I'm totally confused as to how to care for my hair as I am getting more and more into natural hair... any advice would be appreciated, help!!<|endoftext|>White Fillings\n\nWhat Are White Tooth Fillings?\n\nWhite tooth fillings are a plastic mixture mixed with glass that is the same color as a tooth. When they were first developed, they weren\u2019t durable enough to be used on anything but the front teeth, but the technology has advanced so that they are becoming the preferred method for all teeth.\n\nThe fact that they can be made to be the exact color as the surrounding teeth make them less visible and more aesthetically pleasing. Composites are also used as a way to change the color of the teeth or reshape them to look as natural as possible.\n\nIt\u2019s not hard to understand why they are so popular. Cavities are going to happen sometimes and who wants a mouth full of silver? That said, there are more than just cosmetic reasons for why they are a great option.\n\nHow Are White Fillings Placed?\n\nAt first, the process proceeds as it does for any filling \u2013 the dental cavity is drilled to create a hole for the filling substance. This process takes longer than silver ones because they are placed one layer at a time using a special light to harden the filling between each layer. After the drilled area is filled, the dentist will shape the final layer so that it fits in with the surface of the tooth.\n\nWhat Are Some Advantages of Getting White Fillings?\n\nAs we\u2019ve already said, the main advantage is aesthetics. The color can be blended to match the actual tooth, making them nearly invisible. But there are some practical advantages too, including:\n\n \u2022 Composite white fillings bond to the tooth offering more support to the remaining structure, whereas silver ones fill in space\n \u2022 Smaller fillings can be made which will better protect the integrity of the tooth\n \u2022 For problems with any of the front teeth, this will keep them looking natural\n \u2022 They are less sensitive to heat and cold\n \u2022 Most of the time, the filling can be repaired if they crack or break. With amalgam, the whole thing would have to be removed and replaced\n\nAre There Any Disadvantages?\n\nThe area needs to be completely dry for the white filling to be placed, which is obviously a difficult thing to do with a mouth full of moisture.\nThe composite white fillings can stain if you drink tea or coffee, just like your natural teeth. They also can wear down more quickly than the surrounding teeth. However, if this happens it will be easy for your dentist to add additional layers to it.\n\nFor large cavities, a silver amalgam filling will last a little longer than white ones do, although each will last 7 \u2013 10 years.\n\nDo I Need to Replace My Silver Fillings with White Ones?\n\nIn most cases, no. As your fillings age and need repairing, your dentist will typically begin to switch them all over to white. But there is no need to have any of them removed for the purpose of replacing them with a white composite.\n\nTaking Care of Your White Fillings\n\nThe best way to care for a filling is to treat it like a normal tooth and\u00a0continue performing good oral care by brushing twice a day and flossing once a day. We recommend visiting the dentist twice a year for checkups and stay away from too many sugary snacks.\n\nRemember, the best way to care for your filling is not to get them in the first place. Oral hygiene should be taken seriously for preventative action.\n\nSchedule Your Next Dental Appointment Today!\n\n\nDrop us a line!\n\n(403) 209 2299\n(403) 209 2288\nHours of Operation:\nMonday: 7am- 5 pm\nTuesday: 7am- 3pm\nWednesday: 7am- 5pm\nThursday: 7am- 3pm\nFriday: By Appointment\nSaturday, Sunday: Closed\n\nCopyright 2018 R&A Dentistry | Website built by Eidelberg Lee<|endoftext|>For the entire season, the average five-day forecast track error was 259 miles, Franklin said.<|endoftext|>Ayushmann Khurrana: 'I used to be a country bumpkin'\n\nAyushmann Khurrana reveals he used to be a country bumpkin.\n\nAyushmann Khurrana has revealed that he used to be a country bumpkin.\n\nThe actor was speaking at the launch of a range of autumn and winter wear at Woodland.\n\nHe told IANS: \"My fashion statement changes quite often as I think no-one becomes a style guru overnight.\n\n\"It's a gradual process.

But there are some practical advantages too, including:\n\n \u2022 Composite white fillings bond to the tooth offering more support to the remaining structure, whereas silver ones fill in space\n \u2022 Smaller fillings can be made which will better protect the integrity of the tooth\n \u2022 For problems with any of the front teeth, this will keep them looking natural\n \u2022 They are less sensitive to heat and cold\n \u2022 Most of the time, the filling can be repaired if they crack or break. With amalgam, the whole thing would have to be removed and replaced\n\nAre There Any Disadvantages?\n\nThe area needs to be completely dry for the white filling to be placed, which is obviously a difficult thing to do with a mouth full of moisture.\nThe composite white fillings can stain if you drink tea or coffee, just like your natural teeth. They also can wear down more quickly than the surrounding teeth. However, if this happens it will be easy for your dentist to add additional layers to it.\n\nFor large cavities, a silver amalgam filling will last a little longer than white ones do, although each will last 7 \u2013 10 years.\n\nDo I Need to Replace My Silver Fillings with White Ones?\n\nIn most cases, no. As your fillings age and need repairing, your dentist will typically begin to switch them all over to white. But there is no need to have any of them removed for the purpose of replacing them with a white composite.\n\nTaking Care of Your White Fillings\n\nThe best way to care for a filling is to treat it like a normal tooth and\u00a0continue performing good oral care by brushing twice a day and flossing once a day. We recommend visiting the dentist twice a year for checkups and stay away from too many sugary snacks.\n\nRemember, the best way to care for your filling is not to get them in the first place. Oral hygiene should be taken seriously for preventative action.\n\nSchedule Your Next Dental Appointment Today!\n\n\nDrop us a line!\n\n(403) 209 2299\n(403) 209 2288\nHours of Operation:\nMonday: 7am- 5 pm\nTuesday: 7am- 3pm\nWednesday: 7am- 5pm\nThursday: 7am- 3pm\nFriday: By Appointment\nSaturday, Sunday: Closed\n\nCopyright 2018 R&A Dentistry | Website built by Eidelberg Lee<|endoftext|>Ayushmann Khurrana: 'I used to be a country bumpkin'\n\nAyushmann Khurrana reveals he used to be a country bumpkin.\n\nAyushmann Khurrana has revealed that he used to be a country bumpkin.\n\nThe actor was speaking at the launch of a range of autumn and winter wear at Woodland.\n\nHe told IANS: \"My fashion statement changes quite often as I think no-one becomes a style guru overnight.\n\n\"It's a gradual process.

Among our guests will be Associate Professor Helen Ennis, from the Australian National University and Griffith University's Dr Margaret Gibson. Here's a quick preview.\n\nMargaret Gibson: We can't reach out and touch death when we're looking at it on a computer monitor or a television screen, you know, it's purely a visual experience. So even though we could be moved by that experience, it sort of cuts us off from our other senses, so we don't hear things, we don't smell, we don't touch our relationship to death, which we do have when it's in a face-to-face experience, or where we're witnessing a loved one dying. All our senses are kind of integrated in that experience. So I think we're more alienated now through what's often called the scopic regime that we live in, that everything is processed through the eye, you know, it's an optical kind of visual culture that we live in, which means that we can look at things up close, but it's always at a distance, if you know what I mean. So we can bring things to our eyes, we can inspect death in this very intense, visual way, but we know it's not really going to touch us, or we're not really going to touch it. So there's a kind of safety in that, but there's also an alienation as well.\n\nAntony Funnell: That's 'Death in the 21st century', next week on Future Tense.\n\n\nAl Gore\nFormer Vice President of the United States, environmental activist and founder of Repower America.\nProfessor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg\nSafe Climate Australia foundation member and Director for the Centre for Marine Studies, University of Queensland.\nPhillip Sutton\nSafe Climate Australia foundation member.

I wrote another article instead of reviewing one of many webcomics that have been on my review list for way too long.\n\nHowever, one thing I've learned lately is that I need to prioritize what I want to write about rather than what I should write about. Focusing on the latter is a way to not get anything done, as my mind ends up wandering off elsewhere.\n\nWhat motivates me to write is a desire to have fun. Not helping creators improve, building an audience, establishing credibility or performing a service for the webcomics community. I'm not a people pleaser, I'm not an entertainer and, frankly, I don't give a shit what people think about my reviewing skills.\n\nAs a reader of this blog, you have the choice to continue to read my posts or to ignore them. Any words of encouragement or discouragement I get aren't important to me. My mind is a wildfire of ideas, and while this blog is only a tiny glimpse into my thoughts, it's inevitable that some of these ideas are going to manifest as words at some point. And they're going to be the ideas that are fun for me to write about, no matter how unappealing or unconventional they seem. \u00a0\n\nTalking About Myself\n\nOne thing I've never done in my five-plus years of blogging is talk about myself. At least, not really.\n\nIt isn't a topic that falls into the \u201cfun to write about\u201d category for me. For one, I'm a highly private and introspective person. I have a lot of thoughts about my beliefs and experiences that I'm not particularly eager to share online, or with anyone for that matter. It's more comfortable for me to just be a mysterious blogger.\n\nAnother key factor is that I don't want my background and identity to be important. I aim to make my reviews as objective and impersonal as I can, and it doesn't seem like who I am should matter. Plus, when I review a webcomic, there are a lot of aspects I have to address, and it doesn't make sense to spend time writing about myself rather than writing about the comic. From that perspective, bringing up my personal life is a distraction at best, and narcissistic at worst.\n\nFinally, I don't want my criticisms to be redirected at me or my creative projects. Whenever I criticize and scrutinize other people's work, it would be easy to respond by challenging me to demonstrate that I can do better, and I'd rather not go there. It's not that I'm uncomfortable with being on the receiving end of criticism \u2014 I've had my own work critiqued many times, and I'm confident that I have a solid track record of handling feedback with maturity \u2014 but it's just not something that I think would be useful or relevant in this situation.\n\nSo where am I going with all of this? Well, I don't think it's really possible to separate the reviewer from a review. It's just not part of human nature to be able to avoid asking, \u201cWho is this guy?\u201d And before I get back to writing reviews, I want to take a moment to briefly address that question.\n\nOpportunities for Improvement\n\nIt might seem like I'm a grouch who hates everything, but I'm actually a very positive person. I'm eager to challenge myself, accomplish my goals, learn and experience new things, start and complete projects, and look for new ways to make my life better. And when I read webcomics, especially the ones made by inexperienced creators, I notice a lot of opportunities for improvement. Sometimes, I can imagine a comic becoming really great if one or two major issues were fixed.\n\nHowever, I'm also experienced and realistic enough to know that it's unlikely for these creators to accept my feedback. Whether it's because creators don't take my complaints seriously or because they aren't conditioned to getting negative criticism, my reviews usually don't seem to be helpful or appreciated.

-{"pt_doc": " Black Moon, the strain on Sailor Moon (Usagi Tsukino) and the remaining senshi begins to weigh heavily on them. In the previous Dark Kingdom arc Usagi spent most of the time mooning over (pun not intended) Mamoru Chiba when he was kidnapped by Queen Beryl. But her concern here for her missing comrades' safety is felt even by friends who remain unaware of her double-life as the incarnated princess of a lost kingdom. There's a real vulnerability to Usagi that was absent in earlier volumes that tended to emphasize her \"cute\" shortcomings, such as her clumsiness and laziness. And even Sailor Jupiter (Makoto Kino) is treated to some brief character development that goes beyond her identity as the team's \"big girl\" before quickly becoming the story's next kidnap victim.\n\nA lot of the unease is due to Usagi's antagonistic relationship with Chibi-Usa. She's the only person who openly distrusts the mysterious child's true motives, and doesn't understand why the others on the team are more willing to indulge her oddball behavior (I'm a little confused about that myself). When Chibi-Usa's latest escapade almost results in disaster for everyone, Usagi lets her have it. After all, the team's down to half-strength, the missing members could be dead for all she knows, and here's this obnoxious brat stealing her magical items and running around half-cocked. This also leads to Usagi and Mamoru's first lovers spat. Usagi resents Mamoru's affectionate interactions with Chibi-Usa. I know. Being jealous of a prepubescent girl isn't Usagi's finest moment. Late in the volume this almost gets her killed. And when Chibi-Usa reveals who she really is, the whole thing between the three acquires an even more twisted meaning. But so far, this pettiness is the most relatable emotion to come out of the series. Usagi and Mamoru do get to make up afterwards, only for creator Naoko Takeuchi to become more coy than a film director working under the Hays Code. So you'll have to decide for yourself whether they consummated their romance or not.\n\nThe big reveal of this volume (Spoiler Alert) is that Chibi-Usa and the Black Moon are from the future, where everything was fine until the Black Moon decided to take over the world and invade the past. So everyone gets to travel to the future and meet a new senshi, Sailor Pluto. What can I say. It wasn't that long ago when Pluto was stripped of its planet label. Whatever. For the needs of this series, Sailor Pluto is the guardian of the underworld (patterned after her mythical namesake) and this apparently makes her the guardian of time as well. So I guess we'll be seeing more for her. The whole time travel trope generates a new wrinkle on the series love vs. fate theme. Before, Usagi and Mamoru worried about repeating the past. Now they worry about whether the future is written in stone. Actually their future selves turn out alright. But the future in general is another thing altogether.\n\nYou know how you're supposed to believe that Bedford Falls is a hunky-dory place, while Pottersville is its undesirable doppleganger, but deep in your heart you find the former to be utterly drab and would prefer to hang out at the nightclubs of the latter? Future Tokyo is even more uninteresting than that sleepy American town, resembling Krypton from Richard Donner's Superman. It's an advanced, stable society where everyone is near-immortal. It's meant to be seen as a utopia. But it feels sterile. This future is seen mainly through the eyes of Chibi-Usa, who turns out to be a princess. She should be happy. It's apparent that she's a spoiled child. But she's downright miserable, subverting the classic princess fantasy. Living in the shadow of her charismatic mother. Not exhibiting any of the supernatural abilities that are her royal birthright and being teased mercilessly for it. And worse of all, stunted in her physical growth so that she has inexplicably remained a little girl for nine hundred years. Her existence sounds like a child's worst nightmare. And this revelation transforms her from a very unlikeable character into a truly pitiable figure. Why hasn't she joined the Black Moon and tried to overthrow the status quo?\n\nHere's one explanation: The rebel leader Prince Demande\u00a0is a creep. Aside from the mass murder he carries out in both the present and the future, he constantly threatens Chibi-Usa's life, forces himself on a helpless Usagi, and calls himself \"prince\" like it actually means something. His villainous grandstanding makes the previous wannabe-royal Queen Beryl look like a decent human being. Whatever moral ambiguity that could arise in other parts of the book is replaced by the simple desire to see someone kick this guy's ass. Unfortunately, that will have to take place in future volumes.<|endoftext|>At his request, he will be reassigned within the district.<|endoftext|>What happens to home equity when you divorce?\n\n| Oct 30, 2018 | Uncategorized |\n\nDivorcing your husband or wife is generally a highly emotional process, and there are a number of important matters you will need to address along the way. Chances are, your shared home is one of, if not the, most valuable asset you and your spouse co-own. Therefore, one such matter you will need to devote attention to is what you plan to do with the house following your split.\n\nWhen it comes to dividing home equity during divorce, you typically have three options at your disposal.\n\nOption 1: Divide sale proceeds down the middle\n\nIn many cases, couples who decide to go their separate ways want a fresh start, and this might mean both parties plan to vacate their once-shared home. Therefore, one method of dividing home equity amid divorce simply involves selling the house and splitting the proceeds from the sale between the two of you.\n\nOption 2: Have one party stay while the other party leaves\n\nIf you and your spouse have, for example, children living in your family home, you may decide to have one spouse remain there in an effort to avoid uprooting them kids from what is familiar. If you opt for this route, your best bet might be to have the person who stays in the house\u00a0refinance the mortgage to exclude the other party. That way, your children still get to live in the home, but you and your soon-to-be-ex-spouse no longer share the asset.\n\nOption 3: Maintain joint-ownership of the home\n\nA third and typically less common option involves having both parties remain in the house for some time following the split.

That does not, however, mean that those without a Thermie can't get this dish happening.\u00a0 A food processor, stick blender (with an enclosed container!) or even a good blender (maybe with a bit of help from you) will do the trick.\n\n\u00a0I sauteed off some diced chicken breast to give a bit of substance to the meal for the big tummies of the family, but with the nuts and pasta, it would make a balanced meatless meal idea too!\n\nAs", "base_doc": " Black Moon, the strain on Sailor Moon (Usagi Tsukino) and the remaining senshi begins to weigh heavily on them. In the previous Dark Kingdom arc Usagi spent most of the time mooning over (pun not intended) Mamoru Chiba when he was kidnapped by Queen Beryl. But her concern here for her missing comrades' safety is felt even by friends who remain unaware of her double-life as the incarnated princess of a lost kingdom. There's a real vulnerability to Usagi that was absent in earlier volumes that tended to emphasize her \"cute\" shortcomings, such as her clumsiness and laziness. And even Sailor Jupiter (Makoto Kino) is treated to some brief character development that goes beyond her identity as the team's \"big girl\" before quickly becoming the story's next kidnap victim.\n\nA lot of the unease is due to Usagi's antagonistic relationship with Chibi-Usa. She's the only person who openly distrusts the mysterious child's true motives, and doesn't understand why the others on the team are more willing to indulge her oddball behavior (I'm a little confused about that myself). When Chibi-Usa's latest escapade almost results in disaster for everyone, Usagi lets her have it. After all, the team's down to half-strength, the missing members could be dead for all she knows, and here's this obnoxious brat stealing her magical items and running around half-cocked. This also leads to Usagi and Mamoru's first lovers spat. Usagi resents Mamoru's affectionate interactions with Chibi-Usa. I know. Being jealous of a prepubescent girl isn't Usagi's finest moment. Late in the volume this almost gets her killed. And when Chibi-Usa reveals who she really is, the whole thing between the three acquires an even more twisted meaning. But so far, this pettiness is the most relatable emotion to come out of the series. Usagi and Mamoru do get to make up afterwards, only for creator Naoko Takeuchi to become more coy than a film director working under the Hays Code. So you'll have to decide for yourself whether they consummated their romance or not.\n\nThe big reveal of this volume (Spoiler Alert) is that Chibi-Usa and the Black Moon are from the future, where everything was fine until the Black Moon decided to take over the world and invade the past. So everyone gets to travel to the future and meet a new senshi, Sailor Pluto. What can I say. It wasn't that long ago when Pluto was stripped of its planet label. Whatever. For the needs of this series, Sailor Pluto is the guardian of the underworld (patterned after her mythical namesake) and this apparently makes her the guardian of time as well. So I guess we'll be seeing more for her. The whole time travel trope generates a new wrinkle on the series love vs. fate theme. Before, Usagi and Mamoru worried about repeating the past. Now they worry about whether the future is written in stone. Actually their future selves turn out alright. But the future in general is another thing altogether.\n\nYou know how you're supposed to believe that Bedford Falls is a hunky-dory place, while Pottersville is its undesirable doppleganger, but deep in your heart you find the former to be utterly drab and would prefer to hang out at the nightclubs of the latter? Future Tokyo is even more uninteresting than that sleepy American town, resembling Krypton from Richard Donner's Superman. It's an advanced, stable society where everyone is near-immortal. It's meant to be seen as a utopia. But it feels sterile. This future is seen mainly through the eyes of Chibi-Usa, who turns out to be a princess. She should be happy. It's apparent that she's a spoiled child. But she's downright miserable, subverting the classic princess fantasy. Living in the shadow of her charismatic mother. Not exhibiting any of the supernatural abilities that are her royal birthright and being teased mercilessly for it. And worse of all, stunted in her physical growth so that she has inexplicably remained a little girl for nine hundred years. Her existence sounds like a child's worst nightmare. And this revelation transforms her from a very unlikeable character into a truly pitiable figure. Why hasn't she joined the Black Moon and tried to overthrow the status quo?\n\nHere's one explanation: The rebel leader Prince Demande\u00a0is a creep. Aside from the mass murder he carries out in both the present and the future, he constantly threatens Chibi-Usa's life, forces himself on a helpless Usagi, and calls himself \"prince\" like it actually means something. His villainous grandstanding makes the previous wannabe-royal Queen Beryl look like a decent human being. Whatever moral ambiguity that could arise in other parts of the book is replaced by the simple desire to see someone kick this guy's ass. Unfortunately, that will have to take place in future volumes.<|endoftext|>What happens to home equity when you divorce?\n\n| Oct 30, 2018 | Uncategorized |\n\nDivorcing your husband or wife is generally a highly emotional process, and there are a number of important matters you will need to address along the way. Chances are, your shared home is one of, if not the, most valuable asset you and your spouse co-own. Therefore, one such matter you will need to devote attention to is what you plan to do with the house following your split.\n\nWhen it comes to dividing home equity during divorce, you typically have three options at your disposal.\n\nOption 1: Divide sale proceeds down the middle\n\nIn many cases, couples who decide to go their separate ways want a fresh start, and this might mean both parties plan to vacate their once-shared home. Therefore, one method of dividing home equity amid divorce simply involves selling the house and splitting the proceeds from the sale between the two of you.\n\nOption 2: Have one party stay while the other party leaves\n\nIf you and your spouse have, for example, children living in your family home, you may decide to have one spouse remain there in an effort to avoid uprooting them kids from what is familiar. If you opt for this route, your best bet might be to have the person who stays in the house\u00a0refinance the mortgage to exclude the other party. That way, your children still get to live in the home, but you and your soon-to-be-ex-spouse no longer share the asset.\n\nOption 3: Maintain joint-ownership of the home\n\nA third and typically less common option involves having both parties remain in the house for some time following the split. While this may not work for many couples, it may be the only option for those who do not have enough saved up to live separately. This option may also work for high-income couples who have the resources available to split their time between the family home and another one.\n\nTypically, most divorcing couples choose one of these three options to divide home equity during divorce. That does not, however, mean that these are your only options, and some divorcing couples get creative in the ways they choose to split home equity between them.<|endoftext|>Wednesday, 14 November 2012\n\nBasil, spinach, zucchini, macadamia and feta pesto\n\nPesto is a funny thing.\u00a0 Most people buy it in a jar these days, and yet at the same time it is seen as quite a 'gourmet' meal.\nMaybe its the Thermomix that makes me wonder why you'd buy it in a jar, and why anyone would consider it 'gourmet'!\nThis dish is what I would call 'fast food'!\u00a0 Perfect for those nights when you have 30 minutes to get dinner on the table.\u00a0 And yet it is so so nutritious - bursting with vitamins and minerals, enhanced by minimal cooking.\n\nWhat you will be serving up on a plate is essentially a whole heap of antioxidants, iron, fiber, and a vast array of other vitamins and minerals, thanks to the fresh baby spinach leaves, basil leaves, fresh garlic\n\u00a0and zucchini, essentially served raw.\n\nYes there is certainly a fat content to consider, so if you are watching your kilojoule intake perhaps reduce your serving size and bulk it up with steamed vegies or salad (or use this as a sauce/dressing stirred through a large bowl of steamed veggies).\u00a0 Having said that the majority of the fat content is nothing but really healthy fats - monounsaturated and polyunsaturated from the macadamias and olive oil.\n\nSo all in all this dish gets my tick for nutrition, simplicity and speed to table!\u00a0 Why order a pizza I ask you?!\n\nObviously the Thermomix is largely behind the simplicity of this meal, taking me less than 5 minutes to prepare - longer than boiling a pot of water and cooking your pasta!

It hasn\u2019t been rapid, and It\u2019s only now enough to absorb the workers who need jobs, but it\u2019s real. It\u2019s only natural for economists to ask, \u201cWhen does it end?\u201d\n\nThat\u2019s not because they are extremely un-fun people. It\u2019s their job. Recessions are a much bigger problem when no one sees them coming, and history shows that we never really see them coming. And that economists are always worried about the next recession, but we don\u2019t really listen to them.\n\nSo is it time to panic? As Groucho tells us, \u201cThere\u2019ll be plenty of time to panic later.\u201d\n\nGood times.\u00a0 Rollin\u2019?\n\nIt\u2019s not just the longevity of this boom that has market watchers worried that something bad is about to happen. The top reasons for concern are always related to a bubble, or the value of investments simply getting too far ahead of real market conditions. This is in many ways a variation on the arguments in favor of a stable money supply in that rises in asset prices essentially mean that there is more potential wealth in the system. Once some people try to convert that to cash, it simply goes away. It doesn\u2019t actually exist.\n\nIs there a huge bubble in asset prices that will bring down the whole economy when it collapses? That is what happened in 2008 when a series of bubbles, more than simply housing, went south in a hurry. While there is a lot of worry that investment markets for stocks, bonds, and commodities are experiencing bubbles to varying degrees, there isn\u2019t enough there to bring down the economy.\n\nStock prices have so little to do with the real economy that they can go up or down as they please.\n\nIt\u2019s never all about stocks.\n\nAnother common concern is that rising interest rates are going to be a threat to the economy. After more than a decade of extremely cheap money, this is genuinely going to reshape the economy. But how much? And will it cause a recession? The short answer is that it has to slow down growth, but not necessarily turn it negative. The Fed clearly doesn\u2019t want to run rates up quickly, although it may feel a need to catch up quickly if inflation really takes off.\n\nThat has the potential for seriously derailing everything. Like many recessions, the net result could well be that money is diverted into better investments all around, rather than simply seeking a higher yield regardless of how junky it might be. But that\u2019s far from the only issue with interest rates.\n\nThe chart below shows net consumer credit divided by GDP since the start of the last Depression. Notice a clear trend:\n\nConsumer debt liabilities divided by GDP. Data from teh St Louis Federal Reserve\n\nThis growth is outpacing economic growth rather dramatically. Where it stood at 16% of GDP in 2000, it quickly rose to 18% through the first official recession of the 2000s \u2013", "base_doc": "\n\nThere are also travel products, such as cruises and escorted tours, which are still reliant on telephone calls.

I also understand such things happening in the 18th century, when rich French aristocrats were finding refuge in London; but now in the 21st century, it does seem a little absurd to me.\u00a0\n\nI am very intrigued to know what grammarians think of this matter. Is it the lack of words? Or the urge to be better, and more \u201cChic\u201d? Or is it simply a habit? \u00a0 \u00a0\n\nWhat do you think\u2026.?\n\n\nLeave a Reply\n\n\nYou are commenting using your account.

It hasn\u2019t been rapid, and It\u2019s only now enough to absorb the workers who need jobs, but it\u2019s real. It\u2019s only natural for economists to ask, \u201cWhen does it end?\u201d\n\nThat\u2019s not because they are extremely un-fun people. It\u2019s their job. Recessions are a much bigger problem when no one sees them coming, and history shows that we never really see them coming. And that economists are always worried about the next recession, but we don\u2019t really listen to them.\n\nSo is it time to panic? As Groucho tells us, \u201cThere\u2019ll be plenty of time to panic later.\u201d\n\nGood times.\u00a0 Rollin\u2019?\n\nIt\u2019s not just the longevity of this boom that has market watchers worried that something bad is about to happen. The top reasons for concern are always related to a bubble, or the value of investments simply getting too far ahead of real market conditions. This is in many ways a variation on the arguments in favor of a stable money supply in that rises in asset prices essentially mean that there is more potential wealth in the system. Once some people try to convert that to cash, it simply goes away. It doesn\u2019t actually exist.\n\nIs there a huge bubble in asset prices that will bring down the whole economy when it collapses? That is what happened in 2008 when a series of bubbles, more than simply housing, went south in a hurry. While there is a lot of worry that investment markets for stocks, bonds, and commodities are experiencing bubbles to varying degrees, there isn\u2019t enough there to bring down the economy.\n\nStock prices have so little to do with the real economy that they can go up or down as they please.\n\nIt\u2019s never all about stocks.\n\nAnother common concern is that rising interest rates are going to be a threat to the economy. After more than a decade of extremely cheap money, this is genuinely going to reshape the economy. But how much? And will it cause a recession? The short answer is that it has to slow down growth, but not necessarily turn it negative. The Fed clearly doesn\u2019t want to run rates up quickly, although it may feel a need to catch up quickly if inflation really takes off.\n\nThat has the potential for seriously derailing everything. Like many recessions, the net result could well be that money is diverted into better investments all around, rather than simply seeking a higher yield regardless of how junky it might be. But that\u2019s far from the only issue with interest rates.\n\nThe chart below shows net consumer credit divided by GDP since the start of the last Depression. Notice a clear trend:\n\nConsumer debt liabilities divided by GDP. Data from teh St Louis Federal Reserve\n\nThis growth is outpacing economic growth rather dramatically. Where it stood at 16% of GDP in 2000, it quickly rose to 18% through the first official recession of the 2000s \u2013 this was a big part of the inflation of the bubble.

World literature generally gives us many ways to compare on work from another as for example, Odysseus in the epic poem The Odyssey by Homer, and Oedipus in the play Oedipus the King by Sophocles. These two men may have one thing in common, their pride. However, their relationships, self-control, and motivations are totally different from each other. Pride is a funny thing, too much or too little of it can hurt you, however, just enough pride can help you achieve many things. Pride can come from a lot of different things like, winning a battle, being king, or just being well known. Odysseus and Oedipus both had pride, but different forms of it. One of the men was more humble while the other would not listen to anyone. One of the men\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s pride led him to his fall and caused him to turn on his own friend, the other man\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s pride helped him achieve wondrous things like, getting back home to his family. We will write a custom essay sample on Odysseus or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page Oedipus was a king, as well as Odysseus, but Oedipus was not a very humble king. He was proud to be king and wanted everyone else to know he was king. Oedipus was well known among his people, but when asked questions about himself, he did not like to answer. Oedipus would avoid answering questions about himself. He would not listen to anything anybody had to say. For example, when Creon, Oedipus\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s brother-in-law and friend, comes back from the oracle with the news about the plague, Creon wishes to tell Oedipus in private, but Oedipus was everyone else to hear. Oedipus thought one way and one way only, his way. Oedipus also like to blame other people, nothing was ever his fault. In the play Oedipus the King by Sophocles, Thebes in under a plague and for the plague to lifted, the murderer of Laius must be driven out of Thebes. Oedipus goes on to blame the citizens of Thebes for making no attempt to find the criminals, because of his pride Oedipus will blame everyone else before he will blame himself. Another example of Oedipus blaming others, when Oedipus finds out he is the murderer, he goes to blame Creon thinking that Creon wants to steal his crown and thrown. Oedipus has a very hard believing anyone. Because of his pride Oedipus thinks he knows all and everyone else knows nothing. When the blind prophet Tiresias first tell Oedipus that he is the killer on Laius, Oedipus will not believe him and goes into a rage, Oedipus also will not believe Creon either. Oedipus\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s prided really hurt him. His people was beginning to think he was unjust king, and that he was going insane. Having too much pride can really hurt you as see with Oedipus. But there was a king who had balance between pride and being humble. Odysseus was also a king like Oedipus was, but Odysseus was a more humble king. He also did not have as much pride as Oedipus did. Now, Odysseus did have pride issues just like pretty much every human. He very famous among his people, everyone across the land knew who Odysseus was. Odysseus was not only well known to his people but he was also well known to the gods. Odysseus was someone the gods enjoyed talking about and someone who the gods had a lot of faith in. This probably had something to do with Odysseus\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s pride. Odysseus\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s pride was different from Oedipus\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s, instead of leading Odysseus to his fall, his pride actually helped him on his journey home. Odysseus had a lot of pride when it came to his family; he had a faithful wife and a courageous son. When it came to someone trying to hurt his family or trying to take his place, Odysseus would not stand for it. When Odysseus had heard about all the suitors in his palace he became outraged and wanted to get home as quickly as possible. When he got home he was dressed as a beggar so none of the suitors would know who he was and that he had returned back to Ithaca. However Odysseus did expect his father to know who he was when he went to see him. Odysseus decided to test his father to see if he would recognize Odysseus. When Odysseus notices that his father does know who he is and that his father is suffering and struggling without his son, this hurt Odysseus, knowing that his own father could not recognize him, but Odysseus decides to swallow his pride and tell his father that he is finally back. This shows that Odysseus has a humble side unlike Oedipus, Odysseus was not afraid to be humble. Another this Odysseus was not afraid to do was take advice from someone and listen to them, Oedipus had a very hard time doing this. For example, at the end of book XXIV of the epic poem The Odyssey, Zeus\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s daughter Athena commands Odysseus to stop the fighting and to make piece, so Odysseus takes her listens and takes her advice and makes piece with the people form the dead suitors\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 home town. The pride between these two is completely different, because one more humble while the other was very hard headed. The only characteristic Oedipus and Odysseus had in common was pride, everything else is very different between the two of them. The relationships that Oedipus and Odysseus had were not similar at all. Odysseus had many people that liked him and stood behind him n his decisions, while Oedipus hardly had any. Oedipus was known across his land but he only had one companion named Creon who was his brother-in-law. Oedipus did have a wife, who he was deeply in love with, but like everyone else, he would not listen to what she had to say, nor would he believe it. Oedipus had faith in his wife, but only that she would not sleep with any other man, he did not have faith in her words. He also did not have faith in what Creon or anyone else had to say. Creon was very loyal to Oedipus, but on the flip side, Oedipus was not very loyal to Creon. Oedipus was always thinking that Creon was trying to take his kingdom. When Creon tries to tell Oedipus the truth about killer and tried to help him, Oedipus just yells at Creon and starts to blame him. Odysseus had better relationships with his friends and family, and even the gods. Odysseus was well-known and well-liked across his land. When Odysseus needed help with anything, there was always someone wanting to help him. At the end of book XXIV of The Odyssey when the battle was about to begin, Odysseus had his friends and family all wanting to help him fight. Odysseus was a very well-liked person not only by his people but by the gods. The gods were very fond of Odysseus, they liked to help him all they good and bless him the best they could. When Odysseus was slaying the suitors, many people believed that he had help for the gods. Also, at the end of book XXIV the opposing warriors believe that Odysseus had the help from the gods, which he did. When Odysseus and his men were marching to the battle site Athena was there beside him helping him along. Odysseus had a lot of faith in his family and his friends. While he was away he did not have to worry about his friends betraying him or his wife not staying faithful. In fact, his wife told the suitors that she would marry when she got her shroud finish, but at night when she got done weaving for the day, she would sneak into the room and unweave most of what she had done during that day. Penelope, Odysseus\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s wife, wanted to stay faithful to her husband whatever it took, and whatever the consequences would be. Odysseus also had faith in the words his wife spoke; he would listen to her and believe what she said. Odysseus had very faithful friends and great relationships with them as well. His friend Dolius and his sons knew who Odysseus was the minute they saw him. However when Odysseus went to visit his father, Laerties, he could not recognize Odysseus.

The film, as intriguing, affecting, and mysterious as it is simple and direct, in no way deserved my disposable stab at insouciance, least of all for its seemingly gnomic title, which makes perfect sense: The planet we're being taken to is our own, but the film lets us know that familiar place in new and beautiful ways through the experience of its subject, a young South Korean man called Young-chan, and the mutually dependent (but hardly \"co-dependent,\" to employ a usually iffy psychobabble term), deeply loving relationship he has with his wife, Soon-ho.

It is principally Young-chan, who relates to the physical world in in a way slower and more tactile (i.e., \"snail\" like) than most of us can imagine, whose experience Yi's camera attempts, with impressive success, to bring us close to, even partly into (no mean feat; the camera eye tends innately to \"see\" more like the standard human one, not those of Young-chan). Like a snail emerging from its shell to engage with the world, not so much with the aid of its eyes (which barely sense shifts in light) as through its halting and hypersensitive physical orientation to the world around it, Young-chan experiences the rich extremes of inward and tactile experience with less effort than the rest of us normally sighted and hearing people find readily possible, delving deep into his imagination and lingering over physical sensations with a joy and intensity that's both pleasurable and enlightening to witness.\n\nYi hones what must have been scads of footage from Young-chan's and Soon-ho's daily lives into a structure that's lean (the film clocks in at around 90 minutes, which fly by despite its taking its time with what it's showing us) and a rhythm that's completely relaxed: The filmmaker's virtually exclusive concern is to focus our attention on the moments that best let us into the closeness of this relationship, and the extraordinariness with which Young-chan interacts with and responds to the home, institutional, social, and natural environments in which he finds himself. The scenes are flow together and connect one to the next mostly through establishing and expanding upon this most worthy aim: Young-chan and Soon-ho fly a kite, make and eat their supper, get Young-chan through an exam for a Hebrew class he's taking (the breadth, depth, and effort of his desire to expand his mind would make him unusual above and beyond his physical obstacles), and go inner-tubing in the snow, all while Young-chan does his artistic work, writing essays, poems, and plays (one of which we also see very briefly in the process of rehearsal and performance) via his braille pad. Adding another, enhancing aural layer at some key moments, Young-chan also reads in voice-over from his writings so that, to cite just one example, as we see him maneuver his way with his cane down a crowded sidewalk, his own verbally articulated, poetical expression of what that experience is like for him is the accompaniment on the soundtrack. One prolonged sequence involves what is for this couple the complicated and challenging changing of a fluorescent light bulb in their bedroom, which is conscientiously shot and edited by Yi so that we can feel the unusual time and care it takes for them to perform this simple task, and the victory they feel when they pull it off without a hitch.\n\nThat sense of triumph modestly taken in stride, like everything else in the film, benefits greatly from Yi's refusal to overemphasize, his insistence on maintaining the true-life texture of Young-chan's and Soon-ho's day-to-day existence.

The beauty of his and Soon-ho's accomplishment in replacing the bulb comes not from a superimposed, false aura of saintliness (Young-chan and Soon-ho are too genuinely in love and decent to need such a thing), or from some lack of faith that they are capable of pulling it off, but from Yi's patience in documenting the process as it unfolds.

The film, as intriguing, affecting, and mysterious as it is simple and direct, in no way deserved my disposable stab at insouciance, least of all for its seemingly gnomic title, which makes perfect sense: The planet we're being taken to is our own, but the film lets us know that familiar place in new and beautiful ways through the experience of its subject, a young South Korean man called Young-chan, and the mutually dependent (but hardly \"co-dependent,\" to employ a usually iffy psychobabble term), deeply loving relationship he has with his wife, Soon-ho. Both are disabled, the deaf-blind Young-chan more so than his wife, whose growth and physical capabilities have been affected by what appears to be a spinal condition. It is principally Young-chan, who relates to the physical world in in a way slower and more tactile (i.e., \"snail\" like) than most of us can imagine, whose experience Yi's camera attempts, with impressive success, to bring us close to, even partly into (no mean feat; the camera eye tends innately to \"see\" more like the standard human one, not those of Young-chan). Like a snail emerging from its shell to engage with the world, not so much with the aid of its eyes (which barely sense shifts in light) as through its halting and hypersensitive physical orientation to the world around it, Young-chan experiences the rich extremes of inward and tactile experience with less effort than the rest of us normally sighted and hearing people find readily possible, delving deep into his imagination and lingering over physical sensations with a joy and intensity that's both pleasurable and enlightening to witness.\n\nYi hones what must have been scads of footage from Young-chan's and Soon-ho's daily lives into a structure that's lean (the film clocks in at around 90 minutes, which fly by despite its taking its time with what it's showing us) and a rhythm that's completely relaxed: The filmmaker's virtually exclusive concern is to focus our attention on the moments that best let us into the closeness of this relationship, and the extraordinariness with which Young-chan interacts with and responds to the home, institutional, social, and natural environments in which he finds himself. The scenes are flow together and connect one to the next mostly through establishing and expanding upon this most worthy aim: Young-chan and Soon-ho fly a kite, make and eat their supper, get Young-chan through an exam for a Hebrew class he's taking (the breadth, depth, and effort of his desire to expand his mind would make him unusual above and beyond his physical obstacles), and go inner-tubing in the snow, all while Young-chan does his artistic work, writing essays, poems, and plays (one of which we also see very briefly in the process of rehearsal and performance) via his braille pad. Adding another, enhancing aural layer at some key moments, Young-chan also reads in voice-over from his writings so that, to cite just one example, as we see him maneuver his way with his cane down a crowded sidewalk, his own verbally articulated, poetical expression of what that experience is like for him is the accompaniment on the soundtrack. One prolonged sequence involves what is for this couple the complicated and challenging changing of a fluorescent light bulb in their bedroom, which is conscientiously shot and edited by Yi so that we can feel the unusual time and care it takes for them to perform this simple task, and the victory they feel when they pull it off without a hitch.\n\nThat sense of triumph modestly taken in stride, like everything else in the film, benefits greatly from Yi's refusal to overemphasize, his insistence on maintaining the true-life texture of Young-chan's and Soon-ho's day-to-day existence.

Humanity goes either way. Biblically speaking, Humanity naturally is at enmity against YHVH or in a state of war. Humanity is in a lost state and is naturally full of hate, wrath and murder because it chose to follow Lucifer\u2019s way and conformed to his image and likeness after the Fall of Mankind in the Garden of Eden according to the account of Genesis. Since that time, humans are born with the Way of Cain in our hearts. It is only by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ that this nature is put to death.\n\nChrist\u2019s death was a blood payment that can enable individuals within Humanity the right to have a new heart, a new Humanity that replaces good for evil, light for darkness, life for death, love for hate, and forgiveness for revenge. On which path are you on? There are only 2 paths, Christ came to tell us; the path of man-made religion that leads to death like the way of Cain or Christ\u2019s Highway of Holiness like that of Abel\u2019s that leads to forgiveness of sins and eternal life. The Bible does declare as Jesus Himself spoke that His path is narrow but by the grace of Christ, Humanity has a choice now, not the Fallen Angels even; consider how favored is Humanity by YHVH. According to the teachings of Jesus Christ, Humanity can only now freely choose eternal life in Christ Jesus alone.\n\n1) Way of Cain: bent on murder, rage and intolerance due to jealousy on man\u2019s terms that is based on \u2018good\u2019 works.\n2) Way of Abel: approaching YHVH in worship prescribed on GOD\u2019s terms and conditions.\n\nOver the course of human history, Lucifer has used \u2018religion\u2019 to enslave and massacre GOD\u2019s true Remnant; either by Holocausts, Inquisitions, and burning Believers at the stake or by banning Bibles for example. Ironically, Satan uses \u2018religions\u2019 thinking they are doing \u2018good\u2019 by destroying GOD\u2019s work and people, the Church. This condition has been mysteriously allowed by the LORD to occur throughout the Church Age as explained in the Parable of the Tares in that GOD chose to wait till the of the harvest of Time to clearly distinguish between the wheat and the tares. Why?\n\nIt is because at the beginning before there is a ripening, the two are so identical that they cannot be distinguished and if there is a harvesting early on, the good wheat might be destroyed. Currently the primary world religion used by Lucifer that still practices such policies against Christians and Jews is Islam. Lucifer also uses the \u2018religion\u2019 of secularism and political correctness to void morality and compromise the Churches through laws and legislation. May the LORD Jesus Christ hear the cries of His persecuted Saints at the hands of such an evil religion and its men in the Middle East and the world at-large. A time will be coming and is already her in the West and in the USA where Christians will be silenced through laws, censorship and political correctness.\n\nMay Christ comfort the persecuted Churches in the Muslim world in these Last Days of intensified testing and purification just before the ripening of the harvest of souls at the time of the Resurrection and Rapture of Christ\u2019s Church. May Christ\u2019s deliverance of His Bride come soon. How soon? Many Christians are believing that the Blessed Hope, the Rapture is to precede the Psalm 83 Muslim invasion of Israel that is very soon to take shape. One clue is given from one translation of verse 3 of Psalm 83: \u2026They have taken crafty counsel against thy people [Israel], and consulted against thy hidden ones. Perhaps the \u2018Hidden Ones is referring to those of the Church Age Christians that will have been Raptured just right before this alliance of evil to be unleashed against Israel?\n\nMain Sources\n\n\n\n\n\u00a9 Published by Vegapost Productions\n\u200bA website dedicated to the study of Biblical Eschatology.\n\nThis is PostScripts News Article\n\u200bRead more Articles at: www.PostScripts.org/articles.html\nFollow PSN online at www.PostScripts.org<|endoftext|>Galveston County District Attorney Kurt Sistrunk told Criss Wednesday his office only this week received the recordings.<|endoftext|>Can An Employee Rescind Their Resignation\n\nCan An Employee Rescind Their Resignation?\n\nWhat happens if you are an employee and you have tendered your resignation but subsequently change your mind and wish to remain employed with your employer? What happens if you are an employer and an employee provides notice of their resignation but returns to work stating they wish to rescind their resignation? Can the employee return to work? In order for an employer to prove that an employee has resigned, there must be \u201cclear and unequivocal\u201d evidence in order to establish the resignation.\n\nCan An Employee Rescind Their Resignation?\n\nCourts in various provinces in Canada have confirmed that an employee may be allowed to rescind their resignation, whether it is verbal and/or written, so long as this is done prior to the employer accepting the employee\u2019s resignation. This is consistent with the notion that so long as a resignation is not accepted before it is withdrawn, no resignation took place. What this means for employers is that the end of the employment relationship could be characterized as a wrongful dismissal.\n\n\nHowever, even if the employer has accepted such resignation prior to it being withdrawn, the employee may still be able to renege on their resignation provided the employer has not acted to its detriment following the employee\u2019s intention to resign.\n\nDisputes Over Resignations\n\nIn any event, matters involving disputes over resignations are very much assessed on a case-by-case basis and heavily dependent on the facts of that particular case. The Courts will most likely want to see there was clear evidence, before accepting that the employee had resigned, that the resignation was clear and unequivocal and that it was freely and voluntarily provided. Prior to taking any steps following any acts taken by the employee, employers should exercise due diligence and investigate the facts of the situation to ensure the employee truly has an intention to resign and that the resignation is not simply made in the heat of the moment.\n\n\nEmployee Resignation Experts\n\nIf you are an employer or employee and you are dealing with a situation involving resignation, we at KCY at LAW have the experience and expertise to properly and efficiently handle your matter and provide the advice you need before taking any further steps.

Cleland1\nChecked by Michael J. Umen and Herbert O. House.\n1. Procedure\nCaution! Since bromoacetone, a powerful lachrymator, is produced as a by-product in this preparation, the reaction should be performed in a hood.\nA tared, 500-ml., two-necked, round-bottomed flask is equipped with a magnetic stirring bar, a thermometer, and an ice-filled cooling bath. A solution of 13.5 g. (0.100 mole) of 4-aminoacetophenone (Note 1) in 200 ml. of acetone is placed in the flask and stirred while 32 ml. (about 0.3 mole) of aqueous 48% hydrobromic acid is added. After the resulting solution has been cooled to 5\u20137\u00b0, it is stirred continuously while 20 ml. of an aqueous solution containing 6.90 g. (0.100 mole) of sodium nitrite is added rapidly (30 seconds) beneath the surface of the reaction solution with a hypodermic syringe or a long-stemmed dropping funnel. Stirring and cooling are continued until the exothermic reaction subsides (Note 2) and the reaction solution has cooled to 14\u201315\u00b0. After 106 g. (100 ml., 1.47 moles) of acrylic acid (Note 3) is added, the solution is again cooled to 14\u201315\u00b0, with stirring, before 0.10\u20130.11 g. (0.00069\u20130.00077 mole) of copper(I) bromide (Note 4) is added. Stirring is continued, during which time the solution darkens, and nitrogen evolution is observed; the temperature of the reaction mixture is kept below 33\u00b0 by use of the external cooling bath. As soon as the evolution of nitrogen has ceased (usually 20 minutes is sufficient), the reaction solution is concentrated with a rotary evaporator, giving a mixture weighing about 120\u2013130 g. The residual brown suspension is mixed with 5 g. of decolorizing charcoal and 200 ml. of water, and the resulting mixture is boiled for 3 minutes, and filtered while hot through a B\u00fcchner funnel containing Celite filter aid. The residue on the filter is washed with 100 ml. of boiling water, and the combined filtrates are diluted with 300 ml. of water. The resulting aqueous solution, from which the product begins to crystallize, is cooled in a water bath and then allowed to stand in a refrigerator (0\u20133\u00b0) for 24 hours to complete the crystallization of the crude product. The crystalline solid is collected on a filter, washed with two 100-ml. portions of cold water, and dried in the air. The crude product, a pale yellow solid (19.1\u201322.2 g.), is recrystallized from 40 ml. of a 2:3 (v/v) formic acid-water mixture. The resulting crystals are collected on a filter, washed with 20 ml. of 2:3 (v/v) cold formic acid-water, and dried in the air, yielding 16.6\u201318.2 g. (61\u201367%) of white needles, m.p. 158\u2013160\u00b0, which are sufficiently pure for most purposes. Three additional crystallizations from 20-ml. portions of 2:3 (v/v) formic acid-water give 15.2\u201316.0 g. (56\u201359%) (Note 5) of the pure p-acetyl-\u03b1-bromohydrocinnamic acid, m.p. 159\u2013161\u00b0 (Note 6).\n2. Notes\n1. Commercial grades of acetone and 4-aminoacetophenone (Matheson, Coleman and Bell or Aldrich Chemical Company, Inc.) were used without further purification.\n2. The temperature of the reaction mixture rises to about 30\u00b0 and then falls to 15\u00b0 as stirring and cooling are continued. If this preparation were performed on a larger scale, it would probably be necessary to add the sodium nitrite solution over a longer period of time in order to control the temperature.\n3. A freshly opened bottle of acrylic acid, obtained from Eastman Organic Chemicals, was used without further purification. The checkers encountered difficulty in attempting to use samples of acrylic acid that had been stored in partially filled bottles for long periods of time.\n4. A reagent grade of copper(I) bromide, obtained from Fisher Scientific Company, was washed with acetone until the washings were colorless and then dried.\n5. The combined filtrates from these recrystallizations can be concentrated to obtain an additional 1\u20132 g. of product.\n6. The product has IR absorption (KBr) at 1735, 1645, and 1607 cm.\u22121 with a UV maximum (95% C2H5OH solution) at 252.5 nm (\u03b5 17,000). The sample has 1H NMR peaks (CF3CO2H) at \u03b4 2.78 (s, 3H, CH3CO), 3.2\u20133.9 (m, 2H, benzylic CH2), 4.60 (t, J = 7.5 Hz., 1H, CHBr), 7.47 (d, J = 9 Hz., 2H, aryl CH), and 8.10 (d, J = 9 Hz., 2H, aryl CH). The mass spectrum has weak molecular peaks at m/e 270 and 272 with the following relatively abundant fragment peaks: m/e (rel. int.), 191 (73), 175 (100), 131 (52), 103 (40), 77 (55), and 51 (43). The product gives a deep red color when treated with sodium nitroprusside and aqueous base; this color changes to dark blue upon acidification with acetic acid.\n3. Discussion\nThis procedure has been used to prepare a variety of substituted \u03b1-bromohydrocinnamic acids;2 p-acetyl-\u03b1-bromohydrocinnamic acid was prepared for the first time by this method. The method illustrates a typical application of the Meerwein reaction for the arylation of unsaturated substrates.3 In this reaction a catalytic amount of a copper(I) salt is used to reduce an aryl diazonium salt forming an aryl radical and a copper(II) halide. Addition of the aryl radical to an unsaturated substrate forms an alkyl radical that is reoxidized by the copper(II) halide present forming an alkyl halide and regenerating the copper(I) salt catalyst. In this preparation, the product, an \u03b1-bromo acid, is formed in an acidic reaction mixture and dehydrohalogenation does not occur. However, dehydrohalogenation of the intermediate halide is often observed in analogous reactions performed under neutral or basic reaction conditions.3 The use of the Meerwein reaction to form ultimately 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,3-butadiene by the addition of an intermediate aryl radical to 1,3-butadiene followed by dehydrohalogenation of the initially formed alkyl halide is illustrated in Organic Syntheses.4\n\nReferences and Notes\n 1.

-{"pt_doc": "\nFebruary is Black History Month\u2014an occasion to single out and honor black citizens who have made lasting and positive contributions to American society. Such a person was Sojourner Truth (1797-1883), a heroic black woman who worked against slavery in states from Maine to Kansas. She spent her last years in Battle Creek, Michigan, and her life is a study in how black and white Americans worked together for a more free and just society.\n\nBorn a slave in Ulster County, New York, Sojourner Truth actually grew up with a different name: Isabella. In her youth, she had several masters, one of whom beat her and scarred her for life. She grew tall, almost six feet in height, and strong; she was allowed to marry and had four children. In 1826, when her master John Dumont reneged on a promise to free her, Isabella ran away and began work for the Van Wagenens, a nearby Quaker family. When the angry Dumont found her, the Van Wagenens paid him $20 and secured her freedom.\n\nThe friendliness of the Van Wagenens helped Isabella learn that white people, like blacks, could be either friends or foes. More lessons of this kind would come quickly. In 1827, New York abolished slavery, but John Dumont sold Isabella\u2019s son Peter to a family in Alabama. When Isabella protested this sale, two white lawyers in New York gave her free legal help and liberated Peter through the courts.\n\nIsabella became fascinated by the notion that black and white could work together to fulfill the goals of the Declaration of Independence\u2014the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all Americans. In her middle age, Isabella changed her name to Sojourner Truth and worked with whites and blacks all over the country to abolish slavery. She moved to Battle Creek, Michigan, in 1857 and soon became active there helping blacks escape to freedom on the Underground Railroad. She never learned to read or write, but a white friend helped her tell her life story in Narrative of Sojourner Truth, which sold widely to readers throughout the North.\n\nIn her speeches, Sojourner Truth captivated audiences by revealing how cruel slavery could be. A convert to Christianity, she\n\ntaught a message of freedom for blacks mingled with forgiveness\u2014not hatred or violence\u2014toward whites. Frederick Douglass, the famous ex-slave, praised her as \"honest, industrious, and amiable\" as well as \"remarkable\" for her \"independence and courageous self-assertion.\" Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of Uncle Tom\u2019s Cabin, called Sojourner a \"shrewd\" woman with more \"personal presence\" than anyone she had ever known. During the Civil War, Sojourner even had a cordial meeting with President Abraham Lincoln: She called him a \"Daniel in the lions\u2019 den\" fighting to secure liberty and justice for all citizens.\n\nWhen the Civil War ended, and slavery with it, Sojourner Truth moved to Washington, D.C. for three years to join the Freedmen\u2019s Bureau, which was created to help blacks adjust to and protect their new freedoms. She protested segregation\u2014especially old laws that kept blacks from riding streetcars. She was influential in changing those laws to integrate the streetcars in the nation\u2019s capital before moving back to Battle Creek.\n\nSojourner insisted that blacks use their freedom in responsible ways. She stressed the need for blacks to be industrious and prove their value to society. In a speech at a temporary relief camp, she criticized those blacks who were living \"off the government.\" \"Get off the government and take care of [your]selves\" she urged them. She was especially critical of those blacks who one week would take charity boxes of clothes, sent by Northern whites to Washington, and then the next week would return to \"grab\" more. Such behavior, she insisted, made blacks \"worse off . . . than in slavery.\"\n\nSojourner Truth helped pave the way for Booker T. Washington, who practiced what she preached and started Tuskegee Institute in Alabama to help blacks develop their skills for America\u2019s industrial society. The opportunities that freedom brings, not special privileges or government handouts, were what she wanted for blacks after the Civil War.\n\nThe life of Sojourner Truth\u2014from slave, to author, to acclaimed public speaker, to defender of liberty with responsibility\u2014was truly a sojourn to find the truth. And in the process she joined with whites and other blacks to make America a freer country for all citizens.\n\nBattle Creek citizen Sojourner Truth made a journey from slave to defender of liberty and became one of freedom's most effective champions. Her message of self-reliance and cooperation between whites and blacks has helped make America freer for all citizens.\n\nAlso Available As<|endoftext|>Mr Kenny and the Hicks family's American lawyer, Michael Ratner, are trying to get access to Mr Hicks before he faces a planned military tribunal.<|endoftext|>Monster Hunter Tri Multiplayer Preview\n\nGetting by with a little help from your friends.\n\nTangling with giant beasts in Monster Hunter online serves a number of purposes. First, and probably most importantly, it can be a lot of fun. Second, it gets you nice items you can use later on to build new weapons and armor. Third, it's a lot easier to kill a boss with four players running around instead as opposed to offline play where it's just you and an AI companion named Cha-Cha. And fourth, it can be a cool social experience, giving you a sense of satisfaction gained through proper teamwork, planning, and execution. While you can play Monster Hunter Tri as a single-player game, its online setup allows for four to join together and kill stuff. Some bosses you simply can't face if you're playing offline, so if you want to see everything the game has to offer, you'll want to hook up your Wii online and hunt with other players. Before reading this, if you aren't familiar with the franchise, you might also want to check out our previous Monster Hunter Tri coverage that talks about the basics of the game.\n\nTo actually meet up with others, you'll need to take a few steps. When loading up the game, you're given two options. You can enter the Village, which serves as the quest and vendor hub for all your single-player missions, or you can check out the City, which is the entry point for the online mode. The nice thing is your character progress is global, so if you've spent 50 hours building up your offline character, you can just bring them into the City and still have access to all the same gear and items. Then whatever new items and money you pick up while playing online can be brought back into the single player game.\n\nWhen you actually load into the City, you'll find there's quite a bit to do. As far as the process goes, you'll need to pick a server when first loading in, at which point you're dropped down in an area called a City Gate. Here you'll find a number of NPCs who can give you some helpful information regarding what to do. Perhaps most importantly you'll find a large bulletin board that you can use to find a specific City you want load into. The City is actually just another word for the party you want to join, which has an upper limit of four players. If you're just starting out and don't have anyone on your in-game friends list, then you can customize your search for cities to join based on a number of labels. These labels can be 'Casual play', 'Rare Material Search', 'Earning Money', 'Just a Quest or Two', and 'Everyone Welcome', among others. This can help direct you to the newbie friendly areas if you're not really sure what's going on.\n\nTeaming up to take down a giant fish.\n\nIf you don't feel like joining any of those Cities or just want to head into one by yourself, you can go ahead and create one and assign your own label. You'll then load into the City, where you'll find a whole bunch of NPC vendors and quest givers that offer a variety of services, many of which differ from those in the single-player Village. The first thing you'll want to do is head over to the Guild desk where you can register yourself as a hunter. You can then access the quest list, which has more quests than the offline version, and also more challenging ones. The online portion isn't meant to be a training mode, so if you really don't know what you're doing, it's best to spend a while playing solo offline before heading in here. For instance, you can hunt a Qurupeco and Royal Ludroth in the first rank of quests online, whereas offline those quests don't open up until later on.\n\nThese challenges are meant to be taken on as a team, and if you're in a City with others, you'll see them walking around the vendor area. If you run up and select the other players, you can send along a friend request, send private messages, or use an in-game keyboard interface to type out what you want to say into a general chat window seen by the whole four person party. If you're wondering whether or not you need to know everyone's friend code to get a game going, don't worry. This uses a totally different system for online social interaction specific to Monster Hunter. I was able to just jump into a game without anyone on my friends list at all. You can always request people join your friends list, but it's not required to get into a party. You're free to browse the City list and join whichever one you", "base_doc": " helped blacks escape to freedom on the Underground Railroad after moving to Battle Creek in 1857.\n\nFebruary is Black History Month\u2014an occasion to single out and honor black citizens who have made lasting and positive contributions to American society.

More lessons of this kind would come quickly. In 1827, New York abolished slavery, but John Dumont sold Isabella\u2019s son Peter to a family in Alabama. When Isabella protested this sale, two white lawyers in New York gave her free legal help and liberated Peter through the courts.\n\nIsabella became fascinated by the notion that black and white could work together to fulfill the goals of the Declaration of Independence\u2014the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all Americans. In her middle age, Isabella changed her name to Sojourner Truth and worked with whites and blacks all over the country to abolish slavery. She moved to Battle Creek, Michigan, in 1857 and soon became active there helping blacks escape to freedom on the Underground Railroad. She never learned to read or write, but a white friend helped her tell her life story in Narrative of Sojourner Truth, which sold widely to readers throughout the North.\n\nIn her speeches, Sojourner Truth captivated audiences by revealing how cruel slavery could be. A convert to Christianity, she\n\ntaught a message of freedom for blacks mingled with forgiveness\u2014not hatred or violence\u2014toward whites. Frederick Douglass, the famous ex-slave, praised her as \"honest, industrious, and amiable\" as well as \"remarkable\" for her \"independence and courageous self-assertion.\" Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of Uncle Tom\u2019s Cabin, called Sojourner a \"shrewd\" woman with more \"personal presence\" than anyone she had ever known. During the Civil War, Sojourner even had a cordial meeting with President Abraham Lincoln: She called him a \"Daniel in the lions\u2019 den\" fighting to secure liberty and justice for all citizens.\n\nWhen the Civil War ended, and slavery with it, Sojourner Truth moved to Washington, D.C. for three years to join the Freedmen\u2019s Bureau, which was created to help blacks adjust to and protect their new freedoms. She protested segregation\u2014especially old laws that kept blacks from riding streetcars. She was influential in changing those laws to integrate the streetcars in the nation\u2019s capital before moving back to Battle Creek.\n\nSojourner insisted that blacks use their freedom in responsible ways. She stressed the need for blacks to be industrious and prove their value to society. In a speech at a temporary relief camp, she criticized those blacks who were living \"off the government.\" \"Get off the government and take care of [your]selves\" she urged them. She was especially critical of those blacks who one week would take charity boxes of clothes, sent by Northern whites to Washington, and then the next week would return to \"grab\" more. Such behavior, she insisted, made blacks \"worse off . . . than in slavery.\"\n\nSojourner Truth helped pave the way for Booker T. Washington, who practiced what she preached and started Tuskegee Institute in Alabama to help blacks develop their skills for America\u2019s industrial society. The opportunities that freedom brings, not special privileges or government handouts, were what she wanted for blacks after the Civil War.\n\nThe life of Sojourner Truth\u2014from slave, to author, to acclaimed public speaker, to defender of liberty with responsibility\u2014was truly a sojourn to find the truth. And in the process she joined with whites and other blacks to make America a freer country for all citizens.\n\nBattle Creek citizen Sojourner Truth made a journey from slave to defender of liberty and became one of freedom's most effective champions. Her message of self-reliance and cooperation between whites and blacks has helped make America freer for all citizens.\n\nAlso Available As<|endoftext|>Monster Hunter Tri Multiplayer Preview\n\nGetting by with a little help from your friends.\n\nTangling with giant beasts in Monster Hunter online serves a number of purposes. First, and probably most importantly, it can be a lot of fun. Second, it gets you nice items you can use later on to build new weapons and armor. Third, it's a lot easier to kill a boss with four players running around instead as opposed to offline play where it's just you and an AI companion named Cha-Cha. And fourth, it can be a cool social experience, giving you a sense of satisfaction gained through proper teamwork, planning, and execution. While you can play Monster Hunter Tri as a single-player game, its online setup allows for four to join together and kill stuff. Some bosses you simply can't face if you're playing offline, so if you want to see everything the game has to offer, you'll want to hook up your Wii online and hunt with other players. Before reading this, if you aren't familiar with the franchise, you might also want to check out our previous Monster Hunter Tri coverage that talks about the basics of the game.\n\nTo actually meet up with others, you'll need to take a few steps. When loading up the game, you're given two options. You can enter the Village, which serves as the quest and vendor hub for all your single-player missions, or you can check out the City, which is the entry point for the online mode. The nice thing is your character progress is global, so if you've spent 50 hours building up your offline character, you can just bring them into the City and still have access to all the same gear and items. Then whatever new items and money you pick up while playing online can be brought back into the single player game.\n\nWhen you actually load into the City, you'll find there's quite a bit to do. As far as the process goes, you'll need to pick a server when first loading in, at which point you're dropped down in an area called a City Gate. Here you'll find a number of NPCs who can give you some helpful information regarding what to do. Perhaps most importantly you'll find a large bulletin board that you can use to find a specific City you want load into. The City is actually just another word for the party you want to join, which has an upper limit of four players. If you're just starting out and don't have anyone on your in-game friends list, then you can customize your search for cities to join based on a number of labels. These labels can be 'Casual play', 'Rare Material Search', 'Earning Money', 'Just a Quest or Two', and 'Everyone Welcome', among others. This can help direct you to the newbie friendly areas if you're not really sure what's going on.\n\nTeaming up to take down a giant fish.\n\nIf you don't feel like joining any of those Cities or just want to head into one by yourself, you can go ahead and create one and assign your own label. You'll then load into the City, where you'll find a whole bunch of NPC vendors and quest givers that offer a variety of services, many of which differ from those in the single-player Village. The first thing you'll want to do is head over to the Guild desk where you can register yourself as a hunter. You can then access the quest list, which has more quests than the offline version, and also more challenging ones. The online portion isn't meant to be a training mode, so if you really don't know what you're doing, it's best to spend a while playing solo offline before heading in here. For instance, you can hunt a Qurupeco and Royal Ludroth in the first rank of quests online, whereas offline those quests don't open up until later on.\n\nThese challenges are meant to be taken on as a team, and if you're in a City with others, you'll see them walking around the vendor area. If you run up and select the other players, you can send along a friend request, send private messages, or use an in-game keyboard interface to type out what you want to say into a general chat window seen by the whole four person party. If you're wondering whether or not you need to know everyone's friend code to get a game going, don't worry. This uses a totally different system for online social interaction specific to Monster Hunter. I was able to just jump into a game without anyone on my friends list at all. You can always request people join your friends list, but it's not required to get into a party. You're free to browse the City list and join whichever one you like.

-{"pt_doc": "As part of his deal, Mr. Delainey has agreed to cooperate in the continuing investigation.<|endoftext|> state power. That\u2019s why we have to have a political party that does not maintain its existence by giving handies to rich fucks and is committed to doing what is necessary. We could, in theory, start a new party for this or use the Greens or whatever, but the entrenchment of the two major parties presents huge obstacles against doing so. There\u2019s no inherent property of the Democratic Party that causes it to operate in the way that it does; the parties have modified their alignments in response to changing conditions before and they can be made to do so again. We\u2019re also out of fucking time, and taking over existing infrastructure is a hell of a lot faster than building it up from scratch. Thus, the best available solution is to hollow out the existing leadership of the Democratic Party and replace it with people who don\u2019t care about rich fucks and are only accountable to its base of voters.\n\nThe obstacle to doing this is not some kind of shadowy conspiracy or whatever. It\u2019s the structure within which politicians operate. Rich donors provide basically all of the resources politicians require in order to run viable campaigns. (Again, rich fucks have so much unnecessary wealth that they can just straight up piss millions of dollars away on fucking political ads for the sake of slightly lowering tax rates that they were probably just going to evade anyway.) If you want to run for office as a Democrat, the DCCC will literally go through the contracts on your phone to see if you know enough rich fucks to be considered a real candidate, after which you will be expected to spend most of your time calling them up and schmoozing them for money. This dynamic has two equally important effects. First, because your existence as a politician is materially dependent on the largesse of your donors, you will be systemically disinclined to do anything they won\u2019t like. If you were to try anyway, you would most likely be cut off and replaced with someone more pliable. Second, because you\u2019re spending all of your time talking to rich fucks and hearing about their problems and their perspectives on things, you\u2019re naturally going to come to understand issues in the way that they do and conceive of the same sorts of solutions that they would. Not only would you not be able to support nationalizing the energy companies, the idea would never occur to you in the first place.\n\nThis, then, is the true significance of Sanders\u2019 small-donor fundraising operation. It is not that taking money from poorer people is more virtuous \u2013 in fact, it\u2019s less, since you\u2019re taking money from people who actually need it. Rather, it matters because it means that the Sanders campaign, and any campaign that follows the same model, does not talk to rich fucks, is not materially dependent on them, and does not take their interests into account when formulating policy. It is dependent on the approval of large numbers of ordinary people, which means it is only viable to the extent that it advances policies that people actually want.\n\nOf course, the correct solution to this problem is for all elections to be publicly funded, so that this isn\u2019t an issue in the first place. But that can\u2019t happen right now precisely because rich fucks have already captured the process and they obviously won\u2019t permit that sort of change. Thus, the only way to change things is from outside of the existing system: mass public pressure must be brought to bear on all politicians, such that those who remain on the side of rich fucks are either run out of town on a rail or have the fear of god put into them so that they vote correctly anyway. Doing this is explicitly the entire purpose of the Sanders campaign. It\u2019s not just something he\u2019s coincidentally adjacent towards; it\u2019s specifically what he\u2019s referring to when he talks about starting a \u201cpolitical revolution\u201d and being the \u201corganizer-in-chief.\u201d\n\nThis is also the meaningful distinction between Sanders and Warren. Again, this is a lot simpler than people are making it out to be. Warren, as a smart person who was not always a politician, does have a decent understanding of what needs to be done to fix things. But she explicitly intends to work within the existing system to convince the current party elites to adopt better policies. She has in fact had some success with this, such as when she convinced the Obama administration, against its usual inclinations, to create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. But we\u2019ve already seen how this strategy can easily be undone by adverse events and fails to penetrate to the underlying causes of the political dysfunction that makes it necessary. Warren could potentially be extremely effective as like Secretary of the Treasury or something, but her \u201cplan for that\u201d approach to politics simply will not work under current conditions.\n\nSanders, by contrast, is trying to change how things work such that it becomes possible for good plans to happen. You can see this distinction when, for example, Warren talks about abolishing the filibuster, while Sanders talks about enfranchising prisoners. Warren wants to change the rules so that the existing political establishment can more easily achieve its desired goals, while Sanders wants to fundamentally redistribute political power so as to change what those goals are. The reason Sanders is sometimes criticized for not having enough of a \u201cplan\u201d is because he realizes exact details of that sort are presently beside the point. As long as the Democratic Party itself is not willing to pass the sorts of policies that are necessary to address the problems we\u2019re facing, the rules by which they would counterfactually do so are irrelevant. Sanders\u2019 political revolution is a prerequisite to any of Warren\u2019s plans actually being implemented.\n\nThe standard counterargument here is that this line of reasoning is self-defeating: if this is true, then it doesn\u2019t matter who gets elected president, because there has to be a mass movement anyway. This argument is basically correct and also completely stupid. The fact that electing Sanders would constitute only one step in the process and not by itself achieve anything is the entire point. If there were already a mass movement there wouldn\u2019t be a problem in the first place. The fact that there isn\u2019t is why we need some sort of dramatic intervention \u2013 something along the lines of electing someone with an absolute commitment to doing this exact thing to the most powerful and visible political office in the country. And because we have to start addressing global warming yesterday in order to retain some non-trivial percentage of a habitable environment, we need someone who is here right now, and Socialist Jesus isn\u2019t here right now. Sanders is.\n\nI\u2019d like to be clear about how little I want to be making this argument. I don\u2019t \u201clike\u201d Sanders. I don\u2019t even understand what that\u2019s supposed to mean. He\u2019s a politician. Liking or disliking a politician is a category error. They either support policies that will improve people\u2019s material conditions or they don\u2019t. I really thought people understood this back when \u201cGeorge W. Bush seems like the kind of guy I could have a beer with\u201d was a running joke, but it\u2019s only gotten worse since then. It does not fucking matter whether Sanders reminds you of a guy you knew once or someone calls you a name. I can assure you that my hatred for bros, people who spend any amount of time on Twitter, and people who treat politics like sports fandom is uncompromised, but dorks on the internet are just not relevant data, even without taking into account the gravity of the actual situation we\u2019re facing. As long as Sanders is not proposing to appoint Joe Rogan as Secretary of Political Incorrectness, this is just not stuff that matters, at all.\n\nI don\u2019t even think badgering people about how they\u2019re going to vote is all that effective. People aren\u2019t actually responsive to arguments and data; they form their opinions based on underlying ideological assumptions (which is in fact the correct way to do things, as otherwise it is much too difficult to avoid being bamboozled by selective data presentation. You actually would be susceptible to fake news, in that case). In order to change people\u2019s behavior you have to either change their material conditions or change how they understand the world. But again, we absolutely do not have time for that shit. It would be great if we could hang around for 20 years building the ideal political movement with perfectly calibrated messaging that appeals to everyone equally, but if we\u2019re actually trying to make something happen the arc of history is going to have to be a fuck of a lot shorter than that. We either take this chance now or we\u2019re fucked.\n\nSo that\u2019s it. I really am constitutionally opposed to telling people what to do, but in this case it actually is required of you as an individual that you go to the place and vote for the thing. Unless, of course, you\u2019re some sort of purity-obsessed idealist who won\u2019t vote for an imperfect solution to a real pressing problem, but I can\u2019t imagine that\u2019s the case.<|endoftext|>1.

