This fun game is about a nesting sea turtle. To begin, two circles are drawn: one small and one large. The person playing the protector sits or squats in the center circle and spreads about 15-20 eggs (pebbles) around them. Everyone sings the song two times as the protector guards the eggs and the fishermen walk around the outer circle as if stalking. At the end of the song, the fishermen attempt to take the eggs without being touched by the protector. Eggs are considered successfully taken when they are all collected outside the outer circle. If the protector of the eggs touches one of the fishermen, then the protector wins. The role of protector then is replaced by the fisherman who was caught. Conversely, if the fishermen manage to take all the eggs, then the group of fishermen win. In this case, the protector returns and continues in their role or the group can decide to select a new protector.

2. Zeus

Zeus Draw
Zeus Draw
Zeus is an Alpha-Class Bio-Android developed by Systems Corp., and one of the three elite bio-weapons created at Genetics Research Building A, the others being Poseidon and Hades. He was deployed alongside Hades to hunt and kill Project 154. He is defeated by the player in Thing-Thing 2.
Unlike Poseidon, Zeus appears to be mostly or completely robotic. His signature weapon is a large rifle (as it appears in Thing-Thing 4, the weapon is almost identical to the Hades Rifle, save for the black barrel) that can pierce multiple targets at once with a single shot.
Zeus is far more difficult to beat than Poseidon - he can deplete a third of the player's life with any attack, and upon nearing him, Zeus knocks the player into the air and shoots at him. During the battle, he jumps around the two platforms that compose the arena. On the top platform, he fires in both directions, making attacking him difficult. In addition, he is aided by Systems Corp. mercenaries, further complicating the battle. He is the only enemy in the game to use a ranged weapon.
• After defeating Zeus in Thing-Thing 2, its head and torso are available for use as a costume.
• During Zeus' death animation, listen carefully when his head explodes, you hear him scream.
• As a matter of fact, that scream comes from Vectorman 2, a run-and-gun platforming video game released for the Sega Genesis video game console in the mid-1990s, which leads to another fact that his boss music (and the sounds he makes when he takes damage) is also from Vectorman 2.
• Zeus is named after the Olympian God of the Sky and Thunder from Greek mythology.
• His rifle (in Thing-Thing 4), along with Hades', used a modified version of the animation model for the FN FAL from Thing-Thing 3.

Trade Depot / Global Trade HQ Time & Advertising 2020 Updates
Trade Depot / Global Trade HQ Time & Advertising Updates
The Global Trade HQ has long been a source of complaints from SimCity fans who find the system annoying. Check the Check the 2020 updates to build a better world this year!
The main problems were initially believed to be the sheer level of demand overloading EA's servers as the app became the most popular SimCity game of all time as well as the fact that the timelock feature reduced players ability to easily search for items.
However, since the last app update there have been two major improvements to each player's Trade Depot functionality and timing:
1. The time limit between advertising new items has now dropped from 5 minutes down to just 1 minute making it easier and quicker to sell your items and generate Simoleons.
2. Even better the length of each item advertising period has also been extended to 12 hours meaning that your Trade Depot items can receive much more publicity on the Global Trade HQ resulting in an increasing chance of more sales and more Simoleons.
This is a great improvement that benefits all SimCity BuildIt players and hopefully there will be more nice surprises to come in future app updates!

Beef with red wine
One of the small criticisms I get writing all this is that it does not reflect well on what actually goes on in the house. The bad temper and general shouting that is inevitable in any place where there are parents and kids spending time together.
I should say that all that goes on. Some of it with bells on. But amidst all that I still do some cooking and pull up the dead weeds in the garden. In fact the cooking is probably a reaction against all the other stuff that goes on. A small way of retaining control and a semblance that I know what I am doing.
So today I made a stew of beef in red wine wine which we ate with slowly cooked red cabbage all of which came from Elizabeth David’s French Provincial Cooking. A desert island book if ever there was one.
Whilst the stew and red cabbage was cooking I made some beer. The first time that I have done it for about twelve years. There is a lot of beer for it to match up to.

Pane Title
Recommended Posts
I have a Gannt chart with 3 panes. I would like to have a title for each pane to display above the chart but it always goes below the chart.
chart.Panes[1].AxisY.Title.Text =
"Test title";
Is there any setting that would move the title on top ?

Ok. I see now.
chart.Panes[1].AxisY.Title.Text = "Test title";
Is setting the title for the Y-Axis of the pane, not the pane itself. The Y-Axis is showing at the bottom of the chart, therefore the title also is.
You have a few options:
1) Use the Chart Titles. For example:
chart.Titles.Add(new Title("TestTitle"));
These titles are not attach to the panes but they can be aligned to the left right or center of the chart.
2) Create a secondary Y-Axis at the top of each of your panes (Axis.Position = AxisPosition.Far), hide the labels and set a title to it. For example:
AxisY axisY = new AxisY();
axisY.Min = 0;
axisY.Max = 1;
axisY.Style |=
axisY.Grids.Major.TickMark =
TickMark.None;axisY.Title.Text = "My Title";

ORGANIZE: from Prototype to Knowledge
The TUNING Toolkit has three sections: BELIEVE, CREATE, and ORGANIZE. In the BELIEVE section, we set goals. In the CREATE section, we collaborated and brainstormed. ORGANIZE is the third and last section of the toolkit. In this section, we will think strategically about what to create and how to launch what you create into the world.
When developing a new product, your team will likely find it difficult to transition from brainstorming and research to prototyping and testing. I’m not sure why this is but it might be a manifestation of fear. While talking about an idea is fun and easy, when we go to build it we are confronted with potential failure. As a mentor I’ve seen it time and again: teams hit a roadblock here. All I can say is know the roadblock is coming and push through it. (You can jump back to the post about “Reclaiming Your Energy” to find tips on managing fear).
The kind of research you did at the beginning, which involved mostly throwing around ideas, will get you only so far. At some point, you’ll need to build a prototype and put it in the hands of the people you are trying to help with it.
The initial prototypes you build provide you a cheap and easy way to decipher which of your ideas work and which don’t. As you figure this out, your prototype will get more refined and more expensive. But to begin, it’s best to keep your prototypes cheap and pliable.
If you are making an app, you can start with paper. If you are making a physical product, you can start with modeling clay and wire. The point here is to start with materials that are quick and cheap, to allow you to explore and test a lot of options. When you test options, you will gather data. Your ultimate goal is to turn that data into knowledge that will, in turn, inform each round of prototypes, so that over time they get better and more focused.
Once you make your first prototype, then you can test it with other people. While early prototypes might be in the hands of testers for an hour or two, later on your more refined prototypes may be in the hands of testers for weeks at a time.
But what are you testing for? You’re testing to find out if your customer is receiving the benefits you set out to deliver.
That all sounds abstract, so let’s walk through an example.
Say I’m designing a new food processor and I’ve decided on a FEATURE I want to build, say, “lightweight.” To turn the DATA I get from testing a lightweight prototype into KNOWLEDGE that informs my next prototype, I need to go into the test with the following points articulated:
1. FEATURE: Lightweight
2. BENEFIT: Product is easy to move, perhaps less expensive
3. ASSUMPTION: “Easy to move” is a benefit my ideal customer cares about more than other benefits
4. TRADEOFF: To make it lightweight, the design will require a smaller, less powerful motor
When I take off my inventor hat and put on my customer hat, I can tell you that I buy a food processor to process food and I want the motor to be powerful enough to do the job. The tradeoff I make as a customer for a heavy machine is counter space–I sacrifice counter space for a powerful motor. I leave the processor out on the counter so that I don’t have to deal with its weight when I want to use it. My lightweight hypothetical prototype, on the other hand, is trading power for maneuverability.
Putting my inventor hat back on, I’ll ask, how do I find the right features for my customer? This process requires a good dose of humility and a lot of testing. Test your prototypes with customers and the truth will emerge. If you watch your customers use your product, you will see the rough spots where the features you’ve designed don’t support the experience you hope to create. And then you can adjust your design accordingly.

REVIEW: Nightmare Alley [1947]
Rating: 8 out of 10.
• Rating: Passed | Runtime: 110 minutes
Release Date: October 28th, 1947 (USA)
Studio: Twentieth Century Fox
Director(s): Edmund Goulding
Writer(s): Jules Furthman / William Lindsay Gresham (novel)
It takes one to catch one.
We always envision ourselves becoming successful. We dream of the big payday. We work towards elevating our status even if it might mean intentionally leaving those who helped us through the process behind. Such aspirations are always attainable because we need to believe our lives can be improved. And then we look at those who are suffering with an upturned nose, quizzically wondering how they could have ever let themselves fall so far as if they had a choice in the matter. Maybe some did, but circumstances are never equal. And privilege is often blinding. We shield ourselves from the failure, insulating our minds from it with a sort of superstitious belief that we can hold it at bay simply by refusing to acknowledge how nothing lasts forever.
It’s not like Stanton ‘Stan’ Carlisle (Tyrone Power) isn’t surrounded by cautionary tales either. Director Edmund Goulding and screenwriter Jules Furthman (from the novel by William Lindsay Gresham) even have him quizzically ask that question at the start of Nightmare Alley in context with the sorry “Geek” at the center of his circus’s most controversial act. How could someone get so low as to let themselves be turned into an animalistic beast willing to eat live chickens for the promise of a bottle of gin once the crowd goes home? Well, Stan is about to find out. Maybe it will be him who stumbles or maybe it will be someone he knows. Either way, it will be a result of his hubristic desire to possess power beyond imagination.
That and his willful ignorance to the prospect that success is only ever temporary. The same greed that pushes regular men and women to take the risks necessary for fame and fortune is ultimately that which clouds their judgment when the time comes to choose between satisfaction and one dice roll too many. He refuses to believe Pete Krumbein (Ian Keith) when he tells him that he wasn’t too far from being a “Geek” himself. Pete was once a co-headliner with the love of his life Zeena (Joan Blondell). They had a priceless verbal code that allowed them to invisibly con a room of strangers into thinking whichever of them was wearing the blindfold could read minds. Hubris broke them apart, leaving them ravaged by guilt and shame.
Now they’re back to their roots in a traveling circus. Zeena looks through her crystal ball at a chalkboard Pete writes supposedly destroyed notes (that Stan collected from the audience) for her to read—when he isn’t passed out drunk. She protects him even as he gets worse and worse, feeling it’s her duty to stand by him when perhaps she didn’t before. Stan looks at them and sees opportunity. If he can get Pete out of the picture (rehab), he might be able to get closer to Zeena and learn the code so they can rekindle that prior success on a larger stage. She’s not averse to the prospect if the Tarot cards declare it a sound one. What happens, though, if triumph’s price demands a sacrifice?
It always does. Winners cannot exist without a few losers and Stan is too cutthroat to care about the latter if he comes out as the former. Death and betrayal become necessities en route to marquee billing. Suddenly Stan and his new wife Molly (Coleen Gray) are the talk of the town in high society. She’s the beauty in the audience distracting everyone who gazes upon her from the very deliberate cadence of her words. He’s the incomparable grifter with enough charm to earn a stranger’s trust and enough courage to know when to take a chance and call someone’s bluff. The more it works, however, the more confident he becomes. If he can dupe wealthy benefactors with parlor tricks, why not up the ante further?
Add the lingering guilt of what he did to reach the top and an enigmatic femme fatale in psychologist Lilith Ritter (Helen Walker) duplicitously earning Stan’s trust as confidant and partner once a lucrative opportunity to expand his reach arrives and his Icarus’ flight skyward is bound to catch fire eventually. The question is whether Stan recognizes it in time or if his false sense of immortality will prove too opaque a barrier to accept that a magician as good as him isn’t immune to falling for the same tricks. And then what? If he’s exposed as the charlatan he is or, worse yet, a rube like all his victims, what purpose is there to continue? To have it all and lose is a tough pill to swallow.
No one should be surprised to discover that Nightmare Alley failed to light up the box office upon release in 1947. It’s a dark tale whose positive discoveries are mere precursors to tragic ends. Using its heroic stars in morally ambiguous roles might not have helped audience anticipation either (Power begged the studio to option Gresham’s novel so that he could break free of typecast roles and dig into something with teeth). Even so, it’s not quite as dark as it could be considering it throws Stan a bone at the end in contrast to the source material. It’s hardly happy, though, when you think about what happened to his end’s thematic counterpart from the start. But the price of karmic retribution shouldn’t be optimistic. Actions have consequences.
The whole is pretty fast paced with multiple time jumps to propel the story forward and leave characters who have served their purposes behind. Once Stan is done with someone, something, or some place, Goulding and company fade to black and refocus the camera elsewhere to continue his journey up (and eventually down). And the lens never leaves his face to ensure everything gets revealed as being a result of his arrogance regardless of whether another player is also acting upon him. The truth of the matter is that no one could dupe him the way he is duped if it wasn’t for his belief that he was untouchable. Zeena said it would end badly and he refused to listen. Unfortunately for him, destiny doesn’t care either way.

I eat a lot of mostly grass-fed beef. I eat a lot of eggs. I've been considering storing the tallow left over from frying my beef and using it instead of butter to fry my eggs.
My main concern with this is that the second heating of the beef tallow may mean a second chance for it to be negatively affected by the heat and degenerate into toxic compounds. Additionally, since I often cook multiple batches of beef in the same meal in sequence, using the tallow on the eggs could mean some of the oil has been heated four times already. I don't think I go over the smoke point when I cook my beef. Do animal fats need to reach their smoke points to degenerate into toxic compounds? Is re-heating beef tallow multiple times a bad decision? Or should I get fresh tallow to apply to the pan each time?
2 Answers
Tallow has a smoke point of around 420 F, so I'm pretty sure you're correct in thinking that you've kept it well below the smoke point. (No harm in using a thermometer next time to see how hot it gets, though!) And yes, tallow (and fat in general) needs to reach its smoke point (or achieve very very very slow oxidation at room temperature) to be toxic. However, the next time you use fat that's already been heated, its smoke point will be lower than it was before. How much lower, I don't know, as it's correlated to how high it was heated to when it was rendered, but it's something to keep in mind. I'd be wary of using tallow that you think has already been heated to high temperatures 4 times, but if I understand your process, then you could pour off the fat (into a filter over a jar or bowl) before you start a new batch of beef to cook, right?
In any case, I think you should be perfectly fine using filtered tallow rendered from frying beef for one more use (provided it doesn't look or smell rancid, obviously).
The problem I have with going by smoke point alone is (1) if you're pan frying/sauteeing it's hard to know exactly how hot it gets, and (2) I've had tallow "go bad" when I measured the temperature at 350F. – Sara S. Jan 19 2012 at 18:02
Yeah, it's not a perfect system; more like a "guide". I'd trust my nose and eyes more than my being pretty sure it didn't reach its smoke point. – OddBallin Jan 19 2012 at 18:35
I could pour it off into a jar before adding more beef rather than re-heating the same tallow with additional beef - I didn't think of that. I definitely recognize the benefits of using one's nose to evaluate the tallow, but on the other hand I'm also inclined to think there's a lot that isn't picked up by our noses. – dav Jan 20 2012 at 6:53
I've found variability in how well my tallow holds up, highly correlated to whether it's from healthy cows or not, strangely, but it could also relate to how hot I've rendered it, with too hot or too low being problematic. I would say to try reusing it, but if it smells or tastes bad, throw it out.
Another option is to mix it into your food after you cook it, so that you don't have any fat leftover, depending on your fat intake goals.

GoPro Lap: MXGP of Faenza
The Grand Prix contingent has not hit the old-school of Italian circuit of Faenza since 2012, believe it or not. That actually means that a lot of you reading this have no idea what the facility’s like! Think of an old-school European track – this fits that stereotype perfectly. You can actually see it for yourself with the GoPro footage below, which was captured in the EMX125 free practice session on Saturday morning. A 125 on a track like this should make a lot of you happy.

The dark art of science policy

OPINION: Governments around the world invest heavily in science and innovation, but what types of spending work best?
Would it be better to provide R&D tax credits for all firms, or should we fund specific projects in strategically important industries?
Suprisingly, for the most part, we just can't answer these questions. Science and innovation policy is a dark art.
Medicine was once a similarly murky affair, but the invention of the randomised controlled trial sixty years ago means that when your doctor perscribes you a new drug, you can be confident of its effectiveness.
In such a trial, some patients in a group are randomly selected to be given a treatment, while the remainder receive a placebo. Only at the end of the trial is it revealed who received the treatment and who didn't, so that its effect is compared without bias to that of the placebo.
Why couldn't we apply this sort of test to innovation investments? We can. In fact, in mid-2012 the newly formed Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment inadvertently conducted such an experiment.
When it assessed the quality of the funding proposals that it had received, the Ministry did not ensure that each proposal received an equal number of external reviews. This potentially made their funding decisions subject to bias: even if two proposals were equally good, the proposal that by chance received more reviews would be more likely to have at least one negative review.
In the end, we now know that more than a third of the proposals that received one review were funded, while only one quarter of those that received two or more were successful.Was the Ministry too conservative in its funding decisions?
In this case the difference in success rates was not enough to be able to draw a solid statistical conclusion.While unintentional experiments like this can reveal much about the quality of our decisionmaking, it would no doubt be better to undertake such studies purposefully rather than by accident.
And there are methods for studying the effectiveness of our investments in innovation that are fairer than the random allocation of external reviews. This new approach has become known as "the science of science policy".
Ad Feedback
It was recently used to test the quality of decisionmaking by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), which invests billions of dollars every year in medical research. The conclusion? The projects rated poorly by the NIH (but funded none-the-less) produced just as much impact as those that were rated the best.
This is valuable information for an organisation that spends more than US$100 million dollars annually on reviewing proposals. It seems that by taking a leaf out of medicine's book we may soon be able to settle many debates about innovation policy with hard data and the application of statistics rather than resorting to the abstract.

[Previous entry: "Hey, Sony: "No" means "NO!""] [Main Index] [Next entry: "The "sunk cost" of human lives"]
12/01/2005 Archived Entry: "Correction on Miami in-your-face policy?"
On November 28, the sharp-eyed Claire Wolfe blogged about the "in-your-face" totalitarianism planned by the Miami police; she excerpted a passage from a Breitbart article: "Miami police announced Monday they will stage random shows of force at hotels, banks and other public places to keep terrorists guessing and remind people to be vigilant. Deputy Police Chief Frank Fernandez said officers might, for example, surround a bank building, check the IDs of everyone going in and out and hand out leaflets about terror threats."
On November 29 Claire wrote: "YESTERDAY I BLOGGED ABOUT MIAMI COPS planning random shows of force in public places, including ID checks of everyone entering certain banks, hotels, and other "public places." Now here's almost the same article, almost the same wording, but with an explicit statement saying there will be NO random ID checks. Guess that one went down the memory hole." The article she refers to in this entry is here.
Interesting difference. I wonder if adverse publicity made the Miami police change their tune. They would never back down outright, of course, but I wouldn't be surprised if the "in-your-face" actions never actually occur...for one reason or another. The real reason: the police may have crossed a line they did not quite realize was there. Or am I being an optimist again about how much daily totalitarianism the American people are willing to tolerate?

The other option is to store both the depth of the node and keep an identifier for the complete path of each node and use both of these as criteria.
The way I store XML nodes in a relational database is the following:
SELECT id,value FROM element e1
INNER JOIN element e2 ON (e2.id=e1.parent_id AND name='friend')
WHERE e1.depth>4 AND e1.path like 'root[1]/users[1]/user:dana[1]/public[1]%'
In this example, I've got a field for the node name and an interator in square brackets for duplicate nodes with the same node name at each level in the tree.
When you insert each node, you have to calculate the full path by following the parents down to the root node (parent_id IS NULL) appending each level onto an array, at the same time store the depth of the path.
It is always good in any kind of hierarchy stored in a database to have a visual representation and easy access to any path as following the tree on every request can be costly, especially with mysql which does not have any direct recursive SQL syntax.
The left/right scheme of storing nodes in a hierarchy (nested set adjacency list) is too dangerous in my mind and much more can go wrong with this kind of scheme, for one it is very complicated to manage.

new spaces / new year: dinner helper
It seems like all we do is prepare food, eat food, and clean up from eating food with a family of six. Do you ever feel that way sometimes? We recently started a chart of "dinner helpers" who are responsible for, well, helping with dinner. Caroline, 6, and Johanna, 4, are the only two on the schedule. They usually help in the kitchen and set the table. Depending on which child is the helper for the night, I place emphasis on different things. Johanna loves standing on a chair and working alongside me and Caroline loves creating elaborate centerpieces and making name cards. It has thankfully become a real help and quite enjoyable for the two of them.
Usually during the hustle and bustle of dinner finishing up, me stepping on either twin that constantly are coming in and out of the kitchen and getting all of the dinnerware down from the cupboards for the girls, some chaos is still inevitable. So last week when I started looking around my house to see spaces that weren't being used functionally I saw a better dinner solution. The lowboy, of course. It is usually stacked with our oversized art books and pretty vases. Nice but not functional.
So we created a spot just for the dinner (and breakfast and lunch) helper in the dining room. It always stays stocked with the children's plates and glasses. I store all of our forks there as well. All that is needed is a mommy and daddy plate for dinner and for breakfast and lunch, we use the smaller plate anyway. All of the essentials for a meal in one place.
The kids love it. They have stayed excited about setting the table now because they don't have to ask me over and over again to get plates and glasses down for them. It has built their confidence in helping for all of our meals. And Ainsleigh and Annabelle now set the table in a pinch! Well why not? They're big, too! They like bringing napkins, one at a time, to each person and banging plates down on the table.
"Dinner helper" is kind of an envied role each night here. I would have never thought in a million years we'd arrive at this.
So I've been saving up my living room to share with you! It has been lived in and loved this whole past week and I'm excited to share it with ya'll next week. Hope you have a fantastic weekend. We'll be enjoying being with family for my niece's baptism and my brother's farewell before heading down to Ol' Miss! We'll miss you so much, Travis!

