'm sorry we couldn't help save your brother."
I tried to smile at him but failed. I didn't feel it.
"I appreciate the thought." My mind returned to the puzzle he'd revealed. "Why would someone want to steal our water?"
"And now you come upon what we've been looking for," Quentin said. "Well, in part."
"There's more?"
He nodded, but said nothing.
"You going to tell me?"
He shrugged. "I'm not entirely sure I'm at liberty to say. Part of this is for Suyef to decide."
I nodded, sitting upright and craning my neck to one side, then the other, in a stretch. "I understand that much."
Quentin eyed me for a moment, lips pursed and fingers tapping together. "Still, I don't think he would have that much issue with you knowing. Else, he would speak up, right?"
The last comment he directed at his companion, who made no move to respond.
I held up a hand to forestall him. "I don't need to know."
Quentin held his gaze on Suyef, eyes narrowing and his lips pursed to one side. After a moment, he nodded.
"If he had a problem, he'd say so. We're here for two reasons. One, to find out what is wrong with the network. The water problem is one example of it. There are more." He leaned toward me, his voice lowering. "Beyond that, we're searching for the only man who may have knowledge of how Suyef's father died, and how mine almost perished twenty years ago."
"You think he's here?" I asked, waving my hand around at the outpost.
Quentin shook his head. "Not here at this prison. But on this shell, yes."
"So how does getting entangled with us help you figure that out?" Donovan interjected.
Before Quentin could answer, the lights flickered off, plunging us into darkness.
"Wait, the lights turned off?" I asked, interrupting Micaela's narrative.
"Completely dark."
"Isn't that impossible in an Ancient facility?" I asked.
She nodded. "Which is why even Colberrans, with all their misplaced hate for the Ancients, haven't been able to wean themselves from it. Ancient technology is nothing if not dependable."
"Misplaced hate," I repeated her words. "Why do you say that?"
She shrugged. "They are misinformed, as most are in this age beyond the dragon circles. Even the Nomads, for all their knowledge of what goes on down here near the core, have lost much of what was recorded about the distant past."
"I've done my own work into that field of research," I muttered, shaking my head. "The data just isn't there anymore. Even in a computer as powerful as the network."
"Isn't there at all?" she asked, arching an eyebrow at me.
I opened my mouth to retort, then paused. "You know something I don't?"
"Merely that, if you look over your notes, you'll remember why Quentin and Suyef were even on Colberra in the first place."
"The network wasn't working right, they claimed," I said without looking. "Or they just thought it was because they couldn't find the data they wanted to."
"I once believed it was that simple," she whispered, eyes moving to stare out the window. "That the data was just gone."
"What changed your mind?"
She chuckled, a slight thing that only just shook her body. "I saw a ghost."

L7 Henrietta Lacks (Medical ethics)
Questions to ponder after reading the story of Hela cell: Controversies in medicine
Medical advances like gene therapy, cloned replacement organs, stem-cell therapy, life-extension technologies, the promised spin-offs from genomics and tailored medicine have motivated medical scientists to look at the ethical issues arising from this progress. Here are some controversial medical issues for you to ponder.
(*Medical ethics: trying to do the right thing while achieving the best possible outcome for every patient)
1. Organ transplantation
It literally means “planting” when the organ (rare, multiple organs) is removed from one body and is placed into another (donor—recipient interaction) in order to replace the recipient’s damaged body part.
2. Euthanasia
This word is composed of two Greek roots and means “good death.” In its common meaning, euthanasia is aimed to terminate the life of those people suffering from debilitating diseases.
3. In vitro fertilization
In 1978, the first child was born using test-tube techniques. This practice gave hope to thousands of people to have their own biological children if their certain medical conditions were prohibiting a couple from having children naturally.
4. Surrogacy
Surrogacy arrangement or surrogacy agreement is the carrying of a pregnancy for intended parents. Intended parents may seek a surrogacy arrangement when either pregnancy is medically impossible, pregnancy risks present an unacceptable danger to the mother's health or is a same sex couples preferred method of procreation.
5. Abortion
6. The Human Genome Project
The Human Genome Project (HGP) is an international scientific research project with the goal of determining the sequence of chemical base pairs which make up human DNA, and of identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome from both a physical and functional standpoint. The possible applications of the project include predicting the development of disease, making possible early intervention to limit the severity of a disease or to use gene therapy to cure inherited disorders.
7. Cloning
8. Plastic Surgery
In the latter part of the 20th century elective plastic surgery—known as cosmetic surgery—became more common, and more popular. Now it is even being requested for adolescents and children, which creates unique ethical difficulties.
9. The right to refuse treatment
The decision not to receive any type of medical treatment, from a simple blood test to deciding to donate your organs after your death must be respected on the condition that you must have the capacity to make that decision. Capacity means the ability to use and understand information to make a decision.
* Pick one issue and discuss with your partner. (Representation: Form a group of three persons. You need to cover a short introduction to the topic and pros and cons for the practice)