Surely if they were, more born again Christians who are Hebrew and Greek scholars would have caught onto this and would have broken the conspiracy. In other words, we'd expect more Christian Hebrew and Greek scholars to be KJV onlylists.\n\nDr. James White has some great material on refuting KJV onlyism, so to dig into this subject in more detail, I suggest checking out his work. He's even got a book on the topic.\u00a0\n\nAnother Example: Jared had only talked to 2 Molinists before. Both of them did not believe that God wanted everyone saved or that Jesus died for the whole world. He rejected Molinism because He believed God did want all people saved and Jesus did die for the whole world.\n\nThis scenario is a little more unlikely since the majority of Molinists that I've met affirm UNlimited atonement. However, there are Molinists out there who affirm limited atonement, and so I can imagine someone somewhere believing that Molinism and limited atonement go hand in hand, and so rejects Molinism on that basis. His mistake is, again, taking a small sample size and quickly making a conclusion based on that sample size. Because the Molinists he talked to denied unlimited atonement, he believed that to be a Molinist, he would have to deny unlimited atonement too. Since he could not do that because The Bible contradicts it, he rejected Molinism.\n\nHad Jared not been so hasty and researched Molinism more in depth, he would have found out that Molinism is at its bare minimum, a view of divine sovereignty and human free will. It tries to reconcile God's meticulous providence of history with libertarian free will. Soteriologically, one can be Arminian or Calvinist.\n\nSoteriologically, there's a spectrum on which Molinists can fall. There are those on the Arminian side of the spectrum, and then there are those on the Calvinist side of the spectrum. On the Arminian side of the spectrum you have people like me and William Lane Craig of Reasonable Faith, and on the Calvinist side of the spectrum, you have people like Richard Bushey of ThereforeGodExists.com. Both Richard and I are Molinists, butwe differ on things such as who God wants saved, who Jesus died for, whether grace is resistible or irresistible, and whether salvation can be lost or whether the loss of it is impossible. I side with the Arminians on all of these issues while he sides with the Calvinists\n\nYou see, Molinism transcends the Arminian/Calvin debate as Richard Bushey pointed out in his article \u201cWhat Is Reformed Molinism?\u201d and as I pointed out in \"Molinism and Its Relation To Soteriology\". Molinism is basically just a view of divine providence and human freedom. Any soteriological belief you want to insert into your Molinist view is up to you.\n\n\nAn exception can be made when a larger sample size isn't available. Sometimes a small sample size is all you have to work with. An example of this is if you and a friend are walking through the desert and your friend gets bitten and dies right after that. In this case, it wouldn't be fallacious to assume that the snake is venomous. While it's possible your friend could have died from some other cause and it just so happened to occur right after a non-venomous snake bit him ((he may have had a heart attack, a stroke, or an aneurysm, or some other cause)), it's too much of a coincidence for inferring that.

Surely if they were, more born again Christians who are Hebrew and Greek scholars would have caught onto this and would have broken the conspiracy. In other words, we'd expect more Christian Hebrew and Greek scholars to be KJV onlylists.\n\nDr. James White has some great material on refuting KJV onlyism, so to dig into this subject in more detail, I suggest checking out his work. He's even got a book on the topic.\u00a0\n\nAnother Example: Jared had only talked to 2 Molinists before. Both of them did not believe that God wanted everyone saved or that Jesus died for the whole world. He rejected Molinism because He believed God did want all people saved and Jesus did die for the whole world.\n\nThis scenario is a little more unlikely since the majority of Molinists that I've met affirm UNlimited atonement. However, there are Molinists out there who affirm limited atonement, and so I can imagine someone somewhere believing that Molinism and limited atonement go hand in hand, and so rejects Molinism on that basis. His mistake is, again, taking a small sample size and quickly making a conclusion based on that sample size. Because the Molinists he talked to denied unlimited atonement, he believed that to be a Molinist, he would have to deny unlimited atonement too. Since he could not do that because The Bible contradicts it, he rejected Molinism.\n\nHad Jared not been so hasty and researched Molinism more in depth, he would have found out that Molinism is at its bare minimum, a view of divine sovereignty and human free will. It tries to reconcile God's meticulous providence of history with libertarian free will. Soteriologically, one can be Arminian or Calvinist.\n\nSoteriologically, there's a spectrum on which Molinists can fall. There are those on the Arminian side of the spectrum, and then there are those on the Calvinist side of the spectrum. On the Arminian side of the spectrum you have people like me and William Lane Craig of Reasonable Faith, and on the Calvinist side of the spectrum, you have people like Richard Bushey of ThereforeGodExists.com. Both Richard and I are Molinists, butwe differ on things such as who God wants saved, who Jesus died for, whether grace is resistible or irresistible, and whether salvation can be lost or whether the loss of it is impossible. I side with the Arminians on all of these issues while he sides with the Calvinists\n\nYou see, Molinism transcends the Arminian/Calvin debate as Richard Bushey pointed out in his article \u201cWhat Is Reformed Molinism?\u201d and as I pointed out in \"Molinism and Its Relation To Soteriology\". Molinism is basically just a view of divine providence and human freedom. Any soteriological belief you want to insert into your Molinist view is up to you.\n\n\nAn exception can be made when a larger sample size isn't available. Sometimes a small sample size is all you have to work with. An example of this is if you and a friend are walking through the desert and your friend gets bitten and dies right after that. In this case, it wouldn't be fallacious to assume that the snake is venomous. While it's possible your friend could have died from some other cause and it just so happened to occur right after a non-venomous snake bit him ((he may have had a heart attack, a stroke, or an aneurysm, or some other cause)), it's too much of a coincidence for inferring that.

On one hand, these are the same people who want to get the tax repealed, and we don\u2019t have hard numbers yet, so take this with a grain of salt. On the other hand, the whole point of the tax is to reduce consumption of stuff that will kill you anyway, so \u2026 good job?\nTo measure the responsiveness of consumers to price changes, economist use what is called the 'price elasticity of demand.' In simple terms, the price elasticity of demand tells us whether consumers react a little or a lot when the price of a good changes. \u00a0\nIn technical terms, the price elasticity of demand is equal to the percentage change in the quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in the price. \u00a0Because of the law of demand we know that the quantity demanded and the price will move in opposite directions, so the elasticity demand is a negative number. \u00a0To confuse everyone, we report the price elasticity of demand as a positive number (the absolute value). \u00a0\nIf the price elasticity of demand is greater than 1, then we say that demand is elastic and that means that consumers are pretty sensitive to price changes.\u00a0\nIf the price elasticity of demand in greater than one, then we say that demand in unit elastic (the percentage change in the quantity demanded is exactly equal to the percentage change in the price).\nIf the price elasticity of demand is less than one, then demand is price inelastic and that means that consumers are not very sensitive to price changes. \u00a0\nOne reason we care about the price elasticity of demand is because there is a relationship between price elasticities and revenues collected. \u00a0If demand is inelastic, an increase in the price will increase revenues. \u00a0If demand is elastic, a similar percentage increase in the price will decrease revenues. \u00a0The reverse is also true.\nThis is why we see goods with elastic demand (furniture, groceries, clothing) going on sale more than goods with inelastic demand (gas, liquor).\nSo what does this mean for the sugary drink example above?\nLet's look at the numbers (and make some assumptions). \u00a0The tax imposed on sugary drinks is $0.015 per ounce. \u00a0For a 12 ounce soda (pop?) that's an increase in the price of $0.18. \u00a0To make the math easy let's say a 12 ounce soda costs $0.50 ($3.00 a six pack?) before the tax. \u00a0An $0.18 increase in the price is a 36% increase in the price. \u00a0That's pretty big.\nHow much does the quantity demanded react. \u00a0If grocery stores are to be believed, the quantity demanded fell between 30% and 50% in reaction to the tax increase. \u00a0That means the elasticity of demand is between 0.83 (30/36) and 1.39 (50/36). \u00a0\nSo it looks like demand is slightly inelastic to elastic.\nNow we can ask question like: \u00a0\n \u2022 If the goal is to raise tax revenues, will an increase in the tax increase, or decrease tax revenues?\n \u2022 Tax revenues will increase if demand is inelastic and decrease if demand is elastic.\n \u2022 If the goal is to decrease sugar consumption, how effective will an increase in the sugar tax be?\n \u2022 It looks like consumers might be price sensitive, so an increase in the tax might be pretty effective at reducing sugary drink consumption\n\n(Keep in mind that elasticity is a numerical measure of responsiveness i.e one, usually is interested in finding how responsive is A to a change in B. Ex. What is the change in the grade if one is to increase study hours?)\n\n\nLindsay Brewster said...\n\nI actually learned in one of my classes earlier today that during the recession, sales of pepsi actually increased. This makes me not shocked that sugary drinks are slightly inelastic because clearly people will spend the money on them no matter how expensive it is to them. This could be because there are some American's who I think are definitely slightly addicted to sugary drinks, or even sugar in general. Its also roughly the same price to buy a bottle of soda as it is a bottle of water, and therefore most people would probably buy what taste they prefer, which for a lot of people is soda, or a sweet drink.\n\nMarc Rinosa said...\n\nI think that the economic theory surrounding this decision is really interesting, as it allows us to both analyze and understand the implications of a tax increase/decrease on the demand of a certain product. But what I question, and what Lindsay touches upon, is how the various externalities of beverage consumption impact the demand of a product far beyond its elasticity.\n\nThe pricing structure surrounding the demand of unhealthy products should also be taking into consideration government policy proposals. When Bloomberg for example banned extremely large drink cups, consumers have the option of shifting to the next big thing.\n\nWe could also argue that soda is an inferior good, and that they are responsive to price changes for the simple fact that with a greater increase an income, consumption decreases. But we could also argue that soda can be insensitive to pricing changes because of how highly consumed they are. Data suggests that because of the drive toward healthier choices, demand for soda has been decreasing -- this has led to the creation of different products within company portfolios, such as Coke's creation of alternatively-sweetened Coke product called Coca-Cola Life.\n\nBrielle Manzolillo said...\n\nTaxation is often used as an incentive. In this case, the incentive of the tax is to get people to not buy unhealthy drinks. This is probably due to the fact that the United States has an issue with obesity. A similar incentive tax I have heard about is a tax on meat products in Sweden in an effort to be more environmentally friendly. I do not think that taxation incentives are necessarily a bad thing since they often have a positive goal. However, the question is if these taxation incentives will work. This completely depends on if the demand for soda is inelastic or elastic. If people are not sensitive to a price change in soda and will continue to buy the product regardless, then this taxation will not accomplish the goal of limiting sugar intake. This same issue happens with cigarettes. As price rises on cigarettes, one would think people would limit the amount they smoke. However, since people are addicting, they will pay any price for cigarettes. This benefits the cigarette companies but hurts the health of the public. So if people are addicted enough to these sugary drinks, the health of the public will suffer but the soda companies will prosper.\n\n-Brielle Manzolillo\n\nAustin Provancher said...\n\nI think", "base_doc": " are?

In simple terms, the price elasticity of demand tells us whether consumers react a little or a lot when the price of a good changes. \u00a0\nIn technical terms, the price elasticity of demand is equal to the percentage change in the quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in the price. \u00a0Because of the law of demand we know that the quantity demanded and the price will move in opposite directions, so the elasticity demand is a negative number. \u00a0To confuse everyone, we report the price elasticity of demand as a positive number (the absolute value). \u00a0\nIf the price elasticity of demand is greater than 1, then we say that demand is elastic and that means that consumers are pretty sensitive to price changes.\u00a0\nIf the price elasticity of demand in greater than one, then we say that demand in unit elastic (the percentage change in the quantity demanded is exactly equal to the percentage change in the price).\nIf the price elasticity of demand is less than one, then demand is price inelastic and that means that consumers are not very sensitive to price changes. \u00a0\nOne reason we care about the price elasticity of demand is because there is a relationship between price elasticities and revenues collected. \u00a0If demand is inelastic, an increase in the price will increase revenues. \u00a0If demand is elastic, a similar percentage increase in the price will decrease revenues. \u00a0The reverse is also true.\nThis is why we see goods with elastic demand (furniture, groceries, clothing) going on sale more than goods with inelastic demand (gas, liquor).\nSo what does this mean for the sugary drink example above?\nLet's look at the numbers (and make some assumptions). \u00a0The tax imposed on sugary drinks is $0.015 per ounce. \u00a0For a 12 ounce soda (pop?) that's an increase in the price of $0.18. \u00a0To make the math easy let's say a 12 ounce soda costs $0.50 ($3.00 a six pack?) before the tax. \u00a0An $0.18 increase in the price is a 36% increase in the price. \u00a0That's pretty big.\nHow much does the quantity demanded react. \u00a0If grocery stores are to be believed, the quantity demanded fell between 30% and 50% in reaction to the tax increase. \u00a0That means the elasticity of demand is between 0.83 (30/36) and 1.39 (50/36). \u00a0\nSo it looks like demand is slightly inelastic to elastic.\nNow we can ask question like: \u00a0\n \u2022 If the goal is to raise tax revenues, will an increase in the tax increase, or decrease tax revenues?\n \u2022 Tax revenues will increase if demand is inelastic and decrease if demand is elastic.\n \u2022 If the goal is to decrease sugar consumption, how effective will an increase in the sugar tax be?\n \u2022 It looks like consumers might be price sensitive, so an increase in the tax might be pretty effective at reducing sugary drink consumption\n\n(Keep in mind that elasticity is a numerical measure of responsiveness i.e one, usually is interested in finding how responsive is A to a change in B. Ex. What is the change in the grade if one is to increase study hours?)\n\n\nLindsay Brewster said...\n\nI actually learned in one of my classes earlier today that during the recession, sales of pepsi actually increased. This makes me not shocked that sugary drinks are slightly inelastic because clearly people will spend the money on them no matter how expensive it is to them. This could be because there are some American's who I think are definitely slightly addicted to sugary drinks, or even sugar in general. Its also roughly the same price to buy a bottle of soda as it is a bottle of water, and therefore most people would probably buy what taste they prefer, which for a lot of people is soda, or a sweet drink.\n\nMarc Rinosa said...\n\nI think that the economic theory surrounding this decision is really interesting, as it allows us to both analyze and understand the implications of a tax increase/decrease on the demand of a certain product. But what I question, and what Lindsay touches upon, is how the various externalities of beverage consumption impact the demand of a product far beyond its elasticity.\n\nThe pricing structure surrounding the demand of unhealthy products should also be taking into consideration government policy proposals. When Bloomberg for example banned extremely large drink cups, consumers have the option of shifting to the next big thing.\n\nWe could also argue that soda is an inferior good, and that they are responsive to price changes for the simple fact that with a greater increase an income, consumption decreases. But we could also argue that soda can be insensitive to pricing changes because of how highly consumed they are. Data suggests that because of the drive toward healthier choices, demand for soda has been decreasing -- this has led to the creation of different products within company portfolios, such as Coke's creation of alternatively-sweetened Coke product called Coca-Cola Life.\n\nBrielle Manzolillo said...\n\nTaxation is often used as an incentive. In this case, the incentive of the tax is to get people to not buy unhealthy drinks. This is probably due to the fact that the United States has an issue with obesity. A similar incentive tax I have heard about is a tax on meat products in Sweden in an effort to be more environmentally friendly. I do not think that taxation incentives are necessarily a bad thing since they often have a positive goal. However, the question is if these taxation incentives will work. This completely depends on if the demand for soda is inelastic or elastic. If people are not sensitive to a price change in soda and will continue to buy the product regardless, then this taxation will not accomplish the goal of limiting sugar intake. This same issue happens with cigarettes. As price rises on cigarettes, one would think people would limit the amount they smoke. However, since people are addicting, they will pay any price for cigarettes. This benefits the cigarette companies but hurts the health of the public. So if people are addicted enough to these sugary drinks, the health of the public will suffer but the soda companies will prosper.\n\n-Brielle Manzolillo\n\nAustin Provancher said...\n\nI think the price elasticity theory is a ideal notion that correlates with products and how the demand changes when prices change.

Find an intention for your week. For those of you who have done this before, in a class or a group, you may have held an intention for yourself for an hour or maybe a whole day. This is one you will carry with you all week.\nTo define, an \"intention\" in this case would be something you are needing for yourself. Something that calms or balances or inspires you. This is only about YOUR intention.\nSome examples may be courage, strength, balance, calm, peace, love, joy, laughter, pride, wisdom, clarity, etc.\n\n2. Once you have decided on your intention, everyday M-F write it somewhere. You can write it on the back of an envelope, on a piece of napkin, your arm, the mirror - anywhere.\n\n3. Finally, find a way to \"image\" where you wrote your intention. If you wrote on a tiny pieces of paper, you could collect those and take a picture of them. If you write on fleeting materials, then photograph where you wrote each day. If you simply make a list on the same pad of paper, take a picture of the list at the end of the week.\n\nAll of these photos of Intentions can be found here and here, if you want a closer look.\nLet's see what everyone came up with...\n\nTuesday, March 10, 2009\n\nTiny Benevolent Changes, XIII\n\nFilling in the Form:\n\n1.

Then we tried to make him one out of a clothes hanger. He totally bought it for about 13 minutes.\nIt even matched his armor! And his glove!\n\nThen he decided that wire masks were for 3 year olds and that his would better fit Svea. Then he asked Brian to look up on the computer a better one for him (!?!?!?!?!!).\n\nHe counted the days until it arrived, then wrote the mail carrier a Thank You note for bringing it to our house.

That salad had cream cheese, olives, celery, cherries and some other treats all packed inside...I tried it, but don't think I'll be eating that again...Thanks, Jennie, for the experience!\n\nI think overall, Aviva had a great time:\n\nWhen the Football Players Break for Lunch, the Power Ranger will Rest\n\nAnd the Tow Maters and Lightning McQueens will line up and wait and the Etch-A-Sketch will stand guard.\nNever a dull moment around here...\n\n(The blocks are new - Brian made them for Henry for his birthday out of scraps from the shop.

Find an intention for your week. For those of you who have done this before, in a class or a group, you may have held an intention for yourself for an hour or maybe a whole day. This is one you will carry with you all week.\nTo define, an \"intention\" in this case would be something you are needing for yourself. Something that calms or balances or inspires you. This is only about YOUR intention.\nSome examples may be courage, strength, balance, calm, peace, love, joy, laughter, pride, wisdom, clarity, etc.\n\n2. Once you have decided on your intention, everyday M-F write it somewhere. You can write it on the back of an envelope, on a piece of napkin, your arm, the mirror - anywhere.\n\n3. Finally, find a way to \"image\" where you wrote your intention. If you wrote on a tiny pieces of paper, you could collect those and take a picture of them. If you write on fleeting materials, then photograph where you wrote each day. If you simply make a list on the same pad of paper, take a picture of the list at the end of the week.\n\nAll of these photos of Intentions can be found here and here, if you want a closer look.\nLet's see what everyone came up with...\n\nTuesday, March 10, 2009\n\nTiny Benevolent Changes, XIII\n\nFilling in the Form:\n\n1.

The initial idea was to have pairs of web servers, pairs of mail servers, and pairs or triplets of db servers, all behind a load balancer.\n\n The tutorials use lsyncd+unison. I have set this up a few times, and although it worked conceptually, it died when it came to real work. Uploading a website of 1500 files took 3 hours to replicate to the other web server. This is just not acceptable.\n\n I eventually found csync2, and using csync2+lsyncd, managed to get this implemented instead. Now my 1500 file website replicated within 7 seconds. This is good.\n\n I'm now moving on to the database part. The tutorials use MySQL master-master replication, but this is buggy as hell. I'm trying to build a business-grade setup, and cannot afford to have any outages or sync issues.\n\n There's also tungsten, but from what I've read, it seems to also have sync issues. Galera seems like a good idea as it does multi-master synchronous replication, but requires a triplet setup to avoid split-brain.\n\n Has anyone actually managed to get a HA solution in production using ISPConfig?\n\n I'm pulling the little hair I have left out with this endeavour.\n\n All feedback and ideas welcome.\n\n Thanks in advance,\n 2. till\n\n till Super Moderator Staff Member ISPConfig Developer\n\n Several of our clients use the setup that i described here in production:\n\n\n I did not encounter such long sync times with unsion that you described.

If a server dies because of apache or mysql runninng amok due to high load, this load will be sent to the mirror. If the mirror has the same code and config, it will obviously die immidiately as it now has twice the load of the server that went down in the first place.\n\n If your cloud takes a while to re-provision a server from failed hardware to a new node, then an HA cluster may be worth looking into. Otherwise, I say no.\n\n In our 12 years of selling hosting on dedicated machinery, we've had 2 hardware failure that impacted customers. We've had dozens of outages due to load and bad coding. (of course customers don't care much about the quality of their code, and don't want to pay anyone to fix it - they just expect hosting to work flawlessly all the time).\n\n We're now looking at a new configuration which has a cluster of single service servers (multiple web, mail, and DB servers), and a cache front-end in an HA configuration. This way, if a server fails for any reason, the static parts of the websites on the server would still keep working.\n 5. Mark_NL\n\n Mark_NL New Member\n\n I agree with you on some points, users always think the hardware running on it just runs their code smoothly.\n\n Though ofc it's known that HA (mirrored setup) does not compensate for incompetent customers and load situations. But that wasn't the case here, we where talking about a simpel HA setup (as you described in your initial post)\n\n Anyway, You might want to setup the following (which scales very well):\n\n 2 loadbalancers: keepalived + ipvs (decent machines can handle ~300k packets per second easily, split the load makes ~600k)\n\n Some webservers behind it. (apache and nginx)\n Mysql servers running master-multi slave setup (corosync works very well for this to auto switch master in case of failure)\n\n Mailservers can be put behind the load balancer as well, which works very well. We use it to send out our mailings much faster, since (f.e.) hotmail only accepts X connections per Y seconds from the same IP. This method greatly speeds up the mailing process.\n\n Let nginx send static files directly, forward dynamic content to it apache.\n add 2 memcached servers (use: repcached patch) to sync data and use them as phpsessions data.\n\n ISPConfig is a very nice (FREE!) product. I'd not suggest using this in higher load environments. The main reason is because everything runs on the same box, and what (imho is a design flaw is using mysql for postfix) If your box gets spammed (which will happen when you host a lot of domains), even with RBL's setup, it creates a db connection per mail, which ALSO has influence on the websites that use the same mysql. Increasing max connections helps (sometimes) but is not a fix, it's a work around, which is bad imho.\n\n It's perfect for (f.e.) your companies email and you don't want to be bothered with managing it.

Therefore, society should by all means support the feminist movement in its new protest and help it overcome any difficulties that might prevent feminists from not shaving their tacoes.\n\nJulia said...\n\n\nYou need to read a book, and re-consider how to present yourself to the world because so far you have made yourself look like an ignoramus.\n\nIn order for something to be True it needs to be a justified belief and universally constant and unchanging. All what you have done is state the following belief:\n\n\nWhat evidence do you have that a woman's value is only in her ability to reproduce and shave her pubic hair?\n\nIf you have ever read a history book or educated yourself, you would learn that some of the greatest minds have been women and were capable mentally and biologically to carry out the same tasks as men and even surpass them.\nYour so-called idea of the female's function to reproduce is only a social construct created by men in power, in order to debase women and preserve a male dominated system. You are doing the same thing by trying to ESSENTIALIZE things that arent true, which women have proved wrong. What you are trying to essentialize is that women are incapable of fullfilling any function except for being submissive to a man. If you actually have an hint of awarness or intelligence, you would see that there have been many successful and independant women pursuing occupations and positions of authority and power-- and have been successful at it.

You are doing the same thing by trying to ESSENTIALIZE things that arent true, which women have proved wrong. What you are trying to essentialize is that women are incapable of fullfilling any function except for being submissive to a man.

It had only been a couple of days since she was hospitalized after she was rescued and could not even bring herself to talk. Of course, that was a choice, not the result of the trauma she had endured. Nothing seemed to matter back then. She had hit rock bottom and she could not imagine that she would ever be able to pluck herself out and function again. It did not matter that her burn marks were not going to leave any scars. It did not matter that her wounds were healing nicely. It did not matter that she was going to leave the hospital sooner than anticipated. The nurses\u2019 sympathetic behavior added more fuel to the fire and made her more intent on not talking to anyone at all. They thought it was the trauma that robbed her of her capacity to speak, but it was a choice, plain and simple. Every time a nurse walked into her room to change her bandages or check on her, she would somehow feel compelled to give Lesly a few encouraging words. She would tell Lesly that she was brave for standing strong after going through what she had gone through during those four days in captivity. Even Michaela, her closest friend, did not know how to carry herself around her whenever she paid her a visit. She would feed her the same nonsense that the nurses fed her, and would constantly tell her that she was strong and that she was going to overcome this whole ordeal in no time. No one knew that she was hanging by a thread, and that she found her will to live crumbling with every passing second.\n\nDeath was a comforting thought. Every hour she spent in that bleak hospital room forced her to contemplate the blessings of ceasing to exist. Why was death feared, shunned, avoided when it offered the hope of release? Lesly looked over at the IV drip connected to her arm and wondered if it was at all possible for any drug out there to help her slip into the blessed state of oblivion. The drugs she had received so far certainly helped in numbing the pain of most of the injuries she sustained, but they failed to help her sleep or to get her mind to cease tormenting her. It would have been possible to ask the nurses or Michaela for help, but she did not wish for that request to alert those around her to the fact that she could talk. She did not want anyone to start pressuring her into opening up and sharing those gruelling details one more time. Thankfully, Michaela did one thing right. She did not allow any visitors to see her. That was the only thing that kept her sane during her stay at the hospital.\n\nThe relief of not having to see any visitors at all was short lived when a certain someone walked into her room. It was a woman that Lesly had never seen before in her entire life. The woman was tall, Asian and appeared to be in her early fifties. She looked at Lesly and smiled warmly before she carried the only chair available in the room closer to Lesly\u2019s bed and placed it there. She took a seat next, crossed one leg over the other and introduced herself.\n\n\u201cLesly, my name is Kim. I\u2019m the personal assistant to Victor Lang, the father of the man you tried to save in that burning building. I\u2019m sure you have heard of the Lang family before, Lesly.\u201d\n\nLesly said nothing. She just stared at the woman with an expressionless face.\n\n\u201cJacob, the man you tried to save, was Mr. Lang\u2019s sole son and heir. His loss was extremely devastating for his father. We had no idea at the time who abducted him and why. Requests for ransom were placed, but they always led to a dead end. We were hopeful at first that he would be returned to us, but as time went by, we lost hope entirely. You can imagine, Lesly, how Mr. Lang felt after realizing that Jacob was tortured to death just because he was his son.\u201d\n\nKim was greeted with silence again, but it became obvious to her that Lesly was showing signs of distress over being reminded of that incident.\n\n\u201cI can see that I\u2019m making you uncomfortable. I\u2019m sorry, Lesly. That was never my intention. You see, Mr. Lang wants to make sure that you know how grateful he is for your help. He also wants you to know that he\u2019s deeply sorry you were caught in this mess. Although Jacob died, you made it possible for his father to see him and talk to him before he perished. It was also because of your account of the incident that we managed to track down the people responsible for his murder. We owe you a great debt.\u201d\n\nLesly could still remember how much those words affected her. She did not know why she lost control and began shedding silent tears, but she could remember feeling a hint of relief for the first time since she was rescued. At first, she tried to hide her face from the woman sitting in front of her by covering her eyes with her good arm, the arm that was not broken, but apparently, Kim was not done talking yet. She still had one more important message to deliver and she needed Lesly to listen really well for what she came to say. Kim approached Lesly, sat opposite to her on her bed, and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder before she carried on in that same calming tone of voice.\n\n\u201cLesly dear, I understand that this can be particularly agonizing for you, but I\u2019m going to need to show you something.\u201d\n\nIt took Lesly a while to comply with Kim\u2019s wishes for she needed time to bring her emotions under control. She finally uncovered her eyes, wiped the tears from her cheeks and looked at the woman sitting in front of her. The woman smiled and gave Lesly\u2019s shoulder another reassuring squeeze. She took her phone out of her pocket, and began showing Lesly some of the images that she had stored there.\n\nLesly could not believe her eyes when she saw what Kim had on her phone. She looked at Kim in disbelief and Kim was able to tell that Lesly recognized most of the faces she saw in those pictures. The woman smiled and continued to scroll through the images until she got to one specific picture that almost made Lesly\u2019s stomach turn. Lesly looked at Kim with an expression full of agitation and hoped that Kim would comply and take the phone away, but Kim did no such thing. This led Lesly to push the phone Kim was holding and to look the other way while struggling hard to take deep calming breaths. Kim was not done. Her smile disappeared and was replaced with a sympathetic look.\n\n\u201cIs this the man who assaulted you, Lesly?\u201d she asked in a calming voice.\n\nLesly did not say anything. She just shut her eyes forcefully and hoped that the woman would leave her alone.\n\nKim held Lesly\u2019s hand and gave her a gentle squeeze before she spoke to her again, \u201cYou need to see this. It\u2019s important.\u201d\n\nLesly looked back reluctantly at Kim who showed Lesly a couple of more images of the same man. However, those other images were different from the", "base_doc": " year when the economy returned to growth, but NBER has yet to corroborate that.

She did not know why she lost control and began shedding silent tears, but she could remember feeling a hint of relief for the first time since she was rescued. At first, she tried to hide her face from the woman sitting in front of her by covering her eyes with her good arm, the arm that was not broken, but apparently, Kim was not done talking yet. She still had one more important message to deliver and she needed Lesly to listen really well for what she came to say. Kim approached Lesly, sat opposite to her on her bed, and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder before she carried on in that same calming tone of voice.\n\n\u201cLesly dear, I understand that this can be particularly agonizing for you, but I\u2019m going to need to show you something.\u201d\n\nIt took Lesly a while to comply with Kim\u2019s wishes for she needed time to bring her emotions under control. She finally uncovered her eyes, wiped the tears from her cheeks and looked at the woman sitting in front of her. The woman smiled and gave Lesly\u2019s shoulder another reassuring squeeze. She took her phone out of her pocket, and began showing Lesly some of the images that she had stored there.\n\nLesly could not believe her eyes when she saw what Kim had on her phone. She looked at Kim in disbelief and Kim was able to tell that Lesly recognized most of the faces she saw in those pictures. The woman smiled and continued to scroll through the images until she got to one specific picture that almost made Lesly\u2019s stomach turn. Lesly looked at Kim with an expression full of agitation and hoped that Kim would comply and take the phone away, but Kim did no such thing. This led Lesly to push the phone Kim was holding and to look the other way while struggling hard to take deep calming breaths. Kim was not done. Her smile disappeared and was replaced with a sympathetic look.\n\n\u201cIs this the man who assaulted you, Lesly?\u201d she asked in a calming voice.\n\nLesly did not say anything. She just shut her eyes forcefully and hoped that the woman would leave her alone.\n\nKim held Lesly\u2019s hand and gave her a gentle squeeze before she spoke to her again, \u201cYou need to see this. It\u2019s important.\u201d\n\nLesly looked back reluctantly at Kim who showed Lesly a couple of more images of the same man. However, those other images were different from the first one.

Due to that, there is a problem with rats and because of the rats, lots of other problems occur. They cut up many things and defile the food. So I want to get rid of this problem. Please suggest some ideas how to get rid of these rats without using toxic pesticides.\n\n\nSince the food source that is attracting the rats is the food store next to you, you should talk with the owners of the store about taking one or more of the following measures:\n\n 1. Make sure the rats cannot access any food or leftovers. This may be hard to do as rats can eat their way through various materials. Storing all food and garbage in metal containers will help. Also keep your place as clean as possible, so don't leave and food leftovers on the table and sweep or vacuum the floor regularly.\n\n 2. Locate and seal all holes and entry points to your house to keep the rats out. You'll have to use very sturdy materials for this (metal or very thick wood). Rats are very good climbers so also check for holes at window frames and ceilings. Also check if there are no tree branches or bushes the rats can use to climb on your roof and access the house from there.\n\n 3. Get a cat. The cat will catch some of the rats and hopefully drive away the remaining rats.\n\n 4. Buy and place rat traps. There are traps that kill a rat (snap traps), but also traps that just contain the rat (live traps) so you can release them several miles away from your home.\n\n 5. Use an eco-friendly rat repellent. I've never tried those myself, but I've heard they may help (a little). Rats can't stand the smell of peppermint, so place peppermint plants around your house or soak some rags with peppermint oil. Rats also don't like moth balls and the smell of predators so dropping cat litter around your house if you have access to it may also help.\n\nIf you take the same measures as your neighbour the rats will hopefully have to go elsewhere.\n\nDon't use any poison because it's dangerous for children and the smell of a decomposing rat somewhere in your wall or ceiling isn't pleasant. Also a poisoned rat may contaminate the enviroment if they die outside or poison cats and dogs if they find and eat the dead rat.\n\n \u2022 yeah i will follow this Jun 20 '13 at 9:06\n \u2022 1\n As much as I love the idea of adopting a cat from a local shelter(because that is the responsible thing to do) a cat is actually going to prolong the problem because the cat will basically cull the weakest of the rats leaving more food available for the stronger which will just reproduce resulting in stronger generations in the future. Unless you kill them all or all of the females at least this is not going to have the expected results\n \u2013\u00a0user141\n Jun 20 '13 at 18:03\n \u2022 @Chad You may be right. I guess it will depend on the number of rats in the first place and on how long they already live in your house. I suspect that the longer the rats are present, the less likely they are too flee elsewhere when you get a cat.\n \u2013\u00a0THelper\n Jun 21 '13 at 7:35\n \u2022 Caveats for the Get a cat. option.\n \u2013\u00a0brasofilo\n Aug 17 '13 at 17:11\n\n\nSnakes and owls are the rat's natural predators out doors. If you can encourage their population in or near your yard you will decrease the rat population. Any bird of prey will hunt rats but Owls especially because they are nocturnal so they are most active when the rat is. Rodents are not fond of the smell of mint or citronella. Planting these plants around your home may discourage them.\n\n\nYour number one defense is to make life uncomfortable for them. Getting rid of their food source. This may not be easy since rat's can chew through wood, plastic and even metal. Refrigerated and frozen food is usually safe from rats since they'll avoid the cold if other food sources are more readily available.\n\nMany rat breeds live outside and only infiltrate a home in search of food. If food is available outside they will have no reason to enter your home. Encouraging them to stay outdoors will expose them to greater attacks from predators. You could try bating them by leaving food scraps for them as far from your house as possible.\n\nRepair any holes you find in the exterior of your house. Some breeds prefer to live in trees but a warm attic is a tempting offer so check there for holes as well. Cat's have already been mentioned for indoors but a ferret may be a better choice. Ferrets will attack and overpower prey much larger than themselves.\n\nRat's will stay hidden if given a choice. If you see rats out in the open then they were probably forced into the open by over population and you or your neighboring food store have an entrenched infestation.\n\n\nIf you can get a sticky rat mat, then place it in areas where they are sure to come. You can get scented mats, for e.g peanut butter etc. From your name, it appears you are from India. I was able to get those from local stores in Bangalore. One for your reference http://www.gluetraps.co.uk/rat-glue-trap-boards-2-c.asp\n\n\nIf you're next to a feed lot of some sort, it's next to impossible to get rid of the rats completely. I live in a rat infested neighborhood and have done the following.\n\n \u2022 Call the county and asked them to put out poison. There are two bait stations placed and maintained by the county in the creek that goes through my yard.\n\n \u2022 Pick them off one by one. Rat traps and an electric rat zapper.\n\nWith a massive rodent problem, it may require rallying the community and working with the owner of the feed lot to get it under control.\n\n \u2022 1\n How do your solutions relate to sustainability?\n \u2013\u00a0Nate\n Jun 25 '13 at 10:28\n\nTLDR - Get a straight edged bucket, put one handful of chicken/rabbit/duck pellets and half fill with water. Put in easy to access area. The greedy buggers will jump and won't be able to climb out.\n\nI accidentally discovered this because we had a rat population explosion in our yard due to heavy rain and an abundance of food a few months ago.\n\nI am in the suburbs, but many of my neighbours and myself included have a large variety of animals (rabbits, chickens, ducks etc.), thus there is plenty of scraps around for scavengers.\n\nI don't like using rat poison because I don't want them to drag it into the cage of my animals and we also have a large amount of native wildlife in the area.\n\nI had a bucket next to our ducks which had a very little bit of feed in the bottom. One day when I was scratching my head about how to deal with the rats, I noticed there were 3 dead rats floating in the rainwater which had pooled in the bucket.\n\nI emptied the bucket (fun job!) and tried this again by putting a hand-full of duck pellets in the bottom of the bucket and half filled it with water. Within two days I had another three dead rats. Rinse and repeat!\n\nThis works best if you put the buck near where the rats are entering your property and near where they are used to finding other food. You don't want them to have to go out of their way to discover your trap.\n\nYou also need to make the bucket accessible. They are not going to climb up the side of bucket to get in, if they can't climb up the side of the same bucket to get out.

He backs the imposition of an income tax surcharge on high earners to pay for health care, calling it \"the moral thing to do.\" Yet he can't seem to figure out how to file his own taxes properly or, perhaps, legally.\n\nNow, I also know lots of conservatives who are basket cases at everything other than reading and writing books and articles, giving speeches and thinking Big Thoughts (likewise, I know liberals who despise conservative moralizing about sex and religion who nonetheless live chaste, pious lives themselves). The point is that conservatives don't presume to be smart enough to run everything, because conservative dogma takes it as an article of faith that no one can be that smart.\n\nMoral hypocrisy is still worth exposing, I guess. But we are living in a moment when revealing intellectual hypocrisy should take precedence. A J.P. Morgan chart reprinted on the \"Enterprise Blog\" shows that less than 10 percent of President Obama's Cabinet has private-sector experience, the least of any Cabinet in a century. From the stimulus to health care reform and cap-and-trade, Washington is now run by people who think they know how to run everything, when in reality they can barely run anything.<|endoftext|>Here where I live, there is a food store located beside my home. Due to that, there is a problem with rats and because of the rats, lots of other problems occur. They cut up many things and defile the food. So I want to get rid of this problem. Please suggest some ideas how to get rid of these rats without using toxic pesticides.\n\n\nSince the food source that is attracting the rats is the food store next to you, you should talk with the owners of the store about taking one or more of the following measures:\n\n 1. Make sure the rats cannot access any food or leftovers. This may be hard to do as rats can eat their way through various materials. Storing all food and garbage in metal containers will help. Also keep your place as clean as possible, so don't leave and food leftovers on the table and sweep or vacuum the floor regularly.\n\n 2. Locate and seal all holes and entry points to your house to keep the rats out. You'll have to use very sturdy materials for this (metal or very thick wood). Rats are very good climbers so also check for holes at window frames and ceilings. Also check if there are no tree branches or bushes the rats can use to climb on your roof and access the house from there.\n\n 3. Get a cat. The cat will catch some of the rats and hopefully drive away the remaining rats.\n\n 4. Buy and place rat traps. There are traps that kill a rat (snap traps), but also traps that just contain the rat (live traps) so you can release them several miles away from your home.\n\n 5. Use an eco-friendly rat repellent. I've never tried those myself, but I've heard they may help (a little). Rats can't stand the smell of peppermint, so place peppermint plants around your house or soak some rags with peppermint oil. Rats also don't like moth balls and the smell of predators so dropping cat litter around your house if you have access to it may also help.\n\nIf you take the same measures as your neighbour the rats will hopefully have to go elsewhere.\n\nDon't use any poison because it's dangerous for children and the smell of a decomposing rat somewhere in your wall or ceiling isn't pleasant. Also a poisoned rat may contaminate the enviroment if they die outside or poison cats and dogs if they find and eat the dead rat.\n\n \u2022 yeah i will follow this Jun 20 '13 at 9:06\n \u2022 1\n As much as I love the idea of adopting a cat from a local shelter(because that is the responsible thing to do) a cat is actually going to prolong the problem because the cat will basically cull the weakest of the rats leaving more food available for the stronger which will just reproduce resulting in stronger generations in the future. Unless you kill them all or all of the females at least this is not going to have the expected results\n \u2013\u00a0user141\n Jun 20 '13 at 18:03\n \u2022 @Chad You may be right. I guess it will depend on the number of rats in the first place and on how long they already live in your house. I suspect that the longer the rats are present, the less likely they are too flee elsewhere when you get a cat.\n \u2013\u00a0THelper\n Jun 21 '13 at 7:35\n \u2022 Caveats for the Get a cat. option.\n \u2013\u00a0brasofilo\n Aug 17 '13 at 17:11\n\n\nSnakes and owls are the rat's natural predators out doors. If you can encourage their population in or near your yard you will decrease the rat population. Any bird of prey will hunt rats but Owls especially because they are nocturnal so they are most active when the rat is. Rodents are not fond of the smell of mint or citronella. Planting these plants around your home may discourage them.\n\n\nYour number one defense is to make life uncomfortable for them. Getting rid of their food source. This may not be easy since rat's can chew through wood, plastic and even metal. Refrigerated and frozen food is usually safe from rats since they'll avoid the cold if other food sources are more readily available.\n\nMany rat breeds live outside and only infiltrate a home in search of food. If food is available outside they will have no reason to enter your home. Encouraging them to stay outdoors will expose them to greater attacks from predators. You could try bating them by leaving food scraps for them as far from your house as possible.\n\nRepair any holes you find in the exterior of your house. Some breeds prefer to live in trees but a warm attic is a tempting offer so check there for holes as well. Cat's have already been mentioned for indoors but a ferret may be a better choice. Ferrets will attack and overpower prey much larger than themselves.\n\nRat's will stay hidden if given a choice. If you see rats out in the open then they were probably forced into the open by over population and you or your neighboring food store have an entrenched infestation.\n\n\nIf you can get a sticky rat mat, then place it in areas where they are sure to come. You can get scented mats, for e.g peanut butter etc. From your name, it appears you are from India. I was able to get those from local stores in Bangalore. One for your reference http://www.gluetraps.co.uk/rat-glue-trap-boards-2-c.asp\n\n\nIf you're next to a feed lot of some sort, it's next to impossible to get rid of the rats completely. I live in a rat infested neighborhood and have done the following.\n\n \u2022 Call the county and asked them to put out poison. There are two bait stations placed and maintained by the county in the creek that goes through my yard.\n\n \u2022 Pick them off one by one. Rat traps and an electric rat zapper.\n\nWith a massive rodent problem, it may require rallying the community and working with the owner of the feed lot to get it under control.\n\n \u2022 1\n How do your solutions relate to sustainability?\n \u2013\u00a0Nate\n Jun 25 '13 at 10:28\n\nTLDR - Get a straight edged bucket, put one handful of chicken/rabbit/duck pellets and half fill with water. Put in easy to access area. The greedy buggers will jump and won't be able to climb out.\n\nI accidentally discovered this because we had a rat population explosion in our yard due to heavy rain and an abundance of food a few months ago.\n\nI am in the suburbs, but many of my neighbours and myself included have a large variety of animals (rabbits, chickens, ducks etc.), thus there is plenty of scraps around for scavengers.\n\nI don't like using rat poison because I don't want them to drag it into the cage of my animals and we also have a large amount of native wildlife in the area.\n\nI had a bucket next to our ducks which had a very little bit of feed in the bottom. One day when I was scratching my head about how to deal with the rats, I noticed there were 3 dead rats floating in the rainwater which had pooled in the bucket.\n\nI emptied the bucket (fun job!) and tried this again by putting a hand-full of duck pellets in the bottom of the bucket and half filled it with water. Within two days I had another three dead rats. Rinse and repeat!\n\nThis works best if you put the buck near where the rats are entering your property and near where they are used to finding other food. You don't want them to have to go out of their way to discover your trap.\n\nYou also need to make the bucket accessible. They are not going to climb up the side of bucket to get in, if they can't climb up the side of the same bucket to get out. Place it underneath a tree or next to a fence or some rocks, anything they can climb on to get in.\n\nLastly, the bucket I used had straight sides, I'm not sure if they can easily climb out of a standard bucket (the type you get at supermarkets). My bucket was also slightly deeper than a traditional bucket.\n\nYour Answer\n\n<|endoftext|>Indian Head Massage45 min - \u00a390.00\n\n", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 35992, "pt_loc": 17698618, "pt_shuffle_idx": 176694859, "doc_index_f": 276993018, "doc_index_l": 276993020, "offset_f": 765, "offset_l": 12, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 21, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [266, 1770, 13]}

At this very moment the United States of America is teetering on the precipice of a devastating nuclear surprise attack the likes of which the world has never seen. If the detailed plans for war that I have already told you about are carried out as discussed especially in my monthly AUDIO LETTERS Nos. 6, 12, and 13, this attack might not come for as much as another year or even more; but that is a very big IF because the capability for this attack is now in place, and it includes provisions for a Soviet double-cross of their allies--the four Rockefeller Brothers, who now rule America behind the scenes. Today I want to alert you to the terrible threat we face by means of these topics: Topic #1--THE SOVIET MISSILE CRISIS OF 1976 Topic #2--HITLER'S PATTERN FOR AMERICA'S BICENTENNIAL ERA Topic #3--THE PLANS FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE UNDER OCCUPATION AND DICTATORSHIP Topic #1--It was a sleepy Sunday morning in Hawaii nearly 35 years ago when WORLD WAR II came to America. Much of the Pacific fleet of the United States Navy was peacefully at anchor suspecting nothing, while President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his closest advisors far away in Washington, D.C. waited anxiously for the attack to occur as planned. At 7:55 A.M. on that peaceful Sunday morning, December 7, 1941, more than 100 Japanese aircraft suddenly appeared in the skies over the Island of Oahu, Hawaii. All attempts to warn the Navy of the impending attack had been thwarted or delayed, and the bottled up American fleet was torn to shreds as a result of the complete surprise that resulted. F.D.R. and his closest advisors had made sure that no aircraft carriers were caught in the raid because these would be indispensable in the retaliation to come against Japan. Instead, the sacrifice was limited to battleships, destroyers, cruisers, and several thousand American Servicemen's lives. Soon the news of the crushing disaster that had befallen the United States Navy flashed across a stunned and unbelieving America, and the words \"Pearl Harbor\" from that day have been a synonym for surprise attack of the most catastrophic variety. It should also bring to mind high treason and intrigue, because while most Americans were trying to recover from the shock and horror of the Pearl Harbor attack, F.D.R. and his Rockefeller bosses were congratulating themselves on the success of the operation. The United States would now be drawn into the war against Hitler, enabling a Rockefeller take-over of the formerly British oil concessions in Saudi Arabia; yet President Roosevelt would be making good on his campaign promises not to send American boys away to die in a foreign war. Instead, he had arranged to get us into war by allowing several thousand American boys to die in a rigged attack on American territory--Pearl Harbor! His renowned \"Day of Infamy\" speech then galvanized the nation overnight into a fighting mood. The obstacle of American isolationist sentiment had been flattened, and the United States was AT WAR. Today we are once again at the mercy of an imminent Pearl Harbor-type attack. As before, we are being given no warning whatever that this is the case aside from the general level of tensions here and abroad. But this time it has been planned to be far worse because this time the plan is not for America to win the war but to lose it. Two months ago in monthly AUDIO LETTER No. 12 I first revealed the existence of the supersecret \"Nuclear Safe Zone\"--a swath across roughly the upper half of the continental United States between the latitudes of 40 and 50 degrees north. According to secret agreements between the Rockefeller Brothers and their Soviet allies, this Zone is supposed to be spared from the all-out thermonuclear war that is planned to engulf the southern half of the United States in NUCLEAR WAR ONE. This arrangement has three (3) purposes: First, as I revealed two months ago, it provides a zone within which the Rockefeller Brothers and their closest collaborators expect to ride out the coming NUCLEAR WAR ONE in safety and comfort; Second, much of the industrial base and agricultural breadbasket of America will be preserved for exploitation after the war. A third factor, which I did not mention before, has to do with the high altitude jet stream which goes clear around the earth. Should the Soviets find it necessary to back up their so-called \"clean bombs\", which I revealed last month, with the older dirty bombs, they don't want radioactive fallout from America to drift around the earth and land on the Soviet Union. More than 95% of the Soviet Union lies north of the 40th parallel of latitude; so by agreeing with the Rockefeller Brothers to strike America only below that latitude except for a small strike against Alaska, the Soviets have avoided the danger of having much radioactive dust from America circle the globe to land on their own country. But the Soviets are very eager to break free of the Rockefeller control under which they have functioned for so long, and they are preparing a double-cross. As I reported last month in monthly AUDIO LETTER No. 13, the Safe Zone agreement has been violated by the placement of an atomic bomb at Seal Harbor, Maine, to blast the summer homes of Nelson and David Rockefeller off the map. But that, I am sorry to report, is only the beginning of the \"Pearl Harbor\" the Soviets have prepared for us. The Soviet double-cross of the Rockefeller Brothers is to be thorough and complete, and it will include several more violations of the Nuclear Safe Zone--an acceptable price in Soviet eyes for breaking free of the Rockefellers and into the position of absolute world supremacy themselves. While the United States has focused its missile development on long-range intercontinental ballistic missiles, the Soviet Union has never forgotten the potentialities of shorter range missiles, which are easier to design and build. That's what the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962 was all about. The Soviets, not wishing to depend on their long-range missiles, had installed much shorter-range missiles in Cuba able to reach many American cities from the vulnerable south; and when President John F. Kennedy spoiled the Rockefeller-Soviet plans by forcing Nikita Khrushchev to remove them, they did not abandon this idea. Instead, J.F.K. was removed from the scene himself; and his replacement, Rockefeller puppet President Lyndon B. Johnson, handed the Soviets a new site for the implacement of medium-range missiles to threaten the United States from the south. This was done by turning over the huge United States-built MacKenzie Airfield to the newly independent Marxist republic of Guyana. The Americans pulled out, MacKenzie Airfield was re-named the Temehri Airfield, and this new air base, the largest in Central and South America, was then fortified by ringing it with nuclear missiles aimed at the Panama Canal and cities in the southern half of the United States. And as l have been reporting for over two years--without any Government investigation of my charges whatsoever--the missiles in Guyana are at operational readiness today, threatening the United States and the Panama Canal. But that's not all, my friends. Five years ago, in 1971, there was another Soviet missile crisis, this time involving both Canada and the United States; and I am here revealing it for the very first time. The Soviet Missile Crisis of 1971 began with an accidental discovery by some divers off Vancouver Island, Canada. A Vancouver fishing trawler had sunk in the area and divers were sent down to locate it. While they were looking, they came across something unbelievable--a missile anchored to the bottom. It was attached by heavy chains to four concrete blocks, each estimated to weigh five tons. The blocks in turn were anchored to the bottom by extra heavy anchors of Soviet design. The divers reported their unexpected find immediately, and the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) went into action. The Canadian ship H.C.M.S. Resogoushe plus two mine-layers and a torpedo boat were dispatched and immediately covered the area. By coincidence, this chance discovery occurred just as the Soviet Navy was launching its own operation to recover that very missile. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko had just arrived to visit Vancouver for a hush-hush Foreign Ministers Conference ostensibly. Strangely, he arrived aboard the Soviet ship SUROV, a heavy cruiser of the Cresta class. But Gromyko explained that away by saying that he had just been inspecting the Soviet fleet which was on maneuvers--but that was just a cover story. A Soviet oceanographic research ship doing underwater experiments on guided missiles near Sakhalin had reached the conclusion that six guided missiles, which had been placed strategically on the seabed around the North American continent years before would now have to be recovered and removed at once. These had been planted on the orders of Khrushchev after his defeat by President Kennedy in the Cuban Missile Crisis, and for years they had been lurking undetected. But now they would have to be removed because the Soviet experiments at Sakhalin had revealed that the metals used in the missiles were proving unstable and had started", "base_doc": " but all I can say is that it is absolutely true beyond any shadow of a doubt.

Some nights I wake up at 4 a.m. and I can't get back\u00a0 to sleep because my mind is trying to work its way through something that could be permanent or only temporary.\n\nThis evening as the sun was setting I went to one of my favorite places -- Harris Riverfront Park in Huntington WV. There's a spot where I like to go to ponder the unsolvable problems of life. As I watched the wind roughen the surface of the water, I thought about how in my decades of life almost all my peaceful spots have been along the Ohio River. The entire\u00a0 river is a place that I identify with, whether it's at the Point in Pittsburgh or Cairo Point at the other end or dozens of places in between.\n\nAs I sat there thinking about how mentally peaceful this place is to me as compared to another place that is far less so, I heard people walking toward me. Behind me and to my left were nine people, mostly young, carrying pillows and what looked like blankets.\n\n\"How are you doing?\" one asked as I glanced at them.\n\n\"It depends on what you're carrying,\" I replied.\n\nThey were from a church in or near Wayne WV,\u00a0 and they were looking for homeless people who might need pillows or blankets or a Bible. I said I thought the Huntington police had cleared out the homeless camp nearby, but you never know if the people who had lived there had returned.\n\nSo they left and kept walking down the river. As I stared at the water's surface again, one girl ran back\u00a0 and handed\u00a0 me a small\u00a0 wooden cross.\n\nI couldn't help but think about what this one symbol means to different people I know. Some have dedicated their lives to what it stands for, while others detest everything it means.\n\nAnother thought came into my head, too. Rivers have their own symbolism in secular literature and in Christian theology. On the theological side, I thought about the phrase \"rivers of living water\" from John 7:37-38.\n\nAfter that, it was time to leave. The river is still there. The cross is in my car.

It happens all the time, to everybody. Some of you are looking for ways to undelete or recover photos an iPhone right now. Or maybe you\u2019re trying to help someone recover them.\n\nGood news, we have a solution.\n\nThe iPhone Backup Extractor can retrieve photos from iOS 10 iTunes and iCloud backups, even if the backup file is encrypted or corrupted.\n\nYou have two options: you can get your pictures back from iTunes, if you have a local backup, or you could use your iCloud account.\n\nExtract lost photos from an iOS 10 iTunes backup\n\nThis method helps you retrieve images from any encrypted (password protected) or unencrypted iOS 10 iTunes backup:\n\n 2. Make sure you have an iTunes backup on your computer. If you have images that you have deleted and an older itunes backup on your computer, don\u2019t make any new backup because the files could be overwritten and the pictures will be deleted forever. So, depending on the case, use an older backup or generate a new iTunes one.\n 3. From the left side of the iPhone Backup Extractor, choose the iTunes file from where you need to extract your photos. On the right side, you\u2019ll see a list of options. In \u201cOverview\u201d, click on \u201cPhotos\u201d and choose where you want your images to be recovered.

But what will happen when you delete some important pictures by mistake? Can you still retrieve them? If the pictures have been recently taken, you can extract them using the Photostream method, described here.\n\nIf you have deleted old images, you should disconnect your iPhone from the internet before any new iCloud backup synchronization. This way, you\u2019ll prevent any overwritten backup possibility. Using this method, you will have an older backup on Apple servers, with your deleted images, even the pictures were deleted from your iPad or iPhone.\n\nTo retrieve your photos from an iOS 10 iCloud backup, follow the next steps:\n\n 1. Access this link and get the iPhone Backup Extractor then install it on your computer.\n 2. Open the application then connect to your iCloud account. To do this, use the green \u201cPlus\u201d button, then click on the \u201cAdd\u201d option and use your password and username to get access to the iCloud.

Some nights I wake up at 4 a.m. and I can't get back\u00a0 to sleep because my mind is trying to work its way through something that could be permanent or only temporary.\n\nThis evening as the sun was setting I went to one of my favorite places -- Harris Riverfront Park in Huntington WV. There's a spot where I like to go to ponder the unsolvable problems of life. As I watched the wind roughen the surface of the water, I thought about how in my decades of life almost all my peaceful spots have been along the Ohio River. The entire\u00a0 river is a place that I identify with, whether it's at the Point in Pittsburgh or Cairo Point at the other end or dozens of places in between.\n\nAs I sat there thinking about how mentally peaceful this place is to me as compared to another place that is far less so, I heard people walking toward me. Behind me and to my left were nine people, mostly young, carrying pillows and what looked like blankets.\n\n\"How are you doing?\" one asked as I glanced at them.\n\n\"It depends on what you're carrying,\" I replied.\n\nThey were from a church in or near Wayne WV,\u00a0 and they were looking for homeless people who might need pillows or blankets or a Bible. I said I thought the Huntington police had cleared out the homeless camp nearby, but you never know if the people who had lived there had returned.\n\nSo they left and kept walking down the river. As I stared at the water's surface again, one girl ran back\u00a0 and handed\u00a0 me a small\u00a0 wooden cross.\n\nI couldn't help but think about what this one symbol means to different people I know. Some have dedicated their lives to what it stands for, while others detest everything it means.\n\nAnother thought came into my head, too. Rivers have their own symbolism in secular literature and in Christian theology. On the theological side, I thought about the phrase \"rivers of living water\" from John 7:37-38.\n\nAfter that, it was time to leave. The river is still there. The cross is in my car. And I hope the people from Wayne had a productive evening.<|endoftext|>To allow you to highlight your ads within screenshots, we offer an option to include a red border around your ads.

You just stated that it isn't useful to keep qr objects around if they're just going to be interpolated back into other expressions.\n\nLog In?\n\nWhat's my password?\nCreate A New User\nNode Status?\nnode history\nNode Type: note [id://269061]\nand the web crawler heard nothing...\n\nHow do I use this? | Other CB clients\nOther Users?\nOthers chanting in the Monastery: (5)\nAs of 2014-09-17 00:29 GMT\nFind Nodes?\n Voting Booth?\n\n How do you remember the number of days in each month?\n\n Results (55 votes), past polls<|endoftext|>Social media influencer Abike, popularly known as Papaya Ex, has reacted after she shared a photo of a house claiming", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 40900, "pt_loc": 29182188, "pt_shuffle_idx": 21948827, "doc_index_f": 34411947, "doc_index_l": 34411950, "offset_f": 638, "offset_l": 25, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 10, "pt_injection_len": 32, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [602, 306, 1115, 26]}

Please note that none of these amount to a recommendation. They are ways to think about the decision.\n\n1. Selling a Stock When You No Longer Believe in the Company\n\nWhen you bought the stock, you presumably did so because you believed that the company was promising and/or that the price was reasonable.\n\nIf you start to believe that the underlying fundamentals of the business are in decline, it might be time to sell the stock and reinvest those funds in a company with a better outlook.\n\nThere are many reasons you may lose faith in a company\u2019s underlying fundamentals. For example, the company may have declining profit margins or decreasing revenue, increased competition, new leadership taking the company in a different direction, or legal problems.\n\nPart of the trick here is differentiating what might be a short-term blip in the stock price due to a bad quarter or even a bad year and what feels like it could be the start of a more sustained change within the business.\n\n2. Selling a Stock Due to Opportunity Cost\n\nEvery decision you make comes at the cost of some other decision you can\u2019t make. When you spend your money on one thing, the tradeoff is that you cannot spend that money on something else.\n\nSame goes for investing\u2014for each stock you buy, you are doing so at the cost of not holding some other stock.\n\nNo matter the performance of the stock you\u2019re currently holding, it might be worth evaluating to see if there could be a more profitable way to deploy those same dollars. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that provide easy access to other asset classes\u2013like bonds or commodities\u2013as well as newer markets like different types of cryptocurrencies have also created competition to simply holding plain-vanilla company stocks.\n\nThis is easier said than done because we are emotionally invested in the stocks that we\u2019ve already purchased. It may be a good idea to try and be as objective as possible during the evaluation and re-evaluation processes.\n\n3. Selling a Stock Because the Valuation Is High\n\nOftentimes, stocks are looked at in terms of their price-to-earnings ratios. The market price per share is on the top of the equation, and on the bottom of the equation is the earnings per share. This ratio allows investors to make an apples-to-apples comparison of the relative earnings at different companies.\n\nThe higher the number, the higher the price as compared to the earnings of that company. A P/E ratio alone might not tell you whether a stock is going to do well or poorly in the future.\n\nBut when paired with other data, such as historical ratios for that same stock, or the earnings multiples of their competitors or a benchmark market, like the S&P 500 Index, it may be an indicator that the stock is currently overpriced and that it may be time to sell the stock.\n\nA P/E ratio could increase due to one of two reasons. First, because the price has increased without a corresponding increase in the expected earnings for that company.\n\nAnd two, because the earnings expectations have been lowered without a corresponding decrease in the price of the stock. Either of these scenarios tells us that there could be trouble for the stock on the horizon, though nothing\u2019s a sure bet.\n\n4. Selling a Stock For Personal Reasons\n\nThough not an analytical reason to sell, it is possible that you may need to sell a stock for personal reasons, such as needing the money for living expenses or in the home-buying process. If this is the case, you may want to consider a number of factors in choosing which stock to sell.\n\nYou may make the decision based purely off of which stocks you feel have the worst forward-looking prospect for growth while keeping those that you feel have a better outlook. Or, you may make the decision based on tax reasons.\n\n5. Selling a Stock Because of Taxes\n\nA tax strategy shouldn\u2019t outweigh making decisions based on investment principles. Still, some people may take the rules of taxation into account when making decisions about which stocks to keep and which stocks to sell.\n\nWhen purchased outside of a retirement account, gains on the sale of an investment like stock are subject to capital gains tax.\n\nIt may be possible to offset some capital gains with capital losses, which are acquired by selling stocks at a loss. If you\u2019re considering this strategy, you may want to consult a tax professional. One strategy that some people use is automated tax-loss harvesting, or purposely selling some investments at a loss in order to offset the tax consequences of another profit-generating investment.\n\nWhen Not to Sell a Stock\n\nBefore discussing valid reasons you may want to sell a stock, let\u2019s talk about what might not be a good reason to sell a stock: Making a knee-jerk reaction to the recent performance of that stock.\n\nThis can be classified as attempting to time the market. Even the experts cannot always buy at the bottom and sell at the top. Know that there is no perfect equation and that it is not science.\n\nIt can be tempting to sell a stock based on a big dip or bump in price, but the recent price movement alone might not give a complete picture of the current value of a stock.\n\nIt may help to remember that a stock is something that trades in an open marketplace and that prices shift due to the buying and selling of these stocks.\n\nThis is especially the case in the short term. Therefore, price changes may have as much to do with investor sentiment or outside forces (such as geopolitical or economic events or announcements) as they do with the health of the underlying company.\n\nThe Takeaway\n\nIf making the decision about when to sell a stock is causing you to lose sleep, it may be time to consult the help of a professional or seek out investment strategies that don\u2019t require making such a decision.\n\nYou may want to differentiate between index funds and managed funds. Index funds mimic some particular part of the overall stock market and don\u2019t involve an active manager. For example, an S&P 500 mutual fund (or ETF) holds all 500 companies held in the S&P 500 index. With the purchase of just this one fund, you are actually buying into the 500 stocks that are currently measured by the S&P 500 index.\n\nWith SoFi Invest\u00ae\u2019s Automated Investing, a robo-advisor service, you can get an investment portfolio of ETFs built for you using your goals, risk tolerance, and investing time horizon as a guide.

In over a decade, it has risen through years of ridicule and controversy to now stand at the forefront of\u00a0pop culture in fashion, social media, and sports.\n\nWith its hard-hitting beats and lyrics that confront sensitive\u00a0personal and social topics, icons in the industry and their influence on the audience induced a movement toward equality and broke down censorship. It is a large factor in what we see today; a generation of millennials who actively participate in the art of expression and equality every day.\n\nJuno-Nominated recording artist and professor at Sheridan College for Bachelor of Music Theatre, Mary-Lu Zahalan, said, \u201cit was unlike anything we were hearing at the time. It felt rebellious and dangerous.\u201d\n\nZahalan remembers some of the context to be sexualized and offensive, but the fan base was \u201csolid and fierce in defending its rightful place in the music industry.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt broke down some cultural and racial boundaries. It was accessible to a large population and it didn\u2019t take a ton of musical production to have an impact.\n\nZahalan likens the socially conscious nature of rap with the free styling protest poetry of the \u201860s where icons such as Bob Dylan and Paul Simon promoted \u2018love and peace\u2019, a key factor being that it seemed to come from a predominantly white, educated audience, while rap seemed to promote \u2018violence & hate\u2019, which had come from a predominantly black, less fortunate background.\n\nIn the nineties, when rap first broke out as its own genre, there was only negative feedback. People weren\u2019t used to it and felt uncomfortable with its daring nature, both lyrically and sonically.\n\nRap groups such as N.W.A., Public Enemy, and Wu-Tang Clan boldly put out content that spoke against discrimination, their experiences under police brutality, and the struggles of living in poverty, as well as drugs and gang violence in the community.\n\nPeople generally interpreted their craft as a glamorization of a lifestyle of violence. And although similar themes are sometimes echoed in the music today, listeners have shifted in the way they interpret it, understanding that it\u2019s simply a story being told of struggle and perseverance.\n\n\u201cThe paradigm shift in rap music today came from an accumulation of a cry for help all those years. I think rap always represented those oppressed and spoke for the people,\u201d said Delroy Gordon, 19, a second year Visual Creative Arts student at Sheridan.\n\nGordon debunks the notion that rap endorses violence.\n\n\u201cThat\u2019s wrong. There are a billion artists who rap about positive subjects. Some do talk about violence, but that doesn\u2019t define their single art form.\u201d\n\nThe negative connotations posed on the genre would eventually be dismantled, as rap music outgrew\u00a0its niche of a \u201cgangsta\u201d lifestyle theme, and into more socially conscious and thought-provoking content.\n\n\u201cI think once we started hearing different subject matter from icons like Tupac and those guys, once we started hearing intelligent conversations from them it kind of spun the whole genre to a different direction.\u201d said Gordon.\n\nThe young fan base grew rapidly over the years from because of being able to relate to the\u00a0thought processes and emotions rappers exposed in their storytelling. The diversity of the stories expanded, and whether or not the artist came from harder backstories, they had something to say and people listened.\n\nJudd Orcasitas, 20, a second-year Communications Culture Information Technology student believes \u201cpeople were able to connect to the words more than the sound itself.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt became popular because people wanted to hear something different, there was nothing like that at the time it started. You\u2019re just able to say whatever you want, it\u2019s cohesive.\u201d said Orcasitas.\n\nWhen\u00a0artists like Nas, Eminem, Lupe Fiasco, and Kanye West broke out rapping about every day life, personal growth and struggles, it became evident that taking\u00a0part in the hip hop culture or its music no longer\u00a0required a history that involved drugs, guns, and poverty.\n\nMacklemore, Iggy Azeala, Nicki Minaj, Frank Ocean, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar are the rappers to the millennials who have all produced worldwide hits with diversified content that connects to all the types of social norms existing today \u2013 the byproduct of years of fighting censorship and inequality.\n\nZahalan says that the genre\u2019s \u201cpart in our musical evolution was essential to what we call mainstream pop today. It has become integrated in every genre of music now and some would argue that Rap is the new Pop of this generation.\u201d\n\n\u201cArtists from Tupac Shakur to Wiz Khalifa, Common were and are brilliant wordsmiths; Kanye is equal parts brilliant and repulsive and like it or not, rap music is an essential element of popular music today.\n\n\u201cAnd it doesn\u2019t even matter if you\u2019re black or white anymore,\u201d said Gordon.\n\n\u201cIf you\u2019re feeling like you\u2019re fighting a battle you can\u2019t win, that\u2019s the music that speaks for you. That\u2019s why I connect to it, and why others have all these years.\u201d<|endoftext|>At the time, it comprised ships of Italy, France, Germany, Pakistan, Canada, the United Kingdom and United States.<|endoftext|>Sith drop ships were deployed by Sith personnel carriers, transporting Sith troops and war beasts to planetary surfaces.\n\n\n\nIn other languages\n\nAd blocker interference detected!\n\n<|endoftext|>An irrational day\n\nSo I woke up this morning to discover that Prof. Stephen Hawking is now on his way off to the Great Lecture Hall in the Sky:\n\nPhysicist Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76.\n\nHawking\u2019s children Lucy, Robert and Tim issued a statement on Wednesday, March 14th, in which they said \u201cWe are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today.\u201d\n\n\u201cHe was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years. His courage and persistence with his brilliance and humour inspired people across the world.\u201d \u201cHe once said: \u2018It would not be much of a universe if it wasn\u2019t home to the people you love.\u2019 We will miss him for ever.\u201d\n\nHawking was diagnosed with motor neurone disease aged 22, and advised he could expect to live just a few more years. However, the disease progressed more slowly than predicted and Hawking married, kept working and became a titan of both hard and popular science.\n\nHis hard science saw him develop theories on black holes and gravity that went a long way towards reconciling classical and quantum mechanics.\n\nHis prominent place in popular science came about after his book A Brief History of Time became an unexpected best-seller after its lucid and accessible explanation of time, space and science\u2019s search for a \u201ctheory of everything\u201d resonated with the public.\n\nSo did Hawking's life story: the stricken-but-still-brilliant scientist in a tricked-out wheelchair was someone the world wanted to know. His synthesised voice became his trademark and his wheelchair something of a symbol of the possibilities afforded by technology.\n\nI read A Brief History of Time\u00a0sometime in my teens - which by the way is not nearly as impressive as it sounds, since I understood perhaps one word in five of the entire thing and have never re-read it since as an adult. But I was much struck by the way in which Prof. Hawking was able to elucidate some fiendishly\u00a0complicated and intricate concepts in both theoretical applied physics, and in highly complex mathematics, and make the ideas accessible to any reasonably intelligent person with a decent background in the hard sciences.\n\nTruly, we have lost a great mind.\n\nUnfortunately, Prof. Hawking's legacy of brilliance and scientific discovery will be tempered by the fact that he fell for some astoundingly\u00a0stupid ideas along the way:\n\nThroughout his career Prof Hawking was showered with honorary degrees, medals, awards and prizes, and in 1982 he was made a CBE.\n\nBut he also ruffled a few feathers within the scientific establishment with far-fetched statements about the existence of extraterrestrials, time travel, and the creation of humans through genetic engineering.\n\nHe has also predicted the end of humanity, due to global warming, a new killer virus, or the impact of a large comet.\n\nHe also had precious little to say in favour of the concept", "base_doc": " My professional experience includes work with Autistic children performing ADA and RDI therapies; a preschool teacher with children that have been diagnosed with severe emotional disturbances; behavior modification with youth also that also have severe emotional disturbances; WRAParound care coordination with foster youth, pre- and post-adoption, youth in the juvenile justice system, and CSEC victims.