That’s a great point. I’ve also tried to get people to focus on the importance of long-run growth.
Heck, just look at what’s happened in Hong Kong and Singapore and you’ll agree.
In his column, Art also correctly defines good tax policy.
But he then asserts that an Internet sales tax cartel somehow will result in better policy.
…there are reforms that can alleviate the problems associated with declining sales-tax bases and, at the same time, allow the states to move closer to a pro-growth tax system. One such reform would be to have Internet sellers collect the sales taxes that are owed by in-state consumers when they purchase goods over the Web. So-called e-fairness legislation addresses the inequitable treatment of retailers based on whether they are located in-state (either a traditional brick-and-mortar store or an Internet retailer with a physical presence in the state) or out of state (again as a brick-and-mortar establishment or on the Internet). …The exemption of Internet and out-of-state retailers from collecting state sales taxes reduced state revenues by $23.3 billion in 2012 alone, according to an estimate by the National Conference of State Legislatures. The absence of these revenues has not served to put a lid on state-government spending. Instead, it has led to higher marginal rates in the 43 states that levy income taxes.
This is a very disappointing collection of sentences. Let’s review.
1. States have declining sales-tax bases because state lawmakers treat that levy the same way that politicians in Washington treat the income tax – they put in loopholes in exchange for campaign cash and political support. For them to complain about declining sales-tax bases is sort of like the old joke about the guy who murders his parents and then asks the court for mercy because he’s an orphan.
2. Art offers zero evidence that state governments would use the additional revenue from a state sales tax cartel to reduce income tax rates. What’s next, a column saying we should have a value-added tax because the politicians may use the revenue to get rid of the income tax? Yeah, good luck with that approach.
3. Why is it “inequitable” for there to be different tax policies in different states? That’s another way of describing federalism, and it’s something we should be celebrating and promoting. Particularly since it promotes tax competition, which is one of the most effective ways of restraining the greed of the political class.
4. The Internet sales tax cartel being promoted by Art and various politicians requires that governments have the ability to tax sales that tax place outside their borders. That’s an assault of sovereignty, particularly since out-of-state merchants will be coerced into being tax collectors for a distant government. This is the same dangerous ideology that is used by high-tax governments to promote global anti-tax competition policies.
5. Art offers zero evidence that the absences of a state sales tax cartel has led to higher income tax rates. Yes, some states have raised tax rates in recent years, but others have lowered tax rates.
For more information on why a sales tax cartel among the states would be a bad idea, here’s my short speech to an audience on Capitol Hill.
*This should be an obvious point, but I can’t resist emphasizing that maximizing revenue should not be the goal of fiscal policy.

For anyone who has similar issues
I had a similar issue however I don't think it was exactly same. I tried the steps in the accepted answer with no success.
Research on my own
I tried different phones and noticed that some would have the static at low volumes and other would not. I looked online and sometimes the phone can cause this to happen.
How I solved the issue
When talking to the guys at an auto/stereo they mentioned that a there is a product called a Ground Loop Isolator (3.5mm) that could reduce the noise. I found and ordered one up, so far it has considerably reduced the static noise (when using the phone at low volumes).
I hope this helps others like it helped myself.
Note: I paid ~30$ CAD (25 USD) for the isolator but later found them online for less than half the price. I bought the one online and it worked just as well as the expensive one.
Update: On second read-through I see that I missed the attached document on the answer and it does mention Isolators, my apologies.

This question is already answered, but it is worth noting that a distinct stereo whine that changes pitch with engine speed can be indicative of an issue with the alternator and/or voltage regulator. The noise sounds like supercharger whine in such cases.

I'd check to make sure no power wire is near the spark plug wires. That's caused similar sound for me in my '88 civic wagon with aftermarket stereo. RPM dependant, almost like a turbo whine hahah. 3yrs old but maybe this could help someone else?

The Witness of Soraya M.
By Jennifer S. Bryson
Healthy respect takes account of the diversity in Islam and focuses not on respecting an idea but on respecting the humanity of individuals. A new movie that opened in U.S. theaters recently helps illustrate this precise point.
Calls to "respect Islam" abound, as most recently witnessed in President Obama's speech in Cairo. Some view these calls as "appeasement" and balk at the perception that they are being told to respect everything Muslims do-be it a Muslim charity feeding the homeless or the Taliban throwing acid on school girls' faces.
On its own, the term "respect" seems to represent a positive concept. And yet when the terms "respect" and "Islam" come together there is tension. The problem in our public discourse about respect and Islam lies in confusion in terminology-attaching different meanings to the term "respect" while assuming we all mean the same thing when we use this term, when in fact we do not.
One helpful resource to untangle this knot is the work of the Respect Research Group of the University of Hamburg in Germany and the Rotterdam School of Management in Holland. Their research into "respect" is complex-it is academic work complete with social science jargon and detailed flow-charts. From their work we can distill some helpful insights with broader applications that will help us maneuver through the controversies about "respecting Islam."
A key distinction that these "respect" researchers point out is between respect that involves appraisal or evaluation of an issue (e.g. respecting a public leader for his or her political stances) and respect that is an attitude of basic recognition (e.g. respecting the right to life of a human being because of recognition of basic human dignity). They call these two kinds of respect "appraisal respect" and "recognition respect."
Another aspect of their research that is helpful for working through the controversy about "respecting Islam" is their focus on interpersonal relations. With this in mind, I think shifting discussion away from "respecting Islam" to "respecting Muslims" changes the dynamic in a way that could foster fruitful discussions instead of generating more controversy.
As for the phrase "respecting Islam," one needs to ask whose Islam? Islam is a vast, complex, diverse realm filled with a multitude of individual, human interpreters. Does "respecting Islam" mean respecting the arguments of those who throw acid in the faces of girls trying to attend school in Afghanistan, or does it mean respecting the arguments of a woman such as Asra Nomani who seeks access to mosques for Muslim women? In both cases this entails "appraisal respect," dependent on the speaker's evaluation of others' actions and attitudes. We should not feel obliged to respect a position that claims the authority of Islam if that position is without merit.
By contrast, the phrase "respecting Muslims" shifts the discussion away from abstraction and toward the plane of human dignity and interpersonal relations. In the case of some Muslims throwing acid on the faces of Muslim girls trying to attend school, I can-even if I do so gnashing my teeth-respect the humanity in the acid-throwers without having to agree with them or condone their actions. With respect for their humanity I can feel concern for them-as believers in their faith they claim to be truth-seekers yet engage in destruction and brutality; it seems that in them there is an internal decay underway that harms them and others around them.
Respecting Muslims means recognizing, on a foundation of human dignity, the humanity-and thus also the diversity-among those who are followers of Islam. It does not mean agreeing with every single one of them on every issue, which would mean simultaneously accepting contradictions.
Consider the true story of the stoning to death of a woman named Soraya for alleged adultery in Iran. A tremendously powerful film based on this story, "The Stoning of Soraya M.," opened in U.S. theaters recently. The film is well made on many levels, and its story of the efforts of Soraya's aunt and a foreign journalist to make known the profound horror of this case reminds all who see it what the word "courage" means.

[p2p-research] Post-Depression first: Americans get more money from government than they give back | csmonitor.com

That's the problem, very little of the money went to public services.
Instead they spent money continuously building more prisons, because
the prison union is extremely powerful, with the requisite prison
guards making six figure salaries. I'm not blaming unions generally,
it was the government employee unions that looted the state. I have a
lot of relatives that work for the state of California, and while they
like the very high wages obviously, they don't deny the deleterious
effects of the unions on state governance either.

Taxes in California are very high, higher than surrounding states.
Yet they consistently generate worse and vastly more expensive
services than the same neighbors. Why does it cost California 12x as
much to build the same piece of highway as neighbors, with lower
quality implementation?
You are taking a very ideological view of this, but it is much simpler
than that. The State of California is deeply corrupted and
extraordinarily wasteful even by the standard of most State
governments. We are talking about a State that has proven so
incompetent at delivering basic services that residents of some of the
most left-wing areas of the State have successfully sued to privatize
projects in order that service be delivered after several years of
getting nowhere on a project that should only have taken a few months
and modest amount of money.

Senator Angus King concerned with Sessions ousting, hopeful of bipartisanship with new split chamber
By |
OAKLAND, Maine (WABI) - Senator Angus King says he has concerns about what's to come with Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigning from his post Wednesday.
He says Congress should pass a bill that protects the Mueller investigation.
"I'm concerned about it because it appears that this is an effort to somehow curtail or derail the Mueller investigation, and I don't really understand the President's motivation," says King. "He says very forcefully that he's innocent, that nothing untoward happened during the campaign. If that's the case, he should want the investigation to conclude because it'll clear his name. If he somehow tries to terminate it prematurely, it'll raise questions that will follow him into the 2020 election."
King also says that he's worried about some of the statements the Acting Attorney General, Sessions' replacement, has made in the past about the investigation.
When Senator Angus King returns to Congress, the chambers will be split after Democrats took back the House Tuesday.
King says the government will act like our Founders intended, as a system of checks and balances.
He also hopes Congress doesn't go into gridlock.
"My desire is to find things we can work with together, and I think we can," says King. "There'll be some big issues that will divide the Congress on partisan grounds, but there'll be a lot of other things, I think, that we'll be able to do cooperatively if everybody puts the armor aside and says, 'Let's talk and listen to each other.'"
There are three issues King says that could see bipartisan support -- opioids, economic development, and health care.

• Overview
Central Asia's most populous country is, besides Liechtenstein,the only country in the world surrounded entirely by otherlandlocked states, and is bordered by the '-stans' - Afghanistan,Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. It alsoborders the Aral Sea, which it shares with Kazakhstan.
Having declared its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991,Uzbekistan has sought to increase awareness to its tourismpotential, boasting historical, archaeological, architectural andnatural treasures. Tourist activities range from outdoor pursuitsin the beautiful mountainous regions to exploring its richcentury-old history. Oasis towns like Samarkand, Bukhara and Khivawere once main points of trade on the Silk Road linking Eastern andWestern civilisations and are among the oldest towns in the worldwith ancient mosques, grandiose madrasas (Islamic clergy academies)and palaces, citadels, minarets, colourful bazaars, highly-adornedmausoleums, and age-old traditions. Uzbekistan's capital, Tashkent,is the main point of entry and exit into and out of the country,and although also formerly part of the Silk Road, it is usuallyoverlooked as a site of interest in favour of the historicallyricher tourism centres such as Samarkand. The 5th century BC WorldHeritage city was the greatest in Central Asia in its time, andboasts one of the most impressive sights in the region, RegistanSquare.
In recent years, Uzbekistan has cooled its relations with theWest, having closed the US airbase that was used for operations inAfghanistan after 9/11, and favouring closer relations with China,India and Russia following Western calls for investigation into thebloody massacre at Andijan in 2005.
Uzbek hospitality is nevertheless unequivocal, and visitors tothe country will be overwhelmed with offers of tea or vodka, andtreated to a feast of architectural splendour in this mosthistorically intriguing of the Central Asian republics.
Registan Square
Registan Square is Uzbekistan most popular sight, itssubstantial portals, domes and minarets visible from just abouteverywhere in the city.
Of the three madrassahs (religious schools) in Registan Square,Ulugbek Madrassah is the oldest, dating from 1417. The main façadeis covered with splendid mosaic floral patterns made in islimistyle, and has a tall portal decorated with astral patterns. Thesquare also houses the masoleum of the Shaybanids, which dates backto the 16th century, as well as an ancient trading dome.

Bibi Khanum Mosque
The outstanding monument of ancient architecture in Uzbekistanis Bibi Khanum Mosque which towers above the city as a giantsilhouette. The distinctive blue dome is designed to emulate thesky while the building features sparkling walls, tall minarets, andwide portals of white marble. Construction dates from 1399, underlegendary ruler Temur.
Address: Bibikhonim Street, Samarkand
Gur Emir
From a distance Gur Emir looks like a blue tulip, with tightlyfolded turquoise petals. The remains of great sovereign Amir Temurand his offspring are interred here. The richly decoratedgravestones are made of onyx and have fine carvings and dedicatoryinscriptions. Also don't miss the unusual wall-paintings, cupola,and lower crypt where you can see the ancient graves (provided youtip the guide.)

Samanids Mausoleum
One of the oldest monuments in Bukhara is the Ismail Samanidmausoleum, built at the beginning of the 10th century by thefounder of the Samanid dynasty. The mausoleum looks rather like abrick cube covered with a hemisphere-shaped cupola. The cubesymbolizes the earth, its dome is a symbol of the heavens, andtheir harmonic unity represents the universe The mausoleum is thefirst building in Central Asian architecture built of fired bricks;moreover, brick is used both as a construction and a decorativeelement: during the day the shifting daylight changes the patternof decoration.

The Lyab-i-Hauz is the tree-shaded area surrounding thelast-surviving hauz (public pond) in downtown Bukhara. Althoughpublic ponds were once widespread in Bukhara, many of them werefilled in during the 1920s and 30s; however, the Lyab-i-Hauz wasleft to stand - principally because it is located in the middle ofa spectacular architectural ensemble, that includes the Kukeldashmadrasah (a magnificent school building adorned with heraldicornamentation), and a khanqah (an inn, used by members of the Sufibrotherhood) built by Nadir Divan-Beghi. The area surroundingLyab-i-Hauz is lined with restaurants and cafés, most of whichserve alcohol, while old men play chess at stone tables, and thestrains of live music fill the air every evening. The Lyab-i-Hauzis a wonderful place to while away the hours, soaking up the spiritof downtown Bukhara.

Chorsu Bazaar
No visit to Uzbekistan would be complete without a visit to theChorsu Bazaar. In fact, travellers to the central Asian nation areurged to pack as lightly as possible - since they will almostcertainly be returning home with twice as many clothes as theyarrived with! Silk dresses, Italian leather jackets, hand-stitchedcotton shirts - you name it, the Chorsu Bazaar has it, and atoutrageously low prices, to boot. Souvenir-hunters should look outfor decorative ceramics (an Uzbek speciality), while the array offresh fruit, vegetables and spices is guaranteed to make your mouthwater. The Chorsu Bazaar is, as yet, unspoiled by mass tourism - itis an 'authentic' market, full of Uzbeks doing their dailyshopping, and visiting it is as much a rich and rewarding culturalexperience, as it is a shopping expedition par excellence.
Address: Beruni Avenue, Tashkent
The ancient fort-city of Afrasiab - thought to have beenoccupied between 500 BC and 1220 AD - was an important stop alongthe Silk Road, and the centre of the Sogdian Empire. These days,the site is an archaeological marvel, simply emanating the 2,500years of human history it has borne witness to. No traveller tomodern-day Samarkand should leave without visiting the museum atAfrasiab, which is full of fascinating artefacts, includingornamental earthenware crockery, tools, coins, terracottastatuettes - and most spectacular of all, enormous mural paintingsrescued from the palace of a Sogdian ruler in the 7th century,depicting sieges and caravan troupes. By all accounts, a visit toAfrasiab is a truly humbling experience, where ancient historyfeels tangible, and one is able to reflect on the long andincredible passage of human civilisation.

Ex-HC staffer found murdered in house
Picture used for representational purpose only
MOHALI: A 60-year-old retired employee of the Punjab and Haryana high court was found murdered in his house with multiple stab injuries on his neck and stomach in Shivalik Vihar II in Nayagaon on Tuesday night.
Rajkumar, who had retired as a record supervisor, was lying in a pool of blood on the floor of his kitchen, when a police team arrived at the crime scene. A police officer said the killer had slit the victim’s throat and stabbed his stomach multiple times with a sharp-edged weapon, most probably a knife.
Given the city’s large population of retired people, many of whom stay alone, the Chandigarh cops need to give special attention to their safety. With criminals increasingly targeting the elderly in Chandigarh, there is a dire need to formulate ways to keep them from harm. It’s time the resident welfare associations also stepped in to boost contact between neighbours, install gates in their locality to filter outsiders’ entry, employ guards and arrange for CCTV surveillance of their areas. People can also install alarms or floodlights in their houses to alert neighbours in case of an intrusion or threat. Police should also act fast to catch the culprits and bring them to book. This will act as a deterrent.
Household items were lying scattered on the floor, prompting cops to suspect a theft attempt might have been made. Cops are also suspecting that the killer could be an acquaintance of the victim as it seems the victim had gone to kitchen to cook something for someone, and nothing has been stolen from the house.
According to police officers, after his wife’s death some years back, Rajkumar had been living with his bachelor son Inderjeet, 27, in the house.
The incident took place when the victim was alone at home and his son had gone to his office at IT Park, Chandigarh. The crime came to light when his son returned home. Inderjeet immediately informed Mohali police and a team of Nayagaon police station reached the spot.
Inderjeet told police that he usually would ring the bell and his father open the door. Besides, his father also kept lights of the house off. However, on Tuesday night, when he reached home, the door was open and all the lights were on. Police registered a case. Mohali SSP Kuldeep Singh Chahal said prima facie it seems miscreants entered the house with the motive of theft. “When the victim resisted, the accused murdered him with a sharpedged weapon. We are looking into other angles too,” he said. Nayagaon SHO Sumit Mor said they are investigating two angles —killer came with the motive of theft or he was an acquaintance of the victim.

Not So Insatiable
Karina Duncan, Feature Writer
Constantly feeling the pressure of others glares is something this girl feels on a day-today basis.
The new Netflix show Insatiable that came out in August has been making everyone argue over whether its a hit or miss.
The show puts everything into a life lesson, trying to grasp a perspective for everyone to enjoy but doesn’t exactly get the message across appropriately.
This show really blew me by surprise, I never knew what was going to happen next. What I really disliked about this show was that they made the whole story trying to say that you won’t make it unless you are skinny and pretty.
Besides that, I really liked how the characters transition in the show, and how they tried going over a lot of issues that really need to be talked about. But that still doesn’t mean that everyone should watch this show, honestly watch at your own risk.
Debby Ryan, who plays Patty, got into an accident when she was at her lowest point, by eating through all of her problems. The accident happened because a homeless guy was making fun of her weight and they ended up fighting, with her recovery she lost a bunch of weight as a result.
Her whole life she thought she was fat and that everyone hated her for it, but now after the whole incident she felt that this was her time to shine. That she could get away with anything because now her looks meant something to her.
They made the whole Patty losing weight a huge problem and that if she ever got “bigger” again she wouldn’t be the same person. The whole story’s plot at this point is very unusual for a revenge comedy, leaving myself very confused.
The audience of this show is very different, you would think it would be a teenage tv series, but they literally talk about parents love life and it goes way too far. I’m still confused on what this show is for?
In the end of the show it changed the view entirely making it have a different perspective than the beginning of the show. My overall opinion on this show was if you want a chick flick go for it, but if that’s not your style, don’t waste your time.

Order, please: taming the Web with semantics
As your official Molecular Biology and Genomics Special Interest Group blogger, I will report on the first session sponsored by this group. I attended presentations given by Kristi Holmes and Joan Bartlett on Sunday afternoon.
Connecting the dots: structured databases become interconnected in the semantic Web (click to enlarge)
So what exactly is the semantic Web? Kristi Holmes introduced us to the concept using a brilliant analogy with Star Wars in her first presentation, “An Introduction to the Semantic Web and Linked Open Data“. The semantic Web is all about leveraging the rich data available on the web, by connecting the data so it becomes more meaningful and accessible.
Technologically-speaking, we need computers to understand relationships between data, such as lineage. A subject (Anakin Skywalker) may exhibit a property (is the father of) towards another object (Luke Skywalker), and this relationship can be interpreted in the opposite direction as well. Languages such as XML and RDF provide the structure in which the computer will look for information (a.k.a. metadata). Another way to provide meaning to the data is to use specialized vocabularies, called ontologies, to describe objects and integrate logical relationships between the objects. A good example is the Gene Ontology used in NCBI databases.
Organizing the massive amount of data available implies its classification, and a five-star system determines data quality. There are naturally many types of data available from countless sources, from governmental reports to repositories to scientific workflows.
In her second presentation titled “Linked Open Data and Biomedical Research: A Survey of Current International Efforts“, Kristi summarized how research networking systems are needed to increase visibility and enhance utility, enabling us to find people, projects and resources. Collaborative tools allow the visualization of complex networks in a meaningful manner, so we can understand the big picture. Examples are ViVO, CTSAConnect and Open PHACTS. Some of you may also be familiar with GoPubMed, which uses Gene Ontology and MeSH to filter millions of abstracts from Medline in order to sort out results. Kristi invited the audience to find out what is happening on their campuses and how they can connect with research networks, as libraries are key players in outreach, education and training, technical support and relationships with vendors and providers.
Finally, Joan Bartlett has an ambitious project: the “Assessment of a User-Centered Ontology to Support the Selection of and Linking among Bioinformatics Resources“. Indeed, researchers have to choose between an overwhelming number of bioinformatics tools. Many are redundant, and there are no defined criteria available to assess these resources. Directories are useful, but propose little information that will help the user decide which tool is the most appropriate.
In order to make bioinformatics resources more accessible, Joan is developing a user-centered ontology that will take into account the personal, environmental and resource factors that determine tool selection. The first part of her research focused on defining these factors, whereas the second step consisted in surveying scientists regarding the characteristics they rate as important in their selection of bioinformatics tools. Once the ontology is better defined, Joan intends to collaborate with existing bioinformatics directories to integrate her research findings so that in the end, users will find resources more effectively.

Mother of all Metaphors Still Informs
JWO said...
Shout it from the house tops. If there was so much fraud in the making mortgages from 2005 to 2007, where were the local authority that prosecute fraud? In many case where new laws are enacted we do not need new laws just better enforcement of existing laws.
Anonymous said...
Is it an agency problem for the public if the regulators themselves are under the belief that regulation is unnecessary and a hindrance; and therefore, spend their time providing guidance to the regulated rather than enforcing statutory compliance?...
Can conservatives/libertarians provide solutions rather than repeatedly identifying a self-fulfilling prophecy?
I honestly interested in intelligent feedback, rather than ad hominen flames thanks
Eric Falkenstein said...
I don't think regulators countenance any noncompliance once they see it, so I don't think there is any more for them to do there. Madoff is a good example of a nonaction, but that was incompetence--what can you do, it's going to happen given these aren't the best the street can employ. They generally do wish to provide guidance where the law is ambiguous, which only makes sense. That is, if some activity is not clear, why not tell them beforehand that it is illegal or legal? The fact that most regulations become irrelevant and mislead those higher up executives who are in charge is precisely why we need less, rather than more, regulation. A libertarian principle, such as 'all power corrupts', is not self-fullfilling, but rather, descriptive
cig said...
Beware of generalising the problems of financial industry regulation. In other industries it may be easier to get the industry buy-in when regulation solves a tragedy of the commons/race to the bottom kind of issue.