Want to Feel Old? You Just Said Something Racist Without Even Realizing It
There’s nothing you can do to stop the ravages of time, but if you really want to feel old, you should definitely think about how you just referred to the deal you got on a new bed as “Jewing down” the associate at Mattress Center.
It seems like the 1990s were only yesterday, doesn’t it? It was a simpler time, back we all had crushes on Topanga, couldn’t stop checking our Tomogachis, and didn’t stop to think of the racially-charged origins of what is now considered flagrantly offensive.
Hard to believe it, but it’s true!
Remember when it seemed like the only things we had to worry about were someone picking up the phone while we were using AOL, or having your friends check your screen during GoldenEye matches on N64? Definitely feels a lot different than retiring a worn-out and extremely offensive phrase from a bygone era.
Kids today will never know the struggle of not immediately using a phrase associated with a thousand years of European anti-Semitism, watering down an entire ethnic identity to a pervasive and negative stereotype to describe how they got a great deal on a mattress and box spring.
Times have changed! You’re going to feel really old when you see how much society has moved on from other hateful things, like using the word ‘gay’ as a pejorative. Want to really feel like a dinosaur? Kids today don’t use the word ‘tranny,’ even when describing an automobile’s transmission.
Be careful out there, gramps! With increased age comes an increased risk of shattering your hip after sticking your foot in your mouth and not realizing that turn of phrase you just uttered is now considered horribly offensive. Better stock up on Metamucil to help redirect the shit from your mouth to where it belongs.

Beyond the Quadrangle
By Kate Pluth ’12, Copy Editor
Instead of bringing the same news to you that you can read about every day, we thought we’d share with you snapshots of out-of-the-ordinary, weird, cool and just plain wacky stories you wouldn’t necessarily read otherwise.
Students attending University of California, Merced are living in the lap of luxury on a budget. Their lack of on-campus housing is abated by a surplus of empty mansions. Housing communities in the area, overbuilt due to the recession, were made available for students’ use. So, after studying in a double- height living room and eating in a chandeliered dining room, these lucky ducks can take a dip in their Jacuzzis to decompress. (New York Times)
How honored would you feel if you were born at 11:11 on 11/11/11? Just ask the newborn Jacob Anthony Saydeh, who entered the world at precisely that time in Mount Holly, New Jersey. But wait—it gets better. This serendipitous moment occurred on Veterans Day, and it just so happens that Jacob’s mother is an Air Force veteran. His father is currently in the Air Force. (Associated Press)
In Portland, a man faces criminal charges for watching television. Apparently, he forgot that entering someone else’s home—also known as trespassing—to plop in front of their television is not legal. A family member who confronted the uninvited guest on behalf of the homeowner knocked him unconscious with a blow to the head. (Associated Press)
Qatar is feelin’ jazzy in its rise to being a cultural center in the Middle East. Jazz at Lincoln Center, a celebrated nonprofit jazz organization centered at its club in New York City, will be making its first expansion by opening a jazz club in a new $1 billion luxury hotel in Doha. (New York Times)