It was accessible to a large population and it didn\u2019t take a ton of musical production to have an impact.\n\nZahalan likens the socially conscious nature of rap with the free styling protest poetry of the \u201860s where icons such as Bob Dylan and Paul Simon promoted \u2018love and peace\u2019, a key factor being that it seemed to come from a predominantly white, educated audience, while rap seemed to promote \u2018violence & hate\u2019, which had come from a predominantly black, less fortunate background.\n\nIn the nineties, when rap first broke out as its own genre, there was only negative feedback. People weren\u2019t used to it and felt uncomfortable with its daring nature, both lyrically and sonically.\n\nRap groups such as N.W.A., Public Enemy, and Wu-Tang Clan boldly put out content that spoke against discrimination, their experiences under police brutality, and the struggles of living in poverty, as well as drugs and gang violence in the community.\n\nPeople generally interpreted their craft as a glamorization of a lifestyle of violence. And although similar themes are sometimes echoed in the music today, listeners have shifted in the way they interpret it, understanding that it\u2019s simply a story being told of struggle and perseverance.\n\n\u201cThe paradigm shift in rap music today came from an accumulation of a cry for help all those years. I think rap always represented those oppressed and spoke for the people,\u201d said Delroy Gordon, 19, a second year Visual Creative Arts student at Sheridan.\n\nGordon debunks the notion that rap endorses violence.\n\n\u201cThat\u2019s wrong. There are a billion artists who rap about positive subjects. Some do talk about violence, but that doesn\u2019t define their single art form.\u201d\n\nThe negative connotations posed on the genre would eventually be dismantled, as rap music outgrew\u00a0its niche of a \u201cgangsta\u201d lifestyle theme, and into more socially conscious and thought-provoking content.\n\n\u201cI think once we started hearing different subject matter from icons like Tupac and those guys, once we started hearing intelligent conversations from them it kind of spun the whole genre to a different direction.\u201d said Gordon.\n\nThe young fan base grew rapidly over the years from because of being able to relate to the\u00a0thought processes and emotions rappers exposed in their storytelling. The diversity of the stories expanded, and whether or not the artist came from harder backstories, they had something to say and people listened.\n\nJudd Orcasitas, 20, a second-year Communications Culture Information Technology student believes \u201cpeople were able to connect to the words more than the sound itself.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt became popular because people wanted to hear something different, there was nothing like that at the time it started. You\u2019re just able to say whatever you want, it\u2019s cohesive.\u201d said Orcasitas.\n\nWhen\u00a0artists like Nas, Eminem, Lupe Fiasco, and Kanye West broke out rapping about every day life, personal growth and struggles, it became evident that taking\u00a0part in the hip hop culture or its music no longer\u00a0required a history that involved drugs, guns, and poverty.\n\nMacklemore, Iggy Azeala, Nicki Minaj, Frank Ocean, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar are the rappers to the millennials who have all produced worldwide hits with diversified content that connects to all the types of social norms existing today \u2013 the byproduct of years of fighting censorship and inequality.\n\nZahalan says that the genre\u2019s \u201cpart in our musical evolution was essential to what we call mainstream pop today. It has become integrated in every genre of music now and some would argue that Rap is the new Pop of this generation.\u201d\n\n\u201cArtists from Tupac Shakur to Wiz Khalifa, Common were and are brilliant wordsmiths; Kanye is equal parts brilliant and repulsive and like it or not, rap music is an essential element of popular music today.\n\n\u201cAnd it doesn\u2019t even matter if you\u2019re black or white anymore,\u201d said Gordon.\n\n\u201cIf you\u2019re feeling like you\u2019re fighting a battle you can\u2019t win, that\u2019s the music that speaks for you. That\u2019s why I connect to it, and why others have all these years.\u201d<|endoftext|>Sith drop ships were deployed by Sith personnel carriers, transporting Sith troops and war beasts to planetary surfaces.\n\n\n\nIn other languages\n\nAd blocker interference detected!\n\n<|endoftext|>An irrational day\n\nSo I woke up this morning to discover that Prof. Stephen Hawking is now on his way off to the Great Lecture Hall in the Sky:\n\nPhysicist Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76.\n\nHawking\u2019s children Lucy, Robert and Tim issued a statement on Wednesday, March 14th, in which they said \u201cWe are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today.\u201d\n\n\u201cHe was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years. His courage and persistence with his brilliance and humour inspired people across the world.\u201d \u201cHe once said: \u2018It would not be much of a universe if it wasn\u2019t home to the people you love.\u2019 We will miss him for ever.\u201d\n\nHawking was diagnosed with motor neurone disease aged 22, and advised he could expect to live just a few more years. However, the disease progressed more slowly than predicted and Hawking married, kept working and became a titan of both hard and popular science.\n\nHis hard science saw him develop theories on black holes and gravity that went a long way towards reconciling classical and quantum mechanics.\n\nHis prominent place in popular science came about after his book A Brief History of Time became an unexpected best-seller after its lucid and accessible explanation of time, space and science\u2019s search for a \u201ctheory of everything\u201d resonated with the public.\n\nSo did Hawking's life story: the stricken-but-still-brilliant scientist in a tricked-out wheelchair was someone the world wanted to know. His synthesised voice became his trademark and his wheelchair something of a symbol of the possibilities afforded by technology.\n\nI read A Brief History of Time\u00a0sometime in my teens - which by the way is not nearly as impressive as it sounds, since I understood perhaps one word in five of the entire thing and have never re-read it since as an adult. But I was much struck by the way in which Prof. Hawking was able to elucidate some fiendishly\u00a0complicated and intricate concepts in both theoretical applied physics, and in highly complex mathematics, and make the ideas accessible to any reasonably intelligent person with a decent background in the hard sciences.\n\nTruly, we have lost a great mind.\n\nUnfortunately, Prof. Hawking's legacy of brilliance and scientific discovery will be tempered by the fact that he fell for some astoundingly\u00a0stupid ideas along the way:\n\nThroughout his career Prof Hawking was showered with honorary degrees, medals, awards and prizes, and in 1982 he was made a CBE.\n\nBut he also ruffled a few feathers within the scientific establishment with far-fetched statements about the existence of extraterrestrials, time travel, and the creation of humans through genetic engineering.\n\nHe has also predicted the end of humanity, due to global warming, a new killer virus, or the impact of a large comet.\n\nHe also had precious little to say in favour of the concept of a benevol", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 44172, "pt_loc": 27170303, "pt_shuffle_idx": 207551754, "doc_index_f": 325352589, "doc_index_l": 325352592, "offset_f": 262, "offset_l": 641, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 22, "pt_injection_len": 26, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [198, 1172, 37, 642]}

We've compiled a few reports that often leave some of us scratching our heads when we try building them. These reports have come from actual requests from PDQ Inventory administrators around the globe.\n\nFind Unapproved Domain Accounts in Local Administrators Groups.\n\nCreate a New Report. Make it a Standard (not SQL) Report. Add the following table/columns:\n\n\nYou will see that there are two tables for Local Groups. Honestly, I prefer to use Local Group Member when I pull any info related to group membership. Do not mix and match these groups in the same report. Anyway, there is undoubtedly more than one way to apply filters in this case. I\u2019ll show you two options.\n\nCompile a list of account names that are approved. We want to remove them from the results to cut down on noise in the returned rows.\n\nThis method uses fewer filters because we unlock the power of regular expressions. I am removing Domain Admins, Enterprise Admins, Quintana, and Administrator from the results since these accounts are approved. In this case, I use some RegEx special characters. ^ means start at the beginning of the string. $ means that is the end of the string. The pipe characters | is essential in this case as it means OR. The way to interpret the following RegEx is \u201cdo not return any account exactly named Domain Admins OR Enterprise Admins OR Quintana OR Administrator/.\u201d\n\n^Domain Admins$|^Enterprise Admins$|^quintana$|^Administrator$\n\nIf RegEx isn\u2019t your thing, you can achieve the same results by using the following:\n\n\nLet\u2019s get to a tricky one, but first, we\u2019ll set the table with an EASY one. The following screenshots show how you can have a report showing which computers have Google Chrome by version.\n\nSystems with Google Chrome (1)\n\nThis report returns something like this:\n\nReport Systems with Chrome\n\nNow here\u2019s a tricky one. Now and then we\u2019ll get a request to have a report showing computers with two or more specific applications. That part is easy. What gets a tad more difficult is when you want to DISPLAY the particular apps.\n\nHere is a scenario. Find which computers have Chrome AND Firefox. OK, if all you want to do is report the machines that have both, this report is incredibly easy. Below are the filters you could use if you only want to return computer names.\n\nunnamed (28)\nChrome only return computer names\n\nHere is where it gets tricky. If you want this report to show both Chrome AND Firefox and their respective versions you will need to modify the filters quite a bit. Otherwise your report will return zero rows.\n\nChrome and FIrefox Display Both Filters\n\nI understand the above example is not that intuitive.

She has run a retail store for over twenty years, and while our industries are very different, there are still all kinds of things I learn from her. There are some things that you sell that you can charge well over 2x what the cost is to you (called 'keystoning', for you business majors out there), just because they are perceived as more valuable by the customer. Most items my mother sells are usually marked up 2-3x the cost. Some are marked up much more, just because she knows the customer will pay it. Isn't that, after all, what we're after, charging what the market will bear? Some plants I keystone, others I charge (much more) according to customer perception - you have to figure out what that is for your market niche. But first and foremost, you need to get a handle on your costs - find out exactly how much it costs you to plant a shrub - plant cost, gas to get there, labor, G&A, everything. Every company has different costs, every company has different positioning strategies, every company president has different views on acceptable ROI's.

The main reason for doing so is health, and a gym that focuses on that would be desirable. The YMCA gyms do well in this regard, plus they are reasonably priced and don\u2019t try to pressure you into long-term deals. Also the YMCA trainers will show you the safe way to do an exercise, usually for free. For squats and deadlifts this is quite important.\n\nIf you like classes, by all means do classes. Many do not seem to emphasize resistance or interval training, but there are notable exceptions.\n\nStrenuous classes like exercise programs that emphasize balance and heart rate variability, such as the Bar Method, are excellent.\n\nOne important machine to look for is the rower. The \u201cstandard\u201d brand is the Concept2. Most gyms have these. The rower is a very safe and effective way to do interval and anaerobic-threshold exercise. However, there are many other ways, so lack of a rower needn\u2019t be a showstopper.\n\nAnother essential gym item would be a squat cage, which is a rack that allows you to load weights onto a barbell, along with safety rails to catch the bar should you fall or take on too much weight. Gyms usually have one.\n\n\nUnless the staff will instruct you for free, you should buy a few trainer sessions and have the trainer show you the safe way to do these exercises, especially squats and deadlifts. Not all trainers have the same ideas.

Analysts were looking for the company to deliver $200,000 more in revenue and $0.04 more in earnings per share.\n\nRevenue grew 35% from last year in the quarter, and GAAP net income of $0.20 outpaced the $0.17 reported in fiscal Q2 a year ago. Sales came predominately from the company's Impella line-up of heart pumps, which are used to support patients following a heart attack and through heart surgery. Impella sales of $97.9 million were up 37% year over year as Impella sales in the U.S.\u00a0improved 34% to $89.3 million and patient use grew 35%. International sales also increased to $8.6 million in the quarter, up 73% year over year due to rising demand in Germany.\n\nGross margin slipped to 83.2% in the quarter from last year, while operating margin dipped to 14.1% from 16.8%.\n\nNow what\n\nManagement entered the quarter estimating fiscal full year sales of at least $435 million, and management maintained that forecast on Thursday.\u00a0The company expects revenue of between $435 million and $445 million and GAAP operating margin of between 18% and 20%, and if the company delivers on its revenue target, it will represent a 32% to 35% improvement over its fiscal 2016 results.\n\nAlthough Abiomed's sales growth was lower than hoped, sales didn't miss projections by much. I don't think Abiomed's miss is due to competitive losses and I am encouraged by the company's potential abroad.\n\nOverall, Abiomed has been one of healthcare's top performing stocks, so an argument could be made that it was priced for perfection. Undeniably,\u00a0Abiomed's still a pricey stock, but Thursday's sell-off does make it more attractive to me -- especially for inclusion in growth portfolios.\u00a0\n\n<|endoftext|>was Philip.\n\n\u201cI don\u2019t take to Philip,\u201d said he, smiling, \u201cfor it sounds like a moral\nboy out of the spelling-book, who was so lazy that he fell into a pond,\nor so fat that he couldn\u2019t see out of his eyes, or so avaricious that\nhe locked up his cake till the mice ate it, or so determined to go a\nbird\u2019s-nesting that he got himself eaten by bears who lived handy in\nthe neighbourhood.

International sales also increased to $8.6 million in the quarter, up 73% year over year due to rising demand in Germany.\n\nGross margin slipped to 83.2% in the quarter from last year, while operating margin dipped to 14.1% from 16.8%.\n\nNow what\n\nManagement entered the quarter estimating fiscal full year sales of at least $435 million, and management maintained that forecast on Thursday.\u00a0The company expects revenue of between $435 million and $445 million and GAAP operating margin of between 18% and 20%, and if the company delivers on its revenue target, it will represent a 32% to 35% improvement over its fiscal 2016 results.\n\nAlthough Abiomed's sales growth was lower than hoped, sales didn't miss projections by much. I don't think Abiomed's miss is due to competitive losses and I am encouraged by the company's potential abroad.\n\nOverall, Abiomed has been one of healthcare's top performing stocks, so an argument could be made that it was priced for perfection. Undeniably,\u00a0Abiomed's still a pricey stock, but Thursday's sell-off does make it more attractive to me -- especially for inclusion in growth portfolios.\u00a0\n\n<|endoftext|>A party member in a D&D 5e game I'm in is playing a halfling paladin. It occurred to me (for whatever reason) to ask what weapon they were wielding, and they said their main weapon was a maul, and their backup was a warhammer/shield combo).\n\nUpon checking the Weapons table, I discovered that mauls have the \"Heavy\" weapon property:\n\n\nThe player seemed to be unaware of this (a similar character in Critical Role apparently wielded heavy weapons without issue - of course, CR is not necessarily a perfect demonstration of the rules as written).\n\nAs such, I was curious whether there is anything in the rules (i.e. not homebrew or a house rule) that cancels out this innate disadvantage for player characters, other than gaining advantage from some other source in combat.\n\n(Note: the issue has already been resolved in our game between the player and DM, so it's purely a rules question.)\n\n \u2022 \\$\\begingroup\\$ Note: As of the 2020 PHB errata, the PHB now specifies that the \"heavy\" property imposes disadvantage on Tiny creatures in addition to Small creatures. \\$\\endgroup\\$\n \u2013\u00a0V2Blast\n Apr 7 '20 at 16:03\n\nA potion of growth or an enlargement spell\n\nBy changing to medium size, temporarily, that disadvantage will go away. Both the potion and the spell make that possible.\n\nComment: this point got some discussion early in this edition's release. (This question is related but not identical, as is this one). This little piece of verisimilitude -- which parallels a similar rule about weapons for Large and Huge creatures not getting a damage increase if a medium sized creature uses it (DMG p. 278)-- avoids the absurdity of a halfling wielding a greatsword, while still allowing for a variety of other absurdities.\n\nFWIW, this small sized character can ride a medium sized creature. Gnome and halfling Rangers (for example) can take good advantage of that if they are Beast Masters.\n\nIn the interest of Rules as Fun (RAF1)", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 114520, "pt_loc": 18293849, "pt_shuffle_idx": 161139895, "doc_index_f": 252597425, "doc_index_l": 252597428, "offset_f": 110, "offset_l": 459, "pt_injection_pos": 3, "pt_window_offset": 114, "pt_injection_len": 281, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [21, 1069, 499, 460]}

When the last page of a segment is removed from core, the segment becomes a candidate for deactivation. The algorithm selects for deactivation the segment which has had no pages in core for the longest period of time, i.e. the segment which has been least recently used. Since the number of (PT, ASTE) pairs substantially exceeds the number of pageable blocks of core, it is always possible to find an active segment with no pages in core.\n\nThe ASTE must provide all the information needed for deactivating a segment. This means that during activation and connection, this information must be made available. During activation, a pointer to the branch must be placed in the ASTE; during connection, a pointer to the SDW must be placed in the ASTE. Since more than one SDW is connected to the same PT when the segment is shared by several processes, the super visor must maintain a list of pointers to all connected SDWs. This list is called a connection list. See Figure 5.\n\nAfter the selection algorithm chooses a (PT, ASTE) to be freed, the disassociation of the segment from its (PT, ASTE) is done in two steps: disconnection and deactivation.\n\nDisconnection consists of storing a segment fault in each SDW whose address appears in the connection list in the ASTE. Deactivation consists of moving the segment map and the segment length from the ASTE back to the branch, resetting the active switch in the branch, and putting the (PT, ASTE) in the free list.\n\n9. Structure of the Supervisor\n\nUp to now supervisor functions have been described, but not the supervisor structure. In this section, the different components of the supervisor are presented and the ability of portions of the supervisor to utilize the virtual memory is discussed.\n\n9.l Functional Modules\n\nThree functional modules can be identified in the supervisor described in Section 8; they are called directory control (DC), segment control (SC), and page control (PC).\n\nDC performs all operations on segment attributes; it also maps pathnames into segment numbers in the KST of the executing process. Data bases used by a process executing DC procedures are the directories and the KST of the process (Figure 6).\n\nSC performs segment fault handling. Data bases used by a process executing SC procedures are directories, the KST of the process, descriptor segments and (PT, ASTE) pairs.\n\nPC performs page fault handling. Data bases used by a process executing PC procedures are (PT, ASTE) pairs and the core map.\n\n9.2 Use of PC in the Supervisor\n\nOne can observe that the page fault handler need not know if a missing page belongs to a user segment or to a supervisor segment; it only expects to find the in formation it requires in the (PT, ASTE) of the segment to which the missing page belongs. Therefore, if all segments used in SC and DC are always active, then their pages need not be in core since PC can load them when they are referenced.\n\nIn order to make use of PC in the rest of the super visor the following (temporary) assumption must be made.\n\nAssumption 1\n\n(a) All segments used in PC are always in core and are connected to the descriptor segment of each process.\n\n(b) All segments used in SC and DC are always active and are connected to the descriptor segment of each process.\n\n9.3 Use of SC in the Supervisor\n\nAssumption I is satisfactory in the Multics implementation except for directories.\n\nThe number of directory segments in the system may be very large and keeping them always active is not a realistic approach, since a large number of (PT, ASTE) pairs would have to be permanently assigned to them. It would be desirable to use SC to activate and connect directory segments only as needed.\n\nA necessary condition for handling a segment fault for segment x in a process is that segment x be known to that process. Assuming that all directories are known to all processes, but not necessarily active, reference to a directory x may cause a segment fault. When handling this fault, the segment fault handler must reference the parent directory of segment x, where the branch for x is located. This reference to the parent of x could, in turn, cause a recursive invocation of the segment fault handler. These recursive invocations can propagate from directory to parent directory up to the root. If the root directory is always active and connected to each process, then the recursion is guaranteed to be finite and a segment fault for any directory can be handled.\n\nThe first assumption can be replaced by the following more satisfactory assumption (again temporary).\n\nAssumption 2\n\n\n(b) All nondirectory segments used in SC and DC are always active and are connected to the descriptor segment of each process.\n\n(c) The root directory is always active and connected to each process.\n\n(d) All directories are always known to each process.\n\n9.4 Use of the Make Known Facility in the Supervisor\n\nHowever, it is unsatisfactory to keep all directories known to all processes because of the space that would be required in each KST. It would be more attractive if a directory could be made known to a process only when needed by the process.\n\nMaking a segment x known implies searching for its pathname in the KST. If not found, the parent of x must first be made known and so on up to the root. If the root directory is always known to all processes, then any directory can be made known to a process by calling recursively the Make Known facility of the supervisor.\n\nAssumption 2 will now be replaced by the final assumption:\n\nFinal Assumption\n\n\n\n\n(d) The root directory is always known to each process.\n\nGiven the above assumption, supervisor segments, as well as user segments, can be stored in the virtual memory that the supervisor provides.\n\n10. Summary\n\nThe most important points discussed in this paper are summarized below. They are grouped into two classes: the point of view of the user of the virtual memory, and the point of view of the supervisor itself.\n\nUser Point of View\n\nThe Multics virtual memory can contain a very large number of segments that are referenced by symbolic names.\n\nSegment attributes are stored in special segments called directories, which are organized into a tree structure; by a naming convention known to the user, the symbolic name of a segment must be the pathname of the segment in the directory tree structure.\n\nAny operation on directory segments must be done by calling the supervisor.\n\nAny operation on a nondirectory segment can be done directly in accordance with the access rights that the user has for the segment; any word of any segment which resides in the virtual memory can be referenced with a pair (pathname, i) by the user.\n\nSupervisor Point of View\n\nThe supervisor must simulate a large segmented memory which is directly addressable by symbolic name and such that any access to the memory is submitted to access rights checking.\n\nThe supervisor maintains a directory tree where it stores all segment attributes. It can retrieve the attributes of a segment, given the pathname of that segment.\n\nThe supervisor itself is organized into segments and runs in the address space of each user process.\n\nAny segment, be it a directory or a nondirectory segment, is identified by its pathname but can be accessed only using a segment number. For each segment name the supervisor must assign a segment number by which the processor will address the segment in the process.\n\nThe processor accesses a word of a segment through the appropriate SDW and PTW, subject to the access rights recorded in the SDW.\n\nA segment fault is generated by the processor when ever the page table address or access rights are missing in the SDW. The supervisor then, using the KST entry as a stepping stone, accesses the branch where it finds the needed information. If a PT is to be assigned, the supervisor may have to deactivate another segment.\n\nA page fault is generated by the processor whenever a PTW does not contain a core address. The supervisor then, using the ASTE associated with the PT, moves the missing page from secondary storage to core. This may require the removal of another page.\n\n\nThis paper would be incomplete without acknowledgment of the people who worked so hard to", "base_doc": " in the branch.\n\nThe selection algorithm for deactivation, like the selection algorithm for page removal, is based on usage.

Special mention goes to G.F. Clancy, M.R. Thompson, and S.H. Webber who, under the design leadership of R.C. Daley, have been involved in a major portion of the design and implementation effort. They were aided in earlier designs and implementations by C.A. Cushing, S.M. Jones, G.B. Krekeler, N.I. Morris, P.G. Neumann, R.K. Rathbun, J.D. Van Hausen, M.R. Wagner, and L.D. Whitehead. Recent implementations have also benefited from the contributions of S.D. Dunten and M.C. Turnquist. Contributions in the form of analyses and discussions have been made by F.J. Corbat\u00f3, E.L. Glaser, J.H. Saltzer, and V.A. Vyssotsky.\n\nFinally, our thanks go to P.A. Belmont, M.A. Meer, and D.L.

The main reason for buying power generator is to provide people temporary power when there is power outage but since it is noisy, the word comfort that most people think is tainted. They\u2019d rather just go out of the house and go to the nearest mall than stay at home and experience a noisy and annoying environment. These days, many gas generators have been developed and its ability to be quiet is one factor that has been taken into consideration by manufacturers. There are now quiet gas generators that are quite similar to solid rocket propellant. The purpose of this generator is to maximize the energy available to it by producing volumes of cool gas. Gas generators were made primarily to be available during emergency purposes such as when a sick elderly or a baby shouldn\u2019t experience extreme temperature and there is power outage. This is also used for professional purposes such as in the company\u2019s or industries or even when doing some professional work. Some people use this for recreational purposes such as when they are out on a camp or somewhere outdoors. Gas generators are fuelled by different kinds of fuel may it be gasoline, propane, diesel or natural gases and one of the most common among them is fuelled by chemical oxygen. This type of generator is quite when giving out power. It is also helpful to the environment wherein it doesn\u2019t give out dirty air or black smoke unlike when using a gasoline-fuelled generator. The good thing about this too is that it gives out a breathable air instead of carbon dioxide. Like what you can notice when using gasoline generator, you can\u2019t come near that machine because it smells gasoline and you can\u2019t inhale the smoke otherwise you\u2019ll be suffocated. With the chemical oxygen type, working beside that generator is not a problem. This is because this kind of generator has a silencer built in it. Buying a generator is indeed worth because it is also long-lasting and durable. However, the durability of every machine depends on the user as well.

The main reason for buying power generator is to provide people temporary power when there is power outage but since it is noisy, the word comfort that most people think is tainted. They\u2019d rather just go out of the house and go to the nearest mall than stay at home and experience a noisy and annoying environment. These days, many gas generators have been developed and its ability to be quiet is one factor that has been taken into consideration by manufacturers. There are now quiet gas generators that are quite similar to solid rocket propellant. The purpose of this generator is to maximize the energy available to it by producing volumes of cool gas. Gas generators were made primarily to be available during emergency purposes such as when a sick elderly or a baby shouldn\u2019t experience extreme temperature and there is power outage. This is also used for professional purposes such as in the company\u2019s or industries or even when doing some professional work. Some people use this for recreational purposes such as when they are out on a camp or somewhere outdoors. Gas generators are fuelled by different kinds of fuel may it be gasoline, propane, diesel or natural gases and one of the most common among them is fuelled by chemical oxygen. This type of generator is quite when giving out power. It is also helpful to the environment wherein it doesn\u2019t give out dirty air or black smoke unlike when using a gasoline-fuelled generator. The good thing about this too is that it gives out a breathable air instead of carbon dioxide. Like what you can notice when using gasoline generator, you can\u2019t come near that machine because it smells gasoline and you can\u2019t inhale the smoke otherwise you\u2019ll be suffocated. With the chemical oxygen type, working beside that generator is not a problem. This is because this kind of generator has a silencer built in it. Buying a generator is indeed worth because it is also long-lasting and durable. However, the durability of every machine depends on the user as well. As long as you maintain your machine, you are ensured that it will last long. Taking care of generator is not that difficult. Cleaning it from time to time is very important. Also, before using it for the first time, make sure that you have understood all the precautionary measures mentioned in the manual of the generator otherwise, you will end up either causing accidents or buying a new generator.

This tribe united with that of Gad in asking permission to settle in the \"land of Gilead,\" \"on the other side of Jordan\" (Num 32:1). The lot assigned to Reuben was the smallest of the lots given to the trans-Jordanic tribes. It extended from the Arnon, in the south along the coast of the Dead Sea to its northern end, where the Jordan flows into it (Jos 13:15, Jos 13:23). It thus embraced the original kingdom of Sihon. Reuben is \"to the eastern tribes what Simeon is to the western. 'Unstable as water,' he vanishes away into a mere Arabian tribe. 'His men are few;' it is all he can do 'to live and not die.' We hear of nothing beyond the multiplication of their cattle in the land of Gilead, their spoils of 'camels fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand' (Ch1 5:9, Ch1 5:10, Ch1 5:20, Ch1 5:21). In the great struggles of the nation he never took part. The complaint against him in the song of Deborah is the summary of his whole history. 'By the streams of Reuben,' i.e., by the fresh streams which descend from the eastern hills into the Jordan and the Dead Sea, on whose banks the Bedouin chiefs met then as now to debate, in the 'streams' of Reuben great were the 'desires'\", i.e., resolutions which were never carried out, the people idly resting among their flocks as if it were a time of peace (Jdg 5:15, Jdg 5:16). Stanley's Sinai and Palestine. All the three tribes on the east of Jordan at length fell into complete apostasy, and the time of retribution came. God \"stirred up the spirit of Pul, king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria,\" to carry them away, the first of the tribes, into captivity (Ch1 5:25, Ch1 5:26).\n\nReuel Friend of God.

If he be identified with Jethro (q.v.), then this may be regarded as his proper name, and Jether or Jethro (i.e., \"excellency\") as his official title. (3.)

This tribe united with that of Gad in asking permission to settle in the \"land of Gilead,\" \"on the other side of Jordan\" (Num 32:1). The lot assigned to Reuben was the smallest of the lots given to the trans-Jordanic tribes. It extended from the Arnon, in the south along the coast of the Dead Sea to its northern end, where the Jordan flows into it (Jos 13:15, Jos 13:23). It thus embraced the original kingdom of Sihon. Reuben is \"to the eastern tribes what Simeon is to the western. 'Unstable as water,' he vanishes away into a mere Arabian tribe. 'His men are few;' it is all he can do 'to live and not die.' We hear of nothing beyond the multiplication of their cattle in the land of Gilead, their spoils of 'camels fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand' (Ch1 5:9, Ch1 5:10, Ch1 5:20, Ch1 5:21). In the great struggles of the nation he never took part. The complaint against him in the song of Deborah is the summary of his whole history. 'By the streams of Reuben,' i.e., by the fresh streams which descend from the eastern hills into the Jordan and the Dead Sea, on whose banks the Bedouin chiefs met then as now to debate, in the 'streams' of Reuben great were the 'desires'\", i.e., resolutions which were never carried out, the people idly resting among their flocks as if it were a time of peace (Jdg 5:15, Jdg 5:16). Stanley's Sinai and Palestine. All the three tribes on the east of Jordan at length fell into complete apostasy, and the time of retribution came. God \"stirred up the spirit of Pul, king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria,\" to carry them away, the first of the tribes, into captivity (Ch1 5:25, Ch1 5:26).\n\nReuel Friend of God. (1.) A son of Esau and Bashemath (Gen 36:4, Gen 36:10; Ch1 1:35). (2.) \"The priest of Midian,\" Moses' father-in-law (Exo 2:18) = Raguel (Num 10:29). If he be identified with Jethro (q.v.), then this may be regarded as his proper name, and Jether or Jethro (i.e., \"excellency\") as his official title. (3.)

He rules that one should eat bread unless one feels too full from the previous meal. Furthermore, he states (OC 291:4) that lechem mishnah is required, although the Rema observes that there is a common practice to have only one whole loaf at Seudah Shelishit (see Taz 291:4).\n\nA prevalent misconception is that one can fulfill the obligation of having a Third Meal with words of Torah. Where did this misconception come from? Most likely from the unique halachot of erev Pesach that falls out on Shabbat. When this occurs, and neither bread nor matzah may be eaten in the afternoon, the obligation to eat Seudah Shelishit is difficult to fulfill. The Talmud (Pesachim 13a) records that when erev Pesach falls out on Shabbat, one should leave over chometz for two Shabbat meals\u2014Friday night and Shabbat morning. Rashi explains that food for three meals is not needed because the afternoon meal cannot be eaten; thus, when erev Pesach falls on Shabbat, there is a requirement for two meals only.\n\nSome rabbinic authorities, however, do not endorse canceling the Third Meal, and they offer numerous suggestions on how to fulfill the obligation: 3\n\n1. Divide the morning meal into two meals; 2. Have the third meal in the afternoon with cooked or fried matzah meal or matzah ashirah; 3. Have the meal in the afternoon with fruit, meat, or products made from potato starch.\n\nThe Magen Avraham (444:2) cites a radically different option. He quotes the Shlah, who writes in the name of the Zohar (Parashat Emor, on the verse \u201celeh moadei,\u201d 95a), that Rav Shimon bar Yochai (Rashbi) studied Ma\u2019aseh Merkavah (Ezekiel 1) in lieu of the Third Meal when erev Pesach was on Shabbat. Thus it appears that according to the Zohar, the obligation to eat the Third Meal can be fulfilled via Torah study. The Gra, however, (444:7) understands the Zohar to mean that Seudah Shelishit can only be fulfilled with bread, and that when erev Pesach falls out on Shabbat, the obligation to eat Seudah Shelishit is canceled. So too, the Meiri (Pesachim 13a) opines that when erev Pesach falls out on Shabbat, there is no obligation to eat Seudah Shelishit. This position is elaborated on by the Aruch Hashulchan (OC 444:6), who explains that just like when Yom Kippur falls out on Shabbat there is no obligation of Seudah Shelishit, similarly, on erev Pesach that falls out on Shabbat the obligation is canceled.\n\nOthers disagree with the Gra and Aruch Hashulchan, maintaining that there is an obligation of Seduah Shelishit on erev Pesach. The Kaf HaChaim (444:18) says that Rav Shimon Bar Yochai did fulfill his obligation to eat Seudah Shelishit via learning because he understood the kabbalistic meaning behind the obligation and could accomplish the purpose of the mitzvah through his learning. The rest of us, writes the Kaf HaChaim, are obligated to eat a meal. It is best, he adds, to eat Seudah Shelishit and learn as well.\n\nErev Pesach Shechal B\u2019Shabbat (Rabbi Zvi Cohen [Bnei Brak, 5754], chap. 21, note 30) states that based on the Zohar, the Chatam Sofer fulfilled the mitzvah of Seudah Shelishit on yom tov with Torah study.

Shu\u201dt Divrei Yatziv, Likutim v\u2019Hashmatot, siman 126) relates to this topic. Rav Yoshe Ber Soloveichik of Brisk (the great-grandfather of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, the Rav) was once at an inn for Shabbat and there was no lechem mishnah for Seudah Shelishit. One of those accompanying him asked: Why don\u2019t we fulfill the obligation with divrei Torah? In a clever retort, Rav Soloveichik stated that the possibility exists that one of those present might refute the chiddushim that he would say; in that case, there would be neither food nor Torah, and the obligation to have Seudah Shelishit would not be fulfilled! It\u2019s best, he implied, that they fulfill the mitzvah by eating.\n\nThe Shulchan Aruch (OC 291:1) stresses the importance of the mitzvah of eating Seudah Shelishit, writing that a person should be \u201cvery careful to fulfill this obligation\u201d and should not overeat at the second Shabbat meal to ensure that he will have an appetite at the Third Meal. In fact, Seudah Shelishit is deemed so important that one is obligated to give charity in order to provide a poor person with three meals on Shabbat (Shulchan Aruch, YD 250:4).\n\nInterestingly, one often finds people who are not conscientious about eating Seudah Shelishit all year long engaging in all kinds of halachic contortions to eat Seudah Shelishit on erev Pesach.

If I was feeling down, or hung over, or tired, I wouldn\u2019t go.\n\nIf I made that decision ONCE, and never questioned it, then it would never be a matter of self discipline or having to choose \u2013 it was simply \u201csomething I always did.\u201d\n\nI\u2019m a fan of January experiments. Rather than New Year\u2019s resolutions, I just try something for January.\n\nSo, whatever I\u2019ve decided, I\u2019m just doing it for that month. No questions, no choices, I just am.\n\nTherefore, I never have to make another decision (during January).\n\nEg, one year I read a book a day, every day. One year I ate nothing but raw vegan food (which was so awesome I ended up doing it the whole year). This year I\u2019ve done no caffeine.\n\nBy making one decision, rather than 31, it makes the whole thing much easier on me.\n\nYou can ALSO use\u00a0EFT\u00a0to radically reduce the amount of repetition required to learn a new habit. First tap OUT what you\u2019re currently doing. Then tap IN the new behaviour you want. It works a treat \u2013 that\u2019s how I passed my first major Aikido grading.\n\nBut let\u2019s get back to our monkey.\n\nSome things you simply can\u2019t side step with the \u201cone decision\u201d approach. Eg, learning to meditate. Or to be kind to ourselves.\n\nIn these situations, we really do have to constantly (as much as we can remember) go back and repeat, and repeat and repeat the same action over and over until it sinks in.\n\nWhat are we ACTUALLY doing here?\n\nYes, we\u2019re training our monkey mind.\n\nWe are also, in a very real sense, exerting our authority over ourselves.\n\nWe\u2019re reminding ourselves of the truth that \u201cI\u2019m the boss.\u201d\n\nRemember how we\u2019re not our mind, not our body and not our emotions?\n\nWell, when our thoughts or emotions start going haywire, this is when reminding ourselves that we\u2019re the boss becomes super important.\n\nIf we remind ourselves who\u2019s in charge, it strengthens our power over those parts of ourselves that are causing problems.\n\nEvery time we let go of a non loving thought, say, or relax and let go when we get upset by something, we\u2019re strengthening our control over our monkey mind.\n\nWe\u2019re strengthening our authority over ourselves.\n\nWe\u2019re becoming MORE the boss of ourselves.\n\nAnd, like any muscle, the more we exercise it, the stronger we become.\n\nThe stronger our self discipline. The more authority we create. The easier it becomes for us to retain control over ourselves and our situation.\n\nThe more we remind ourselves that we\u2019re the boss, the more true it will become.\n\n\nViktor Frankl, Auschwitz survivor\n\nSo.

ITV Report\n\nLack of sleep damaging academic development of children\n\nResearch published today has revealed that the academic development of British children is being significantly affected by dangerously low levels of sleep.\n\nThe findings have revealed that 36 per cent of primary school age children get eight hours or less sleep a night Credit: ITV News\nNo. hours NHS recommends children should sleep each night\nProportion of primary school age children getting seven hours sleep or less according to findings\n\nThe study, carried out by the University of Leeds in conjunction with Silentnight, looks into the effect of bedtime routines and the impact on quality of life of 6-11 year olds.\n\nLed by Dr Anna Weighall, a developmental cognitive psychologist with expertise in sleep research, this is the first major study to characterise children's sleep habits in the UK and has been conducted after consultation from more than a thousand parents.\n\nThe findings have revealed that 36 per cent of primary school age children get eight hours or less sleep a night and 15 per cent get seven hours or less. Such low levels of sleep are likely to have a negative impact on a child's ability to function in the classroom and reach key milestones.\n\nDr Anna Weighall has explained how the findings were particularly concerning, with the low levels reported likely to impair long term cognitive and academic development in children.\n\nPoor routine could be to blame, with 83 per cent of children reporting being awake by 6:30am on a weekday despite five per cent still being awake at 10pm the night before and 16 per cent still being awake at 9pm.\n\nOur results show that children who experience inadequate sleep are more likely to have problems paying attention in class, forgetting things and keeping up with school work, and may then end up missing school because they feel unwell.\n\nWhat's clear from our data is that parents know how much sleep children should be getting but for whatever reason it's not being made a priority and children just aren't getting the necessary time in bed. From looking into bedtime and waking patterns we can see that families are consistently going to bed late during the week and on top of this children are regularly having later nights at weekends, disrupting their sleep patterns and contributing to problems during the school week.\n\nWe also looked into the amount of sleep parents are getting to get a clear picture of family life and routine and we found that many parents are also getting chronically low levels of sleep.\n\nNearly 50 per cent report getting six hours or less a night and an even more concerning 24 per cent get five hours or less. As well as being associated with a whole host of health problems including cardiovascular disease and obesity, these levels amongst parents could be significantly impacting children's sleep.\n\nThere are clear indications from our research that suggest by addressing their own sleep patterns, parents could dramatically improve their children's overall wellbeing and academic performance.\n\n\u2013 Dr Anna Weighall\n\nAs well as poor routine the research found technology to be a key contributing factor to lack of sleep amongst children, even from the age of six.\n\nThe findings show that children who have smartphones or tablets in the bedroom sleep less than those who leave their devices out of the bedroom - losing up to an hour of sleep a night compared to", "base_doc": " to meditate.\n\nAnother (slightly more boring) description for this might be \u201clearning self discipline.\u201d\n\nNow, there are a few tricks that can help here.\n\nFor example, if you\u2019re trying to develop a habit, don\u2019t make it something you have to choose to do every day, make a choice once and stick with that.\n\nI\u2019ll give you an example.\n\nWhen I was training Aikido regularly, I would go to EVERY training session.\n\nIt could be 6am and so cold we trained in hats and gloves; I\u2019d go.\nIt could be pouring with rain (we trained outside); I\u2019d go.\nIt could be 42 degrees C; I\u2019d go.\n\n\nBecause I knew if I had to make a choice every day whether to go or not, I\u2019d be weak. If I was feeling down, or hung over, or tired, I wouldn\u2019t go.\n\nIf I made that decision ONCE, and never questioned it, then it would never be a matter of self discipline or having to choose \u2013 it was simply \u201csomething I always did.\u201d\n\nI\u2019m a fan of January experiments. Rather than New Year\u2019s resolutions, I just try something for January.\n\nSo, whatever I\u2019ve decided, I\u2019m just doing it for that month. No questions, no choices, I just am.\n\nTherefore, I never have to make another decision (during January).\n\nEg, one year I read a book a day, every day. One year I ate nothing but raw vegan food (which was so awesome I ended up doing it the whole year). This year I\u2019ve done no caffeine.\n\nBy making one decision, rather than 31, it makes the whole thing much easier on me.\n\nYou can ALSO use\u00a0EFT\u00a0to radically reduce the amount of repetition required to learn a new habit. First tap OUT what you\u2019re currently doing. Then tap IN the new behaviour you want. It works a treat \u2013 that\u2019s how I passed my first major Aikido grading.\n\nBut let\u2019s get back to our monkey.\n\nSome things you simply can\u2019t side step with the \u201cone decision\u201d approach. Eg, learning to meditate. Or to be kind to ourselves.\n\nIn these situations, we really do have to constantly (as much as we can remember) go back and repeat, and repeat and repeat the same action over and over until it sinks in.\n\nWhat are we ACTUALLY doing here?\n\nYes, we\u2019re training our monkey mind.\n\nWe are also, in a very real sense, exerting our authority over ourselves.\n\nWe\u2019re reminding ourselves of the truth that \u201cI\u2019m the boss.\u201d\n\nRemember how we\u2019re not our mind, not our body and not our emotions?\n\nWell, when our thoughts or emotions start going haywire, this is when reminding ourselves that we\u2019re the boss becomes super important.\n\nIf we remind ourselves who\u2019s in charge, it strengthens our power over those parts of ourselves that are causing problems.\n\nEvery time we let go of a non loving thought, say, or relax and let go when we get upset by something, we\u2019re strengthening our control over our monkey mind.\n\nWe\u2019re strengthening our authority over ourselves.\n\nWe\u2019re becoming MORE the boss of ourselves.\n\nAnd, like any muscle, the more we exercise it, the stronger we become.\n\nThe stronger our self discipline. The more authority we create. The easier it becomes for us to retain control over ourselves and our situation.\n\nThe more we remind ourselves that we\u2019re the boss, the more true it will become.\n\n\nViktor Frankl, Auschwitz survivor\n\nSo. How do we do this?\n\nTypically the times when we need to remind ourselves of this (and thus train our monkey) is when our thoughts or emotions are off in the corner hooting \u2018n hollering, scratching their metaphorical arses and flinging shit around.\n\nWe are NOT our thoughts or emotions, so by stepping outside these for a moment, we can regain control.\n\nThe simple act of reminding ourselves \u201cI\u2019m the boss\u201d will often be enough to help calm us and help us drop whatever is bothering us.\n\nThe usual suggestions apply, of tapping (if possible \u2013 or even just the chest point) will help damp our energy systems enormously, or releasing, if we\u2019re slightly more in control.\n\nWe can remember that our reaction is simply a picture, and drop that.

They might buy boot polish, but it's so unlikely as to be a complete waste of money putting a Kiwi voucher through the door.\"\n\nOn the other hand, the patterns might show quite clearly that 5,000 people bought something called \"product A\" and \"product B\" and \"product C\" and went on to buy \"product D\" three weeks later. So if you can dig out all the people who bought A, B and C but have not yet bought D, and mail them, you're clearly looking at a common pattern. So drop them a discount voucher for D!\n\nAnd D turns out to be baby clothes, and the man of the household is vastly amused: \"Darling, look at this! Those idiots at Sainsbury's are sending us baby clothes vouchers! As if we would want to start a family!\" - and she says, turning pink and coughing: \"Dear, I've been meaning to tell you, I've missed my last period...\"\n\nAnd this actually happened. As you can imagine, the angry letters poured in: \"Who told you...!?\" and the project was subtly modified.\n\nThat's how spooks work. They don't care what you're talking about until they know you're a threat. They work out whether you're a threat or not by looking for patterns (and in deference to my friends in Cheltenham, I won't go into much more detail) in your ordinary, everyday behaviour, which betrays who your friends are. Most of that information is stuff you'd never think to make secret.\n\nAnd this is the important part - you'd never think to ask Parliament to say: \"Protect me from this!\"\n\nNow, your credit card records are commercially confidential, but are they a State-protected secret? Your electricity bill payments, your bank statements, your phone call bills, your email address book...your Oyster card details for the subway rail, your fuel purchases...is any of that prohibited for Government databases?\n\nWhy would you care?\n\nNow, look at the success of Touching the Void. It languished on the remainder list for two years until Amazon started telling people who read a different book on mountain climbing: \"We see that people who read what you're reading, enjoyed this!\"\n\nOr look at the way Tivo works. It matches the sort of TV you actually watch with what you record, and actually anticipates your interest in new series' which you haven't even heard of yet, based on viewing patterns which it recognises.\n\nWhere am I going with this?\n\nImagine that you have an unfortunate trend in your thinking. Imagine that you find yourself following a train of thought which matches a sequence which has been seen before among enemies of the Government.\n\n\"Great!\" you say. \"This means that the enforcement people can actually anticipate terrorist acts? Spot potential terrorists before they even realise they're on the path to mayhem?\"\n\nNo. Not terrorists, just enemies. Hostile journalists, campaigning lobbyists, critical journalists, businessmen who are likely to sponsor rival parties, people who oppose the party leader's favourite idea of the year.\n\nYou, yourself, possibly don't realise where you're heading.

They might buy boot polish, but it's so unlikely as to be a complete waste of money putting a Kiwi voucher through the door.\"\n\nOn the other hand, the patterns might show quite clearly that 5,000 people bought something called \"product A\" and \"product B\" and \"product C\" and went on to buy \"product D\" three weeks later. So if you can dig out all the people who bought A, B and C but have not yet bought D, and mail them, you're clearly looking at a common pattern. So drop them a discount voucher for D!\n\nAnd D turns out to be baby clothes, and the man of the household is vastly amused: \"Darling, look at this! Those idiots at Sainsbury's are sending us baby clothes vouchers! As if we would want to start a family!\" - and she says, turning pink and coughing: \"Dear, I've been meaning to tell you, I've missed my last period...\"\n\nAnd this actually happened. As you can imagine, the angry letters poured in: \"Who told you...!?\" and the project was subtly modified.\n\nThat's how spooks work. They don't care what you're talking about until they know you're a threat. They work out whether you're a threat or not by looking for patterns (and in deference to my friends in Cheltenham, I won't go into much more detail) in your ordinary, everyday behaviour, which betrays who your friends are. Most of that information is stuff you'd never think to make secret.\n\nAnd this is the important part - you'd never think to ask Parliament to say: \"Protect me from this!\"\n\nNow, your credit card records are commercially confidential, but are they a State-protected secret? Your electricity bill payments, your bank statements, your phone call bills, your email address book...your Oyster card details for the subway rail, your fuel purchases...is any of that prohibited for Government databases?\n\nWhy would you care?\n\nNow, look at the success of Touching the Void. It languished on the remainder list for two years until Amazon started telling people who read a different book on mountain climbing: \"We see that people who read what you're reading, enjoyed this!\"\n\nOr look at the way Tivo works. It matches the sort of TV you actually watch with what you record, and actually anticipates your interest in new series' which you haven't even heard of yet, based on viewing patterns which it recognises.\n\nWhere am I going with this?\n\nImagine that you have an unfortunate trend in your thinking. Imagine that you find yourself following a train of thought which matches a sequence which has been seen before among enemies of the Government.\n\n\"Great!\" you say. \"This means that the enforcement people can actually anticipate terrorist acts? Spot potential terrorists before they even realise they're on the path to mayhem?\"\n\nNo. Not terrorists, just enemies. Hostile journalists, campaigning lobbyists, critical journalists, businessmen who are likely to sponsor rival parties, people who oppose the party leader's favourite idea of the year.\n\nYou, yourself, possibly don't realise where you're heading. They do. They can now take action, as appropriate.\n\nAppropriate action? Well, they could, of course, target you for a hearts and minds educational campaign so that you see things from a better point of view. Or it could be hostility: arrange a Customs or VAT inspection, or start a smear campaign, or search aggressively for accounting irregularities.\n\nAll based on guilt by association. They may not know exactly what is in your heart. But they know who you associate with, and what other people are doing who went down that path. All that is an open book to someone with access to all your email, all your search queries, all the sites you visited, all the phone calls you made, all the books you bought or ordered from the library. \"People who read this, also bought...\"\n\nYou should go to Amazon and tweak its database. Give it a chance to work out which books you bought for Auntie Ena, which records you gave to your mother, which bits of hardware you got as a present for a kid, and which were things you wanted for you.

Stopping The Clean Power Plan\n\nTrump ordered the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to revisit Obama\u2019s CPP. Rolling back these rules and regulations should get the U.S. closer to energy independence and spur job growth.\n\nIf implemented, CPP would have cost a staggering $41 billion annually, which equates to about $10.74 a month for each American. Less than 39 percent of Americans would be willing to spend that level of extra cash to fight global warming, according to a poll. The Clean Power Plan would have only averted 0.019\u00b0 Celsius of warming by the year 2100, an amount so small it can\u2019t be detected, according to analysis by the libertarian Cato Institute using models created by the Environmental Protection Agency.\n\nTrump promised to eliminate the CPP, drawing criticism from environmentalists and Democrats, but earning praise from coal miners and companies who want to stay in business.\n\n2. Changing How The Government Interprets The National Environmental Policy Act\n\nAn executive order issued by Trump this week simplified a complex environmental permitting process implemented under Obama. The shift alters how the federal government interprets the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to make it easier for companies, individuals and government entities to get environmental permits.\n\nPresident Obama had changed the way the government interpreted the act in a way that made permitting very difficult and enabled environmental lawyers to easily sue the government.\n\n\u201cThat indeed was accomplished with the stroke of a pen, since it was just a stroke of Obama\u2019s pen that put it in place,\u201d Sgamma told TheDCNF. \u201cHowever, several policies put in place by the agencies, 29 by our count, will still need to be unraveled. Since most did not go through the formal rule-making process, it will be easier.\u201d\n\nNEPA requires federal agencies to prepare environmental assessments or environmental impact statements before undertaking any major policy changes.\n\n3. Removing Strict Coal Mining Regulations\n\nTrump has already rolled back the Department of Interior\u2019s Stream Protection Rule which was rushed onto the books shortly before Obama left office. The rule makes it much harder to mine coal on federal lands.\n\nU.S. coal production is already rising again and could bring jobs back with it, according to a Wednesday report from the federal Energy Information Administration (EIA).\n\n\u201cAt least we\u2019ve got a shot at it under Trump,\u201d Jeff Keffer, CEO of the coal company Longview Power, previously told The Daily Caller News Foundation. \u201cIf Clinton had won, the requirements of the Clean Power Plan and the inability to replace old plants would have eventually just killed coal entirely in the 2020s.\n\nAmerica has 83,000 fewer coal jobs and 400 fewer coal mines than it did when Obama was elected in 2008, demonstrating the former president followed through on his pledge to \u201cbankrupt\u201d the coal industry.\n\n4. EPA Denying Green Requests To Have Agency Ban Major Pesticide\n\nTrump-appointed EPA administrator Scott Pruitt formally rejected a petition to ban a pesticide called chlorpyrifos Wednesday, calling it crucial to U.S. agriculture.\n\nDuring the Obama administration, heavy environmentalist pressure caused the EPA to consider banning chlorpyrifos over concerns that it contaminates drinking water and food. However, the EPA\u2019s own analysis found that \u201cthere do not appear to be risks from exposure to chlorpyrifos in food.\u201d The agency\u2019s own website says chlorpyrifos is safe for humans in \u201cstandard\u201d amounts.\n\nChlorpyrifos has been used on citrus fruits, apples, broccoli and various other crops since 1965. U.S. farms use about 6 million pounds of chlorpyrifos each year. If nothing had changed legally, the EPA would no longer have allowed incredibly small trace amounts of chlorpyrifos in food, effectively banning the pesticide in the U.S.\n\n", "base_doc": "er\n\nGood news: They often pay a premium for an acquisition, as much as 8X-10X EBITDA.

Committee on Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling\n\nI had the honor of testifying on July 17 before the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on the subject of lithium-ion battery recycling in the United States.\u00a0 The Senate\u2019s interest in the topic is timely, given NAATBatt\u2019s just ended workshop on the same subject in Buffalo, New York.\u00a0 A copy of my oral testimony is reproduced below.\u00a0 The longer and more detailed written version of my testimony can be seen by clicking here:\n\nOral Remarks\n\nGood morning Chairman Barrasso, Ranking Member Carper, and members of the Committee.\u00a0 My name is James Greenberger.\u00a0 I am the Executive Director of NAATBatt International, a trade association of about 120 corporations and research institutions working to promote advanced battery technology and the industries it will power in North America.\n\n\u00a0The subject of my testimony is the important role that recycling of lithium-ion batteries can play in developing new industry and supporting reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.\n\nAdvanced battery technology will be one of the most important technologies of the 21st Century.\u00a0 Lithium-ion battery chemistry, which was invented in the United States, represents the most powerful new battery technology widely used in commerce today.\u00a0 Lithium-ion batteries not only power but enable electric vehicles, wearable and implantable medical devices, mobile robotics, consumer electronic devices, drones, the Internet of Things, high energy weapons and a variety of other, new electric devices.\n\nSeveral new technologies will shape human society in the 21st Century.\u00a0 Advanced battery technology will be but one of them.\u00a0 But advanced battery technology is unique in that it will enable many of those other technologies.\u00a0 Nations wanting leadership in those technologies will need a vibrant advanced battery industry within their borders.\n\nFor the United States to have a vibrant lithium-ion battery industry, it needs to ensure that U.S.-based manufactures have access to the energy materials and compounds needed to manufacture batteries.\u00a0 Few of those energy materials, such as lithium, nickel and cobalt, are found in great quantities in the United States and almost none of the chemicals into which those energy materials must be processed to make batteries are manufactured here.\n\nRecycling lithium-ion batteries used in the United States offers a partial solution to this supply chain problem.\u00a0 Recycling batteries can create a strategic reserve of battery materials, which can provide supply and some assurance of price stability to domestic manufacturers.\u00a0 Building a strong lithium-ion industry in the United States is critically important.\u00a0 Few other industries have the potential to create more jobs, both upstream and downstream of their immediate products, than advanced battery manufacturing. \u00a0As we have long pointed out at NAATBatt:\u00a0 He who makes the batteries will one day make the cars.\u00a0\n\nRecycling high voltage lithium-ion batteries is also important for the environment and for public safety.\u00a0 Making lithium-ion battery cathode materials from recycled batteries can use as little as 18% as much energy, 23% as much water, and produce only 9% as much SOx emissions as producing those compounds from virgin materials.\n\nRecycling high voltage lithium-ion batteries at the end of their useful lives also removes them from potential contact with incautious adults and curious children.\u00a0 A high voltage battery no longer powerful enough to power a car is still powerful enough to electrocute a human being.\u00a0 Recycling lithium-ion batteries is a matter of public safety as well as good environmental stewardship.\n\nBut recycling lithium-ion batteries in the United States has a major problem:\u00a0 It is impossible using current recycling technology to make money from recycling most lithium-ion batteries.\u00a0 The costs of shipping, storing and recycling those batteries is simply greater than the revenues to be made from selling the recycled materials.\u00a0 As a consequence fewer than 5% of lithium-ion batteries reaching the end of useful life are recycled in the United States today.\n\nNew recycling technologies, such as the direct recycling technology being developed at the Department of Energy\u2019s new ReCell Center, may in time change this dynamic.\u00a0 But unless and until it does, the only way to recycle lithium-ion batteries will be to require consumers, directly or indirectly, to pay for the costs of recycling.\n\nElectric vehicles and stationary energy storage of renewably generated electricity are powerful tools in the fight against greenhouse gas emissions.\u00a0 Imposing recycling costs on consumers, on top of the still expensive cost of lithium-ion batteries, will inevitably impact market demand and greenhouse gas mitigation efforts.\u00a0 It is essential that recycling costs be kept as low as possible.\n\nI would respectfully recommend that the Committee consider four actions to protect U.S",

He felt genuinely upset about Imprint\u2019s death, though he had to admit it was simply one of the risks that came with the job. Perhaps Decimus might propose something to fix the apparent safety issue, but Rolt severely doubted it. If things continued smoothly, Rolt had no complaints.\n\n After a few moments of silence, a representative approached Rolt, muttering into his audio receptor that Decimus was about to begin his speech, before continuing across the platform. Hands wringing in anticipation, Rolt made his way to the side of the platform with him.\n\n The Senator, surrounded by several large body-guards, stepped into view and took his place at the podium. Frak would, at times, wonder what separated a miner from military or security as far as body-types went. Seeing the security working for Decimus reminded her. She and the other miners were large, but they were also hunch-backed, bulbous, disproportionate, and clumpy. The body-guards were just as large, but they were also streamlined, well proportioned, and carried airs of elegant professionalism, despite having fists as large as regular bots\u2019 torsos, and arms capable of punching through solid Cybertanium steel. Each of them were armed with path-blasters. Each of them scanning the small crowd for a reason to shoot.\n\n Decimus appeared to loosen his collar as he gazed upon the seven watching miners from above. His moistened his lip-plates and began to speak.\n\n \u2018My fellow Cybertronians\u2026\u2019 he seemed to wince after speaking this, as if distressed by something. He restarted. \u2018Miners of Outpost Beta-13,\u2019 A bodyguard raised a hand as if to correct Decimus\u2019 mistake, but quickly decided better of it and retracted his servo. Decimus continued. \u2018As always, I come to congratulate you on a job well done. Without you and your hard work, we would not possess the Energon required to power our cities, our electronics, our machines, our super-computers, our interchanging roadways, our security systems, or even ourselves. You are the spinal-strut of modern Cybertronian society, as without you, none of us, none of what we are\u2014would exist. If it weren\u2019t for you, we would still be living in the Cybertronian wilderness\u2014still in the possession of primitive bestial forms rather than the far more advanced and convenient vehicular configurations we are lucky enough to be forged with today.\u2019\n\n Rolt couldn\u2019t help but feel upset by this statement. As he transformed into a camera outlet, and nothing remotely vehicular whatsoever. He knew Decimus felt nothing of it, but even still, the lack of consideration in his word choice left him feeling empty\n\n Decimus went on. \u2018As a Senator\u2014as a leader of our planet: the glorious mother Cybertron, I make sure to address even the smallest mining colonies, in even the harshest of climates. For every shape serves a purpose, and every one of us is worthy of Primus\u2019 respect. Now, on to matters of business.\u2019\n\n Rolt involuntarily relieved himself.\n\n \u2018As Beta-11 is what could be considered\u2026 undermanned. I understand that the frequent loss of personnel requires a constant boost in numbers. As such, I have brought a suitable number of fresh miners eager to get to work. I expect you all to welcome them with open arms. The two whom I consider our top candidates go by the names of Drillhorn and Drill-bit.\u2019\n\n \u2018Oh, get the hell out of dodge!\u2019 Rushcut shouted suddenly.\n\n Decimus ignored her. \u2018I have also received word of certain technical issues with the mines.\u2019\n\n Imprint\u2019s partner raised his head to this, and began listening intently to the Senator.\n\n Decimus smiled warmly. \u2018The lighting issues in the mines shall be fixed in no less than a mega-cycle. I thank you for your patience on the matter. I bid you all farewell.\u2019 Decimus turned to one of his guards as the miners began exchanging glances.\n\n Imprint\u2019s partner marched towards the podium.\n\n \u2018Oh, my god,\u2019 Frak said, grabbing Rushcut and pointing towards the massive mech.\n\n \u2018Oh no\u2026 what is he going to\u2014?\u2019\n\n \u2018I\u2019m not looking. I\u2019m not looking.\u2019\n\n Each of the miners whispered amongst themselves of what was about to occur. All but Terminus, who stared at the scene through wide, and determined optics.\n\n \u2018Excuse me!\u2019 the mech shouted from the foot of the stage.\n\n Rolt, noticing this, brought his hands to his face and screamed internally.\n\n Decimus blinked down at him, surprised to witness one of the miners speaking back to him for once. Despite his guards\u2019 protests to proceed, he chose to respond. \u2018Er\u2026 yes?\u2019\n\n \u2018Are you sure you\u2019re not forgetting something? Maybe something about the reliability of the support beams used to keep the mines secured?\u2019\n\n Decimus blinked, then shook his head and smiled. \u2018I don\u2019t believe so, no.\u2019\n\n Imprint\u2019s partner placed his hands behind his back in response to this. \u2018Well I\u2014I dunno, I just thought it was important. Considering someone died in a cave-in\u2014specifically because of defective equipment.\u2019\n\n Decimus frowned, and slowly began to make his way off the stage. \u2018Well, I\u2019ll consider discussing it with my colleagues when I get the chance. But I believe we supply you with equipment tested to be above the level of solidity required to be used in mining operations. If they fail for whatever reason, then that is simply a matter you yourself need to take into consideration when doing your job.\u2019 He continued off the stage.\n\n \u2018Wait-wait-wait, before you go,\u2019 the mech said, preventing him from walking off once more. \u2018I feel like I didn\u2019t make myself clear. Somebody died. They\u2019re dead now.\u2019\n\n \u2018No, I understand,\u2019 Decimus spoke, nodding sagely. \u2018It is a shame, yes. But miners perishing in accidents is quite common. In fact, there are miners expiring all over the planet due to one accident or another. It is simply one of the risks of the job, as you are already well familiar with.\u2019\n\n The mech\u2019s servos clenched around the edge of the stage. \u2018That really doesn\u2019t hamper the issue at hand. If anything, it means this issue should have been resolved ages ago!\u2019\n\n Decimus seemed to shrug. \u2018Again, I will speak of this in my next\u2014,\u2019\n\n \u2018Just one more question,\u2019 Imprint\u2019s partner said, raising his hand.\n\n Decimus seemed hesitant to answer, but did so anyway, convinced he was invulnerable thanks to the protection of his guards at his disposal. \u2018Yes?\u2019\n\n \u2018Will you suck my aft?\u2019\n\n The guards, the miners, and Rolt stared at him with their jaws dropped. Rumble and Frenzy fell into a chaotic laughter. Rolt relieved himself for a second time. His optics seething with yellow energy.\n\n \u2018Sorry, maybe I didn\u2019t make myself clear again, will you suck my oily aft?\u2019\n\n \u2018I\u2014I\u2014,\u2019 Decimus was speechless, he had never been spoken to in such a way.\n\n \u2018Will you take your moist, squishy, hyper-glossed, upper-class lips, wrap them around my puckered aft-shoot, and suck the grease that I dispense from it? I just\u2014I want to be sure you\u2019re getting this.\u2019\n\n \u2018Why I\u2026\u2019 Decimus looked as though he were about to fall into emergency stasis-lock.\n\n \u2018I\u2019m sorry, it\u2019s just\u2014I like it when people suck on my aft.

All but Terminus, who stared at the scene through wide, and determined optics.\n\n \u2018Excuse me!\u2019 the mech shouted from the foot of the stage.\n\n Rolt, noticing this, brought his hands to his face and screamed internally.\n\n Decimus blinked down at him, surprised to witness one of the miners speaking back to him for once. Despite his guards\u2019 protests to proceed, he chose to respond. \u2018Er\u2026 yes?\u2019\n\n \u2018Are you sure you\u2019re not forgetting something? Maybe something about the reliability of the support beams used to keep the mines secured?\u2019\n\n Decimus blinked, then shook his head and smiled. \u2018I don\u2019t believe so, no.\u2019\n\n Imprint\u2019s partner placed his hands behind his back in response to this. \u2018Well I\u2014I dunno, I just thought it was important. Considering someone died in a cave-in\u2014specifically because of defective equipment.\u2019\n\n Decimus frowned, and slowly began to make his way off the stage. \u2018Well, I\u2019ll consider discussing it with my colleagues when I get the chance. But I believe we supply you with equipment tested to be above the level of solidity required to be used in mining operations. If they fail for whatever reason, then that is simply a matter you yourself need to take into consideration when doing your job.\u2019 He continued off the stage.\n\n \u2018Wait-wait-wait, before you go,\u2019 the mech said, preventing him from walking off once more. \u2018I feel like I didn\u2019t make myself clear. Somebody died. They\u2019re dead now.\u2019\n\n \u2018No, I understand,\u2019 Decimus spoke, nodding sagely. \u2018It is a shame, yes. But miners perishing in accidents is quite common. In fact, there are miners expiring all over the planet due to one accident or another. It is simply one of the risks of the job, as you are already well familiar with.\u2019\n\n The mech\u2019s servos clenched around the edge of the stage. \u2018That really doesn\u2019t hamper the issue at hand. If anything, it means this issue should have been resolved ages ago!\u2019\n\n Decimus seemed to shrug. \u2018Again, I will speak of this in my next\u2014,\u2019\n\n \u2018Just one more question,\u2019 Imprint\u2019s partner said, raising his hand.\n\n Decimus seemed hesitant to answer, but did so anyway, convinced he was invulnerable thanks to the protection of his guards at his disposal. \u2018Yes?\u2019\n\n \u2018Will you suck my aft?\u2019\n\n The guards, the miners, and Rolt stared at him with their jaws dropped. Rumble and Frenzy fell into a chaotic laughter. Rolt relieved himself for a second time. His optics seething with yellow energy.\n\n \u2018Sorry, maybe I didn\u2019t make myself clear again, will you suck my oily aft?\u2019\n\n \u2018I\u2014I\u2014,\u2019 Decimus was speechless, he had never been spoken to in such a way.\n\n \u2018Will you take your moist, squishy, hyper-glossed, upper-class lips, wrap them around my puckered aft-shoot, and suck the grease that I dispense from it? I just\u2014I want to be sure you\u2019re getting this.\u2019\n\n \u2018Why I\u2026\u2019 Decimus looked as though he were about to fall into emergency stasis-lock.\n\n \u2018I\u2019m sorry, it\u2019s just\u2014I like it when people suck on my aft. It\u2019s one of my dirty pleasures. And I like stupid, nobles with big, aft-sucking lips to do it. I\u2019m looking for someone with some biiiiig lips to give the ol\u2019 backside a good suck, and I was wondering if you could be that aft-sucker I was looking for.\u2019\n\n Decimus reached into his chest compartment and pulled out a cloth, which he used to dab at his helm. \u2018Why I never\u2026\u2019\n\n One of the guards ushered Decimus off the stage, and away from the miners. \u2018How dare you refer to a member of the Senate in such a way!\u2019\n\n The mech smirked. \u2018Are you gonna do anything about it?\u2019\n\n In a flash, the Guard whipped out a pistol and fired it at the Miner. A mechanism sprang out and attached itself to his chest, causing shocks to run through the mech\u2019s body, slowly forcing him into his vehicular mode. When the transformation completed, Imprint\u2019s partner was rendered still, and silent.\n\n \u2018Gotta love a good mode-lock.\u2019 The guard said, before looking over to Rolt. \u2018You\u2019d better deal with him.\u2019\n\n As the guards proceeded to depart with Decimus, Rolt sprang after them.\n\n \u2018Ohmygodohmygod, I am so, so sorry Senator Decimus.

Amazing how the two people that responded to his letter felt that they could not do so without name-calling, condescension, and spite. It's a wonder why people like Mr. Gardiner (and myself) can't seem to have a good time in San Diego! What with all of the open, intellectual minds and all. Here's how it is: People have a right to their opinions. That being said, Benjamin H. and Goatskull are welcome to their happy, sunny views of the city where we all live.

Can you believe that people actually enjoy different things than other people? For the record, my boyfriend and I moved down here two years ago (from the Bay Area) because this is where he got accepted to grad school. So I guess you could say that we did, in fact, have to move here. It is ridiculous to suggest that we can \"always [just] leave\". I have met plenty of people around here who are waiting for the day when they can move back home, just as we are. For now, we try and make the best of it. I don't begrudge the happy people their happiness. Glad you like it here! Good for you! And when people say they don't enjoy the Bay Area, do I take it personally? No! It's just different strokes for different folks. Yes, the sunsets down here are nice. No, the scads of image-obsessed bubbleheads are not.

As a matter of fact, people like that are often the butt ends of jokes by that majority of people who live in and love San Diego. If nothing else they are just sort of a comical part of the atmosphere. BTW, I\u2019ve seen no shortage of people who fit that description at Chrissy Field during the summer, so the Bay Area (which I love as a matter of fact) has its share also. The bay area is quite the beer drinking sports bar kind of town. Maybe even more so than here. People up there love their Niners and there Giants. It\u2019s quite the microbrew town too (which is a good thing).\n\nAnyway the most two most laughable things he said was \u201cthe rest of us will suffer in silence\u201d and the part about his relatives from Hawaii considering this a redneck town, something even you acknowledged was silly. If part of why he hates it here is because he puts of with mock and ridicule from people like oh well.\n\n\nSign in to comment\n\nJoin our", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 137424, "pt_loc": 20040898, "pt_shuffle_idx": 8011444, "doc_index_f": 12561426, "doc_index_l": 12561426, "offset_f": 230, "offset_l": 2278, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 233, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]}

Administrative center, Basse-Terre.\n\nHistorical survey. In 1674, Guadeloupe was declared the property of the French crown. In 1666, 1691, and 1703 the English attempted to take over Guadeloupe. In 1759 they succeeded in capturing the island, but under the Paris Peace Treaty of 1763, Guadeloupe was returned to France. In 1794 the British again invaded the island. However, the commissioner of the Convention, Victor Hugues, was sent to Guadeloupe, where he declared the Negro population free, armed it, and in 1794 managed to expel the British. Guadeloupe in fact remained an independent republic until 1802, when an expedition dispatched by Napoleon restored the previous colonial system on the island, including slavery (abolished in 1848). In 1805 the French Civil Code was put into force on the island. In 1810 the British recaptured Guadeloupe, but returned it to France in 1816 under the Treaty of Paris.\n\nColonial dominance led to a one-sided development of Guadeloupe\u2019s economy; only the agricultural branches intended for export developed (sugarcane, bananas, coffee, and cacao). At the end of the 19th century a number of industrial enterprises were built to process agricultural produce, which led to the appearance of an industrial proletariat in Guadeloupe.\n\nDuring World War II the first communist groups sprang up in Guadeloupe, and in 1958 the Guadeloupe Communist Party (GCP) was founded. The struggle of Guadeloupe\u2019s population to abolish the colonial regime compelled the ruling circles of France to initiate certain reforms. In 1946, Guadeloupe received the status of an overseas department. However, the one-sided character of the economy (France accounts for 75 percent of the exports and 90 percent of the imports) and the peculiarity of the administrative structure promote the preservation of many features of the colonial order in Guadeloupe. The basic demand of progressive forces is that Guadeloupe be granted autonomy.\n\n\nEconomy. Guadeloupe is a backward agrarian country. Twenty-seven percent of the territory is cultivated, 10 percent is pastures and meadows, 31 percent is forest, and other lands make up 32 percent. Principal agricultural crops for export are sugarcane (25,000 hectares [ha], 162,000 tons of unrefined sugar in 1968-1969), bananas (8,000 ha, 180,000 tons), coffee, and cacao. Vanilla and citrus fruits are also grown. Cattle, goats, and hogs are raised. There is fishing, and agricultural produce is processed, mainly for the production of sugar and rum. There are approximately 2,000 km of roads. The main commercial and industrial center and port is Pointe-\u00e0-Pitre. Guadeloupe exports bananas, sugar, and rum and imports fuel, equipment, raw materials, and transportation vehicles. The monetary unit is the French franc.\n\nEducation. The public education system in Guadeloupe is based on French legislation. Schooling is conducted in French. Children are admitted to primary school at the age of six. Primary school with a five-year period of schooling is considered mandatory, but in 1961 more than 21 percent of the population above 15 years of age was illiterate. The period of education in a complete secondary school (lyc\u00e9e) is seven years and in an incomplete one (college), four years. There are no higher educational institutions. In 1966-67 more than 65,000 pupils attended primary schools, more than 15,000 attended secondary schools, 2,700 people attended vocational training institutions, and 101 persons attended normal school.\n\n\n\n", "base_doc": " department and administrative region of France (2005 est. pop. 449,000), 687 sq mi (1,779 sq km), in the Leeward Islands, West Indies.

As more and more schools become less traditional in how or when they hold commencement ceremonies, they may differ slightly. One constant is that a student\u2019s graduation is the formal gathering held to recognize the achievement of completion for the student\u2019s area of study.\n\nPreparing For the Ceremony\n\nIn preparation for their big day, students must be sure they have completed all the necessary coursework and projects. Once they receive approval they can then begin making plans to have family and friends attend the ceremony to watch them receive their degree. For high school and college, where celebrating the ceremony is a huge production, formal invitations are sent, students purchase a cap and gown to wear across the stage and supplementary events are planned.\n\n\nThe commencement program varies not only in the class level of students such as elementary versus college but in the type of school. Some very traditional schools have a strict program including speeches by school dignitaries and class leaders. Some pride themselves in going against the grain by arranging celebrity speakers and entertainment during the ceremonies. For grade schools, the program is usually a short one where a teacher or two may speak to the kids, and the principal might say a few words. After the kids\u2019 names are called, they are dismissed to celebrate.\n\nWalking the Stage\n\nStudents who participate in the commencement ceremonies walk across the stage to greet the school principal, dean or president to pick up their diplomas. The diploma is the printed certificate of completion students use as keepsake, often framed and hung on a wall. In preparation for walking across the stage, students wear their cap and gown and are seated with their colleagues throughout the program, awaiting their name to be called. As each student\u2019s name is called, they walk across the stage, shake hands with their school official, receive their diploma and go back to their seats. At the conclusion of the ceremony, students usually stand at their seats and are acknowledged as an entire class by the attendees.\n\nPost Ceremony Celebrations\n\nThe after-party of a commencement ceremony is just about as popular \u2013 and for some, important \u2013 as the ceremony itself. Just as much, if not more planning goes into place. Following the ceremony, guests usually gather to await the students to be released so they can congratulate them in person, take some photos and then plan to meet new grads at another location for a private party.

-{"pt_doc": " minutes or 3 hours, you can add this information, which can be useful for planning.\n\nNozbe doesn't have sub projects or sub tasks. You can put a checklist into a task. These can't be reordered though, and you have to keep opening the task to access the checklist. You can also leave comments on tasks and projects, to keep track of status, roadblocks, or changes. One of their videos suggests using project comments to track your motivation. Why did you want to get this done? You can use this when you want to use the project functionality to track a goal.\n\nYou can also color-code tasks and projects. This can provide a visual trigger. I use red for high-priority projects so they stand out. Blue I use for goals, because I find it pleasing.\n\nNozbe also has a web client, but this is blocked at work. Another drawback to Nozbe is it doesn't background sync well. If I forget to sync it deliberately in the morning, I'll get to my cubicle and find out it didn't sync since last night. Then I have to go all the way outside (I don't get a signal in the office) and wait for it to sync over cellular in an area where I have a weak signal, if any. This hinders me some days when I rely on Nozbe to keep track of what I need to do for me, which is the point.\n\nNozbe syncs to Google Calendar, so when you have a task that has to be done on a certain day, it shows up on your calendar. This is useful. It also syncs to Evernote and Dropbox. I wish they'd add OneDrive, which I use far more.\n\n\nWunderlist is another one I've played with off and on since it first appeared on the scene, but I haven't given it enough attention to evaluate it very well. The free version is simple and powerful and syncs across all devices. They have apps for both Windows Phone and Windows 10. When I got a Windows Phone in early 2014, Wunderlist was the only major task management system available for it. They pro version is $25 for a year, which is fairly inexpensive.\n\nLike Nozbe, you can add a checklist to a task in Wunderlist. And you can reorder this checklist. You can easily drag and drop tasks between lists. However, you can't add a context to a task. I think this might be available on pro. That means you can't make a task both a context and part of a project, because you have to use lists for this and you can't put a task in two lists. But you can have sub lists, and I think sub tasks.\n\n\nI downloaded Todoist this past weekend, and haven't played with it much yet. Like Wunderlist, it seems simple and easy. But features like contexts and notes are only available in the Pro version. They offered me a free month of pro, so I might take advantage of it to try it out. It also seems available on every platform.\n\n\nI've used Evernote pretty much since the beginning. I used Evernote 1, and was a beta tester for Evernote 2. Most of you learned about Evernote in 2008, when it became version 3 and expanded to multiple platforms and offered a cloud sync. Evernote originally was blue, and was based on being an infinite scroll. In 2008, they brought in some investors and a new CEO, who was a Mac user. This inspired the change.\n\nSome people use Evernote for all their task management. Others think of it as a \"digital file cabinet\". I keep my journal in Evernote. You can create checklists, and highlight and markup text, but it doesn't have OneNote's ability to add other symbols.\n\nOne funny thing about Evernote: it was originally designed for tablets, and had the ability to write with a stylus. In Evernote 1 and 2, I used to draw with the mouse cursor. Their handwriting and image text recognition goes back to Evernote 2. That was one of the things I had to test out as a beta tester. This functionality disappeared in Evernote 3, and was added back in within the last year or two, even though it's been on tablets for years.\n\nMicrosoft OneNote\n\nThis is another one I've used since the beginning. OneNote was another program originally designed for tablets (Microsoft had a tablet edition of Windows 98; I think even 95 OSR 2 could run on tablets). Handwriting in OneNote disappeared for several years.\n\nThe problem I have with OneNote is its best feature is ONLY available in the Windows desktop client. Not in the Windows Store client. This is the \"find tags\". I use this at work a lot. I take meeting notes, capture actions and other important topics, then use \"find tags\" to go back through and make sure they get into Nozbe and Evernote in my personal task management system. But I can't use this on my Mac, iPad, or Note. Hell, the Android version of OneNote can't even open password protected notes. Fail, Microsoft.\n\nThe Mac and mobile clients have a feedback mechanism. They claim to encourage you to submit feedback. I've submitted several requests for \"find tags\" in the other clients, but so far whenever I see an update and check the notes, it's something stupid like \"bug fixes\" or some other functionality I don't care about.\n\nBut, through OneDrive, OneNote syncs across all of your devices.\n\nFor now, I see both Evernote and OneNote as a way to take notes or save information and capture action items that must then be put into Nozbe so I can get them done. Evernote can function as a document scanner through your phone's camera. They have an app, Scannable, for iOS. When I was buying my house earlier this year, I used Scannable for documents I had to submit, including my 110 page divorce agreement because the mortgage company insisted on it. But at least now I have it in pdf format.\n\nApple Reminders\n\nI know people who use Reminders heavily. For me, they're too limited for anything besides asking Siri things like \"Remind me to take the pizza out of the oven in 20 minutes\". \u00a0(Hell, Siri is still too limited for anything besides that). David Allen Company publishes a guide showing you how to use them for GTD.\n\nI still haven't used apps like Omnifocus or Things, which still seem to be Mac and iOS centered. I think one of them may have a Windows client now. They also seem a little too expensive.\nPost a Comment<|endoftext|>the Duke turned his attention to the Duchess's\npart in the business, and, after much cogitation, somebody triumphantly\nannounced that he had discovered her function.