Afghanistan outlaws media usage of drones
The restrictions on drone cameras will apparently not apply to the whole country, but only to sensitive areas like government and military facilities, such as those in the capital, Kabul, an official at the Ministry of Information and Culture said on the condition of anonymity. The official cited a recent incident in which a local TV news company flew a small drone over the presidential palace in Kabul while covering a large anti-government protest, causing concern over the nature of the unmanned aircraft.
US-led coalition forces have increasingly been using drones for surveillance purposes. They have also been using them to carry out airstrikes against insurgents in Afghanistan for years now.
"The Interior Ministry, with all respect it has to media, respectfully announces to all national and international media that they should not use such cameras that have broad coverage and can create problems for security institutions," the ministry said in a statement.
Some Afghans said they saw the new regulation as a limitation on their freedoms. One user tweeted that "they should ban killer drones instead."
Growing concerns around the world
Other countries have also enacted similar restrictions against drones as the expanding use of commercial and private remote-controlled aircraft is becoming a growing safety concern around the world.
In the UK, for instance, a British Airways airliner had
collided with a suspected drone
during its landing approach at London's Heathrow Airport earlier this year, despite British law expressly forbidding the use of drones near planes.

Who cares?
Screen Shot 2016-08-21 at 6.54.28 PMLately, I’ve been questioning myself a lot… wondering things like: Why do I care so much about healthy living? Why do I care about something that can seem so superficial on the surface and that in the grand scheme of things, is so insignificant in comparison to “real life” and “real problems”? I even started to question why I spend so much of my time in preparation for a race? Who cares?
I haven’t been posting regularly over the past few weeks because I’ve struggled to find a meaningful answer to these questions.
Healthy living in comparison to lets say… living with an illness, or living in a war torn region for example… just does not stack up and I started feeling silly for sharing ways to maximize a privileged first world way of living. But though it is important to have perspective, I’ve been reminded over the past few days that it’s OK to care about it… That even though it may not ‘stack up’, it does matter, it is something I’m passionate about, and sharing my honest approach to healthy living actually does have a positive impact.
So, thank-you to the people who have reached out and reminded me of that. I am officially no longer lost in my thoughts and seeing the Olympics come to a close this weekend has definitely confirmed it for me… it has been amazing watching the best athletes in the world do their thing and it has been such a nice change of pace seeing positive headlines in the news too.
Just a few days ago I was questioning why I bother racing at all and what the meaning of it all is, and now I’m searching for another race to sign up to. I love competing and I thrive off of keeping an active lifestyle. Is there meaning behind it? Maybe not… but it keeps me sane, it gives me something to work towards and I simply enjoy it. So why not?
In saying that, I have a race report post coming up next and an exciting announcement to make too. Onwards and upwards…
Getting out of auto-mode
Live Loosley London Auto-mode
It’s easy to walk through life in auto-mode.
I do it all the time. I’m in London, a big busy metropolis. You can walk around the city passing thousands and thousands of people and not recognize a single one of them. Usually walking with a purpose to get somewhere the quickest, most efficient way possible; the people in your way are faceless bodies literally just in your way, as you are to them.
No matter where you are, city or a small community, work can get monotonous if you let it. You can sit there 9-5 unchallenged, working for a business you are not particularly passionate about with colleagues don’t particularly know that well.
Then we get home and zone out in front of the TV before heading to bed and doing it all over again.
In one way, I see auto-mode as a bit of a coping mechanism. Life can be overwhelming, hard work and scary otherwise. Auto-mode is safe and easy.
But life in auto-mode is just that, it’s easy. It is uninspiring, unchallenging and spending too much time in it can be damaging to self confidence and general wellbeing.

Halacha tells us that there are certain activities that are forbidden to do before one davens the morning prayer. Would exercise be one of those activities ?

I doubt all sorts of exercise would be forbidden and certainly you're allowed to run to shul. IF the purpose of the exercise is to make you more "awake" and "healthy" such that you pray better it is most likely permitted. Eating before prayer is considered "haughty" thus forbidden.

I found
1 Torah Musings says
Minor activities are not considered to be work, nor a fulfillment of one’s own desires, and they are therefore permissible before prayer. For example, a person is permitted to make his bed before praying, and he is permitted to take the garbage from his house to the public garbage bin. Similarly, he is permitted to read the newspaper a bit and do a little exercise before prayer.
(No source given).
2 Kollel Iyun Hadaf
The Shulchan Aruch (OC 89:3) says that it is forbidden for a person to involve himself in his own needs before davening. This certainly includes eating and drinking before davening which Chazal say is an expression of haughtiness; exercise is a grayer area. The Rema (ibid) though adds though that there are those that are lenient in this matter if the person has said some of his Berachos.
If the exercise is being done for health maintenance (and not for pleasure) and it is difficult to do it after davening, then it is seems there is room for doing it before davening provided that the person says Birchos haShachar before hand.
Kol Tuv, Yonasan Sigler *This is not meant to be a Psak Halachah.
3) israel.aish.com (Review Sheet for The Times of Davening - (Orach Chaim:Siman 89, 232-234)
a) If a person needs to exercise before davening in order to have strength to serve Hashem and he can’t do it later then this is also Maleches Shamayim.
Conclusion: Minor exercise is permitted. If it cannot be done later, then exercise for health (after saying brochos) or to have strength to serve Hashem is permitted.

DO you hold yourself on the chair, or does the chair hold you? When
you are subject to the laws of gravitation give up to them, and feel
their strength. Do not resist these laws, as a thousand and one of
us do when instead of yielding gently and letting ourselves sink
into a chair, we _put_ our bodies rigidly on and then hold them
there as if fearing the chair would break if we gave our full weight
to it. It is not only unnatural and unrestful, but most awkward. So
in a railroad car. Much, indeed most of the fatigue from a long
journey by rail is quite unnecessary, and comes from an unconscious
officious effort of trying to carry the train, instead of allowing
the train to carry us, or of resisting the motion, instead of
relaxing and yielding to it. There is a pleasant rhythm in the
motion of the rapidly moving cars which is often restful rather than
fatiguing, if we will only let go and abandon ourselves to it. This
was strikingly proved by a woman who, having just learned the first
principles of relaxation, started on a journey overstrained from
mental anxiety. The first effect of the motion was that most
disagreeable, faint feeling known as car-sickness. Understanding the
cause, she began at once to drop the unnecessary tension, and the
faintness left her. Then she commenced an interesting novel, and as
she became excited by the plot her muscles were contracted in
sympathy (so-called), and the faintness returned in full force, so
that she bad to drop the book and relax again; and this process was
repeated half-a-dozen times before she could place her body so under
control of natural laws that it was possible to read without the
artificial tension asserting itself and the car-sickness returning
in consequence.
The same law is illustrated in driving. "I cannot drive, it tires me
so," is a common complaint. Why does it tire you? Because instead of
yielding entirely and freely to the seat of the carriage first, and
then to its motion, you try to help the horses, or to hold yourself
still while the carriage is moving. A man should become one with a
carriage in driving, as much as one with his horse in riding. Notice
the condition in any place where there is excuse for some
anxiety,--while going rather sharply round a corner, or nearing a
railroad track. If your feet are not pressed forcibly against the
floor of the carriage, the tension will be somewhere else. You are
using nervous force to no earthly purpose, and to great earthly
loss. Where any tension is necessary to make things better, it will
assert itself naturally and more truly as we learn to drop all
useless and harmful tension. Take a patient suffering from nervous
prostration for a long drive, and you will bring him back more
nervously prostrated; even the fresh air will not counteract the
strain that comes from not knowing how to relax to the motion of the
A large amount of nervous energy is expended unnecessarily while
waiting. If we are obliged to wait for any length of time, it does
not hurry the minutes or bring that for which we wait to keep
nervously strained with impatience; and it does use vital force, and
so helps greatly toward "Americanitis." The strain which comes from
an hour's nervous waiting, when simply to let yourself alone and
keep still would answer much better, is often equal to a day's
labor. It must be left to individuals to discover how this applies
in their own especial cases, and it will be surprising to see not
only how great and how common such strain is, but how comparatively
easy it is to drop it. There are of course exceptional times and
states when only constant trying and thoughtful watchfulness will
bring any marked result.
We have taken a few examples where there is nothing to do but keep
quiet, body and brain, from what should be the absolute rest of
sleep to the enforced rest of waiting. just one word more in
connection with waiting and driving. You must catch a certain train.
Not having time to trust to your legs or the cars, you hastily take
a cab. You will in your anxiety keep up exactly the same strain that
you would have had in walking,--as if you could help the carriage
along, or as if reaching the station in time depended upon your
keeping a rigid spine and tense muscles. You have hired the carriage
to take you, and any activity on your part is quite unnecessary
until you reach the station; why not keep quiet and let the horses
do the work, and the driver attend to his business?
It would be easy to fill a small volume with examples of the way in
which we are walking directly into nervous prostration; examples
only of this one variety of disobedience,--namely, of the laws of_
rest._ And to give illustrations of all the varieties of
disobedience to Nature's laws in _activity_ would fill not one small
book, but several large ones; and then, unless we improve, a
year-book of new examples of nervous strain could be published. But
fortunately, if we are nervous and short-sighted, we have a good
share of brain and commonsense when it is once appealed to, and a
few examples will open our eyes and set us thinking, to real and
practical results.

Fair wage for a made-up job
2018 - 2015
Second version, Berlin, 2018. Performers: Magdalena Mitterhofer and Göksu Kunak
Öğüt's performance consist in hiring three performers to work in shifts. They are spinning monitors displaying Öğüt's film with low-paid Sign Spinners of LA. As part of the project, performers, were paid per hour as much as the art fair’s director. Additionally, the three performers had equal access to the director‘s amenities (including lunch, VIP area access, car service, etc.) during the art fair. Every day, the director‘s expenses will be counted and added to the performers’ per diem. The project tends to expose and revaluate the hierarchies of pay and repute within cultural production.
For "Fair Wage for a Made up Job's" 2018 version performers were paid per hour as much as Members of the Bundestag, the federal parliament of Germany.

Today, after a great treadmill run at my gym, I noticed a stain on my clothing. Apparently my nipple chafed so badly that it bled through my white t-shirt, and I'd walked around the gym completely oblivious. FML
I agree, your life sucks 30 887
You deserved it 3 836

...what the hell?
If this is a female, why would you not wear a sports bra or something if that nature to the gym. If this is a man, FYL since you must have some huge nipples...
...what the hell?
You must make Kool-Aid instead of milk.
Damnn that sucks. Your shirt must be like sandpaper! :/
Cherry kool aid! Lmao
I feel like knowing OP's gender would explain things, but then again maybe not...
I wear pasties everyday just so my nipples don't get so aroused
Did your shirt happen to be made of sandpaper?
Jesus do you not have nerve endings in your nipples OP ? I've had chaffed nipples once (definitely not to the point of bleeding!), and they bloody hurt!
Bloody what Mate.
Y'all must not run long distances, and I don't blame y'all! After about 12 miles, your nipples normally start bleeding while running, no joke. I run marathons when I can, and you have to tape your nipples before you run, gross, I know.
Ouch - how did you not feel that?
That's just wrong
Damn that's a rough shirt!
You need some "nip gaurds"
I used to put the mini circle band aids on my nipples. They burn like hell after running, especially when you take a shower. The bad thing is that you never notice it until you are finish running. It happened to me just after 6 miles.
I guess I must have tough titties!
It's not the shirt, it's the sweat. As you run, the water evaporates, leaving salts. The more you know~
Was it dragging on the floor?
So apparently 86 has tough titties
It's even more embarrassing when you spell embarrassing incorrectly on a comment of an FML
Saw you at the galleria a while ago..,
I am not from an english country and I live in a cage :(
Was referring to "ash"
Anyone think of Andy from The Office? lol
I love it when I meet people that watch TO
what gym do you go to?(;
**blows rape whistle**
Umm and why do you want to know that???? ...Stalker
Rapppeeee!!! Rapppe!!! R-A-P-E get the fuck away from me!
Ever thought that this was a boy..?
Poor you!! Better sports bra for you.
But... What if OP's a guy?
Sports bra's know no gender.
If OP is a man, bring out the Bro/manssiere
Haha. A dudes sports bra is a sports bro. But really, I heard petroleum jelly prevents/cures that. Ps. I learned that from How I met Your Mother. Poor Marshal. That is all.
That is just awkward, how could you not feel the wet spot.
Forget the wet did they not notice their shirt rubbing their nipple off..?
Ahahah love the name
Hahaha!!! So true! These have 2b man boob nipples we're talking about!
I guess u guys don't run..... U don't have to be fat and have your nipple rub off And some times u don't feel it.
Solution- Supple Nips- fun caps that actually grow your nipples and increase nerve feelings for extra pleasure. And no, guys your not gay if you use them. 20% of men are lucky enough to get sexually aroused from their nipples, (straight men included). Just means your girlfriend/wife has more to play with than your penis.
And nobody told you! What dicks.
Cutest puppy ever...
So you would go up to someone and say "your tit is bleeding."
You wouldn't happen to be related to Andy from the office would you?
I was wondering if anyone would bring that up.
Any idea which season/episode number this was on? I must've missed that one! (Though I haven't got a clue how!)
Season 1 episode 5 I think lol It's the one about rabies, a rerun was on tv last night...
Definitely not season 1. Probably 4. Could be wrong. Michael Scott Dunder Mifflin Rabies Awareness Fun Run for the Cure..."I ate more fettucini Alfredo and drank less water than I ever did in my life."
Season 4 ep. 1
Season 4 episode 1. Fun Run parts 1 and 2. Where did u come up with season 1 episode 5??
Body glide is a very good thing when run ing long distances.
Charlie Sheen probably sucked your nipples without you knowing. He likes it rough.

A brief history of racism in the United States
Racism is the belief that one’s race, skin color, or more generally, one’s group, be it of religious, national or ethnic identity, is superior to others in humanity. It has been part of the American landscape primarily since the European colonization of North America beginning in the 17th century. Various groups have bore the brunt of it, manifested in discriminatory laws, social practices, and criminal behavior directed toward a target group. The following are a list of just a few and their experiences.
Racism against Native Americans: with the Europeans’ arrival on North America’s shores and their systematic plan to subdue and conquer its land, came racism and bigotry against Native Americans. Europeans believed the original inhabitants of America were heathens and savages who needed to be civilized through Christianity and European culture. This led to genocide, mass murder, stolen land, attempts to wipe out Native American traditions, as well as forced assimilation through institutions like residential schools and the establishment of “Indian reservations”. As well, media portrayal of this continent’s first inhabitants as bloodthirsty savages helped justify European abuses against Native Americans. The long-term effects, among others, of this treatment include the fact that today, Native Americans have the highest suicide rate of any group in the United States, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
Although slavery was ultimately outlawed and laws prohibiting discrimination against African-Americans passed, racism against this community remains and is manifested in more subtle ways today. For example, the Washington, DC, Fair Employment Practices Commission has found that blacks face discrimination in one out of every five job interviews. The American Sociological Association notes that, “today employers use different phases of the hiring process to discriminate against minorities (e.g., recruiting from primarily white schools instead of through job training programs) and offer higher status jobs and pay to white employees. Reports of job discrimination against African Americans are correlated with darker complexion, higher education, immigrant status, and young age.”.
The Executive Order allowed for the forced exclusion of Japanese-Americans from certain areas to provide security against sabotage and espionage and property. Some of those imprisoned died in the camps due to a lack of proper medical care. Others were killed for not obeying orders.
According to a 1943 report published by the War Relocation Authority, which ran the camps, Japanese-Americans were housed in "tarpaper-covered barracks of simple frame construction without plumbing or cooking facilities of any kind." These overcrowded accommodations were bleak and surrounded by barbed wire. President Roosevelt himself called them "concentration camps."
Jewish -Americans: Although Jews first arrived in America over 300 years ago and enjoyed a certain level of religious freedom, anti-Semitism was acceptable and common socially, as well as legally in some cases. For example, some states in the late 18th century barred those who were not Christian from voting or holding public office. However, these barriers were later removed, especially with the enactment of the Bill of Rights.
As well, during the Holocaust in Europe during the 1940s, a ship of over 900 primarily German Jewish refugees was denied permission to land on U.S. soil, based on the exclusionary Immigration Act of 1924. Only one-third of the passengers, who were forced to return to Europe, survived the genocide of Jews on the continent at the time.
The Ku Klux Kan, one of the most virulent and violent hate groups in America, did not just direct their rage at African-Americans. Jews were also a target.
As well, discrimination against Jews was practiced in some cases in the workforce, and they were not permitted entry into a number of resort areas and social clubs. Colleges also practiced discrimination by limiting their enrolment. In a number of cases, Jews were forbidden from buying certain types of property.
Islamophobia is the term that has been coined to describe the current hostility toward Islam and Muslims in the United States, manifested in prejudice, harassment and discrimination. The Pew Forum on Religion and Public life found last year that positive opinions of Islam among Americans have declined since 2005. Islamophobia intensified after the 9/11 terror attacks, as well as the subsequent wars on Iraq and Afghanistan. Muslims in the United States over the last decade have been subject to 700,000 interviews by the FBI, wiretapping, phone surveillance, and racial profiling. Added to this is the rhetoric of hate and misinformation fueled by so-called terrorism experts, right-wing authors, television and radio talk show hosts and personalities, as well as countless blogs and websites that demonize Islam and Muslims and automatically link them to terrorism.
Islamophobia today is the only acceptable racism left. It remains to be seen how long its cycle will run before there is zero cultural and legal tolerance for it, as is the case with racism against other minority groups in the United States today.

What is the recommended valve clearance?
Opinions may vary between piston and valve manufacturers, but a popular consensus is a minimum clearance of . 080-inch for the intake and . 100-inch for the exhaust. The exhaust valve expands more due to heat from combustion, and therefore needs additional clearance.
What is the valve clearance?
What are valve clearances? Valve clearances on motorcycle and car engines effectively relate to the gap between the top of the valve stem and the cam that operates it. The inlet valves in the engine open to allow air and fuel into the cylinder, while the exhaust valves let the burnt gases out.
How do you know if valve clearance is incorrect?
Recognizing the Early Signs of Misaligned Valves Once your valves start to lose their proper clearance, they’ll be easy to notice. Your car may have a rough time idling, especially before it has time to warm up. This rough idling is caused by the valve opening late, choking off fuel.
What happens if Valve clearance is too small?
Too much or too little valve clearance can result in poor performance or a rough idle because the engine can’t “breathe” normally and operate at peak efficiency. If there’s too little valve clearance, the valves won’t fully close, causing excessive heat, and the engine will lose power.
Do valves get tighter or looser?
Valves almost always get tighter.
When should valve clearance be adjusted?
The clearance is correct when the gauge is a close sliding fit between the two parts. If the clearance is wrong, either the blade cannot enter the gap or it is loose, so that you can move the rocker up and down with the blade in place.
How do I know if my valves need to be adjusted?
You should have your valve lash inspected at manufacturers recommended intervals. A sure sign that it’s time for a valve lash adjustment is if your engine is making a loud clicking or tapping noise when starting up or if you experience a loss in engine power.
How fast is Yamaha FX HO?
62.6 MPH
The FX HO reaches a top speed of 62.6 MPH. Maneuverability was outstanding thanks to the RIDE system. Starting at full speed, it can decelerate in almost half the distance.
How many hours will a Yamaha jet boat last?
The reliability of Yamaha’s motors will vary depending on which motor you choose. Because they offer both inboard and outboard, they could have a lifespan that ranges from 1,500 to over 3,000 hours.

It seems as though Ms. Stefani has had some incidents in which another young, presumably female, individual has made some disparaging remarks about her character. Upon learning of the situation, Ms. Stefani is informing this “culprit” that she intends to handle this matter physically. Ms. Stefani’s character is such that she is not the type of person who counters verbal attacks with verbal attacks, or “hollering back.” Using terminology that is commonplace among today’s youth, this is shortened to “hollaback.” Additionally, it appears as though this altercation will take place somewhere near the bleachers.

A significant portion of my artistic endeavour is focused on portraiture from the mind’s eye. Drawings, prints and sculptures arrived at through an intuitive process, looking at human identity both in a contemporary and a historical context. It’s a work led initiative, in which I try to understand my creative output through the thoughts and reflections it provokes.
Identity poses some deeply philosophical questions which I feel can be touched upon through art. In my exploration of identity, I’ve been struck by the complexity of being, particularly the infinitely layered and multi-dimensional state that we bring into each “moment”. Yet we just have to take this state for granted as we saunter through life, but as an artist trying to capture “moments” through imagery one starts to awaken to the complexity of it. And I’ve grown to realise that there is no single answer or solution to an expression yet I must make and record my gestures. One solution I’ve found has been to rework the same images in order to re-tell the same story in a different shade. I’ve also played with repeating and overlaying images suggesting the arrival in the moment, work which made me realise the impossibility of the moment in the continuum of time.
Having established the complexity of “being” through my imagery, I’ve been able to look at the act of existing with a greater sense of freedom. To explore soulful intuition, the rational and logical approach and also to explore with a greater breadth of emotion, from the “happy happy” to the darn right “angry angry” and all that lies between. I can tell you that it hasn’t been an easy process, involving a confrontation of my limitations in an attempt to free myself from the conditioning society has imposed on me. At times I’ve felt truly deconstructed and bereft of my own identity, utterly lost as I’ve searched deeply within myself.
Through the story of my own artistic evolution, memory has been an essential element in my study of identity because it forms the building blocks of who I am. From a young age we are almost expected to have a favourite colour and from here we start to become restricted by identifying traits that we will remember, (I personally believe that it’s not possible to have a favourite colour). However memory is selective and can often imprison us through the blind following of past precedence and our desire for security and stability. In my pursuit of creativity I feel held back by memory as I look to create something new without an attachment to the past, which is why I strive for new ways to approach creativity without baggage. In this sense I often feel washed of my sensibility as I approach a new piece of work as a new beginning.
I sense that identity is becoming a big issue in the liberal western societies as people awaken to new freedoms and possibilities. People now openly identify with a greater number of gender and sexually based possibilities, the latest I’ve heard about is digisexual amongst the many others. There are other issues too concerning religion and spirituality, as humanity continues to try and understand its reason for existence. So who and what are we in these times of choice, do we need to be specific or can we change and identify with a more fluid identity, to reflect the times. Can we at last just relax into the knowledge that we need not be governed by dogmatic absolutes and just enjoy awakened life. Life without hierarchy and false constructs through which we judge and jostle for position, in a place called utopia.
Another example of the shifting identity and identification in individuals can be seen through patriotism, where citizens are encouraged to stand behind a flag just because they’re born in a country, when from another perspective they are really just citizens of the world. Born onto a planet into a brief moment of freedom before being divided by constructed borders over which we fight and defend as a matter of honour. Noble savages fighting to maintain their own states of imprisonment to dogmatic doctrines. Ideologies, religions and doctrines forming a political theatre of conflict in the global hierarchy.
Yes indeed, identity is a huge topic and with each new element one considers the more it grows. For instance gender is becoming increasingly relevant and critical as we reflect upon the hierarchical societies built upon patriarchy, not only because of the global consequences but also because of the implications to the individual. In fact the way we see is entirely influenced by the dogmatic systems we have enforced and had enforced upon ourselves. To this extent we are both prisoners to the system and prisoners to ourselves.
Over the past ten years or so the social media has had a huge impact on society and with it the concept of the selfie in which we turn the camera upon ourselves as we project our identity into the virtual world. This act in itself draws parallels with the artists struggle for identity which can be seen in the self portraits of seemingly self obsessed artists. And in this respect I see the selfie as a liberating tool for people to become more aware of their identity and broaden their range of perception as happens with the artists once they understand themselves a little better.
As an artist I feel compelled to explore my humanity on a deep level and I feel that this project based on identity, is quite relevant to contemporary life. Which is why I’m investing the time and energy into finding a way of sharing it.
Thanks for looking and any comments would be appreciated 🙂

English Bulldog Shares Kisses With Wild Manatee54s
English Bulldog Shares Kisses With Wild Manatee
While Kayaking with his English Bulldog, a Florida man encountered a group of five playful manatees who were keeping them company and swam by their kayak. This English Bulldog named Frapp approached one of the manatees, they scrubbed their noses, kissed and played for a while. So cool! Manatees are large, fully aquatic, mostly herbivorous marine mammals sometimes known as sea cows. One sea cow took this friendship to the next level and swam around the kayak before mustering up the courage to offer a nose kiss with the dog. It is very interesting to see how this Bulldog is overly excited to see the manatee move in the water, he follows his every move, like he wants to use telepathy to tell him to come to the surface. Luckily, this manatee does read minds and slowly after he takes his head off water and greets the dog. Frapp has an ongoing love affair with manatees and seeks them out daily ever since. Too bad, these two lovebirds are separated by land and sea. Animals have feelings, too, and don't mind the differences when it comes to love at first sight. This, indeed, is a strange friendship to begin with, but as long as they are both happy, they can continue enjoying their adorable encounters and share a smooch or two.