Can I talk to you about my 8 yr old DD? UTIs etc
(6 Posts)
hutchblue Tue 22-Jan-13 10:50:28
Occasionally you can get a clear result with dipstick testing when you do actually have an infection. That happened to me. It doesn't pick up every single type of bacteria. If the symptoms continue, make sure that the urine is sent off for analysis, preferably before you start antibiotics - not always possible, I know.
hutchblue Tue 22-Jan-13 10:40:59
Yes, please do try to remind your DD to go to the loo when she needs to, not to hold it. Holding strains the sphincter more and holds urine in there for longer than necessary, making a UTI, once again more likely.
Also, frequent urination can become a bit of a habit which causes more frequent urination, I would really suggest both of you google all as many terms as possible, like 'stress incontinence', 'frequent urination' 'weak sphincter in the uretha' 'overactive bladder' etc etc. There's also a bladder online help group called
www.cobfoundation.org/ there are some really helpful people on there.
One way to make sure when you do go and see a doctor that you get what you want and every test that you want, is by doing everything is can to become as educated as possible in whatever condition you're experiencing - and coming on here is a great way to start that process and going to COB and places such as that are also useful.
With the D mannose, the moment she feels something coming on, you take a level teaspoon. Sometimes, that can be enough to ward off anything further. It's best taken on an empty stomach with enough liquid for it to filter into the bladder, but not so much that the bladder is full really quickly and it's too dilute. Well, that's what works for me...
Also, you can buy dipsticks yourself and start diagnosing much earlier than waiting for a GP appointment
Try here: www.amazon.co.uk/Urine-Infection-Test-Parameter-strips/dp/B00239EL8I/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1358850894&sr=8-3
Take these in the next time your DD has an infection and ask the doctor or a nurse to teach you how to use them so you know what to look for. It's very simple really, takes a few minutes.
Good luck with it all, really hope you get it sorted.
Harumff Tue 22-Jan-13 09:38:21
Thanks for all the advice, hutchblue, it's really helpful. We've been told some of those things but not all.
The tip on double-voiding sounds like a good one. Rather than going to the toilet many times a day with a weak bladder, I think she actually holds it too long - though with the damp knickers constantly she's obviously not managing to fully hold it that well!
She did have an ultrasound about two years ago but i don't think they checked her voiding - she had to have a full bladder throughout and they checked everything and said it was fine at the time.
She hasn't previously had prophylactic antibiotics but that's the plan this time - a 10 day course now then prophylactic from then until the doctor sees her after her scan results (about 2 months they reckon).
We were also told to give her probiotic yoghurt drinks, cranberry juice (which i'm now doubting!) and to shower her 'bits' daily rather than a bath.
I just hope the antibiotics do the job and i get my spritely girl back!
Faresplease, sorry you're having problems with your DD too, it can get really frustrating at times!
FaresPlease Mon 21-Jan-13 20:41:14
Will be watching this thread with interest. My DD is 6, and has some of the issues u describe OP.
No bed-wetting but I often notice her pants are a tiny bit damp/odour of urine, and she's always sort of 'fixing' herself, adjusting her underwear etc. She'll complain of feeling uncomfortable or 'weird' down below, or sometimes tummy pain. I have had her checked for a UTI before but she was all clear.
She goes to the toilet a MILLION times a day - before we eat dinner,
before a tv programme starts, before we go out to play, before a car
journey no matter how short etc etc, - I'd always put this down to just habit, or simply her personality (likes order, routine, and a bit highly strung!!!) but after seeing this thread I think I'll take her to the doctor again.
hutchblue Mon 21-Jan-13 20:22:36
Oh your poor daughter and you. UTIs are really horrible things.
I have had enough to know how grim it can be.
Just some simple things to run through - perhaps you've already been told but
1) does she 'empty' properly - have you been told that she must empty properly before leaving the loo? There's something called double-voiding that can help where you go the loo and then come back 30 seconds later after a little walk to make sure that everything has come out. Urine sitting in the bladder for long periods through bad voiding can quickly lead to a UTI. Double voiding helps avoid this.
2) has she been put on a prophylactic antibiotic for a period of time to keep the UTIs away? when I had a series of infections, I was put on trimethoprim for 3 months, one every night before sleep so that the bacteria didn't have a chance to grow in my bladder overnight when the urine is sitting there for a long period. When you've had a series of infections, the lining of the bladder, which is covered in a sort of protective slime, gets eroded and then it's very easy for more bacteria to get in. By taking a prophylactic course of antibiotics over a period of months, she allows her bladder lining to heal, thereby making re-infection less likely.
3) Stress test for her sphincter - it sounds like she may have a weak sphincter down below that is leaking urine - but I'm no doctor, it needs checking properly. But that might mean she never really knows when she needs to wee or not as her bladder is never that full? This then becomes tricky with the urine remaining constantly in place and never fully 'gushing' out, which is what washes the bacteria away from the opening of the urethra. This is just my opinion - really needs backing up medically - but it's an idea to. Perhaps you could get her to void and then double void when you know she's recently had plenty to drink, like 1 to 1.5 hours later.
4) something I took which I really recommend and helps with inflammation and bladder infection is waterfall d mannose. It's not cheap, at about £20 a bag. It's probably best to get just one or two bags to begin with. My consultant offered me this or another prophylactic course of antibiotics about 10 years ago. I went for the mannose D. It does help a lot of people - but not everyone.
5) give up acidic fruits and foods. Many people say drink cranberry juice but I don't agree. Just a sniff of the stuff can be enough to give me twinges. It's too harsh for a poorly bladder to cope with, the acid is irritating.
6) mostly it sounds like it's physical. She needs a stress test of some sort to evaluate what's going on - did you have an ultrasound where they checked her voiding?
Really hope this might help and you get to the bottom of it all soon. x