Most of you learned about Evernote in 2008, when it became version 3 and expanded to multiple platforms and offered a cloud sync. Evernote originally was blue, and was based on being an infinite scroll. In 2008, they brought in some investors and a new CEO, who was a Mac user. This inspired the change.\n\nSome people use Evernote for all their task management. Others think of it as a \"digital file cabinet\". I keep my journal in Evernote. You can create checklists, and highlight and markup text, but it doesn't have OneNote's ability to add other symbols.\n\nOne funny thing about Evernote: it was originally designed for tablets, and had the ability to write with a stylus. In Evernote 1 and 2, I used to draw with the mouse cursor. Their handwriting and image text recognition goes back to Evernote 2. That was one of the things I had to test out as a beta tester. This functionality disappeared in Evernote 3, and was added back in within the last year or two, even though it's been on tablets for years.\n\nMicrosoft OneNote\n\nThis is another one I've used since the beginning. OneNote was another program originally designed for tablets (Microsoft had a tablet edition of Windows 98; I think even 95 OSR 2 could run on tablets). Handwriting in OneNote disappeared for several years.\n\nThe problem I have with OneNote is its best feature is ONLY available in the Windows desktop client. Not in the Windows Store client. This is the \"find tags\". I use this at work a lot. I take meeting notes, capture actions and other important topics, then use \"find tags\" to go back through and make sure they get into Nozbe and Evernote in my personal task management system. But I can't use this on my Mac, iPad, or Note. Hell, the Android version of OneNote can't even open password protected notes. Fail, Microsoft.\n\nThe Mac and mobile clients have a feedback mechanism. They claim to encourage you to submit feedback. I've submitted several requests for \"find tags\" in the other clients, but so far whenever I see an update and check the notes, it's something stupid like \"bug fixes\" or some other functionality I don't care about.\n\nBut, through OneDrive, OneNote syncs across all of your devices.\n\nFor now, I see both Evernote and OneNote as a way to take notes or save information and capture action items that must then be put into Nozbe so I can get them done. Evernote can function as a document scanner through your phone's camera. They have an app, Scannable, for iOS. When I was buying my house earlier this year, I used Scannable for documents I had to submit, including my 110 page divorce agreement because the mortgage company insisted on it. But at least now I have it in pdf format.\n\nApple Reminders\n\nI know people who use Reminders heavily. For me, they're too limited for anything besides asking Siri things like \"Remind me to take the pizza out of the oven in 20 minutes\". \u00a0(Hell, Siri is still too limited for anything besides that). David Allen Company publishes a guide showing you how to use them for GTD.\n\nI still haven't used apps like Omnifocus or Things, which still seem to be Mac and iOS centered. I think one of them may have a Windows client now. They also seem a little too expensive.\nPost a Comment<|endoftext|>May 14, 2005\n\nA glamorous but slightly pervy rest stop on Route 90.\n\nThe Belvidere Oasis on Route 90 just north of Chicago is the most glamorous rest stop I've ever seen.

Each dream is also far too short, which must be mentioned. There isn't enough time for any to make an impression because they're all over before they even begin. There isn't enough time given to draw one in and develop interest. It kept me disconnected by shifting to a new story with every blink of an eye.

I can't call it a bad film. Admittedly, I did enjoy some of the segments to various degrees, and the style is just amazing. The colors! The music! Martin Scorsese! Some of the segments have really nice editing and rhythm, too, especially the first two ([i]Sunshine Through The Rain[/i] and [i]The Peach Orchard[/i]). But for all its jaw dropping worth, it's simply too insubstantial. Segments are too short and too obvious to develop any kind of connection with myself as a viewer.

Running only 45 minutes long, it is a short film about a brief relationship between a young musician, Sasha (Igor Fomchenko) and a construction worker, Sergei (Vladimir Zamansky). Sasha is the violin and Sergei the steamroller of the film's title. It is a simple, sentimental tale of making friends in unlikely places, and what each character teaches the other. Sasha represents the artist, and Sergei the everyday working man. The film is ultimately about how the artist can inform the working man, and vice versa; it is about what each has to offer to the other.\n\nThere are political and social motives at work behind this film, as we see in the artist and working man relationship of the narrative and the backdrop of old Russia being torn apart in the advent of a new Russia being built. Unfortunately, what I know of Russian history is little, and thus I'm not the person to be asking about specifics, as I have no idea exactly what Tarkovsky is looking at in late 1950s Russia. I can, however, tell you whether or not the narrative, the story being told, works. It sort of does, but not nearly as much as I would have liked. And the style is poor. Tarkovsky is still a student and it does show.\n\nThe cast of the film does effective work all around, and at times [u]The Steamroller and the Violin[/u] can be a charming, enjoyable film. Unfortunately, the characters and the main relationship are really short changed. That could be because of the short runtime, but given the laid back pace and an extremely long introduction, there was more than enough time to explore this relationship more. As it is, it feels rather contrived, like Tarkovsky was just content to throw them together suddenly, run through a few scenes, arrive at a climax that is underwhelming and unaffecting thanks to all the short changing, and end the film. Tarkovsky just doesn't give enough to work with. Honestly, the film feels rather rote, like Tarkovsky just stuck it on autopilot. The style would seem to confirm that.\n\nTarkovsky's camera doesn't do much here, and the visuals aren't too impressive. There is much that works, however, and there are some very memorable images. But for all that is good, there is a lot that isn't, such as the opening scene with the kids harassing Sasha. Poorly shot, poorly edited, and the whole \"kids picking on the musician\" thing was handled improperly, resulting in some unintentional comedy. I do sort of like the film, though. As I said, the cast is effective, and Tarkovsky does have his moments, and it's an often charming film. Some wonders are worked here despite the lack of material. I especially enjoyed a sequence where Sasha sort of flirts with a young girl while he waits for his violin lesson to begin. It captured childhood at its most innocent and playful. Still, I needed more. There just wasn't enough material, and thus the film just sort of peters out by the end, and I found myself unaffected and unengaged. It's a really rough, unimpressive package. Worth seeing only for exploring Tarkovsky's roots and completing his filmography.

I remembered nothing of it, other than not really liking it much. Many people have since told me of how great it is, and how much better its sequel, [u]Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust[/u], is. So, alright, I decided, I'll give [u]Vampire Hunter D[/u] another chance before seeking out and watching the sequel. I hate to disappoint all you fans out there, but the only thing rewatching this film has done is remind me of why I didn't like it. This film just plain sucks (pun fucking intended).\n\nI can best sum this film up as being vapid and insubstantial. There is absolutely nothing interesting about the plot. In comes vampire hunter. Vampire hunter storms castle, rescues girl, goes back to castle, defeats Count. Exit vampire hunter. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, since it's only 80 minutes long, but good Lord the film just has such little story. There was barely enough story here for a 20 minute short film. So it follows, too, that there is absolutely no substance. This isn't a case of style over substance; this is completely style, zero substance. The characters are barely defined, have no reasons for many of their motivations, and basically just do what the plot asks of them. It's terribly weak, and terribly boring.

While we have an intrinsic desire to seek it, few know how it can actually be found.\n\nHence, short-term pleasure often prevails over long-term joy.\u00a0 False security, based in external factors such as corporate and government benefits, is confused for the true security of Soul Purpose.\n\nSelfish greed replaces selfless service, pride trumps humility and true confidence, and stifling fear crowds out the beauty of love.\n\nAll of these counterfeits are a result of living from the ego-self, rather than the God-self. Finding happiness requires an understanding of who you really are\u2014that you are a spirit in a body that has a mind. You are not your body, nor are you your mind.\n\nThe vehicle in the journey of life is your body, while your mind is the on-board computer. Your spirit is you, the driver. Living a life that is driven by physical urges and/or mental calculations is like a car attempting to drive itself.\n\nTrue happiness is found by connecting with your God-self and bringing your Soul Purpose to the world in the most meaningful, powerful, and sustainable way possible.\n\nThe Spiritual Realm: The Mode of Transportation\n\nThere are three realms that we choose to live in and to take our mode of being from: the physical realm, the mental realm, and the spiritual realm. The physical realm is obviously the purview of the body\u2014those operating from this realm are controlled by physical appetites such as food, alcohol, drugs, sex, etc.\n\nIn the mental realm we raise our consciousness slightly by using our reasoning ability, yet we are controlled by the mind.\n\nIn the spiritual realm we access the highest plane of reality, the realm from which we can control both the body and the mind.\n\nSuppose you lived in New York and you wanted to get to London.

In the physical and mental realms you do have certain parameters of mobility, yet you\u2019re navigating in the wrong places.\n\nThe \u201cjet\u201d of the spiritual realm allows you to fly over the prohibitive ocean of the ego-self in all its manifestations.\n\nYou cannot reach the destination of happiness through Soul Purpose in the physical and mental realms. It is impossible. The only way to reach your desired destination is to get into and stay in the spiritual realm.\n\nBy doing so you transcend the limitations of the body and the mind and access infinite power, a power that few even know exists.\n\nSpiritual Disciplines: The Fuel\n\nWhat would happen if you tried to put automobile fuel into a jet engine? It wouldn\u2019t operate, of course. Having the spiritual realm \u201cjet\u201d is not enough; you must also have the proper fuel to make it fly.

Although there are infinite manifestations of each, every individual has one of these roles as their primary Soul Purpose theme.

No, I don't necessarily seek it out, and it may not send me runnng back to the Stephen King shelf,\u00a0 but I don't want to turn a blind eye, either. Life is not all sweetness and light, even in fiction. If we are to protect ourselves from horror, we have to acknowledge that it exists.\n\nThe better writers\u00a0 (of horror) try to put horror --whether sensational or private---in some perspective, tell us why it has come to pass, or how we can come to terms with it or with the part of it than hunkers down inside us all.\n\nWhat I thought was especially interesting about this story was the way King set up the second act: If the rape victim goes to the police, she believes that the potential for ensuing publicity \u2014 she IS something of a public figure \u2014 would destroy her career. She feels that the women who reads the Willow Grove Knitting Society mysteries would have a hard time associating the author they love with the sort of crime they find abhorrent, and ultimately they would stop buying her books because they don't want to think about rape and brutalization.\n\n\nAnd doing nothing is not an option, she also reasons, because the rapist has her purse with all her ID.

I don't read King, but I also don't believe that King belongs to the school of gross violence involving mutilations etc.\n\nAnd yes, I also find many cozies offensive because they play parlor games (Clue?) with murder. The older cozies generally have a character who is morally dispensable (an unkind and unpleasant person without significant usefulness to society) as a victim.\u00a0 Where there are multiple victims (AND THEN THERE WERE NONE?) most of the people are marked for death by their background. That posits that some people need killing and the rest is a game.\u00a0 The more modern cozies tend to be frivolous in one way or another, and most still cling to the puzzle solving.\u00a0 That, I suppose, is also a somewhat childish hobby.\u00a0\n\nthe delicious shiver, knowing that one is safe.\n\nWell, hoping we are, anyway!\u00a0 But in thinking that, perhaps we do revert to our childhoods.:)\n\n\nNot so much to revel, perhaps, as to reassure themselves. The story is a story, not real life.\n\nI don't read much \"horror\" fiction, but I do write (and often read) gritty suspense/thriller fiction in which very bad things happen to people. Enormous numbers of people, many of them women, read this type of fiction. I suggest (I'm not the first to do so) that one of the reasons they read it is because in most of these novels, the killer (male or female) gets punished in the end. In real life, murders often escape and run free for years. Examples abound with the serial killers who've murdered dozens of people without being caught.\n\nI also believe that readers of romance fiction (mostly women) adore the genre because they experience very little romance in their lives. Ditto with romantic movies. I know a woman who saw Pretty Woman five times. Five times!! Some may disagree, but I think a fantasized image of a prostitute wooing and winning an obstreperous rich guy (who all along had a heart of gold but couldn't show it) is just as bad as a movie that depicts violence in a realistic way.\n\nDo I ever have to turn away when I see violence on the screen? Yes, the cut off the ear scene in Reservoir Dogs. Couldn't handle that one. But the movie itself was utterly fascinating, a crime as told and seen through the viewpoints of the several criminals.\n\n\n\n\nWhat are \"cozies\"?\nDescendants of the Agatha Christie mysteries with tea-drinking, knitting old ladies solving murders committed in pleasant, small towns or villages.

We have developed a model system consisting of CHO cells ectopically expressing the alpha IIb beta 3 integrin to study integrin affinity and cytoskeletal interactions during cell migration. The alpha IIb beta 3 integrins are suited for study of integrin receptors during cell migration because they are well characterized with respect to ligand binding, cytoskeletal interactions, and signal transduction, and mutants with altered receptor function are available. The alpha IIb beta 3 receptor specifically mediates migration of alpha IIb beta 3-transfected CHO cells. The migration of transfected CHO cells was studied on a fibrinogen substrate both by time lapse videomicroscopy and by random and haptotactic transwell assays. Haptotactic and random transwell assays measured distinct aspects of migration, with the random transwell assay correlating most closely with time lapse videomicroscopy. Mutations in the cytoplasmic domains that increase ligand affinity or activation of the alpha IIb beta 3 receptor into a high affinity state by the LIBS6 antibody decreased the migration rate. Likewise, mutations that increase cytoskeletal organization without affecting affinity also decreased the migration rate. In contrast, truncation of the beta chain, which alters cytoskeletal associations as assayed by absence of focal adhesions, decreased haptotactic migration while increasing random migration. These effects on the migration rate were partially compensated for by altering substrate concentration, demonstrating optimum substrate concentrations that supported maximal migration. For example, cells expressing integrins locked in the high affinity state showed maximal migration at lower substrate concentrations than cells expressing low affinity receptor. Together, these results implicate the strength of adhesion between cell and substrate, as modulated by receptor affinity, organization of adhesive complexes, and substrate concentration, as important regulators of cell migration rate. Further, we demonstrate a dominant effect of high affinity integrin in inhibiting migration regardless of the organization of adhesive complexes. These observations have potential implications for tumor metastasis and its therapy.\n\nThis content is only available as a PDF.<|endoftext|>I do not know whether he read my books.

MISERY is the one where the female holds the writer prisoner, right?\u00a0 King has a curious perspective on what women are capable of.\u00a0 I'm not saying he is wrong, but . . .\n\nHorror was the main ingredient in the fairy tales grandmothers told their grandchildren.\u00a0 My take on that is that little kids need to be exposed to the dangers in life.\u00a0 Why adults revel in the stuff escapes me.\n\nRight on, I.J.\n\nI saw the film Misery.\u00a0 Kathy Bates, one of my favorite actresses, did a fine job, but I still had to turn my head and cover my ears when she was about to break (I assume) his knees.\u00a0 I simply cannot stomach that kind of \"stuff.\"\u00a0 I am not sure that I knew the story was by Stephen King.\u00a0 Too long ago.\n\n\nWhy adults revel in the stuff escapes me.\n\n\nBecause they really never grow up?\n\nPossibly, but I like Dana's explanation: the delicious shiver, knowing that one is safe. I don't read King, but I also don't believe that King belongs to the school of gross violence involving mutilations etc.\n\nAnd yes, I also find many cozies offensive because they play parlor games (Clue?) with murder. The older cozies generally have a character who is morally dispensable (an unkind and unpleasant person without significant usefulness to society) as a victim.\u00a0 Where there are multiple victims (AND THEN THERE WERE NONE?) most of the people are marked for death by their background. That posits that some people need killing and the rest is a game.\u00a0 The more modern cozies tend to be frivolous in one way or another, and most still cling to the puzzle solving.\u00a0 That, I suppose, is also a somewhat childish hobby.\u00a0\n\nthe delicious shiver, knowing that one is safe.\n\nWell, hoping we are, anyway!\u00a0 But in thinking that, perhaps we do revert to our childhoods.:)\n\n\nNot so much to revel, perhaps, as to reassure themselves. The story is a story, not real life.\n\nI don't read much \"horror\" fiction, but I do write (and often read) gritty suspense/thriller fiction in which very bad things happen to people. Enormous numbers of people, many of them women, read this type of fiction. I suggest (I'm not the first to do so) that one of the reasons they read it is because in most of these novels, the killer (male or female) gets punished in the end. In real life, murders often escape and run free for years. Examples abound with the serial killers who've murdered dozens of people without being caught.\n\nI also believe that readers of romance fiction (mostly women) adore the genre because they experience very little romance in their lives. Ditto with romantic movies. I know a woman who saw Pretty Woman five times. Five times!! Some may disagree, but I think a fantasized image of a prostitute wooing and winning an obstreperous rich guy (who all along had a heart of gold but couldn't show it) is just as bad as a movie that depicts violence in a realistic way.\n\nDo I ever have to turn away when I see violence on the screen? Yes, the cut off the ear scene in Reservoir Dogs. Couldn't handle that one. But the movie itself was utterly fascinating, a crime as told and seen through the viewpoints of the several criminals.\n\n\n\n\nWhat are \"cozies\"?\nDescendants of the Agatha Christie mysteries with tea-drinking, knitting old ladies solving murders committed in pleasant, small towns or villages. Also cat mysteries and anything that involves a special profession usually associated with women: i.e. catering, hairdressing, antiquing, crafts, gardening, etc. The devil's advocate suggests instead a hooker as a detective.\nThanks, I.J.\n\n\nCrimeSpace Google Search\n\n\u00a9 2020 \u00a0 Created by Daniel Hatadi. \u00a0 Powered by\n\nBadges \u00a0|\u00a0 Report an Issue \u00a0|\u00a0 Terms of Service<|endoftext|>Integrin cell surface adhesion receptors play a central role in mediating cell migration. We have developed a model system consisting of CHO cells ectopically expressing the alpha IIb beta 3 integrin to study integrin affinity and cytoskeletal interactions during cell migration. The alpha IIb beta 3 integrins are suited for study of integrin receptors during cell migration because they are well characterized with respect to ligand binding, cytoskeletal interactions, and signal transduction, and mutants with altered receptor function are available. The alpha IIb beta 3 receptor specifically mediates migration of alpha IIb beta 3-transfected CHO cells. The migration of transfected CHO cells was studied on a fibrinogen substrate both by time lapse videomicroscopy and by random and haptotactic transwell assays. Haptotactic and random transwell assays measured distinct aspects of migration, with the random transwell assay correlating most closely with time lapse videomicroscopy. Mutations in the cytoplasmic domains that increase ligand affinity or activation of the alpha IIb beta 3 receptor into a high affinity state by the LIBS6 antibody decreased the migration rate. Likewise, mutations that increase cytoskeletal organization without affecting affinity also decreased the migration rate. In contrast, truncation of the beta chain, which alters cytoskeletal associations as assayed by absence of focal adhesions, decreased haptotactic migration while increasing random migration. These effects on the migration rate were partially compensated for by altering substrate concentration, demonstrating optimum substrate concentrations that supported maximal migration. For example, cells expressing integrins locked in the high affinity state showed maximal migration at lower substrate concentrations than cells expressing low affinity receptor. Together, these results implicate the strength of adhesion between cell and substrate, as modulated by receptor affinity, organization of adhesive complexes, and substrate concentration, as important regulators of cell migration rate. Further, we demonstrate a dominant effect of high affinity integrin in inhibiting migration regardless of the organization of adhesive complexes. These observations have potential implications for tumor metastasis and its therapy.\n\nThis content is only available as a PDF.<|endoftext|>Interesting procedures with lawsuit loans\n\nclass action lawsuit loan modification\n\nDemand, also known as lawsuit loans, is a procedure that allows litigants or law firms to fund the legal costs of the case and with the help of a third party finance company. This procedure consists of cash advance companies and third parties, in exchange for a percentage of the total amount that the court will decide for the litigant is returned to the company, once the case is won. The lawsuit loans, the financier is not eligible for anything and the litigant is released from the responsibility of making any payment. However, it is entirely on the funding of political parties to decide whether the loan should be sanctioned to the plaintiff or not. To obtain this benefit, finance company must be convinced that the case has sufficient merit. Therefore, if you are short of funds to participate in a legal battle and has all the evidence to prove his innocence in the matter in dispute, contact a qualified company with the ability to demand advance payment.\n\nDemands, especially civilians, take a good portion of time before reaching a conclusion. What we need in this situation, apart from qualified legal assistance, there is enough money to fund the case.

I just couldn't afford to go to the university anymore. So I started doing some painting. And I probably did odd jobs somewhere in order to keep going. Anyhow, because of my experience with, with drawing and planning stage settings, well, I had accommodated to drawing and, and color and gotten fairly good at it. So it was very easy for me to shift into doing something in painting. Which I did. Which was environmental. I was fascinated by the landscape because basically there was nothing there but a few accents. And I could do something with that. Anyhow, that was Depression times, that was about '34, '35 I guess it was. Uh, I was so poor that I would go down to the Rio Grande River and, uh, seasonally I would try to fish and get fish for, for my lunch. But when I built my fire to cook my fish I found I could make charcoal sticks out of the cottonwood. It was great charcoal material. And then I salvaged paper from the, from the Alburquerque Tribune newspaper. I'd go to their trash heap and salvage sheets of newsprint. That was newspaper.\n\n\nED GARMAN: For printing. That had been unused. So I'd use charcoal and newsprint and was drawing with that for a long time. So I got more and more involved in painting because there was nothing else to do. There were no jobs around. And my education was interrupted. And that was about '35 or '36. And I'd been studying contemporary history, art history. At that time the artists that were hot in America were Tom Benton and Grant Wood and a Midwesterner named [John Stueart] Curry. And several others who were doing the American scene.\n\nDERRICK CARTWRIGHT: Yeah, let's talk about that. What was your feeling about those artists and what they were doing?\n\nED GARMAN: Well, I took a, I made a trip back to Kansas City in about '35 or '36. And Kansas City had a very, very fine museum. And they had Bentons and Currys and Woods, and along with all the other fine artists at the east coast. And I studied them and I marveled at their technique enormously. But emotionally I couldn't get a hold of, of what, what their consequences were. Where, where was it going and what did it do? Naturally, the critics of that time were drumming up the excitement for that nationalistic point of view in America. Which I didn't feel very strong about. And, uh, I'd been studying new Mexican painters. Particularly the mural painters, Diego Rivera, Orozco and Siqueiros and several of the others. And, uh, I thought well, I ought to go down there and see what they were really doing and how it affected the, the painting environment. So I went down there. I think it was about 1937, maybe the end of '36. I stayed there for six months. And I got into their milieu so to speak. And I found out that their mural painting was primarily a, a nationalistic, uh, advertising campaign for their own people. Just like ours in America. Our nationalistic point of view. Furthermore, the artists truly weren't interested. They did a good job, but it was primarily a work project for them that kept them going to do their individual work.\n\nDERRICK CARTWRIGHT: How did you discover that?\n\nED GARMAN: Well, because one, uh, I would visit the sites of the muralist and the muralists were never there. Now, there's plenty of work to do in making murals besides being up there with the pallet and the plaster.\n\n\nED GARMAN: But I never found Diego Rivera at work. I never found Orozco at work. Or I never found Siqueiros. They all had murals going at this time that I was there. There was an artist named [Alfredo Ramos] Martinez who later came to America.\n\n\nED GARMAN: And did mural work up here.\n\nDERRICK CARTWRIGHT: Right here in San Diego.\n\nED GARMAN: Yeah. I found something of his in there that he was working on. And I watched him work and I could see how, how the technique was so vital to the, to the results of the, of the murals. But anyhow, I got acquainted with the, the people who were doing the work. And I asked, 'Where are these men?' 'Well, they're back at their studio preparing what they call cartoons,' I think they were. And that's quite a job to make these huge cartoons because they're basically what the muralist uses to trace his drawings, transferring his little drawings to, to cartoons and on up to the, to the, the site. So that was a very interesting thing. And again I found out that the pursuit of the, of the nationalistic scene wasn't giving me anything. And wasn't really giving those artists anything. They were very good at it. They knew what they were doing. They knew what they were selling, but it was a thing that had a very strong period at the end of it. And as we know today, they're primarily tourist attractions. They're not working anymore in the light of the, the needs of their time. It was to drum up national interest and that's what it did. Anyhow, they were very beautiful. I went out over to Cuernavaca, which is about 40 miles west of Mexico City on the way to Acapulco. And there were some very beautiful Diego Rivera murals in Cuernavaca, which were simply just made beautifully using the revolutionary theme. But they were exquisitely done. And I recognized a great artist that was there, working there. And of course, eventually I met Orozco at his studio.

The lenders have fashioned various loans with all the \u201cbells and whistles\u201d to capture your custom. In essence, the most valuable loan feature has not really changed, that being the flexibility to place more payments off your loan.\n\nSince the last Reserve bank reduction of the Official cash rate, the financial institutions reduced their mortgage rates to less than the RBA 0.25%. Presently, we see and experience the lowest home loan rates in over 60 years.\n\nThis has enabled potential borrowers to purchase a property in a higher price range , thereby having to increase their potential home loan. However, recent data has shown that home loan borrowers entering into Mortgage Default is on the rise.\n\nThere are a number of ways that a potential borrower can avoid a Mortgage Default.

The lenders have fashioned various loans with all the \u201cbells and whistles\u201d to capture your custom. In essence, the most valuable loan feature has not really changed, that being the flexibility to place more payments off your loan.\n\nSince the last Reserve bank reduction of the Official cash rate, the financial institutions reduced their mortgage rates to less than the RBA 0.25%. Presently, we see and experience the lowest home loan rates in over 60 years.\n\nThis has enabled potential borrowers to purchase a property in a higher price range , thereby having to increase their potential home loan.

As he wanders through the acrid, remote terrain, he approaches a dusty village and heads for a run-down watering hole. Once he enters the darkness of the nearly deserted establishment, he reaches for a handful of ice and falls flat into a faint.\u00a0 \u00a0\n\nWhen Travis wakens, he is with the local doctor, Doctor Ulmer (Bernhard Wicki), who, because Travis does not speak, assumes him to be a mute or an amnesiac. Ulmer finds contact information on Travis and gets in touch with Travis\u2019 brother, Walt (Dean Stockwell), in Los Angeles. A shocked Walt explains to his wife, Anne (Aurore Clement), Travis, missing for more than four years, has turned up.\n\nMoving Travis from Texas to L.A. by car, Walt eventually gets him to speak, but he is not ready to explain why he left. As the brothers continue their strained roadtrip, Walt uncomfortably tells Travis he and Anne are raising Travis\u2019 now 7-year-old son, Hunter (Hunter Carson). Walt explains that Jane (Nastassja Kinski), devastated after Travis abandoned both her and their child, left Hunter with them so she could try to start a new life.\n\nLater, reaching Walt and Anne\u2019s home, Travis and Hunter reunite. While Hunter is timid toward the father he cannot remember, he is curious about Travis, and the two gradually form a bond. Travis eventually asks about Jane. Anne tells him she is somewhere in Houston because she makes monthly deposits there into an account for Hunter. Travis feels he needs to seek Jane out and try to fix the damage he has done. Father and son set out on a road trip to find Jane and, they hope, to pull their estranged family together.\n\nThe internationally acclaimed feature Paris, Texas was a collaboration between two celebrated artists, German film director Wim Wenders and American playwright Sam Shepard. Working with ideas inspired by Wenders\u2019 \u201croad movie trilogy,\u201d Alice in the Cities (1974), The Wrong Move (1975) and Kings of the Road (1976), and Shepard\u2019s short-story collection Motel Chronicles (1983), the two artists conceived a handful of characters and their quests for reconciliation and meaning. They intended to create a story that would unfold en route across the American Southwest and spent time driving through that terrain, writing and taking photographs along the way.\n\nWenders turned to his longtime cinematographer, Robby M\u00fcller, NSC, BVK, to bring an immediate, \u201creal-life\u201d quality to the narrative and make the most of the film\u2019s omnipresent but silent character, the road. M\u00fcller and Wenders developed an unusual strategy for the project, making no specific plans for each day\u2019s shooting. Both artists felt it was more important for the performances and settings to dictate where the camera would be placed. Often relying on available light, M\u00fcller would shoot the actors as naturally as possible. While this unusual \u201cno-plan\u201d practice often resulted in very long shooting hours, the end result is a unique visual landscape that remains one of the film\u2019s strongest qualities.\n\nWith all of its memorable exteriors and detailed interior lighting setups perfectly represented, The Criterion Collection recently introduced Paris, Texas in the Blu-ray format. The 1080p image transfer is excellent, giving M\u00fcller\u2019s cinematography the perfect showcase. Uniform sharpness, consistent balance of contrasts and a wide color spectrum highlight this truly impressive presentation. The audio, presented in DTS-HD Master 5.1, is good, but really only the film\u2019s great music score by Ry Cooder seems to take advantage of the rear surround channels.

I've never forgotten that, and I've gone on wondering whether eventually she got her own table.\"\n\nThe crew had been sworn into the Haganah when they left America, and the leadership in Palestine had also sent what Aronowitz - already rankling at attempts to exert authority over what he saw as his ship - calls \"a political commissar\", Yossi Harel, a senior Haganah member. Tensions erupted between the Americans and what were then called Palestinians (Jewish residents of Mandate Palestine). The Haganah radioed the ship, ordering it to change its name to the Exodus 1947, which many of the Americans hated. \"We wanted something with more zip,\" Livney says. \"Personally, I wanted it to be called the Eleanor Roosevelt.\"\n\nAs the ship neared the Palestine coast, it found itself hemmed in by British destroyers. Harel said the point had been made and they should give in. \"He didn't want us to resist the British,\" Aronowitz says. \"He wanted us to surrender. But most of the passengers were more courageous and had more guts than any of us - they had seen terrible things.\" Aronowitz rebelled. The crew had prepared plans to repel the British soldiers by placing nets over the deck, but they didn't have time to get them out when the surprise raid took place at midnight on July 18 and they resorted to throwing cans of kosher corned beef at the boarding party. There were three casualties: two passengers - one a 16-year-old boy, shot in the face, according to a witness - and one of the young crew, Bill Bernstein, who was clubbed to death with a rifle butt. He died in Aronowitz's bunk.\n\nThe battle with the British was not only played out on radio and in the newsreels. Representatives of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (Unscop) had been sent to Haifa as observers. The brutal treatment of the Exodus's passengers had become a powerful propaganda tool in the Zionist campaign, but in Jaffa, 15-year-old Hasan Hammami, the son of a wealthy Arab businessman, watched and listened with foreboding: \"I remember seeing pictures of the Exodus as it was being towed into port in Haifa. Its pictures were in the papers. I remember clearly the news about this and other illegal immigrant ships. Most were regularly reported on the official radio station, which broadcast in Arabic and was located less than half a mile from our house.\n\n\"The mood was one of sorrow for the poor, weak, hungry Jews who had come from European concentration camps, and of the condition they'd been driven to,\" Hammami says. \"But it was mixed with fear of being overrun by European Jewish immigrants. There was bewilderment and anger - why were they being sent to Palestine, given all this aid to settle in a land that did not belong to the power that was admitting them and that they did not own?\"\n\nAll the passengers were forcibly disembarked at Haifa - the crew had hiding places on board and were able to slip away and evade arrest. The rest were loaded on to three British ships, imprisoned in cages and returned to Europe. On arrival in France, they refused to disembark and after three weeks at Port-de-Bouc, amid worldwide publicity, British foreign secretary Ernest Bevin took what seems now the inconceivable step of returning them to Hamburg, where they were re-incarcerated in refugee camps. It was a PR catastrophe. \"Back to the Reich,\" one US newspaper put it. \"Return to the death land,\" said another. \"If there is an Almighty,\" Aronowitz says, \"he sent us Ernest Bevin in order to create a Jewish state.\"\n\nThe story of the voyage of the Exodus ended there. The ship remained in Haifa harbour until 1952, when it caught fire and burned to the waterline; the hulk was towed to Shemen beach. \"It was the greatest tragedy of my life,\" Aronowitz says. \"I thought we had lost this battle, but I wrote to John Grauer [a Methodist minister and the only non-Jewish member of the crew], 'If we have one more defeat like this, Britain's empire will sink into oblivion.' \"\n\nIn 1948, after the British Mandate formally came to an end, during what Israelis call the War of Independence and what Palestinians call the Nakba (the Catastrophe), the Hammamis were driven out of Jaffa. Another refugee ship set sail, this time in the opposite direction. Hasan says, \"We left in a Mediterranean saiq, a traditional cargo boat, [with] more than 3,000 people like sardines, escaping for their lives. We ran out of water in the first few hours, I saw a woman abort three feet away, and we were intercepted by British navy ships several times and they let us go.\" After days at sea, they arrived in Lebanon, where the now penniless family struggled to make a living and give their children an education. Hasan wandered from one country to the next, eventually settling in Florida, where he had a successful career as an engineer.\n\nAronowitz, now 83, became a ship owner running lines to China, Singapore and Iran. Livney and his wife live on Kibbutz Barkai, a short drive from Aronowitz's house where, this year, the day after Independence Day, the red flag was flying proudly alongside its Israeli counterpart from the roof of the communal building. Passow, now 89, retired two years ago from a professorship at Hebrew University and lives in Jerusalem. Klieger was reunited with his parents in Brussels and made it to Israel six days after the state was declared. He became a journalist and is on the editorial board of Israel's leading newspaper, Yediot Aharonot, where, at 81, he still goes to work every day, the forearm on which his Auschwitz number is tattooed bent over his keyboard.\n\nPolitically, they all took different directions. Livney, a teenage member of the Hashomer Hatzair socialist-Zionist youth movement in New York, maintains his socialist convictions - he and his wife have been active members of Peace Now. Aronowitz, who started out on the left, developed a feud with prime minister David Ben-Gurion in the early 50s, when Ben-Gurion broke a shipping strike, driving Aronowitz to the right, perhaps more out of intransigence than ideology. As Livney says diplomatically, Aronowitz was always strong-willed - a couple of weeks earlier, he'd briefly hit the headlines again, this time for being in court for driving without a licence for 18 years. To Klieger, a specialist writer on anti-semitism, European anti-Zionism remains inexplicable: \"How can a normal European think we are wrong?\" he says. \"Not only do they think we are wrong, they say we are wrong, that we are Nazis!\"\n\nListening to these old men in a sunlit restaurant as they talk about events of six decades ago, one is struck by how the history of Zionism, and the Zionist policy of illegal immigration that brought hope to Jewish refugees and made new refugees out of Palestinians, has an additional meaning we have half-forgotten - that in taking on the British empire, the survivors of an attempt at total genocide were recovering their pride and dignity, their sense of being human. The defiance of the blockade helped them overcome their shame at having been victims.\n\n\"I would say that if I had to do it", "base_doc": " because they knew that the partition vote was coming and in a few months there would be a Jewish country.\"\n\nFor the young crew, this was the first time they'd come face to face with survivors, and they spoke to them using their common lingua franca, Yiddish, emphasising both the common bonds of culture and the sense of a shared destiny. \"I was once talking to a group my own age,\" Livney says, \"and at the end one girl told a particularly harrowing story and said she had only one wish, to have her own table. I've never forgotten that, and I've gone on wondering whether eventually she got her own table.\"\n\nThe crew had been sworn into the Haganah when they left America, and the leadership in Palestine had also sent what Aronowitz - already rankling at attempts to exert authority over what he saw as his ship - calls \"a political commissar\", Yossi Harel, a senior Haganah member. Tensions erupted between the Americans and what were then called Palestinians (Jewish residents of Mandate Palestine). The Haganah radioed the ship, ordering it to change its name to the Exodus 1947, which many of the Americans hated. \"We wanted something with more zip,\" Livney says. \"Personally, I wanted it to be called the Eleanor Roosevelt.\"\n\nAs the ship neared the Palestine coast, it found itself hemmed in by British destroyers. Harel said the point had been made and they should give in. \"He didn't want us to resist the British,\" Aronowitz says. \"He wanted us to surrender. But most of the passengers were more courageous and had more guts than any of us - they had seen terrible things.\" Aronowitz rebelled. The crew had prepared plans to repel the British soldiers by placing nets over the deck, but they didn't have time to get them out when the surprise raid took place at midnight on July 18 and they resorted to throwing cans of kosher corned beef at the boarding party. There were three casualties: two passengers - one a 16-year-old boy, shot in the face, according to a witness - and one of the young crew, Bill Bernstein, who was clubbed to death with a rifle butt. He died in Aronowitz's bunk.\n\nThe battle with the British was not only played out on radio and in the newsreels. Representatives of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (Unscop) had been sent to Haifa as observers. The brutal treatment of the Exodus's passengers had become a powerful propaganda tool in the Zionist campaign, but in Jaffa, 15-year-old Hasan Hammami, the son of a wealthy Arab businessman, watched and listened with foreboding: \"I remember seeing pictures of the Exodus as it was being towed into port in Haifa. Its pictures were in the papers. I remember clearly the news about this and other illegal immigrant ships. Most were regularly reported on the official radio station, which broadcast in Arabic and was located less than half a mile from our house.\n\n\"The mood was one of sorrow for the poor, weak, hungry Jews who had come from European concentration camps, and of the condition they'd been driven to,\" Hammami says. \"But it was mixed with fear of being overrun by European Jewish immigrants. There was bewilderment and anger - why were they being sent to Palestine, given all this aid to settle in a land that did not belong to the power that was admitting them and that they did not own?\"\n\nAll the passengers were forcibly disembarked at Haifa - the crew had hiding places on board and were able to slip away and evade arrest. The rest were loaded on to three British ships, imprisoned in cages and returned to Europe. On arrival in France, they refused to disembark and after three weeks at Port-de-Bouc, amid worldwide publicity, British foreign secretary Ernest Bevin took what seems now the inconceivable step of returning them to Hamburg, where they were re-incarcerated in refugee camps. It was a PR catastrophe. \"Back to the Reich,\" one US newspaper put it. \"Return to the death land,\" said another. \"If there is an Almighty,\" Aronowitz says, \"he sent us Ernest Bevin in order to create a Jewish state.\"\n\nThe story of the voyage of the Exodus ended there. The ship remained in Haifa harbour until 1952, when it caught fire and burned to the waterline; the hulk was towed to Shemen beach. \"It was the greatest tragedy of my life,\" Aronowitz says. \"I thought we had lost this battle, but I wrote to John Grauer [a Methodist minister and the only non-Jewish member of the crew], 'If we have one more defeat like this, Britain's empire will sink into oblivion.' \"\n\nIn 1948, after the British Mandate formally came to an end, during what Israelis call the War of Independence and what Palestinians call the Nakba (the Catastrophe), the Hammamis were driven out of Jaffa. Another refugee ship set sail, this time in the opposite direction. Hasan says, \"We left in a Mediterranean saiq, a traditional cargo boat, [with] more than 3,000 people like sardines, escaping for their lives. We ran out of water in the first few hours, I saw a woman abort three feet away, and we were intercepted by British navy ships several times and they let us go.\" After days at sea, they arrived in Lebanon, where the now penniless family struggled to make a living and give their children an education. Hasan wandered from one country to the next, eventually settling in Florida, where he had a successful career as an engineer.\n\nAronowitz, now 83, became a ship owner running lines to China, Singapore and Iran. Livney and his wife live on Kibbutz Barkai, a short drive from Aronowitz's house where, this year, the day after Independence Day, the red flag was flying proudly alongside its Israeli counterpart from the roof of the communal building. Passow, now 89, retired two years ago from a professorship at Hebrew University and lives in Jerusalem. Klieger was reunited with his parents in Brussels and made it to Israel six days after the state was declared. He became a journalist and is on the editorial board of Israel's leading newspaper, Yediot Aharonot, where, at 81, he still goes to work every day, the forearm on which his Auschwitz number is tattooed bent over his keyboard.\n\nPolitically, they all took different directions. Livney, a teenage member of the Hashomer Hatzair socialist-Zionist youth movement in New York, maintains his socialist convictions - he and his wife have been active members of Peace Now. Aronowitz, who started out on the left, developed a feud with prime minister David Ben-Gurion in the early 50s, when Ben-Gurion broke a shipping strike, driving Aronowitz to the right, perhaps more out of intransigence than ideology. As Livney says diplomatically, Aronowitz was always strong-willed - a couple of weeks earlier, he'd briefly hit the headlines again, this time for being in court for driving without a licence for 18 years. To Klieger, a specialist writer on anti-semitism, European anti-Zionism remains inexplicable: \"How can a normal European think we are wrong?\" he says. \"Not only do they think we are wrong, they say we are wrong, that we are Nazis!\"\n\nListening to these old men in a sunlit restaurant as they talk about events of six decades ago, one is struck by how the history of Zionism, and the Zionist policy of illegal immigration that brought hope to Jewish refugees and made new refugees out of Palestinians, has an additional meaning we have half-forgotten - that in taking on the British empire, the survivors of an attempt at total genocide were recovering their pride and dignity, their sense of being human. The defiance of the blockade helped them overcome their shame at having been victims.\n\n\"I would say that if I had to do it again, because, God forbid, we had an extreme situation, I would,\" Passow says. \"There is no question that it was an act of heroism and proved that, when push comes to shove, the Jewish people were capable of great things. Of course, living in Israel today, you wouldn't say that.\"<|endoftext|>1. Melt 50g\u00a0butter in a heavy\u00a0saucepan.

A common mechanism of action: light\n\nLasers and flash lamps generally work on the same principle: the emission of light and the absorption of this light by a target. For hair removal, the target is the pigment contained in the hair (melanin). When the target is exposed to the light emitted, it rises in temperature to reach approximately 70\u00b0C; at this temperature, a certain number of biological structures will be altered or destroyed.\n\nThis destruction is limited to the elements associated with the hair, eventually preventing regrowth. This is known as \"selective photo-thermolysis\". Finally, the following should be noted:\n\n- Light consists of one or severl wavelengths.\n- A given wavelength is absorbed by a single target colour (a single pigment colour).\n- Hair colour may be very different from one individual to another (ranging from very light blond to very dark brown).\n- Each hair colour will therefore specifically absorb a single wavelength of light emitted.\n\n2.

This \"range of wavelengths\" is more or less extended/limited according to the filter(s) positioned between the light source (lamp) and the skin.\n\nIn comparing the different emission spectra of laser hair removal devices and flash lamps systems, a major difference between these two technologies becomes immediately apparent: the laser has a single wavelength, whereas the flash lamp has a multitude of wavelengths.\n\n3.

When the correct light (wavelength) is captured by the pigment, the melanin starts to heat up.\n\nAs the hair itself is saturated with this pigment, it will become heated in its entirety and its temperature will reach approximately 70\u00b0C. The hair will then immediately behave like a very hot object inserted into the skin, such as a needle. The heat is therefore transmitted to everything in contact with it, and in particular the structures that nourish the hair. When these nourishing structures are in turn heated, they are altered more or less permanently depending on the amount of heat accumulated.\n\nThis more or less permanent alteration will determine the more or less permanent nature of the hair removal.

The more I read, the less clear I am about what are the defining qualities of each word. I actually suspect that all three words mean different things to different people. Not only that but I suspect that what people think that others think is also not necessarily aligned. But that doesn't stop one person (this is not an allusion to any one individual in particular) from believing that they have someone's definition pegged. So I keep reading, hoping for clarity. I've seen all three terms debated on the TALO Groups list. Irena White there proposed that communities sat as the halfway point between networks and groups. I piped in and said that I thought a community was one variation of a group -\n\nActually, I'm not too sure that the whole idea of community in an online setting isn't a bit of a utopian buzzword. To me, a community is\na group.\n\n- I should have shut up - because it isn't a definition that I can back up with argument and logic. Irena's original observation backed onto a long exchange of views between Teemu Leinonen and Stephen Downes on the same list and its sibling list, FLNW - a list that grew out of the Leigh Blackall inspired travelling unconference of the same acronym. Those two weren't even using the word community in that discussion.\n\nCommunity as a term gets bandied around a lot these days and it's because of that, I have a hard time being sure what someone means when they mention the edublogging community. I mean, we have \"community of learners\", staff and leadership at my site refer to the \"school community\", some people choose to live in a \"gated community\" and then volunteers help out \"the less fortunate in the community.\" So, if you are involved in a particular activity, maybe stamp collecting as an example, are you automatically part of that community? Or do you have the choice to join, or to stand alone, or even to start your own stamp collecting community? How about the idea of community leaders? How does that work? Are the leaders acknowledged as such because they've collected the most stamps, or have been collecting for the longest time, or because they've accumulated the largest knowledge base on the subject of stamps? Or maybe the leaders are the people helping others to start their own stamp collections or organising stamp based events for the community (however it is defined)?\n\nWhen I first started blogging way back in August of 2005, I was totally in awe of Will Richardson. Here was this bloke who was a grand pioneer of blogging in education, had generated a lot of momentum for emerging technologies in the classroom and was writing his own book, for goodness sake. I loved reading his thought provoking posts (still do) and somewhere in my twisted brain, I thought that if my efforts at education blogging attracted his notice, then maybe I was on the right track. I badly wanted to develop a blog that attracted insightful comments, promoted quality reflection and yes, that would be noticed by the luminaries of my newly compiled blogroll. I felt frustrated when bloggers starting out at the same time as me attracted praise in the posts of Weblogg-ed. Don't get me wrong - their accolades were well deserved and I was pleased that they were being highlighted - but what was missing from my own posts?\n\nSo, you can see I was a bit self-absorbed back then but maybe I was looking for my version of online community. Now I'm not sure that the concept of community is all that important. In Will, I think I saw a community leader and his approval then would have rubber stamped in my mind my membership of the edublogger community. But does such a community really exist? And if it does, what would qualify someone to claim membership? Can one maintain an online presence and connect to others via blogging without officially being considered part of a community?\n\nSo as my blogging skills improved, as my writing found its ''voice'' and became more authentic, others from different parts of the world and from different sectors of education and different walks of life became important nodes in my Learning Network. The methods and means of discovery were varied. I found amazing sources of new ideas and inspiration in the Aussie and Kiwi VTE sector, I could relate to the gritty, warts'n'all classroom practitioners in far flung parts of the North American continent, I was challenged by radicals and free thinkers sometimes reviled by more mainstream edubloggers and if this is a community, then the pieces don't fit together neatly at all. But they don't need to.

The more I read, the less clear I am about what are the defining qualities of each word. I actually suspect that all three words mean different things to different people. Not only that but I suspect that what people think that others think is also not necessarily aligned. But that doesn't stop one person (this is not an allusion to any one individual in particular) from believing that they have someone's definition pegged. So I keep reading, hoping for clarity. I've seen all three terms debated on the TALO Groups list. Irena White there proposed that communities sat as the halfway point between networks and groups. I piped in and said that I thought a community was one variation of a group -\n\nActually, I'm not too sure that the whole idea of community in an online setting isn't a bit of a utopian buzzword. To me, a community is\na group.\n\n- I should have shut up - because it isn't a definition that I can back up with argument and logic. Irena's original observation backed onto a long exchange of views between Teemu Leinonen and Stephen Downes on the same list and its sibling list, FLNW - a list that grew out of the Leigh Blackall inspired travelling unconference of the same acronym. Those two weren't even using the word community in that discussion.\n\nCommunity as a term gets bandied around a lot these days and it's because of that, I have a hard time being sure what someone means when they mention the edublogging community. I mean, we have \"community of learners\", staff and leadership at my site refer to the \"school community\", some people choose to live in a \"gated community\" and then volunteers help out \"the less fortunate in the community.\" So, if you are involved in a particular activity, maybe stamp collecting as an example, are you automatically part of that community? Or do you have the choice to join, or to stand alone, or even to start your own stamp collecting community? How about the idea of community leaders? How does that work? Are the leaders acknowledged as such because they've collected the most stamps, or have been collecting for the longest time, or because they've accumulated the largest knowledge base on the subject of stamps? Or maybe the leaders are the people helping others to start their own stamp collections or organising stamp based events for the community (however it is defined)?\n\nWhen I first started blogging way back in August of 2005, I was totally in awe of Will Richardson. Here was this bloke who was a grand pioneer of blogging in education, had generated a lot of momentum for emerging technologies in the classroom and was writing his own book, for goodness sake. I loved reading his thought provoking posts (still do) and somewhere in my twisted brain, I thought that if my efforts at education blogging attracted his notice, then maybe I was on the right track. I badly wanted to develop a blog that attracted insightful comments, promoted quality reflection and yes, that would be noticed by the luminaries of my newly compiled blogroll. I felt frustrated when bloggers starting out at the same time as me attracted praise in the posts of Weblogg-ed. Don't get me wrong - their accolades were well deserved and I was pleased that they were being highlighted - but what was missing from my own posts?\n\nSo, you can see I was a bit self-absorbed back then but maybe I was looking for my version of online community. Now I'm not sure that the concept of community is all that important. In Will, I think I saw a community leader and his approval then would have rubber stamped in my mind my membership of the edublogger community. But does such a community really exist? And if it does, what would qualify someone to claim membership? Can one maintain an online presence and connect to others via blogging without officially being considered part of a community?\n\nSo as my blogging skills improved, as my writing found its ''voice'' and became more authentic, others from different parts of the world and from different sectors of education and different walks of life became important nodes in my Learning Network. The methods and means of discovery were varied. I found amazing sources of new ideas and inspiration in the Aussie and Kiwi VTE sector, I could relate to the gritty, warts'n'all classroom practitioners in far flung parts of the North American continent, I was challenged by radicals and free thinkers sometimes reviled by more mainstream edubloggers and if this is a community, then the pieces don't fit together neatly at all. But they don't need to. I want to include in my aggregator bloggers who reject groupthink as much as I want to benefit from the camraderie and the mutual work-hard-for-the-benefit-of-others more group orientated bloggers. I think I can have the benefits of both styles of learning and thinking. Minh McCloy in the same TALO thread summed up my thoughts pretty well:\n\nCompulsory grouping is very hard on the solitaries amongst us. Choosing instead, to establish links with others who offer possibilities potentialities is an attractive alternative. Groupers often feel so rejected when an individual doesn't want to group with them. Groupers will sometimes lash out & call such folk sad & lonely - or even witches & heretics.\n\nThe K-12 Online Conference seems to be generating a sense of community amongst many edubloggers - maybe there are some who feel that the Conference helped to solidify the concept of an edublogger community. Darren Kuropatwa has been mulling over some of these aspects as well, but sees some negative aspects I'm a bit unaware of.

I do remember refusing to eat chicken foot anything. I don't care how much it's been boiled or sterilized, I know where those things have been.\n\nI've heard enough good things about bone stock that I decided to try to make it. Over the years I've had mostly failures. It'd be too greasy, it'd have a terrible taste, or it just looked so bad I wanted nothing to do with it.\n\nI broke it down to basics by going with what I know for menudo.(0) It contains at most one animal joint with some meat, hominy, and greasy gritty cattle guts. Since I've been eating it from babyhood, this is normal food. I don't enjoy the tripe, so I just put one big chunk in for the flavor and then dump it when the food is ready to serve.\n\nSo, back to the stock. I decided to start small, with a batch of drumsticks. Chicken legs don't have a whole lot of fat, and they have quite a bit of bone and some tasty meat.\n\nI did all the standard things, and had the tools: a skimmer, cheesecloth, a spoon to catch the meat, and a cleaver for the bones. I really, really like marrow.\n\nTaking the skin off was simple and it went well. I finally figured out that the foam that forms while it's boiling is a mixture of blood and fat, so that's why my earlier attempts had failed. I hadn't taken enough of it out. That stuff can be tasty, but not in stock.\n\nOnce I got the meat off the bones (and really forks and scissored tongs are the way to go with that). I chopped the big bones in half and tossed them back in the pot.\n\nOne neat trick I read was to put in a half cup of lemon juice. This lightens the flavor and the acid leaches more calcium off the bones. Whether that actually makes a nutritionally significant difference, I don't know. I do know that I can taste the difference when I've done it and when I haven't.\n\nAfter having done that a few times, I mustered up my courage and added a chicken breast for more meat.(1) From there it was a simple step to getting the separate chicken parts, and then finally a whole chicken.\n\nThere are some good reasons for cutting up the chicken yourself:\n\n 1. Bone bits - Commercially processed chicken is going to be full of little bone bits that you might or might not catch while digging the cooked meat out off the bones. This can also happen while you're cutting things up, but you're also not likely to be using a huge saw on a deadline while you're doing it.\n 2. You get more meat. I was really surprised at this.\n 3. Skin and fat for schmaltz and gribenes. (that's a whole other post. Or you can go here)\nOther tips that work however you're doing it:\n 1. Precut the meat into chunks, while still on the bone. I think the flavor gets in more, and you don't have as much work to do getting it off the bone later.\n 2. A timer is essential. You want to cook the meat long enough for it to get flavored, but not so long it's rubbery and tasteless. I usually go for about an hour after the water starts boiling again.\n 3. Take the meat's temperature.\n 4. Don't be snobby - go ahead and use commercial bouillon to give it a good flavor. This is a great marriage saver.\n\nI have a gallon. Of this stuff. On my stove. Now what?\n\nI use it for lots of things. Most of it goes into the tortilla mix. I generally make tortillas three to four times a week. It takes about two weeks to use up all the stock, so I'll freeze half in a large container and just dip the measuring cup into the other container during the week.

As he did so, even though all tactile sense his arm formerly possessed was now hidden below its rubberized exterior, he found himself stimulated by the appearance of his limb. He pinched the black rubber; Even though he felt nothing of the touching of his latex-encased limb, the pinch hurt.\n\nHe drew his latex-enshrouded hand down the length of his torso--every inch of skin he touched succombed to a stimulation unlike anything he had ever experienced--down his stomach, across his abdomen, until his rubber hand found and grasped his raging manhood, then slowly, rythmically began the copulation which both hand and member seemed to desire on their own, as if Dave was merely a passive observer.\n\nHis passion and sense of sexual urgency spent, Dave repaired to the restroom to shower, noting the time as he went. He needed to hurry but, to his dismay, found it impossible to remove the glove. Panicked, his mind raced: how could he present himself at the office wearing a latex glove? He had an idea; At least, he thought to himself, it gives me an out.\n\nWhen Dave arrived at the office, the receptionist was startled to see his left hand swathed in gauze and surgical tape. It was, he had told her, the stupidest thing he had ever done, knocking the tea-kettle off the stove then, relfexively, attempting to catch it in mid-air, scalding himself in the process. Both his boss and Wainright, the client whom Dave had bypassed the night before, accepted Dave's apology for his absence the previous evening and his tardiness the following day. In fact, Dave's boss apologized for his own outburst and suggested that Dave stay home the remaining four days of the week, in order to recuperate from the trauma.\n\nDave, feigning reluctance, agreed, eager to return home to revel in his fascination with the glove, and insatiably curious regarding the remaining contents of the bag.\n\nChapter 3\n\nDuring the 35 minute commute home, his head clearing further, his conciousness becoming one with reality, Dave's attention moved away from his monomanical fascination with the glove and the events of the preceeding evening, focussing instead on the bookwork he'd been avoiding for the last two weeks.\n\nAt the entryway of his home, he doffed his coat and shirt and went upstairs to the bedroom to remove the glove and replace it into the bag he had brought home the previous evening. He flipped on the bedroom television, hoping to catch the noon news.\n\nNot wishing to harm the garment in any way, he went to the master bath where he would have the use of the mirror to aid in its removal and storage. Naked above his beltline, he looked at himself in the mirror, fascinated by what he saw; his left arm bore no resemblance to his right in terms of girth or muscle definition. It was, instead, wonderfully, provocatively feminine in appearance.\n\nWith a start, Dave realized that the glove was seemingly changing his arm's configuration the longer it was left in place. Somehow, someway, the glove was casuing his arm to metamorphosize into something feminine and foreign. Nearly seized in panic, using his fingernails, he began digging at the skin of his upper forearm, groping for the rolled seam at the glove's edge, so he could peel it off.\n\nBut there was no seam; the smooth latex now simply blended and merged into his own skin, becoming one with it. His frantic scratching only served to scrape his flesh; the latex was unblemished. Even as he was repulsed by what was happening, he found himself, at the same time, stimulated by the mental image of his perfectly-proportioned, porcelain-smooth, ebony appendage.\n\nBriefly, Dave balanced on the edge of real panic and total resignation;\n\nAt first: would he have to live out the rest of his life like a freak? Could he forever hide this part of himself from the world.\n\nThen: how beautiful his arm had become, how he wanted to touch it, feel it, flaunt it for all to see.\n\nHe focussed on the latter and shortly found himself moving toward the bedroom dresser upon which resided the bag within which resided the new focus of his altered attentions.\n\nAgain, Dave's mind seemed to blur. He was in a dream-like state as, with his ebony left hand, he delicately lifted the sack while, with his right hand he nearly tore it groping for the contents; It was as if his left arm moved and acted with graceful feminity while his right was controlled by an enraged male.\n\nInside, atop three other neatly-stacked smaller sacks within, he found a note:\n\n\"You will be totally unable to turn back after the first step is complete.\n\nWithin the sack are seperate packages, numbered\n\none and two.

He stepped into the walk-in closet and from the top shelf, began to slide out his old Army trunk. He would lock the packge and its contents where no one would ever find them. As he reached upwards with both arms, he realized that latex-encased arm was noticably weaker than his other. His feminine appearing arm collapsed under the weigh, allowing the trunk to crash to the floor, its corner landing painfully upon his left foot.\n\nEnraged, Dave stomped across the bedroom, then with his right fist, flailed out, knocking a lamp from the dresser and shattering it on the adjacent wall. In an uncontrollable rage, he prepared to punch his right fist through the wall when suddenly, he stopped short: the cool softness of his left hand, soothingly carressing and stroking his face's right cheek, seemed to calm him. For a moment, he revelled in the softness of his own touch against his cheek then, kneeling down, gently picked up the bag from the floor and removed the top sack from inside, laying it upon the bed, incogniscent of the fact that his feminine appearing am had seemed to have comforted him with a will of its own, noting--but paying little attention to--the short, blonde strand of hair, on the floor next to the bag.\n\nHe bent, permitting his rubber-clad hand to delicately retrieve the sack from the floor and gently place it upon the bed. With no conscious effort on his part, the hand gently retrieved the first small bundle from the sack, gently opened it and drew out the remaining glove, laying it out across the bed.\n\nHe opened the second sack and withdres a lipstick red latex corselette with molded-in bra cups, black latex hose, and high-waisted bicycle shorts with, curiously, what appeared to a molded-in female labria.\n\nAt first fascinated, he drew the exquisite corselette across his face, inhaling its fragrance, relishing in its coolness and suppleness as it touched his cheek.\n\nHe wanted so much to wear them yet, until he found how to removed the glove which already seemed to adhere to him, he couldn't dare. Picking them up, he tossed them onto the chair adjacent to the bed.\n\nBriefly, he glanced at the remains of the antique lamp shattered on the floor, a gift from his grandmother, before her death ten years earlier. He felt totally depleted from the adrenaline-rush he'd just experienced: so depleted, so weakened, so confused about the events of the past eighteen hours.

He felt totally depleted from the adrenaline-rush he'd just experienced: so depleted, so weakened, so confused about the events of the past eighteen hours. He sat upon the bed and began to cry, then reclined onto it, his face buried in the pillow. He fell into a deep, splendidly comforting sleep.\n\nIt was pitch black outside when Dave awoke. He glanced at the clock; It was 1:00 AM. Despite the fact that it was now the middle of the night, he felt perfectly relaxed and refreshed. He had slept nearly 12 hours.\n\nSomehow, he realized, he had managed to get his pants off and crawl under the covers, even though he didn't recall having done so. He felt incredibly mellow considering the rage he'd experienced before sleeping. In fact, he felt almost languid: uncharacteristically calm.\n\nDave withdrew his left arm from beneath the covers, extending it out full-length, curious as to whether he might now be able to remove the latex glove. Noting its perfect, delicate proportions, he allowed his wrist to droop down limply, then angled it up at an angle to enjoy the sight of his now-delicate fingers, then drooped his wrist again. His arm and hand were so beautiful, so delicately, delightfully feminine in both form and movement. He longed for others to appreciate that beauty too.\n\nHe began to withdraw his right arm from beneath the covers, to delight in its touch of his left, noting curiously as he did so, that he couldn't feel the sensation of of his arm hair sliding against the cotton sheets. As the reality struck him, he abruptly withdrew his right arm and stared at it in horror; It too, was now smooth, shiny, jet black,", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 173416, "pt_loc": 35405961, "pt_shuffle_idx": 77136735, "doc_index_f": 120914520, "doc_index_l": 120914520, "offset_f": 2443, "offset_l": 4491, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 296, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]}

He has been saying for the past month that he has the gout. This turned out to be a wrong diagnosis. He had blood clots in his legs. In the hospital, they gave him anti-cloting drugs, amputated his left leg, and gave him medications to slow down his heart rate, which was beating at the rate of over 200. He is now in the Emergency Cardiac ECU, but they believe that they will be able to transfer to a regular hospital ward on Monday.\n\nI only found out yesterday that he was in the hospital and nobody else other than his landlady seems to know.

The game developed into a dead drawn rook-and-pawn endgame. Tamargo offered a draw.

In fact, had it not been for the English and Northern people together, there would not have been a great many slaves in the South.\n\nThe course of Mr. Lincoln was also as inconsistent about this matter of slavery as it was about Fort Sumter, for in the very beginning of his inaugural address, March 4, 1861, he declared: \u2018I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.\u2019 And further on in the same inaugural he declared himself in favor of a constitutional amendment which, so far as the United States was concerned, would have made the negroes of this country slaves forever.

This is true here in the U.S., but this is especially true in regions where women are tied to agricultural production (farming, picking, gathering) and where they bear the primary responsibility of gathering water necessary for families to bathe, cook, and clean (most developing countries). It\u2019s also true because of the reality that women and girls are often made vulnerable to violence and sexual assault as they walk to gather clean water for their families. So I definitely saw this as a feminist win in the sense that it marks one small step forward in working to ensure that women are able to lead lives that are just, healthy, and free from sexual coercion and violence.\n\nWhile most people agreed with me, there were a few noticeable exceptions- like oh, say, the United States. They chose to abstain from the vote, along with 40 other countries including some of the European and industrialized countries like Britain, Australia, Austria, Canada, Greece, Sweden, Japan, Israel, South Korea, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Ireland, as well as\u00a0some developing countries, including Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Zambia, Guyana, and Trinidad and Tobago.\n\nSo what gives with all the abstentions on a resolution that can bring so much good? It\u2019s hard to say for certain why the resolution proved politically divisive, for different countries.\u00a0On his reasons for abstaining from the vote, the US delegate said the resolution was \u201cnot reflective of existing international law; as there is no \u2018right to water and sanitation\u2019 in an international legal sense as described by this resolution.\u201d Hmmm- sounds", "base_doc": " and promising cures are comming up all the time and there could be a cure around the corner.\n\nDiscuss the benefits of coconut oil for Alzheimer\u2019s with your doctor and see if it would help if the patient starts taking coconut oil.

But this concept alone cannot do full justice to explaining the ongoing, day-to-day spectacle of Trump\u2019s presidency. To better understand the Trump phenomenon, I suggest we borrow a concept from the world of professional wrestling where hyperreality converges with spectacle to produce the same strange amalgamation of bravado, hyperbole, and exaggeration (and outright lies) that marks Trumpian politics.

Well, consider Putnam, who spends the entirety of The Wizard (a feature length Nintendo commercial released in 1989) tirelessly pursuing an emotionally-traumatized runaway, intent on\u2026 reuniting him with his family. Sure, this would prevent young Jimmy and his brother Fred Savage from achieving their mutual goal of reaching California, but it hardly makes him a \u201cbad guy.\u201d\n\nNo, what makes Putnam a truly vile human being is the force that motivates his actions: greed. He\u2019s so desperate to find the boys first and collect his fat paycheck, he even sabotages their estranged father\u2019s independent search effort\u2013slashing tires with a little too much enthusiasm.\n\nFortunately, Putnam isn\u2019t what you\u2019d call cinema\u2019s most competent bounty hunter\u2013heck, he\u2019s seemingly incapable of recognizing something as mundane as a maintenance elevator (\u201cWhat the hell is that?\u201d he exclaims as our kid heroes begin their slow, slow descent). \u00a0But for putting personal gain above the safety and well-being of children, he deserves to be called a villain.\n\n[Originally posted July 19, 2012.]\n\n1 view0 comments\n\n\u00a92018 by O'Grady Film.

In fact, had it not been for the English and Northern people together, there would not have been a great many slaves in the South.\n\nThe course of Mr. Lincoln was also as inconsistent about this matter of slavery as it was about Fort Sumter, for in the very beginning of his inaugural address, March 4, 1861, he declared: \u2018I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.\u2019 And further on in the same inaugural he declared himself in favor of a constitutional amendment which, so far as the United States was concerned, would have made the negroes of this country slaves forever. His exact words were: \u2018I understand that a proposed amendment to the Constitution (which amendment, however, I have not seen), has passed Congress to the effect that the Federal government shall never interfere with the domestic institutions of the States, including that of persons held to service. Holding such a provision to now be implied constitutional law, I have no objection to its being made express and irrevocable.\u2019\n\nCreative Commons License\n\n\nhide Places (automatically extracted)\n\n\nClick on a place to search for it in this document.\nUnited States (United States) (2)\n\nDownload Pleiades ancient places geospacial dataset for this text.\n\nhide People (automatically extracted)\nLincoln (1)\nhide Dates (automatically extracted)\nClick on a date to search for it in this document.\nMarch 4th, 1861 AD (1)\nhide Display Preferences\nGreek Display:\nArabic Display:\nView by Default:\nBrowse Bar:<|endoftext|>Search Results for: mo' korea\n\nChina's World Influence and the Rise of the Asian Male Movie Star\n\nThere have been several things that have been at play within the last few weeks.

This is true here in the U.S., but this is especially true in regions where women are tied to agricultural production (farming, picking, gathering) and where they bear the primary responsibility of gathering water necessary for families to bathe, cook, and clean (most developing countries). It\u2019s also true because of the reality that women and girls are often made vulnerable to violence and sexual assault as they walk to gather clean water for their families. So I definitely saw this as a feminist win in the sense that it marks one small step forward in working to ensure that women are able to lead lives that are just, healthy, and free from sexual coercion and violence.\n\nWhile most people agreed with me, there were a few noticeable exceptions- like oh, say, the United States. They chose to abstain from the vote, along with 40 other countries including some of the European and industrialized countries like Britain, Australia, Austria, Canada, Greece, Sweden, Japan, Israel, South Korea, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Ireland, as well as\u00a0some developing countries, including Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Zambia, Guyana, and Trinidad and Tobago.\n\nSo what gives with all the abstentions on a resolution that can bring so much good? It\u2019s hard to say for certain why the resolution proved politically divisive, for different countries.\u00a0On his reasons for abstaining from the vote, the US delegate said the resolution was \u201cnot reflective of existing international law; as there is no \u2018right to water and sanitation\u2019 in an international legal sense as described by this resolution.\u201d Hmmm- sounds to me like a damn good reason to pass a resolution recognizing such a right.\n\nWhile I am disappointed that so many countries\u2014including the United States\u2014abstained from voting, I\u2019m nonetheless psyched that the resolution was ultimately passed despite politics and pettiness that might have gotten in", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 176688, "pt_loc": 13443836, "pt_shuffle_idx": 189248696, "doc_index_f": 296667646, "doc_index_l": 296667652, "offset_f": 775, "offset_l": 513, "pt_injection_pos": 4, "pt_window_offset": 176, "pt_injection_len": 236, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [123, 365, 143, 291, 463, 150, 514]}

The future do Alchemy and not science. They create products [bio-degradable] based on the chemistry of the gut / colon. First they studied the chemistry [biology] of the gut and how it processes matter. That is a really complex process we do not understand today.\n\nPeople in the future replicate that gut intelligence process to build materials that later break down or that can be broken down in Nature. The key point I want to make about the gut intelligence is how science today claims to produce BIO-DEGRADABLE plastic. It is a total joke...\n\nYou see .. your own intelligent gut puts enzymes and other compounds into the fecal matter passed by the colon. Which means the fecal matter only breaks down in Nature because of the Intelligent Alchemical Compounds added by your intelligent colon !!\n\nToday's science tell you that the colon digests food and creates waste .. and later Nature breaks down that waste into biological parts. I am saying .. why is the whole gut so large? Why does the digestion process take such a long journey? The answer is .. because the gut is designed to perform and create Alchemical changes on digested matter along the way TO MAKE IT USEFUL.\n\nYou really are PART OF NATURE !!\n\nYour gut is really a highly advanced .. highly intelligent .. super designed Alchemical [biological] unit working in the same way as the rich soil of the Planet. It is the exact same process .. it is just happening inside your gut. The gut is so highly advanced it can even analyse and add complex compounds to highly processed industry food to make it planetary bio-digestible.\n\nYour brain is connected to your gut >_+\n\nWe have scientifically passed through a time where the elite of the elite in medicine are BRAIN SURGEONS.

Well .. I have always been alone and on my own with that question [outside of the researchers and innovators who were also on their own. That's cool .. it is better than being part of the de-harmonized food herd.\n\nWhat did I do to start working with my own colon? I started realizing the intelligence is in the colon and the love is in the colon. Basically .. because .. when I got sick my gut / colon did everything to keep some level of harmony within the body. I owe it to my gut that I am alive today.\n\nThe teacher is within us.\n\nI got carried away .. the most important thing I wanted to write about is the Peristaltic Wave [probably as important as your heartbeat]. Basically .. no peristaltic wave no life! The peristaltic wave travels the length of the gut from the tongue .. through the stomach and intestines to the rectum. That's the basis of your digestive system.\n\nWhy would a fetus have a peristaltic wave process?\n\nI did not say what I wanted to say when I began this post .. and so I am going to have to come back to this again in later posts.