HOW DO Live Casinos Help You Improve Your Gaming Skills?
Live casino games with live dealers have been a big online casino trend. This was on the list of final developments in 2021 and has risen very quickly since. This industry is certainly more advanced than almost every other online casino sports. And yet the mere presence of a live casino and actual live dealer provides individual gamer special benefits. If you’ve never played a live casino game, then you’re passing up on one of the biggest experiences on earth. But if you are a fan of live casinos, you then know precisely how special these games can be.
live casino
What does it mean to “live casino?” This sort of gaming identifies those where players actually step within their actual casino or video poker room and interact with other real-time players. While this may seem like the most futuristic method of gambling, it has actually been with us for a few years now. Live gaming has really only increased in popularity over the past few years.
Why has it become so popular? In all honestly, it’s because out of all the benefits which come from having a dealer. Most live casinos have actual dealers that give hands at blackjack, craps, baccarat, and even slots. The benefit 마카오 갤럭시 카지노 회원카드 to the players is twofold. To begin with, it offers them with a tangible experience that can’t be replicated with a computer screen. And second, it allows the casinos to increase their profits by firmly taking less of a risk on each hand or every round by devoid of to constantly focus on watching the other players.
But why do they offer it in the first place? Live games have benefits over online or download-based gaming. Just about the most important reasons is simply as you can get involved much more intimately. It’s more real and more tangible, which can stimulate your own cognitive processes and actions. This pertains to other types of gambling, as well, such as slots, video poker, roulette, and even online bingo.
However, what’s vital that you remember is that live casino games may also be different than online casino gambling in different ways. Online gambling is basically text-based (although it can be played using a voice chat program). Live gaming will be a lot more action-oriented. So, how exactly does it compare? Well, read on to discover.
The main difference between online roulette and live dealer games is that there aren’t any cards, dice, or coins involved. Most of these things are completely abstracted from the knowledge. In this manner, the participant experiences a virtual reality it doesn’t require physical presence. Without placing bets, there is absolutely no chance that a player will lose money. Everything is simply predicated on pure chance.
Quite simply, it is possible to play casino games all night on end, without ever feeling any real pressure or stress. It is possible to rest, relax, and just benefit from the whole game without fretting about losing money. You’ll find nothing for you to win or to gain. This allows the participant to totally immerse himself into the gaming experience table games. And, actually, there are some games where you could just relax and relax, enjoying the visual stimulation and the entire “frenzy” of the virtual casino environment.
For most players, roulette is their favorite casino table game. It offers players the same adrenaline rush they would get from playing a live casino game, but without the worry of actually losing money. Lots of people see roulette as a game of skill rather than chance. Which means that players can sit back and simply enjoy themselves. Sometimes, people enjoy playing roulette with virtual dealers since they can merely choose whichever virtual dealer that they want, allowing them to obtain the same experience as if they were actually in an actual casino.

Ageing is a gift
Updated: Feb 12
I was listening to this podcast from On Purpose yesterday when the above line came and it kinda stuck .
We take every year of our life as a given, so much so that , instead of being extremely grateful that we get to live another year we whine about getting old.
True we are getting old but we are also living another day, a year.
We need to understand that tomorrow is never a given and this should essentially put things in perspective for us.
Here's to growing old .

Medical Weirdness Runs In My Family
We just can't play "by the book," it seems. Mom is doing really well in all aspects of her recovery, except that she's leaking a mystery fluid (which is now assumed to be chyle) at an alarming rate. The weirdness that put her back in the hospital over the weekend is now thought to have merely been a rather severe reaction to a cephalosporin. There was no infection (a huge praise), and everything looks great.
She's gotten three of her drains out, and is spinning her wheels at home, but the two remaining drains are collecting an abundance of this chyle at present, so they stay in. There is most likely a fissure somewhere that is allowing this fluid to leak out, and unless it heals spontaneously, we're looking at more surgery to locate and repair it. Obviously, no one wants that, but we can't get her to stop leaking!
Thanks again to everyone for all the continued support, prayers, and positive thinking on my mom's behalf. If she could just get rid of those stupid drains now, she'd be back in full swing in no time. What's worrisome is that she can't proceed with the treatment of the cancer (if such treatment shall be required) until this issue with the leaking chyle is resolved.
It's all very frustrating.
1. Oh, that has to be disheartening. I'm happy to hear that there was no infection, and will continue to keep her in my thoughts.
2. Hugs to you and to her. My dear friend Sara had drain problems that were resolved. I just tell you this to let you know it's not uncommon, and this too shall pass.
Your mama sounds like a survivor.
When it's all over, Bella should read the book Ida B. Not now; it's too soon. (Mom in book survives cancer)
3. Sorry Mom has sprung a leak. Hope they get a medical "finger in the dike" and she is home soon on the way to full recovery.
4. It seems like the drains are the biggest headache of the whole thing for everyone. I'm praying that they stop draining so she can move forward with whatever treatment is required!! Hugs!
5. Oh Belinda, I just read about what all your mom and family have been going through.
Please know that my prayers are added to all those she's already received.
7. I'm clearly way behind on blog reading... I'm so sorry about your mom. Sounds like things are going well so far though. She'll be in our thoughts and prayers.
8. Loving and praying and thinking of you all.
9. Hi,
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
10. So hey...this is your old friend from Gibson Hall. You know...your roomie that tolerated doves with no cage! I occasionally check your blog to see what's going on. I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I hope that she is doing well. Andrea is beautiful (as always) and so is Bella. I miss talking to you. E-mail me at Love Ya
wow gold

12. Belinda:
Just stopping by to say hello and Merry Christmas and get mooned by a turkey over here...I'm so sorry to read about your mom but glad to know she is recovering well.
God bless!
p.s. belated birthday wishes to your adorable girl!
13. So sorry about your mother darlin'. All my best thoughts to you and your family. When I first read that the leaking fluid was called "Chyle", the first thing I thought of was tea. Sorry! Wikipedia said it *is* milky though...

The PID algorithm was created specifically as a tool to provide an automated control framework to efficiently effect change within a system to get it to reach a target state. In the example above, it was heating a cup of coffee, but it could also be keeping a boat straight on course while external factors such as wind and current tries to pull it off heading, or keeping a drone level while air turbulence tries to throw it off balance.
And while PID is referred to as a single algorithm, in fact, there are specialized variants that tackle various kinds of problems. Together these form a family of solutions that are all generally based on the same mathematic principles.
Ideal vs. Standard
In this guide, we’re going to examine the ideal PID algorithm, and the more common standard algorithm. The ideal algorithm is the canonical textbook algorithm and is the basis for nearly all PID controller algorithm derivatives, however, the standard algorithm is much more versatile, common, and perhaps intuitive.
In nearly all cases, PID is based on three mathematical terms:
• Proportional - Describes how far away from the target state the system is, and how much force to apply to change it.
• Integral - Describes the cumulative error, which is how much the change being applied is actually changing the system.
• Derivative - Describes the rate of change, and can be useful in predicting how the system will change in the future.
Equation and Algorithm
The ideal PID algorithm can be described mathematically as the following:
It looks pretty complicated, but is actually quite simple, and is probably better understood visually, in the following block diagram:
Calculation Steps
The actual algorithm has three steps to it:
1. Calculate the Error - The current error is the difference between the desired target, reference state and the current actual state.
2. Calculate the PID Corrections - The corrections needed to change the system state to the desired state are calculated by multiplying the current error by the Proportional, Integral, and Derivative corrective action calculations. While they are based on calculus, each of these calculations are trivial and examined below.
3. Sum the Corrections - Add together all three corrective actions into a single change quantity.
The output might then be a value such as 0.75, which specifies that the hotplate needs to be set to 75% power, in order to arrive at the desired temperature, based on the current conditions.
Other Output Values
If the controller were used in an system that kept a boat on a heading, or a car between lines, then the output might mean something else. For example, it might be between something like -0.5 and 0.5, in which a negative value meant a left heading, and a positive value meant a right heading.
Individual Correction Gain Constants and Tuning
Each correction action is usually defined by a property on the controller and is specific to the particular system (more specifically, the system’s response to change) and is called the gain constant. For instance, on the Netduino.Foundation IPIDController the Proportional correction factor is exposed as the ProportionalGain property, and the Integral and Derivative correction factors are exposed as the IntegralGain and DerivativeGain properties.
This allows for the PID controller instance to be tuned to the particular system that it’s used on. For instance, systems that require big control inputs to change, might have a high ProportionalGain value.
In order to understand how to use these factors, it’s important to understand what each one is and what its effect is on the control output.
The error is simply the difference between the target value value and the actual value. For instance, if the target value is 75ºC, and the coffee is currently at 50ºC, then the error is 25.
Proportional Corrective Action
The proportional calculation is the simplest of all; it simply multiplies the error factor by a specified proportion multiplier. For instance, if the error is 25, and the ProportionGain is set to 0.8, then the output gain would be adjusted by 25 * 0.8, or 20.
Effect of the Proportional Correction
Changing the ProportionalGain generally affects how strongly the controller responds to error. A higher ProportionalGain means that the controller will send a larger power change in response to a system change away from target. Systems that are resistant to change and therefore need stronger inputs will require a higher value, but systems that change easily may require subtle changes and will do better with smaller values.
The following graph illustrates the reaction of a sample system to various ProportionGain (K). A higher gain means that the system gets to the target state faster, but has much more error. Whereas a lower gain means less error, but it takes longer to affect change:
PID varyingP
When tuning the ProportionalGain, a good starting place for the value is 1.
Bias & Offset Error
Using only proportional control has a major drawback; many system will continue to oscillate forever, and never stay at a zero error. This is because if the error is zero, then the proportional correction, and therefore the control output will be at zero. But in the case of heating the coffee; that means it will cool down, causing the error to increase, and therefore repeating the process of trying to achieve zero error.
For this reason, in primitive proportional only control systems, sometimes a bias is added to the control output which can maintain system stability when the error is zero:
For example, in the coffee example, when the coffee gets up to temp, in order to keep it at temp, we probably need to keep the hot plate on at some percent of maximum to maintain the coffee temp.
Offset Error
The problem with a bias, however, is that it only works with a fixed, specific, condition. For instance, a bias of say 25% power might keep a coffee cup at 75ºC if the ambient air temp is 22ºC, but what would happen if the coffee cup warmer were to be run outside on a cool day, when the ambient air temp were 5ºC?
In this case, the bias would actually produce a continuous oscillation error, since whenever the error got to zero, the bias would cause the temp to drop. In fact, if the proportional gain were not high enough, it’s possible that the coffee would never reach ideal temp. For example, if it were so cold out that the hotplate needed to be run continuously at 80% just to maintain a temperature of 75ºC, but the proportional output + bias were only 75%, it would never get to temp.
This error condition is known as offset. Offset happens when the specified proportional gain constant isn’t enough to counteract whatever external force is being applied to the system.
To counteract this, the bias would have to be manually adjusted to suit these conditions. This manual adjustment is known as manual reset, and led to the inclusion of the integral corrective action.
Integral Corrective Action
In calculus, the integral is defined as the area under the graph of a function between two particular x coordinates. For example, it could be the blue area in the following graph of our coffee :
If we knew the exact definition of the brown curve, as a mathematical function, we could use some calculus to tell us exactly what the derivative was between any two given x (time) coordinates.
However, in real life systems, we almost never know that, so we sample the actual value (y) of the thing we’re trying to control (coffee temp) at regular intervals, and approximate the area by multiplying y by the time interval (x), which provides the bounds of a rectangle. For example, if we sampled our coffee temp every minute, the area graph might look like the following:
If the readings were: { 24º, 38º, 70º, 86º, 97º, 98º, 97º, 88º, 80º, 73º }, we would add each one, multiplied by the time interval (1minute) to get the signal integral:
Given T1 ... T10:
(24*1)+(38*1)+(70*1)+(86*1)+(97*1)+(98*1)+(97*1)+(88*1)+(80*1)+(73*1) = 751
∑(T1 ... T10) = 751
The resolution of the integral gets better as the number of data points increases, which is accomplished by reducing the interval time.
Effect of the Integral Correction
While the proportional action will attempt to correct based on any instantaneous error, by using an integral calculation, the PID controller can adjust for error over time. It tracks the accumulated error offset and attempts to either increase or decrease the rate of change.
This is important because the integral action will break out of the offset error via incremental steps beyond any proportional change limits. This means that in time it will even drive the error to zero on its, but it can be slow; which is why it’s most effectively used in conjunction with the proportional action. The following graph illustrates a sample system response to an integral-only algorithm:
The integral action is also known as autoreset, because it doesn’t require a manual bias change to deal with the offset error.
The following diagram illustrates what can happen in a sample system at various integral gain constants when the proportional and derivative gains are constant:
PID Change with Integral
Too much integral gain can cause oscillation via overcorrection, whereas too little integral gain will cause a slow approach to error.
Derivative Correction Action
The Derivative action calculates the rate of change, which is defined as the slope of the line and uses that to predict how quickly the system will change. This sounds fantastic in theory, but is actually only used in about a quarter or less of all PID controllers. One of the reasons is that because it relies on the slope of the line, any noise in the sensor reading will cause wild fluctuations. However, in systems where the sensor readings are very clean, the derivative corrective action can be very effective. One way to smooth out sensor noise is to average or oversample the results.
Derivative action is most often used in motor/servo control, and will often replace the usage of the integral action, since the exact characteristics of the bias of the system are known.

'No excuses' Socceroos roll up sleeves
Nov 7th, 2017Nov 7th, 2017
The Socceroos might be missing a trio of stars for their World Cup qualifiers with Honduras but Bailey Wright believes they've never been stronger.
It's why veteran attacker Tim Cahill called the Central American match-up a tougher assignment than Australia's 2005 intercontinental playoff against Uruguay.
"This is a great opportunity to qualify ... a lot of work has gone in to get us to this point. We'll do what we set out to do and that's qualify.
Cahill made a brief appearance at training, stretching with teammates before walking laps in sneakers.
Tomi Juric, who scored in a 90-minute appearance for club side Luzern two days ago, also did light work in sneakers.
Jackson Irvine missed the session but his participation in Saturday's (AEDT) match is not in doubt.
Mile Jedinak is back in the fold but Mark Milligan, Mat Leckie (suspension) and Robbie Kruse (knee) won't be in Honduras, removing 170 caps worth of experience.
Wright believes less seasoned Socceroos can use the occasion to kick-start international careers.
"(Mile's) a big boost for us, him coming back. He's a real leader and a great character.
"We've not just prepared 11 people or a squad of 23. We've got a squad of 40 ready to step in and do the job.
It's a slow pitch, composed of different types of grass and similar to what they'll encounter at Estadio Olympico Metropolitano.
"Ideally you want to play on a nice pitch," Wright said. "(But) that's not the way it goes and it never does. We just get on with it."

Review of “Designing the New American University”
Chapter 7 is the key chapter of the book, in which the authors detail the design of Arizona State as a ‘New American University’ (and make a nice sales pitch for the university in the process). Crow and Dabars celebrate the growth of Arizona State, which has been matched by only a small number of public research universities. They note that a stronger focus on access has hurt them in the U.S. News rankings, a key measure of prestige—while celebrating their ranking as an ‘Up and Coming School.’ (In the Washington Monthly rankings that I compile, ASU is a very respectable 28th.) The scale of ASU allows the possibility for cost-effective operations, something which the university is trying to measure through their Center for Measuring University Performance.
It certainly seems like some elements of the changes at ASU could potentially be adopted at other research universities, but it is worth noting that research universities make up only about 200-300 of the over 7,500 postsecondary institutions in the United States. I am left wondering what the `New American’ model would look like in other sectors of higher education, which is beyond the scope of this book but an important question to answer. Some other questions to consider are the following:
(1) How would a commitment to growth happen at colleges without the prestige or market power to attract significant numbers of out-of-state students?
(2) ASU seems to have done more academic reorganizations in research-intensive departments. How would this work at a more teaching-oriented institution?
(3) How will the continuing growth of ASU Online, as well as the multiple branch campuses in the Phoenix metropolitan area, affect the organizational structure? At what point, if any, does a university reach the maximum optimal size?
(4) Will ASU’s design remain the same once Michael Crow is not president? (And is that a good thing?)
Overall, this is a solid book that is getting a substantial amount of attention for good reason. While the book could have been about 50 pages shorter while still conveying all of the important information, the final chapter is highly recommended reading. I plan to assign that chapter to my organization and governance classes in the future so they can understand how ASU is growing and succeeding through an atypical higher education model.

Why Playing Online Roulette is effective
Why Playing Online Roulette is effective
Online roulette is without a doubt one of online casinos’ most popular games. It is easy to learn, fast to play, and offers an excellent gaming experience. There are a number of different ways to take pleasure from online roulette. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to understand these before finding the right online casino for online roulette. Here are a few of them.
online roulette
An easy task to Learn: Since online roulette doesn’t need a lot of strategy or skills, most people can play it with relative ease. Most importantly, though, it is still an easy task to learn the tricks of the trade by learning the basics of this casino’s game and how each variation of the wheel works. Once you have learned the intricacies of roulette betting, then you can certainly start making your own bets on what numbers or colors the wheels will turn.
Free Wheel: A free wheel is an online roulette option that spins the wheels automatically. You don’t need to stop the spinning of the wheels in order to make your own bets. That is an advantageous feature, especially if you would like to place bets based on trends or random number generators.
User friendly: Since roulette games are played using virtual money instead of real money, they are easy to play. Even newcomers to online roulette games can master it after only a few minutes of practice. This is one of its important elements, since it is vitally important to learn how to use this online roulette game to its full potential. You need to learn how to make the proper bets with the period of time accessible to you.
No bets limits: In online roulette, there is absolutely no such thing as ‘bets limit’. You may wager as much as you want, so long as you stay inside your deposit limit. You are not under any obligation to stick to the bet you have made on that particular wheel. This adds fun and excitement to the game since you can play so long as you need without paying additional fees for playing bets. And, you never have to be worried about getting pulled off the table by a big win.
Minimal house edge: The home edge, the money kept by the casino, is why you need to pay taxes on your winnings in a live casino. But, online roulette games don’t possess such taxes because you’re playing free of charge. Since there are no taxes, there’s also no need to pay anything along 007 카지노 쿠폰 with what you’ve already won, so you have the ability to keep more of your winnings.
Online roulette wheel: One of the biggest top features of online roulette games is the usage of the wheel. The spin function allows you to set a specific amount of spins on the roulette wheel with respect to the outcome you want. There are also options where one can set the amount of spins that you imagine will win the pot on a particular spin, thus eliminating the possibility of another person winning the pot after you have.
Enjoy playing online roulette: Many players believe that playing online roulette is similar to playing ‘real’ roulette in a casino. Actually, they’re both online and offline versions of roulette. You place your bets in a totally virtual environment, just like when you’d play at a ‘real’ casino. You can use your own favorite betting software program or it is possible to simply place bets using your mouse. You can also enjoy the capability of playing online roulette from the comfort of your house with your laptop, so long as you have an Internet connection and a browser window open that can display graphics of what you will see on the reels.

Re: execute a file in backslash notation from shell

It never occurred to me that shells are unable to execute their first word in the Windows native backslash format,

I suspect that none of the shells was ever patched to attempt the "native Windows to POSIX" conversion on the first word of the command line.
Ideally, the patches would not be necessary had the shells used a
filename translation/detection/manipulation API. But Posix does not seem to provide a
complete API for this.
Alternatively, the shells could attempt to execute the first word as a
program through the exec..() family of C library calls.
Instead, bash and pdksh execute the first word of the command line in
the following cases.
(a) The first word has forward slashes.
(b) Concatenation of the first word against elements of PATH points
(probably, with addition of default suffixes) to an existing file.
I am attaching a patch to pdksh that allows to execute the first word in
backslash notation. This might be necessary for GNU make based build systems
that could pass a backslash filename to SHELL as a command.
Thanks but the point of Cygwin is that individual applications shouldn't need altering in order to build and run. The intent is also to provide a POSIX environment supporting POSIX paths. The Cygwin DLL provides some facilities to convert POSIX<->DOS paths. This can be invoked directly using the 'cygpath' utility or Cygwin will do it transparently generally, but you have to properly quote the path (i.e. escape the backslashes or enclose the whole path inside ' '). There are some limitations to the transparent handling of DOS paths, since this requires detecting that the path is DOS. Some conventions of DOS paths conflict with that of POSIX. In those cases, the algorithm comes down on the side of POSIX. But 'cygpath' can always be used to help in these cases.