Hi all, this is my first post but i've been a serial lurker for a while.
I don't have a specific question really, just wanted to get down what's been going on with my DD and see if anyone had any similar experiences.
Right from the start she had 'wee issues' - potty training was a nightmare and she wet the bed frequently til she was about 6. Around age 6 she also had a couple of UTIs and the GP sent us to have an ultrasound to check everything was ok and it was. They also gave us advice on the bedwetting etc and things slowly improved and we had a good year or so when the bedwetting was infrequent and i didn't notice any UTI symptoms (though to be honest she didn't have classic symptoms, e.g. fever, pain on weeing anyway).
Then last year she started having problems again - wetting the bed sometimes a few times a week then sometimes going a few weeks without wetting at all. She also regularly has 'damp' knickers during the day though rarely wets herself fully. The thing that really drew my attention though was the weird smell her wee had so last summer we went back to the GP and they tested and found she had a UTI again.
In the last 6 months she has had 4 positive tests and 4 lots of antibiotics and so got referred back to the hospital for an appointment which was yesterday. The Dr was great in that he has referred her for a renal scan (the type where they inject with a radioactive substance and then take pictures) to see if there's anything causing her problems. The only problem i had with him is I didn't think he was listening to all the other things I was telling him aside from the UTIs and I wanted to know if these were related as she didn't have these symptoms first time round. I guess we'll find out in time if the UTIs are resolved but it's niggling away at me. The other things she has been complaining of in the last 6 months are:
- bouts of tummy pains and feeling but not being sick (usually for a day or two every 3-4 weeks)
- aching legs that make her cry
- sore eyes
- general tiredness and whinginess
- occassional headaches
e.g. on saturday tea-time she started sobbing that she felt 'horrible' with all of the above and was teary for a couple of hours. But then went to bed and was fine all day yesterday. She has an infection at the minute so maybe that's causing it?
Sorry this is long, does this all sound like it's caused by the UTIs to you?
Thanks grin)

North Korea Fires Scud-Class Ballistic Missile, Japan Protests
Michael Penn, president of the Tokyo-based Shingetsu news agency, told Al Jazeera that North Korea's latest missile test was part of an effort to strengthen its military against any possible threats from the U.S.
In their final communiqué, Abe and Trump - along with the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom - said North Korea "increasingly poses new levels of threat of a grave nature to worldwide peace and stability ... through its repeated and ongoing breaches of global law".
On Sunday, US Defense Secretary James Mattis warned that a conflict with North Korea would be "catastrophic".
North Korea is still thought to be several years from its goal of being able to target USA mainland cities with a nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile.
A woman watches a TV screen showing a file footage of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, at Seoul Train Station in Seoul, South Korea, Monday, May 29, 2017.
The short-range ballistic missile traveled an estimated 248 miles, splashing down within Japan's exclusive economic zone, an area of sea where commercial ships are known to operate, according to statements from both the Japanese government and the South Korean military. North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile that.
The ministry said that the two sides agreed to sternly deal with the North's provocations in cooperation with the United Nations, the United States and South Korea.
Three previous similar tests happened a week ago. North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile that landed in Japan's maritime economic zone Monday, officials said, the latest in a string of test launches as the North seeks to build nuclear-tipped ICBMs that can reach the US mainland.
Kim Jong-Un has sought to ramp up North Korea's nuclear programme under his rule, saying the regime needs atomic weapons to defend itself against the threat of invasion.
April 16: North Korea fires a missile off its east coast, but the launch apparently fails.
North Korea, however, already has a strong arsenal of reliable short-range missiles.
The ultimate objective of North Korea's nuclear and missile program is to secure the capability to hit the United States with a nuclear-equipped missile, which will ensure the regime's survival and give it greater negotiating power.