The future do Alchemy and not science. They create products [bio-degradable] based on the chemistry of the gut / colon. First they studied the chemistry [biology] of the gut and how it processes matter. That is a really complex process we do not understand today.\n\nPeople in the future replicate that gut intelligence process to build materials that later break down or that can be broken down in Nature. The key point I want to make about the gut intelligence is how science today claims to produce BIO-DEGRADABLE plastic. It is a total joke...\n\nYou see .. your own intelligent gut puts enzymes and other compounds into the fecal matter passed by the colon. Which means the fecal matter only breaks down in Nature because of the Intelligent Alchemical Compounds added by your intelligent colon !!\n\nToday's science tell you that the colon digests food and creates waste .. and later Nature breaks down that waste into biological parts. I am saying .. why is the whole gut so large? Why does the digestion process take such a long journey? The answer is .. because the gut is designed to perform and create Alchemical changes on digested matter along the way TO MAKE IT USEFUL.\n\nYou really are PART OF NATURE !!\n\nYour gut is really a highly advanced .. highly intelligent .. super designed Alchemical [biological] unit working in the same way as the rich soil of the Planet. It is the exact same process .. it is just happening inside your gut. The gut is so highly advanced it can even analyse and add complex compounds to highly processed industry food to make it planetary bio-digestible.\n\nYour brain is connected to your gut >_+\n\nWe have scientifically passed through a time where the elite of the elite in medicine are BRAIN SURGEONS. In the not too distant future the elite of a new alchemy of understanding and practice are: Colon / gut doctors. In the future they are not called doctors.\nWord origin: doctor c.1300, \"Church father,\" from O.Fr. doctour, from M.L. doctor \"religious teacher, adviser, scholar,\" from L. doctor \"teacher,\" from doct- stem of docere \"to show, teach,\"\nThis is difficult to translate .. in their future world they are: Harmonizers .. who fine-tune the intelligent Alchemical process that defines the building and re-transformation of matter.\n\nThey help people organize optimum healthy gut / colon balance.\n\nWhat can I do today to help organize my own healthy gut balance? Well .. I have always been alone and on my own with that question [outside of the researchers and innovators who were also on their own. That's cool .. it is better than being part of the de-harmonized food herd.\n\nWhat did I do to start working with my own colon? I started realizing the intelligence is in the colon and the love is in the colon. Basically .. because .. when I got sick my gut / colon did everything to keep some level of harmony within the body. I owe it to my gut that I am alive today.\n\nThe teacher is within us.\n\nI got carried away .. the most important thing I wanted to write about is the Peristaltic Wave [probably as important as your heartbeat]. Basically .. no peristaltic wave no life! The peristaltic wave travels the length of the gut from the tongue .. through the stomach and intestines to the rectum. That's the basis of your digestive system.\n\nWhy would a fetus have a peristaltic wave process?\n\nI did not say what I wanted to say when I began this post .. and so I am going to have to come back to this again in later posts.

Prinz - Why Are Men So Violent? Are Men Warriors by Nature?\n\nThe male warrior hypothesis, based in biology and evolutionary psychology, contends that men are by nature more violent than women, more racist, more prone to social dominance hierarchies, more xenophobic, and less likely to cooperate (unless under duress). In other words, men are ignoble savages.\n\nI think this is a load of crap. And fortunately, so do a lot of other people, including philosopher Jesse Prinz. In a recent column for Psychology Today's Experiments in Philosophy blog, Prinz argues that all of the evidence assembled to support the evolutionary claims can better be understood by looking at social and historical pressures and circumstances. He makes a compelling case.\nIt will not have gone unnoticed that men are more violent than women. Men perpetrate about 90 percent of the world's homicides and start all of the wars. But why? A recent article in a prominent science journal contends that evolution has shaped men to be warriors. More specifically, the authors claim that men are biologically programmed to form coalitions that aggress against neighbors, and they do so in order to get women, either through force or by procuring resources that would make them more desirable. The male warrior hypothesis is alluring because it makes sense of male violence, but it is based on a dubious interpretation of the science. In my new book, I point out that such evolutionary explanations of behavior are often worse than competing historical explanations. The same is true in this case. There are simpler historical explanations of male violence, and understanding these is important for coping with the problem.\n\n\nThis historical story can help to explain why men are more violent than women. The men who hold power will fight to keep it, and men who find themselves without economic resources feel entitled to acquire things by force if they see no other way. With these assumptions, we can dispense with the male warrior hypothesis, which is advanced by Melissa McDonald, Carlos Navarrete, and Mark Van Vugt, in the latest issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. These three psychologists imply that male violence is natural and inevitable, but all the evidence they offer can be explained by the simpler assumption that farming technologies allowed men co-opt power over the course of human history.\n \u2022 The authors claim that men are more xenophobic than women, because they are wired to wage war. But this is also predicted on the historical account, because men control governments and handle foreign relations. It follows too that men start all wars.\u00a0\n \u2022 The authors contend that, compared to women, men prefer social dominance hierarchies, which testifies to their innately competitive nature. But this is easily explained on the social story: in male dominant societies, men gain from dominance hierarchies, and women lose.\n \u2022 The authors note that men are more prone to cooperate when under threat than otherwise, which may suggest an instinct to form armies. But a simpler explanation is that, having obtained power, men are reluctant to cooperate except under pressure.\u00a0\n \u2022 The authors cite a disturbing study in which men endorse war after being primed with a picture of an attractive woman, which suggests that male violence has a sexual motive. But the link between sex and violence may derive from the fact that sex is often coercive in male dominant societies.\u00a0\n \u2022 The authors link the male warrior hypothesis to racism: white men, they say, show greater fear responses to pictures of black men, than do white women. But this is difficult to explain on any evolutionary hypothesis, since there would have been little ethnic diversity in our ancestral past. Racism is more readily linked to the social history of slavery, an industry run by men.\n \u2022 The authors also remark that women become more racist at times of peak fertility, suggesting fear of impregnation by foreign invaders. A different explanation is that menstrual peaks also bring out strong emotions, which lets latent racism come to the fore.\nThe male warrior hypothesis makes many predictions that don't pan out. There is no evidence that men prefer foreign women--the Western ideal is Barbie--and women often like effeminate men: David Bowie would not be sexier with an enormous beard. On the male warrior hypothesis, women should fear foreigners as much as men do, because foreign men are hardwired to attack them, but women are actually more sympathetic to foreigners. This may stem from their firsthand knowledge of discrimination. Women are also more cooperative than men, which makes little sense if men are innate coalition builders.\n\nThere are dubious presuppositions as well. The warrior hypothesis assumes there was constant warfare in our evolutionary past, but some anthropologists argue that ancestral populations were too sparse for frequent contact. It also presupposes that warfare increases male fertility, when it may actually reduce fertility for all. Fertility is probably maximized when men are non-violent and share in childcare, but in many societies men beat their wives, neglect their children, and practice sex-selective infanticide against girls. The authors perpetuate the myth that evolution prefers men to be polygamous and females to be monogamous, but we see every variation in other species. In chimpanzees, both sexes seek multiple partners.\n\nSocial history explains such facts by proposing that men have taken power by their greater strength, leading to violent competition and the abuse of women. This approach correctly predicts cross-cultural variation in gender differences. As women gain economic power, they cease being treated as male property, age differences between romantic partners shrink, and violence against women diminishes. On the flipside, women who gain power, like Margaret Thatcher and Condalisa Rice, are often hawkish, suggesting that power, not gender, determines belligerence. Women in the judiciary dole out harsher penalties than men. And woman are committing more acts of domestic violence than previously recorded.\n\nTo reduce male violence, it is not sufficient to reform men, as the defenders of the male warrior hypothesis recommend. Nor will it suffice to empower women. This will reduce domestic violence, but not war, because women can be as aggressive as men. Warfare did not decline precipitously with women's suffrage, and during recent conflicts with Russia, 43 percent of Chechen suicide bombers have been women. Crucially, we must reduce the incentives for violence. In a recent book, Steven Pinker documents a radical reduction in violence with the rise of democracy and global trade, a comforting confirmation that social factors matter (for two reviews see here and here). I think Pinker's optimism may be overstated: global trade has done less to remedy the poverty that devastates lives of people outside the economic partnerships between wealthy nations; healthy trading relationships can lead one nation to overlook the human rights abuses in another; and there have also been dozens of attempts at genocide since the Second World War. \u00a0In fact, Pinker too eagerly accepts the myth of the ignoble savage: the idea that humans are violent by nature. \u00a0But his book does contain a crucial insight. \u00a0He", "base_doc": " them meet significant start up or procurement costs that may have to be incurred before construction begins.

Factors such as political instability, population density, and income inequality are associated with massive differences in violence across cultures, and these differences are observed while gender ratios remain constant. Of course, men still hold most of the power in the world, and it is no surprise, then, that they perpetrate most of the violence. \u00a0But that too is a historical fact, not a biological given. \u00a0If we focus on biology instead of economic and historical variables, we will miss out on opportunities for progress.\n\nJesse Prinz, Ph.D.\n\nJesse Prinz\nJesse Prinz is a Distinguished Professor at the City University of New York, Graduate Center.

His original goal was to reach Pole in time for New Years Day, but his trip was delayed by unexpectedly deep snow as well as rough sastrugi.\n\nThe motorcycle, seen above, was a modification based on the Yamaha liquid-cooled DR200, with the engine area heavily insulated.\n\nShinji had previously reached the North Pole in April 1987 on an air-cooled Yamaha (perhaps a modification based on the TW 200 and/or TY250), so he is the only person to reach both Poles by motorcycle. His other exploits included altitude records for motorcycle climbs on Everest (to 19,701 feet in 1986) as well as Mount Kilimanjaro and Mt. Fuji. He was the first Japanese finisher in the Dakar Rally motorcycle race in 1982, and although he was severely injured in that event in 2004, he has continued to participate in cycling, motorcycle and other extreme distance events.\n\nHis North Pole trip set out from Ward Hunt Island in what is now Nunavut, Canada, and he was accompanied by a support team of three Japanese and 2 Inuit on two snowmobiles. While the straight-line distance was 470 miles, the actual trip covered 1,250 miles over 44 days, due to shifting ice conditions.\n\nOn his South Pole trip he was accompanied by a snowmobile (photo below) so obviously it wasn't a solo adventure. I've been unable to determine the size of the team. They obtained fuel from prepositioned caches along the way. At times a ski was attached to the front wheel of the motorcycle.The expedition team left this snowmobile behind at Pole...I wonder what happened to it. (Also note in the background the partially constructed shell of the elevated dorm.)\n\nJapanese snowmachine at Pole\n\nShinji's 24-day speed record would stand until December 2005, when a mostly-British team drove a modified 6x6 Ford Econoline from PH to Pole in a bit more than 69 hours.\n\nThanks to Frederick McDougall for these photos!<|endoftext|>Lesson TeeMay 7, 2013\n\nZach Johnson: Steal My Feel\n\nPitch with your arms, not your hands\n\nLETTER PERFECT: As you swing through, try to maintain the \"V\" formed by your arms.\n\nWhen you set your wedge down at address, take a look at all that loft. This club was born to hit high, soft shots. And yet many of you don't trust it to do its job. You try to help the ball into the air by adding a lot of wrist action to your pitch shots. Trust me, wrist action might help you pitch it higher and with more backspin, but it increases your chances of hitting it fat or thin. It's not worth the risk.\n\nInstead, when you sole the club, notice that your arms form a \"V\" shape. Your goal is to preserve the \"V\" as you swing the club back and through. There should be very little hand action or forearm rotation. All you're trying to do is maintain the clubface loft that you established at address. That makes the ball fly nice and high and with plenty of spin. Keep it simple.\n\nZACH JOHNSON has won nine times on the PGA Tour, including the 2007 Masters Tournament.<|endoftext|>\u00ab Pretty baby all mixed up.... | Gene Expression Front Page | Hierarchy of responsibility, moving on down the totem pole.... \u00bb\nDecember 30, 2003\n\nCold Mountain, conscription and war\n\nJust went and saw the film Cold Mountain. Earlier in the day I read Abiola note that \"it is the height of absurdity that an entire movie could be made about the American Civil War without putting any focus on the central issue at stake in that war.\" Well, I think there was a nominal (perhaps tokenistic) nodd to the slavery issue, and there were more black faces in the background than on the set of Friends. Also, I would point out that there was the stock Evil-Blonde-Blue-Eyed-Guy that seems to show up in many movies made today. Overall, a good film. Nicole Kidman was exquisite, blah, blah, blah....\n\nI want to focus in on a small part of the film: near the beginning the young bucks exclaim that \"they have their war.\" I wonder if this isn't back-projection of the famed hysteria of 1914 in Europe to the Civil War just like The Patriot put the souls of the Waffen-SS in the bodies of British soldiers during the Revolutionary War. But in any case, the concept of war hysteria is interesting to me. I just had a recent post that pointed toward some historical differences between professional and conscript armies.\n\nThe Civil War was in many ways an appetizer for the industrialized conscript wars of the 20th century. But in the beginning there were often plenty of volunteers. I just recently read The Pursuit of Power by William McNeill where he asserts that this sort of patriotic fervor was a product of the nationalism that emerged out of the 18th century and matured in the 19th. Could one imagine the peasants of Germany rising up to fight for their heimat as they did in in the 19th century against both Austria and France in the 16th? In 1525 the commoners of southwest Germany rose up against their overlords, roused by the sermons of Thomas Muntzer, and they were crushed by the professionals. On the other hand, the New Model Army, a mix of nonconformists and Puritans, destroyed the Royalist Cavaliers in the 1640s.\n\nConscript vs. professional. The dichotomy can be hard to parse sometimes, especially in the recent past when fear of being ostracized by one's community might have compelled Canadian men to fight for the Queen in World War I or American boys to avenge Pearl Harbor in World War II. Today the American army is both professional and patriotic. As I noted earlier in the week, the two do not always go hand in hand.\n\nHistorians like Victor Davis Hanson like to point to classical precedents in showing what makes Western man what he is. The free citizens of Greece stood up to the combined might of the Persian army and defeated them. Centuries later, the free citizens of Rome outlast", "base_doc": " bake for 20-30 minutes at 400 degrees.\n\nThey should come out crispy and screaming.

He was the first Japanese finisher in the Dakar Rally motorcycle race in 1982, and although he was severely injured in that event in 2004, he has continued to participate in cycling, motorcycle and other extreme distance events.\n\nHis North Pole trip set out from Ward Hunt Island in what is now Nunavut, Canada, and he was accompanied by a support team of three Japanese and 2 Inuit on two snowmobiles. While the straight-line distance was 470 miles, the actual trip covered 1,250 miles over 44 days, due to shifting ice conditions.\n\nOn his South Pole trip he was accompanied by a snowmobile (photo below) so obviously it wasn't a solo adventure. I've been unable to determine the size of the team. They obtained fuel from prepositioned caches along the way. At times a ski was attached to the front wheel of the motorcycle.The expedition team left this snowmobile behind at Pole...I wonder what happened to it. (Also note in the background the partially constructed shell of the elevated dorm.)\n\nJapanese snowmachine at Pole\n\nShinji's 24-day speed record would stand until December 2005, when a mostly-British team drove a modified 6x6 Ford Econoline from PH to Pole in a bit more than 69 hours.\n\nThanks to Frederick McDougall for these photos!<|endoftext|>Lesson TeeMay 7, 2013\n\nZach Johnson: Steal My Feel\n\nPitch with your arms, not your hands\n\nLETTER PERFECT: As you swing through, try to maintain the \"V\" formed by your arms.\n\nWhen you set your wedge down at address, take a look at all that loft. This club was born to hit high, soft shots. And yet many of you don't trust it to do its job. You try to help the ball into the air by adding a lot of wrist action to your pitch shots. Trust me, wrist action might help you pitch it higher and with more backspin, but it increases your chances of hitting it fat or thin. It's not worth the risk.\n\nInstead, when you sole the club, notice that your arms form a \"V\" shape. Your goal is to preserve the \"V\" as you swing the club back and through. There should be very little hand action or forearm rotation. All you're trying to do is maintain the clubface loft that you established at address. That makes the ball fly nice and high and with plenty of spin. Keep it simple.\n\nZACH JOHNSON has won nine times on the PGA Tour, including the 2007 Masters Tournament.<|endoftext|>\u00ab Pretty baby all mixed up.... | Gene Expression Front Page | Hierarchy of responsibility, moving on down the totem pole.... \u00bb\nDecember 30, 2003\n\nCold Mountain, conscription and war\n\nJust went and saw the film Cold Mountain. Earlier in the day I read Abiola note that \"it is the height of absurdity that an entire movie could be made about the American Civil War without putting any focus on the central issue at stake in that war.\" Well, I think there was a nominal (perhaps tokenistic) nodd to the slavery issue, and there were more black faces in the background than on the set of Friends. Also, I would point out that there was the stock Evil-Blonde-Blue-Eyed-Guy that seems to show up in many movies made today. Overall, a good film. Nicole Kidman was exquisite, blah, blah, blah....\n\nI want to focus in on a small part of the film: near the beginning the young bucks exclaim that \"they have their war.\" I wonder if this isn't back-projection of the famed hysteria of 1914 in Europe to the Civil War just like The Patriot put the souls of the Waffen-SS in the bodies of British soldiers during the Revolutionary War. But in any case, the concept of war hysteria is interesting to me. I just had a recent post that pointed toward some historical differences between professional and conscript armies.\n\nThe Civil War was in many ways an appetizer for the industrialized conscript wars of the 20th century. But in the beginning there were often plenty of volunteers. I just recently read The Pursuit of Power by William McNeill where he asserts that this sort of patriotic fervor was a product of the nationalism that emerged out of the 18th century and matured in the 19th. Could one imagine the peasants of Germany rising up to fight for their heimat as they did in in the 19th century against both Austria and France in the 16th? In 1525 the commoners of southwest Germany rose up against their overlords, roused by the sermons of Thomas Muntzer, and they were crushed by the professionals. On the other hand, the New Model Army, a mix of nonconformists and Puritans, destroyed the Royalist Cavaliers in the 1640s.\n\nConscript vs. professional. The dichotomy can be hard to parse sometimes, especially in the recent past when fear of being ostracized by one's community might have compelled Canadian men to fight for the Queen in World War I or American boys to avenge Pearl Harbor in World War II. Today the American army is both professional and patriotic. As I noted earlier in the week, the two do not always go hand in hand.\n\nHistorians like Victor Davis Hanson like to point to classical precedents in showing what makes Western man what he is. The free citizens of Greece stood up to the combined might of the Persian army and defeated them. Centuries later, the free citizens of Rome outlasted the armies of Hannibal in a war of attrition. In both cases, volunteers of their free will, but not professionals, defeated a mix of mercen", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 184868, "pt_loc": 13757931, "pt_shuffle_idx": 90332445, "doc_index_f": 141597988, "doc_index_l": 141597992, "offset_f": 166, "offset_l": 665, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 288, "pt_injection_len": 321, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [113, 509, 492, 269, 666]}

The Mussallem Law Firm, P.A. has represented hundreds of people charged with this felony. Child abuse cases tend to evoke the emotions of all the parties involved, including the police and the prosecutor. These emotions can cloud the truth and interfere with your rights.\n\nIn Florida, child abuse is defined as the intentional infliction of physical or mental injury on a child, an intentional act that could reasonably be expected to result in physical or mental injury on the child, or the active encouragement of a person to commit a child abuse. The state attorney must prove that you knowingly abused the child. If convicted of a child abuse that does not cause great bodily harm, permanent disability, or permanent disfigurement, you are facing up to 5 years in prison because the child abuse is considered a third degree felony.\n\nOften times, a child's school or day care center will\u00a0 report marks, bruises or abrasions to the Department of Children and Families.\u00a0 The Department will begin an investigation and will always contact the police department in the county the child is located in.\u00a0 The police will begin a separate investigation of their own.\u00a0 Even if the Department concludes there was no intentional child abuse, the police can make an arrest if they choose.\u00a0 The opposite is also true.\u00a0 If the police department decides not to make an arrest, the Department can keep the \"abusive\" parent out of the home and away from the child or children.\u00a0 While the two investigations (DCF and police) are related, they are completely separate.\n\nAn \u201cAggravated Child Abuse\u201d occurs when a suspect commits an aggravated battery on a child, willfully tortures, maliciously punishes, willfully cages, or in the course of committing the child abuse, the suspect causes great bodily harm, permanent disability or permanent disfigurement. If you are convicted of aggravated child abuse, the maximum punishment is 30 years in prison because it is considered a first degree felony.\n\nChild Neglect is a felony in Florida that is related to Child Abuse. The crime of child neglect is committed if a caregiver fails to provide a child with the care and supervision necessary to keep the child physically and mentally safe. Examples of things necessary for children are food, clothes, shelter, supervision, medicine and anything a reasonable person would consider essential. Child neglect can be committed just once or repeatedly. If the neglect does not cause great bodily harm, the neglect is considered a third degree felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison. If the child is harmed, the offender is facing a second degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison.\n\nContributing to the Delinquency of a Minor is another criminal charge in Jacksonville associated with Child Abuse. A contributing crime occurs when someone commits any act that causes or encourages a child to become a delinquent or when someone induces a child to commit any act that tends to cause the child to become or remain a dependent or delinquent. Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor is a first degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 1 year in jail.\n\nAny accusation involving children is serious and requires a serious Jacksonville Child Abuse Attorney.\u00a0 Contact Victoria \"Tori\" Mussallem today to discuss your case.\u00a0 We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (904) 365-5200.\n\nContact Us For A Free Consultation\nOffice Phone Number<|endoftext|>Daily Reaction: Sequels Vs. New IPs \u2013 Where Do You Stand?\n\nDecember 19, 2013Written by Dan Oravasaari\n\nFallout Series\n\nEach year, gamers around the world eagerly await announcements about some upcoming game, but there has always been a split between people wanting a new IP or the next iteration of some beloved franchise. With that, the Daily Reaction crew of Seb and Dan discuss the pros and cons of each type to try and figure out which is better for gamers and the industry as a whole.\n\nDan: This is a topic that I am actually pretty torn on, as there are a number of franchises that I absolutely love and would not want to see them replaced with a brand new IP. But, having seen the number of amazing new brands released by some of my favorite developers, it is hard to dispute the benefit of getting something like The Last of Us instead of another Uncharted title that soon.\n\nMost of the issues people are having with sequels probably stems from the yearly releases of games like Call of Duty, which have now become the poster child for milked IPs. Putting the quality of each COD title aside, it seems that many people are finding it difficult to feel any sense of revitalization for the franchise, as a it is obvious that a number of assets and/or code are being recycled each year. This means that no matter what, gamers familiar with the franchise are going to already feel like they have put countless hours into a game they haven\u2019t even played yet \u2013 which is probably the main reason some of us like sequels to begin with.\n\nAs there will always be more games released than we have time to actually play, the ability to understand the fundamentals of a title right out of the gate is a great way to maximize your time. The only issue is, will you actually be getting a new experience? Or just playing something familiar to not have to learn anything new?\n\nDespite having a stint of over using a particular Italian character, the Assassin\u2019s Creed franchise as of late has done a wonderful job of keeping a familiar title feeling fresh. Even though some mechanics from the previous titles are continually used, it doesn\u2019t crutch on them, instead it finds a way to incorporate them. Which is exactly the benefit of being able to create a sequel, as you already have a foundation to build off of and are able to create a much more detailed and engrossing experience without having to spend part of your budget to reproduce it.\n\nThis leads me to the other major factor: Franchise are generally a safer bet than launching a new IP, as it is easy to understand your install base as well as get an idea as to what to improve the next time around (plus you already have fans). This is the simple concept that is the driving force for why Madden, Call of Duty and other titles are seeing more releases each year, as people are willing to buy them, which means guaranteed revenue.\n\nA problem with this concept though, is that for an industry to grow, we need to be able to not only bring in new gamers, but also keep things fresh for those already invested. To do this, however, we simply cannot rely on new IPs as a great deal of the money invested in building a new brand needs to come from existing franchises. So, even if you don\u2019t like seeing the same games each year, just with new hats, realize that the only reason we do get to see some AAA developers take risks on new", "base_doc": "? \u00a0Buggers were probably watching mkubwa on Al Jazeera, thereby negating attempts to control information getting to them. \u00a0All I\u2019m saying is, war spin in this day and age needs to be a bit more sophisticated, the natives have iPhones. \u00a0Detour over. \u00a0 This is all speculation on my part, its my attempt at understanding why any right thinking journalist wouldn\u2019t question the dodgy statements coming out the minister\u2019s mouth, and the even dodgier releases on the ministry\u2019s twitter feed. \u00a0Mattresses? \u00a0There is no fire? \u00a0The fire is out? \u00a0We are in control? \u00a0There are no hostages? \u00a0There are no bodies? \u00a0He\u2019s not completely shit-faced drunk in front of the camera, he\u2019s grieving? \u00a0There was no light-bulb moment in any of those newsrooms, someone sitting up and saying, \u201cHang on, we is being bamboozled\u2026\u201d? \u00a0No no, these buggers were too busy making money selling us \u2018no-news today\u2019 news, basking in their unfortunately more than 10 minutes of fame, \u2018engaging\u2019 with facebook and twirra, and generally wasting our bloody time.\n\nDo you think I\u2019m being too harsh? \u00a0Perhaps I am, but they are called the fourth estate for a particular reason. \u00a0In theory, the press is the custodian of public interest. \u00a0In theory. \u00a0In reality, The Nation prints a List of Westgate mallvictims \u2013 UPDATED, a list that proudly proclaims the cosmopolitan nature of the deaths right up top, and then proceeds to list people like cattle, only bothering to put in details of a token few, they of relevant fame and/or importance? The list is incomplete, by the way, but why should that be of any concern to those buggers? In reality, The Sunday Standard prints an article claiming National IntelligenceService report warned of Nairobi terror attacks, and then goes ahead to state therein, \u201cNIS\u00a0submitted a Situation Report dated September 21, 2002 \u2014 Serial No.184/2012 \u2014 which indicated that at least three suspected terrorists were in Nairobi planning suicide attacks on undisclosed dates.\u201d September 21, 2002?\n\nIn reality, our media is simply another part of the establishment. God forbid they actually do something not in their own self interest, like actively pursue the whereabouts of the approximately 59 people still listed as missing (Kenya Red Cross).\n\nI\u2019ll say it again.\n\nIdiot press.<|endoftext|>Child Abuse\n\nIf you are arrested for Child Abuse in Jacksonville, you will need to consult with an experienced child abuse attorney as soon as possible. The Mussallem Law Firm, P.A. has represented hundreds of people charged with this felony. Child abuse cases tend to evoke the emotions of all the parties involved, including the police and the prosecutor. These emotions can cloud the truth and interfere with your rights.\n\nIn Florida, child abuse is defined as the intentional infliction of physical or mental injury on a child, an intentional act that could reasonably be expected to result in physical or mental injury on the child, or the active encouragement of a person to commit a child abuse. The state attorney must prove that you knowingly abused the child. If convicted of a child abuse that does not cause great bodily harm, permanent disability, or permanent disfigurement, you are facing up to 5 years in prison because the child abuse is considered a third degree felony.\n\nOften times, a child's school or day care center will\u00a0 report marks, bruises or abrasions to the Department of Children and Families.\u00a0 The Department will begin an investigation and will always contact the police department in the county the child is located in.\u00a0 The police will begin a separate investigation of their own.\u00a0 Even if the Department concludes there was no intentional child abuse, the police can make an arrest if they choose.\u00a0 The opposite is also true.\u00a0 If the police department decides not to make an arrest, the Department can keep the \"abusive\" parent out of the home and away from the child or children.\u00a0 While the two investigations (DCF and police) are related, they are completely separate.\n\nAn \u201cAggravated Child Abuse\u201d occurs when a suspect commits an aggravated battery on a child, willfully tortures, maliciously punishes, willfully cages, or in the course of committing the child abuse, the suspect causes great bodily harm, permanent disability or permanent disfigurement.

Well, actually, it pretty much is an empty stadium. With classes back in session at Cal State Dominguez Hills, the attendance has been capped at 2,000.\n\nAs a colleague told me, some prestigious tournament.\n\nAnyway, there is a game to be played and a berth in the CONCACAF Champions League proper to be had. Chivas USA needs to win 2-0 to have a shot at advancing. A three-goal win regardless of Tauro's goals gets Chivas through. Anything less and the Panamanians will get through.\n\nDon't have the lineups yet but I can piece together this from Chivas' pre-game warm ups.\n\nZach Thornton; Jonathan Bornstein, Jim Curtin, Bobby Burling, Francisco Mendoza; Justin Braun, Kraig Chiles, Paulo Nagamura, Sacha Kljestan; Atiba Harris, Roberto Nurse.\n\nI hadn't expected Alecko Eskandarian or Ante Razov to start. They're warming up though along with Lawson Vaughn, Keith Savage, Jorge Flores and Daniel Paladini among others.\n\nOkay, I missed a couple of players. It's Eric Ebert instead of Kraig Chiles and Dan Kennedy in place of Zach Thornton. So...\n\nCHIVAS USA: Dan Kennedy; Jonathan Bornstein, Jim Curtin, Bobby Burling, Eric Ebert; Francisco Mendoza, Sacha Kljestan, Paulo Nagamura, Atiba Harris; Justin Braun, Roberto Nurse.\n\nTAURO FC:", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 189776, "pt_loc": 43763617, "pt_shuffle_idx": 129691883, "doc_index_f": 203268471, "doc_index_l": 203268472, "offset_f": 2509, "offset_l": 374, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 281, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [1674, 375]}

Sigh.\n\nUhhh.. Muleman: Polanco played 95 games for the Phillies at 3rd base from 2002 \u2013 2005.\n\nIt\u2019s still an upgrade over Feliz of course. Polanco put up a .727 OPS to Feliz\u2019s .694 last year, and his BABIP was sort of low so hopefully he\u2019ll recover and post something to his 2008 \u2013 .768. Still, Beltre offers elite defense and generally a ton of value, I don\u2019t understand why Rube would prefer Polanco.\n\nbeltre would cost about 8 mil a year for 3years minimum. polanco is a great short term, cheaper solution because of his age. but its not like the phils have a great prospect ready to come play in 2010 or 2011. if this were the case, id say definitely go for polanco until the young 3rd baseman was ready to come up. for the reason that nobody is in the minors, i think beltre is the best option to secure a solid 3rd baseman, with power, at age 31, that can still put up productive years. im tellin ya though, his contract might be more than what ruben wants to spend\u2026i really think it would be around 24-26mil for 3 years.\n\nThis is supposed to excite the fanbase? Why is Amaro targeting retreads?\n\nI would hope Amaro is more concerned with getting the most production for his money than exciting the fanbase. Nonetheless, I\u2019m not sure Polanco represents that.\n\nPolanco is hardly a retread, but I still prefer Beltre. If it\u2019s an economic decision, I don\u2019t think he would cost that much more. I hope they at least kicked the tires with him.\n\nljs: OK, I stand corrected. But he\u2019s played exactly 1 game at third since then. I still think he\u2019s a downgrade from Beltre. And 95 games out of 1,014 isn\u2019t exactly making him an everyday third baseman.\n\nI want Beltre. I think Polanco could be a fall back guy but he hasn\u2019t played 3rd base for basically 5 seasons. He is a great defensive 2nd baseman but I really don\u2019t know if he will be able to give us the same defense that we have been used to from Feliz. Beltre will actually be an upgrade with the glove and with the bat over Feliz. Also, Amaro is going to have some tough budget decisions to make after this season and he could have quite a bit of financial flexibility depending on what he does. I don\u2019t see Werth coming back so we are going to need a RH power bat and Beltre could provide that next year.\n\nphylan: Let\u2019s not get worked-up over a 3% increase in OPS. It\u2019s a blip over 600-some at bats. And why would Amaro be concerned with \u201cexciting the fanbase?\u201d They sold-out 73 home games last year and stand to at least equal that number in 2010. I still think the key word is \u201cmoney.\u201d\nThey still need to improve their bench. They can win 100 games and all that, but when they get to another World Series and have to use a DH or call on a key pinch hitter their weakness is exposed.\n\nWHile both Beltre and Polanco are good options it is obvious why Amaro prefers Polanco-he\u2019s a top of the order hitter. We don\u2019t need more power, but do need a guy to get on base regularly in front of Utley, Howard, Werth etc. THe lineup could very well be: Polanco, Victorino, Utley, Howard, Werth, Ibanez, Rollins, Ruiz, Pitcher. THis gives us .300 hitter leading off, who almost never strikes out, and a leadoff hitter batting 7th, to either keep the inning going, or start it off and not have the pitcher the 3rd out. THink of ROllins instead of Feliz in the order. Plus Polanco has no injury issues\n\nWhy are people so convinced that a move to 3rd base from 2nd base is such an issue? If a guy wins 2 consecutive gold gloves at 2nd base, he knows how to play the infield. He has lightning fast reactions, can stretch, get up fast and fire a strike to 1st base. Someone please tell me why fielding third base is so different and needs to be considered when moving a guy there from 2nd. To me, they\u2019re both infield positions. Is it because its a little further away than 2nd and needs a stronger arm to reach 1st? Thats ridiculous.\n\nNone of the candidates add more power anyway. And I don\u2019t really want a guy who has an OBP in the .320-.330 range leading off. Nor is Rollins a \u201clead off hitter\u201d with the OBPs he\u2019s been putting up lately. Vic could do it.\n\njoebridgenc, The longer throw is an important diffence, but #rd is much closer to the hitter than @nd, so a fielder has to have excellent reaction to line drives and hard hit grounders. Also 3rd basemen have to field bunts or swinging bunts hit that way. It helps to be able to charge a soft grounder, bare-hand it, and throw off-balance to first. Doubleplays are different. Basically, it\u2019s the same: you field grounds and liners and throw the ball. But the angles, speed of the ball, and throwing distance are all different.\n\nThe failures and reverses which await men \u2013 and one after another sadden the brow of youth \u2013 add a dignity to the prospect of human life, which no Arcadian success would do.

I am a big fan of the normal Copella Cloudy Apple, and I love mango juice, so thought this could only be a big hit. For the little 250ml bottles it is usually 79p in Morrisons, however the freezer shop sells them 4 for \u00a31 quite regularly, although the flavours vary. As the fruit juice is entirely natural, with no added sweeteners or flavours, and is providing one of your 5 a day I consider this to be great value. The Cloudy Apple and Mango has a milder taste than the pure Cloudy Apple, and a less overpowering smell. The mango adds a clear cut to the otherwise fairly heavy apples, and tastes light and pure. As this is a fresh product there is a certain level of sedimentation, however it mostly mixes in if you shake well, although the last mouthful of the bottle can be a little grainy. The taste is pure and leaves a lovely aftertaste, at no point does this taste or smell artificial. Despite being very natural, a bottle bought in a standard shop tends to have a 4-6 week expiry date on it, although this is less with the cut price ones at the freezer shop. Copella comes in several other flavours, including cloudy apple, apple and elderflower, apple and raspberry, and apple and blackberry. I have to say the traditional cloudy apple is still my favourite, but the apple and mango is a close second, and gorgeous chilled on a hot day with a splash of gin in it!\n\nMetro Centre, Newcastle 22/11/2009\n\nOne of the first out of town shopping centres and still popular\n\nMetro Centre, Newcastle The metro centre is a very large out of town shopping centre, and was one of the first out of town shopping centres in the UK. It is all indoors, with individual shops accessed from galleried walkways. It is quite complicated to navigate due to the size, but there are maps on every corner. Since then the site has expanded and there are now many separate shops such as IKEA, ILVA, ASDA, furniture shops, Pizza Hut, etc. These are all located outside the main metro centre complex, there is a shuttle bus between the different stores, as once outside the main metro centre you are faced with a fairly baffling car-led road system. Within the metro centre there is a cinema, lots of restaurants and bars, the shops (of course!) and a big indoor theme park to keep the kids amused while you do your shopping. There is a huge variety of shops, great for doing the Christmas shopping. The shops themselves are often quite small in the original complex, there are a few large signiture shops such as M&S and House of Fraser but many shops such as Oasis, Warehouse etc are understocked compared to their counterpart in Newcastle town centre. Recently the metro centre has expanded, the new arcade is much lighter and brighter, and boasts trendier shops.\n\nLush (Shop) 21/11/2009\n\nLuxury bath goodies for realistic prices\n\nLush (Shop) Lush are a cosmetics and bubble bath type shop, specialising in fresh, natural products in all things smelly. Almost everything is made fresh, and comes with an expiry date. This can be as little as a week away, so it is very important to check especially when purchasing for a gift. The labels are designed such that the products sound tempting to the stomach as much as the skin, a lot of natural food ingredients are used in the recipies. The labels clearly state what is in the products so you can avoid any nasties or allergens. The most famous products are the bath bombs. These are very popular as gifts, but please, if buying one think about the recipient! It's all very well having a pretty pink glittery bath, but someone has to clean all that glitter afterwards, and unclog the drains from the dried rose petals!

The shoes are very trendy, although not necessarily very well made. I used to shop in Schuh when I was younger, however the synthetic materials have lost their allure now I'm in my 20s, and the last few times I have passed by I have thought the styles quite dated and common.

I am a big fan of the normal Copella Cloudy Apple, and I love mango juice, so thought this could only be a big hit. For the little 250ml bottles it is usually 79p in Morrisons, however the freezer shop sells them 4 for \u00a31 quite regularly, although the flavours vary. As the fruit juice is entirely natural, with no added sweeteners or flavours, and is providing one of your 5 a day I consider this to be great value. The Cloudy Apple and Mango has a milder taste than the pure Cloudy Apple, and a less overpowering smell. The mango adds a clear cut to the otherwise fairly heavy apples, and tastes light and pure. As this is a fresh product there is a certain level of sedimentation, however it mostly mixes in if you shake well, although the last mouthful of the bottle can be a little grainy. The taste is pure and leaves a lovely aftertaste, at no point does this taste or smell artificial. Despite being very natural, a bottle bought in a standard shop tends to have a 4-6 week expiry date on it, although this is less with the cut price ones at the freezer shop. Copella comes in several other flavours, including cloudy apple, apple and elderflower, apple and raspberry, and apple and blackberry. I have to say the traditional cloudy apple is still my favourite, but the apple and mango is a close second, and gorgeous chilled on a hot day with a splash of gin in it!\n\nMetro Centre, Newcastle 22/11/2009\n\nOne of the first out of town shopping centres and still popular\n\nMetro Centre, Newcastle The metro centre is a very large out of town shopping centre, and was one of the first out of town shopping centres in the UK. It is all indoors, with individual shops accessed from galleried walkways. It is quite complicated to navigate due to the size, but there are maps on every corner. Since then the site has expanded and there are now many separate shops such as IKEA, ILVA, ASDA, furniture shops, Pizza Hut, etc. These are all located outside the main metro centre complex, there is a shuttle bus between the different stores, as once outside the main metro centre you are faced with a fairly baffling car-led road system. Within the metro centre there is a cinema, lots of restaurants and bars, the shops (of course!) and a big indoor theme park to keep the kids amused while you do your shopping. There is a huge variety of shops, great for doing the Christmas shopping. The shops themselves are often quite small in the original complex, there are a few large signiture shops such as M&S and House of Fraser but many shops such as Oasis, Warehouse etc are understocked compared to their counterpart in Newcastle town centre. Recently the metro centre has expanded, the new arcade is much lighter and brighter, and boasts trendier shops.\n\nLush (Shop) 21/11/2009\n\nLuxury bath goodies for realistic prices\n\nLush (Shop) Lush are a cosmetics and bubble bath type shop, specialising in fresh, natural products in all things smelly. Almost everything is made fresh, and comes with an expiry date. This can be as little as a week away, so it is very important to check especially when purchasing for a gift. The labels are designed such that the products sound tempting to the stomach as much as the skin, a lot of natural food ingredients are used in the recipies. The labels clearly state what is in the products so you can avoid any nasties or allergens. The most famous products are the bath bombs. These are very popular as gifts, but please, if buying one think about the recipient! It's all very well having a pretty pink glittery bath, but someone has to clean all that glitter afterwards, and unclog the drains from the dried rose petals! Products change seasonally, and they do great Christmas gift bags. There is also an infamous sale, where product prices are hugely slashed by up to 80%. Lush is a great place to pick up a little 'treat' for your wife, and get in her good books for only a couple of pounds.

Shoes in Schuh do not seem especially reasonable though, and the average pair is over \u00a360. This seems very steep for a teenagers shoe shop, especially since they are not good enough quality to also be used as school shoes. I have noticed fewer people browsing recently, which is the same in most shops at the moment but Schuh seem to have really lost their allure. A rebranding and modernisation programme might help them to appeal to attract new customers or get old ones to return. Staff in my local Schuh have always been friendly, and will order products in if they do not have them in stock. There is a very good web ordering system and online store. Online sales are better than those in the shop, and it is easier to find the correct style and size to meet your needs. With direct competitors such as Office offering much higher quality shoes for the same price I feel Schuh either need to lower their prices or adapt to entice in people over the age of 21 who have more disposable income.\n\nFlares, Liverpool 21/11/2009\n\nCheap and cheerful and wonderfully retro\n\nFlares, Liverpool Flares is a chain of themed bars/clubs.

The USPTO rejected FDI\u2019s application because it deemed that the trademark disparaged Muslims and linked them to terrorism.\n\n\nAs a result, AFLC appealed the rejection of the SIOA mark to the Trademark Trial & Appeal Board (TTAB), filing a detailed and lengthy brief opposing the USPTO\u2019s ruling. \u00a0AFLC\u2019s brief demonstrated that the term \u201cIslamisation\u201d is not broadly defined as a conversion of an individual; or even a whole society to the religion of Islam; or to the state of being more culturally Islamic. Rather, AFLC argued, \u201cIslamisation\u201d is the process of implementing sharia into a society in order to convert that society to a sharia-compliant Islamic state.\n\nAt oral argument before the TTAB in Arlington, Virginia, Senior Counsel David Yerushalmi argued that the only probative evidence in the record for the actual meaning of \u201cIslamisation\u201d was that presented by his clients and which showed beyond any doubt that Muslims and non-Muslims alike used and understood \u201cIslamisation\u201d to be the political movement to implement Islamic law or sharia as the law of the land.\n\n\n\nCASE UPDATE (March 4, 2014):", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 194684, "pt_loc": 42271685, "pt_shuffle_idx": 180396054, "doc_index_f": 282792351, "doc_index_l": 282792353, "offset_f": 1175, "offset_l": 357, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 273, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [193, 1498, 358]}
-{"pt_doc": " the only ones inspired by nature. Biomimicry is becoming increasingly prevalent in our society as we seek innovative solutions to ever more complex problems. The world is looking to plants, insects, birds and more for answers, with incredible results.\n\n\nWhether it\u2019s on Earth or in space, it\u2019s hard to think of a world without Velcro. The granddaddy of biomimicry, the invention of Velcro was the result of a walk in the woods. George De Mestral was walking his dog in 1948 when inspiration struck. De Mestral noticed his dog, along with his clothing, was covered with cockleburs that were quite pesky to remove. The burrs were covered in tiny hooks, which were a perfect complement to the loops found in clothing or fur.\n\nLouder Than a Bullet\n\nFirst Generation Japanese Bullet Train at the National Railway Museum (Flickr)\n\nJapanese engineers solved their need for speed with the design of a new bullet train, but were facing another challenge. As trains were getting faster, reaching speeds exceeding 186 mph, they were getting so loud it was disturbing passengers, nearby residents and the wildlife. Living up to their name, the faster bullet trains generated a loud boom upon exiting a tunnel.\n\nThe solution came in the shape of the kingfisher\u2019s elegant beak. The kingfisher catches fish by diving beak-first without making a splash. By mimicking the kingfisher\u2019s beak, the engineers made the bullet train more aerodynamic. The new bullet trains were quieter and more energy efficient.\n\nThe Cities of the Future\n\nClimate change, increased population density, finite resources and the need for sustainable energy: Those needs are driving architectural innovation today and will be even more pressing in 2050 and beyond. Architects are looking to biomimicry to develop the buildings of the future.\n\nIn unassuming mounds, termites live in luxury. These efficient builders use a series of holes and chimneys for a natural central air conditioning system. The outer holes are heated by the sun during the day, which pushes the cooler interior air downward through the chimneys to supply oxygen to the queen and her subjects. Carbon dioxide travels up and the cycle repeats each day. The Eastgate Centre in Zimbabwe uses these same principles to stay cool and reduce energy costs.\n\nTermite-inspired buildings, skyscrapers made of bones and seashells and renewable energy from wind turbines shaped by the fins of humpback whales could be commonplace in the cities of the future.\n\nGet a Grip\n\nNASA is looking to the gecko to create an adhesive that can stand up to the harsh conditions of space. Geckos easily traverse walls on feet covered with tiny hairs called setae.

Biomimicry is becoming increasingly prevalent in our society as we seek innovative solutions to ever more complex problems. The world is looking to plants, insects, birds and more for answers, with incredible results.\n\n\nWhether it\u2019s on Earth or in space, it\u2019s hard to think of a world without Velcro. The granddaddy of biomimicry, the invention of Velcro was the result of a walk in the woods. George De Mestral was walking his dog in 1948 when inspiration struck. De Mestral noticed his dog, along with his clothing, was covered with cockleburs that were quite pesky to remove. The burrs were covered in tiny hooks, which were a perfect complement to the loops found in clothing or fur.\n\nLouder Than a Bullet\n\nFirst Generation Japanese Bullet Train at the National Railway Museum (Flickr)\n\nJapanese engineers solved their need for speed with the design of a new bullet train, but were facing another challenge. As trains were getting faster, reaching speeds exceeding 186 mph, they were getting so loud it was disturbing passengers, nearby residents and the wildlife. Living up to their name, the faster bullet trains generated a loud boom upon exiting a tunnel.\n\nThe solution came in the shape of the kingfisher\u2019s elegant beak. The kingfisher catches fish by diving beak-first without making a splash. By mimicking the kingfisher\u2019s beak, the engineers made the bullet train more aerodynamic. The new bullet trains were quieter and more energy efficient.\n\nThe Cities of the Future\n\nClimate change, increased population density, finite resources and the need for sustainable energy: Those needs are driving architectural innovation today and will be even more pressing in 2050 and beyond. Architects are looking to biomimicry to develop the buildings of the future.\n\nIn unassuming mounds, termites live in luxury. These efficient builders use a series of holes and chimneys for a natural central air conditioning system. The outer holes are heated by the sun during the day, which pushes the cooler interior air downward through the chimneys to supply oxygen to the queen and her subjects. Carbon dioxide travels up and the cycle repeats each day. The Eastgate Centre in Zimbabwe uses these same principles to stay cool and reduce energy costs.\n\nTermite-inspired buildings, skyscrapers made of bones and seashells and renewable energy from wind turbines shaped by the fins of humpback whales could be commonplace in the cities of the future.\n\nGet a Grip\n\nNASA is looking to the gecko to create an adhesive that can stand up to the harsh conditions of space. Geckos easily traverse walls on feet covered with tiny hairs called setae. The hairs keep on sticking even after a lifetime of use, which is especially useful when you have a limited amount of surface area aboard a spacecraft.\n\nThe grips on the bottom of a gecko\u2019s foot (Wikimedia Commons)\n\nGecko grippers don\u2019t require a second surface, like Velcro, and there\u2019s no messy residue left behind.

This passage is from the second chapter of the Lotus Sutra. It is from the theoretical discourse of the Buddha to Shariputra. Dogen returns to this again and again and again in the Hokke-ten-hokke. He refers again and again to \"disclosure, display, realization, and entering.\" The reason this is so revolutionary is because, if you think about it, it is very hard to believe that we can become just like the Buddha. No matter what kind of people we are, no matter what kind of shortcomings we have, no matter what kind of mistakes we have made, no matter how much we may have hurt ourselves or others, no matter how shortsighted we may feel, the buddha-knowledge is there for us. There are no exceptions to this. No exceptions at all. Not any based on gender, or race or ethnicity, or anything else. This is very hard for people to understand. Especially in those days when there were so many biases, so many ideas about how certain people weren't educated enough to become buddhas, or how certain genders were not qualified to become buddhas, or how certain people will never get it because they have selfishly gone off into the hills to attain their own liberation. Such hermits will never attain the compassion of a buddha. The Lotus Sutra is saying that the Buddha is trying to convey the very same enlightenment that he had to every single one of us. All his teachings come back to that point. This monk Fa-ta had trouble understanding that. He thought, \"If only a buddha together with a buddha can fathom the true reality of all existence then how can we get in on this? How can we possibly share in this?\" This was Fa-ta's attitude: \"This is something that only the buddhas can understand. I'm not up to this.\" The 6th Patriarch reprimands him and says, \"No, no. This is for you. Don't think that it is beyond your reach. This is for you.\" He says:\n You should not misinterpret, and come to the conclusion that Buddha-knowledge is something special to Buddha and not common to us all.... Such a misinterpretation would amount to slandering Buddha and blaspheming the sutra.\n When the monk finally gets it, \"Well, o.k. Maybe it really is meant for me.\" He says, \"Oh, I made such a big mistake. I wasted all that time reciting the sutra and I never got it. From this point on maybe I will not do that anymore.\" The 6th Patriarch says to him:\n There is nothing wrong in the sutra, so that you should refrain from reciting it. Whether sutra reciting will enlighten you or not or benefit you or no, all depends on yourself.\n Now there is the key point of this whole discourse between this monk and the 6th Patriarch. There are profound teachings in the Lotus Sutra. But if you are not opening yourself to it, it is just going to go right over your head as it did with Hakuin the first time he read the sutra. If you understand what the intention is, this book will come alive and become more than just a book, as it did for Hakuin later on, or Dogen. The crucial passage is where the 6th Patriarch says:\n He who recites the Sutra with the tongue and puts its teaching into actual practice with his mind \"turns round\" the Sutra. He who recites it without putting it into practice is \"turned round\" by the Sutra.\n So the sutra can help you or it can hurt you. We need to know the right way to approach it. Dogen took this as the theme to Hokke-ten-Hokke, \"The Flower of Dharma Turns the Flower of Dharma.\" Dogen said:\n ...no one has grasped the point of the Flower of Dharma turning, or mastered the point of turning the Flower of Dharma, in the manner of our founding Patriarch, the eternal Buddha of Sokei...The reality that exists as it is is a treasure, is brightness, is a seat of truth, is mind in delusion, the Flower of Dharma turning, and is mind in realization, turning the Flower of Dharma, which is really just the Flower of Dharma turning the Flower of Dharma.\n\n When the mind is in the state of delusion, the Flower of Dharma turns. When the mind is in the state of realization, we turn the Flower of Dharma. If perfect realization can be like this, The Flower of Dharma turns the Flower of Dharma.\n What in the world is he talking about? What could this mean? What did the 6th Patriarch mean by that? What did Dogen mean by that? Dogen doesn't even just leave it at that. The 6th Patriarch was talking about a monk being turned around by this sutra when he is confused by it, or being able to turn around the sutra when he knows how to use it. But Dogen is saying the Flower of Dharma is turning the Flower of Dharma itself, whether we are in delusion or not. What are they talking about?\n\n Well, here is what I think they are talking about. The Myoho Renge Kyo, which is the Japanese way of saying the Wonderful Dharma of the Lotus Flower Teaching, is not simply a book. The book called the Lotus Sutra is about the Wonderful Dharma of the Lotus Flower Teaching. What is that teaching? It seems to resonate throughout the ages. It seems to go beyond the discourse of any one buddha in history. It is the enlightenment of the Buddha. Myoho Renge Kyo as a scripture is another way of expressing and pointing towards Buddha's enlightenment. He says earlier in the essay:\n Truly, this [real wisdom] is the perfect realization of buddhas alone, together with buddhas. The Dharma-Flower's turning may be preaching it as the disclosure, display, realization, and entering of buddhas who are rightful successors, and of rightful successors of buddhas. This [real wisdom] is also called the Sutra of the Lotus Flower of the Wonderful Dharma, and it is the method of teaching bodhisattvas.\n So the Sutra of the Lotus Flower of the Wonderful Dharma, the Myoho Renge Kyo, is the Buddha's enlightenment shown and revealed. That enlightenment is not some kind of inner nodule of spirituality that exists in the pineal gland or something like that. It's not that. It's not some kind of force like in Star Wars, or some kind of sub-atomic field that exists through everything. Though many people seem to think of it that way. It is the dynamic process of life itself, right here, right now. This process is always going on, and we are a part of this process. We are an expression of this process. The Lotus Sutra is an expression of this process, and Shakyamuni Buddha is expressing this process. What Dogen is talking about continuously throughout Hokke-ten-Hokke is that even when we are deluded and don't know what we are doing, even when we are bumping into the walls and creating a mess, that Flower of Dharma, that enlightenment of the Buddha, that process that is reality itself is still going on. It still has you in it's grasp. It is turning us. When we realize what it is, then we are fully, knowingly, and mindfully participating in that enlightenment. Then we are the Flower of Dharma turning the Flower of Dharma. I'm not sure if I have made that entirely clear, but that is what the questions and answers will be for afterwards and then I can make another attempt at it.\n\n Parables of the Lotus Sutra\n\n Let me move on now, to the parables. Up until now we have been talking about this very abstractly, very theoretically, just the way Shakyamuni does in the second chapter when he is speaking with Shariputra. Shariputra, of course, has the reputation for being the heady academic, the abstract scholastic disciple of the Buddha. In fact he is the one who is blamed, or perhaps I should say credited,", "base_doc": " here. This passage is from the second chapter of the Lotus Sutra.

I'm not sure if I have made that entirely clear, but that is what the questions and answers will be for afterwards and then I can make another attempt at it.\n\n Parables of the Lotus Sutra\n\n Let me move on now, to the parables. Up until now we have been talking about this very abstractly, very theoretically, just the way Shakyamuni does in the second chapter when he is speaking with Shariputra. Shariputra, of course, has the reputation for being the heady academic, the abstract scholastic disciple of the Buddha. In fact he is the one who is blamed, or perhaps I should say credited, with the Abhidharma. So let's get away from that level and move into the parables which follow the more scholarly discourses of the second chapter.\n\n The first one which the 6th Patriarch talks about is the Parable of the Burning House. There are seven parables in the Lotus Sutra, but I am only going to give you a sketchy outline of the first two for now. In the third chapter of the Lotus Sutra is the Parable of the Burning House, the favorite of the 6th Patriarch and the other Zen Masters. There is a wonderful description in there, especially in the verse section, of how horrible this house is. There are insects and rats, monsters and ogres, and all kinds of other creatures.

She was also known as \u201cthe Brigid of Munster\u201d. It was said that Ida embodied the six virtues of womanhood \u2013 wisdom, purity, beauty, musical ability, gentle speech and needle craft. Her feast day is the 15th of January and she was also known as a prophetess and spiritual director. Genealogies of the saints state that Ida\u2019s mother Necht was a daughter of Dallbronach, making Ida a cousin of Brigid.\n\nIt is well known that many of the Irish saints are really ancient Irish gods in disguise, adopted by the early christian church in Ireland in order to ease the conversion of the pagan population. There is no record of a Pagan Ida Goddess in Ireland, instead we are presented with her life story including dates of birth and death, in much the same way as we are with St Brigid. But we know that St Brigid has many of the attributes and associations of the earlier Goddess Brigid. They are largely the same character. At this point I would like to remind readers that in previous articles we have shown that the local tribe the Brigantes and their patron goddess Briganti are evident in our local landscape.\n\nOne very interesting area of investigation is the similarities and links between the ancient Irish language and stories, and that of the Indian Rig Veda of the ancient Verdic peoples. There are many websites and articles that document some of the many fascinating links, but one that I would like to point to now is the Verdic Goddess Ida. This Hindustani goddess of speech, the earth, and the source of abundant food and nourishment was seen as the primary cause of the origins, continuance and dissolution of all beings. Cows and milk are sacred to Ida, whereas in Ireland these are sacred to Brigid. In the Rig Veda she is associated with and often mentioned along side Bharati and Sarasvati, the goddess of knowledge, fertility, and flowing rivers. Bharati is a feminine adjective meaning \u201chigh, great, lofty\u201d and seems to be a title applied several times to the goddess of the dawn U\u1e63as. As you may know, the names Briganti, Brigantia, Brigit come from a cognate proto indo-european word *bhrg\u2019hnti from the root word berg\u2019h meaning \u201chigh, lofty, elevated\u201d.\n\nTo surmise for a moment then, we have an Irish St Brigid who is associated with St Ida. Brigid is based on an earlier Indo-European goddess Briganti who is also present in Verdic culture as Bharati. The Verdic goddess U\u1e63as/Bharati is also associated with the Verdic goddess Ida. Further, Verdic Ida, U\u1e63as/Bharati and Irish Brigid are all associated with cows, milk and motherhood. Briganti is clearly present in our landscape, and we also have a river named Idle for which we have no clear entomology. Could it be there is a forgotten Brythonic Goddess named Ida associated with the river Idle?\n\nSo what about the Maun? Well from this perspective the Maun is nothing more than a local name for a short section of the Idle, known to the Romans as Aqua Mam. Mam meaning \u201cmother, breast or hill\u201d in reference to Hamilton Hill where the source of the Maun is. If Ida is a goddess of the earth, of the land, and Hamilton Hill her breast then the Maun, Aqua Mam is her milk, the waters of the mother.\n\nThere is another possibly related goddess too, from Greek. The goddess Idaia, meaning \u201cshe of mount Ida\u201d, Ida meaning \u201cwooded mountain\u201d. There are actually two sacred mountains named Ida, both sacred to mother goddesses. The first in Crete is where Rhea, mother of the first generation of Olympian gods put the infant Zeus to nurse with Amaltheia. The second mountain was in Anatolia, modern day Turkey, and was mentioned in the Iliad of Homer as sacred to Cyble mother goddess of the Anatolians and sometimes known as Mater Idaea or \u201cIdaean Mother\u201d, mother of the Idaean people.\n\nThere is of course no way to be sure about any of this. Is there a lost local Celtic Ida, local to this area associated with the river Idle? It is all just conjecture really, but I am certainly beginning to feel that we of Ashfield and the surrounding area are Ideans. We are Ideans in so much as we are the people of the Goddess Ida of the River Idle.\n\n4 thoughts on \u201cIda Goddess of the river Idle?\n\n 1. I would have thought the name originates from a Celtic goddess most rivers others do. Can\u2019t help but be a little irritated by how its been used. I can remember when it used to be channelled down to the dam from the allotments, there was absolutely no need to alter it. Which i consider a mistake, children love to play in water.\n I\u2019ve always thought the Maun was the Idle, can\u2019t see why it ever needed another name. Wish Sutton made something of it, if it was only to spruce up the area behind the bank.\n Thanks for the article.\n\n 2. Interested in your speculation here that the river Idle as it is known today may have been originally associated with a Briganti godess \u201cIda\u201d.\n I live in the small market town of Bawtry about 250 metres from the banks of the Idle on its current course northward to the sea. Opposite my home there is a row of cottages built in the early part of the 20th century. These cottages when built would have had a clear view of the Idle and the rail viaduct that resulted in its course being diverted during the mid 19th century. What makes this row of cottages interesting and aligned to your article on the origin of the river\u2019s name is that midway along the terrace there is an original stone plague declaring the row as \u201cIDA\u2019S VIEW\u201d. I am currently embarking on some research in the hope of discovering why the cottages were dedicated to Ida when when built. I would be interested in your take on this? Maybe you were already aware and have some further knowledge to share?\n\n I look forward to a response.\n\n 1. How very interesting. I was not aware of this, and I am afraid I have nothing to add. I would be curious to hear what else you learn though. Thank you for sharing.\n\n 3. Tantalising as it was that we might have something tangible to link the speculation that \u201cIda\u201d was the source of the river Idles name, it would seem that our clue in the Bawtry cottages is grounded in something less mystical. At the turn of the twentieth century the land on which the cottages where built was a field running between the subsequent cottages and a large town house, the owners of which also owned the field. The owner of the town house was called Ida and she sold the field for development around 1909-1910 when the row of cottages were built. The view east of the cottages, as I explained earlier would have been of the viaduct and the river, the view west however, was of an open field between the cottages and the town house. The space between being dubbed \u201cIda\u2019s View\u201d. In the 50 years following the building of the cottages other homes filled this space, eradicating the \u201cview\u201d. There does remain a number of gaps for me to fill to completely nail down this explanation, but all the pointers would suggest that it is correct.

I find that most of the people who hate gays are people don't know any gay people. What they hate is an idea. What they really hate is the image of gay people having sex. It grosses them out. My response to that is always, \"Do you sit around and picture your parents having sex?\"\n\nThe answer is ALWAYS the same. \"AHHH NO. That is gross.\"\n\nFrom there I move on to, \"Do you picture every hetero couple you meet having sex?\" It is about that time that the point starts to sink in. You can control your thoughts because you do it every day. It really isn't pleasant to think of MOST people having sex. So, why focus on it? Once you get past that, the arguments get weaker.\n\nHowever, you made so many EXCELLENT points that I am not even sure where to start. I do believe that sometimes Christians don't understand that the biggest thing working against Christianity is some of the people who trumpet their views the loudest. And that is really sad.\n\nAnyway, great post. Thank you for putting it out there.\n\nMargieAnne said...\n\nChris you wrote this beautifully. I'm so glad you are able to express your thoughts on controversial subjects so clearly.\n\nI agree with you almost 100% I do have a problem with Gay Marriages because they cannot be marriages in the Godly sense. Civil Unions, yes, but I cannot for the life of me see how the Church can bless a relationship that isn't part of God's plan. For the same reason I am uncomfortable with Gay people bringing up children, in the same way that I find it extremely sad to see children in single parent families because of separation and divorce. I know many Solo and Gay parents are probably making a lot more successful job of bringing up their families than I did but there remains the principle if you like of the family being something of a pattern for God's family and the deep need of all children to experience a Father's love.\n\nI know the world is not all rosy and we all live in imperfect situations and Gay Families can be very loving, supportive, sensitive etc. We all make the best of what we have and what we are but I draw the line at legalising Gay marriages and parenting.\n\nYou wrote a while ago about there being a right way and one that might seem right. In this case I believe that while homosexuality will always exist because we are imperfect that same sex relationships cannot be made even a close equal to Godly marriage.\n\nI am running the risk of sounding judgemental when I truly believe that it is in mankind's best interest to understand that there are some things that are best not practiced. This is one and yet God loves the Gay person as much as He loves me. For that reason there are some powerful ministries to support those who wish to leave the Gay Lifestyle.\n\nThat doesn't make it alright to discriminate or be cruel which is evil and shows lack of love and compassion", "base_doc": " young men..\nThey told him that he was a bad word about being Gay, that he needed to go home and hang himself.\nHe went home and hung himself.\nWhat did the world lose that day?\nWho knows.\nThen in a link below, a similar thing happened to this guy..but they told him he should 'go to hell where he belongs\".\nIt left me with these thoughts:\nA.)

It's so nice to find a Christian who \"gets it\" once in a while. There are a few of you out there :-)\n\nRobin said...\n\nFreaking awesome post, Chris. I find that most of the people who hate gays are people don't know any gay people. What they hate is an idea. What they really hate is the image of gay people having sex. It grosses them out. My response to that is always, \"Do you sit around and picture your parents having sex?\"\n\nThe answer is ALWAYS the same. \"AHHH NO. That is gross.\"\n\nFrom there I move on to, \"Do you picture every hetero couple you meet having sex?\" It is about that time that the point starts to sink in. You can control your thoughts because you do it every day. It really isn't pleasant to think of MOST people having sex. So, why focus on it? Once you get past that, the arguments get weaker.\n\nHowever, you made so many EXCELLENT points that I am not even sure where to start. I do believe that sometimes Christians don't understand that the biggest thing working against Christianity is some of the people who trumpet their views the loudest. And that is really sad.\n\nAnyway, great post. Thank you for putting it out there.\n\nMargieAnne said...\n\nChris you wrote this beautifully. I'm so glad you are able to express your thoughts on controversial subjects so clearly.\n\nI agree with you almost 100% I do have a problem with Gay Marriages because they cannot be marriages in the Godly sense. Civil Unions, yes, but I cannot for the life of me see how the Church can bless a relationship that isn't part of God's plan. For the same reason I am uncomfortable with Gay people bringing up children, in the same way that I find it extremely sad to see children in single parent families because of separation and divorce. I know many Solo and Gay parents are probably making a lot more successful job of bringing up their families than I did but there remains the principle if you like of the family being something of a pattern for God's family and the deep need of all children to experience a Father's love.\n\nI know the world is not all rosy and we all live in imperfect situations and Gay Families can be very loving, supportive, sensitive etc. We all make the best of what we have and what we are but I draw the line at legalising Gay marriages and parenting.\n\nYou wrote a while ago about there being a right way and one that might seem right. In this case I believe that while homosexuality will always exist because we are imperfect that same sex relationships cannot be made even a close equal to Godly marriage.\n\nI am running the risk of sounding judgemental when I truly believe that it is in mankind's best interest to understand that there are some things that are best not practiced. This is one and yet God loves the Gay person as much as He loves me. For that reason there are some powerful ministries to support those who wish to leave the Gay Lifestyle.\n\nThat doesn't make it alright to discriminate or be cruel which is evil and shows lack of love and compassion an any level\n\nYour friend is blessed. You are a very special person.\n\nFor a time one of my sons was extremely confused and while he didn't turn toward homosexuality he did hurt a very precious girl. The thing is I love him so much I could never turn away from him no matter what he does. Hurt, disgusted, upset and angry by his behaviour as I was, he knows that I still love him. God is like that only more so because he has the gift of New Life.\n\nI feel as though I've expressed myself poorly.\n\nWhatever one's belief love for the person must be paramount and you have written a list of the attributes that go with love.\n\n\n'Yellow Rose' Jasmine said...\n\nVery well said, Chris. This is difficult territory. Usually when speaking with others that don't 'get' Christians, I never get far enough to explain in a way similar to what you just did.

What are daemon threads?\n Daemon threads are non-user threads. They are typically used to carry out low-priority tasks that should not take priority over the main task of the program\n 9. What happens to the JVM when there are only daemon threads running?\n JVM will exit!\n 10. The scheduler comes in what 2 flavors?\n \u2022 preemptive\n \u2022 non-preemptive\n 11.

What is Synchronization?\n Synchronization is the act of\u00a0serializing\u00a0(or ordering one at a time) thread access to those code sequences that let multiple threads manipulate class and instance field variables, and other shared resources\n 15. Can Threads share local variables and parameters?\n No, because local variables and parameters allocate on a thread's method-call stack. As a\u00a0result, each thread receives its own copy of those variables\n 16. Why do we need synchronization?\n Think of a withdrawal/deposit of financial transactions? Each thread manipulates a pair of shared variables.\n 17. 3 problems with synchronization\n \u2022 no synchronization\n \u2022 deadlock\n \u2022 time cost associated with lock acquisition\n 18. No synchronization\n After a thread voluntarily or involuntarily (through an exception) exits a critical code section, it releases a lock so another thread can gain entry. Suppose two threads want to enter the same critical code section. To prevent both threads from entering that critical code section simultaneously, each thread must attempt to acquire the same lock. If each thread attempts to acquire a different lock and succeeds, both threads enter the critical code section; neither thread has to wait for the other thread to release its lock because the other thread acquires a different lock. The end result: no synchronization\n 19. How to avoid no-synchronization?\n choose an object common to all relevant threads. That way, those threads compete to acquire the same object's lock, and only one thread at a time can enter the associated critical code section.\n 20. Deadlock\n Thread A acquires a lock that thread B needs before thread B can enter B's critical code section. Similarly, thread B acquires a lock that thread A needs before thread A can enter A's critical code section. Because neither thread has the lock it needs, each thread must wait to acquire its lock. Furthermore, because neither thread can proceed, neither thread can release the other thread's lock, and program execution freezes.\n 21. How to avoid deadlock?\n carefully analyze your source code for situations where threads might attempt to acquire each others' locks, such as when a synchronized method calls another synchronized method. You must do that because a JVM cannot detect or prevent deadlock\n 22. What is thread scheduling?\n Manages the one or more threads to share the processor.\n 23. What are the 4 thread states?\n \u2022 Initial State\n \u2022 Runnable State\n \u2022 Blocked State\n \u2022 Terminating State\n 24. Initial state\n A program has created a thread's thread object, but the thread does not yet exist because the thread object's\u00a0start()\u00a0method has not yet been called.\n 25. Runnable state\n This is a thread's default state. After the call to\u00a0start()\u00a0completes, a thread becomes runnable whether or not that thread is running, that is, using the processor. Although many threads might be runnable, only one currently runs. Thread schedulers determine which runnable thread to assign to the processor.\n 26. Blocked state\n When a thread executes the\u00a0sleep(),\u00a0wait(), or\u00a0join()\u00a0methods, when a thread attempts to read data not yet available from a network, and when a thread waits to acquire a lock, that thread is in the blocked state: it is neither running nor in a position to run. (You can probably think of other times when a thread would wait for something to happen.) When a blocked thread unblocks, that thread moves to the runnable state.\n 27.

How does native thread schedulers prevent starvation?\n It uses time-slicing to prevent processor starvation of equal-priority threads.\n\n The idea is to give each equal-priority thread the same amount of time, known as a quantum. A timer tracks each quantum's remaining time and alerts the thread scheduler when the quantum expires. The thread scheduler then schedules another equal-priority thread to run, unless a higher-priority thread unblocks.\n 31. How to prevent lower-priority threads from starving?\n some thread schedulers, such as Windows schedulers, give temporary priority boosts to threads that have not run in a long time. When the thread runs, that priority boost decays. Thread schedulers still give higher-priority threads preference over lower-priority threads, but at least all threads receive a chance to run.\n 32.

Can a decree of separate maintenance be modified?\n\nJust as with a divorce, a Nevada court may revoke or change a decree of separate maintenance.6\n\nThe most common reason for a changed order is that a spouse can no longer afford child support or alimony payments.\n\nBut the changed order will only apply to support payments not yet accrued. A spouse must pay any past due support amounts at the original rate.7\n\nOtherwise, the decree expires on the death of either the husband or wife.\n\n7. How does a spouse enforce a decree of legal separation?\n\nA decree of separate maintenance is a legal judgment in Nevada. If either party breaks its terms, the other spouse can take that party to court to enforce it.\n\nThe court can hold the disobedient spouse in contempt and sentence him or her to jail until he / she agrees to comply with the order. The court's order can also be enforced by\u00a0the seizure and sale of the spouse's property (other than veteran's disability benefits).\n\nIn\u00a0Nevada, failure to pay child support can also be charged as a crime.\n\n8.

That is why so many body builders and other sports professionals wanted to know where they could buy Dianabol.\n\nDianabol was one of the first, and for a time the only, anabolic steroid that was ever concocted simply for performance enhancement. It was used for other purposes at one time, but the main reason Dianabol was researched and produced was as a performance enhancer. That is the real reason for the appearance of Dianabol for sale.\n\nThe actual name of Dianabol is Methandrostenolone, and its therapeutic use was for the treatment of osteoporosis, due to its anabolic effects without the drawbacks of massive doses of testosterone. Dianabol was withdrawn from the market by the FDA in the United States, and it is no longer legally available in the United States.\u00a0 However, it is very much available throughout the world, and to buy Dbol in the US, all you have to do is look for Dianabol online. A lot of people use the term, Dbol to refer to Dianabol.\n\nWhat Dianabol actually is, is a form of altered testosterone. Researches were seeking the best parts of testosterone and wanted to created a form of it that did not carry the side effects of testosterone. That is why they originally came up with Dbol for sale. They had discovered that Dianabol could be taken orally, whereas testosterone had to be injected. They found that testosterone\u2019s side effects, such as the growth of mammary tissue in men, could be ameliorated with the use of Dbol instead of testosterone.\n\nWith the advent of the Internet, body builders and athletes could go on search engines and find Dbol online, instead of buying it on the underground market. Underground steroids can be dangerous, in that one does not know whether or not what you are taking was manufactured in someone\u2019s bathtub, and whether or not it is the real thing.\n\nWhat is good about Dianabol, or Dbol, is that it is not a base steroid, meaning that body builders and sports men will not build a cycle around, but rather, one that is added to a stack of steroid use. This makes it important for any body builder and sports enthusiast.\n\nDianabol\u2019s effects come on very fast, and they are extremely dramatic. A body builder can gain as much as 20 pounds of muscle in only a few weeks. This makes the most common use of Dianabol one that is used for \u2018bulking,\u2019 or building larger, firmer muscles.\n\nOne of the drawback of Dianabol is acne, but this can be treated by the individual by using Dianabol as directed, and only as directed. Never take more than the recommended dose of any steroid, including Dianabol.<|endoftext|>Little dragon, big", "base_doc": "The court may determine the same rights and obligations in a legal separation as in a Nevada divorce. These can include:\n\n \u2022 Child custody,\n \u2022 Child visitation rights,\u00a0\n \u2022 Child support,\u00a0\n \u2022 Spousal support (alimony), and\n \u2022 The distribution of property.3\n\nThe court may also order one spouse to pay:\n\n \u2022 Temporary alimony while the legal separation action is pending, and\n \u2022 The other spouse's costs of maintaining the action.4\n\nThe court may not, however, issue an order for support that is contrary to a valid Nevada premarital (prenuptial) agreement.5\n\n6. Can a decree of separate maintenance be modified?\n\nJust as with a divorce, a Nevada court may revoke or change a decree of separate maintenance.6\n\nThe most common reason for a changed order is that a spouse can no longer afford child support or alimony payments.\n\nBut the changed order will only apply to support payments not yet accrued. A spouse must pay any past due support amounts at the original rate.7\n\nOtherwise, the decree expires on the death of either the husband or wife.\n\n7. How does a spouse enforce a decree of legal separation?\n\nA decree of separate maintenance is a legal judgment in Nevada. If either party breaks its terms, the other spouse can take that party to court to enforce it.\n\nThe court can hold the disobedient spouse in contempt and sentence him or her to jail until he / she agrees to comply with the order. The court's order can also be enforced by\u00a0the seizure and sale of the spouse's property (other than veteran's disability benefits).\n\nIn\u00a0Nevada, failure to pay child support can also be charged as a crime.\n\n8. Why should I hire an attorney?\n\nA separate maintenance decree has the same legal force as a divorce decree. It can permanently decide the division of marital property and determine a spouse's legal rights and obligations for years to come.\n\nAn experienced Las Vegas divorce lawyer can help you protect your rights.