Abigail (Ariel Winter)
abigail the quarry
2K games
Abigail is the quintessential ‘final girl’, but that’s up to you.
Abi is a sweet girl, a bit of a nerd, who is Emma’s best friend, much more confident in herself. She has a crush on the nice guy at camp, Nick, but she worries that he doesn’t share her feelings.

Ryan (Justice Smith)
ryan the quarry
2K games
Ryan is a horror fanatic. He knows the rules.
Ryan is described as a “brooding loner” and spends most of his time listening to horror podcasts and telling ghost stories. He has a close friendship with Chris Hackett, the owner of the camp, and takes his duties as a counselor very seriously.

Nick (Evan Evagora)
nick the quarry
2K games
Nick is a good guy, but the good guys end up last in horror.
Nick is a decent and well-regarded member of the camp who is best friends with the much more outgoing Dylan. He reciprocates Abigail’s feelings, but isn’t sure how to act on them.

Dylan (Miles Robbins)
dylan the quarry
2K games
Dylan is the comic relief of the game, but will that keep him safe?

Chris “Mr H” (David Arquette)
chris the quarry
2K games

Travis (Ted Raimi)
travis the quarry
2K games
Travis is the local sheriff who knows more than he’s letting on.
Travis is the creepy town sheriff who is clearly connected to Hackett’s Quarry in some way. Laura and Max meet him very early in the game and both parties are very suspicious of each other.

Bobby (Ethan Suplee)
bobby the quarry
2K games

Eliza (Grace Zabriskie)
eliza the quarry
2K games
Eliza is ready to help the player, but she has her own agenda.
Eliza is one of the most mysterious and important characters in The Quarry. She will help the player by reading tarot cards to predict the future, but as the night progresses, it becomes clear that she has goals of her own.

Shagle just isn’t exactly What it seems Warning that is)
Shagle just isn’t exactly What it seems Warning that is)
Since the site’s title indicates, it is a niche site like Omegle for shagging, or in the USA, sex as we like to call it. Welcome to our Shagle review. We are going to inform you how a random chat site com that is shagle works and provide you with the down-low regarding the serious dangers of employing shagle. To begin with shagle isn’t on our top cam internet sites list as it’s honestly not for adult cam chatting.
What exactly is Shagle & so how exactly does it Work?

Here’s what claims that are shagle provide to their website:
Shagle is certainly not just exactly what this indicates in that almost all of the users are dudes over 18 shopping for intercourse cam talk.
“Fully Anonymous Random Chat Web Site. You will be anyone you intend to be on Shagle, other users will not visit your information that is personal.
Therein lies the chance. We shall return to that anonymous random talk aspect later on but we first desire to summarize just just what this webcams random talk site has. Shagle claims and delivers on the claim of linking random strangers from all over the whole world at no cost with the use of webcams and a straightforward chat room that is one-on-one.
Unfortuitously, plenty of older guys make use of sites like shagle with bad intent.
Regarding the site’s website, Shagle claims to own a 38% feminine account within a person base of over 3,000,000 month-to-month users, that are reasonable chances for anybody who’s ever been on a webcams chat web web web site or a dating website, particularly as you can filter lavalife com to just talk with users of your selected sex and location.
The sex makeup can’t be real though considering that the tests that are shagle did indicated that it is a lot more like 85% males and 15% ladies. Continue reading “Shagle just isn’t exactly What it seems Warning that is)”

Chief Justice Khil Raj Regmi to be sworn-in as Nepal Prime Minister
Kathmandu: A cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai has endorsed the decision by Nepal's four major political parties to form an election government, paving the way for Chief Justice Khil Raj Regmi to be sworn-in as the country's new leader on Thursday.
Prime Minister Bhattarai later met President Ram Baran Yadav to inform him of the cabinet's decision.
The swearing-in ceremony of the new head of government Chief Justice Regmi will be held on Thursday morning, according to party sources.
Earlier, ending months of political deadlock, Nepal's four major political parties reached a deal to form an election government as thorny issues were resolved during a marathon meeting.
Top leaders of the parties signed an 11-point political consensus document to form a Chief Justice-led election government. This will be endorsed by the existing cabinet after which it will be taken to the President for approval.
"The political parties have reached consensus on four key issues including citizenship, voters' list, Truth and Reconciliation Commission and rank of the former Maoist combatants to be integrated into the Nepal Army after a marathon 12-hour meeting," said central member of Nepali Congress Bimalendra Nidhi.
Nidhi was present during the 12-hour marathon meeting attended by UCPN-Maoist, Nepali Congress, CPN-UML and Joint Madhesi Front.
63-year-old Chief Justice Regmi will be sworn-in as the chairman of the Council of Ministers that would conduct election to the Constituent Assembly, Nidhi told PTI.
The meeting convened at the office of the Special Committee for Army Integration, was attended by Unified CPN-Maoist chairman Prachanda, Nepali Congress president Sushil Koirala, CPN-UML chairman Jhalanath Khanal and senior Madhesi leader and Health Minister Rajendra Mahato among others.
However some 18 fringe political parties including CPN-Maoist led by Mohan Vaidya, the breakaway faction of the UCPN-Maoist, have submitted a memorandum to the President on Wednesday showing their reservation to the decision.
The major parties have also agreed to conduct the Constituent Assembly polls by mid-June, Nidhi said.
However, Chief Justice Regmi has sought time till November, to which the political parties were positive, he added.
The major parties have agreed to form the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for providing transitional justice at the earliest by incorporating the issues raised by the Maoists as well as the opposition parties.
With regards to the rank of the Maoist combatants being integrated into the national army, a full Colonel and two Lt Colonel posts will be given after they complete some training procedures, as per the agreement.
They have also agreed to update the voters list for the forthcoming election and tackle the citizenship issue as per the concern shown by the Madhesi parties.
Those, whose father or mother is Nepali will get citizenship by descent, as per the deal.
They have also agreed to clear all hurdles relating to conducting election and updating voters list through introducing an ordinance.
The decision to form a government led by Chief Justice will end months-long political deadlock in Nepal since the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly without drafting a constitution in May last year.
The new cabinet is likely to have eleven members, all the ex-civil servants and the Chief Justice is expected to announce the full cabinet on Thursday.

Watching passion and perseverance pay off
Editor’s Note: This article was originally published in The Harvard Gazette ( Reprinted with permission.
When Harvard University “de-densified” the campus to prevent the spread of COVID-19 last March, Robert Malate (Class of 2021) left Cambridge and traveled nearly 8,000 miles to his home on Saipan in the Northern Marina Islands.
“That was one of the toughest things I had to do. The time zone difference was 14 hours, and all of my classes were still ongoing,” he said. “I remember waking up at 3 o’clock in the morning to go to class. Having the discipline to push through and finish that semester was a huge adjustment for me.”
It was also a huge accomplishment that reinforced a lesson he learned time and again over the course of his four years at Harvard: passion and perseverance really do pay off.
Valedictorian of his high school class, Malate knew he wanted to pursue engineering and that he’d have to leave the island to do it. He figured if he had to go abroad for college, why not apply to the top Ivy League school?
It was a thrill to be admitted, but also a challenge to adjust to life so far from home. The population of the entire tropical island of Saipan (only 12 miles long and 5 miles wide) is about 55,000, while metro Boston, with its cold and snowy winters, is home to nearly 5 million people.
Robert Malate
Malate, who chose to concentrate in mechanical engineering at the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, found that building a tight-knit network of friends was a cure for homesickness. He developed strong relationships with peers in the Harvard Undergraduate Robotics Club and Harvard Undergraduate Aeronautics, where the aerospace-minded Malate had the opportunity to build an aircraft for the first time.
“It is cool to do all these equations and get a final derivation, but honestly it is kind of meaningless if it doesn’t translate to something,” he said. “So once I saw the aircraft actually working, I was amazed. I really enjoyed seeing how all the theoretical work translates into the real world. That taught me a whole new set of skills.”
Looking for an enriching experience outside of engineering, Malate decided to join the Harvard Breakers, the University’s break dancing club. He’d never danced before, but had seen peers break dancing and was curious about what was involved.
A lot of practice, it turns out.
“It took me a year just to learn one move, but it was worth the effort,” he said. “It was very different for me. In engineering, if you have a problem, you could just work on it the night before. But when you are trying to learn something like break dancing, you have to work on it every day. Learning what it takes to master a certain move has been really rewarding for me.”
The perseverance he developed as a break dancer has come in handy throughout his academic career, especially when he decided to dive into a brand new challenge—learning Mandarin Chinese.
To Malate, studying Chinese was much harder than even the toughest engineering problem.
“It is a really slow process for the benefits of all those language lessons to take effect,” he said. “But I really got to learn how to think a different way and communicate with people more clearly.”
He had a chance to put those language skills to good use during a summer spent teaching at a STEM camp in Suzhou, China. During the program, Malate taught 3D printing and computer programming to middle schoolers, and though the program was taught in English, there were many times when he had to dip into his linguistic knowledge to get a point across.
“It forced me to learn the material much better. Figuring out how to explain the material to students who were 11 years old was a new challenge. I couldn’t just throw in random jargon, since English wasn’t their main language,” he said. “So I had to figure out how I could explain these concepts in ways they could understand.”
He surprised himself by how much he enjoyed teaching. It was rewarding to see others light up when they grasped concepts or shared his excitement about topics, he said. So he began serving as a teaching fellow for “Mechanical Systems” (ES 125) and “Computational Solid and Structural Mechanics” (ES 128).
The patience he honed as a teacher has been especially useful in a research environment.
Fascinated by the Robobee project, Malate joined the Harvard Microrobotics Lab of Rob Wood, Charles River Professor of Engineering and Applied Sciences, during his junior year. Though he was working remotely due to the pandemic, he helped design a computer model to simulate the bending of the diminutive robot’s wings during flight.
It was a unique application of his interest in aeronautics, and helped inspire his senior thesis project. Malate is adding a buoyancy control unit to a robotic mermaid so it can dive deeper and better perform underwater tasks, like deep sea exploration.
After graduation, he plans to work internationally and focus on robotics companies that are developing tools that can improve people’s lives.
Looking back, despite the culture shock he felt at the outset of his college career, and the disruption of having to return to Saipan midway through his studies, Malate found a perfect fit at SEAS.
“Harvard engineering really is unique. Having the liberal arts environment enabled me to learn about so many other fields, and interact with people who are experts in those fields,” he said. “Harvard has so many people from vastly different backgrounds who can tell you many different stories.”

World news photos: China ‘buttock’ contest, protests, celebrations and more
Pride marches, demonstrations against the government of Venezuelan and an odd beauty contest glorifying the "buttock" are a few of the events covered in this week's roundup of world news in photos.
Opposition activists take shelter behind shields in clashes with police during a demonstration against the government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in Caracas on June 24, 2017, in front of the Francisco de Miranda air force base near the place where a young man was shot dead by an army member during an anti-government rally two days ago.

US warns of consequencies if jailed Navalyn dies
President Joe Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said the United States government has told Russia “there will be consequences” if Kremlin critic Alexey Navalyn dies in prison.
“We have communicated to the Russian government that what happens to Mr Navalny in their custody is their responsibility and they will be held accountable by the international community,” said Sullivan on CNN in Sunday.
“In terms of the specific measures that we would undertake, we are looking at a variety of different costs that we would impose and I am not going to telegraph that publicly at this point, but we have communicated that there will be consequences if Mr Navalny dies,” he added.
A doctor for Navalyn has said his health is deteriorating rapidly and the 44-year-old could be on the verge of death.
Navalyn, a prominent opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin started refusing food on March 31 to protest against a lack of proper medical treatment for his leg and back.
“This latest threat from the US ratchets up other diplomatic problems that have fallen on the two countries,” said Washington DC, citing recent sanctions imposed by the US on Russia.

Monday Night Poll Time!
Hey guys! So you probably wondering, why did I start doing this poll anyways? Well for starters, its not really a poll per-say, more so a series of questions that vary each week. I also figured that I would give you the opportunity to get to know me a little bit better!
1. Mood: A little stressed actually, haha. Dealing with car trouble is no fun! But other than that I’m just fine and dandy thank you!
2. Do you prefer oceans, lakes, or rivers? Doesn’t matter really! I love being outside in the sun (just as long as I have my sunscreen). I find it so relaxing being by the water soaking up some rays with a good book. Hence why I love summer.
3. What’s one makeup tip that has been of great help to you? Primer! Primer! Primer! Lot’s of it! Well, for the face anyways. You want to use about a quarter size before your foundation and a small dot for your eyes.
4. What are three things guaranteed to make you smile? 1) Being by the water. 2) Concerts. 3) Making people feel beautiful.
5. Regular or de-caf? Regular if its an iced coffee half-caf if its a hot coffee.
6. Have you ever played beach volleyball? Well does playing it during gym count? Haha. But technically speaking yes I have, however its not my thing.
7. When do you usually have the most energy during the day? I would have to think early afternoon. I’ve been up for a while and already ate and showered!
8. What’s one makeup or beauty product that you have been wanting to try but you quite haven’t gotten around to it yet? OOH! Thats a really good question, haha. I’ve been dying to try Inglot eyeshadows. I hear amazing things about them but I havent gotten around to placing an order.
9. Whats a book you loved as a child? Love You Forever by Robert Munsch and Sheila McGraw. Best book ever for a child! Haha.
10. Weekly goals: To take one thing at a time, cherish the little things in life, and to start exercising again.

1. My thoughts on the 2017 World Series
Nice post Warren. If last night wasn't a testament of how calling strikes can get hitter to swing the bat, I don't know if a better example exists. Miller put on a clinic last night.
2. Unsportsmanlike conduct and my
"F2 didn't think it was a strike either" Who cares what he thinks?
3. Is runner interference a live ball, delayed dead, or dead ball infraction? Perhaps we would need to make the call on the action inconsistent with running the bases prior to observing actual hinderance.
4. Double Play Attempt
By rule is there an infraction under any or all of the following codes? OBR, NCAA, NFHS
5. Vicinity balk @ 2B
This has definitely run its course. LOL
6. Having One or Both Feet Over Playing Surface on Catch
Begins his leap.
7. Knee Pop Balk
Nice example of the knee pop balk
8. Eclipse
Heading to Missouri on Saturday.
9. Two Umpires Make Opposite Call
No worries. Tone is tough.
10. Two Umpires Make Opposite Call
I know...I was attempting to be humorous.
11. Two Umpires Make Opposite Call
"Expert" We just go out on all the fly balls and then work two man. "Expert" lol
12. Two Umpires Make Opposite Call
I've pregamed this stuff with guys they shake their heads in the affirmative, "yep, yep, sounds good" It happens five minutes into the game and then they go and do the opposite. Can't make it up.
13. Ump Ejects Himself
14. RLI Called in LLWS Regional Maryland vs DC
For sure. Some MLB managers/players don't know all of the rules, we certainly can't expect folks at the amateur levels to understand RLI. The first few times I called it in my games they burned the damn fields down.
15. RLI Called in LLWS Regional Maryland vs DC
Perhaps...I'll err all day on a kid making a mistake because they're kids. (Doesn't mean I'm not going to make a call) I have less patience with adults.
16. RLI Called in LLWS Regional Maryland vs DC
This is a pretty easy call. I'm not even saying that the kid did anything intentional. He violated...sure. For every time is has been called on him there's probably another 50 times where he ended up on 2b or 3b due to one of our brethren not calling it for a multitude of reasons. As a coach...it's very easy to teach your kids....run to first base in the runner's lane. Wouldn't that be one of the easiest things a coach could teach a baseball player?
17. RLI Called in LLWS Regional Maryland vs DC
Oh sure. At a amateur level there is LOTS of work to be done in many facets of the game. With respect to Evan's opinion or anything else in MLB, I have no idea. I will defer to those who are in or nearer that circle than me.
18. RLI Called in LLWS Regional Maryland vs DC
OR...it can simply be called correctly so more runners learn to be compliant. More umpires need to have the seeds to call it and oddly enough runners will begin to follow the rule then it's no longer a problem. The half swing is the epitome of judgment calls which also leads to several ejections or escalated game tension...certainly that shouldn't go away.
19. RLI Called in LLWS Regional Maryland vs DC
Watched the video once in real time. I don't have a problem w/ the call the runner was non compliant the entire way down so he's not afforded protection the last couple strides to the base which is in fair territory. Nice job.
20. Darrin Sealey Resigns
So this hit the Internet within the last week or so... Then news of his resignation was also posted online. Very, very interesting. I wonder what caused people to start digging.
21. Darrin Sealey Resigns
I think the news is out there and this thread has run its course.
22. Ump Ejects Himself
What the article fails to mention is that the writer of the article is also the manager of the St. Peter team.
23. Ump Ejects Himself
Is it the ideal way to handle the situation? No. But I know personally that there's no good reason to be out there alone either. It's pretty decent baseball and you're out there ALONE...on an island. It's not that fun and it's very difficult. If an umpire lacks the game management skills he will either quit, or do something like this. How do you expect to recruit and retain when you have to send the new guy out there by himself and experience that? Oh...and I like how the slanted the perspective is from a bunch of players.

Par 3 Pong
A new challenge event
Bookmark and Share
follow me on facebook tweet me
get in touch
We have recently purchased an AiR 14 Cannon that is virtually silent. It is not the same experience as the AR-15 but can reach from 150 yards up to 325 yards and played on a short or long par 3.
To add a new twist, if you choose this version, we would set up 5 or more empty “Beer Tubs” on the green of a par 3. Each tub will be labeled differently. “Ace”, “Eagle”, “Birdie”, “Par”, “Bogey” and if any players land in one of the tubs, they score accordingly to the lowest tub. If they land on the green, they will putt as normal. This is brand new challenge that can only be used with the AiR 14 Cannon.
Great for courses that want a quiet alternative.

Why Is My Ring Turning My Finger Black? May 1, 2018 13:25
We get this question from time to time. Mostly from women, but also from men once in a while. The answer can be quite complicated (sorry). It can be as simple as taking the ring off at night, but it can be very complex and involve medications or hand lotions.
Why does my ring turn my finger black?
The answer below was copied from one of our favorite trade magazines, InStore. This was in the April 2018 edition. It is an excellent summary of areas to investigate if your ring is causing a reaction:
"Here is some helpful information: What do you do with a customer who claims their rings are turning their finger black?
Ask her if she’s recently changed her choice of hand lotion or make-up. This is the most common cause of such smudging, as cosmetics often contain chemical compounds, which — astonishingly — are harder than the jewelry itself. When these hard compounds come in contact with jewelry metals, abrasion occurs, causing tiny particles of metal to break off as a black dust. When mixed with perspiration or other liquids, it results in the alarming black stain.
It’s also possible that a change in diet or even a new course of medication is resulting in a chemical reaction where perspiration and metal meet. If she is going swimming with her jewelry on, chlorine is another possible suspect. To prevent the smudging, suggest she avoid cosmetics that contain zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, ferric oxide and calamine.
Also, tell her to try removing the rings while applying cosmetics and cleaning her fingers with soap and water in areas that will be in contact with her jewelry. Finally, if the problem persists, suggest she consider having the inside of the bands coated with rhodium to prevent such a reaction."

A Quick Education About Colored Diamonds August 21, 2015 17:09
Colored Diamonds From The Laboratory
We have a line of colored diamond jewelry at Chimera.
The colored diamonds we sell (usually) are natural, white diamonds that have been changed into colored diamonds. There are three methods that can be used singly or in combination with each other depending on the color desired.
Electron Irradiation - a pulsed beam of electrons that will induce color into the diamonds is fired at them. The light absorbing pattern is changed and so is the color. Used alone, this process gives diamonds a blue or greenish blue color.
Annealment - To expand the range of colors, super heating them in an oxygen-free environment in temperatures 900 degrees and higher allows us to get other shades of color. The atomic structure of the diamonds rearrange, and a new palate of colors is possible.
High Pressure High Temperature (Hpht) - The HPHT process recreates the heat and pressure that creates diamonds initially in the Earth. Sophisticated machinery is programmed to accent conditions to get yellows, oranges, and greens.
There is a fourth method consisting of coating the diamond, which is used to create a truly pink color. The coating is done at the pavilion - the lower part of the diamond. This allows the color to shine through the entire diamond.
The first three treatments are more stable than the fourth. Diamonds that have been irradiated and/or annealed will not fade over time and they will wear like a normal diamond. The only caveat is that when being worked on by a jeweler, they need to be careful NOT to expose the diamond to heat in excess of 900 degrees which could occur when sizing a ring.
The HPHT method requires no caution of any kind.
The technology creating colored diamonds has moved forward tremendously in the last decade. When we first opened in 2002, treating diamonds was reserved for those very low on the clarity scale (I1 to I3) because the science was very in-exact as to the results. Sometimes they came out looking terrible. Blue ones could be all over the color spectrum and it was hard to create diamonds that were a good color match even when they were treated together.
Fast forward to the present day, and companies like Lotus Color can provide colored diamonds with better clarity (SI1-2) and with wonderful consistency. This makes it much easier to design and build colored diamond jewelry that is affordable and beautiful.
They exist and they are extremely rare and costly. A 9.75 ct natural blue diamond (above) was auctioned in 2014 for 32.6 million dollars. Pink diamonds are found in Australia in very limited quantities and typically command prices in excess of what most of us can handle.
Typically a yellowish tint causes the price/value of a diamond to go down. That is true until the saturation of the yellow color reaches what GIA terms "Fancy" and then the price jumps up like a ROCKET!
Conclusion - creating colored diamonds in the lab is a wonderful way to make the long lasting beauty of colored diamond jewelry something that regular people can afford and appreciate. We are excited to offer colored diamond jewelry in our store and to you online.
Should I Wear My Jewelry In A Pool or Hot Tub? July 31, 2015 18:18 3 Comments
Information about the care, cleaning, and manufacture of fine jewelry.
Swimming pools, hot tubs and your jewelry.
The short answer to the question above is: NO to the pool and NO-NO-DEFINITELY NOT to the hot tub.
A few words of caution about SWIMMING POOLS and HOT TUBS. We do not recommend that any fine jewelry be worn in public swimming pools or hot tubs. Chlorine is a corrosive chemical - it won't do any harm to diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and some other gemstones, but it is not good for your white or yellow gold to say nothing of sterling silver.
Chlorine can also discolor and/or prematurely wear out your watch - even watches rated to be underwater. (See our blog post on that subject: Watch Ratings)
Hot tubs are waaay worse than pools because in addition to harsh chemicals, you have the addition of high temperatures AND the pressure of the water coming out of the jets. We do not recommend that any jewelry or watches be worn in hot tubs. Even watches that are rated to go under water to some degree can be infiltrated by the water coming out of the jets.
Hot tubs are great for humans - they are a TERRIBLE environment for your jewelry and watches. Take the little bit of extra time to remove your jewelry and watches BEFORE you get in.
Kevin asked if it is safe to wear his titanium ring in a hot tub on a daily basis. My answer to that would be.....maybe. If the titanium has any kind of enameling or stone of any kind in it, then NO. If it is a plain band, there will probably NOT be a problem - but if it has any type of a finish on it, you might find that a daily dunking in the chemicals would change the appearance of even a titanium ring. Best bet - take it off - take it ALL off!!
I would make the same recommendation for those folks with tungsten or tungsten carbide rings. We sell them and I wear them and I would take mine off before spending time in a hot tub. Heat and chemicals wreck havoc!
The Importance of Cleaning and Maintaining Your Jewelry July 31, 2015 17:49
The importance of jewelry maintenance.
Jewelry Maintenance - this is a serious subject. For most people, a diamond ring represents the biggest jewelry investment they have. Most diamond rings - engagement, wedding, or anniversary rings - are worn 24/7/365. Just like anything else - your jewelry needs to be maintained - especially a ring on your finger.
When your ring is new - the diamond(s) is secured by prongs and tips.
The tips on the prongs come up over the edge of the diamond and help to hold it secure in the mounting. Over the years you put your hand (ring) in and out of your pockets, in and out of gloves, and generally wear the heck out of it. That is a good thing - but you should have your rings inspected at LEAST once a year. A competent jeweler can look at the condition of your ring and know if your diamond is secure in the mounting.
Look at the picture of the new ring - then compare the tips on it with the other examples. (These are actual rings that have come in our shop.) Tips and prongs can be replaced - for much less than the cost of a diamond! Most ladies will get 8-12 years wear - but we know ladies who wear tips down in 3 years and sometimes even quicker.
We do not charge for inspection, nor do most jewelry stores. Let a pro take a look for you at least once or twice a year. It can save you big money to say nothing of the sentimental value.
This is a new ring. Notice the tips come up
over the edge of the diamond, holding it in place.
You can see how the tips have worn away,
this diamond is ready to fall out.
Another example. This diamond has a 6
prong head, but 3 of the 6 are GONE and
the other 3 are very thin. DANGER!!!
One last example - see how the end of this diamond is exposed and two of the other four prongs are essentially gone.