Giant (Beastmen) is a Beastmen monster unit in the Beastmen Total War: Warhammer downloadable content. Giants attack the enemy in a rage, with flailing limbs that break both man and machine apart.
Giants are monstrous humanoids with boundless strength and a prodigious appetite for violence, flesh, and alcohol. They are most often encountered in the far north of the world, being fond of cold, rocky climates. However, some do make the deep forest their homes, whilst others descend from lairs in the World's Edge or Middle Mountains to join bands of Beastmen. Those that live in the forest are a particularly vile example of their breed. Their skin is often covered in green and brown mould, fungus and moss, whilst their long beards are matted and tangled with ivy and creepers. Giants do not make common cause with the warherds, instead following in their wake, joining in with the slaughter and slaking their hunger on cattle and their thirst on looted barrels of ale. Occasionally one of the forest-dwellers might be bound to the will of a shaman by way of dark arts. Such a beast, emerging from the trees, trailing rotting litter, swathed in twisting vines and stinking of rank, woodland decay is enough to fill superstitious soldiers with heart-stopping horror.
• No Forest Penalty: Large units do not suffer penalties when moving through forest, simply smashing through the undergrowth instead.
• Causes Terror: This unit can cause terror, making its melee target rout for a short time. Units that cause terror are immune to terror and fear themselves.

Christmas in New York
If you are looking for the ultimate shopping trip, then why not head over to New York for a long weekend break. Leaving on Thursday and returning on Monday is enough time for you to have a day shopping and a day exploring this breath taking city in America. Although the flight time is quite long, if you can get one at night, you will be able to sleep for most of it, feeling refreshed for when you arrive.
Trips to New York are not cheap, mostly due to the cost of the flight, but around Christmas many tour operators put on offers for short weekend breaks from the UK.
Remember that you only have a certain amount of luggage allowance, and if you exceed this you may be charged, so be sure to travel light and not buy too much unless you are willing to pay to bring it home.

• Birthplace Of Rum
You are here
Discover more on
Birthplace of Rum
The history of rum in Barbados and Barbados itself are forever entwined, with neither narrative complete without the other. It is believed that rum is the oldest distilled spirit in the world. And whether or not that is true, it is most certainly the oldest distilled spirit in Barbados.
First made 370 years ago from the sugar cane that populated the island, Barbados rum soon found favour with many English sailors who, as legend tells it, offered their bounty of rum as proof that they had crossed the Atlantic. But it wasn’t until 1703, when Mount Gay Rum began distilling the oldest brand of rum in existence, that the world would come to recognise Barbados as the true birthplace of rum.

The Cuban Missile Crisis, also known as the October Crisis of 1962 , was a 13-day (October 16–28, 1962) confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union initiated by Soviet ballistic missile deployment in Cuba. The confrontation is often considered the closest the Cold War came to escalating into a full-scale nuclear war.
In response to the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion of 1961 and the presence of American Jupiter ballistic missiles in Italy and Turkey, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev agreed to Cuba's request to place nuclear missiles on the island to deter a future invasion. An agreement was reached during a secret meeting between Khrushchev and Fidel Castro in July 1962, and construction of a number of missile launch facilities started later that summer.
Meanwhile, the 1962 United States elections were under way, and the White House had denied charges for months that it was ignoring dangerous Soviet missiles 90 miles (140 km) from Florida. The missile preparations were confirmed when an Air Force U-2 spy plane produced clear photographic evidence of medium-range (SS-4) and intermediate-range (R-14) ballistic missile facilities.
When this was reported to President John F. Kennedy he then convened a meeting of the nine members of the National Security Council and five other key advisers in a group that became known as the Executive Committee of the National Security Council (EXCOMM). After consultation with them, Kennedy ordered a naval blockade on October 22 to prevent further missiles from reaching Cuba. The US announced it would not permit offensive weapons to be delivered to Cuba and demanded that the weapons already in Cuba be dismantled and returned to the Soviet Union.

Guardsman trooper and Techwraith
1. So mysterious;)
How about those sketches in the background?
2. Thanks! Quick sketching like this is perfect way to try out different poses. Atleast I tend to draw dozen of very small and rough ones, before I even start to think what parts to use, when I begin my designing process. The more detailed sketch always comes later...
3. Hey Jakob,
Glad to see you have unpacked the bits boxes.
I really like the henchman sketch - the pink mohawk and gas mask is a lovely punket look contrasting nicely with the knightly leg armour.
Also like the route you are taking with the ton of purity seals on Falcon Inquisitor. The blue looks good to me.
4. Good to see you back in action, Jakob. Looking forward to seeing your approach with the techwraith.