With\ntheir T5 and 5+ invulnerable save and the dok resurrecting one per round\non a 3+ they will draw much firepower and make a stand.\n\nThe best troops in the orkish army are it's basic troop choices,\nmainly the slugga boyz. I take a mob of at least 20, as it is difficult\nfor the opponent to drop their number below 12 (so as to test for\nleadership) and it insures that at least 10 fighters will arrive in hth.\nAlways add a Nob, as he is the key to victory in hth, give him 'eavy armor\nwhich is very cheap and a choppa and slugga. I give him a blasta-\nslugga which is AP:3 (marine killer) at 12\", or a power klaw if I am\nexpecting to face many heavy support units. Flamerz for the slugga boyz\nare a very good choice as they negate cover save and they don't require\na BS roll (thank Gork).\n\nDon't go for shoota boyz, cause with a BS of 2 the chances of hitting\neven a dreadnought 1\" away and in front of them is 1 in 3 !\n\nGretchin are a very interesting choice. They are VERY cheap, so I field\n25-30 of them, along with a slaver with only a squighound. So even if they have to roll a ld test they roll at 7 and they can reroll (because of the squighound). Their role is to give a 5+ cover save to the orks and keep the enemy for 1 round in hth untill the orks charge (with I4 in the first round). They are very hardy for gretchin and they can keep most enemy units\nat least two rounds in hth.\n\nOn the elite side of the roster, the 'ARD BOYZ are a good choice since\nthey have a 4+ save and can get choppaz and sluggaz. Very effective against assault marines in hth, as both of them get a 4+ AS.\n\nI don't like dreadnoughts, especially orcish ones who can't hit ranged\ntargets with their expensive mega-blastas. So I go with Looted Leman\nRuss Demolisher whose Battle-Cannon doesn't care about the orcs' BS.\nI don't equip the Demolisher with any weapons requiring a BS roll.\n\nWarbikers are my favorites. They are T5, 5+ cover save, psychoz\n(pass automatically ld tests), have twinlinked weapons and get\nto strike first in hth, with 3 S5 attacks each. I add a nob with a power klaw\nfor taking out unsuspecting enemy vehicles. Usually a group of 4 bikerz\nand a Nob biker will suffice.\n\nBattlewagon - huh, with only 6\" MV and BS oriented weapons they\ncan only be nice targets. If you want a transport use a Looted Rhino.\nIf you want a heavy vehicle use a Looted Leman or a Predator. If you\nwant heavy artillery use gobboz ZZap gunz which don't require a BS roll\nand get 5 gobbos at each zzap gun.

The same as usual: He first corrected their interpretation of the nature of the kingdom:\n\nLuke 17:20-21 (NKJV) Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, \"The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 \"nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.\"\n\nThe word \"observation\" is from the Greek word parateresis, which means: \"inspection, i.e. visual evidence\". If you can't see it, what type of kingdom is it? It is a spiritual kingdom. Jesus is telling them, \"The kingdom of God is not what you expect, for the kingdom of God is a kingdom that is within you, not a physical kingdom.\" Young's literal Translation says:\n\nLuke 17:21 \"nor shall they say, Lo, here; or lo, there; for lo, the reign of God is within you.\"\n\nWeymouth translation says:\n\nLuke 17:21 People will not be able to say, \"Look, here it is!\" or \"There it is! That is because the kingdom of God is inside you.'\n\nNotice what Christ said to Pilate immediately preceding His crucifixion:\n\n\nEven Pilate recognized the implications of this statement:\n\n\nPilate's own experience of kingdoms and rule were strictly empirical. Pilate understood that any who would follow this professed Messiah would only be able to declare the rule of this King based solely on a subjective and perhaps mystical appeal to this unseen kingdom.\n\nJohn 6:15 (NKJV) Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.\n\nJesus left them because it was never His purpose to become a physical king over the world.\n\nIn the third chapter of John's Gospel is the familiar account of Nicodemus, a religious leader of the Jews, who came to talk to Jesus. Nicodemus acknowledged Him to be a great teacher from God:\n\nJohn 3:3 (NKJV) Jesus answered and said to him, \"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.\"\n\nIn this verse Jesus announces to Nicodemus the requirements for being part of the kingdom that He is going to establish. He told Nicodemus that if a person is going to be part of the kingdom that He is setting up, it is necessary for the person to be born again.\n\nLet me ask you something, \"Why can't the person who is not born again see the kingdom of God? What is it about the kingdom of God that only believers can see it?\" The answer is obvious: it is a spiritual kingdom!\n\nSo, we see that the kingdom was set up in the first century. As you read various writer's view on the kingdom of God, you will come across what many call the \"already but not yet\" view of the kingdom. Those who hold this \"already but not yet view\" approach the study of the kingdom with the presupposition that there is at least a spiritual kingdom which is already established, and a physical kingdom which is yet to come. This view accepts the spiritual nature of the kingdom and the time statements that clearly teach that it arrived in the first century, but they still hold to a future physical kingdom, also. They do this because they don't understand the distinction of the \"ages\" or the clear Scriptural teaching concerning the transition period. During the first century the kingdom was \"already\" inaugurated but \"not yet\" consummated:\n\nHebrews 12:28 (NKJV) Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.\n\nThe word \"receiving\" is from the Greek word paralambano, and it is in the present tense showing progression. The kingdom was being brought into its fullness during the first century by progression. This \"kingdom that cannot be shaken\" is the church of Jesus Christ, it is the New Covenant, it is Mount Zion the heavenly Jerusalem.\n\nThis \"already but not yet\" was only a first century condition. The kingdom was fully consummated in AD 70 with the destruction of Jerusalem and the Jewish temple:\n\nLuke 21:21-22 (NKJV) \"Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. 22 \"For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.\nLuke 21:31-32 (NKJV) \"So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. 32 \"Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place.\n\nLuke ties the destruction of Jerusalem with the appearance of the Kingdom. He also states the Kingdom will arrive in its consummated state before that generation standing there dies off.\n\nMost believers don't understand that we live in a different age than Paul did. Paul lived in what the Bible calls the \"last days\"- they were the last days of the Old Covenant. Those \"last days\" began at Pentecost and ended at AD 70 when the Jewish temple was destroyed. We now live in what the Bible calls \"the age to come\", which is the New Covenant age - the kingdom. This forty year period, from Pentecost to Holocaust, was a time of transition from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant. In this transition period, the kingdom of God had been inaugurated but not consummated. It was a time of \"already but not yet.\" Notice what was to happen at the end of the age:\n\nMatthew 13:49-50 (NKJV) \"So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just, 50 \"and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.\"\n\nNotice who is taken - the wicked! I believe this speaks of the Judgement of Jerusalem in AD 70. The \"end\" that Jesus is talking about was the end of the Jewish age, when the wicked Jews were burned in the destruction of Jerusalem and the kingdom of God was consummated.\n\nAll through the New Testament we see two ages in contrast: \"This age\" and the \"age to come.\"\n\nEphesians 1:21 (NKJV) far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.\n\nHere we see the two ages. The understanding of these two ages, and when they changed is fundamental to interpreting the Bible.\n\nThe New Testament writer lived in the age that they called \"this age.\" To the New Testament writers the \"age to come\" was future, but it was very near, because \"this age\" was about to end:\n\n1 Corinthians 10:11 (NKJV) Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.\n\nPaul said very plainly that the end of the ages was coming upon them, the first century saints. \"This age,\" along with its wisdom and rulers, was about to end.\n\nWe now live in what was to the first century saints the \"age to come.\" When most Christians read in the New Testament and see the words \"the age to come,\" they think of a yet future (to us) age. But the New Testament writers were referring to the Christian age - the kingdom of God. We live in what was to them the \"age to come,\" the Kingdom age. It is an age that has no end! Christ's kingdom is everlasting, it will never pass away or be destroyed:\n\nLuke 1:32-33 (NKJV) \"He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 \"And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom", "base_doc": "es asked, \"When will the kingdom of God come.\" What was Christ's response?

It is something that is meant for all Christian people. It is a perfect picture of the life of the kingdom of God. The \"Sermon on the Mount\" is not saying, \"Live like this, and you will become a Christian\". What it is saying is, \"Because you are a Christian, live like this.

Expansion pressures tailing the end of combustion are emitted at energy levels much higher than atmospheric pressure, often resulting in objectionable sounds. These can be pleasant or not. For racing engines, it's becoming increasingly not, especially in areas with growing environmental concerns.\n\nSound And FlowHere's an analogy to consider: Let's say you are standing at the edge of a creek or any flowing stream of water. The moving liquid has weight (or mass) and velocity, therefore it displays kinetic energy (K.E.). How much K.E. it contains depends on the quantity of both these elements: mass and velocity. In the exhaust flow of a running engine, our example is now exhaust gas, and the amount of K.E. it displays is still a function of its mass and velocity. Simple enough.\n\nNow, suppose you throw a rock into the water. Ripples are created, which are carried along with the movement of the water. These disturbances are like sound waves in the flow of exhaust gases.\n\nContinuing our example, let's assume a piece of screen wire is placed across the stream just below the rock's splash. As the waves pass through the screen mesh, some energy is dissipated, and the waves that emerge on the other side are of a different size and shape-typically reduced. There is an energy exchange, or transformation, as the waves interact with the screen wire, resulting in a conversion of energy from one form into another.\n\nThat, basically, is what happens when high pressure, disturbed, heated exhaust gases leave an engine's combustion space and enter a \"muffled\" exhaust system.\n\nTechnically, sound may be defined as an alteration of pressure or particle displacement propagated in an elastic medium, producing variations in pressure. In a practical sense, an engine's exhaust sound can be either pleasing, of no consequence, or damaging. Its energy can be diminished or absorbed when passing through a medium or by hitting against a surface. Both can be and are used as automotive mufflers, racing or otherwise.\n\nSound In A Vacuum? If you have an atmosphere inside a container (in this case, a muffler), then a medium exists through which sound waves can be propagated. As atmospheric pressure is decreased, the density of this medium is reduced, which diminishes its ability to move sound waves. While a pure vacuum is unlikely to be found in a muffler, the ability to establish and maintain low-pressure areas within the muffler effectively increases its ability to deaden sound. It is possible to design interior portions of a muffler that accomplish this objective.\n\nSound Frequency And AmplitudeStrictly speaking, we may define acoustical frequency as the number of sound waves (per second) passing any point in a sound field (any medium through which sound is moving). Units of sound frequency are typically measured in cycles per second. Since sound is an auditory sensation, the conditions that describe its presence relate specifically to what we can hear.\n\nFor example, the strength of a sound may be termed as its amplitude. High-strength sounds have high amplitudes. Combinations of high frequency and high amplitude are common in auto-motive mufflers, particularly on racing engines. Sound also travels faster in a heated medium than cooler ones. As a result, mufflers on racing engines are exposed to high-frequency, high-amplitude sound waves in hot exhaust gases, all of which increase the complexity of muffler design.\n\nThere is also the issue of frequency change that can be addressed in a muffler. Since certain sound frequencies are more pleasant (or less damaging to the ear) than others, it is possible to design mufflers that cancel (or alter) specific sound frequencies while allowing others to remain in the mix of exhaust sounds.\n\nIt may surprise many racers out there to learn that it's possible to design mufflers to reduce specific sound frequencies-while still providing low backpressure conditions. Networks of baffles, instead of a combination of baffles and packing material, frequently characterize this type of muffler. For purposes of this discussion, baffles may include dimpled or perforated tubing, as well as indentations resembling louvers that either absorb or reflect pressure waves.\n\nA device called a Helmholtz resonator is often used to change the tone (frequency and amplitude) of exhaust pulses. By definition, this type of resonator is characterized by an enclosure that communicates with outside pressure conditions by way of a small opening, usually a tube (see Helmholtz illustration", "base_doc": " \" is thats it, I was just getting into it\".\n\n\u00a0 Kate B 18:43 22 May 07\n\nsorry, Legolas, I missed that - do you enjoy it more the first or the second time round?

By definition, this type of resonator is characterized by an enclosure that communicates with outside pressure conditions by way of a small opening, usually a tube (see Helmholtz illustration). Based on the volume of the resonator and the communicating tube, Helmholtz resonators will resonate at a single frequency, thereby affecting exhaust tone at that frequency.\n\nExhaust Backpressure Historically, the muffling or attenuation of engine exhaust sounds has been accomplished by adding a system that also hinders the free flow of exhaust gasses, increasing backpressure. Low backpressure is important because we're trying to rid an engine of combustion byproducts-particles, or residuals, that don't tend to burn a second time.\n\nAn inefficient exhaust system (muffled or not) can cause these residuals to remain in the combustion space, not only preventing the entrance of fresh air/fuel mixtures on the next cycle but also reducing combustion heat via fuel-charge dilution. While there may be instances when a measure of back-pressure is desirable, particularly during low rpm and to prevent \"overscavenging\" of cylinders, this is not the case in a majority of situations. Backpressure also causes natural EGR (exhaust gas recirculation). This reduces combustion temperatures and oxides of nitrogen, both of which are counterproductive to optimum power.

Since the incident was recorded, that makes showing the video all the more senseless. \u00a0If you reversed the situation, and the suspect shot and killed an officer, would there have been more discretion placed on airing the video? \u00a0Would the Raleigh stations have sent it raw? Would CNN have sent it out raw? \u00a0This suspect, by all accounts, was a disturbed young black man.\u00a0 The assumption being made is that the 19-year-old wanted to be\u00a0killed by the police officers.\u00a0 That is a fairly common situation known as \u201cDeath/Suicide by Cop.\u201d\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if race played a role in the various decision-making missteps, but it does make me wonder. \u00a0If the young man were white, would his death be replayed on the local news?\u00a0 And if it were shown, would the backlash have been greater than what seemingly happened in this situation?\u00a0\u00a0The robbery suspect placed\u00a0several people in danger, and I\u2019m not letting him off the hook because he was in the wrong.\u00a0 But, no one deserves to have their death immortalized in HD, and the typical news viewer at home shouldn\u2019t have those images stuck in their heads without their choosing. \u00a0There\u2019s a reason why we don\u2019t air electrocutions and lethal injections on the news. \u00a0I was in the news business for a number of years.\u00a0 I saw a lot of gruesome things that I couldn\u2019t\u2013and wouldn\u2019t\u2013show the public, but I thought I\u2019d finished\u00a0seeing those things, since I am no longer in the business and can\u2019t watch raw footage from the news feeds.\n\nI\u2019m going to use this incident as a teachable moment for my students, so that at least one future producer will have this in the back of their minds if it\u2019s ever presented to them in a real-world scenario.\u00a0 I hope they choose to shield their audience, but who knows? \u00a0Maybe the times are changing, and this is just a precursor to what\u2019s going to be acceptable news as we continue to push the boundaries of real and reality.\n\nShare your thoughts.\u00a0\u00a0What\u2019s more egregious: \u00a0airing the recorded video of someone being killed on local news, or the lack of outrage from the audiences who saw the video?<|endoftext|>Firewall App Blocker for Windows 10 now manages internet restrictions\n\nRadu Tyrsina\nby Radu Tyrsina\nCEO & Founder\nAffiliate Disclosure\nShare this article:\n\nWith Firewall App Blocker, you are able to restrict access to the internet for applications running on Windows.

The results were almost unanimous, people wanted to learn how to use technology to save money! I tried to do a few tips and tricks on IG stories, but think that a blog post would be a better medium.\n\nCarrot Rewards\n\nThe Canadian government is giving away millions of dollars to incentivize Canadians to live a healthier lifestyle. You can earn money / points by taking steps and doing some quizzes. Don\u2019t have a step tracker? Just get Google Fit and connect it to this app. They literally pay you to live your day-to-day life. The goals are personalized based on your activity level. I\u2019ve personally earned the equivalent of $15 in less than a year, doing almost nothing. (You do have to log into the app from time to time). For some extra bonuses, my referral code is: jennyt3667\n\nDrop Reward Points\n\nCarrot Rewards pays out into points, and the point system that I use is the Canadian Drop Rewards. Connect your bank / credit cards, and you can start earning points immediately based on your spend with their partners (which includes Uber, Shopper\u2019s Drug Mart, Sephora, Under Armour, Staples, Adidas and more). Including my $15 from Carrot, I\u2019ve earned roughly $200 in Drop Rewards. It\u2019s not cash, but gift cards are pretty much as good as cash.\n\nThe best thing about Drop Rewards is that I find that you can easily stack this with other deals. Since the spend it tracked on your credit card immediately, you can stack this with other promotional offers (in-store specials, online promo codes).\n\n\nOkay, so enough about points. You want cash? will give you a cash rebates. So before you go online shopping, check if you are purchasing from an partner store. If you shop through their link, they get paid a commission, which they share with you once your balance hits more than $5.01. I\u2019m still new to this, but I don\u2019t see why this cannot be stacked with the Drop Rewards. Some major partners include and\n\nJust Butter It\n\nJust Butter It is a Canadian finance app that gives you cashback just for allowing it to keep track of your subscriptions. The cashback seems to be roughly 1% of your eligible subscriptions. The bonus of using this app is that you can also easily keep tabs of what subscriptions you are still on. It allows for you to be more aware of those subscriptions that you should cancel if they are no longer in use;.\n\nMint by Intuit\n\nMint not an app that allows you to earn or save money, but it is a fantastic way to keep tabs on your personal finances. Connecting all of your financial accounts will allow it to automatically calculate your net worth *caveat that it is not always accurate, particularly if you own a business. I love how easy it makes to visualize your finances. Bonus that it sends you reminders to pay your credit cards. It automatically sets a budget for you based on your previous spend and sends you reminders if spending trends are off.\n\nI know people out there may be apprehensive about connecting all of their banking information to an app. I can understand that and I also felt this way in the beginning, but I think that it is much more beneficial to keep a close eye on my financials and have a full view of it rather than not. Mint helps me ensure that there isn\u2019t fraud on my accounts, and makes me aware of any additional bank fees or interest charges on my account. It has indirectly saved me a lot of money.\n\nCamel Camel Camel aka Camelx3\n\nLove shopping on for the convenience? Firstly did you know you can subscribe to recurring subscriptions to basic necessities and save more money if you stack these recurring subscriptions? Well, that\u2019s great, but you also need to make sure that these goods are fairly priced. Here comes in Camelx3, which is a price watch for all items.\n\nAt one point, I was obsessed with setting this up. I would search for products that I commonly used (like razor blades), and products that I wanted to buy but only at a good price (like a headphone) and setup a tracking such that Camelx3 would alert me via email once the product\u2019s price went down to the price at which I am willing to buy it at.\n\nYour Start Up and E-Commerce Accountant\n\nJenny Tran, CPA, CMA<|endoftext|>Crown Heights\n\nBased on a true story chronicled in a 2005 episode of the NPR radio show This American Life, Crown Heights is the heartbreaking tale of a young man living in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York who spends many years in prison after being wrongfully convicted of a homicide in 1980.

You may want to braise, grill, bake, fry, marinate, poach and steam food, just add this oil to make it healthy and tasty. This is one of the first organic food ingredients certified by all studies for a healthy lifestyle.\n\nKnow When to Skip\n\nThough olive oil is a secret to cooking healthier know when to avoid them. This way you can make optimum use of this wonderful natural resource. While cooking under high heat avoid olive oil. They are not good when exposed to excessive heat. Also skip this oil for a deep fry of food.When you use butter in your food then do not mix it with olive oil. This combination increases amount of bad HDL in your body.\n\nWhen you cook for smaller children, skip the usage of extra virgin olive oil. They have a strong odor and taste that kids may hate. Sweet olive oil is a healthy option only when not consumed every day. Same way extra virgin olive oil should be restricted to less than three times a day. At times canola oil is much lighter and good to eat.\n\nShare This Article: Share on Facebook\n0Tweet about this on Twitter\nShare on Tumblr\n0Email this to someone<|endoftext|>Using Technology To Manage Personal Finances and Save Money (Canadian Edition)\n\nI did a recent poll on our Instagram (@fintcloud) to ask people if they would rather learn more about keeping a paperless office, or how to use tech to save money. The results were almost unanimous, people wanted to learn how to use technology to save money! I tried to do a few tips and tricks on IG stories, but think that a blog post would be a better medium.\n\nCarrot Rewards\n\nThe Canadian government is giving away millions of dollars to incentivize Canadians to live a healthier lifestyle. You can earn money / points by taking steps and doing some quizzes. Don\u2019t have a step tracker? Just get Google Fit and connect it to this app. They literally pay you to live your day-to-day life. The goals are personalized based on your activity level. I\u2019ve personally earned the equivalent of $15 in less than a year, doing almost nothing. (You do have to log into the app from time to time). For some extra bonuses, my referral code is: jennyt3667\n\nDrop Reward Points\n\nCarrot Rewards pays out into points, and the point system that I use is the Canadian Drop Rewards. Connect your bank / credit cards, and you can start earning points immediately based on your spend with their partners (which includes Uber, Shopper\u2019s Drug Mart, Sephora, Under Armour, Staples, Adidas and more). Including my $15 from Carrot, I\u2019ve earned roughly $200 in Drop Rewards. It\u2019s not cash, but gift cards are pretty much as good as cash.\n\nThe best thing about Drop Rewards is that I find that you can easily stack this with other deals. Since the spend it tracked on your credit card immediately, you can stack this with other promotional offers (in-store specials, online promo codes).\n\n\nOkay, so enough about points. You want cash? will give you a cash rebates. So before you go online shopping, check if you are purchasing from an partner store. If you shop through their link, they get paid a commission, which they share with you once your balance hits more than $5.01. I\u2019m still new to this, but I don\u2019t see why this cannot be stacked with the Drop Rewards. Some major partners include and\n\nJust Butter It\n\nJust Butter It is a Canadian finance app that gives you cashback just for allowing it to keep track of your subscriptions. The cashback seems to be roughly 1% of your eligible subscriptions. The bonus of using this app is that you can also easily keep tabs of what subscriptions you are still on. It allows for you to be more aware of those subscriptions that you should cancel if they are no longer in use;.\n\nMint by Intuit\n\nMint not an app that allows you to earn or save money, but it is a fantastic way to keep tabs on your personal finances. Connecting all of your financial accounts will allow it to automatically calculate your net worth *caveat that it is not always accurate, particularly if you own a business. I love how easy it makes to visualize your finances. Bonus that it sends you reminders to pay your credit cards. It automatically sets a budget for you based on your previous spend and sends you reminders if spending trends are off.\n\nI know people out there may be apprehensive about connecting all of their banking information to an app. I can understand that and I also felt this way in the beginning, but I think that it is much more beneficial to keep a close eye on my financials and have a full view of it rather than not. Mint helps me ensure that there isn\u2019t fraud on my accounts, and makes me aware of any additional bank fees or interest charges on my account. It has indirectly saved me a lot of money.\n\nCamel Camel Camel aka Camelx3\n\nLove shopping on for the convenience? Firstly did you know you can subscribe to recurring subscriptions to basic necessities and save more money if you stack these recurring subscriptions? Well, that\u2019s great, but you also need to make sure that these goods are fairly priced. Here comes in Camelx3, which is a price watch for all items.\n\nAt one point, I was obsessed with setting this up. I would search for products that I commonly used (like razor blades), and products that I wanted to buy but only at a good price (like a headphone) and setup a tracking such that Camelx3 would alert me via email once the product\u2019s price went down to the price at which I am willing to buy it at.\n\nYour Start Up and E-Commerce Accountant\n\nJenny Tran, CPA, CMA<|endoftext|>Crown Heights\n\nBased on a true story chronicled in a 2005 episode of the NPR radio show This American Life, Crown Heights is the heartbreaking tale of a young man living in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York who spends many years in prison after being wrongfully convicted of a homicide in 1980. The talented young actor Lakeith Stanfield plays an 18-year-old immigrant from the Caribbean island nation of Trinidad and Tobago named Colin Warner who leads a troubled life as a petty criminal. After a young man is shot to death in broad daylight, Warner gets caught up in the corrupt and negligent justice system eager for convictions in crime-ridden 1980\u2019s New York. As a result of false testimonies given by predominately young immigrants pressured by the police, he is quickly ushered through the court system and sentenced to 15 years to life for the murder of someone he had never heard of, along with a likely guilty co-defendant who is sentenced to less time as a juvenile. Disgusted by the injustice in which he was convicted and later lost appeals, Warner\u2019s close friend Carl \u2018KC\u2019 King, played by former NFL Pro Bowler Nnamdi Asomugha, tirelessly makes it his mission to prove his childhood friend\u2019s innocence", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 214316, "pt_loc": 28470560, "pt_shuffle_idx": 12739884, "doc_index_f": 19967840, "doc_index_l": 19967843, "offset_f": 4272, "offset_l": 260, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 58, "pt_injection_len": 215, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [58, 713, 1017, 261]}

Anthony Walsh\n commented on: July 19, 2010 at 4:57 a.m.\n I cannot agree one bit with this. You seem to be creating this anti-MLS snobbo-ness, after the Confederation cup in 2009 and the World Cup this year the americans reputation in football has been alot better than it was pre-2009. Then you have some snobbo like yourself trying to fuel the fire with an article like this. Firstly I don't know the last time Glasgow Celtic done anything outside Scotland. I'm not blaming there terrible performance on travelling, what I am saying is that they are playing in a league not nearly as competitive as the MLS, they rarely beat teams that are not from Scotland. Giving out about Manchester United winning 3-1? They won get over it. Anyone but a bitter fan would give out about that. Spurs didn't win fair enough there is grounds to give out about that considering they are missing their 2 top scorer, their 2 centre halves and a winger, 2 full backs and their number 1 keeper. How couldn't San Jose score? Also wait until Manchester United get there hands on one of the MLS teams. I have come to believe you are the biggest snob of all firstly, it is called Football, it has been around alot longer than what you americans call football(which doesn't consist of mostly using your foot or a ball; which is defined as a spherical object). Secondly it is referred to as nil-nil(look it up in the dictionary). Thirdly agreeing to keep at 11 vs. 11, that would make the World Cup finals look like a walk in the park. I think you need to get over you conspiracy that the rest of the world is against the MLS.\n\n 1. Wendell Gee\n commented on: July 19, 2010 at 7:41 a.m.\n Both the article and comment no. 1 are nonsense to me. First, Mr Walsh, different English-speaking countries use different words for the same thing. This is nothing particularly noteworthy, and not worth any degree of indignation. I just returned from South Africa where, like a number of countries, the use of the word soccer is widespread. Would you similarly scold South Africans for their choice of words? If so, I imagine you would need to brace yourself for being labeled a cultural-imperialist wanker, or some such. That's generally what happens when you go to other countries and arrogantly tell them how to speak. Should baseball ever become popular in England, and should the English adopt their own terminology for certain facets of the game, I cannot imagine the virulent reaction it would (deservedly) elicit were I to go over there and so arrogantly declare, \"it's called (stolen base, double play, force out, whatever) in America, and you have to call it that too!\" Different countries, same language, different words. That's normal. Deal with it. (And seriously, have you never in your life heard an Englishman utter the phrase, zero-zero? Seriously?)\n\n 1. Wendell Gee\n commented on: July 19, 2010 at 8:08 a.m.\n Second, Mr Gardner, please. The notion that there are millions, or even hundreds of thousands, of \"Eurosnobs\" out there is a US soccer message board myth. No, not all people who might to some degree consider themselves soccer fans in the US follow MLS. There are any number of reasons why this might be the case.

I am sorry I enjoy watching more skilled players play to packed out stadiums. I am sorry. I cannot help but wonder why ANY MLS player who was offered a slot in an EPL team would drop everything to take it? Just the money maybe? I don't thing so. BTW. Please stop denigrating football/soccer of whatever the hell you want to call it in Australia and NZ. The fact is Both teams played far better that US in the world cup against tougher competition. Australia managed to tie Ghana with 10 men. Ghana's only goal was a soft penalty and went on to destroy serbia...NZ did very well to tie Italy and should have won that game. Australia has produced more world class outfield players (Viduka, Kewell, Cahill, Bresciano) that have played at top level in Europe that the US has...Stick to producing goal keepers...Oh wait Mark Schwarzer the Australian NAtional team keeper is in the process of signing for Arsenal so I guess you cannot even stand on that laurel....You are pathetic.

Klein\n commented on: July 19, 2010 at 8:49 a.m.\n I sure hope MLS sides (Ooh! I said a dirty word!) do well against Manchester United, Celtic, Tottenham Hotspur, etc. on their summer tours. I mean, those sides are essentially a preseason rabble, so if MLS sides in midseason form can't beat them, then the league is worse off than any alleged \"Eurosnob\" could ever hope for.\n\n 1. David Mozeshtam\n commented on: July 19, 2010 at 8:50 a.m.\n Mr. Walsh: the term \"football\" originated many centuries ago and has nothing to do with using one's feet to kick the ball. The word \"football\" meant a game played on foot (as opposed to on horseback), not using one's feet. Hence, soccer, American football, Australian football, rugby -- all have the same rights to be called \"football\". In addition, the term \"soccer\" is English -- it originated in the 19th century when football split into rugby football and association (assoc, for short, and then soccer) football.\n\n 1. Philippe Fontanelli\n commented on: July 19,", "base_doc": " of American \u201canalysis\u201d -- but I can assure them that it was no worse than several examples of ignorance displayed by the wonder-Brits brought in by ESPN to do the World Cup.\n\nSo, my snobbo friends, this was not a good week for you. Your teams looked mediocre, even when they put their best available players on the field. Against them the San Jose Earthquakes and the Seattle Sounders played the better soccer.\n\nBy the same yardstick, this was a good weekend for MLS, and not only for their performances against the Brit teams. Sunday\u2019s game between D.C. United and the L.A. Galaxy had plenty of good highly competitive soccer to offer.\n\nEven so, I was a bit disappointed with this game -- not because it compared poorly with the snobbo teams. But because it didn\u2019t measure up to MLS standards. D.C. United, sadly, is no longer the class act it was back in the early MLS days, and with Landon Donovan on the field the Galaxy really ought to be capable of playing a more skillful version of the sport.\n\n 1. Anthony Walsh\n commented on: July 19, 2010 at 4:57 a.m.\n I cannot agree one bit with this. You seem to be creating this anti-MLS snobbo-ness, after the Confederation cup in 2009 and the World Cup this year the americans reputation in football has been alot better than it was pre-2009. Then you have some snobbo like yourself trying to fuel the fire with an article like this. Firstly I don't know the last time Glasgow Celtic done anything outside Scotland. I'm not blaming there terrible performance on travelling, what I am saying is that they are playing in a league not nearly as competitive as the MLS, they rarely beat teams that are not from Scotland. Giving out about Manchester United winning 3-1? They won get over it. Anyone but a bitter fan would give out about that. Spurs didn't win fair enough there is grounds to give out about that considering they are missing their 2 top scorer, their 2 centre halves and a winger, 2 full backs and their number 1 keeper. How couldn't San Jose score? Also wait until Manchester United get there hands on one of the MLS teams. I have come to believe you are the biggest snob of all firstly, it is called Football, it has been around alot longer than what you americans call football(which doesn't consist of mostly using your foot or a ball; which is defined as a spherical object). Secondly it is referred to as nil-nil(look it up in the dictionary). Thirdly agreeing to keep at 11 vs. 11, that would make the World Cup finals look like a walk in the park. I think you need to get over you conspiracy that the rest of the world is against the MLS.\n\n 1. Wendell Gee\n commented on: July 19, 2010 at 7:41 a.m.\n Both the article and comment no. 1 are nonsense to me. First, Mr Walsh, different English-speaking countries use different words for the same thing. This is nothing particularly noteworthy, and not worth any degree of indignation. I just returned from South Africa where, like a number of countries, the use of the word soccer is widespread. Would you similarly scold South Africans for their choice of words? If so, I imagine you would need to brace yourself for being labeled a cultural-imperialist wanker, or some such. That's generally what happens when you go to other countries and arrogantly tell them how to speak. Should baseball ever become popular in England, and should the English adopt their own terminology for certain facets of the game, I cannot imagine the virulent reaction it would (deservedly) elicit were I to go over there and so arrogantly declare, \"it's called (stolen base, double play, force out, whatever) in America, and you have to call it that too!\" Different countries, same language, different words. That's normal. Deal with it. (And seriously, have you never in your life heard an Englishman utter the phrase, zero-zero? Seriously?)\n\n 1. Wendell Gee\n commented on: July 19, 2010 at 8:08 a.m.\n Second, Mr Gardner, please. The notion that there are millions, or even hundreds of thousands, of \"Eurosnobs\" out there is a US soccer message board myth. No, not all people who might to some degree consider themselves soccer fans in the US follow MLS. There are any number of reasons why this might be the case. Sure, \"snobbery\" is one reason, and yes eurosnobs exist. And by \"eurosnobs\" I mean people who arrogantly dismiss MLS out of principle as they carefully manufacture some kind of Euro-soccer image for themselves. But their numbers are insignificant.

This was my previous comment at another page; Who was the idiot referee who ruined the game for Seattle (vs. Celtic)? The moron should be barred, at very least blacklisted by the US Federation. I am not saying to use favoritism, but not be extreme at a friendly where the outcome is practically meaningless, with the exception for the US public in this case Seattle. Thus sacrificing a possible good show for the crowd to enjoy. We need a crowd like that for the \"game\" in the US. It was a friendly game he should have given a penalty at max., but not ejecting the poalkeeper to surely doom the game and influence the result with one less player to play the entire game. Award the Ref 20 years at hard labor in Siberia without a trial. LOL, although it is not funny!\n\n 1.

Ritch then goes back to sleep.\n\nThe TowerEdit\n\nThe party wake up and at breakfast, Ricardo asks where Ritch and Cobblepot went to which Cobblepot explains to him what happened after Riley hit the button in the elevator, Ritch cuts of Cobblepot part way through explaing what happened. Ritch says wants to go back as he feels like they shouldn't be here, but the other party members says they want to stay forever. Cobblepot continues explaining what happened to them, about the other worlds and how they got darker and scarier. They decided to go with the information to the wizards in the tower, to see if they know anything more about it.\n\nThe party get to the steps of the tower, going up until the reach the door which is wide open. The party enter the tower, noticing as they enter the tower it looks as somehow as large as the town. Riley goes up to guard and ask where the offices are, to which the guard asks who she is looking for as there are many offices but had forgotten the guys name. Riley goes up to the same guard again and asks how they can get an audience with the wizards. He says that they carn't get an audience with all the wizards, only one. Pulling out a piece of paper he says that they can see one in 10 minutes, asking and writing down all the party's names.\u00a0Telling them they need to go to section J room 9. Riley asks for directuon, he gives directions but it takes some time for the party to arrive at their destination. They knock on the door which swings opens into a dimley lit room with a couple of chairs and a table, but they find no sign of anybody within the room. Ricardo shouts to draw attention to the party, to which he gets no reply. Cobblepot and Ricardo start investigating the room. After going up and down the room while investigating, Cobblepot places his hand on the wall realising that there is acctually no wall there, as his hand goes through it discovering that it is an illusionary wall.\n\nJust then everyone hears a voice asking What can I do for you?. Ricardo tells the wizard that they are from the World of Ehbon, if there is anyway to get back there and why noone knows about Ehbon. There is no response from the wizard for a period when a flash of light fills the room and as it disappears a man in plain clouthing is left in it's place. He asks Ricardo to repeat what he had just said, Ricardo complies. The wizards asks where he is from, to which Ricardo says Ehbon, telling him that he thinks it is anouther world. Telling him how the party got here through an elevator, about that fact that Darth told them where the room was, about the human blood sacrifice to open the door.\n\nThe wizard after hearing this looks around the room observing the party, then asks if they could take him to this elevator, which Ritch seem hesitant about. But Ricardo says that even if they took him, it might not be there anymore. Cobblepot then inquire's what would the wizard do if they took him to the elevator, he replies saying that i would be very valuable information and simply looking to aquire information about this method of transportation. Cobblepot suggests that if they share this kind of information with him, that he gives them some sort of wealth. The wizard turns around and starts looking inquiztively at Ritch, pointing his staff asks where he came from. Cobblepot once again sees the bright blue aura surronding Ritch. Ritch questions what the third degree is for, then tells the party that he thinks that they shouldn't be telling people this stuff. The wizard is insistent pressing Ritch to answer the question, he says he comes from Bonnedoggle. The wizard tells Ritch that he has a god within him, to which Ritch had no idea. The wizard says he either has or had a presence within him. Ritch then tells him that he has met gods, at this the wizard excuses himself vanishing from the room with a flash of light.\n\nCobblepot during this coversation, walks through the illusionary wall to see what seems like a mirrored room and while behind this wall, casts detect evil at the wizard once he hears him start speaking and does not detect evil then re-enters the room. No one else notices this as everyone was focused on the wizard. The party have a discussion and really don't seem to have a purpose at this point in time, so Ritch suggests if the wander about in this world they might be able to find out that purpose. 45 minutes into waiting for the wizard, Ritch says that this guy is not coming back and that they should just go.\n\nRicardo agreeing with him casts wall of fog in the room before leaving. After casting this spell it messes with the illusionary wall, making it somewhat translucant which Ricardo notices. Ritch and Ricardo stick their heads through the illusionary wall. Ricardo then thinks that the wizard was hiding something, while Ritch goes up to the other wall and tries to stick his hand through it hurting his hand as he hit the wall as he did it forcibly, Cobblepot trying to sound surprised at this recent \"discovery\".\n\nThe party exit the opposite door and walk down the hallway. As they get to the end of the hall they realise, that it connects to the same room that they walked into and the other hall is full with more rooms. Ritch opens anouther door, to anouther dimly lit room and apon entering the room a female voice asks What can I do for you?, Ricardo tells her that he doesn't have an appointment but the other wizard, ditched the party. She immediatly says If you don't have an appointment, get out Ricardo says you must be a friend of the wizard in the pink boots, but she just repeats herself. Then Ricardo says that they have a god with them to which she howls in laughter, telling him that she'll have to remove them. A strong wind pushes all of the party agianst the wall, Ritch shouts 'lem' but remebers he doesn't have the ring and Ricardo isn't wearing it so nothing happens. The party all leave the room and on either side of them, there are two sets of guards saying come with us.\n\nNotable EventsEdit\n\nWeek 4< \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 >Week 6\n\nAll items (1)<|endoftext|>Tuesday, November 30, 2010\n\nBeware of Politicians Who Do Not Understand Economics\n\nThe following quotation is attributed to Abraham Lincoln in the 1912 three-volume publication Industrial Development of Nations by George Boughton Curtiss. The story is also recounted in the book Free Trade, the Tariff and Reciprocity by Frank William Taussig.\n\nThe quotation is a good example of a passage that sounds persuasive in a political speech, but has no merit when subjected to scrutiny and the application of basic economic principles. To see the fallacy of the protectionist sentiment, use the same logic on a personal level:\nWhen I buy food and clothes from stores, I get the food and clothes and the store owners get the money. When I grow my own food and make my own clothes, I get the food and clothes and get to keep my money.\nIt is essentially an argument to never buy anything from anyone. But that is absurd. It ignores the economic concepts of specialization, trade, and opportunity cost. People and societies benefit when they devote their time and energy to goods and services they can produce at a relatively lower absolute or comparative cost than others. People then use the income from their specialized activities to purchase the things they are not able to produce as efficiently. Indeed, one of the primary sources of economic growth and prosperity is the willingness and ability to specialize and trade.\n\nModern politicians are equally guilty of populist appeals that lack economic credibility, such as claims that the primary source of economic growth is lower taxes and reduced regulation of business, or that tax cuts increase government revenues, or that significant reductions to the", "base_doc": " goes back and touches the wall again, ignoring Ritch as if trying to figure something out telling him not to mess with anything, telling him he will be back in a couple of days and that this conversation never happened and to not tell any of the others about this, at which point he leaves the room.

The party enter the tower, noticing as they enter the tower it looks as somehow as large as the town. Riley goes up to guard and ask where the offices are, to which the guard asks who she is looking for as there are many offices but had forgotten the guys name. Riley goes up to the same guard again and asks how they can get an audience with the wizards. He says that they carn't get an audience with all the wizards, only one. Pulling out a piece of paper he says that they can see one in 10 minutes, asking and writing down all the party's names.\u00a0Telling them they need to go to section J room 9. Riley asks for directuon, he gives directions but it takes some time for the party to arrive at their destination. They knock on the door which swings opens into a dimley lit room with a couple of chairs and a table, but they find no sign of anybody within the room. Ricardo shouts to draw attention to the party, to which he gets no reply. Cobblepot and Ricardo start investigating the room. After going up and down the room while investigating, Cobblepot places his hand on the wall realising that there is acctually no wall there, as his hand goes through it discovering that it is an illusionary wall.\n\nJust then everyone hears a voice asking What can I do for you?. Ricardo tells the wizard that they are from the World of Ehbon, if there is anyway to get back there and why noone knows about Ehbon. There is no response from the wizard for a period when a flash of light fills the room and as it disappears a man in plain clouthing is left in it's place. He asks Ricardo to repeat what he had just said, Ricardo complies. The wizards asks where he is from, to which Ricardo says Ehbon, telling him that he thinks it is anouther world. Telling him how the party got here through an elevator, about that fact that Darth told them where the room was, about the human blood sacrifice to open the door.\n\nThe wizard after hearing this looks around the room observing the party, then asks if they could take him to this elevator, which Ritch seem hesitant about. But Ricardo says that even if they took him, it might not be there anymore. Cobblepot then inquire's what would the wizard do if they took him to the elevator, he replies saying that i would be very valuable information and simply looking to aquire information about this method of transportation. Cobblepot suggests that if they share this kind of information with him, that he gives them some sort of wealth. The wizard turns around and starts looking inquiztively at Ritch, pointing his staff asks where he came from. Cobblepot once again sees the bright blue aura surronding Ritch. Ritch questions what the third degree is for, then tells the party that he thinks that they shouldn't be telling people this stuff. The wizard is insistent pressing Ritch to answer the question, he says he comes from Bonnedoggle. The wizard tells Ritch that he has a god within him, to which Ritch had no idea. The wizard says he either has or had a presence within him. Ritch then tells him that he has met gods, at this the wizard excuses himself vanishing from the room with a flash of light.\n\nCobblepot during this coversation, walks through the illusionary wall to see what seems like a mirrored room and while behind this wall, casts detect evil at the wizard once he hears him start speaking and does not detect evil then re-enters the room. No one else notices this as everyone was focused on the wizard. The party have a discussion and really don't seem to have a purpose at this point in time, so Ritch suggests if the wander about in this world they might be able to find out that purpose. 45 minutes into waiting for the wizard, Ritch says that this guy is not coming back and that they should just go.\n\nRicardo agreeing with him casts wall of fog in the room before leaving. After casting this spell it messes with the illusionary wall, making it somewhat translucant which Ricardo notices. Ritch and Ricardo stick their heads through the illusionary wall. Ricardo then thinks that the wizard was hiding something, while Ritch goes up to the other wall and tries to stick his hand through it hurting his hand as he hit the wall as he did it forcibly, Cobblepot trying to sound surprised at this recent \"discovery\".\n\nThe party exit the opposite door and walk down the hallway. As they get to the end of the hall they realise, that it connects to the same room that they walked into and the other hall is full with more rooms. Ritch opens anouther door, to anouther dimly lit room and apon entering the room a female voice asks What can I do for you?, Ricardo tells her that he doesn't have an appointment but the other wizard, ditched the party. She immediatly says If you don't have an appointment, get out Ricardo says you must be a friend of the wizard in the pink boots, but she just repeats herself. Then Ricardo says that they have a god with them to which she howls in laughter, telling him that she'll have to remove them. A strong wind pushes all of the party agianst the wall, Ritch shouts 'lem' but remebers he doesn't have the ring and Ricardo isn't wearing it so nothing happens. The party all leave the room and on either side of them, there are two sets of guards saying come with us.\n\nNotable EventsEdit\n\nWeek 4< \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 >Week 6\n\nAll items (1)<|endoftext|>Tuesday, November 30, 2010\n\nBeware of Politicians Who Do Not Understand Economics\n\nThe following quotation is attributed to Abraham Lincoln in the 1912 three-volume publication Industrial Development of Nations by George Boughton Curtiss. The story is also recounted in the book Free Trade, the Tariff and Reciprocity by Frank William Taussig.\n\nThe quotation is a good example of a passage that sounds persuasive in a political speech, but has no merit when subjected to scrutiny and the application of basic economic principles. To see the fallacy of the protectionist sentiment, use the same logic on a personal level:\nWhen I buy food and clothes from stores, I get the food and clothes and the store owners get the money. When I grow my own food and make my own clothes, I get the food and clothes and get to keep my money.\nIt is essentially an argument to never buy anything from anyone. But that is absurd. It ignores the economic concepts of specialization, trade, and opportunity cost. People and societies benefit when they devote their time and energy to goods and services they can produce at a relatively lower absolute or comparative cost than others. People then use the income from their specialized activities to purchase the things they are not able to produce as efficiently. Indeed, one of the primary sources of economic growth and prosperity is the willingness and ability to specialize and trade.\n\nModern politicians are equally guilty of populist appeals that lack economic credibility, such as claims that the primary source of economic growth is lower taxes and reduced regulation of business, or that tax cuts increase government revenues, or that significant reductions to the U.S. budget deficit and the U.S. public debt can be achieved without sacrifices in the form of higher taxes and reduced government benefits.\n\nFriday, November 12, 2010\n\nFriday, November 5, 2010\n\nBen Bernanke teaches at Jacksonville University\n\nBen Bernanke, the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, came to Jacksonville University on November 5, 2010 to be a guest lecturer in the Money and Banking course.

The Miyaguchi-Preneel hash construction is better in this sense, because the attacker doesn't directly control anything that goes into the key input.\n\nMiyaguchi-Preneel is shown below. Notice that the message enters the plaintext input to AES, not the key input. The key is driven with the chaining value, which is hard for the attacker to have much control over. Therefore, Miyaguchi-Preneel seems much more robust against related-key attacks on AES. This is an advantage of Miyaguchi-Preneel over Davies-Meyer or Hirose. Unfortunately, Miyaguchi-Preneel only gives a 128-bit hash, and thus is $2\\times$ slower than some alternatives. This may make it unattractive in practice.\n\nMiyaguchi-Preneel mode\n\nshare|improve this answer\nYes, with AES, Miyaguchi-Preneel seems more robust: the block cipher is in a known-key setup, rather than chosen-key (Davies-Meyer) or a half-chosen-key (Hirose). However, Miyaguchi-Preneel only gives a 128-bit hash (uncomfortably narrow nowadays w.r.t. collision-resistance), and uses 128-bit blocks rather than Davies-Meyer's 256-bit, making it less efficient by a factor like 2. That would be a high performance penalty to endure if we had reasons to believe attacks exploiting AES related-key weaknesses are likely to forever have cost higher than the expected resistance to brute-force attacks. \u2013\u00a0 fgrieu Apr 14 at 19:31\n\nYour Answer\n\n\n<|endoftext|>Defusing Mount Kelud\n\nIndonesia is certainly not a destination for those wanting the geologically quiet life; its close proximity to a subduction zone is a recipe not just for large, potentially tsunami generating, earthquakes, but also a significant number of explosive volcanoes. Mount Kelud (aka Mount Kelut \u2013 I presume this is a transliteration issue as they\u2019re definitely talking about the same volcano) is the current focus of concern for the Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation, who have ordered an evacuation of 30,000 people living around its rumbling crater (pictured below in more tranquil times).\n\n\nOne of the reasons this particular volcano is considered to be so dangerous is its large crater lake. During an eruption, the water within is superheated and explosively ejected from the crater, and mixes with erupted volcanic ash to form devastating mud flows, or lahars. Lahars generated during an eruption in 1919 overwhelmed villages and farmland as far as 40 km from the crater, and killed more than 5000 people.\nSo here we have another example of people choosing to live within spitting distance of a malevolent geological entity, and refusing to budge even when it is rumbling threateningly at them. What\u2019s interesting in this case, though, is that the Indonesians have apparently been quite proactive in attempting to reduce the threat posed by this particular volcano. Following the 1919 eruption, they set out to cripple Mount Kelud\u2019s lahar-generating ability, by digging a series of tunnels that would drain the crater lake.\n\n\nAfter completion in 1926, this drainage system reduced the volume of the crater lake by over 90%, from 40 million cubic metres to less than 2 million. This impressive engineering feat undoubtedly saved countless lives during Kelud\u2019s next big eruption, in 1951: compared to 1919, the lahars produced were severely limited in scope, extending less than 5 km down the volcano\u2019s slopes. Sadly, it was a Phyrric victory: the drainage tunnels were damaged, and material excavated during the eruption had lowered the crater bottom, allowing 20 million cubic metres of water to accumulate inside by the time of the next large eruption in 1966. The resulting lahars were almost back to 1919 levels of destruction, and killed nearly 300 people. The Indonesian authorities learnt from that mistake, however, and by 1967 had dug a new, deeper tunnel, which allowed the crater lake to be drained to its present volume of 2.5 million cubic metres.\n\n\nIt\u2019s a small comfort to know that, thanks to some all-to-rare foresight, the people currently digging in their heels on Kelud\u2019s threatening slopes are a little bit safer than perhaps they would have been.\n1.

The Miyaguchi-Preneel hash construction is better in this sense, because the attacker doesn't directly control anything that goes into the key input.\n\nMiyaguchi-Preneel is shown below. Notice that the message enters the plaintext input to AES, not the key input. The key is driven with the chaining value, which is hard for the attacker to have much control over. Therefore, Miyaguchi-Preneel seems much more robust against related-key attacks on AES. This is an advantage of Miyaguchi-Preneel over Davies-Meyer or Hirose. Unfortunately, Miyaguchi-Preneel only gives a 128-bit hash, and thus is $2\\times$ slower than some alternatives. This may make it unattractive in practice.\n\nMiyaguchi-Preneel mode\n\nshare|improve this answer\nYes, with AES, Miyaguchi-Preneel seems more robust: the block cipher is in a known-key setup, rather than chosen-key (Davies-Meyer) or a half-chosen-key (Hirose). However, Miyaguchi-Preneel only gives a 128-bit hash (uncomfortably narrow nowadays w.r.t. collision-resistance), and uses 128-bit blocks rather than Davies-Meyer's 256-bit, making it less efficient by a factor like 2. That would be a high performance penalty to endure if we had reasons to believe attacks exploiting AES related-key weaknesses are likely to forever have cost higher than the expected resistance to brute-force attacks. \u2013\u00a0 fgrieu Apr 14 at 19:31\n\nYour Answer\n\n\n<|endoftext|>Defusing Mount Kelud\n\nIndonesia is certainly not a destination for those wanting the geologically quiet life; its close proximity to a subduction zone is a recipe not just for large, potentially tsunami generating, earthquakes, but also a significant number of explosive volcanoes.

And of course, if. This isn't distracting, I hope. OK, let's read this together. Genesis 2:2, now Abraham goes to Egypt and he flees there because there's a famine. \u201cAnd he says to Sarah, his wife, she is my sister.\u201d Was she his sister? She was half, his sister. But if you're telling a half-truth what's the other half? You know, I can kind of feel this thing pulling my nose off to the left. Genesis 26:7, \u201cThen the men of the place asked about his wife, and he said, she's my sister.\u201d \u201cHow you doin' sis?\u201d\n\nGrabs her by the head and gives her a noogie. Trying to act like she\u2019s; she was his wife. A half-truth. It's not the only time in the Bible that we see that happening. You know, because of Abraham's bad example, what did his son Isaac later do when he fled to Egypt? Same thing. He said, \u201cRebecca, she's my sister.\u201d Why did he do it? Why did Abraham lie about Sarah? He was afraid. He was afraid they were going to take his wife. Why did Isaac lie? He was also afraid. \u201cShe's my sister.\u201d Another example where people are less than honest because they\u2019re afraid. Now these are God's people. Abraham, David. Genesis 18:12, \u201cTherefore Sarah laughed within herself,\u201d now you remember the context of this story. Abraham is sitting outside the tent, under a tree.\n\nHe's talking to the Lord, Himself, who was with two angels. The angels are on their way to Sodom to execute judgment on the city. And the Lord is talking to Abraham, and He gives him the promise that even though Abraham had lost faith and had already taken another wife, Hagar, and he had a son. He said, \u201cNo no. That\u2019s not him. Sarah, your wife, is going to have a child.\u201d Sarah is pushing 90 years of age at this point. So Sarah hears this and she laughs within herself. She doesn't laugh out loud. \u201cSaying, after I've grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?\u201d She giggles thinking about this. But she doesn't do it out loud. And the Lord says to Abraham. The Lord and Abraham are talking outside the tent. \u201cWhy did Sarah laugh, saying, surely, I will bear a child since I am old?\n\nIs anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time, I will return to you according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. But Sarah denied it saying, I did not laugh. For she was afraid. And he said, No, but you did laugh.\u201d Was she telling the truth? Did she laugh out loud? No. Where did she laugh? In her heart. And she said, \u201cI didn't laugh.\u201d And God said, \u201cYou did laugh.\u201d How could God say that? What was God judging by? The outward act or the inward thought? So where does hypocrisy come from? When we are saying one thing that technically might be true, but in our heart we're communicating something that isn't true, is it truth? Doesn't the Lord say that it's the inside of the cup that needs cleansing? In our hearts sometimes we believe one thing, and with our mouths, we say another that might technically be accurate.\n\nI've done it, friends. And I've been convicted that it\u2019s wrong. God wants us to be honest in our hearts. Peter, he is exhibit A in hypocrite. Now that's good news for you and me because if there's hope for Peter, there's hope for you and me. Amen? Matthew 26:34-35, \u201cAnd Jesus said unto him, verily I say unto thee, this night before the cock crows thou will deny me three times,\u201d thrice. \u201cAnd Peter said to Him, though I should die with thee, yet I will not deny thee. Likewise, said also all the disciples.\u201d Now, here's the question. Was Peter sincere? I think when he made that statement he really believed that he was willing to die for the Lord. And one reason, I know that is later when the soldiers did come and they began to take Jesus to tie Him up, who pulled out a sword? It was Peter, to fight. [end side one]\n\n\u2026 launched the attack himself. But he didn't know his own heart. He didn't think he was capable of denying the Lord because he thought he was willing to die for Him. You know, Peter would have been willing to die in battle, but not from ridicule. He didn't know his weakness. Matthew 26:74, after they began to mock Jesus, and He was not popular any more, then the servants there in the temple began to say, \u201cAren't you a Galilean? You\u2019re one of His disciples. Ha! Look what\u2019s happening. You believed He was the Messiah?\u201d And he could not bear the ridicule. And he began, Matthew 26:74, \u201cHe began to curse, and to swear saying, I do not know the man. And immediately the rooster crowed, and Peter remembered the words of Jesus, who had said to him, \"Before the rooster crows, you'll deny me three times.\" So he went out and he wept bitterly. Why did Peter lie? He was afraid. He was afraid.\n\nYou know, I guess part of the secret of overcoming hypocrisy is overcoming fear. The Lord tells us, \u201cGreat peace have they that love thy law. Nothing will offend them. Perfect love casts out fear.\u201d When you love the Lord perfectly; you know, there's something very liberating about not being worried about what people think about you. Being able to be honest and not being afraid of reprisals or ridicule, very liberating, great peace. It's not the only time that Peter played the part of the hypocrite. Galatians 2, we haven't talked about this very much. You still with me? No, I'm losing you. I'm going to put on another mask. This is typical. This is your Lone Ranger variety. Doesn't cover the whole face, just the eyes. Yeah, I can see. Galatians 2, are you with me? Remember, the word hypocrite means mask, ok? Galatians 2:11-13, \u201cNow when Peter had come to Antioch I withstood him to his face because he was to be blamed. For before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles. But when they came, he withdrew and he separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.\u201d\n\nWhy did he separate himself? He was afraid again. Fearing those, who were those of the circumcision? Those are the Jews. \u201cAnd the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.\u201d You know what this tells us about hypocrisy? It's contagious. It's epidemic, actually. You know what happened here? You're not able to listen to me with this on, are you? You know what happened here? Even in the time of the apostles there was contention among the Christians whether or not the new converts had to participate in the Jewish customs and holidays, and to what extent. Have you read Acts 15, where they went to Jerusalem, and they said, \u201cWhat are we supposed to tell the Gentiles to do?\u201d And they said, \u201cOK, command them not to eat blood or things strangled. Abstain from fornication, things offered to idols.\u201d Sort of gave them four basics that they were confused on. I've actually heard some Christians say, \u201cThose are the only new laws in the New Testament that Gentiles are supposed to observe.\u201d A really strange arrangement of laws.\n\nDoesn't see anything about God's name in vain, or stealing or any of these other things. And so, Jews, we're not supposed to Gentiles. You remember when Peter went in to eat with Cornelius? He saw the vision of the sheet that came down from heaven. And God said, \u201cArise and eat.\u201d This is Acts 10. \u201cPeter said, Not so Lord. I've never eaten anything common or unclean. And the Lord says, Do not call unclean what I have cleansed.\u201d Three times this sheet comes down. It's full of all kinds of creepy-crawly, unclean animals. And it goes back up to heaven. Three times God says the", "base_doc": " tell a half-truth. And of course, if. This isn't distracting, I hope. OK, let's read this together.

Galatians 2, we haven't talked about this very much. You still with me? No, I'm losing you. I'm going to put on another mask. This is typical. This is your Lone Ranger variety. Doesn't cover the whole face, just the eyes. Yeah, I can see. Galatians 2, are you with me? Remember, the word hypocrite means mask, ok? Galatians 2:11-13, \u201cNow when Peter had come to Antioch I withstood him to his face because he was to be blamed. For before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles. But when they came, he withdrew and he separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.\u201d\n\nWhy did he separate himself? He was afraid again. Fearing those, who were those of the circumcision? Those are the Jews. \u201cAnd the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.\u201d You know what this tells us about hypocrisy? It's contagious. It's epidemic, actually. You know what happened here? You're not able to listen to me with this on, are you? You know what happened here? Even in the time of the apostles there was contention among the Christians whether or not the new converts had to participate in the Jewish customs and holidays, and to what extent. Have you read Acts 15, where they went to Jerusalem, and they said, \u201cWhat are we supposed to tell the Gentiles to do?\u201d And they said, \u201cOK, command them not to eat blood or things strangled. Abstain from fornication, things offered to idols.\u201d Sort of gave them four basics that they were confused on. I've actually heard some Christians say, \u201cThose are the only new laws in the New Testament that Gentiles are supposed to observe.\u201d A really strange arrangement of laws.\n\nDoesn't see anything about God's name in vain, or stealing or any of these other things. And so, Jews, we're not supposed to Gentiles. You remember when Peter went in to eat with Cornelius? He saw the vision of the sheet that came down from heaven. And God said, \u201cArise and eat.\u201d This is Acts 10. \u201cPeter said, Not so Lord. I've never eaten anything common or unclean. And the Lord says, Do not call unclean what I have cleansed.\u201d Three times this sheet comes down. It's full of all kinds of creepy-crawly, unclean animals. And it goes back up to heaven. Three times God says the same thing. Three times Peter says, \u201cNot so, Lord. I have never eaten anything common or unclean.\u201d Keep in mind; some people try to use that. They say it's OK to eat anything. Peter never takes anything out of the sheet and eats it.\n\nFurthermore, it ought to be very important for you to remember, Peter, this is eight years after Christ, says he has still never eaten anything unclean. Meaning, Jesus never told him that was OK. But what does it mean? While Peter is pondering the vision some Gentiles came from Cornelius\u2019 house because an angel had told Cornelius to go get Peter. And Peter finally realizes, I'm supposed to go talk to the Gentiles. I'm not supposed to call the Gentiles unclean.\u201d He goes to Cornelius\u2019 house. He begins by saying, \u201cYou know that it's not allowed for a Jew to eat with a Gentile, but God has shown me I am not supposed to call any man common or unclean.\u201d\n\nHad nothing to", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 227404, "pt_loc": 43864543, "pt_shuffle_idx": 50721619, "doc_index_f": 79509284, "doc_index_l": 79509284, "offset_f": 6535, "offset_l": 8583, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 219, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]}

The purpose of this study is to make decisions using the Analytical Hierarchy Prosess (AHP) method in determining the best village. Criteria for determining the best village; namely Community Economy, Public Health, Education, Security and Order and Community Institutions. The results of the calculations using the AHP method in the paired criteria comparison matrix, calculate the eigenvalue until the consistency test. The results of the calculation criteria obtained are: Public Health (45%), Community Economy (24%), Education (16%), Security and Order (9%) and Community Institutions (6%). So that the highest criteria obtained are public health and the lowest, namely community institutions Scholarships are one of the factors that can increase learning motivation for students. This scholarship is one of the school programs to help parents of students to ease the burden of education costs of the students. In determining the scholarship recipients who meet the requirements and eligibility at the MA Raudlatul Ulum a decision support system is using the Weighted Product method. Decision making in the Weighted Product method is done by multiplication to connect the rating of each attribute, where the rating of each attribute must be raised by the weight of the attribute in question. In this study there are several criteria used in decision making, namely Average Value, Behavior, Extracurricular, Parent Income, and Dependents of Parents. The research carried out begins with determining the weight of each criterion, then the ranking process is carried out which will produce the most optimal alternative. Based on the results of testing that has been done, it can be concluded that the system is able to provide accuracy of 90% if compared with the results of testing manually. Credit is one of the common practices that provide benefits for financial or non-financial institutions. However on the other hand, aid loans also have higher risks if the institutions give the wrong decision in giving a loan. Credit Scoring is one of techniques that can determine whether it is feasible to given a loan or not. The selection of a credit scoring model greatly determines the value in classifying credit that is feasible or not to giving a loan. Decision Support System (DSS) is one system that can be used to overcome this problem. The advantages of DSS are being able to overcome the problems that have semi-structured and unstructured data. In this study, DSS was supported by using Artificial Neural Network Backpropagation method and TOPSIS method to find the priority for seeking eligibility. Accuracy results obtained in this study reached 98,69% with the number of iteration is 300, the number of training data is 30, neuron hidden 12 and error tolerance is 0.001.

Guitar is a popular musical instrument in the world and is a metronome for every use in various music events and its correlation. As a metronome, the guitar must be well standardized on the quality of each part so that sound that comes in line with the user's expectations in this case is the guitarist. Damage to the guitar is something normal because of its intense use so it needs proper handling in the repair process. The easiest thing is to bring a broken guitar to the experts, but when there are not many guitar service experts or a long enough distance to reach it, then guitar repairs need to be done immediately. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a system that can act as a tutor in the maintenance and repair of guitars by utilizing artificial intelligence embedded in the system. With the help of artificial intelligence, it is expected that the system can assist in the decision making of guitar technicians in the process of making guitar repair decisions based on the symptoms that occur. Decision making used uses the certainty factor method based on certainty factors. After going through the equivalence partitioning testing process, in general this system produces a total percentage of 100% on the success of the item test by experts in the testing process of the 25 items tested. Thus the application meets the requirements for making the program, which is readable and valid.

Are we finally going to learn more about the maze?

Perhaps it's a way for the hosts to become fully sentient, so maybe we're about to see Dolores go full human?\n\n\nNow that we're on the subject, what is the Man in Black's name?\n\n\nThe most likely scenario we'll see play out in the finale is a reveal showing the Man in Black to be William. We know there are multiple time frames being shown, and the Man in Black exists in the \"present\" while William's plot takes place about 30 years ago.\n\nThere are many clues which give this theory credence, so it's just a matter of the finale offering up some indisputable confirmation.

Was it Elsie herself, or someone else like Ford who wanted Stubbs out of the way?\n\n\nIs Elsie still alive, and did she figure out a way to bring Stubbs to her?\n\n\nWe assumed Elsie was killed by Bernard based on the flashbacks we saw of him choking her. But maybe this was a misdirection? Ford and Bernard have never explicitly said she was dead. When Bernard asked Ford what he did to her, this was the reply: \"We've had to make some uncomfortable decisions, Bernard.\"\n\nWhen Stubbs saw Elsie's device pinging it said she was in Sector 20 \u2014 but she was attacked by Bernard in Sector 3. It's plausible she is still alive and set a trap in order to bring Stubbs to her. Or maybe she's really, really dead and we have to move on. Either way, we'd like some answers about that mysterious device moving of its own accord.\n\n\nWhat was the \"critical failure\" that happened over 30 years ago?\n\n\nThis is a question we've had since the pilot, when Bernard was speaking with Stubbs and Theresa Cullen about the new update. \"The park hasn't had a critical failure in over 30 years,\" Bernard told Theresa.\n\n\"Meaning we're overdue,\" she replied.\n\nAgain, knowing that we're seeing multiple time frames, we're hoping to see this critical failure for ourselves.

We don't even technically know where in the world the park is (assuming its not on another planet). So what's out there? Dolores raised this point herself in episode nine when talking to William and Logan.\n\n\"You both keep assuming that I want 'out' \u2014 whatever that is,\" Dolores said. \"If it's such a wonderful place out there, why are you all clamoring to get in here?\"\n\nThe slightly uncomfortable look Logan gave William after this makes us think she's onto something.\n\n\nAnd finally \u2014 how many humans will die at the hands of hosts?\n\nJohn P.

But we need to start saying it, and meaning it.\n\nThe President is calling for a Spending Freeze, in a manner that nearly everybody recognizes as a meaningless facade. Rasmussen\u2019s latest poll indicates that fewer than 10% of Americans believe that the spending freeze called for in the President\u2019s State of the Union address will actually reduce the deficit a significant amount. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen a poll showing greater disbelief from the American people on any topic.\n\nBut the act of actually calling for the freeze indicates that the President\u2019s focus group watchers know that the people want somehow to reduce these deficits dramatically.\n\nNotice that last phrase: \u201creduce these deficits.\u201d The Obama administration claims to be pursuing the goal of reducing the deficits to only 3% of Gross Domestic Product by 2015. Is that a suitable goal? Not at all: with the US GDP hovering a bit over $14 trillion, what it means is that when the administration reaches its goal, we\u2019ll only be adding another $420 billion in new debt every year. I\u2019ll repeat that: when Obama reaches the place where he considers the US to be acting responsibly, we will be adding another $420 billion to the national debt \u2014 every year.\n\nMeanwhile, the current budget, assuming the President is not being overly optimistic about tax revenues (which we all know he is,) calls for a deficit equal to 10.6% of GDP. Again, let me repeat that: the amount that the government will be spending beyond what the government will receive in revenue is greater than 10% of what the entire nation will produce this year.\n\nWho says spending is out of control?\n\nIt\u2019s time to revisit the difference between a deficit and a debt. Because we can\u2019t afford to aim at deficit reduction sometime in the future. If the US economy is to survive as a first world economy, we have to aim for debt reduction, and that right soon.\n\nA deficit occurs when you spend more money than you make in a given year. I earn $50,000 a year (hypothetically): I actually spend $52,000 in that year. Where does the extra $2,000 come from? Well, I put it on a credit card. At the end of the year, I owe the credit card company $2,000. The deficit is $2,000, the debt is also $2,000.\n\nThen I do it again: the next year, I earn $50,000, but spend $52,000. I borrow another $2,000 from the same credit card company. The deficit is $2,000, but now (because I have not paid off the debt from last year) the total debt is $4,000. \u201cDeficit\u201d refers to yearly budget figures; \u201cdebt\u201d refers to what we owe overall.\n\nEvery year I do this again, I maintain a deficit of $2,000, but my debt keeps getting deeper and deeper. And because we all know from experience that debt is not free, the amount of my $50,000 that I have to spend just to keep the credit card company from hounding me with collection calls keeps getting larger.\n\nThis is the current state of the US federal government, the reason why the Chinese are starting to bail on Treasury bills, and why interest rates are starting to climb. I wrote about it back in December, noting that we\u2019re quickly approaching the point where the interest to service the national debt will exceed all discretionary, non-military spending. That\u2019s the built-in, annual deficit. Meanwhile, the Senate has just raised the debt ceiling for the US another $2 trillion, to $14.3 trillion. Our total debt is approaching the nation\u2019s total production, and we\u2019re now adding nearly $2 trillion in new debt every year.\n\nIf my hypothetical family had been spending so irresponsibly that I was approaching credit card debt equal to my annual income, the solution would be plain and dramatic: I would need to stop spending immediately, and go into a radical program of debt reduction. I would have to set up a budget on which I was living on considerably less than my $50,000 annual income \u2014 making lifestyle choices that made that possible, like cutting out all entertainment expenditures, eating beans and rice instead of steak and shrimp, and patching clothes when they wore out \u2014 and aggressively pay down the credit card debt until it reached zero.\n\nTo speak of shaving the size of the federal deficit at this moment would be like my hypothetical family agreeing to put only $1,750 dollars onto the credit card this year, instead of $2,000 . (To speak of subsuming 1/7 of the US economy for health care at this moment is like that family trying to purchase a five-million-dollar yacht. It\u2019s criminal.) We do not need to gradually reduce the deficit. We need to dramatically and immediately move to reduce the debt.\n\nThis means moving immediately to solve Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and federal pensions in such a way as to move all four onto actuarially sound financial footing. This means cutting benefits. Sorry, that\u2019s a fact.\n\nI detested President Clinton for his routine flouting of the law and his narcissism; but the greatest crime of the Clinton administration was not undermining citizens\u2019 legitimate lawsuits, nor was it putting US policy up for sale. His greatest crime was squandering an opportunity to solve the approaching fiscal bomb of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. He had a good economy, and he was popular; the political times were ripe for making Social Security partly private (as all European socialist nations have done) and trimming Medicare and Medicaid to conform to the real world. Instead, he chose to play accounting tricks to make the good economic times seem better than they were and secure his legacy in the history books.\n\nBut the problem is not just Clinton\u2019s: Medicare and Medicaid date from Johnson\u2019s Great Society, Social Security from the New Deal, and no administration since, Democrat or Republican, has addressed the obvious actuarial imbalance in those programs. It was plain that these programs could not continue as they were, but nobody did anything about them. George W. Bush made a half-hearted wave in the direction of solving Social Security, but surrendered without a fight in the face of a Democratic party public relations onslaught, even though he was a second-term President with nothing to lose. And today, with the Democrats playing Russian Roulette with $2 trillion annual deficits, Republicans are merely squawking about possible tax increases.\n\nI\u2019ve got bad news: if the US is ever going to return to fiscal sanity, some tax increases will have to happen. I\u2019m sorry, but it\u2019s a fact.\n\nBut saying so is not enough, not by 1/10. The first, second, third, sixteenth, and three hundredth steps have to be hard, unyielding, persistent cutting of federal spending \u2014 and that means persistent reduction in federal power. We must declare full-out war against government spending. Everything has to be cut. Everything. Every program you like has to be reduced. Unnecessary departments have to be eliminated. Mandates have to be dismantled. Projects spanning multiple presidential administrations need to be established to seek out, examine, and ultimate eliminate 9/10 of the nonsense currently performed by the federal government.

Our ancestors paid hard prices to rescue the nation from danger in the past, fought wars and suffered depressions and so forth. It\u2019s our turn. If the Obama administration forced us to accept health care rationing while pretending to serve us, that would be tyranny. But we can choose to cut our own benefits willingly, for the benefit of our children. Maybe we didn\u2019t break it, but we enjoyed it, it\u2019s our job to fix it \u2014 and if we do it willingly, it\u2019s not tyranny.\n\nIf the Tea Party movement, currently more popular than either Democrats or Republicans, is to produce anything of value, it will have to be this: elect one Representative after another, and one Senator after another, who pledges to cut into government spending enough to reduce the debt, not just the deficit. And then, hold them accountable for doing so, and \u2014 this part is crucial \u2014 not go berserk and hand the government over to tax-and-spend Democrats every time a Congress acts responsibly and cuts some program we like.