Ferodo introduces brake fluid for EHVs
Ferodo has expanded its braking portfolio by introducing what it claims is the first brake fluid formulated specifically to address the unique demands of hybrid and electric vehicles (EHV).
The Ferodo FBE050 DOT 5.1EHV brake fluid offers a variety of enhanced characteristics designed to help optimise overall brake system performance on these vehicles.
Brake system requirements for electric and hybrid vehicles are different than those for vehicles equipped with conventional powertrains. Because EHV models feature large, heavy batteries, extra stopping power is needed in certain operating situations. Additionally, intermittent engagement of the vehicles’ regenerative braking systems can prevent proper heating of brake pads and discs. To absorb this added stress, EHV models need an enhanced brake fluid with high dry and wet boiling points.
Also, because regenerative braking systems can help extend the service life of brake pads and related components, the brake fluid is likely to be replaced less frequently, possibly leading to corrosion issues. Another concern are the potential electrical currents near the braking system, which may occur if the brake fluid has moderate to high levels of electrical conductivity.
“Ferodo FBE050 brake fluid is the first fluid formulated specifically to address each of these concerns and contribute to improved brake system performance and reliability on hybrid and electric vehicles,” said Ronald De Wilde, brand manager Ferodo, DRiV Motorparts.
He added: “Vehicle service providers and their customers rely on Ferodo to gain the power of performance in every area of braking system technology, including the highly specialised demands of vehicles equipped with electric powertrains.”
Ferodo FBE050 DOT 5.1EHV brake fluid offers several features and benefits ideally suited to EHV applications:
• High dry boiling point (274° C)
• High wet boiling point (184° C)
• Enhanced corrosion resistance
• Reduced conductivity
• Low viscosity (meets ISO 4926 Class 6)
• Meets and exceeds DOT 3, 4, 5.1 and 4LV specifications
In addition to the new, FBE050 brake fluid, Ferodo offers quality replacement brake pads for 98 per cent of electric and hybrid passenger vehicles on European roads. The brand’s ECO-Friction brake pad is highly efficient for electric cars, hybrids and vehicles equipped with electronic parking brakes.
Ferodo is represented in Ireland by Qualvecom.

Definition of Problem
A cornerstone of E2E’s approach is leveraging personal savings for financing the purchase of a home. An effective way to do this in other parts of the world, and for other purposes, is through savings groups. These savings groups not only leverage personal savings, but also combined group savings, to provide individuals with the capital they need to make important, impactful purchases. However, there are many intricacies to the operation and structure of these groups. Who collects, manages, and bears liability for the funds are all key questions, along with determining the order by which members of the groups receive the aggregated funds. The success of E2E is dependent on making these savings groups function effectively and efficiently, and ultimately making them a trustworthy institution to the community.
Initial Steps and Options
Given the importance of the organizational structure of the savings groups, E2E has a few vital questions that could be explored:
1. How are participants for a savings group chosen, and what is the method by which they are grouped together?
2. Once in a savings group, who manages the group? How is that person(s) chosen? Does it have to be a member of the group, or can/should it be an outside party (e.g., an E2E employee)?
3. How does money actually flow through the group? Who collects it? How often is it collected? Who/where is the money stored before it is disbursed? Who disburses the money?
4. How is the money disbursed back to the individual group members? Does it have to be, or can it flow right to E2E? How is the order of recipients chosen within the group?
5. What are the repercussions or incentive structures used to ensure that participants contribute regularly and on time?
6. Are there examples in other countries of successful housing policies that support just these models for individual savings initiatives?
An interesting approach to this project might be to survey the answers to the questions throughout other organizations and locations, and then work to propose a small-scale pilot program that E2E can test. This pilot would include a small number of savings groups/participants, with the goal of savings towards an item that could be purchased within a few months (with a year being the maximum). The selection of this item would also be an important aspect of the pilot (as E2E would not want to pilot an entire home because of the duration it would take to finish).

"How Do You Know" does not mark the first time Reese Witherspoon and Paul Rudd hooked up on screen. That honor belongs to "Overnight Delivery," shot in the Twin Cities. So how come you've never heard of it? Here's my 1998 article on how things went awry:
" Overnight Delivery" should have been one of Minnesota's finest
moments on film.
The ingredients were there: a hot screenwriter, two rising
stars and a two-month shooting schedule that showcased so much of
the Twin Cities that it could have been produced by the tourism
So how come you've never heard of it?
" Delivery" went straight to the video stores this month -
nearly two years after filming here - without a theatrical release,
a stunning blow. The mainstream romantic comedy was originally
penned by Kevin Smith ("Clerks," "Chasing Amy") and featured Paul
Rudd ("The Object of My Affection," "Clueless") and Reese
Witherspoon ("Twilight," "Freeway"), two young actors whom
Entertainment Weekly pegged last week as members of the next Brat
Steve Elzer, vice president of publicity for New Line, which
produced the film, said the company would have no comment except
that "it was a business decision." Agents for the actors didn't
return phone calls.
Even director Jason Bloom didn't want to talk about his movie.
"I'm incredibly proud of it," he said. "I love the film and I hope
people see it, but I don't want to talk about it for print."
It's no surprise that the major players don't want to get too
close to this bomb. Deborah Moore, who served as the film's line
producer and is a former New Line executive, said that in the 70 or
80 films she oversaw while working for the company, she can't
remember one intended for theatrical release that ended up going
directly to video.
" Overnight Delivery" cost $10 million to produce, while the
normal budget for a straight-to-video movie is about $1 million or
$2 million, Moore said. To market the film successfully, the studio
would have had to spend another $10 million in advertising, she
said. Ultimately, the film would have needed to gross $60 million to
turn a profit.
No one could have guessed that " Delivery" was headed to the
dead-letter office when production began in April 1996. In fact, it
looked like a quiet coup for the state's film industry.
"The script wasn't that bad," said Randy Adamsick, executive
director of the Minnesota Film Board. "I take that back. It wasn't
bad at all. There were a lot of laughs in there. I would have never
thought it would meet this horrible fate."
The story line: A Twin Cities college student (Rudd) believes
that his long-distance girlfriend (Christine Taylor) is cheating on
him. In a drunken rage, he express-mails her a nasty breakup letter
with the help of a cheeky stripper ( Witherspoon). But he changes his
mind, and the two teenagers jump into a car and head to Memphis in
hopes of intercepting the package.
The entire movie was shot in the Twin Cities, taking advantage
of the changing spring temperatures to represent both chilly
Minnesota and the warmer states on Rudd's and Witherspoon's journey
south. The film includes such local landmarks as the Ground Zero
nightclub in Minneapolis (as a strip joint), the Minneapolis
Convention Center (as the airport), the Loring Cafe in Minneapolis
(as a student lounge) and the University of St. Thomas and Crown
Sterling/Embassy Suites in St. Paul (as a Tennessee college).
"We shot all over the place. . . . " said production manager
Kevin Reidy. "It was one of the most pleasant filming experiences
I've had."
Despite the numerous shoots, you might not have noticed these
busy visitors. That's because they got lost in Arnold
Schwarzenegger's shadow. "Jingle All the Way," the most expensive
movie ever filmed in Minnesota, was in town at the same time.
"The big joke was that people were hanging around the set,
looking for Arnold," Adamsick said. "They put signs on their
trailers that read: `NO ARNOLD.' "
While actors and crew members interviewed for this article said
the shooting went smoothly, there was one big problem from the start:
Screenwriter Smith was missing in action.
No one remembers seeing him on the set. Although he's listed as
the sole writer in the production schedule, the video credits Marc
Sedaka and Steve Bloom as writers.
Adamsick said Smith's irreverent sense of humor was missing
from the final product. "I thought it needed a lot more Kevin Smith,
and I'm not the biggest Kevin Smith fan," he said. "It fell
somewhere between not mainstream enough and not outrageous enough.
The premise seemed plausible on paper, but didn't in the video."
It's unclear how much of the film's dialogue and story came
from Smith, who also directed the Minnesota-filmed flop "Mallrats."
He is currently shooting the movie "Dogma," with Matt Damon and Ben
Affleck, and could not be reached for comment.
John Pierson, who helped Smith sell "Clerks" to Miramax and now
hosts the Independent Film Channel series "Split Screen," hasn't
talked to his associate about the movie, but knew that it wasn't a
high priority.
"I wouldn't even pick up ` Overnight Delivery,' " Pierson said.
"I was aware of how quickly it was written."
Production supervisor Julie Hartley, who lives in the Twin
Cities, said the script was nothing special. "I must admit I'm not a
fan of Kevin Smith's writing," she said. "I was not particularly
enamored of it."
Another problem was lack of experience. Jason Bloom - son of
Jake Bloom, one of California's highest-profile entertainment
lawyers - had directed only one feature, the Pauly Shore-polluted
"There were a lot of novices involved," said Hartley, a veteran
who worked on "Fargo" and "My Cousin Vinny," among other movies.
"The producers had really only done a few films and this was the
director's second film. The person with the most experience was the
editor, and once it gets to that stage, there's not a lot he can
Reidy, who co-produced last year's indie film "The Whole Wide
World" and was an associate producer on Kevin Spacey's 1994 movie
"Swimming with Sharks," said it's sometimes harder working for a
second-time director than a novice. "A first-time director is asking
for help, putting together a team, learning the lingo, but someone
who has done one tends to get a little cocky," he said, adding that
his comments were a general assessment, not necessarily pointed at
According to Reidy, " Overnight Delivery" tested well with
audiences and even had a L.A. premiere party. He expected the teen
romance to be released last spring or fall. When that didn't happen,
some speculated it would come out after "The Object of My
Affection," the romantic comedy co-starring Rudd and Jennifer
Aniston that was released a week and a half ago.
Instead, " Delivery" has quietly hit the stores - so quietly
that many who worked on the film hadn't heard. That's bad news for
them, but Minnesota is still something of a winner. Adamsick
estimates that New Line spent about $3 million locally and that 75
percent of the cast and crew were Minnesotans.
And while the tape may not win any awards, it serves as a
showcase for the state's many looks - something the Film Board can
use to lure other productions. "We've never played so many places
and had standard locations used in so many ways," said Adamsick.

GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS: Use and implementation options for towns
(from Maine Townsman, June 1999)
By Margaret Allen, (formerly) Information Specialist, Maine Municipal Association
Over the past few years, several Maine municipalities have implemented a Geographic Information System (GIS) to create layered maps and to manage their records and data. A GIS is a combination of computer hardware and software, groups of data, peripheral equipment and users of the system.
The implementation of a GIS usually starts in the assessor’s office (the traditional place for tax maps and data) and then expands into other departments and offices. According to a technology survey conducted by the Maine Municipal Association last January, GIS is currently being used in Maine for assessing, code enforcement, planning, engineering, public works, emergency management, waterfront management, sanitation, water, police, fire and rescue, E 9-1-1 addressing, natural resources management, forestry, economic and community development, administration and airports.
A GIS integrates spatial and tabular data.
Spatial data include any physical features that can be assigned geographical coordinates or "geo-referenced." The geo-referencing can be depicted in state plane coordinates, longitude/latitude points or altitude measurements and can be two or three-dimensional. Spatial data can be stored in different formats, such as points, lines, annotations, polygons and images. On a map, point data could be used for traffic light locations, line data could be used for streets, annotation data could be used for street names, polygon data could be used for buildings and image data could be used for scanned aerial photographs. Spatial data are given coordinates that geographically reference them to the mapping system.
Tabular data are a collection of characteristics or attributes that identify, describe and provide information about a certain geographical location or coordinate on the system. Examples of tabular data used by assessors are map and lot number, address, owner, deed book, deed page, land value, sale date, sale value, ward, census block, school district, acreage and zoning. These data are set up in rows and columns in a database and multiple databases are linked through a common field.
A common field is a field in one database that is identical to a field in another database. Although the two databases contain two different sets of information used to describe the same area, they can be integrated by linking the common field. In this way, a database of demographic data, a database of zoning data and a database of traffic data all can be integrated and layered on a map to better determine road maintenance schedules and priorities.
In a GIS, the different layers of data depicted on a map are called "coverages" and the methods by which different databases are integrated are called "linkages." Since it is estimated that 80% to 90% of local government programs and activities are directly dependent upon geographic information, a GIS is particularly well-suited to providing better information on which to base planning and decision making.
A well-implemented GIS can be used to get a holistic picture of a municipality; manage data and information more efficiently; graphically communicate plans or issues to citizens or developers; reduce redundant work and services performed at various levels of local government; reduce the cost of generating information for public notification and use; and shorten response times to emergencies.
In order to implement a GIS, a municipality must have a relatively powerful workstation, one or more copies of GIS software and a consultant or technically trained staff member who knows how to build coverages and linkages, write customized applications and train users. For the workstation, minimum hardware requirements include a Pentium processor, 64 megabytes of RAM and a 2-gigabyte hard drive.
Municipalities can opt for incremental or full implementation of a GIS.
Incremental implementation is a slower process in which one or two copies of GIS software are purchased and coverages are developed as staff and resources permit. Parcel conversion, the first step in GIS implementation for assessing, is usually done by a consultant through an RFP contract. Training is usually provided for a daily fee that depends on the application. Programming is usually done for an hourly fee. A staff member in the municipality can begin implementing a GIS by choosing one application for which both the need and payback potential are high, such as E 9-1-1 addressing or a revaluation. After an initial application is successful, other departments can gradually develop compatible databases from which to create more coverages for the GIS.
Full implementation of a GIS is more costly, requires more involvement and dedication and brings about quicker change in the way departments manage their records and data.
The following suggestions are made with full implementation in mind, but they will become relevant for incremental implementation as more departments begin getting involved.
Create a GIS Task Force. All department heads should be included. The task force will detect problems, suggest solutions and establish guidelines, procedures and standards. By including all departments, a global view is set from the start and the problem of different departments setting up incompatible databases or systems is avoided.
The most successful task forces are those that have top management support and combine technical with management expertise. It is important to look for potential agreements or partnerships at the start. For example, Bath was able to get aerial photos of the city through a deal with CMP, and Brewer is cooperating with Bangor Gas and Photo Science, Inc. to update its GIS maps with aerial photography and planimetric mapping (mapping that represents only the horizontal position of features). It is also important to research what other municipalities are using for applications and how they are benefiting from them.
Create a Strategic, Cohesive Plan. The plan should incorporate all departments and include the following:
• An outline of current work resources, processes and costs;
• An outline of work resources, processes and costs re-engineered through the use of a GIS;
• An inventory of current technological equipment and data resources;
• Identified links or enhancements to existing systems;
• Hardware and software platform alternatives that provide expandability and long-term use;
• General and application-specific goals, uses, needs and requirements;
• A cost-justification process that quantifies expectations and measures costs and benefits over time. Costs may include personnel; equipment; training; and back-file cleanup and conversion. Benefits may include time saved by expediting work processes; reduction of redundant operations; savings in costs associated with paper storage, retrieval and distribution; and the enhanced products of a GIS;
• A realistic assessment of funding and potential agreements or partnerships needed to sustain the plan over time (3 to 5 years into the future, if possible);
• A designation of who will coordinate the GIS effort, procure equipment and technical support, integrate hardware and software and perform system testing;
• A realistic schedule for procurement, negotiations and implementations. The schedule should also include the total duration of the project, long-term strategic goals and approximate annual costs;
• An RFP process and evaluation package;
• A pilot project that tests the new system before implementation;
• Enough flexibility so that the plan can accommodate changes in organizational needs and/or technology;
• Methods for handling resistance to change, such as ongoing communication, workshops, support and training; and
• Clearly assigned procedures, standards, tasks and responsibilities.
Incremental Implementation in Bath
According to City Tax Assessor Paul Mateosian, the introduction of a GIS has been incremental in Bath. "Your maps are only going to be as good as your data. You have to think about building up accurate and current data sets incrementally, using existing resources and personnel. Each data set has to be developed and maintained by someone. It’s a slow process," says Mateosian.
Instead of determining a price and going out to bid, Bath started by purchasing two copies of ArcView (a GIS software package from ESRI, Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.) and hiring a contractor to create custom scripts, add coverages and provide training on an as-needed basis. One of the scripts allows Mateosian to recreate tax maps from the AutoCAD files Bath began creating in 1994 when it first went from a paper to digital format.
GIS was first used in Bath to generate tax and zoning maps. The second use was economic development.
"The city manager has been very supportive from the start and likes the GIS because it allows him and the city planner to ‘show and tell’ more easily to potential developers," says Mateosian.
For example, they can now use a GIS to show developers a pin map of commercial property that includes sale prices and assessed values.
"You get a much clearer picture using a GIS than just looking at a bunch of tables and charts," says Mateosian.
The next logical steps of implementation in Bath are to incorporate public works data, such as sewer lines, pipes, road signs and street maintenance; and then to involve the police and fire departments in incorporating their data. Each of these databases would have to originate from its respective department and be in a compatible format.
Mateosian has been working with a GIS in Bath for almost two years. The city spends between $3,000 and $5,000 per year on the GIS. Mateosian is planning to develop a digital orthophoto layer in the near future.
Orthophotography is the making of a photographic reproduction in which the displacement of images due to camera tilt and terrain relief has been removed so that the photograph has a uniform scale and the same metric properties as a map. Bath has aerial photographs of the city that will be digitized, scanned and incorporated into the GIS to produce maps of aerial views, or photogrammetric maps.
Brewer is aiming for full implementation of a GIS this year, the first year of its implementation plan. About two years ago, the city hired a contractor for $18,000 to do introductory demonstrations and training, to conduct departmental needs assessments and to come up with a three-year implementation plan. The city council approved $84,000 for the first year of implementation and will be voting on $100,000 for the second year.
Brewer formed a GIS team made up of the technology coordinator, assessor, public works director, two engineers and the assistant to the city manager.
The city bought 11 copies of ArcView and acquired more equipment and training through a Local Government Start-up Grant from ESRI. Within the second year of the plan, the city will spend $30,000 on updating its tax and zoning maps and $35,000 on a GIS Web server so that maps and data files can be put up on the Web for economic development purposes.
"Just from some informal surveying I did, it seems that GIS in local government is getting started in the assessor’s office," says Technology Coordinator Mary Stuart.
In Brewer, each department will be building data sets with database software (Microsoft Access) and the databases will be linked with the Assessor’s database, using map and lot number as the common field.
The assessor, code enforcement officer and city planner are using the GIS for zoning and wetlands maps, abutter notification, deeds, site assessment, sales/ratio and a public kiosk. The fire department would like fire hydrant data to be part of the system and has started gathering data on commercial properties. The fire department is also interested in putting computers with GIS in their trucks so that, in emergencies, they will quickly be able to retrieve details about the structure or area to which they are going.
The engineering and public works departments will be updating and maintaining their data using a Global Positioning System (GPS) and the technology department will be responsible for managing and coordinating the GIS effort.
Stuart envisions that every department will be using the GIS, whether for information or application purposes.
Brewer has taken advantage of its close working relationship with its school system by sharing the GIS with the school’s technology coordinator and students; adopting the school’s technology benchmarks for city employees; installing a fiber optic network that connects city offices, public buildings and schools; sharing file servers and equipment; and training city employees in the school’s computer lab.
The Maine Office of Geographic Information Services (OGIS) is working with the Maine Department of Public Safety to support a statewide implementation of Enhanced 9-1-1 service using a GIS. The OGIS offers free technical support to municipalities undergoing E 9-1-1 addressing and has so far worked with all but 30 of Maine’s 494 municipalities.
OGIS begins by using a municipality’s tax maps and data to produce a base map that includes road names, rivers, lakes, ponds and borders. The municipality can review the map and request changes, such as public or private roads that should be added or deleted.
The office then schedules a Global Positioning System (GPS) collection in which a contractor visits the municipality and inventories all the structures, streets, intersections and address ranges. To assist the contractor in navigating the area, the municipality must provide a "guide" who knows the community.
After the GPS collection, OGIS technicians create an updated map and digital file of GPS data for that municipality. The new map will include structure locations and mathematically calculated address numbers. The data will include road names, directionality, address ranges, lengths and other attributes. The municipality then has a "working map" it can download, review and correct.
The free service is for cleaning up street naming problems and bad addressing and for clarifying emergency response areas. The office encourages municipalities to work with police and fire chiefs, paramedics, neighboring municipalities and the local postmaster throughout the process to ensure that all needs and special requirements are met.
Most of the OGIS technicians’ work is done in ARC/INFO (also a product of ESRI) and the data are kept in Shapefile format so that they can be easily imported into ArcView, which is the GIS software package that most municipalities are currently using. Municipalities without a GIS can download the shareware, ArcExplorer, which is a free piece of software used to view Shapefiles and available on the OGIS Web site.
Many municipalities are getting GIS assistance from their local council of governments. GIS staff at the Androscoggin Valley Council of Governments (AVCOG), headed by Fergus Lea, has provided mapping support to six towns for comprehensive planning over the past two to three years. The GIS staff collects data from the municipality as well as from state and federal sources, like FEMA (for floodplain data) and USGS. Other projects include digitizing tax maps using AutoCAD and building layouts from them in ArcView. Its first pilot project, started three years ago, was building sewer, water and zoning coverages for the eight-town region of the Oxford Hills Growth Council. The AVCOG has a 50-50 program whereby members can get project support at 50% of the cost.
The Greater Portland Council of Governments (GPCOG) has provided assistance to most of its members in Cumberland County, including Freeport, Portland, Westbrook, Cape Elizabeth, Scarborough, Gorham and Windham. Lately, the COG has been helping Long Island and Frye Island in setting up a GIS by supporting them through the RFP and selection process and proofing the data once they are on a PC. As part of their dues, member municipalities receive free on-site technical and data management support and special projects are done on a fee-for-service basis at a member rate. GPCOG is concentrating a lot of its efforts on standardizing formats, protocols and documentation for data release to the public and helping municipalities project nonstandard data into standard state plane coordinates. The COG has a three-member GIS staff, headed by Kris Sommer.
Both the Maine OGIS and the Maine GIS User Group provide links to vendors and consultants on their Web sites. The Maine GIS User Group, managed by Dan Walters of the Maine OGIS, is a good place to start learning about GIS. The user group has a long list of members made up of water and wastewater districts, COGs, towns, cities, state departments and agencies, commissions, libraries, development corporations, schools, vendors, contractors and individuals.