Surprising Tips and Tricks, And Techniques To Build Muscle Fast
Written by editor on March 3, 2015 Categories: Health and Fitness Tags: ,
It seems a lot of people that work out go for speed over technique. Form and technique are extremely important in muscle building and it is always better to go slow and focus on form, rather than speeding through a workout. Go slow, and ensure that you are doing exercises in the correct manner.
Never skip your warm up exercises when you are working to increase muscle mass. When your muscles become stronger, they'll experience lots of additional stress making them susceptible to injury. By warming up, you can prevent this injury. Don't do any heavy lifting until after you've done some light exercising for five or ten minutes, followed by a few light to moderate sets to get warmed up.
Don't forget carbohydrates when you are working out. Carbohydrates provide the fuel that your body is going to use during your muscle-building exercises. If you are short of them, your body will derive energy from the protein in your diet instead of using it to grow muscle tissue. If you take in enough carbs, your body will function at a higher level during workouts.
Mix up your muscle building routine. Workout routines can become boring over time, which may keep you from sticking with it. Vary your workouts so you have different exercises and muscle groups worked every time. By keeping your workouts new and different, you will stay interested in and committed to your muscle-building routine. Read my bowflex revolution review to uncover a great home gym that you can use at home to strengthen different parts of your body.
There are tricks to looking like you are bigger. Do so by putting more emphasis on your upper body, back, chest and shoulders. When you do this, your waist will look smaller, and the rest of you will look bigger.
Cheating a bit when lifting can help you maximize your workout. Getting in a few more reps by putting a certain portion of your body to work is a good way to ramp up your exercises. You don't want to cheat a lot, though. Your rep speed should be controlled. Do not compromise on your form when you are doing your reps.
A great idea when trying to build muscle mass is to eat protein rich foods before and after your exercise routine. your exercise routine, a great idea when trying to build muscle mass is to eat protein rich foods. Bodybuilders have determined that eating 15 grams of protein before you begin your workout and 15 grams once you finish produces the best results. This is about the same as one or two cups of milk.
An effective muscle building workout routine should make you stronger. This will result in your ability to lift weights that are heavier. So, if you are a beginner, every couple of workouts should see you lifting approximately 5% more weight. If you find that you are not having success, try to figure out what you're doing wrong. Perhaps your muscles have not recovered from your previous sessions yet.
If you have muscle groups that hold you back in certain exercises, consider pre-exhausting. As an example, you may find that your bicep muscles fatigue earlier than your lats when doing rows. Try performing exercises that allow you to isolate certain muscles in order to avoid having to use the muscles that are keeping you from completing your reps. Therefore, you will pre-exhaust your lats. When it is time to perform rows, you shouldn't be limited by your biceps.
To increase your muscle-building efforts, focus on getting the most from bicep curls. During a typical biceps curl, you don't receive the most benefit from the upper part of the curl because you failed in moving the bar or the dumbbell past the parallel point. However, the top half is the strongest part of a bicep curl. You can fix this by doing seated barbell curls.
Be careful to keep your muscle building goals reasonable when you begin your program. Hundreds of workouts will be required to achieve good results. Trying to speed up the process with steroids and stimulants, and other questionable substances can have detrimental effects on your body and overall health.
Creatine could be helpful. Creatine can help you to train harder and longer when you add it to a diet full of proteins and carbohydrates. Discuss taking Creatine with your doctor to see if it is the right thing to do.
Working out with friends and family, who care about you, is a good way of keeping your motivation at the gym. They are there to offer you positive encouragement and will give you adrenaline which can help maximize your potential. This energy boost will help you build more muscle.
You should cease your workout immediately if you experience pain. Tendons and muscles are very fragile, and you should never push these to the limit for the sake of gaining muscle. If you feel any pain or are sore, take some time off, allowing your body to regain its strength.
Mix up your workout between weight machines and free weights. Free weights are a great way to build muscle rapidly. Whether you choose to start with free weights or a weight machine, begin with lower weights and more repetitions. If you are a newbie bodybuilder, lift weights using both machines and free weights so you don't make a habit of using only machines.
You must have learned that the many things that play a role in your overall muscle building success are relatively easy to incorporate into your day.