-{"pt_doc": "Skujaine is a village in the municipality of Penkule and Dobele municipality in the historical region of Zemgale and the Zemgale Planning Region in Latvia.<|endoftext|> Monday, the government of Argentina presented oral arguments in a Supreme Court case that is expected to determine whether Elliott can force banks to turn over information on the whereabouts of some Argentine assets. If Elliott knows where Argentina is stashing assets, it can tie them up in order to pressure the country into handing over what Elliott claims it is due.\n\nElliott is sometimes called a \u201cvulture fund,\u201d an unflattering term for funds that buy up the government debt of ailing countries in the form of bonds purchased at a fraction of their face value. Sometimes, the country has already defaulted on these bonds. In other cases, the country is on the verge of default. Either way, when it fails to pay up at the appointed time, the fund sues for the full value of the bonds plus past-due interest, which can amount to huge windfalls on the initial investments. One of Elliott\u2019s earliest forays into sovereign debt was in 1996, when it bought $20.7 million of Peru\u2019s debt at a discount, for $11.4 million, and then took the country to court to demand full repayment, eventually walking away with fifty-eight million dollars, according to an article in Cond\u00e9 Nast Portfolio. Elliott is not the only fund to do this sort of thing (and distressed debt represents only a small fraction of its dealings). Other so-called vulture funds have bought old loans\u2014for example, a multimillion-dollar loan issued to Zambia for the construction of roads, in the seventies\u2014that were collecting dust on the neglected books of unstable or impoverished governments, and then sued for repayment when the debtor country\u2019s finances started to improve. By then, the debtor country could, ostensibly, afford to repay part of what it owed; it\u2019s important to reconcile with existing creditors if a country wants to borrow more money in the international markets. Often, but not always, lawsuits end up in U.S. courts, since sovereigns issue their debt on the New York market and agree to submit to the jurisdiction of federal courts applying New York law.\n\nArgentina is a special case, because the amount of money involved is enormous, and Argentina refuses to pay back some creditors. (The government says, in effect, that the cost of repayment is too steep, though Elliott and other creditors claim otherwise.) Just before Argentina defaulted on its debt, in 2001, the government devalued its currency; this was painful at first, but eventually the cheaper currency, and a global commodities boom, helped the government to improve its finances. During that period, Argentina begrudgingly made two deals, in 2005 and 2010, to restructure its private debt and give creditors a portion of what they were owed, which approximately ninety-two per cent of private creditors eventually accepted. But about eight per cent of creditors, including Elliott, have rejected those deals and pushed for a better one. Among them are hedge funds and several thousand small-time Italian retail bondholders.\n\nElliott has been more aggressive than the rest in the pursuit of its money. \u201cA group like Elliott are the only guys that can do this,\u201d Hans Humes, the chairman of a hedge fund called Greylock Capital and the former head of the Global Committee of Argentine Bondholders, said. Elliott is a twenty-billion-dollar fund; it can afford to be brazen.\n\nAs Argentina has wrangled with creditors, it has also struggled to gain access to capital markets. When Argentina does borrow money, it\u2019s often at a high interest rate. This comes at a time when Argentina\u2019s growth has stalled amid a drop in commodities prices worldwide and nagging inflation at home. \u201cSettling all of its outstanding disputes is in Argentina\u2019s best interest,\u201d Elliott representatives told me when we spoke by phone. The current government, notorious for its populist tilt, has vowed never to pay the likes of Elliott. Argentine partisans bristle at the idea of \u201crepayment in full,\u201d which they feel is unfair: it\u2019s not as though Elliott is asking only to recoup its losses; it wants more than it ever paid for those bonds, plus years of accrued interest. Elliott, in turn, insists that dollar amounts aren\u2019t what this is about, since Argentina refuses to pay them anything at all, at this point.\n\nThese hard-fought and inconclusive disputes define the sovereign-debt world, where there are no firm rules of engagement. Countries cannot declare bankruptcy like individuals or corporations can, so there\u2019s no way for them to expunge unpayable debt. Private creditors can seek recourse in court, but even if they win in courts outside the debtor countries they generally cannot enforce any judgments, because there\u2019s no way for foreign judges to compel another country to pay. At best, they can pester and prod the sovereign toward a settlement.\n\n\u201cThe entire battle over the meaning of sovereign debt as a contract is over enforcement,\u201d Anna Gelpern, a law professor at Georgetown and a fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, told me. \u201cEven if Argentina disregards a court order, the goal is to make it more expensive for a sovereign like Argentina to live the economic life of a sovereign in the global economy. How well can you function as a country if the minute you stick your nose outside your borders you have to go to court?\u201d she said, alluding to the impounded boat, among other things.\n\nLater this spring, yet another issue in the high drama between Elliott and Argentina is up for the Supreme Court\u2019s consideration\u2014and it may even be more important than the substance of Monday\u2019s oral arguments about Argentina\u2019s assets. Argentina is asking the Court to consider a lower court\u2019s ruling on an obscure clause in sovereign-bond contracts, generally called pari passu. The clause\u2014Latin for \u201cin equal step\u201d\u2014is famously ambiguous. Some say it means that a debtor can\u2019t give preference to one class of creditor over another; others say it means that a debtor can\u2019t make individual payments on a loan unless it\u2019s current on all payments under that loan. Everyone basically ignored the clause until the late nineties, when Elliott made what at the time was an unconventional case in its lawsuit against Peru over the country\u2019s debt. Elliott argued, in essence, that the pari-passu clause means that if a debtor makes a payment to some of its creditors on restructured bonds, the creditors who haven\u2019t agreed to the terms of the restructuring must also be paid, and they must be paid what they\u2019re owed under their initial agreement with the sovereign. The court agreed with Elliott\u2019s interpretation and Peru eventually settled, though the Belgian parliament later passed a law nullifying the ruling. (Elliott maintains that it\u2019s never made an argument about the broader meaning of pari passu, saying that it\u2019s proffered only specific readings of the particular terms of its contracts with Peru and Argentina.)\n\nIn 2012, a federal judge in New York was also persuaded by Elliott\u2019s pari-passu argument\u2014and took it a step further. Argentina generally pays bondholders through their trustee, the Bank of New York. The judge said that the Bank of New York would be held in contempt of court if it made payments to those bondholders without Argentina paying back Elliott. Argentina might flout a federal ruling, but the Bank of New York would not. (The decision was later upheld by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which has stayed the ruling while Argentina appeals to the Supreme Court. Argentina has been making payments on the restructured bonds all the while.)\n\nNow Argentina is asking the Supreme Court to weigh in, in the hope that it will overturn the lower courts\u2019 decisions. Understandably, the creditors who agreed to the restructuring deals fear that Elliott\u2019s challenge will disrupt the payments they\u2019ve been receiving ever since they came to an agreement with Argentina.\n\nMore broadly, the resolution of the pari-passu question could forever change how sovereign-debt restructurings work. Until now, creditors have held out on accepting restructured-debt deals at their own risk: they could amass astonishing sums in sovereign I.O.U.s, but there was never a guarantee that they\u2019d be paid. This is where the so-called holdouts and the other creditors typically part ways. The holdouts take their chances, while the other creditors agree to be repaid part of what they\u2019re owed (a \u201chaircut,\u201d as it\u2019s called). If courts can insure that holdouts get to block payments on restructured bonds\u2014unless they themselves are paid, in full, at the same time\u2014why would other creditors accept a discounted rate of repayment? Creditors agree to be paid back at a discount only because that agreement provides certainty they\u2019ll be repaid something. Now there\u2019s no longer such certainty. This worries the governments of the United States, Mexico, France, and Brazil; each has filed an amicus brief in support of Argentina\u2019s petition, with some requesting that the Supreme Court take up, and reverse, the Second Circuit\u2019s ruling.\n\nThis concern is widely held, but it is not exactly a consensus position. According to Charles Blitzer (we are not related), a former senior staffer at the I.M.F., most bondholders participate in a restructuring agreement if, he said, \u201cit\u2019s deemed a fair offer and they expect everyone else is going in.\u201d Holdouts, on the other hand, want to be the last creditor to settle; by then, a country might accede to a higher rate of repayment just to clear away stragglers.\n\nMoreover, Bl", "base_doc": " Monday, the government of Argentina presented oral arguments in a Supreme Court case that is expected to determine whether Elliott can force banks to turn over information on the whereabouts of some Argentine assets. If Elliott knows where Argentina is stashing assets, it can tie them up in order to pressure the country into handing over what Elliott claims it is due.\n\nElliott is sometimes called a \u201cvulture fund,\u201d an unflattering term for funds that buy up the government debt of ailing countries in the form of bonds purchased at a fraction of their face value. Sometimes, the country has already defaulted on these bonds. In other cases, the country is on the verge of default. Either way, when it fails to pay up at the appointed time, the fund sues for the full value of the bonds plus past-due interest, which can amount to huge windfalls on the initial investments. One of Elliott\u2019s earliest forays into sovereign debt was in 1996, when it bought $20.7 million of Peru\u2019s debt at a discount, for $11.4 million, and then took the country to court to demand full repayment, eventually walking away with fifty-eight million dollars, according to an article in Cond\u00e9 Nast Portfolio. Elliott is not the only fund to do this sort of thing (and distressed debt represents only a small fraction of its dealings). Other so-called vulture funds have bought old loans\u2014for example, a multimillion-dollar loan issued to Zambia for the construction of roads, in the seventies\u2014that were collecting dust on the neglected books of unstable or impoverished governments, and then sued for repayment when the debtor country\u2019s finances started to improve. By then, the debtor country could, ostensibly, afford to repay part of what it owed; it\u2019s important to reconcile with existing creditors if a country wants to borrow more money in the international markets. Often, but not always, lawsuits end up in U.S. courts, since sovereigns issue their debt on the New York market and agree to submit to the jurisdiction of federal courts applying New York law.\n\nArgentina is a special case, because the amount of money involved is enormous, and Argentina refuses to pay back some creditors. (The government says, in effect, that the cost of repayment is too steep, though Elliott and other creditors claim otherwise.) Just before Argentina defaulted on its debt, in 2001, the government devalued its currency; this was painful at first, but eventually the cheaper currency, and a global commodities boom, helped the government to improve its finances. During that period, Argentina begrudgingly made two deals, in 2005 and 2010, to restructure its private debt and give creditors a portion of what they were owed, which approximately ninety-two per cent of private creditors eventually accepted. But about eight per cent of creditors, including Elliott, have rejected those deals and pushed for a better one. Among them are hedge funds and several thousand small-time Italian retail bondholders.\n\nElliott has been more aggressive than the rest in the pursuit of its money. \u201cA group like Elliott are the only guys that can do this,\u201d Hans Humes, the chairman of a hedge fund called Greylock Capital and the former head of the Global Committee of Argentine Bondholders, said. Elliott is a twenty-billion-dollar fund; it can afford to be brazen.\n\nAs Argentina has wrangled with creditors, it has also struggled to gain access to capital markets. When Argentina does borrow money, it\u2019s often at a high interest rate. This comes at a time when Argentina\u2019s growth has stalled amid a drop in commodities prices worldwide and nagging inflation at home. \u201cSettling all of its outstanding disputes is in Argentina\u2019s best interest,\u201d Elliott representatives told me when we spoke by phone. The current government, notorious for its populist tilt, has vowed never to pay the likes of Elliott. Argentine partisans bristle at the idea of \u201crepayment in full,\u201d which they feel is unfair: it\u2019s not as though Elliott is asking only to recoup its losses; it wants more than it ever paid for those bonds, plus years of accrued interest. Elliott, in turn, insists that dollar amounts aren\u2019t what this is about, since Argentina refuses to pay them anything at all, at this point.\n\nThese hard-fought and inconclusive disputes define the sovereign-debt world, where there are no firm rules of engagement. Countries cannot declare bankruptcy like individuals or corporations can, so there\u2019s no way for them to expunge unpayable debt. Private creditors can seek recourse in court, but even if they win in courts outside the debtor countries they generally cannot enforce any judgments, because there\u2019s no way for foreign judges to compel another country to pay. At best, they can pester and prod the sovereign toward a settlement.\n\n\u201cThe entire battle over the meaning of sovereign debt as a contract is over enforcement,\u201d Anna Gelpern, a law professor at Georgetown and a fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, told me. \u201cEven if Argentina disregards a court order, the goal is to make it more expensive for a sovereign like Argentina to live the economic life of a sovereign in the global economy. How well can you function as a country if the minute you stick your nose outside your borders you have to go to court?\u201d she said, alluding to the impounded boat, among other things.\n\nLater this spring, yet another issue in the high drama between Elliott and Argentina is up for the Supreme Court\u2019s consideration\u2014and it may even be more important than the substance of Monday\u2019s oral arguments about Argentina\u2019s assets. Argentina is asking the Court to consider a lower court\u2019s ruling on an obscure clause in sovereign-bond contracts, generally called pari passu. The clause\u2014Latin for \u201cin equal step\u201d\u2014is famously ambiguous. Some say it means that a debtor can\u2019t give preference to one class of creditor over another; others say it means that a debtor can\u2019t make individual payments on a loan unless it\u2019s current on all payments under that loan. Everyone basically ignored the clause until the late nineties, when Elliott made what at the time was an unconventional case in its lawsuit against Peru over the country\u2019s debt. Elliott argued, in essence, that the pari-passu clause means that if a debtor makes a payment to some of its creditors on restructured bonds, the creditors who haven\u2019t agreed to the terms of the restructuring must also be paid, and they must be paid what they\u2019re owed under their initial agreement with the sovereign. The court agreed with Elliott\u2019s interpretation and Peru eventually settled, though the Belgian parliament later passed a law nullifying the ruling. (Elliott maintains that it\u2019s never made an argument about the broader meaning of pari passu, saying that it\u2019s proffered only specific readings of the particular terms of its contracts with Peru and Argentina.)\n\nIn 2012, a federal judge in New York was also persuaded by Elliott\u2019s pari-passu argument\u2014and took it a step further. Argentina generally pays bondholders through their trustee, the Bank of New York. The judge said that the Bank of New York would be held in contempt of court if it made payments to those bondholders without Argentina paying back Elliott. Argentina might flout a federal ruling, but the Bank of New York would not. (The decision was later upheld by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which has stayed the ruling while Argentina appeals to the Supreme Court. Argentina has been making payments on the restructured bonds all the while.)\n\nNow Argentina is asking the Supreme Court to weigh in, in the hope that it will overturn the lower courts\u2019 decisions. Understandably, the creditors who agreed to the restructuring deals fear that Elliott\u2019s challenge will disrupt the payments they\u2019ve been receiving ever since they came to an agreement with Argentina.\n\nMore broadly, the resolution of the pari-passu question could forever change how sovereign-debt restructurings work. Until now, creditors have held out on accepting restructured-debt deals at their own risk: they could amass astonishing sums in sovereign I.O.U.s, but there was never a guarantee that they\u2019d be paid. This is where the so-called holdouts and the other creditors typically part ways. The holdouts take their chances, while the other creditors agree to be repaid part of what they\u2019re owed (a \u201chaircut,\u201d as it\u2019s called). If courts can insure that holdouts get to block payments on restructured bonds\u2014unless they themselves are paid, in full, at the same time\u2014why would other creditors accept a discounted rate of repayment? Creditors agree to be paid back at a discount only because that agreement provides certainty they\u2019ll be repaid something. Now there\u2019s no longer such certainty. This worries the governments of the United States, Mexico, France, and Brazil; each has filed an amicus brief in support of Argentina\u2019s petition, with some requesting that the Supreme Court take up, and reverse, the Second Circuit\u2019s ruling.\n\nThis concern is widely held, but it is not exactly a consensus position. According to Charles Blitzer (we are not related), a former senior staffer at the I.M.F., most bondholders participate in a restructuring agreement if, he said, \u201cit\u2019s deemed a fair offer and they expect everyone else is going in.\u201d Holdouts, on the other hand, want to be the last creditor to settle; by then, a country might accede to a higher rate of repayment just to clear away stragglers.\n\nMoreover, Blitzer and Hans Humes, of Greylock, voice an argument that Elliott representatives made to me as well.

From their point of view, they looked at dozens of homes for sale in Highland Park or Eagle Rock, dutifully attending open houses.\u00a0They have competed time after time, pouring their hearts out in charming \"I love your house and we are the cute couple you should pick to buy it\" letters, scraping together every dime they can, revealing all their financial secrets to people they've never met and probably never will. And then, the 13th or 23rd time they go through this, they win!\n\nThey get to buy a house! Now what?\n\nNow they do inspections and, oh my! This house needs work! It costs more than anyone they are related to \u2014 anyone they've ever known \u2014 has ever paid and it's not perfect! Not only that, this crazy market has been going up way too long and they just know that the minute they close escrow, the crash will happen and they will be stuck with an overpriced turkey that still needs work. Yikes! They have listened to their friends and reluctantly to Uncle Joe the accountant who bought his last house in 1982, and they are beginning to think the family and friends might be right\u2014they are being chumps and they'd better get out while they can.\n\nBut they have a buyers' agent who reassures them that even though the house was sold as-is, even though the homeowners provided a general inspection and even a chimney and sewer inspection that revealed these issues, they can still ask for credits and repairs and negotiate the price down.\n\nWhat the seller may choose to do about the requests is anyone's guess \u2014 but often they say no, or maybe they'll negotiate a little bit. Now the ball is back in the buyer's court. What next?\n\nGeneral thoughts: you can say yes, no, or negotiate somewhere between. But if this was a multiple offer situation, there is a good chance the seller has a backup offer, maybe even higher than yours, just waiting for you to back out. Or if you just give up and back out, often the property ends up selling for even more than you were willing to pay. We had that happen a few times in the last year, and sometimes it was a very significant amount of money.\n\nAsk yourself if what you are feeling about this house is really your fear talking. After all, this is a big financial step for you\u2014it might be the biggest step you've ever taken and you don't want to make a mistake. If you are asking all your friends and family what you should do, remember that the best advice they can give you from their perspective is to not take the step\u2014 because that is the \"safe\" choice. But in a couple of years when you still are renting an apartment and prices have continued to go up, will it really have been the safest path?\n\nSome background: this crazy market has been recovering from the Great Recession for a good 5 to 8 years depending on where you are and what you define as \"The Bottom.\" The majority of buyers have only been aware of it for about 4 years, when the number of homes on the market around my 'hood in Northeast Los Angeles dropped to almost nothing and prices started spiking up. For about the last 3 years, some people (many of them smart savvy Realtors) have said that this market is unsustainable and prices will soon level off\u2014possibly even go down!\n\nSuggestion #1: Look at what investors are doing. The beginning of the Renaissance of Highland Park began in 2009 when it truly was the bottom and investors came in and bought crummy thrashed foreclosures for cash, fixed them up with some style so that the people who could get a loan (if only from the Bank of Mom & Dad) would be attracted by the good looks and affordable prices and buy them\u2014and the investor made a good profit. When the great deals got scooped up after a few years, eventually most investors moved on to higher priced neighborhoods where the profit margins were even higher again. Look at what's going on now, though\u2014the investors have come back! Now NELA is where they can make a profit.\n\nMany buyers today say that investors have scooped up all the \"deals\" and they cannot afford to buy the $million-plus flips that they produce. My question is, why didn't you buy the fixer when it was affordable and fix it up yourself? I have often heard buyers say that that is what they would like to do, but the investor went in and scooped up the property for themselves. In many cases, that is just not so. Here are the facts: in the 90041 Eagle Rock zip code, there were 34 $million + sales in 2016. Of them, 19 were flips. Of them, 12 were listed in the MLS, they were on the market an average of 69 days, and they sold for an average price of $645,000, which was slightly under the average asking price. And they sold fixed up for an average of $1,184,000 in 20 days on the market. That's about a $500,000 gross profit. Figuring in maybe $350,000 in renovation and sales costs, you have a net profit of $150,000. I'm guessing on costs, by the way.\n\nBut let's assume you never wanted to buy a fixer. The other interesting lesson to learn from where the investors are buying is that they think Northeast Los Angeles can sustain their investment/profit formula. Remember, they have a lot of risk\u2014they generally pay cash (often with expensive hard-money loans), often self-fund the renovation, and generally take several months to complete the project. They do not want to risk so much money and time and then see the market go away, so if they have faith in the future market, that's a good sign.\n\nSuggestion #2: Don't be confused about what you are really buying. Fix-it items on a house are just that, fixes. What is really important is the location, the lifestyle it offers you, the amenities nearby. I know my friends in the Midwest think our market is crazy\u2014and they thought so 34 years ago when we bought our first house in Eagle Rock for $95,000. That particular house is probably worth $750,000 today, while the same house in Springfield, Missouri might be worth $125,000 today, maybe not that much. If the price of the home is that important or necessary to you, by all means, move to a less expensive area.\n\nKeep in mind that real estate is primarily a long-term investment. If you are planning to move on in 2 years, maybe you should rent. But if you have the money and it seems like the right next step in your life, don't let your fears hold you back.\n\nThe 3 Ps of Increasing your Home\u2019s Resale Value\nHow to Be the Most Successful Seller\n\nRelated Posts\n<|endoftext|>Partha Pratim Majumder was the mother of the musician Bappa Mazumder, music composer Partha Sharothi Mojumdar and pantomime artist Majumder.<|endoftext|>How to make mobile devices friendly for elderly individuals?\n\nMobile devices and elderly individuals\n\nPeople and their lifestyle have remarkably changed over the last couple of decades.

To offer everything up to Isvara.\u00a0 What is Isvara?\u00a0 Isvara is the manifestation of the energy of the universe which you can personally relate to.\u00a0 Whatever that may be for you.\u00a0 The key here is that it is a manifestation of the whole and that there is a possibility for a personal connection.\u00a0 This sutra is describing the devotion of bhakti yoga, the dedication of karma yoga.\u00a0 The act of offering up, of surrendering doership, of recognising that we are a part of something bigger.\u00a0 It is not surrender in the sense of quitting.\n\nThe word pranidhana\u00a0 can be broken down into components.\n\npra:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 completely, in front.\n\nni: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 down\n\ndha: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 to place\n\ndhana:\u00a0 placing, holding\n\n\nTo place ourselves completely down in front of that manifestation of the universe we personally relate to.\n\nWe are making ourselves humble, we are removing our sense of self importance and beginning the long process of watching the ego dissolve.

At the end of each area, you need to defeat a boss in order to proceed to the next area.\n\n Robo Army gameplay (Neo Geo)\n\n There is no character selection in Robo Army : Player 1 controls Maxima and Player 2 controls Rocky.

Feynman\u2019s attitudes towards science and math. I would like to bring back Feynman\u2019s memory. Feynman held interesting opinions about how scientists are treated in our society. It seemed to be a sore point with him.\n\nFeynman has written many times about how our culture appears to respect the artist more than the scientist. It seems to me that this was a source of constant frustration to him. If true, should we be surprised?\n\nConsider the goals of the artist versus those of the scientist.\n\nThe artist seeks to create feelings in those who view his or her art. There may also be an intellectual connection to the art, but the main purpose of art is how it makes you feel.\n\nThe scientist seeks to learn how nature works. Science is far more intellectual than emotional. Science is often supported for its practical benefits. There is a practical connection, but for most people not an emotional one.\n\nGreat art can make you feel happy, uplifted, centered, curious and validated.\n\nIt is perhaps surprising that great science can bring these feelings also. Generally it is only scientists who experience these feelings from science. Most people have a very limited emotional connection to science.\n\nAs a scientist, I am one of those people who connects emotionally to science. More precisely, I connect emotionally to nature and natural law. The encompassing power and beauty of natural law is stunning to me.\n\nLet\u2019s get back to Feynman. As one of the leading physicists of his day, he had to root out how nature behaves at a very fundamental level. Feynman won his Nobel Prize for the development of the first quantum field theory, which is a law of nature that includes the electromagnetic force (electricity and magnetism). This was a major achievement, because such theories had to explain exotic concepts such as the \u201cwave-particle duality\u201d and the \u201cequivalence of mass and energy\u201d (relativity theory). The \u201cexplanation\u201d was fully quantitative, and\u00a0 produced precise numbers that agreed with laboratory measurements for specific experiments. This quantitative aspect is most impressive, and requires the use of mathematical concepts that are quite advanced and beyond the grasp of us \u201cmere mortals\u201d.\n\nFeynman created models in his head of how the math and the physical concepts worked together to create natural law. His abilities in this regard were genius. In the end, though, he could not explain what he developed. This is not to his detriment. Such explanation is beyond the realm of science, because we have no measurements that tell us why nature is as it is. Without data, the scientific method has no application.\n\nBack to emotion. It is not surprising that what is beyond our grasp is less popular than what we understand. Artists create feelings in us, which becomes our connection to the artist. Scientists tend to create feelings in only a few of us: other scientists. Non-scientists might be amazed, or perhaps repulsed, by what scientists create. The direct emotional connection is lacking, so scientists are naturally less popular than artists.\n\nI urge you to go beyond the science and contemplate natural law directly. Contemplate your place in a physical universe that defines who you are (physically), how long you can live, and what you must do to survive. Contemplate the regularity and predictability of nature and what the means to you. Contemplate the universal nature of physical law: it is the same here, as it is across the street, as it is across the universe. It is so for all time.\n\nHow do you feel when you contemplate the majesty of physical law?<|endoftext|>Advanced search\n\nTo go back to university to do a Masters/PhD\n\n(44 Posts)\npurpleangel17 Tue 22-Aug-17 20:59:21\n\nI am a single mum to two girls aged 8 and 9.

Apart from confirming names the listing does not mention anything about the handsets. But as the handsets surfacing internet we might be so closer to launch date for iQOO 3 and it shouldn\u2019t be so long before we get more details as we already know that \u201cNew vivo V1955A with 55w charger revealed in TENAA listing\u201d Which is the fastest charger ever upto now.\n\niQOO Nex 3\n\nThe exact identity of the handset isn\u2019t known just yet, but it could be the Snapdragon 865 variant of the NEX 3 5G. It flaunts a 6.89-inch full HD+ display with 1,080 \u00d7 2,256 pixels resolution and will be available in two models: 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB storage. The Vivo V1950A is likely to run on Android 10 out of the box. It measures 167.44 x 76.14 x 9.4mm and weighs 219.5 grams. It will have no physical buttons for the volume rocker and power on/off and will rely on squeeze-based gestures.\n\nVivo 1995A triple camera\n\nThe TENAA listing has renders of the phone, revealing its design that includes a curved edge display and no notch.

The Xenophyophores of the Mariana Trench\u2014the largest single-celled organisms in existence.\n\nTheir existence was confirmed during a recent survey conducted by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and the National Geographic Society along the Sirena Deep section of the trench. They had previously only been found as deep as 4 miles, though they are prevalent on many of the ocean's abyssal plains.\n\nXenophyophores are marine protozoans. They feed by sifting through sediments on the sea floor, excreting a slimy substance as they move along. With populations reaching densities of 2,000 individuals in a 100 square meter area, the slime carpet can resemble Zerg Creep. And since these animals continually root through sediment, they tend to absorb massive quantities of lead, uranium and mercury\u2014so no, they aren't edible.

Even if you can\u2019 do\u00a0all of them, hopefully one will suit you. If not, just modify a\u00a0technique to best suit your ability.\n\n\n\n\nWhen you have a chronic disease, it is important to properly deal with stress. When done correctly, these simple stress relievers open up natural relaxation responses that can help improve your mood and make you feel more at ease.\n\nThe National Institutes of Health (NIH)\u00a0considers relaxation exercises to be safe for most people. However, just like with exercise routines, people with serious physical health problems such as ALS\u00a0should discuss the techniques with their healthcare provider before starting a relaxation routine.\n\nThere are many viable techniques for relaxing. These include deep breathing exercises, self-hypnosis, and guided imagery. Each relaxation technique goal is to produce a natural reaction from the body. This should include: lower blood pressure, slower breathing, and a sense of well-being.\n\nWe found five easy relaxation exercises that are simple enough for most people to do in a chair or while lying in bed.\n\nThe first two relaxation tips\u00a0come from Harvard University\u00a0and the last three are from the University of Michigan.\n\n\nWhile sitting comfortably, take a few slow deep breaths and quietly repeat to yourself, \u201cI am\u201d as you breathe in and, \u201cat peace\u201d as you breathe out. Repeat slowly two or three times. Then, feel your entire body relax into the support of your chair.\n\nRaise eyebrows up and tense the muscles across the forehead and scalp. Feel the tension build and hold. Take a deep breath. As you exhale say \u201crelax\u201d while letting the tension leave your body.\n\n\nObserve your abdomen rising and falling with each breath. Inhale and press your navel toward the spine then tense your abdomen. Feel the tension build and hold it. Take in a deep breath. As you exhale say \u201crelax,\u201d and let the tension leave you.\n\nHere\u2019s a PDF with more relaxation techniques from the University of Michigan.\n\nThe NIH recognizes the relaxation response as having broad health benefits including the reduction of pain and restoration of sleep. In addition, research on the relaxation response has shown that this simple technique can increase energy and decrease fatigue. It can increase motivation, productivity, and improve decision-making ability, too. The relaxation response lowers stress hormone levels and lowers blood pressure.\n\nThe relaxation response is your personal ability to make your body release chemicals and brain signals that make your muscles and organs slow down and increase blood flow to the brain.

It was yummy.\n\nbuy Seroquel pay cod\n\nTonight, I had to get 2 tomatoes since I had none left, 2 more Crimini mushrooms to augment the two from last night\u2019s dinner, and bought some Brussels Sprouts to add as a side by roasting them.\n\nThe big changes to the dish were the mushrooms and the addition of herbs, along with the salt/pepper from before.\n\nBefore, I had a sliced, pealed peach with cream, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar Ala a peaches and cream pie, though not cooked, nor with a crust, delish in this way as well.\n\nTonight, I did another pealed peach, though just sliced with sugar as I often have it, and it was all good. However, this time having the dish with the herbs and the mushrooms, it took on a more complex flavor as I used Thyme, Oregano, Rosemary, and ground Sage/Fennel Seeds to round out the dish, giving it a more earthy flavor (thanks to the mushrooms).\n\nTo do this dish, I simply prepped everything before hand, and just added to the pan, a stainless steel chicken fryer I have in this case. Began the onions on medium high with a good drizzle of olive oil to get going and then added the meat and let it go for a minute or two, once the onions begin to sizzle some as the pan heats up and go translucent. Gradually reducing the heat to medium, medium low to saut\u00e9 while the pasta cooks, adding the ingredients as I mentioned above.\n\nWhen the pasta was done, I skimmed it out of the pasta water into the pan to stir in with the sauce along with some grated Parmesan cheese and then served with roasted Brussels Sprouts as a side.\n\nTo do the Brussels Sprouts, I lightly trimmed the stem, and then cut through said stem lengthwise into halves, and tossed in a bowl with olive oil, salt/pepper. Once tossed, I put into a screaming hot cast iron skillet that had been heating on the stove, flipping onto their cut sides and then toss the whole pan under a hot broiler oven to broil for about 6 minutes until they begin to char.\n\nDrizzle with balsamic vinegar and you ready to eat.\n\nWashed it all down with the last of the white wine I had and it was all delicious.\n\nbuy Seroquel with no prescription\nDelicious, no?\n\n\nbuy Seroquel fed ex\n\n\nonline pharmacy SeroquelSharpening one\u2019s knives is something that should be done every so often to maintain their sharpness, or they become dull and become a danger to the user, as well as a frustration when they can\u2019t slice through a tomato like they should, which is easily and like buttah.\n\nAnd so it was with my most oft used knives, two chef\u2019s knives, and 3 utility knives. The yellow knife is a Kuhn Rikon, an inexpensive knife made in Germany. I actually have two of them, this yellow one, and a red one. I got the red one the other night when I had to slice up tomatoes, and found it not cutting worth a damn.\n\nSo I got out my late father\u2019s sharpening stone, a vintage one he\u2019d bought at some garage sale abut 40 years ago. I have NO idea how old it actually is, but it\u2019s an oldie nonetheless. He had retaped the box, using strapping tape he had on hand, and over time, it got sticky and gross, so I covered it up with fresh packing tape I had on hand last year. No more stickiness.\n\nThen I proceeded to sharpen all my most oft used knives, including the black handled Henkels utility knife, and both chef\u2019s knives (both 8\u2033 jobs), one a Gerber I\u2019ve had for almost 2 decades, and my late mother\u2019s Chicago model that she bought many years ago and I got after she died. It replaced a semi good Chef\u2019s Choice I\u2019d gotten for Christmas one year that was OK, but nothing like the Gerber, which I love.\n\nNow, if I\u2019ve done it right, all of them should now be sharp.\n\nI\u2019ll know when I use them next at some point this week when I fix diner.\n\nbuy Seroquel with a visa\n\nbuy online Seroquel\n\nThere is something wonderful about cooking, even if it\u2019s something as simple as cooking bacon on the stove.\n\nThat is what I did this morning, placing a vintage Le Creuset skillet on the burner, turning it on and placing the 3 pieces into it while still cold.\n\nI usually start at medium high heat, and turn it down to medium once the bacon has begun to sizzle and let it cook at a slower, leisurely pace, flipping each piece about every minute until nicely browned, all the while watching it render its fat into the pan. It is this act of watching the bacon while it sizzles in the pan is one reason why I love to cook, even if for myself. There is nothing better than a home cooked meal, and I love the process that all that entails, even if something this simple.\n\nI don\u2019t like my bacon charred, all I get is a semi burnt taste to it, not good in my view. I like my bacon to be slightly pliable, but still has a crispness to it to an extent, and yet still tastes like bacon.\n\nI saved the bacon grease to reuse for something else later by finding an empty metal can and labeling it as such before pouring the grease in and stuffing it in the freezer.\n\nIt was accompanied by an apple fritter bought from the store the previous evening for breakfast this morning.\n\n\nSeroquel without rx\n\nI just need to share a dish I came up on my own, no recipe, or anything but there is one now\u2026\n\nIt all came about earlier today when I commented on a post over on the Kitchn whereby Faith Durand shared an appetizer that was a tad on the swanky side for a wedding she catered for.

It was yummy.\n\nbuy Seroquel pay cod\n\nTonight, I had to get 2 tomatoes since I had none left, 2 more Crimini mushrooms to augment the two from last night\u2019s dinner, and bought some Brussels Sprouts to add as a side by roasting them.\n\nThe big changes to the dish were the mushrooms and the addition of herbs, along with the salt/pepper from before.\n\nBefore, I had a sliced, pealed peach with cream, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar Ala a peaches and cream pie, though not cooked, nor with a crust, delish in this way as well.\n\nTonight, I did another pealed peach, though just sliced with sugar as I often have it, and it was all good. However, this time having the dish with the herbs and the mushrooms, it took on a more complex flavor as I used Thyme, Oregano, Rosemary, and ground Sage/Fennel Seeds to round out the dish, giving it a more earthy flavor (thanks to the mushrooms).\n\nTo do this dish, I simply prepped everything before hand, and just added to the pan, a stainless steel chicken fryer I have in this case. Began the onions on medium high with a good drizzle of olive oil to get going and then added the meat and let it go for a minute or two, once the onions begin to sizzle some as the pan heats up and go translucent. Gradually reducing the heat to medium, medium low to saut\u00e9 while the pasta cooks, adding the ingredients as I mentioned above.\n\nWhen the pasta was done, I skimmed it out of the pasta water into the pan to stir in with the sauce along with some grated Parmesan cheese and then served with roasted Brussels Sprouts as a side.\n\nTo do the Brussels Sprouts, I lightly trimmed the stem, and then cut through said stem lengthwise into halves, and tossed in a bowl with olive oil, salt/pepper. Once tossed, I put into a screaming hot cast iron skillet that had been heating on the stove, flipping onto their cut sides and then toss the whole pan under a hot broiler oven to broil for about 6 minutes until they begin to char.\n\nDrizzle with balsamic vinegar and you ready to eat.\n\nWashed it all down with the last of the white wine I had and it was all delicious.\n\nbuy Seroquel with no prescription\nDelicious, no?\n\n\nbuy Seroquel fed ex\n\n\nonline pharmacy SeroquelSharpening one\u2019s knives is something that should be done every so often to maintain their sharpness, or they become dull and become a danger to the user, as well as a frustration when they can\u2019t slice through a tomato like they should, which is easily and like buttah.\n\nAnd so it was with my most oft used knives, two chef\u2019s knives, and 3 utility knives. The yellow knife is a Kuhn Rikon, an inexpensive knife made in Germany. I actually have two of them, this yellow one, and a red one. I got the red one the other night when I had to slice up tomatoes, and found it not cutting worth a damn.\n\nSo I got out my late father\u2019s sharpening stone, a vintage one he\u2019d bought at some garage sale abut 40 years ago. I have NO idea how old it actually is, but it\u2019s an oldie nonetheless. He had retaped the box, using strapping tape he had on hand, and over time, it got sticky and gross, so I covered it up with fresh packing tape I had on hand last year. No more stickiness.\n\nThen I proceeded to sharpen all my most oft used knives, including the black handled Henkels utility knife, and both chef\u2019s knives (both 8\u2033 jobs), one a Gerber I\u2019ve had for almost 2 decades, and my late mother\u2019s Chicago model that she bought many years ago and I got after she died. It replaced a semi good Chef\u2019s Choice I\u2019d gotten for Christmas one year that was OK, but nothing like the Gerber, which I love.\n\nNow, if I\u2019ve done it right, all of them should now be sharp.\n\nI\u2019ll know when I use them next at some point this week when I fix diner.\n\nbuy Seroquel with a visa\n\nbuy online Seroquel\n\nThere is something wonderful about cooking, even if it\u2019s something as simple as cooking bacon on the stove.\n\nThat is what I did this morning, placing a vintage Le Creuset skillet on the burner, turning it on and placing the 3 pieces into it while still cold.\n\nI usually start at medium high heat, and turn it down to medium once the bacon has begun to sizzle and let it cook at a slower, leisurely pace, flipping each piece about every minute until nicely browned, all the while watching it render its fat into the pan. It is this act of watching the bacon while it sizzles in the pan is one reason why I love to cook, even if for myself. There is nothing better than a home cooked meal, and I love the process that all that entails, even if something this simple.\n\nI don\u2019t like my bacon charred, all I get is a semi burnt taste to it, not good in my view. I like my bacon to be slightly pliable, but still has a crispness to it to an extent, and yet still tastes like bacon.\n\nI saved the bacon grease to reuse for something else later by finding an empty metal can and labeling it as such before pouring the grease in and stuffing it in the freezer.\n\nIt was accompanied by an apple fritter bought from the store the previous evening for breakfast this morning.\n\n\nSeroquel without rx\n\nI just need to share a dish I came up on my own, no recipe, or anything but there is one now\u2026\n\nIt all came about earlier today when I commented on a post over on the Kitchn whereby Faith Durand shared an appetizer that was a tad on the swanky side for a wedding she catered for.

-{"pt_doc": "France withdrew before the tournament, the Cornwall (Great Britain) left, playing Australasia.<|endoftext|>, MA\n\nThe fixation on unimodal approaches to management of \u201csleep apnea\u201d defies biological reality. Perhaps the incredible success of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for obstructive sleep apnea is at least partially to blame, but the increasing evidence for sleep apnea phenotypes have not resulted in a meaningful translation to patient care. Taking obstructive sleep apnea, studies compare CPAP with an oral appliance, or with weight loss, or placebo, depending on the precise scientific question and the desire to show \u201cequivalence\u201d or at least clinical effectiveness (e.g., hypoglossal nerve stimulation, Provent) for aid to marketing and FDA approval.1\n\nHowever, sleep apnea in a wider sense is the end result of interactive pathophysiological processes. These include sleep fragmentation propensity, upper airway obstruction, and respiratory chemoreflex under- or over-responsiveness.2,3 Then why is it that there is so little data on combination therapies? Was there ever a clinical trial of myocardial infarction or congestive heart failure comparing unimodal therapies? Typically a pathophysiology-driven \u201cbasic cocktail\u201d is tested against a new add-on. The need for improved management strategies for sleep apnea syndromes is evident\u2014not more than 50% compliance/adherence for an apparently gold standard treatment that almost always shows sleep laboratory effectiveness, in patients seeking help for debilitating symptoms, should raise the possibility that maybe our gold is a metal of lesser worth. The clinical challenge is even greater in those with central or complex apnea and hypoventilation syndromes, where advanced modes of ventilation are being evaluated as stand-alone therapies, such as adaptive ventilation in congestive heart failure-associated periodic breathing.4 If there is one condition where sleep fragmentation, obstructive elements, and respiratory decontrol interact, it is in heart failure patients.\n\nThe paper by Chaudhuri et al.5 in this issue of the journal is an important one. Though not randomized, it seems to reasonably support the beneficial effect of supplemental oxygen in improving sleep-respiration in those with significant central sleep apnea, using a threshold of a central apnea index \u2265 5/hour of sleep. The delay in response is intriguing and likely reflects an interaction of sleep state effects (REM, stable NREM rebound) and direct biological effects of oxygen, including plausible changes in redox state. Looking closely at the data shows that stage N1 remains high, and some important information about the characteristics of the \u201coptimal response\u201d are missing (duration, sleep stage, and state). The definition of the optimal response also leaves something to be desired: is getting the CAI under 5/hour really a valid biological target? Other limitations of the paper include not scoring respiratory effort related arousals and hypopneas that do not have a 50% signal reduction. During titration, getting rid of major discrete events is relatively easier than normalizing sleep-breathing, and use of the alternate criteria when supplemental oxygen is added (thus directly modifying one of the scoring tags) can overestimate efficacy. Though periodic breathing was recognized, using the 10-minute criterion (which has no specific biological basis) will exclude shorter bursts of periodic breathing that are common in those with mixed apnea and have been well described at high altitude, the quintessential chemoreflex-induced sleep apnea model.

However, the oral appliance vs. CPAP story has taken a gladiatorial color\u2014what about combined therapy, especially those who have high pressure requirements? Most centers probably offer this on a case-by-case basis, as we do, but there may be additional potential benefits of minimizing mouth breathing and preventing an oronasal mask from pushing the jaw backwards during sleep. Positive pressure + a sedative are a logical approach to the anxious patient and those with severely fragmented sleep, and a subset of patients could benefit over the long term. The sedative could also improve blood pressure dipping,6 which is frequently abnormal in sleep apnea patients. In hypoventilation syndromes and in those with pulmonary pathology affecting gas exchange such as chronic obstructive lung disease, supplemental oxygen could be a useful adjunct to bilevel ventilation by allowing targeting both CO2 and O2 end-points; adding O2 is commonly done in clinical practice, but is there an advantage to keep the saturations closer to 98% vs. 90%? The latter target results in vulnerability to significant desaturations with changes in body position, sleep stage, mask or mouth leak, and minor respiratory events.

First, the disease needs to be properly quantified. Scoring event-by-event introduces a strong bias in the direction of obstruction, as flow-limitation is common in periodic breathing sequences. The update of respiratory scoring criteria have made a real effort to aid us in characterizing central hypopneas,8 yet leave it optional\u2014why should anything considered important be optional? If it is assumed, as stated in the article, that \u201cseparation of hypopneas into central or obstructive is not clinically indicated in the majority of patients,\u201d then we are never going to accurately phenotype sleep apnea. It is likely that there was far more \u201ccentral\u201d disease both before and after treatment in these patients than that quantified by a central apnea count. Using a 10-minute threshold to tag periodic breathing minimizes the recognition of this pattern; the new criteria more readily enable identifying periodic breathing.8 The REM vs. NREM severity difference is blurred when global apnea-hypopnea or respiratory-disturbance indices are computed; NREM dominance is characteristic of strong respiratory chemoreflex effects. The bimodality of NREM sleep, where periods of stable breathing can occur during N2, can result in the premature declaration of CPAP success in NREM-dominant sleep apnea syndromes. Second, we should have greater expectations from the definition of success. In fact, the end point of success should be the same for obstruction or central sleep apnea syndromes\u2014elimination of all respiratory events including respiratory effort related arousals, normalizing sleep quality, and optimal clinical outcomes (e.g., daytime sleepiness and fatigue, blood pressure dipping). In the Chaudhuri study, stage N1 remained markedly elevated\u2014in all probability, there was significant residual sleep apnea subthreshold to the scoring criteria used. Equally possible is that these patients have an increase in sleep fragmentation propensity independent of sleep apnea, as has been noted in complex apnea9 and congestive heart failure.10 A \u201csleep stabilizer\u201d (aka sedative) would be a logical addition here.\n\nHypocapnia driven respiratory instability is the most important factor in central apnea syndromes\u2014rebreathing approaches9 and acetazolamide are logical adjuncts, even to adaptive ventilation. The sad part is that much of the above may well remain devoid of high levels of evidence\u2014there is little incentive to study these systematically, never mind the enormous cost and little return to the use of freely available generic drugs. Sedatives have been traditionally abhorrent entities in sleep apnea management. Perhaps it is time to revisit this dogma, given: (1) the availability of sedatives with acceptable impact on respiration11 (moreover, positive pressure will protect if used at the same time); (2) the recognition of the role of arousals in amplifying sleep apnea severity; (3) induction of blood pressure dipping; and (4) beneficial effects in central apnea at sea level12 and at high-altitude,13 thus a logical option as adjunctive therapy in the hyperresponsive chemoreflex syndromes. It would make clinical sense to avoid sedatives in REM-dominant obstructive sleep apnea and reserve this approach to NREM-dominant central/complex apnea.\n\nTargeting ataxic respiration such as may occur with the use of opiates, brainstem disorders, or Parkinson disease follows no simple rule, and various combinations of positive (including adaptive) pressure, O2 and CO2 modulation, and perhaps acetazolamide, may be required.\n\nHow can the field evaluate multimodality treatment options?

A novel nasal expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) device for the treatment of", "base_doc": ", MA\n\nThe fixation on unimodal approaches to management of \u201csleep apnea\u201d defies biological reality. Perhaps the incredible success of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for obstructive sleep apnea is at least partially to blame, but the increasing evidence for sleep apnea phenotypes have not resulted in a meaningful translation to patient care. Taking obstructive sleep apnea, studies compare CPAP with an oral appliance, or with weight loss, or placebo, depending on the precise scientific question and the desire to show \u201cequivalence\u201d or at least clinical effectiveness (e.g., hypoglossal nerve stimulation, Provent) for aid to marketing and FDA approval.1\n\nHowever, sleep apnea in a wider sense is the end result of interactive pathophysiological processes. These include sleep fragmentation propensity, upper airway obstruction, and respiratory chemoreflex under- or over-responsiveness.2,3 Then why is it that there is so little data on combination therapies? Was there ever a clinical trial of myocardial infarction or congestive heart failure comparing unimodal therapies? Typically a pathophysiology-driven \u201cbasic cocktail\u201d is tested against a new add-on. The need for improved management strategies for sleep apnea syndromes is evident\u2014not more than 50% compliance/adherence for an apparently gold standard treatment that almost always shows sleep laboratory effectiveness, in patients seeking help for debilitating symptoms, should raise the possibility that maybe our gold is a metal of lesser worth. The clinical challenge is even greater in those with central or complex apnea and hypoventilation syndromes, where advanced modes of ventilation are being evaluated as stand-alone therapies, such as adaptive ventilation in congestive heart failure-associated periodic breathing.4 If there is one condition where sleep fragmentation, obstructive elements, and respiratory decontrol interact, it is in heart failure patients.\n\nThe paper by Chaudhuri et al.5 in this issue of the journal is an important one. Though not randomized, it seems to reasonably support the beneficial effect of supplemental oxygen in improving sleep-respiration in those with significant central sleep apnea, using a threshold of a central apnea index \u2265 5/hour of sleep. The delay in response is intriguing and likely reflects an interaction of sleep state effects (REM, stable NREM rebound) and direct biological effects of oxygen, including plausible changes in redox state. Looking closely at the data shows that stage N1 remains high, and some important information about the characteristics of the \u201coptimal response\u201d are missing (duration, sleep stage, and state). The definition of the optimal response also leaves something to be desired: is getting the CAI under 5/hour really a valid biological target? Other limitations of the paper include not scoring respiratory effort related arousals and hypopneas that do not have a 50% signal reduction. During titration, getting rid of major discrete events is relatively easier than normalizing sleep-breathing, and use of the alternate criteria when supplemental oxygen is added (thus directly modifying one of the scoring tags) can overestimate efficacy.

Depending on the value of the boat and any special circumstances, insurance coverage for boats is often a very good idea. Here are some of the ways boat insurance can be important.\n\nWhat It Covers\n\nBoat insurance is usually purchased to cover boats with motors but can be obtained for boats without motors such as canoes and kayaks as well. Like other forms of insurance, boat insurance plans come with many different levels of coverage such as liability, medical, comprehensive and collision. Boat owners are advised to look at their situation and possibly consult an insurance agent before deciding on the amount of coverage that might be right for them. Owners should take the time to thoroughly read and understand their insurance policies so they know exactly in what ways their property is covered.\n\nWhy It\u2019s Important\n\nA boat can be a significant investment and, as with a car, that investment can easily be protected with the right insurance coverage. According to Bankrate, homeowners insurance does not cover boats in most cases. This makes it important to purchase insurance coverage tailored to the specific needs of boaters to prevent against catastrophic loss. Boat insurance can guard against financial loss if anything happens to the boat such as a collision or damage from natural causes. Boat insurance is also important because, depending on the policy, it can cover medical bills if someone is injured while boating. This is especially important if a guest is injured while on a boat and the owner is legally liable for their personal injury. Some policies cover damage due to erosion or a failed part.\n\nIt Might Be Legally Required\n\nWhile state governments often don\u2019t require individuals to carry boat insurance, some do. For example, the states of Utah and Arkansas require boat insurance in many cases. Another example would be if a boat also serves as a house. In that case, the owner may be required to carry some level of homeowners insurance on the boat. In order to use a boat in some state parks, proof of insurance may also be required. Boats that are in use for commercial purposes need to be insured to protect the company against liability and insurance may be required to license an individual boat for commercial use under state law. Commercial boat insurance policies do differ from policies for personal use, so do be aware of the purposes for which a boat will be used.\n\nWhy It Might Be Necessary\n\nWhile it is not always legally necessary to carry boat insurance, it may be required in other circumstances. Many individual marinas and boating events, for example, require owners to provide proof of boat insurance in order to dock or participate. Banks, if the boat is or will be purchased on a loan, will also usually require proof that the owner purchased boat insurance. Most boat owners will find insurance necessary, however, because they don\u2019t want to find themselves with a severely damaged, stolen or destroyed boat and no reparations.\n\nRelated Resource:\u00a010 Best Cheap Boat and Marine Insurance Companies\n\nMuch of the time, boats are significant investments and therefore having proper insurance coverage is essential. In some cases, having certain levels of coverage may be required or even legally mandated.

Nowadays, with right-wing politicians like Jim DeMint (not to mention some politicians in Japan) saying that society is crumbling because people aren't having enough kids, Challengers comes off as a subtle defense of the idea that committed relationships are about love, and that the purpose of marriage (whether straight or gay) isn't just procreation.

The end!\n\nThe uke bringing home the money while the seme does the housework: it's a nice twist on the typical partner roles in Boy's Love, which usually slavishly follow traditional ideas about male-female relationships (a bit depressingly IMHO, as if even in the fantasy world of manga, the authors just can't imagine things any other way). Little Butterfly continues the Takanaga character design formula of a cute little blonde guy and a tall dark guy, but everything else is different. Kojima, a perky, young-looking high school senior, is friends with almost everyone, but there's one guy in his class that no one really knows: the lonely, distant Nakahara. One day when the class is on a field trip, Nakahara sneaks off and tries to run away from home, but Kojima sees him and chases after him to find out what's wrong. Impressed by Kojima's persistence, Nakahara gradually opens up to him and tells Kojima about his troubled home life: his father is a cold, uncaring businessman, and his mother has a severe mental illness. What Nakahara really needs is a friend (or something). Nakahara starts spending time at Kojima's house with Kojima's family, and Kojima is there to help steer Nakahara through his crises. But this is adolescence, the time when boys are talking about girls and porn and strange feelings are fluttering through everyone's chest. One day, midway through the first volume, Nakahara surprises Kojima with a passionate kiss. \"I think I'm in love with you,\" he says.\u00a0\n\np>At first Kojima isn't sure what to think, but soon he reciprocates Nakahara's love. They snuggle together in semi-platonic sleepovers, but before too long, shirts are being pulled off and things are getting heavy. \"I don't care if it's just sympathy,\" says Nakahara. \"I told you, it's not just sympathy! I'm doing this because I want to!\" insists Kojima. As they fumble through the physical side of their relationship, they also make plans for the future, deciding to go to the same college and falling further and further in love. Little Butterfly is the classic romantic fantasy of a troubled loner who is healed by love, but even if the story is old, it's well done. Nakahara's family drama\u2014the obstacle to the relationship\u2014 is not the strong point of the manga, but the budding relationship is touching and sweet. One of the nice things about Little Butterfly is that it's not as claustrophobic and dark a worldview as some BL manga; Nakahara may have problems, but he's not a psycho, and there is a large supporting cast of sympathetic friends and family. Life can be tough, but you aren't alone in this world, seems to be the message. It's a story about friendship, love, sleepovers, and mopping up afterwards.\n\nSo Takanaga can do comedy and emo. What about rapey? She can do rapey! The Tyrant Falls in Love, the sequel to Challengers, is a spinoff following the relationship between Souichi and his out gay lab partner Tetsuhiro. Tetsuhiro has nursed an unrequited crush on Souichi for five years, the kind of thing that anyone who has ever had a hopeless crush can sympathize with. Things go very wrong (or right, depending on your tastes) when Tetsuhiro goes drinking with him and accidentally drinks an aphrodisiac, leading to sweaty, chemically assisted, nonconsensual sex with Souichi weakly protesting the whole time. Sex, in turn, eventually leads into a relationship and Takanaga's longest-running (six volumes!) manga series. Unfortunately, this is my least favorite Takanaga series. Although the crabby, rude Souichi is a total tsundere who beats up on Tetsuhiro every chance he gets, and it's kind of entertaining to see him get his comeuppance for his prejudices (he goes on a tirade when Los Angeles legalizes gay marriage), I still can't get over the squick factor of the initial rape scene. It fails the \"would I find this offensive if the characters were male and female?\" test. (I wonder, do some BL readers take a certain revenge in the way men's bodies get abused in BL, as if it's payback for the way women's bodies are abused in straight porn manga?) Aside from that, though, the art and storytelling are Takanaga's best.\n\nTakanaga has written BL about boxers (Love Round!!), demons (The Devil's Secret), and lots of other subjects and fetishes. One of my favorites is Croquis, one of the very few BL manga I can think of about a transsexual. Croquis is the story of Nagi, a femme college-age boy who works at a drag show and is saving up money to transition into a woman. He works part-time as an artist's model, where he meets Kaji, a handsome art student whose penetrating gaze makes him shiver. Nagi likes Kaji, but does Kaji only like him as a model? (Answer: no.) And how will he react when he finds out that Nagi is transitioning? Does he want Nagi to be a boy or a girl?\n\nCroquis is basically a story of self-esteem, identity and dealing with negative body-image. We soon find out that Nagi isn't necessarily one of those transsexuals who's felt like a woman in a man's body all his life: instead, his desire to become a woman is more a result of his insecurities about being who he is, about being gay. (\"I've wanted to be a girl for as long as I can remember. I figured it'd be the only way I could ever get with a guy. I envied girls.\") When Kaji tells him he likes his body just the way it is, he starts to lose his desire to actually get transsexual surgery. After all, his lover likes his body the way it is, and that's what matters. Well, there's also the slight problem that Kaji is a poor art student who makes a lot less money than Nagii\u2014another Takanaga gender-role reversal!\u2014but since this is BL, love conquers all.\n\nTakanaga has her hits and misses, but at her best, she writes great stories with a lot of emotional variety, from sad to comedic to flowery 110% romance. (I also like the expressiveness of her characters' faces, compared to some BL where everyone seems to be trying to look as serious as possible even when they're getting it on.) Not all good mangaka need to be genre-busting Alan Moore/Hideaki Anno-style revolutionaries who will make you question the meaning of life and your whole reason for reading manga, etcetera. Takanaga is talented, she delivers the sex and emotions, and she also shows some individual personality and goes places other authors in her field don't go. For anyone working in a formulaic genre, whether it's BL, shojo or shonen, this is a goal worth aspiring to.\n\nTo celebrate the launch of my new book with Victor Hao, King of RPGs volume 2 on May 24, we're announcing a contest for the greatest King of RPGs fan art!

I wanted my tweet to allow other immigrants the opportunity to speak up,\" she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.\n\nTrump has taken a tough stance on immigration, moving to limit refugee intake, rescind protections for people brought into the country illegally as children, and block travel for citizens of certain Muslim-majority nations in the Middle East and Africa.\n\nSome people used the hashtag #IAmFromAShitholeCountry on Facebook and Twitter as an expression of pride.\n\n\"My hope is that we would showcase who/what we are...in hopes that we can turn this around,\" said Ba Lo, a Nigerian American man who urged people to get the hashtag trending.\n\n\"There is this impression that we live in huts and walk around with no shoes,\" Lo, who manages a healthcare agency, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.\n\nAfter living in the United States for 15 years, Lo said Trump's comments made him want to move back to Nigeria. He requested to use a pseudonym because he was afraid of getting death threats.\n\n\"It is especially painful to me because I served in the United States navy and this is not the country I signed up to fight and possibly die for,\" Lo said.\n\nOlusegun Ishmael, a doctor in Chicago, had another kind of response.

It cannot sabotage other nations\u2019 sovereignty and security.\u201d\n\nThe Chinese admiral went on to defend China\u2019s island building in the South China Sea as \u201csensible, reasonable and legitimate,\u201d adding that Chinese and US navies should view their differences rationally, and avoid \u201csituations of exigency.\u201d\n\nAdmiral Swift, for his part, said the US navy does not want the South China Sea to become an issue disrupting ties between the two sides, expressing hope that the two navies could maintain high-level exchanges and hold more joint drills.\n\n\nShare This:\n\nSponsored Links<|endoftext|>You are here\n\nFour adjoining Joo Chiat shophouses up for sale\n\nThe site is zoned as 'commercial'; possible uses include offices, banks, restaurants and cinemas\n\n\nA ROW of four three-storey shophouses in Joo Chiat has been put up for sale via public tender by CBRE.\n\nThe adjoining units are located at 292, 294, 296 and 298 Joo Chiat Road, and have a combined land area of approximately 7,616 square feet.

I have three degrees. I speak three languages... I'm from a shithole country!\" wrote Nyadow Chol, a medical student from South Sudan whose tweet went viral.\n\n\"(Trump) referred to us as if we don't have a lot to provide to American society. I wanted my tweet to allow other immigrants the opportunity to speak up,\" she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.\n\nTrump has taken a tough stance on immigration, moving to limit refugee intake, rescind protections for people brought into the country illegally as children, and block travel for citizens of certain Muslim-majority nations in the Middle East and Africa.\n\nSome people used the hashtag #IAmFromAShitholeCountry on Facebook and Twitter as an expression of pride.\n\n\"My hope is that we would showcase who/what we are...in hopes that we can turn this around,\" said Ba Lo, a Nigerian American man who urged people to get the hashtag trending.\n\n\"There is this impression that we live in huts and walk around with no shoes,\" Lo, who manages a healthcare agency, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.\n\nAfter living in the United States for 15 years, Lo said Trump's comments made him want to move back to Nigeria. He requested to use a pseudonym because he was afraid of getting death threats.\n\n\"It is especially painful to me because I served in the United States navy and this is not the country I signed up to fight and possibly die for,\" Lo said.\n\nOlusegun Ishmael, a doctor in Chicago, had another kind of response. He posted links to dozens of notable Nigerians and Nigerian Americans including scientists, musicians and writers.\n\n\"Here are two lists of people from huts and 'shithole places' like me,\" Ishmael wrote on Twitter.\n\n\n\nOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.<|endoftext|>\n\nCamphor Carving #3\n\nOne of several carvings, all of a similar size, and all originated from Zhejiang province over 100 years ago.

The burgeoning warmth of strobe lights came from the casino. I was sixteen years old, and every man loved me, but every woman hated me. London had always been unique to a girl like me, a loveable rogue who couldn\u2019t help but find men falling at her feet as thrilling as almost dying. I always got the same rush as when I stood in front of that double-decker bus that one bonfire night. Luckily for me, and I say luckily with jest, you pulled me away and threw me on the ground. I never forgave you for that. You\u2019re married now with two kids in tow, but I always taste that strawberry milk you used to buy from the Asian market.

We would share in one bottle of soda to save money from our allowance. Once we consume the whole bun, we'd feel heavy and full because it was solid and it tasted good even without fillings or palaman. Sometimes, it has bukbok inside but it did not stop us to eat, we would just take them out of our Nutribun before we proceeded to eat. In my early age, I never thought about how freshly baked it was or if the ingredients were still fresh or whether the bread could be donated for a cause and about to expire.

Of course being our sexual nature these feeling can play out in us sexuallly thus the springing forth of sexual domination fetishes. I think it is totally erroneous to call a man weak because he wishes to submit himself to a women. I beleive that this sort of desire comes deep inside as a respect and loyalty to women on a level that is far beyond what the average man is willing to admit. Personally Id see it ladies as a form of flattery. If you take a close look at histories rapists and serial murderers who have murdered out of sexual lust have done so as an act of domination over the female victim. In a happy and perfect world men need no guidance and the perfect relationship that women seek would be the norm. However it is not the norm. Men have run wild. We are like wild horses that need tammed. Dont get me wrong there are some great guys out there many many great guys. The fact is they are not the norm. Look at society and tell me Iam wrong. We have have women shelters all across this country, single mothers whose children barely get by because of a dead beat father who is no where to be found, women in countries sold as sex slaves. And some of you women dare call us men with domination fetishes weak! Just as the stallion is not weak because of his submission to his master, neither is the man who is submissive to his women.\n\nKCMar 27 2011 10:51am\nWomen have a naturally dominant side. (This comes as a surprise to a few people!) Problem is, the only side many females ever explore in their sexual life is their submissive side. (Similarly, and for the same reasons, the only side many males ever explore in their sexual life is their dominant side.) The reason for this has nothing to do with genetics or one's assigned sex. Due to social mores still burdening us in this day and age, it seems many women are literally embarrassed to explore their blossoming dominant side. Many women feel that they actually might be betraying their very femininity! After years of coddling to the \"submissive\" role they are raised to portray, many women fear that their feelings drawing them to explore their dominant side might be, well, a \"bad\" thing. (But, of course, a deliciously bad thing!) Well, I say, if you're going to be bad, be good at it!\n\njMar 30 2011 7:27am\nYou are some very confused individuals--each and every one here. Where to even begin??? I'll make it simple. Society does not, and never has, existed. There are many different means for many different ends. We have a culture (say that word cuuulture) of all types of complex peoples. Inevitable war is a for sure in any culture, a constant the same as death, and nobody dominates like a dude thinking he's that unstoppable force. History should show you that men have always, and very probably shall continue to resort to war when he feels beleaguered under any instance. The answer to this overly serious question is a resounding \"NO\" and it's war, in general, you should be preparing for.\n\nGeniusApr 22 2011 3:06am\nThose who make slaves, make slaves of themselves.\n\ndonMay 24 2011 12:21pm\nI have not read this entire thread, so forgive me if somone has mentioned this already. The question of whether one gender is superior to another, and therefore entitled to dominate the other, is a false arguement.

A better question would be, is one type of living, male led or female led, superior to the other. I see the self-empowerment of women in the modern age as a positive thing, but by and large, it is the individual woman who is excelling in the most visible ways. Many woman still seem to be choosing to be the more passive partner, and it that is their choice, it should be respected. No doubt many wan will have to adapt to societal change, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. As for out and out malicious enslavement of the male gender, that does not seem likely. One thing most poeple agree on is that if there is a genuine necessity for justified violent force, men are more naturally inclined to excel at it. I am not trying to say that an individual female cannot excel as a soldier, because they clearly can. In a one on one bloody brawl between the average man and the average woman, of idnetical fighting skill, the man has an inherent advantage.

(Similarly, and for the same reasons, the only side many males ever explore in their sexual life is their dominant side.) The reason for this has nothing to do with genetics or one's assigned sex. Due to social mores still burdening us in this day and age, it seems many women are literally embarrassed to explore their blossoming dominant side. Many women feel that they actually might be betraying their very femininity! After years of coddling to the \"submissive\" role they are raised to portray, many women fear that their feelings drawing them to explore their dominant side might be, well, a \"bad\" thing.

These risks are derived from the linear relationship between radiation doses and health effects (mostly cancer) in the atomic bomb survivor studies. However, at low exposure doses, the high natural incidence of the disease masks any additional effects that may have been caused by radiation. Because of this, the LNT assumes that cancer incidence as it relates to radiation dose behaves in the same way as at higher doses; that is, in a linear manner.\n\nHowever, there is little conclusive direct evidence of adverse health effects at doses below 100 mSv, questioning the certainty to the LNT risk model. Some experts postulate that the actual hazard at low radiation doses is lower than those predicted by LNT. Whether the actual effect is linear or otherwise remains unknown, and the core principle of radiation safety is to ensure that radiation levels are kept as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA).\n\nIn light of this uncertainty and given the uncontrolled nature of a contamination radiological event, current guidance for immediate response to an emergency focuses first on prevention of very high-dose exposures; next, on promptly recognizing and controlling levels of contamination that may progress to acute health risks if not immediately controlled; and then, if feasible, on evaluating and managing lower levels of contamination and exposures near to background levels.\n\n\nClinical Syndromes\n\nLocalized cutaneous injury\n\nLocalized exposure to high doses of radiation may cause cutaneous injury similar to burns. Blistering, erythema, desquamation, and ulceration often present about 12-20 days after irradiation with the onset and severity related to the magnitude of exposure.\n\nA local exposure of 3 Gy leads to epilation within 1-2 weeks. A local exposure of 6 Gy may cause immediate signs of burn. Greater exposures of 10-15 Gy lead to dry desquamation, and exposures of 20-50 Gy lead to wet desquamation (partial-thickness burn) within 2-3 weeks. For doses greater than 50 Gy, a cutaneous syndrome of necrosis and ulceration may occur from damage to endothelial cells and small blood vessels. Vascular complications may present months to years after exposure.\n\nAcute radiation syndrome\n\nThe acute radiation syndrome (ARS) occurs after whole-body exposure to a large dose of ionizing radiation. This syndrome includes a number of characteristic signs and symptoms whose severity depends on magnitude of dose and duration of exposure. ARS, by definition, does not occur at doses less than 1 Gy and is uniformly fatal at doses greater than 10 Gy. The estimated LD50/60 (the dose at which 50% of those exposed die within 60 days) is 3.5 Gy for humans without medical treatment and roughly 7.0 Gy with treatment.\n\nStages of acute radiation syndrome\n\nAcute radiation syndrome (ARS) has been described according to progression of illness through 4 stages: (1) prodrome, (2) clinical latency, (3) manifest illness, and (4) recovery or death. The prodromal symptoms occur shortly after irradiation, with the dose of exposure determining severity, duration, and onset. Common prodromal symptoms include nausea, vomiting, anorexia, fatigue, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and dehydration. At doses of greater than 10 Gy, those exposed show symptoms within 5-15 minutes; at lower doses such as 2-3 Gy, symptoms can take up to 12 hours to present. Immediate diarrhea, hypotension, and fever indicate a supralethal exposure. Severe and early onset of prodromal symptoms indicates higher dosage of exposure and a poor prognosis. Progression through the other phases depends on dosage of exposure.\n\nClassic acute radiation syndromes\n\nAcute radiation syndrome (ARS) is further described by its 3 classic subsyndromes: the hematopoietic syndrome, the gastrointestinal syndrome, and the cerebrovascular syndrome. [16] The hematopoietic syndrome typically occurs after exposures of 2-5 Gy. At these doses, lymphocytes die from radiation-induced apoptosis, and precursor cells in the bone marrow are destroyed preventing new production of leukocytes and platelets. During the period of a few weeks (clinical latency), circulating cells die off with no replacements; it is at this nadir that the full syndrome becomes clinically apparent with development of infections and possible hemorrhage. Anemia from red cell depression usually does not occur alone in the absence of hemorrhage. Early supportive care, treatment and prevention of infections, and the consideration of cytokine therapy are all important aspects of care for this subsyndrome. However, even if the hematopoietic syndrome is treated, death commonly still occurs from multiorgan failure.\n\nThe gastrointestinal syndrome usually occurs after exposures of more than 5-12 Gy. Irradiation leads to death of intestinal mucosal stem cells in the crypts. After loss of mucosal cells at the villi through normal functioning, the stem cells are unable to produce new cells, leading to denudation of the GI tract. As the normal GI boundary is compromised, bacterial growth proliferates increasing the risk of sepsis. Common symptoms include anorexia, nausea, vomiting, prolonged bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, dehydration, and weight loss. Often the prodrome onset is rapid, followed by a latent period of roughly 1 week followed by the return of symptoms. The mainstays of treatment are maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance and infection prevention. Nevertheless, despite treatment death often follows in 3-10 days.\n\nThe cerebrovascular syndrome occurs after exposures of very high doses (>30 Gy) and is uniformly fatal. At doses of greater than 100 Gy, death occurs within hours. Although the exact mechanism of death is not fully understood, vascular damage is thought to lead to significant cerebral edema, producing neurologic and cardiovascular collapse. Immediate symptoms include nausea, vomiting, hypotension, ataxia, and convulsions. Death follows within a few days.\n\n\nStaff Safety\n\nPerhaps the most important issue for emergency planners to address prior and during any disaster is protection of the staff members and first responders. Workers should be monitored for radiation exposure and use caution rendering care, but the risk of health effects must be kept in perspective to allow for optimal evaluation and care of victims. According to Waselenko et al, no healthcare workers who have adhered to appropriate guidelines have become contaminated or suffered from radiation injuries from handling a contaminated patient. [17]\n\nThat being said, the only way to respond safely and intelligently is with properly functioning radiation monitoring equipment. While all hospitals have some access to equipment, it is absolutely essential that appropriate equipment be immediately available in the emergency department and that staff are sufficiently trained to perform basic radiation surveys 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.\n\nDuring the unknown early phase of a disaster, staff must observe an all-hazards approach and assume that biological, chemical, and radiological hazards may be present. Only after other hazards are excluded should staff limit their focus to radiological hazards. Protection should focus on minimizing external exposure and preventing inhalation, or inadvertent ingestion. In most cases, protection is accomplished by observing standard precautions, also referred to as level D personal protective equipment (PPE), generally observed in the hospital setting.\n\nBasic radiation surveillance should focus on identifying the presence of radiation, protecting staff and patients, and controlling the spread of contamination. Once available, radiation specialists should be able to characterize the hazards more specifically.\n\nOptimally, all personnel entering or working in a radiation control zone should wear personal dosimeters. In the early phases of a disaster, this may not be feasible, in which cases, dose estimates will need to be reconstructed. Under all circumstances, radiation exposure should be kept as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) while preserving critical operations and resources.\n\nGeneral radiation protection principles:\n\n \u2022 Time - Minimize time spent near radioactive source\n\n \u2022 Distance - Maximize distance from source\n\n \u2022 Shielding - Place physical shields around source\n\nAdditionally, during an uncontrolled situation, providers should observe universal precautions, including splash and water protection. Furthermore, staff actively attending contaminated patients should wear personal monitors, such as real-time dosimeters and/or film badges, unless the level of exposure is known to be negligible.\n\nRisks of radiation exposure\n\nRadiation protection agencies assume that even the smallest exposure to ionizing radiation has an incremental albeit small probability of causing a long-term effect, such as cancer. For example, there is a hypothetical risk of cancer from receiving radiation from a single chest x-ray, the risk is so small that it impossible to statistically prove this.\n\nThe annual background radiation dose is equivalent to about 12-15 chest x-rays a year, and this is considered a normal yearly exposure. Other activities, like smoking or airline travel, can increase one\u2019s annual dose of radiation. Medical tests, especially imaging using radiation, also increase the dose of radiation exposure. The hazard is thought to be very small relative to the expected benefit of the test.\n\nOn the other hand, very high radiation doses received in a short period may cause serious illness and even death. The dose range where acute effects are seen are equivalent to the dose one would receive from several thousand chest x-rays.\n\nThe radiation doses to staff members involved in an emergency response are expected to be well below these thresholds and well within the annual range of radiation exposures established by radiation protection agencies.\n\n\nPrehospital Care\n\nEmergency services personnel should initiate their incident command structure as soon as a radiation event is suspected. They should secure the scene, ensure self-protection, and attempt to rescue injured or ill victims while minimizing radiation exposure to all individuals, including the rescuers. Personnel should wear appropriate protective gear prior to arrival at the scene and follow the guidance of the radiation safety officer or operations commander. Clinical operations may be required in high exposure areas, but exposure limits should be strictly regulated by supervisors.\n\nIn the field, it", "base_doc": " between radiation exposure and cancer risk with all radiation doses.