People of Ha’apai complain over prices of goods and unlicensed businesses
Radio & TV Tonga, Nuku’alofa, 20/06/2017
Many people in Ha’apai have voiced their concerns over some people running businesses without licenses.
Concerns were also on retail shops illegally over raising the price tags for many goods and commodities.
Taniela Sila of Revenue and Customs said, they are trying to address the matter now and ensure that all commodities are controlled by the Competent Authority.
He said, they’ve instructed and trained the public on items that are free of tax such as the fruits imported from abroad.
People also raised their concerns on foreign yachts visiting the island if they are contributing to the economy or not because they are not renting the guest houses.
Taniela said they are gathering all the information and seek ways to address the matter appropriately.

A Day At the Waterfront 5.16
I've been introduced to a new photo spot. It overlooks the river and is frequented by people boating, kayaking, and fishing. It hosts a wide collective of newts, salamanders and creepy crawly things. Geese flock there. And there are open fields of grass, real trees and quaint benches and gazebos throughout. It's a natural oasis.
Why did we happen to get to this location? A would-be party that was missing the birthday boy.
Here are a few shots from our day:Chi @ monumentYa at watersideChi at parkSmiles at park

Ash Knights
The Ash Knights are a storied and fearsome order of warrior monks whom have dedicated their lives in service to the security and sanctity of the Cape of Ross and it's borders from the nefarious Vampire lords of the Nocturna Coast to the north-east. They were founded at the Burning of the Wolfswood, many centuries ago and still cling to their ancient traditions of Vampire slaying. Few can match their prowess in this art.
The order is an oath taken for life. Their ranks swell with both men and women of the Cape, who will serve relentlessly to safeguard the border and any and all weak points in the Cape. The order's ranks number in the thousands of well trained and well prepared warriors. The branches of the order occupy a number of castles around the Cape, beginning first with the fortress at Ash Watch, nearest to the border of the Nocturna Coast.
An Ash knight can be identified by their ash-dust dyed trappings, a grey tabard, emblazoned with a fanged skull engulfed in fire. They are most often clad in chain mail that sweeps as low as their cloaks, bound around their waists by a sturdy leather belt containing a number of components and materials meant to give them the edge against a vampire or their brood.
The most iconic item an Ash knight carries is their greatsword. The blade stands two thirds their height, the hilt to pommel making up for the remaining height. The wide cross-guard is set about two hands lower from the fuller of the blade itself. In this way, the knight gains a level of versatility absent to most greatswords. They may shift their grip higher than the cross-guard for leverage, or even flip the entire sword upside down to use the hefty counterweight as a bludgeoning weapon. It is very uncommon otherwise to find a Dust knight wielding any other sort of weapon. Few members have changed their loadout without express reason. Since the greatsword is apart of the symbolic ideology of their order, it has remained as the predominant weapon of choice for all knights within the order.
The Ash knights believe it to be an almost sacrilegious act to ride upon a mount or in a vehicle aside from a seaborne vessel. This ideology comes from their earliest days as the first Ash knights were noted to have run the whole way in their burning of the wood.
The Ash knights observe the order as a family structure. At the head of the entire organization is a Grand Master, but as the organization disperses deeper and deeper into the swelling ranks, each sect of the order observes a Matron and Patron. All other members as referred to as Brother or Sister. A notable figure is the Headsman, one of the few Ash knights known to carry not one, but two of the iconic greatswords, One, they utilize in standard combat encounters, the other often carried by a squire for ceremonial beheading as the executioner's blade is a deal larger than the standard issue greatsword.
The Ash knights are trained to fight off the forces and agents of the night. They are taught and instructed to be ruthless and act with guile and without mercy. Witnessing an Ash knight facing down a vampire is akin to watching the most seasoned and legendary hunters. Generally, the knight will take time to set a trap that will either immobilize their target, or slow them down to be unable to effectively defend themselves from their onslaught. These traps will often involve razor-wire, holy water, and sharpened stakes. Ash knights will rarely engage in pitched battles on behalf of the rule of the Cape of Ross, however, when called into service, the knights do not take to the field with a newly adorned mercy for their enemies. Apart of the doctrine of the Ash knight philosophy is convincing their recruits that those who stand against or oppose their people and order mean to once again enslave their people. With this in mind, the order fights all the fiercer.
Centuries ago, when the Moon Elves rose up from their vampire overlords and fled to the southern reaches of the Cape of Ross, they decided to deal a decisive blow that would render their enemies unable to pursue in great number or strength. A few bold and brave warriors stood before the Wolfswood with torches in hand at dusk. As they watched their enemy near them, fangs bared, eyes a light with bloodlust, they set the wood to the torch and burned their enemies alive all the way to the Full Mood Gulf. There, amidst the rising ash and dust from the now destroyed forest, those legendary few stood as a mortal wall, taunting the vampires of the coast to come and try to enslave them once more. Shortly thereafter, the order of Ash was founded, named for the ashes they caked the land in order to repel their ancient enemies of the night. It was this act, which to led the Moon Elves of the Cape to rename themselves Ashen Elves.

The Dust Knights sound really cool. I really liked the section about their greatswords and how they sometimes use them as bludgeoning weapons. :)

Tech to detect plant diseases using phones
Researchers have developed technology to help farmers quickly spot diseases in plants using smartphones.
Tom Horton / Environment
New technology could help farmers identify diseases in plants using smartphones.
New technology that could help farmers quickly spot diseases in plants using smartphones has been developed by researchers.
The handheld device for identifying problems with crops, which was designed at North Carolina State University, can be plugged into a mobile phone and used to analyse compounds that plants release through their leaves.
Diagnosing diseases in plants currently takes "days or weeks" as samples have to be sent to a lab for a molecular analysis to take place, according to the university in the US.
"Our technology will help farmers identify diseases more quickly, so they can limit the spread of the disease and related crop damage," Jean Ristaino, a professor of plant pathology at North Carolina State University, said.
To use the technology, a farmer would have to place a leaf from a plant they suspect of being diseased into a capped test tube for 15 minutes to catch compounds released while it breathes.
The gas from the test tube can then be pumped into a reader device, which contains a paper strip embedded with chemicals that can change colour to identify specific diseases.
Once plugged into a smartphone, the user can see the readings with a camera app.
Researchers managed to use the device to detect the pathogen which caused the Irish famine two days after they infected tomatoes with the disease, according to the university.
There is "nothing like" the reader device currently available for sale, according to Qingshan Wei, assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at North Carolina State University.
The device could be improved by developing tests for specific regions to help identify diseases that are common in particular locations, he added.

Rachel from PA Asked
Does Epcot celebrate the lantern festival in China?
Hi Rachel,
Wow, that's a great question!
It just so happens that I was in Epcot a few years ago during the first day of the Chinese New Year. I seem to recall some special events (e.g. storytelling, performances, etc.), however, it was pretty low key in terms of how they spread the word about these festivities. (I just stumbled upon them accidentally.)
Since the Lantern Festival is at the end of the Chinese New Year, instead of at the beginning when I was there, I can't speak from personal experience as to how they've chosen to celebrate that particular day in the past.
However, I can say from personal experience that each country's pavilion does vary it's annual celebrations of key holidays (e.g. Bastille Day in France, Cinco de Mayo in Mexico, etc.). So, my best advice would be to chat with either the cast members or the international hosts/hostesses in the China pavilion before or during the upcoming Chinese New Year to see if they have the inside scoop.
Here's a little tip from your buddy Derek:
If you're looking for a really cool and unique souvenir to bring home to a friend or family member, wind your way to the back of the China pavilion and browse through the House of Good Fortune shop. My favorite souvenirs to stock up on are the sets of baoding balls (the ornate balls that you rotate repeatedly in the palm of your hand).
I keep a stash of them in my closet in case I forget a birthday, anniversary, or some other special occasion and I need a gift fast. (I used to keep a stash of waffle irons, but now all of my friends have one thanks to me.)
Best regards,

Tweets Against The "Tipping Point"
Just on a radio show w/ some smart liberal (not left) activists. They kept talking about the "tipping point" toward Dem victories.
Thing is, "tipping points" aren't actuall *things.* It's a marketing slogan for Malcolm Gladwell. History doesn't work like that.
The "tipping point" is age-of-globalization speak for the Cold War concept of a paradigm shift. That turned out to be faulty, too.
The mythical "tipping point" is a rhetorical escalation from the Cold War "paradigm shift": It's a subtly apocalyptic narrative
To screeching of GOP--world as we (read: white people) know it is ending--dem "tipping point" narrative says, "Yr world is ending!"
For Dems to claim "tipping point" based on demographic changes is to conflate ideology & issues. RW issues will change; ideology, no.
So conservatives & liberals both claim a coming "tipping point." Meanwhile, the center slouches rightward, whoever's in office.
By "center" you mean the DC ruling elite, right? Not some collection of policy views widely held by the electorate, right?
. Yes. I should have put "center" in scare quotes. Another mythical beast.
The the problem w/ "tipping point" narratives, left or right: They all perpetuate a reactionary idea of history.
Establishments *like* "tipping point" narratives. They're sort of like singing "The Sun'll Come Out Tomorrow!" Well, yes, and...?
Establishments also like "tipping point" narratives because they *seem* populist even as they depend on a theater of the elites.
I don't blame people for believing in "tipping points." The idea seems to make so much sense! Sort of like the "good ol' days."
All kinds of activists want to believe in "tipping points"; idea is like megaphone booming at people living in ordinary flow of time.
Idea of a "tipping point" erases radical dissent. Replaces the work of an ideological break w/ illusory tide of demographic change.
The "tipping point" narrative isn't just neoliberal: It's a kind of social darwinism, an idea of politics as ultimately "natural."
Off twitter: That seems like a heavy charge, but the problem with viruses such as Gladwell's "tipping point" narrative is that you can carry them without knowing it. Liberal "tipping point" apostles aren't deliberately preaching social Darwinism, and they're legitimately excited about demographic shifts in the U.S. population that will, we hope, bring an end to the still ingrained culture of subtly supremacist whiteness. But that doesn't mean reactionary politics will disappear. Backwards-looking conservatism and capitalist neoliberalism will take new forms -- and appeal to new demographics.
Not because they're a natural part of some generalized "political mind," but because they're there, and ideas don't change themselves. They need changing. That's long, slow work, the kind of work Christian conservatives began undertaking in the 1930s to achieve their victories of today.
Some liberals will say, "What? The Christian Right is dead!" Tell that to women in the rapidly increasing number of states that are legislating Roe v. Wade out of existence. The anti-abortion movement is finally winning, not through a big sweeping law but by telling its stories, over and over, for decades. There was no "tipping point"; rather, a political, cultural, moral narrative piled up on top of the truth bit by bit until it grew as big as a mountain.

Harry was captured shirtless, wearing navy blue swim shorts, a black baseball cap and sunglasses. He showed his perfect body while soaking up the sun. While Harry was enjoying on the beach, his girlfriend Meghan was nowhere close to him.
Meghan was in Jamaica for three days with boyfriend Harry to attend his close friend Tom 'Skippy' Inskip's wedding. Harry even showed off his dance moves and knocked over a tray of drink while Moonwalking to Michael Jackson, The Sun reported.

"He was going backwards when he banged into a waitress carrying a tray of drinks and sent them flying. Harry gasped, looked shocked and put his hands on the waitress's shoulders and apologised. Meghan and Harry were kissing each other constantly and danced with each other. Everyone was very drunk," an insider told The Sun.
Meghan and Harry are going strong despite all the breakup rumours. Gossip mills are abuzz that Harry and Meghan want to take a relationship to the next level and tie the knot soon. Speculations were also rife that Harry will propose the Suits actress near their first anniversary.
"I think Harry may propose near the anniversary of their first date. So they'll be engaged by the end of the summer. They have spoken candidly about their future and see a life together. They both want kids and have chatted about how they'd be as parents. It's the real deal for both of them," one insider said.

Tragedy and the True Meaning of Christmas
It was going to be our best Christmas ever. Little did we know that a tragedy would make it one we would never forget.
Dad was a high school geography teacher, and money was scarce. We three children heard the words “We can’t afford it” much too often. So we could hardly believe it—and certainly had little appreciation for the sacrifices involved—when Dad and Mom announced that we were going to take a vacation at Christmastime.
Even more unexpected was the news that we would be buying our first-ever new car for the trip—a yellow 1963 station wagon with mock wooden trim and a luggage rack on top. The only items missing were the optional seat belts that Dad had wanted installed before the trip. But since they hadn’t arrived at the car dealership in time for our departure, we left without them.
Time and scenery passed quickly as we listened to Christmas carols on the car radio and tried to stifle our giggles and whispers as we speculated about the gaily wrapped packages peeking out at us from their hiding places in the back of the car. I was hoping for what every ten-year-old girl was hoping that year—a Barbie doll, complete with wardrobe and blue vinyl carrying case. Eventually the rhythm of the road and the stillness of the dark lulled us children into happy dreams.
I awoke instantly, with confusion all about me. I felt as if I were one of a hundred puzzle pieces, tossing and whirling, unable to come together as a whole. I remember screams and cries, the sound of the radio, darkness, and things flying past me and hitting me. When I reached out to try to avoid the jarring bumps, I briefly felt the smooth inside of the roof of the car.
Then, as suddenly as it had begun, everything stopped moving, and for just an instant, there was silence. The road had been covered with patches of black ice, invisible and treacherous. We had hit some ice, lost control of the car, and now we were at the bottom of a steep incline a few miles outside of Lovelock, Nevada. In the darkness of the early morning, I could see that my father was conscious but was bleeding from several cuts in his scalp. Mother had been thrown free of the car and was unable to move. Paul, the baby, was screaming with fright. I was unhurt. Sam, my seven-year-old brother, was missing.
Dad wiped the blood from his eyes and prayed quickly for help. He and I began searching for Sam, while Mom called out continually, “Have you found him?” We did, finally, lying in a pile of shattered glass and rock. He had been thrown an incredible distance, taking with him the curved back window of the station wagon. He looked so small and cold, lying very still in his blood-soaked pajamas. The sight made Dad cry out in despair, “He’s dead! We’ve lost him!”
As I looked about, I saw our belongings. One whole side of our beautiful new car was now smashed as flat as an aluminum can. Our luggage had been thrown open, and the contents were scattered all over the hillside. Christmas presents were everywhere, with wrapping paper torn or missing—and I could see the corner of a blue vinyl carrying case where the paper had been ripped away.
In those few moments I grew up quickly. I realized, with a growing sense of urgency, that none of those things mattered now. More than anything, I wanted my family around me, healthy and happy. I was already feeling the sense of loss and incompleteness Sam’s passing would leave in my life.
It was not likely that we would be spotted from the highway by a passing car, so someone needed to climb the steep embankment to flag down help. Dad stayed at Sam’s side while I climbed up. Ice and snow hurt my bare feet—I was wearing only pajamas—but I was warm inside as I considered the trust that Dad had placed in me. I prayed out loud as I waited several minutes with no sign of other traffic.
When help arrived, it was indeed an answer to prayer. The first car stopped. Inside were a doctor and his wife, a nurse, and they had blankets and medical supplies in the trunk of their car! Seconds later, a truck driver stopped and called ahead for an ambulance.
The doctor examined Sam and found faint, hopeful signs of life. His wife wrapped Paul and me in blankets and treated the worst of Mom’s abrasions. Then, while we were waiting for the ambulance, they helped us sort out our belongings and packed them into their car for the trip into town. The ambulance arrived, and we were loaded inside, but the drive was no faster than a crawl because of the icy road.
The sun was just coming up as we came into Lovelock. Since a bus had overturned earlier, resulting in several deaths and critical injuries, the hospital was already filled to capacity. Paul was taken to an empty crib in the nursery, and Dad’s cuts were quickly cleaned and stitched. Mom and Sam were examined on gurneys in the hallway: Mom had suffered severe ligament damage, and Sam had a badly fractured skull. His open head wound was filled with dirt and broken glass, and the doctors were concerned about possible infection, blood loss, and brain damage. Later, when Sam was conscious, Dad and I were allowed to see him briefly. The doctor asked him if he recognized us. Sam said nothing, but his eyes revealed his fear and confusion.
Dad and I collected our luggage, left the hospital, and checked into a nearby motel, where we washed our dirty, bloodstained clothing in the bathtub. I was still barefoot and in my pajamas, so we sorted through the remnants of our belongings for warmer attire. I found a sweater and a pair of jeans to wear but could find only one shoe. For the next three days, I walked to the hospital and back in my stocking feet—until my other shoe was discovered in the wreckage of the car.
That night at the hospital we were relieved to see that a room had been made available for Mom and Sam. But we were surprised to discover that they had company. Somehow, members of the Lovelock Branch had discovered our plight and had sent us the Christmas spirit. Two brethren had brought a small decorated Christmas tree and gifts for each of us. I received a pink powder mitt made of flannel with a blue satin bow. When I opened it, I cried for the first time since the accident and allowed myself, for a little while, to be a tired, frightened little girl.
Then the men assisted Dad in administering to Mom and Sam. Through their kindness, the priesthood blessing, and the whisper of love from the Lord, we finally found peace and reassurance. In less than twenty-four hours, our emotions had come full circle, and we were once again filled with Christmas hope.
Looking back, I realize that my father was younger then than I am now. Throughout the experience, he set an example for me of calm strength and faith in the will of the Lord. And although it must have been difficult to face each day with only the companionship of a ten-year-old child, he made me feel useful and important.
Mom and Sam were recovering slowly, but it would be some time before they would be able to travel. Since Dad had to get back home for work after a few days, he made the difficult decision to leave them in the hospital, borrow money to fly home with Paul and me, and then return for Mom and Sam when they were able to travel again.
At home, neighbors and ward members readily stepped in to help. Paul and I were taken into the homes of ward members, and someone loaned Dad a car so he could get to and from work.
Finally, Mom and Sam were strong enough to come home, but they couldn’t travel by air. Some friends offered their station wagon and fitted a mattress into it. Another friend took time off work to be the driver.
What a joyous reunion we had! Mom was soon on her feet again, and Sam recovered quickly, showing no signs of the trauma he had so recently survived. During a routine checkup several months after the accident, the doctor couldn’t believe that Sam had ever suffered a severe skull injury; there was only a small external scar, and the X rays revealed no internal scarring or damage. When he saw the original X rays, he said, “Well, I’ve seen a miracle!”
My blue vinyl Barbie case was one of the few gifts that survived that Christmas. But today, as I watch my four little girls playing with it, I wish I could pass on to them the other, more important gifts I received that year: a greater appreciation for life and family relationships, faith in my parents, faith in the compassion of friends and strangers, and, most important, faith in God and in the power of his priesthood.
If I could, I would shield my little ones from the hurts of life that will inevitably come to them. Certainly all of their trials may not have the happy outcome my tenth Christmas ultimately did. But I will watch over them and encourage them as they experience both the joys and the sorrows of this life. And I will pray that from their experiences, they too will recognize and accept the best gifts.

Eternal Present
Most people would agree that 2016 has been a horrible year. The number of famous people who’ve died seems far out of proportion to any other year, and the political climate, culminating in the election of Donald Trump as president in the US, has been extremely bitter and hostile, leading many to fear what comes next. The world situation seems just one misunderstanding away from igniting into a major conflict on many fronts. On a personal level, 2016 has been very trying for me as well. I’ve lost family members, had very little success with my writing, my health has been questionable, and my “day job”, which pays all my bills, has been on shaky ground since July. Many people, myself included, will be happy to bid farewell to this lousy year.
As U2 reminds us in their song, New Year’s Day, however, not much actually changes when we make the arbitrary switch from one year to the next. Companies which operate on a calendar year may have more resources at the start of a new year, and therefore are in a better position to hire or expand, which can definitely affect individuals, but if it’s cold and rainy on December 31, it will most likely be so on January 1, and if one has a lingering illness or pending financial commitment, it’s unlikely to go away just because the calendar changes. However psychologically comforting ending a year might seem, the reality is that time itself, and, by extension the calendars it yields, is an artificial measurement created by people. Time is a tool, developed to help distinguish one collection of days from another. It’s ironic that so many people stress over deadlines and schedules, when the very time underlying it all has little to no meaning outside of its given context.
At one point in history, calendars were often measured in accordance with important events. Roman time was usually marked in accordance with the reign of a given emperor, such as fourth year of the reign of Augustus. This tradition continued among the monarchs of Europe after the Roman empire fell. The Western calendar once marked time from the estimated birth of Jesus, though most scholars now place his birth before the start of the current calendar. At some point, as the Western calendar became more prominent throughout the world, the religious trappings were removed to give us “before common era” and “after common era”. Jews maintain their own calendar, in addition to using the Western one, as do Muslims, and other nations, such as China, measure the years differently than those in the West.
It is said that, in writing, the best way to increase tension is to start a countdown, and consistently worrying about the passage of time certainly increases a person’s tension and stress level. For most, time serves as just this sort of stress inducing catalyst, with as many people hating the pressure imposed as there are folks who feel motivated by deadlines or the sense that “time is slipping away”. As with most human-made constructs, there is a great deal of absurdity inherent in creating a method of marking time, only to realize we don’t have enough time to accomplish what we need to do.
Many Eastern philosophies speak of existing “in the moment” and this is, perhaps good advice for us all. In reality, we all exist in the Eternal Present. While we can remember times past, and have the ability to envision a future, what we experience is the here and now. True, there are times when we may feel the passage of minutes and hours, usually while trying to meet some deadline, but it’s also very easy to lose track of time if one is engaged in some endeavor, like reading, writing, or having a stimulating conversation. Just as we often feel enslaved by the clock, we have the ability to turn off our sense of time, as many do by “unplugging” when camping or otherwise on vacation. Oftentimes, when people plan vacations around events, or scheduled activities, they come back feeling just as stressed out as when they went away.
Despite the precise measurement of days, hours, minutes, and seconds provided by the clock and calendar, most people mark time by the events they experience. Most people alive at the time of the Kennedy assassination can relate exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. I can still remember where I was when I heard of the Challenger explosion. Personally, we recall births, deaths, marriages, divorces. In such instances, it’s not the calendar which governs the moment; instead, it serves its purpose of being a marker documenting an event. My mother used to remark on how unbelievable it was that so much time had passed from some event she recalled from when she was younger. I’m sometimes amazed when I look back on events like the Olympics, and realize how far I’ve come.
For better or worse, time is a constant in our lives. It serves the purpose it’s intended to serve, but, for many, it can also become an impediment, forcing us to rush toward some imaginary goal, sapping our energy for other, more desirable activities. We should never become so caught up in the so-called “rush of time” that we allow it to dictate our lives. Always be sure to steal a few moments away for oneself.
I wish everyone a healthy and happy 2017.

Vitamins That Will Protect You Against Coronavirus are: C,D,A, Omega-3, Zink, Iron and Selenium
By E-bai3 Team, July 6th, 2020
Wearing masks, keeping your distance, washing your hands and proper exercises, are important measures currently being applied around the globe. There is not much more we can do, except wait for a vaccine or drug to be developed. Until then we also need to strengthen our immune system through vitamins and supplements.
Beside vitamins like D,C, A, Omega 3 other micronutrients such as zinc, iron and selenium are important as well.Nutrients deficiency can open the door to the viruses because the body is unable to defend itself against the invaders.(
The spread of coronavirus in several Asian countries has mad many people feeling anxious and worried.The coronavirus first appeared in downtown Wuhan, China and can be transmitted from animals to humans and between humans. It can also be transmitted through contact with an infected person.
In general, infections due to coronavirus are almost indistinguishable from other respiratory infections. In mild cases, they cause colds, coughs, sore throats, fatigue, and fever.
A nutrition expert from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Indonesia, Prof. Saptawati Bardosono, said that children's endurance and immunity are much more vulnerable to viruses, including coronavirus. Therefore, their endurance must be increased. In addition to macro nutrition, it is also necessary to equip children with micronutrients including vitamins and minerals.
According to Saptawati, vitamin has an important function as a protector for the immunity system. "There are three important vitamins for children, especially to prevent coronavirus. They are vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin D," said Saptawati, who was met after the Master Class Program for Stimulation and Nutrition on Monday, January 27, 2020.
Here are the 7 vitamins needed for you and your children:
1. Vitamin A
Vitamin A's function is for the child's immunity and growth. "Foods that contain vitamin A are fish, cheese, shrimp, milk, eggs, carrots, sweet potatoes, broccoli, kale, and other fresh vegetables," said Saptawati.
2. Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and can help remove toxins in our body, as well as boosting our immune system. "Foods that contain vitamin C including strawberries, pineapple, broccoli, mango, kiwi, papaya, guava," said Saptawati.
3. Vitamin D
Based on the research in the Journal of Pharmacology & Pharmacotherapeutic, almost 50 percent of people from all over the world are deficient in vitamin D. Even though one of the benefits of vitamin D is to increase the immune system. "Besides getting vitamin D from the sun, you can also get it from eggs, fish, beef liver, common mushrooms, and cereals," she added.
Saptawati further explained that alongside with the nutritional needs, children must be protected from environmental exposure. The most important thing is to wash hands with soap regularly after they do any kind of activities because viruses can stick to things.
4. Omega 3
5. Zink
6. Iron
Red blood cells transport oxygen from your lungs to the organs and tissues throughout your body. Iron has a role in creating energy from nutrients. It also contributes to the transmission of nerve impulses — the signals that coordinate the actions of different parts of your body.
7. Selenium

Uncanny 2018 Wormhole Shit
The Mets are 12-2 now, as the great Bright/Kauffman/Crane swung low in the zone, and propelled a ninth inning walk-off, arms extended. High Flying! How you doin?
But I want to talk about the image above, because it fascinates and repels me in an Alex DeLarge-type way; in a creepy, dead-eye stare at the Korova Milk Bar-type way. Uncanny valley to the extreme. Unsettling and unnerving; the image wouldn’t stop creeping around a corner in my mind, won’t stop hovering above me silently as I try to sleep. Like I’m standing in my kitchen and the lights have just flashed and William Friedkin has spliced in a face over the stove hood.
Seriously, what the fuck is going on in this picture?
Couple of things. First, the faces directly behind Wilmer seem to be lit differently, more naturally; as if they are actually standing in an outdoor stadium at four o’clock on an overcast early spring day. Whereas Wilmer’s face is….not? Not lit the same way at all. Wilmer’s face appears to be lit from the side, unnaturally lit.
Second, notice Wilmer’s eyes. Notice his eyes in relation to his body. He’s high-fiving someone to his right, touching hands with this person, only he’s not looking at this person at all. He’s looking straight ahead, dead-eye-staring in the distance.
Not to mention there’s a strange arm that appears to belong to no one reaching across his body. And his neck seems to be farther above his shoulders than realistically possible.
The whole thing has a great high-contrast, deep-shadow vibe that initially attracted me; reminded me of older baseball photos shot on film. But this photo is strange, man. Some other-worldly stuff is happening here. Perhaps it’s 2015 vibes forcing themselves into the conversation, like they travelled through a wormhole and tried to make us think they were 2018 vibes but they got some shit wrong. Some shit that just doesn’t feel right. Uncanny valley shit.
2015 vibes
2015 vibes all over the place right now.
It got better from there.

An Ode to the MLB Condensed Games
Just a word or two on the Condensed Games that Major League Baseball uploads to Youtube every day. Turns out they’ve been around since 2011 or so, but I’ve only known about them since 2015. Anyway, they have become one of my favorite time fillers – for reasons I shall now explain:
• They only show the pitches that result in a play in the field or an out in an inning. So thusly they move fast. And something is always happening. (Then again I’m a believer in the idea that something is always happening in a regular full-coverage 3 or 4 hour game also. Whatevs)
• They use the sounds of the game: crowd noise, balls smacking against bats, gloves smacking closed, cleats crunching the dirt, and inaudible yurps from players and umpires and coaches. But they do not use the play-by-play, obviously, because it would sound very weird and annoying to hear half-snippets of a Gary Cohen narration (as lovely as it is) being chopped up every 2 and half seconds. I assume they use the audio track from the field, and simply mute the announcing track…but how does the crowd noise always stay consistent? They are cutting to the next play every 2 seconds, which means they have eliminated minutes of time, yet the crowd doesn’t skip a beat. Maybe someone is literally sitting there putting an audio fade from one cut to the next as they edit together the thing in an MLB broom closet somewhere. Come to think of it that doesn’t sound like too terrible a job.
• It is very democratic. Because they use only the sounds from the field, there are no loud or special calls for homeruns or big strikeouts. The routine fly ball is given the same respect as the three-run homer. The only difference is the crowd noise, which increases when something big happens. It creates an odd serenity to the experience, akin to being at the game itself. This is, I think, what I like about it the most.
Mets just took two games from the Phillies, and both seemed like they were played in a strangely dark and empty wind tunnel. Watching the Facebook feed on Wednesday night I could see light faintly reflected off the sides of this metaphoric wind tunnel, every now and then illuminating the players with a yellowish glow. April baseball in the Northeast is fun.

The Mystery Producer
This past Monday, in my desperation, I put an ad on Craigslist for a producer who can raise at least 50% of the budget for Ghostkeeper. Counting today, Thursday, I have had only one possibility.
Someone with an odd name. Wat.
At first I dismissed it, but after a few days of nobody else coming in, I replied to him/her. Wat responded, wanted to see more, so I sent Wa the detailed proposal which includes the top sheet budget.
Wa said he/she would make some calls.
So do I think this is real. Who knows? My initial feeling is no, but stranger things have happened and so I figure why not go with it. At the same time, I'm moving forward to contact every distributor that's ever made a horror/suspense/sci-fi/supernatural film.
I'm not going to the majors, ie: Paramount, etc, because they really don't handle low budget films, that is unless I have a great movie that's already been made. They make money from $100 million movies, not $1.8 million.
Once in a while they take a plunge into the Blair Witch Project genre, Blair cost about $15,000 and made well over $100,000. But as I've said in the past, that's a "non-recurring phenomenon". The sequel to Blair didn't do as well.
To my advantage, I have a film that is a sequel of sorts to an older film, this gives me a bit of leverage as the original has been made and is getting some attention. Well, a little bit of attention. Got 306 viewers on Youtube and add about 10-15 each week.
And the new screenplay is a lot better than the original, I'm a better writer than I was in 1980. And I have half of the cast back and the DP who did such a great job.
And I'm more experienced in every aspect of filmmaking over the past 30 years. All of this has to be at the very least, interesting to examine for a distrib.
On the other hand, as of now, I have no money raised. And that's the tough one. If nobody has put in money, then nobody else wants to for one simple reason;
Nobody wants to be the first in.
Kind of like who dives off the cliff first.
You see lots of deals where one party gets half and the other gets the other half. But usually this means that the original party has no money in yet. And these deals often have neither party wanting to go in first.
The reason, mostly, is that each party really isn't that confident about the other party, "you got half and I got half" is the most often abused expression in the business. Kind of like playing blackjack in Vegas, the house shows its cards last.
You might not think that it would be an advantage, but it is.
There are as many deals as there are movies made and one that works for me might not work for anyone else. Bottom line is that I have to find the "first money" and this could also be a distributor.
How much first money? Not necessarily a lot. $50,000 is a good start. It could get $50,000 from another investor or two. They add up. Once around $200,000 of the budget is raised it gets easier. Those who don't have full confidence now see that this movie could actually get made.
There's another old saying in Hollywood, it's easier to raise $30 million than $500,000. And this is usually due to the fact that for $30 million you can get name actors, director and a studio behind you. For $500,000 you barely have enough to cover non-union crews and actors lower on the totem pole.
So at $1.8 million we're in a level that is harder to define, can't afford the big guys, can't really afford union crews like IATSE and DGA. And we get breaks from SAG and WGA.
Wonder how much Wat will bring in.
(Mon: Name cast or not)

Tooth Extraction
Sometimes teeth need to be removed.
This could be for a number of reasons:
The Procedure
The procedure for removing teeth is usually straightforward.
Your dentist will use a local anaesthetic to ensure that you do not feel any pain during the procedure.
Special instruments are used to grip the tooth and gently remove it.
There is usually minimal bleeding and this is stopped before you leave the dental surgery by asking you to bite firmly on cotton gauze. Your dentist will give you a written list of instruction which you should follow for the a few days following a tooth extraction to ensure the area is kept as clean as possible and prevent any infections and aid healing.
A surgical extraction is a more complex procedure. It is used if a tooth may have broken off at the gum line or has not come into the mouth yet. Surgical extractions commonly are done by oral surgeons, when you will be referred to your local dental hospital department by your regular dentist. However, they can also be done by general dentists. The dentist makes a small incision (cut) into your gum. Sometimes it’s necessary to remove some of the bone around the tooth or to cut the tooth in half in order to extract it.
Risks to treatment
There are certain risks associated with both simple and surgical tooth extractions. The most common risk is infection, but as long as you follow your dentist’s instructions, you should be able to avoid this. A dry socket is another risk associated with tooth extraction. When you have a tooth removed, blood usually clots inside the open socket, sealing off the bone underneath. If this doesn’t happen, your bone will be left exposed and that can be extremely painful. If you develop a dry socket, you’ll need to see your dentist to get proper treatment. Other possible risks include damage to surrounding teeth and nerves, which could cause extended numbness but this is rare. To help avoid complications following your procedure, practice good oral hygiene. Use ice to minimize swelling and avoid rinsing your mouth for at least 24 hours.
During the procedure, broken root tips, bone chips and fragments are fairly common complications following a dental extraction. A small uninfected root tip can sometimes be left inside the jaw after a dental extraction if its removal might be too difficult or cause too much trauma for the patient. Often root tips, bone chips and fragments will work their way out on their own, but may also need some help from the dentist to remove them completely. An infected root tip stuck in the jaw bone will require surgical removal.
"Very happy with the service and text communication system"
"Friendly helpful staff, make you feel at ease"
"Good service, the hygienist was lovely and very helpful"
"It’s always a very gentle and caring experience and I am always well looked after"
"I have already highly recommended the practice to friends and family"

If using PlayBook, make sure to have the correct element(s) defined
otherwise, if you are trying to access the API from a remote website, then you need to white list that correctly in config.xml like this:
<access uri="" subdomains="true">
<feature id="" />

What device are you running? The code seems fine and it should work. You can get the eventlogs from the device and see what exceptions are being thrown.

What To Do With Money When You Suddenly Won It?
What To Do With Money When You Suddenly Won It?
A windfall of cash is a dream that rarely comes true. Casino and gambling are two places where players do stand at a chance to win sudden money. But before trying your hands, it is utmost important to know what to do with the windfall? Shall you further invest the money in your business or save all of it to use it later? Online casinos in Canada have come out as a great way to kill stress and win some money. More and more people are logging on to international legitimate websites to try their luck. However, they often find themselves lost when presented with huge winning amount.
Here, it is vital to understand that there are two types of money – gradual and sudden. The gradual is the amount that you gather from your income i.e. it increases gradually. Sudden income is a sudden rise in income due to profit or other similar transactions. Managing gradual money is easier than handling the sudden money or sudden inflow of money. Suppose you have won 2 million dollars playing online casinos what would you do? It is a difficult question, right? In a situation like this, you can always do what others do when they win a lottery or win a game in the casino. Here are some interesting things that you can do:
1. Reinvest: People who find casino lucky often end up reinvesting the winning amount to multiple it further. This, however, not always turns out to be beneficial as most of them lose the amount and end up having nothing. They do feel disappointed, but they do not really mind it as the money invested was worth of entertainment for them.
2. Offer Drinks: Winning money in the casino can be a dream come true. Some people offer a treat to other casino players or even the entire casino players as a celebration of the money they won.
3. Take it Home: There is so much that could be done with the casino money. If you cannot keep it in the bank, you can always keep it in your house and save it to be used later. Very few casino players, however, have admitted of saving the winning amount for future. But, it is always best to keep it safe as a sudden windfall is not going to happen every time.
4. Party with Friends: Some casino or lottery winners call up their friends to share their success story and throw a party. Well, who does not like to spend some nice time with friends? A sudden windfall is the most effective way to have a huge party at your place.
5. Go for Shopping: Many a time we suppress our desire of buying branded attires for the sake of saving. But with the windfall of cash, you can go shopping and buy great stuff.
6. Invest in Business: Some brilliant minds wait for the right time and money to invest and start a new venture. If you have a great idea that is worth investing, why not invest and wait for the great results.
Playing and winning big is something that rarely happens. You may come across so many websites claiming of having awarded millions of dollars to their respective players. You cannot rely on such claims until and unless you have experienced it by yourself. Remember that there are times when players might lose big. Readiness to accept is one quality that everyone should inculcate to play casinos. Have the guts to face the losses and accept the winning gracefully. Although it may sound wise to invest and save the windfalls, there are certain do’s and dont’s that should also be considered at the same time. Here are a few things that should be considered while planning to invest the winning amount –
• Calculate Taxes: Certain casinos will require you to fill in tax forums before claiming the winning amount. In case they don’t you will have to figure it out yourself as for how you will declare the amount in your bank. If you have won too big, you may have to hire someone to help you legally disclose the money. A financial advisor or tax specialist can be consulted for calculating taxes and declaring the winning amount.
• Set Deadlines: While playing online you may stand a chance to win millions of dollars. You are the owner of the money, and you have the right to spend it. But spending wisely is what everyone should concentrate on. It is the right time to set deadlines, so you know how much you have to spend and where you need to spend. Spending the entire winning amount on bears may sound crazy. Equally dividing the winning amount to give to a spending bracket is the wisest thing that you can do. For instance, if your wife is pregnant, you can save some money for her and the baby. You can also save money for your new house or property that you would like to buy in the future. Set a priority and decide how much you should invest. This will give you a clear picture of how much you should invest and save.
• Keep it a secret: If you have won big, try to keep you’re winning a secret. Tough, nothing can scare you, but do you know what happened to Urooj Khan, an Indian immigrant who won $1 million in the lottery in 2012 in the US state of Illinois? Well, he was murdered, and no one knows who killed him.
As stated above sudden money windfalls can bring happiness, but too much happiness can become a matter of worry for some. Your happiness relies on how you manage the money you have won in the lottery or while playing in casino. The best thing that you should do is hire someone to help you manage it. Hire a financial advisor if the amount is too big to handle alone. Don’t brag about it until the winning amount is so huge that media cannot resist from publishing it. Set priorities and stick with them. By doing all this, you will be in a position to better manage the sudden windfall.

Understanding your blood pressure numbers
Understanding your blood pressure numbers
When you go to the doctor, one of the most common vitals you’ll have checked is your blood pressure. After strapping the inflatable cuff on your arm, the nurse will tell you something like “120 over 80.”
But what does that really mean?
Understanding the numbers behind your blood pressure may help control your risks of hypertension (also known as high blood pressure), heart disease and more. To help you feel more empowered when you visit the doctor, let’s look at what these vitals mean.
Blood pressure has two numbers:
• The top number is your systolic blood pressure. This is the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart beats. If your number is higher, your blood exerts more pressure against your artery walls during each contraction of your heart muscle.
• The bottom number is your diastolic blood pressure. This is the pressure in the blood vessels in between heartbeats. A normal diastolic number is lower than 80.
For a normal, healthy adult, the top and bottom numbers usually add up to something around 120 over 80. If these numbers are too low, or too high, there might be a problem.
For example, someone with high blood pressure may have a systolic reading of 130-139 or a diastolic reading of 80-89. The higher the numbers go, the more at-risk you may be for heart attack or stroke.
While both numbers are important, the top number (systolic) is given more attention as a way to figure out if you may be at risk for heart disease.
These numbers typically increase with age but if you have an elevated reading, it can be part of a diagnosis for high blood pressure. About a third of adults in the U.S. have high blood pressure, and only 54% are keeping it under control.
“It’s a good idea to form heart-healthy habits to help protect yourself against high blood pressure,” said Dr. Ravi Johar, chief medical officer of UnitedHealthcare. “In many cases, controlling your weight, exercising, relieving stress and avoiding excessive salt intake is enough to control your blood pressure without the need for medications. If you are already taking medications for blood pressure, do not stop them, unless advised by your doctor.”
High blood pressure is the result of more blood being pumped by your heart through narrowing arteries, which can raise your risk for heart disease and stroke. You may not experience any signs or symptoms. The only way to know is by checking your blood pressure regularly. Readings may range from about 130 over 80 to 140 over 90 and higher.
The good news is you may be able to control high blood pressure through lifestyle changes and a healthier diet that is low in sodium, fat and cholesterol. Being active, not smoking and if needed, a prescription for medication may also help.
Checking blood pressure might be as common as putting a thermometer in your mouth or stepping on the scale at the doctor’s office but it’s a crucial test for your health care team to help make sure you are staying healthy and thriving.
If you have any questions about your blood pressure, be sure to reach out to your health care provider.

Mumbai skyscraper touted as way to rehabilitate slum. Not.
This dazzling building won honorable mention in a skyscaper contest. Yes, it’s quite amazing, with an open air, interconnected environments. But it’s being touted as a way to regenerate and reinvigorate the massive Dharavia slum in Mumbai. And that’s the problem I have with such massive structures being plopped down in distressed areas. Most of the poor there would be forced to relocate during construction, rents would soar once the building was built, and any remaining poor would have to pass through security checks in the building when going to their menial jobs inside it. Such buildings are meant for the wealthy, are built like fortresses, and do nothing to alievate slum conditions except to push the poor elsewhere. It might as well being a starship filled with space aliens landing in a slum for all the good it will do for the current inhabitants.

Born to Be Wild: Why Wolves Are and Dogs Aren’t
By Dr. Karen Becker
Because dogs and wolves are so genetically similar, humans have made assumptions about the sensory development of young wolves based on what we know about the maturation process of domesticated puppies.
However, researchers have noted some interesting early developmental distinctions between wolf and dog puppies that could explain why adult wolves remain wild, while dogs so easily grow into their role as companions.
Recent doctoral research published the journal Ethology fills in some of the knowledge gaps about early wolf vs. puppy development. University of Massachusetts Amherst evolutionary biologist Kathryn Lord’s doctoral research suggests the different behaviors of adult wolves …read more

House VI
House VI is a historic home and was built in 1899, but has since been completely renovated on the interior. It was originally a two-family building, but has been converted into a very large single family home. The hallways seemingly go on forever and there is a ton of space - including a dining room, second large dining/food prep area in the kitchen and a study at the back of the house on the main floor. The main floor also has a large laundry room, complete with laundry sorting/folding space.
The second and third floors have two huge bedrooms, an average sized room and a smaller bedroom, all carpeted. They also has two full baths, one with a stand-up shower as well as a large spa tub.
All bedrooms and common spaces in House V are fully furnished - including cookware and appliances in the kitchen, washer & dryer, and tasteful decor. Bedrooms have beds, desks, desk chairs and dressers.
It’s worth mentioning that this house is located in a transitional neighborhood and there are a few derelict houses down the block. If either of these factors is of concern, it’s probably not worth wasting our time or yours.