For example, there is a hypothetical risk of cancer from receiving radiation from a single chest x-ray, the risk is so small that it impossible to statistically prove this.\n\nThe annual background radiation dose is equivalent to about 12-15 chest x-rays a year, and this is considered a normal yearly exposure. Other activities, like smoking or airline travel, can increase one\u2019s annual dose of radiation. Medical tests, especially imaging using radiation, also increase the dose of radiation exposure. The hazard is thought to be very small relative to the expected benefit of the test.\n\nOn the other hand, very high radiation doses received in a short period may cause serious illness and even death. The dose range where acute effects are seen are equivalent to the dose one would receive from several thousand chest x-rays.\n\nThe radiation doses to staff members involved in an emergency response are expected to be well below these thresholds and well within the annual range of radiation exposures established by radiation protection agencies.\n\n\nPrehospital Care\n\nEmergency services personnel should initiate their incident command structure as soon as a radiation event is suspected. They should secure the scene, ensure self-protection, and attempt to rescue injured or ill victims while minimizing radiation exposure to all individuals, including the rescuers. Personnel should wear appropriate protective gear prior to arrival at the scene and follow the guidance of the radiation safety officer or operations commander. Clinical operations may be required in high exposure areas, but exposure limits should be strictly regulated by supervisors.\n\nIn the field, it is far more important to detect the presence of abnormally high radiation fields than to identify specific contaminants. Personal radiation monitoring instruments should be worn", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 91616, "pt_loc": 37698808, "pt_shuffle_idx": 20685807, "doc_index_f": 32435612, "doc_index_l": 32435612, "offset_f": 2749, "offset_l": 4797, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 27, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]}

Accordingly, defendant made a choice not to present mitigating evidence or to cross-examine the prosecution's witnesses. Counsel also represented that defendant wished to absent himself entirely from the penalty phase, except for his own testimony, and that he would stipulate to any identification of him by the prosecution witnesses.\n\nThe trial court questioned defendant at length. Defendant confirmed that he had met with defense counsel and the investigator to discuss the penalty phase. It was his desire to forgo mitigating evidence, cross-examination, and his presence during trial. Defendant understood that these actions \u201ccould be an advantage to the prosecution\u201d and that \u201cthere's a good likelihood that the jury's going to come back with a recommendation of the death penalty[.]\u201d He confirmed that he had \u201cgiven this a lot of thought .\u201d When the court asked why he wanted to proceed in such a fashion, defendant responded, \u201cI'd rather do a death sentence than do life without.\u201d The court explained that it would be \u201cdifficult, if not impossible\u201d to successfully appeal on these issues. Defendant stated he understood. When asked if he wanted more time to think about his decision, defendant stated: \u201cI've been thinking about this since 1992,[10 ] either bad or good deciding what I was going to do if I was convicted of this crime. I made that decision with my attorney that I would accept that. I would much rather have a death sentence than a life sentence.\u201d Defendant had not been taking any medication or suffering from an illness that would impair his ability to think clearly. Defendant yet again affirmed his desire to present no mitigation and be absent from proceedings. The court found \u201cthat the defendant's wishes regarding the penalty phase are informed, they're voluntary, and they're given intelligently.\u201d\n\nAs noted, several prosecution witnesses described other offenses committed by defendant. (Pen.Code, \u00a7 190.3, factor (b).) Defense counsel did not cross-examine. Defendant testified and denied killing April and committing most of the offenses described at the penalty phase, then expressed his preference for the death penalty. During closing argument, defense counsel repeated defendant's desire for the death penalty and simply urged the jury to \u201cfollow the law.\u201d\n\n\u201c \u2018In assessing claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel, we consider whether counsel's representation fell below an objective standard of reasonableness under prevailing professional norms and whether the defendant suffered prejudice to a reasonable probability, that is, a probability sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome.

Washington (1984) 466 U.S. 668, 694.)\n\nDefendant asserts his counsel was ineffective for acquiescing in defendant's preference for the death penalty.11 Defendant relies principally upon People v. Deere (1985) 41 Cal.3d 353 (Deere I ), the continued precedential value of which has been sharply and repeatedly circumscribed. Deere pleaded guilty to special circumstances murder. He waived a jury trial as to penalty and stipulated the trial court could consider the transcript of the preliminary and suppression hearings. Defense counsel made a lengthy record explaining why he allowed the defendant to proceed in this manner. Deere testified he deserved death, and the trial court imposed that sentence. (Id. at p. 357.)\n\nThis court reversed the penalty. Writing for the majority, Justice Mosk likened allowing \u201ca defendant convicted of a potentially capital crime to bar his counsel from introducing mitigating evidence at the penalty phase because he wants to die\u201d to permitting a defendant to \u201cmisus[e] the judicial system to commit a state-aided suicide.\u201d (Deere I, supra, 41 Cal.3d at p. 363.) Justice Mosk suggested \u201cthe state's interest in a reliable penalty determination,\u201d as well as this court's \u201cconstitutional and statutory duty to review a judgment of death upon the complete record of the case,\u201d would be defeated if a defendant may prevent the introduction of mitigating evidence. (Id. at pp. 364, 363.) Finally, Justice Mosk concluded defense counsel rendered ineffective assistance, reasoning that counsel's authority extended to decisions regarding whether to call particular witnesses, and \u201chere counsel made no effort to call any such witnesses on defendant's behalf.\u201d (Id. at p. 367.)\n\nAs we have observed, however, subsequent decisions \u201chave largely undermined the court's holding in Deere I.\u201d (People v. Deere (1991) 53 Cal.3d 705, 716.) The first such case was People v. Bloom (1989) 48 Cal.3d 1194 (Bloom ), which disapproved Deere I's suggestion that the failure to present mitigating evidence affected the reliability of a death verdict: \u201c[T]he required reliability is attained when the prosecution has discharged its burden of proof at the guilt and penalty phases pursuant to the rules of evidence and within the guidelines of a constitutional death penalty statute, the death verdict has been returned under proper instructions and procedures, and the trier of penalty has duly considered the relevant mitigating evidence, if any, which the defendant has chosen to present. A judgment of death entered in conformity with these rigorous standards does not violate the Eighth Amendment reliability requirements.\u201d (Bloom, at p. 1228; see also id. at p. 1228, fn. 9.)\n\nIn People v. Lang (1989) 49 Cal.3d 991 (Lang ), the defense relied upon Deere I to claim counsel rendered ineffective assistance by agreeing to Lang's request that his grandmother not be called as a mitigating witness. Lang noted that, under Bloom's reasoning, \u201cthe death judgment in this case is not to be regarded as unreliable merely because defense counsel agreed to defendant's request that his grandmother not be called to testify as a defense witness at the penalty phase.\u201d (Lang, at p. 1030.) Lang reasoned: \u201cTo require defense counsel to present mitigating evidence over the defendant's objection would be inconsistent with an attorney's paramount duty of loyalty to the client and would undermine the trust, essential for effective representation, existing between attorney and client. Moreover, imposing such a duty could cause some defendants who otherwise would not have done so to exercise their Sixth Amendment right of self-representation (see Faretta v. California, supra, 422 U.S. 806) before commencement of the guilt phase [citations] in order to retain control over the presentation of evidence at the penalty phase, resulting in a significant loss of legal protection for these defendants during the guilt phase.\u201d (Id. at p. 1031.) Lang alternatively concluded that, even assuming counsel acted improperly, the doctrine of invited error barred an ineffective assistance claim \u201cbased on counsel's acts or omissions in conformance with the defendant's own requests.\u201d (Id. at p. 1032.) Lang observed \u201cthat defendant predicates the claim of ineffective assistance solely on his trial counsel's action in yielding to his demand, and not on any antecedent act or omission of counsel.\u201d (Ibid.)\n\nSubsequent cases have applied Bloom and Lang. For example, People v. Sanders (1990) 51 Cal.3d 471, concluded defense counsel did not render ineffective assistance by acceding to the defendant's request to forgo mitigating evidence: \u201cAt least in the absence of evidence showing counsel failed to investigate available mitigating evidence or advise defendant of its significance [citation], we cannot say defendant's trial attorney provided ineffective assistance of counsel.\u201d (Id. at p. 526, fn. omitted.) The defendant attempted to distinguish prior cases by noting \u201che presented absolutely no mitigating evidence in this case,\u201d but Sanders found no grounds for reversal: \u201cDefendant's knowing and voluntary decision to forgo his right to present mitigating evidence, cross-examine adverse witnesses, and present closing argument at the penalty phase of his trial estops him from now claiming an entitlement to a reversal based on those decisions.\u201d (Id. at p. 527, citing Lang, supra, 49 Cal.3d at pp. 1031\u20131032; see also In re Avena (1996) 12 Cal.4th 694, 7", "base_doc": " decision with counsel at least three times and other times with his paralegal.

-{"pt_doc": "?\n\nDo you know of any other instances where supply chain management had such a large impact in two or more competing companies? What were the results?\n\n\n15 thoughts on \u201cA tale of two companies\n\n 1. I personally do not think Kmart will be able to make a comeback. It has gotten to the point where companies like Walmart and Target are just to big and successful to have competition from a business like Kmart. I don\u2019t even know where a Kmart is off the top of my head but I know where several Walmarts are in my area alone. When consumers want something from a discount store I don\u2019t think Kmart comes to mind. It would be interesting to see if they increased supply chain management in the 90s if they would be as successful as Walmart, or if it was only a matter of time before Walmart took over anyway.\n\n 2. I do not think Kmart will make a comeback. Walmart and other stores are the leaders and have more information and research in the field. Kmart is playing catchup while driving a corolla while walmart is in a lambo. Kmart simply cannot compete with the prices and scale of walmart. That being said, i would rather shop at target and pay a little more not to have to walk into a walmart.\n\n 3. I don\u2019t believe that Kmart can make a comeback. They seem too far behind at this point. I remember there used to be a time where Kmart was everywhere and in the past ten years, I have seen only a few Kmart stores around and they aren\u2019t usually located in heavily populated areas when I had come across them. Unfortunately Walmart took over and to me it seems like Kmart will dwindle until it is no more. The only other two companies I can really think of that relate would be Walmart and Target. I had completed a project regarding Walmart and Target last year and the results showed that people were more willing to go to a Target regardless of how far it was and spend a little bit more money just to avoid Walmart.\n\n 4. Like everyone above stated, I don\u2019t think Kmart will be able to make a comeback. Not many people know about Kmarts, so replacing stores would seem to be pointless. They might fight to keep the remaining stores open, but they won\u2019t be able to scratch the surface of the control that a Walmart has. The stores will probably lose money until Kmart becomes a thing of the past. It almost seems to be Walmart\u2019s specialty, low prices and closing other stores.\n\n 5. K mart should just take the loss as it probably won\u2019t make a comeback. I still don\u2019t know how there\u2019s one still open a few blocks from my place. K mart has developed a weak reputation, making Walmart and other top retailers even stronger. If K had some stand out qualities that differentiated itself from Walmart, than maybe it would do a little better, but to me, the one I have been to is unorganized, contains old cash registers, and charges way more for its products than Walmart.\n\n 6. I believe that Kmart will be unable to reestablish the same credibility that used to prioritize low prices over high-end merchandse and will therefore be unable to make a comeback. As previously stated, Kmart thrived from it\u2019s efficient supply chain management and even if those methods were to be reinstated, Kmart seems to be well on its way to bankruptcy unless remedial measures are taken.\n Similarly, General Motors Bankruptcy in 2009 us using factory and supply chain management methods to make a comeback which goes to show that efficient supply chain management is essential to the success of large scale buisninesses.\n\n 7. I think kmart had a good chance of catching up when they combined with sears, but then after awhile I feel the store started to go back into its old ways and the foot traffic started to go away. I would love for Kmart to pick it self back up because I hate going to Wal mart along with the time of people that usually shop there it can get sketchy parts of the day. Target is always my main choice of shopping they seem to have a well developed store that is always clean and well ran.\n\n 8. I agree with your blog post that supply chain management can be an integral part to a business\u2019 success and I find that to be particularly true in the case of Walmart versus Kmart. Since both Walmart and Kmart started at the same time, this is a great example of how a company\u2019s supply chain management can make or break its success in the overall market. I think that while there is still a chance for Kmart to update its supply chain, I do not think that it will be in enough time for the company to make a full recovery before going under. I think their brand has already been diminished in the public eye and rather than expanding like Walmart, Kmart has only been shrinking. While I cannot think of any retailers where supply chain has made such a big difference, I think it could have been a contributing factor in the success of Macy\u2019s as opposed to J.C. Penney. This is another example of two companies that went in two directions and one ended up far ahead of the other.\n\n 9. I don\u2019t think that Kmart has a chance of regaining market share against Walmart. I feel that Walmart made too many operational improvements that will prevent Kmart from making any type of moves. To make any headway some drastic changes need to be made by Kmart, like rebranding or focusing and learning what will improve in the customer\u2019s eyes.\n\n 10. KMart has been fascinating to watch because, as a child, it was so prominent and really comparable to WalMart. It\u2019s amazing to try to understand why a discount retailer would try to stock premium items to me: failure of management deserving of the costly mistake. WalMart seems to be in another battle today against Amazon. It will be interesting to see how these two companies, who have probably some of the best supply chain management, go to war with each other for customers as we shift to the online marketplace. I know Amazon has same-day delivery in a few places and just started testing their drones and I am curious what WalMart\u2019s response will be.\n\n 11. A great post which describes the difference between Walmart and Kmart in terms of their supply chain management. I think Kmart is too far behind to get up with Walmart today. Walmart is better in terms of availability of stocks and affordability as Walmart carries and sustains a high portion of its stock available and is less expensive compared to Kmart. To be successful or gain attention in the eyes of a customer I think Kmart should even prove better to stand different against their rivals in an advanced way and learning and focusing on the things it could get better.\n\n 12. I think for K-mart to succeed again it will be a slow progress and it must be a careful plan for rightsizing operation, cutting cost and most important solve their supply chain issues. Kmart must emerge in the market with more gourmet products and higher service level, that way they will not compete with Walmart instead more like Target crowd now.\n\n 13. I believe Kmart can comeback provided they develop a blue ocean strategy. I think they need to start to open stores in the developed countries. this can help them to create a market share world wide and to maintain a sustainable growth.\n\n 14. I strongly doubt Kmart will be able to get back on track in terms of reputation, position and market share. Kmart is not as known as WalMart therefore, customers will be heading to their most convenient store. Replacing stores wouldn\u2019t really make a difference to their position in the market.

What were the results?\n\n\n15 thoughts on \u201cA tale of two companies\n\n 1. I personally do not think Kmart will be able to make a comeback. It has gotten to the point where companies like Walmart and Target are just to big and successful to have competition from a business like Kmart. I don\u2019t even know where a Kmart is off the top of my head but I know where several Walmarts are in my area alone. When consumers want something from a discount store I don\u2019t think Kmart comes to mind. It would be interesting to see if they increased supply chain management in the 90s if they would be as successful as Walmart, or if it was only a matter of time before Walmart took over anyway.\n\n 2. I do not think Kmart will make a comeback. Walmart and other stores are the leaders and have more information and research in the field. Kmart is playing catchup while driving a corolla while walmart is in a lambo. Kmart simply cannot compete with the prices and scale of walmart. That being said, i would rather shop at target and pay a little more not to have to walk into a walmart.\n\n 3. I don\u2019t believe that Kmart can make a comeback. They seem too far behind at this point. I remember there used to be a time where Kmart was everywhere and in the past ten years, I have seen only a few Kmart stores around and they aren\u2019t usually located in heavily populated areas when I had come across them. Unfortunately Walmart took over and to me it seems like Kmart will dwindle until it is no more. The only other two companies I can really think of that relate would be Walmart and Target. I had completed a project regarding Walmart and Target last year and the results showed that people were more willing to go to a Target regardless of how far it was and spend a little bit more money just to avoid Walmart.\n\n 4. Like everyone above stated, I don\u2019t think Kmart will be able to make a comeback. Not many people know about Kmarts, so replacing stores would seem to be pointless. They might fight to keep the remaining stores open, but they won\u2019t be able to scratch the surface of the control that a Walmart has. The stores will probably lose money until Kmart becomes a thing of the past. It almost seems to be Walmart\u2019s specialty, low prices and closing other stores.\n\n 5. K mart should just take the loss as it probably won\u2019t make a comeback. I still don\u2019t know how there\u2019s one still open a few blocks from my place. K mart has developed a weak reputation, making Walmart and other top retailers even stronger. If K had some stand out qualities that differentiated itself from Walmart, than maybe it would do a little better, but to me, the one I have been to is unorganized, contains old cash registers, and charges way more for its products than Walmart.\n\n 6. I believe that Kmart will be unable to reestablish the same credibility that used to prioritize low prices over high-end merchandse and will therefore be unable to make a comeback. As previously stated, Kmart thrived from it\u2019s efficient supply chain management and even if those methods were to be reinstated, Kmart seems to be well on its way to bankruptcy unless remedial measures are taken.\n Similarly, General Motors Bankruptcy in 2009 us using factory and supply chain management methods to make a comeback which goes to show that efficient supply chain management is essential to the success of large scale buisninesses.\n\n 7. I think kmart had a good chance of catching up when they combined with sears, but then after awhile I feel the store started to go back into its old ways and the foot traffic started to go away. I would love for Kmart to pick it self back up because I hate going to Wal mart along with the time of people that usually shop there it can get sketchy parts of the day. Target is always my main choice of shopping they seem to have a well developed store that is always clean and well ran.\n\n 8. I agree with your blog post that supply chain management can be an integral part to a business\u2019 success and I find that to be particularly true in the case of Walmart versus Kmart. Since both Walmart and Kmart started at the same time, this is a great example of how a company\u2019s supply chain management can make or break its success in the overall market. I think that while there is still a chance for Kmart to update its supply chain, I do not think that it will be in enough time for the company to make a full recovery before going under. I think their brand has already been diminished in the public eye and rather than expanding like Walmart, Kmart has only been shrinking. While I cannot think of any retailers where supply chain has made such a big difference, I think it could have been a contributing factor in the success of Macy\u2019s as opposed to J.C. Penney. This is another example of two companies that went in two directions and one ended up far ahead of the other.\n\n 9. I don\u2019t think that Kmart has a chance of regaining market share against Walmart. I feel that Walmart made too many operational improvements that will prevent Kmart from making any type of moves. To make any headway some drastic changes need to be made by Kmart, like rebranding or focusing and learning what will improve in the customer\u2019s eyes.\n\n 10. KMart has been fascinating to watch because, as a child, it was so prominent and really comparable to WalMart. It\u2019s amazing to try to understand why a discount retailer would try to stock premium items to me: failure of management deserving of the costly mistake. WalMart seems to be in another battle today against Amazon. It will be interesting to see how these two companies, who have probably some of the best supply chain management, go to war with each other for customers as we shift to the online marketplace. I know Amazon has same-day delivery in a few places and just started testing their drones and I am curious what WalMart\u2019s response will be.\n\n 11. A great post which describes the difference between Walmart and Kmart in terms of their supply chain management. I think Kmart is too far behind to get up with Walmart today. Walmart is better in terms of availability of stocks and affordability as Walmart carries and sustains a high portion of its stock available and is less expensive compared to Kmart. To be successful or gain attention in the eyes of a customer I think Kmart should even prove better to stand different against their rivals in an advanced way and learning and focusing on the things it could get better.\n\n 12. I think for K-mart to succeed again it will be a slow progress and it must be a careful plan for rightsizing operation, cutting cost and most important solve their supply chain issues. Kmart must emerge in the market with more gourmet products and higher service level, that way they will not compete with Walmart instead more like Target crowd now.\n\n 13. I believe Kmart can comeback provided they develop a blue ocean strategy. I think they need to start to open stores in the developed countries. this can help them to create a market share world wide and to maintain a sustainable growth.\n\n 14. I strongly doubt Kmart will be able to get back on track in terms of reputation, position and market share. Kmart is not as known as WalMart therefore, customers will be heading to their most convenient store. Replacing stores wouldn\u2019t really make a difference to their position in the market. However, they have a chance to try to get back on track, yet it will be a bottleneck progress for them, as WalMart already has its strong position and reputation. Kmart should take counteractive measures to get through all the vital conflicts.\n\n 15. when we are talking about two financial companies we need to consider some basic things which does not have any illegal functions. actually there are some confidential topic which matters, so just loan sections are opened for apply and information\u2019s are quite published openly so that people can understand easily.\n\nLeave a Reply\n<|endoftext|>Traveling can be great fun.

While Daria transforms into a very well-rounded being by the end of the season, many of the other characters remain largely one-dimensional, and the series would be better served to forgo including each member of the cast in every story as it's detrimental to getting to know any of them. Even Jane (Hoopes,) Daria's best friend, is largely unexplored through the first half of the season when she should have the second most depth after Daria herself. Granted, much of the cast is meant to appear as an archetypal caricature, Kevin and Brittany (Marc Thompson and Mertz, respectively) representing the jock and cheerleader stereotypes, with most other characters also showcasing a single personality trait blown far out of proportion, but it would feel much more genuine had these people been given an individual spotlight wherein they were able to prove themselves as something more. As it is, there are so many people crammed into every story that no one is given enough screen time to do anything of importance, and the writers need to slow their roll and give these characters the attention they need.\n\nAt the opening of the series there is some inconsistency as the actors take time to sort out who their characters are, but, for the most part, they settle into their roles very well. Mertz does double-duty as both Brittany and Sandi, and while the tone of their voices is vastly differently, the intonation and cadence is very similar, whereas Hoopes, playing the three most important women in Daria's life (best friend Jane, sister Quinn, and mother Helen) creates three very distinct voices from one another, rarely letting on that it's the same woman behind all three characters. Grandstaff, of course, carries this series with Daria's trademark stoicism, and even in moments when emotion breaks through Daria's facade proves herself very capable of remaining in character.\n\nAs stated above, the main issue I have with the direction of this series involves the abundance of characters forced to share an incredibly small amount of screen time. The episodes are far too cluttered, with side stories that often lead nowhere, and there are often plots that are set up to have a great pay off that simply fizzle out in the end due to a lack of time. This series is at it's best when it focuses on a select few people, bringing out great depth in underused characters when given the proper focus, and it's at it's worst when everyone is involved in the story in some capacity, generally as a cameo appearance in order to appease those who are simply expecting to see them.

The driving force behind an episode can be a little contrived from time to time, but the meat of the story lies within the observations provided by Daria and her friends, offering some kind of social commentary with every passing episode and willingly showing multiple sides of an issue. The diverse cast of characters here allows the writers to showcase a multitude of points of view without relying on a certain bias to make a point, instead playing out the discussions as they feel they would happen and seeing where the issue lands.

Why did you write this book?\n\n I wrote a survey article on the P/NP problem for a computing trade magazine, Communications of the ACM (http://bit.ly/pvnp-cacm), that quickly became the most downloaded article in that magazine's history. Clearly there was great interest in the P/NP question and there is no popular science book focused on P/NP or many on any computer science topic at all, so I took the survey I wrote as a template and started writing.\n\n 2. Ok, let's start with the basics, what is P/NP?\n\n The P/NP problem is best described by an example question: Are there 1000 people on Facebook whom are all friends with each other? Even if you worked for Facebook and had access to all its data, answering this question naively would require checking more possibilities than any computer, now or in the future, could possibly do. The P/NP question asks whether there is some very clever algorithm that can answer this problem and others like it.\n\n 3. What is the history of this problem? When was it first formulated and by who?\n\n The development of the P/NP problem has two histories, in North America and in Russia with researchers separated by the Cold War in the early 70's. In North America the problem developed in a rather conventional way, first defined by Steve Cook, a young professor, at the University of Toronto in 1971 as he looked at ways to connect logic and computation. A year later, Richard Karp of the University of California at Berkeley made the P/NP problem famous by tying it into a number of well-studied combinatorial problems. In Russia, progress was slowed by strong politics in their mathematical community, but eventually a young student, Leonid Levin, discovered the P/NP problem by looking at the difficulty of computer search. I devote a chapter of the book to the history and personalities leading up to the development of the P/NP problem on both sides of the Iron Curtain.\n\n 4. Why does it matter?\n\n It matters because if P=NP it would make a large number of difficult computational tasks immediately easy to solve and it would transform our lives beyond measure: we'd cure major diseases, make accurate predictions of weather, get near prefect translation, and much more. The computer could find solutions to virtually any question we could ask of it.\n\n 5. It really sounds like the \"golden ticket\" of your book's title. But in the book, you also talk about some of the less positive outcomes to solving this problem. Can you describe those too?\n\n We'd have a near complete loss of privacy as P=NP would allow anyone to reverse engineer any attempts to hide your activities. Also if P=NP virtually any job could be automated potentially leading to large-scale unemployment.\n\n 6. What makes it so difficult to solve?\n\n If P is not NP as most computer scientists believe, to show this requires that there is no algorithm out of an infinite number of possible clever algorithms, to solve a problem like the Facebook question above. It's very difficult, though hopefully not impossible, to show that no algorithm exists.\n\n 7. So, scientists are also trying to disprove P/NP? Why is that also important and do you think this is more likely than solving P=NP?\n\n Either P=NP or not, there exists one algorithm that solves most of the computational problems we care about or no such algorithm. Understanding which is the case will help us understand the best modes of attack on difficult computational problems. Because we don't expect the world to be so clean, with one algorithm that solves everything, the common belief of computer scientists is that P and NP are not equal.\n\n 8.

When he learned I was from Israel, he switched to Hebrew. So how come he supports the most religiously conservative candidate in the race? Well, this scion of a rabbinic family is a Messianic Jew. \"If the Lubavitch believe Rabbi Schneerson is the Messiah, I can believe Jesus is the savior,\" he proclaimed.\n\nGreenberg knows Santorum is the underdog, but \"he is the most principled candidate. I was disappointed he couldn't come to campaign here more, but after Iowa, I decided to support him, because Iowans did the homework for the rest of the nation, meeting with all the candidates for five weeks, and they chose him.\"\n\nGreenberg's candidate didn't do well Tuesday night: 46.4 percent of Florida Republican voters chose Romney, 31.9 percent opted for Gingrich, 13.4 percent for Santorum and 7 percent for Ron Paul, who preferred to spend his time campaigning in later primary states (though at the University of South Florida, where the polling booth was located in the local Hillel offices, there were plenty of signs supporting him - and none for other candidates ).\n\nRomney celebrated early, at the Tampa Convention center. He warned the Democrats that \"a competitive primary does not divide us; it prepares us,\" and promised his presidency would \"begin a new era of American prosperity,\" repeal Obama's health-care law, and \"stand with our friends and speak out for those seeking freedom.\"\n\n\"I want you to remember when our White House reflected the best of who we are, not the worst of what Europe has become,\" he told the cheering audience. \"That America is still out there.\"\n\nFrom Florida, Romney went on to rallies in Minnesota and Nevada. One of those who followed him was Jim Wilson, a veteran driving a truck decorated with two large Romney signs. \"I am spending my grandchildren's money so hopefully they'll have something left of this country,\" he said. \"I started in August in Iowa, and intend to finish at the inaugural ball.\" Why? \"Because Mitt Romney is the only one that can beat Obama. He has the experience, the integrity and the energy.\"\n\nDemocrats fight back\n\nBut the Democrats weren't lying low: Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL ), who heads the Democratic National Committee, was ready to tear into the winner on the stairs of the same Tampa convention center where Romney celebrated his victory.\n\n\"I've been spending some time chasing the Republican candidates around the country,\" she admitted to Haaretz. \"Because I am not going to let them get away on my watch as DNC chairman with distorting and lying about the president, and I think voters need to know there is a dramatic contrast and a clear choice\" between Obama and Romney.\n\nI told her some Gingrich supporters say they reject Romney because to them, Romney is Obama. \"I am not surprised,\" she shrugged. \"The Republicans have no idea who or what Mitt Romney stands for, because he was willing to say anything to get elected. In Iowa he says he'll veto the DREAM act [a bill to legalize certain illegal immigrants], but in Florida he says he'll support some version of it.\"\n\nSo, I asked her, you are attacking Romney exclusively because a Gingrich victory would be better for Democrats?\n\n\"They are really interchangeable,\" she said. \"They are trying to out-right-wing each other. They are all extreme.\"\n\nThe Republican candidates didn't focus much on Florida's Jews, since only a tiny fraction of them vote in the Republican primary: Jews constituted 3 percent of primary voters in 2008 and only 1 percent this year. Gingrich's campaign assailed Romney for \"vetoing, as governor, a bill that would pay for kosher food for Jewish seniors in his state,\" via robocalls wrongfully claiming that Holocaust survivors \"for the first time were forced to eat nonkosher because Romney thought $5 was too much to pay for our grandparents to eat kosher.\" Jewish seniors were not actually forced to eat nonkosher, but when campaigning, anything that harms your opponent is kosher.\n\nMost Jewish voters we met were more worried about the economy. But some asked the candidates who bothered to show up about Israel and Iran, others about Jonathan Pollard.\n\nAt one Romney rally, I met an anomaly: Daniel Najman, an Orthodox Jew who says he supports Ron Paul - because of his support for Israel.\n\n\"He is considered to be anti-Israeli, anti-Jewish, but he wants to cut all foreign aid, including money to Israel,\" Najman said. \"I've spoken many times to Israelis about the 'two-state final solution,' and they say it's dangerous, but they can't reject it because of America. If there is no aid, there can be, as Ron Paul says, equal relations. Israel can do what it wants. Besides, the Jewish state doesn't need any charity.\"\n\nWasserman Schultz said she is confident that the \"overwhelming majority of Jews in Florida and over the country will support President Obama. As Jews, we care about domestic policy, health care, education; we stand for people who have no voice; and the Republicans don't agree with the Jewish community on any of those issues. And on Israel, the Israeli leadership has repeatedly said that President Obama has been Israel's greatest friend.\"\n\nFor Gingrich, Florida was bad news: Romney succeeded in establishing his credentials even among the state's conservatives. Romney also did well among women - perhaps in part because of his wife Ann's active role in his campaign events. She introduces him as her husband, father of her five sons and America's next president, and stresses his support for her role as a mother, which resonates with many American women. Romney is not ashamed to introduce her as \"my sweetheart\" and extend his hand for her when she gets off the bus.\n\nIn contrast, Callista Gingrich, the former speaker's wife and his advisor behind the scenes, usually stands silently near her husband at rallies, smiling, nodding, clapping hands and moving her lips, saying: \"That's right, that's right.\"\n\nThere were plenty of Gingrich supporters in Florida. At one polling station, Cuban American retiree Francisco Rivera couldn't pronounce his name correctly, calling him \"Girich.\" But for him, \"Girich\" was the right choice, because \"Girich is straight, and Romney, I don't like him; he changes too much.\" Still, Tuesday wasn't a good day for him.\n\nFor Gingrich, who said \"it's a two-man race\" and promised to stay in it until the nomination in August, the big question is whether he can keep the donations flowing - and whether he can hold on to his base.<|endoftext|>Get Connected\n\nStation Casinos\n\nWorkers at Station Casinos continue to seek a fair process to decide whether to unionize despite their employer\u2019s illegal anti-union behavior.\n\nDo not patronize\n\nAs you meet, eat, or stay in Las Vegas, the Culinary Union encourages you to not patronize any of these properties with an active labor dispute.\n\nVegas Union Guide\n\n\nActivity Feed<|endoftext|>Log in\n\nDarth Paradox\n\n[ website | Pyrlogos - a fantasy webcomic ]\n[ userinfo | livejournal userinfo ]\n[ archive | journal archive ]\n\nI write words that make computers do things.

Romney is not ashamed to introduce her as \"my sweetheart\" and extend his hand for her when she gets off the bus.\n\nIn contrast, Callista Gingrich, the former speaker's wife and his advisor behind the scenes, usually stands silently near her husband at rallies, smiling, nodding, clapping hands and moving her lips, saying: \"That's right, that's right.\"\n\nThere were plenty of Gingrich supporters in Florida. At one polling station, Cuban American retiree Francisco Rivera couldn't pronounce his name correctly, calling him \"Girich.\" But for him, \"Girich\" was the right choice, because \"Girich is straight, and Romney, I don't like him; he changes too much.\" Still, Tuesday wasn't a good day for him.\n\nFor Gingrich, who said \"it's a two-man race\" and promised to stay in it until the nomination in August, the big question is whether he can keep the donations flowing - and whether he can hold on to his base.<|endoftext|>Get Connected\n\nStation Casinos\n\nWorkers at Station Casinos continue to seek a fair process to decide whether to unionize despite their employer\u2019s illegal anti-union behavior.\n\nDo not patronize\n\nAs you meet, eat, or stay in Las Vegas, the Culinary Union encourages you to not patronize any of these properties with an active labor dispute.\n\nVegas Union Guide\n\n\nActivity Feed<|endoftext|>Log in\n\nDarth Paradox\n\n[ website | Pyrlogos - a fantasy webcomic ]\n[ userinfo | livejournal userinfo ]\n[ archive | journal archive ]\n\nI write words that make computers do things.

Dylan himself has expressed some bewilderment as to how it all came about, and upon first hearing, one can only agree: The chord changes seem to go randomly in any direction, but strangely, it doesn\u2019t fall apart, and somehow it even seems to make sense. What\u2019s going on here?\n\nThe whole \u2018mystery\u2019 of the song hinges on the chord at the end of the first phrase. For the sake of simplicity, in the following explanation I have transposed the song up a semitone, to C.\n\nWhen they [C] came for Him in the [G] garden, did they [Am] know? [?]\n\nTo begin with, it is all plain and easy chords, well within the C tonality. The last chord, however, is the pivot. When it first enters, if one judges it according to what comes before it, it should either be seen as a Ammaj7 (i.e. Gmmaj7 465444 in the song). The logical continuation would then be Am7 \u2013 D, which could eventually lead back to C again, either directly or by way of G7 \u2013 something like this (the next few examples are of course constructions, just to provide possible, working continuations):\n\n\nWhen they [Am7] came for Him in the garden, did they [D7] know? (etc.)\n\nOr it could be regarded as a variant of E, which would work as the dominant of Am, with possible continuations to F or back to Am again:\n\n\nWhen they [F] came for Him in the [D/f] garden, did they [G7] know?\n\nIt could even be seen as a variant of C itself, which might have continued like this:\n\nWhen they [C] came for Him in the [G] garden, did they [Am] know? [C/g]\n\nWhen they [F] came for Him in the [C/e] garden, did they [D7] know? [G7]\n\nThe reason for this wide array of possible interpretations is that the chord I\u2019ve called [?] is an augmented chord, i.e. a chord where the fifth step \u2013 G in this case \u2013 is raised a semitone (one fret). This gives a chord which consists of three equal intervals \u2013 major thirds or four semitones \u2013 and they may in principle be stacked whichever way you want. The tones in the chord are c, e, and g, and depending on which tone is given priority and is interpreted as the key note, it can either be heard as a C (c-e-g) , an E (e-g-b) or a G(or A) (g-b-d, or A-c-e). In each of the alternatives, the fifth is altered, for extra flavour. The Ammaj7 option is basically a variant of the C interpretation.\n\nNow, the C and E interpretations are both well within the limits of the main tonality, as the examples above will show: they don\u2019t really stand out, and they don\u2019t cause major disturbances in the tonal fundaments of the song. This is because they are both united to C through their common \u2018relative\u2019, Am.\n\nWhat Dylan does in In The Garden, however, is to choose the third alternative, G, which is a much bigger step. True, it is \u2018just\u2019 a matter of going in the opposite direction of E, and, true, it is used, occasionally (the James Bond theme comes to mind), but the effect is much more spectacular than the turn to E.\n\nOnce the augmented chord has been interpreted as a G, the whole trick is done: we are now in the key of G\u2013 for a little while. But first the chord is reinterpreted again. In the following line:\n\n\nWhen they [Cm] came for Him in the [Gaug] garden, did they [E] know? [F]\n\nboth of the Gaug chords could be played as plain G, but as an augmented chord, it is already almost an E, which is where it immediately goes to. So one might say that Dylan repeats the trick: he has shifted the whole key of the song down in two leaps, first from C to A/G, then further down to E \u2013 both times in the unexpected direction. The rest of the song is laboriously working its way up again, step by step, whole tone by whole tone: E, F, G, A, and finally back to C again.\n\nThe E doesn\u2019t live long enough to take on the role of \u2018tonal centre\u2019 on its own \u2013 it appears as an episode within the larger Gepisode. But one might call it, slightly figuratively speaking, the collecting of the energy necessary for the ascent through the keys back to C again.\n\nIf we stay with the \u2018energy to run up the stairs\u2019 metaphor, this will account for the end as well: the melody has reached the top, but needs an extra step in order to gain balance and to really be able to come to a halt \u2013 it is not enough just to rush up through the keys \u2013 an ending \u2018needs\u2019 something more to be felt like an ending, and the final flourish, after the singing is over, is what accomplishes that.\n\nThank you for your attention, will the last one to leave please wipe the blackboard.<|endoftext|>How WhiteLab Genomics is using AI to aid gene and cell therapy development\n\nHow WhiteLab Genomics is using AI to aid gene and cell therapy development_63207bf119695.jpeg\n\nFrench biotech company WhiteLab Genomics has raised $10 million in funding for an AI platform designed to aid the discovery and development of genomic therapies.\n\nFounded out of Paris in 2019, recent Y Combinator (YC) graduate WhiteLab Genomics provide gene and cell therapy companies with predictive software simulations to expedite the design of gene and cell therapies.

In times of change, conflicts are likely to increase. If we understand the process and dynamics of conflict, we are better able to deal with a given situation. Moreover, how we deal with conflict situations will determine whether we achieve creative or destructive results. Some of the basics to keep in mind regarding conflict include the following:\n\n \u2022 Human beings see things often not as things are, but as who they are. Our evaluations tend to be subjective.\n \u2022 Simplicity does not mean unimportance. The simple and the complex can co-exist side by side.\n \u2022 Conflict is a normal part of life. This does not make it right, correct, or justified. It just is that way.\n \u2022 Dealing with conflict involves two responses \u2014 automatic and learned. Automatic responses include anger, fear, and rejection. These are a part of who you are and your personality. Learned responses offer you a choice when conflict arises.\n \u2022 The automatic response to conflict may or may not be alterable. Everyone can change but you must be willing to do so.\n \u2022 The learned response to conflict can impact your whole life. Conflict and its sibling, stress, put people into hospitals and graves every day. That can be changed.\n \u2022 Humans have certain styles of behavior that dictate our automatic response to conflict. Personality style affects how we react to all life situations. Dealing with conflict is dealing with people.\n \u2022 Humans want to resolve their conflicts. Communication is essential for human beings. And with communication, conflict resolution is not far behind.\n\nPsychology breaks conflicts into four general types.\n\nApproach-Approach Conflicts. These are good news conflicts. They involve choices which have to be made from two or more desirable alternatives. These are usually the easiest to resolve.\n\nAvoidance-Avoidance Conflicts. These are bad news conflicts. In these conflicts both choices are unpleasant. These are the most difficult to resolve.\n\nApproach-Avoidance Conflicts. These are conflicts that look like good news, but are really bad news. These are difficult because both attraction and repulsion are involved. Often the response to these conflicts is to do nothing.\n\nDouble Approach-Avoidance Conflicts. These are good news and bad news conflicts. The choices both have positive and negative pulls to them. Resolution is not easy in these conflicts because there is a tendency to waver between the choices. These are the most common conflicts.\n\nDifferences in attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors can result in conflict. And when differences become disagreements, conflict can evolve. Conflict would not occur without one essential ingredient however, and that ingredient is power. Power is the underlying issue in the majority of conflicts. It is the driving force in many adversarial situations. It plays a number of roles in matters where differences are at issue.\n\nPower is the ability to do or to affect something or someone. Power is an individual's potential to influence. Differences that have the potential to escalate into a destructive conflict usually involve the issue of power. Power takes two forms: positional and personal. An individual who induces compliance from others because of their status within an organization has positional power. Influence derived from personality, gender, race, education, and behavior is said to be personal power. While some individuals possess both, others possess none at all.\n\nPower is finite \u2014 with respect to resolving differences, it does not have to be perceived in a negative light. Authority is a distinct type of power that finds its base by default, that is, the individual's formal role within an organization. Power can be a matter of perception and therefore is a central component of differences. All of us should realize that we have one or more power bases and that these power bases can shift based on matters of difference. We frequently have choices whether or not to use our power bases to effectively and equitably resolve differences.\n\nKnowing the sources of our power, we can be effective when we choose to use our power bases. The following are the most widely accepted power bases.\n\n \u2022 Coercive Power is based on fear.\n \u2022 Connection Power is based on an individual's personal or professional connection with influential or important people.\n \u2022 Reward Power is based on an individual's ability to reward others.\n \u2022 Legitimate Power is based on an individual's authoritative position.\n \u2022 Referent Power is based on personal traits and characteristics.\n \u2022 Information Power is based on an individual's possession of, or access to, information that is valuable to others.\n \u2022 Expert Power is based on education, knowledge, and possession of expertise or skills that influence others.\n\nWhat is important is that an individual who tries to influence a group uses the appropriate power base to legitimately persuade others.\n\nConflicts may arise when differences are not acknowledged, dealt with, and resolved. Differences are viewed as negative factors in conflict resolution. Four sources of differences include: (1) Facts and information. When differences of information or facts are at issue, two parties can see the same facts differently or can disagree on what the facts are. This is the easiest level to manage because it can usually be resolved by sharing information or producing data that are more reliable. (2) Methods. This level presumes there is an agreed-upon common goal. Disagreements are about which strategies will be used to reach the goal. The key is to agree on an acceptable strategy. (3) Goals. Differences occur about achieving specific outcomes in basic goals. Disagreements often center on what should be done. Collaboration, negotiation, and resolution skills can help resolve differences. (4) Values. This is the most difficult to resolve. While the others deal with tangibles, value differences deal with ideology, basic principles, and beliefs. People identify strongly with their values and can be very resistant to changing them.\n\nDifferent resolution strategies are classified into avoidance, diffusion, and confrontation. Some people attempt to avoid differences or difficult situations altogether. Although avoidance may cover up differences, it does not leave the individual satisfied. Avoiding resolving differences is detrimental to an individual's ability to develop negotiation skills and the self-confidence required to resolve difficult situations. Diffusion delays action, at least temporarily. It can be used to \"muddy the waters\" which renders confrontation impossible. As with avoidance strategies, diffusion leaves a person dissatisfied and lacking in self-confidence. Confrontation involves facing the differences head on and its strategies involve power and negotiation.\n\nConflicts occur when differences are not properly managed or resolved. When this happens, the parties view one another as the enemy. As hostility increases, communication ceases to function and differences can become completely irreconcilable. We must learn to \"unpack\" and assess the situation. In the unpacking process, we use communication tools to resolve differences and disagreements. We must determine how we define the problem and the attitudes people possess about a potential conflict.\n\nFive styles are appropriate for managing differences and resolving conflict. (1) Competition is a power-oriented, win-lose approach. You use whatever power you have available to win. (2) Accommodation is the opposite of competition. When accommodating, you neglect your own differences and yield to those of the other person. (3) Avoidance is postponing the airing of any differences. By avoidance, you choose not to resolve any differences and in this way avoid a confrontation. (4) Compromise is splitting the difference \u2014 seeking a middle ground. Both parties get some, but not all, of what they want. (5) Collaboration is win-win, aimed at finding the best possible solution that satisfies the needs of both parties.\n\nThere are always several possible solutions to a conflict. The alternative to developing choices is an \"all or nothing\" mindset. All or nothing players end up with \"nothing\" far more often than they end up with \"all.\" Conflicts are not won \u2014 they are resolved. Resolving involves a permanent disposition of the matter. It means that while people may not be totally happy with the result, they all agree it is over. Resolving means agreeing that choices between potential solutions are desirable.\n\nWhat determines which of the possible solutions to a conflict is best? The answer is to choose the best workable choice from the possibilities that are available. Then this best workable solution needs to be communicated in a manner that makes it certain to be received. The art of active listening becomes an essential element in this communication process. Most studies indicate that very few people listen. Instead, they are interpreting, judging, preparing their own position, or thinking about something else entirely.\n\nResolving conflict is about preserving relationships. This process requires that parties acknowledge each other and make every reasonable attempt to look at the value in their relationship and how important that", "base_doc": " process.

Some of the basics to keep in mind regarding conflict include the following:\n\n \u2022 Human beings see things often not as things are, but as who they are. Our evaluations tend to be subjective.\n \u2022 Simplicity does not mean unimportance. The simple and the complex can co-exist side by side.\n \u2022 Conflict is a normal part of life. This does not make it right, correct, or justified. It just is that way.\n \u2022 Dealing with conflict involves two responses \u2014 automatic and learned. Automatic responses include anger, fear, and rejection. These are a part of who you are and your personality. Learned responses offer you a choice when conflict arises.\n \u2022 The automatic response to conflict may or may not be alterable. Everyone can change but you must be willing to do so.\n \u2022 The learned response to conflict can impact your whole life. Conflict and its sibling, stress, put people into hospitals and graves every day. That can be changed.\n \u2022 Humans have certain styles of behavior that dictate our automatic response to conflict. Personality style affects how we react to all life situations. Dealing with conflict is dealing with people.\n \u2022 Humans want to resolve their conflicts. Communication is essential for human beings. And with communication, conflict resolution is not far behind.\n\nPsychology breaks conflicts into four general types.\n\nApproach-Approach Conflicts. These are good news conflicts. They involve choices which have to be made from two or more desirable alternatives. These are usually the easiest to resolve.\n\nAvoidance-Avoidance Conflicts. These are bad news conflicts. In these conflicts both choices are unpleasant. These are the most difficult to resolve.\n\nApproach-Avoidance Conflicts. These are conflicts that look like good news, but are really bad news. These are difficult because both attraction and repulsion are involved. Often the response to these conflicts is to do nothing.\n\nDouble Approach-Avoidance Conflicts. These are good news and bad news conflicts. The choices both have positive and negative pulls to them. Resolution is not easy in these conflicts because there is a tendency to waver between the choices. These are the most common conflicts.\n\nDifferences in attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors can result in conflict. And when differences become disagreements, conflict can evolve. Conflict would not occur without one essential ingredient however, and that ingredient is power. Power is the underlying issue in the majority of conflicts. It is the driving force in many adversarial situations. It plays a number of roles in matters where differences are at issue.\n\nPower is the ability to do or to affect something or someone. Power is an individual's potential to influence. Differences that have the potential to escalate into a destructive conflict usually involve the issue of power. Power takes two forms: positional and personal. An individual who induces compliance from others because of their status within an organization has positional power. Influence derived from personality, gender, race, education, and behavior is said to be personal power. While some individuals possess both, others possess none at all.\n\nPower is finite \u2014 with respect to resolving differences, it does not have to be perceived in a negative light. Authority is a distinct type of power that finds its base by default, that is, the individual's formal role within an organization. Power can be a matter of perception and therefore is a central component of differences. All of us should realize that we have one or more power bases and that these power bases can shift based on matters of difference. We frequently have choices whether or not to use our power bases to effectively and equitably resolve differences.\n\nKnowing the sources of our power, we can be effective when we choose to use our power bases. The following are the most widely accepted power bases.\n\n \u2022 Coercive Power is based on fear.\n \u2022 Connection Power is based on an individual's personal or professional connection with influential or important people.\n \u2022 Reward Power is based on an individual's ability to reward others.\n \u2022 Legitimate Power is based on an individual's authoritative position.\n \u2022 Referent Power is based on personal traits and characteristics.\n \u2022 Information Power is based on an individual's possession of, or access to, information that is valuable to others.\n \u2022 Expert Power is based on education, knowledge, and possession of expertise or skills that influence others.\n\nWhat is important is that an individual who tries to influence a group uses the appropriate power base to legitimately persuade others.\n\nConflicts may arise when differences are not acknowledged, dealt with, and resolved. Differences are viewed as negative factors in conflict resolution. Four sources of differences include: (1) Facts and information. When differences of information or facts are at issue, two parties can see the same facts differently or can disagree on what the facts are. This is the easiest level to manage because it can usually be resolved by sharing information or producing data that are more reliable. (2) Methods. This level presumes there is an agreed-upon common goal. Disagreements are about which strategies will be used to reach the goal. The key is to agree on an acceptable strategy. (3) Goals. Differences occur about achieving specific outcomes in basic goals. Disagreements often center on what should be done. Collaboration, negotiation, and resolution skills can help resolve differences. (4) Values. This is the most difficult to resolve. While the others deal with tangibles, value differences deal with ideology, basic principles, and beliefs. People identify strongly with their values and can be very resistant to changing them.\n\nDifferent resolution strategies are classified into avoidance, diffusion, and confrontation. Some people attempt to avoid differences or difficult situations altogether. Although avoidance may cover up differences, it does not leave the individual satisfied. Avoiding resolving differences is detrimental to an individual's ability to develop negotiation skills and the self-confidence required to resolve difficult situations. Diffusion delays action, at least temporarily. It can be used to \"muddy the waters\" which renders confrontation impossible. As with avoidance strategies, diffusion leaves a person dissatisfied and lacking in self-confidence. Confrontation involves facing the differences head on and its strategies involve power and negotiation.\n\nConflicts occur when differences are not properly managed or resolved. When this happens, the parties view one another as the enemy. As hostility increases, communication ceases to function and differences can become completely irreconcilable. We must learn to \"unpack\" and assess the situation. In the unpacking process, we use communication tools to resolve differences and disagreements. We must determine how we define the problem and the attitudes people possess about a potential conflict.\n\nFive styles are appropriate for managing differences and resolving conflict. (1) Competition is a power-oriented, win-lose approach. You use whatever power you have available to win. (2) Accommodation is the opposite of competition. When accommodating, you neglect your own differences and yield to those of the other person. (3) Avoidance is postponing the airing of any differences. By avoidance, you choose not to resolve any differences and in this way avoid a confrontation. (4) Compromise is splitting the difference \u2014 seeking a middle ground. Both parties get some, but not all, of what they want. (5) Collaboration is win-win, aimed at finding the best possible solution that satisfies the needs of both parties.\n\nThere are always several possible solutions to a conflict. The alternative to developing choices is an \"all or nothing\" mindset. All or nothing players end up with \"nothing\" far more often than they end up with \"all.\" Conflicts are not won \u2014 they are resolved. Resolving involves a permanent disposition of the matter. It means that while people may not be totally happy with the result, they all agree it is over. Resolving means agreeing that choices between potential solutions are desirable.\n\nWhat determines which of the possible solutions to a conflict is best? The answer is to choose the best workable choice from the possibilities that are available. Then this best workable solution needs to be communicated in a manner that makes it certain to be received. The art of active listening becomes an essential element in this communication process. Most studies indicate that very few people listen. Instead, they are interpreting, judging, preparing their own position, or thinking about something else entirely.\n\nResolving conflict is about preserving relationships. This process requires that parties acknowledge each other and make every reasonable attempt to look at the value in their relationship and how important that may be even in the context of the conflict. Resolving disputes requires affirmation on the part of all parties that there is value in each of you as an individual, that there may be merit in the position of each, that each has different issues at stake, and that each desires the same thing deep down: resolution of the dispute and preservation of something between you.\n\nThe essence of conflict resolution is to honor the legitimate interests of all the persons involved. Preserve and protect the dignity of all that are involved in the conflict. This includes you. In a heated discussion, it's easy to say something demeaning. Keep your focus on issues, not personalities. When you show sincere respect for people who disagree with you, they will be less inclined to be defensive.\n\nWhen you listen to others' views, put yourself in their shoes. See from their perspective and listen with neutrality that suspends critical judgment. Give your full attention to appreciating why the other person sees the same situation differently from you. Be receptive to more than the words you hear.

Such techniques exploit semantic relations and hidden associations that occur as a result of the information overlapping among various concepts in multiple bioinformatics resources such as ontologies, websites and corpora. Thus, this work introduces a new method that reasons over different bioinformatics resources and then discovers and exploits different relations and information that may not exist in the original resources.

This project introduces these semantic-based methods as part of a recommendation service within a content-based system. Moreover, it uses specialists' interests to enhance the provided recommendations by employing a method that is collecting user data implicitly.

It moves through the breath.\nGroove = rhythmic patterns which motivate the body to move.\n\nThe melodic element of Prana Groove is based on Rag Malkauns \u2013 a profound raga which is to be played late at night (usually midnight) \u00a0based on a pentatonic (5 note) scale. The large intervals between the notes create an intense emotional effect on the listener.\n\nThe tempo is 108 beats per minute, chosen for it's sacred Sanskrit value and effect. There are 108 different yet interwoven musical phrases presented throughout the piece.\n\n\"I created this music as an adventure into the realm of energy and movement,\" Stevin McNamara explains. \"I used the ancient musical form of raga coupled with pulse and drum patterns found in trance and other traditions, such as Sufi Dervish ecstatic dance.

There are a number of reasons why banks have underperformed the wider market during 2016.

You see, banks\u2019 profitability is linked to interest rates or more accurately, the interest rate spread. The interest rate spread is the difference between the interest rate paid to depositors and charged to lenders. Typically, when interest rates are rising banks can earn a higher return by hiking the rate charged to borrowers while delaying any increases in interest paid to depositors. In today\u2019s world, this traditional model is almost impossible to operate. Lenders are competing for customers by slashing rates charged on loans, eating into the interest rate spread and profitability. What\u2019s more, some central banks around the world have introduced negative interest rates, implying that there\u2019s now a very real chance the interest rate spread could contract to uneconomic levels.\n\nIt\u2019s also fairly common for banks to invest customer deposits in government bonds, enabling the bank to achieve a higher return on capital for minimal effort. But once again, as the yields on government bonds around the world plunge, it\u2019s becoming harder to eke out a profit from this strategy.\n\nAll in all, the banking sector is facing a very hostile operating environment and while many European bank shares may now be trading for less than book value, unless there\u2019s a sudden improvement in the operating environment, these banks could be value traps.\n\nValue traps and better bets\n\nThe definition of a value trap is a stock that looks cheap after a recent dramatic fall in price but is actually still expensive compared to intrinsic value", "base_doc": " smoke alarms going off, if they did?

If you take any of the major European banks, their shares look cheap compared to historic multiples. However, the question investors need to answer is whether or not the shares still look cheap in today\u2019s hostile operating environment with interest rates at record lows?\n\nTrying to determine whether or not a stock is a value trap is a tricky process, and it could be a better strategy to avoid the financial sector altogether. Indeed, there are a vast number of companies outside the financial sector that look undervalued and have a brighter outlook for growth.\u00a0\n\nTake the property sector for example. Since Brexit, UK REITs have taken a pounding over concerns about the commercial property market. Some of these companies now trade at a 20% or more discount to net asset value, which seems undeserved. Retail stocks have also taken a pounding, despite relatively upbeat consumer sentiment, and many small-caps are now trading at rock bottom valuations that more than makeup for any uncertainty ahead.\n\nThe worst mistake you could make\n\n\n\n<|endoftext|>Auramarine: Shipowners Must Look Beyond 2020 Compliance Solutions\n\n\nBy MarEx 2019-03-01 20:09:53\n\nAuramarine, the leading provider of fuel supply systems for the marine and power industries, has today urged the marine sector to look beyond just the initial choice of compliance solution ahead of the impending", "perturbation_file": "copyright_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 109612, "pt_loc": 19982655, "pt_shuffle_idx": 13008021, "doc_index_f": 20387957, "doc_index_l": 20387962, "offset_f": 778, "offset_l": 69, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 280, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [247, 202, 829, 82, 619, 70]}

I was referring to the TV stuff, in my posts above I address that. Don't get all bent out of shape, I never said this was a bad device, but it's certainly not a killer device. It's a neat little box, but it doesn't offer anything truly compelling. If I want streaming TV, I'd use one of the umpteen Netflix enabled devices in my house. If I want to play on my console, I'd play on my console, there's no pressing need for me to wander to different TV's in my house and game there. But naturally each house has it's own needs. And if I wanted to play last gen console games I'd do it on a last gen console. You can probably get a used PS3 for the same price with more functionality. Nobody's ignoring facts about Sony's conference, the discussion here is on whether this article is accurate when it boldly stated Sony \"dominated\". The author seemed to think they did based on a misguided belief that all the games Sony announced were exclusives. asdeghaer Tue, 10 Jun 2014 16:46:38 -0400 Figures resident PlayStation fanboy 'Heavy' was the one to submit this crap on N4G. Sony lost, in spades, to both Nintendo and Microsoft. Nintendo won, but Microsoft still killed Sony. CG trailers for Sony, mostly multiplats, ONE AAA exclusive this winter, poached Miyazaki for an exclusive to screw of Dark Souls 2, The Order (while looking pretty) had a horrid presentation lacking any context, or any fun looking gameplay, VITATVTVTVMOVIESAPPS for 40 fucking minutes straight. Hey, at least they didn't bribe the media with PS+ subscriptions this year ON STAGE. Sony had 2 crap shows in a row, and that's saying something. Why can't people just admit that Sony sucks at console launches? The PS4 is a hype machine, not worth owning. Get over it fanboys, I'm sure it'll have games by the end of next year. Zac Tue, 10 Jun 2014 16:40:50 -0400 Please, tell us all how hypocritical they are. Brandz Top 100? Lol. Okay. They are a multi-billion dollar company, sold dozens of millions of PS3's, and are leading the next gen consoles tremendously with projected income in a year or two, which might come sooner because of popularity being much more than anticipated, which can make manufacturing cheaper. No one cares about Brandz Top 100. You only mention is because you stumbled upon it and want to find any possible justification to spread stupid insults. Zac Tue, 10 Jun 2014 16:33:53 -0400 X1 plays Vita games and streams PS4 video to another room? It is a Vita that plugs into your TV. It's part of the Vita market. This is for those that want it for convenience or those that don't already have a Vita. X1 doesn't have its capabilities. It doesn't play Vita games, it has a paywall, and it doesn't stream PS4 video or play PS Now titles. Seriously, every argument I see people just ignore that facts about Sony's conference and are like \"TV what? I hate it!\". Autonomous7 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 15:20:14 -0400 Your crazy! The majority of AAA titles are coming to both consoles. Sony it seems is playing catch up W/its features. I was planning on getting a PS4 after my XBOX 1 but Sony is really not offering much. And if you do your home work there is some games and features in the works for XBOX that look incredible. You must not own an XBOX 1, theres so much more to it than Halo.

Xbox has the better exclusives. As for Halo 5 coming out \"a full 2 years after\" the Xbox launched, guess what, Uncharted 4 is coming out \"a full 2 years after\" the PS4 launched. Totally biased article. Not professional. The Truth Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:22:40 -0400 They didn't domintate anything. They talked about Apps, TV, PSNow, BraviaTV's and all kinds of BS. The few exclusive games they showed were milking and beating a dead horse. They can't even live up to their 1080p 60fps or give me death threat. The people that didn't buy a Sony PauperStation this gen, where so many loser at real life fools did, already knew this was going to happen as they are one of the worst hypocritical companies on the planet and aren't even in the Brandz Top100 anymore, basically showing that they are worthless. stlbeastmode Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:12:15 -0400 I agree. I could care less about netflix or youtube streaming is on every device made now days. The remote play feature does kill console play in my experience (ps vita). I'm not sure about the ps now streaming which if it is included in the playstation plus bundle then would be cool. There are a few games from last gen that I would go back and play. For me I like the device. My ps4 is mounted on a shelf and connected to a HD Projector. So it is painful for me to pull and move. Everyone's situation is different. Just to be clear. I have every console made from Playstation 1 to now. I swing to no specific side. I like games on all consoles and this additional device isn't going to break the bank. Its a nice device depending on its dependencies (if a ps4 is required). If you can buy it and just get ps now, its 1 hell of a deal for a casual gamer. teets Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:02:54 -0400 and/or flame-bait. Allan Kaliel Tue, 10 Jun 2014 13:48:36 -0400 For myself the comparison I was making was the TV streaming. Although, for both the Xbox and PS4 I'm not terribly impressed, especially when Netflix has an app on everything in our homes already. There seems little reason to stream an episode of a TV show for a couple bucks on my Xbox or PS when I either get it on regular cable TV or Netflix already. Other than that the PSTV can stream PS4 games, and I'm assuming the PS4 can't be used by someone else during this, or for PS Now streaming, which it is pretty cool I suppose. But, I'm not too excited about playing last gen games as other folks are. I'm not saying Sony didn't have a good presentation, I just don't think there was anything \"dominating\" about it. For the most part, they each gave us a sneak peak at the latest AAA games, and in a lot of cases that was dominated by pre-rendered cutscenes (which I hate for these types of presentations, I want to see what the game looks like, not what Hollywood effects studio's can create.)

They're going through a major restructuring to try and get out of the red. They've lost billions over the last several years. Allan Kaliel Tue, 10 Jun 2014 16:55:41 -0400 Of course not. I was referring to the TV stuff, in my posts above I address that. Don't get all bent out of shape, I never said this was a bad device, but it's certainly not a killer device. It's a neat little box, but it doesn't offer anything truly compelling. If I want streaming TV, I'd use one of the umpteen Netflix enabled devices in my house. If I want to play on my console, I'd play on my console, there's no pressing need for me to wander to different TV's in my house and game there. But naturally each house has it's own needs. And if I wanted to play last gen console games I'd do it on a last gen console. You can probably get a used PS3 for the same price with more functionality. Nobody's ignoring facts about Sony's conference, the discussion here is on whether this article is accurate when it boldly stated Sony \"dominated\". The author seemed to think they did based on a misguided belief that all the games Sony announced were exclusives. asdeghaer Tue, 10 Jun 2014 16:46:38 -0400 Figures resident PlayStation fanboy 'Heavy' was the one to submit this crap on N4G. Sony lost, in spades, to both Nintendo and Microsoft. Nintendo won, but Microsoft still killed Sony. CG trailers for Sony, mostly multiplats, ONE AAA exclusive this winter, poached Miyazaki for an exclusive to screw of Dark Souls 2, The Order (while looking pretty) had a horrid presentation lacking any context, or any fun looking gameplay, VITATVTVTVMOVIESAPPS for 40 fucking minutes straight. Hey, at least they didn't bribe the media with PS+ subscriptions this year ON STAGE. Sony had 2 crap shows in a row, and that's saying something. Why can't people just admit that Sony sucks at console launches? The PS4 is a hype machine, not worth owning. Get over it fanboys, I'm sure it'll have games by the end of next year. Zac Tue, 10 Jun 2014 16:40:50 -0400 Please, tell us all how hypocritical they are. Brandz Top 100? Lol. Okay. They are a multi-billion dollar company, sold dozens of millions of PS3's, and are leading the next gen consoles tremendously with projected income in a year or two, which might come sooner because of popularity being much more than anticipated, which can make manufacturing cheaper. No one cares about Brandz Top 100. You only mention is because you stumbled upon it and want to find any possible justification to spread stupid insults. Zac Tue, 10 Jun 2014 16:33:53 -0400 X1 plays Vita games and streams PS4 video to another room? It is a Vita that plugs into your TV. It's part of the Vita market. This is for those that want it for convenience or those that don't already have a Vita. X1 doesn't have its capabilities. It doesn't play Vita games, it has a paywall, and it doesn't stream PS4 video or play PS Now titles. Seriously, every argument I see people just ignore that facts about Sony's conference and are like \"TV what? I hate it!\". Autonomous7 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 15:20:14 -0400 Your crazy! The majority of AAA titles are coming to both consoles. Sony it seems is playing catch up W/its features. I was planning on getting a PS4 after my XBOX 1 but Sony is really not offering much. And if you do your home work there is some games and features in the works for XBOX that look incredible. You must not own an XBOX 1, theres so much more to it than Halo. Microsoft has listened to the people and turned it around theres so much coming im truly excited!! AlexH Tue, 10 Jun 2014 15:08:13 -0400 Alexh Tue, 10 Jun 2014 15:03:37 -0400 sony fanboy alert. lol AlexH Tue, 10 Jun 2014 15:01:18 -0400 Lol most of the titles this editor mentioned are also coming for Xbox as well. Xbox has the better exclusives. As for Halo 5 coming out \"a full 2 years after\" the Xbox launched, guess what, Uncharted 4 is coming out \"a full 2 years after\" the PS4 launched. Totally biased article. Not professional. The Truth Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:22:40 -0400 They didn't domintate anything. They talked about Apps, TV, PSNow, BraviaTV's and all kinds of BS. The few exclusive games they showed were milking and beating a dead horse. They can't even live up to their 1080p 60fps or give me death threat. The people that didn't buy a Sony PauperStation this gen, where so many loser at real life fools did, already knew this was going to happen as they are one of the worst hypocritical companies on the planet and aren't even in the Brandz Top100 anymore, basically showing that they are worthless. stlbeastmode Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:12:15 -0400 I agree. I could care less about netflix or youtube streaming is on every device made now days. The remote play feature does kill console play in my experience (ps vita). I'm not sure about the ps now streaming which if it is included in the playstation plus bundle then would be cool. There are a few games from last gen that I would go back and play. For me I like the device. My ps4 is mounted on a shelf and connected to a HD Projector. So it is painful for me to pull and move. Everyone's situation is different. Just to be clear. I have every console made from Playstation 1 to now. I swing to no specific side. I like games on all consoles and this additional device isn't going to break the bank. Its a nice device depending on its dependencies (if a ps4 is required). If you can buy it and just get ps now, its 1 hell of a deal for a casual gamer. teets Tue, 10 Jun 2014 14:02:54 -0400 and/or flame-bait. Allan Kaliel Tue, 10 Jun 2014 13:48:36 -0400 For myself the comparison I was making was the TV streaming. Although, for both the Xbox and PS4 I'm not terribly impressed, especially when Netflix has an app on everything in our homes already. There seems little reason to stream an episode of a TV show for a couple bucks on my Xbox or PS when I either get it on regular cable TV or Netflix already. Other than that the PSTV can stream PS4 games, and I'm assuming the PS4 can't be used by someone else during this, or for PS Now streaming, which it is pretty cool I suppose.

Allan Kaliel Tue, 10 Jun 2014 13:34:39 -0400 Nobody's mad, confused is more like. Both Sony and MS showcased a number of games, some exclusive, most not. There was nothing \"dominating\" about either presentation. The Playstation TV isn't exactly groundbreaking, nor painting the console white. It seems like Dave felt that all the games Sony previewed were exclusives. If that were the case, then yes, I'd agree with him.

I gave this as a starting point, not law! I can price my work this way because I have the manpower, equipment and resourses to buy in large quanities. This reduces my cost but I still use the book price. Also depending on the plant material some plants are priced at 3 or 4 time what the book lists. If I buy a 100 3" white ash at $175 ea. and install them for $350 each, my gross profit is $175 now I subtract the 15 minutes it takes my men to install the plant and the $5 it cost me to have it transported to the job, not counting overhead I've still made $160. Now the end of the year comes along and the nursery gives me 15% of what I spent there my overhead is covered my net $160 not too bad.
Are my prices way too low, not by the bid sheets that I get every week, My numbers are right in the ball park for the work that I do.

And I really had hoped that I would have an easy baby this time around. Miriam was so chill, I guess when I got another girl I was hoping it meant another chill one. And Jackie is severely unchill. She is fun too, at last, and I'm grateful I can play with her and exchange smiles and all that. But she is really, really demanding. I would have thought a fourth child would shrug its little baby shoulders and say \"guess I can't be high needs, with all these other kids around here,\" but nope, high needs babies don't care how many resources there are around.
How high needs is she? Well, she spends probably half an hour per day on average wailing inconsolably, even in arms. Sometimes it's a lot more than that. Even when she's not crying, she's not contented -- she spends a lot of her time climbing up my body, digging her feet into my gut and clawing my face. I have a scab on my nose where she took a chunk of skin off -- even though I'm pretty careful to cut her nails, obviously. I have scratches and pinch marks on my belly and breasts and neck. But if I put her down, usually, she howls. Sometimes the swing helps. Sometimes not. It's good that she's getting more active so she can actually play -- Miriam and Jackie and I spend a lot of the time in the playroom while she crawls all over. If you turn over the trampoline so she can't climb on it and fall off, and make sure the legos are put away, there isn't much trouble she can get into in there. Even then, though, she spends a lot of her time using me to pull to a stand, then grabbing my face or hair.
I'm just kind of looking forward to things getting easier. Like when she's two, or maybe three. I've never had no kids under three. Imagine the things I could do.
And there she goes. Awake again. In the time she was asleep, I wrote point 7. I did not clean up the lunch mess in the kitchen, or use the bathroom, or carry the laundry upstairs. I prioritized this post, and I may be sorry.
On the other hand, she has a blond curl on the top of her head. Were my other kids this blond at this age, and was their hair so long? It could not have been. *rubs face in baby hair* It's not all bad.

Trying to think of words to describe Miriam, I feel like I can't without talking first about what a dark place it was she brought light into. It was, in many ways, a bad time to get pregnant; Michael was still extremely needy and I felt I couldn't possibly handle another so soon. I spent a big chunk of the pregnancy crying. My page-a-day journal has several months of blankness where I would try to think of something to put down for the day but couldn't think of anything that wasn't horribly depressing.
Her labor was a horrifyingly stressful experience, but she arrived in the middle of misery and was perfect from the first moment. Her first achievement was being a girl -- I had tried and tried not to get my hopes up, but I really wanted a girl and there she was. She was healthy, dark, and blue-eyed, just like all of them.
The first weeks of her life were a nightmare for me -- sickness among the family, stepping on a bee, fights breaking out among her brothers -- but she, herself, was zero trouble. Mostly she slept and ate. She had no trouble nursing at all; she liked nursing but wasn't ridiculous about it like Michael. She was several weeks old before she ever cried. That includes her baptism and the heel stick by the midwife. At most she might make a little fussy sound. She just wasn't fazed by much.

Take a moment to think about this: Bourne only exists because it is a James Bond rip-off. Also, can anyone explain to me what the fuck was the plot in Bourne 2? Don't get me wrong, I like Matt Damon, but I don't have a fucking clue what happened in that movie. I saw lots of shapes flashing around on a screen for a couple of hours though, I'm glad I don't have epilepsy.
Finally, I would just like to add that Daniel Craig is an excellent Bond because, for a change, he actually looks like someone who could jump over a roof onto a truck and punch you through the windscreen. Whilst being a proper 'theatre' actor. I thought Quantum was excellent because of its realism. And I still love the old Bonds. I have no problem with that.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 2:32 a.m. CST\n\n correction: \"rip off\"\n\n by Ray Gamma\n\n sorry for my spelling.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 2:38 a.m. CST\n\n Quantum of Solace....\n\n by D o o d\n\n Daniel Craig is an awesome actor but even he can't save this turd.

I'm also kind of \"eh\" on this one, you can only tune out after awhile when it's all action and the character development was in the preceding movie (this flick does go differently to old school World Domination / Secret Organization on us), so on it's own it's not all that great. But slap it together with Casino, and you have a satisfying end to a movie that was kind of anti-climatic in the first place. On it's own, not so great, but it'll probably play better on DVD with Casino Royale.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 2:47 a.m. CST\n\n Also, WTF was with the bowl cut dude?\n\n by TallBoy66\n\n Seriously, I kept waiting the whole movie for this wig-wearing guy to bust out some crazy fucking Oddjob / Jaws, hell, even a Xina Onatop badass stuff, and the guy does JACK SHIT the whole movie then just gets blow up at the end.

There was a good second long shot of her struggling to get out of the bed where her legs open wide and there are NO panties on, and you clearly see her vagina. I did a double take and confirmed with my three friends. Did anyone else see this? and how the hell did it get into a PG-13 MOVIE?!\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 3:07 a.m. CST\n\n Quantum has one shot at a strong $ weekend\n\n by Rocco Curioso\n\n I'd bet my last dollar that it, and everything else, is gonna get severely bitchslapped by \"Twilight\" next weekend. Never underestimate the power of teenage girls en masse.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 3:08 a.m. CST\n\n This movie is so incredibly BALLSY.\n\n\n It's so refined and classy and totally not a crowd-pleaser - a huge risk for this franchise and I suspect it will piss a lot of people off. If we were to compare the last two Bond films to other art forms, Casino Royale would be a rock opera. Quantum of Solace would be a poem. Yes, the shift is quite drastic. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but if you enjoy more nuanced work that's delicately shaded, you'll love this film. I don't want to get too crazy here, but this is the closest thing we're going to get to Kubrick directing a Bond film. The opera scene... wow. I had a lot of problems with it (for one, the theme song - which I like - is completely wrong for this story) and a few of the cast members completely phone it in. But Quantum of Solace will be held in higher esteem each passing year. It's so incredibly intimate and it caught me off guard. I hope the next film finds a happy medium between these two, but they should force Craig to sign a 10 film deal right now. He's that good. Go see this movie, but know what you're getting into.\n\n\n Mori nailed it. QoS rocked\n\n by wildphantom07\n\n I actually dig that people are split on it. It separates the side that want this stuff taken seriously, and the side that want all the in-jokery.
I loved Quantum of Solace. I was expecting it to be pretty good, but when it turned out to be a terrific movie I came out soaring.
Bottom line - if Moonraker's one of your favourite Bond movies then you'll be disappointed. But if you're one that prefers the early Connery and liked the direction Casino Royale hinted at the series going then I think you'll be pretty happy.
Ebert's review was a joke. Everyone's got their own idea of what a Bond movie should be - but for a movie critic to not review the film infront of them is pretty pathetic. Don't bemoan what isn't in it and concentrate on what is. There's some excellent filmmaking going on in Solace. Like someone above pointed out - he liked Casino for the reasons he's criticising QoS for? Go figure - jeez\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 3:20 a.m. CST\n\n Moriarty just said he LOOKED liked Polanski.\n\n by WhinyNegativeBitch\n\n When Almaric showed up in Munich, I half thought for a second it was Polanski. I'm sure his character doesn't sodomise any little girls in this. Casino Royale is the only Bond I can stand to watch, and this looks like an attempt at more of the same that falls flat, which appears to be the general consensus.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 3", "base_doc": ". CST\n\n\n by mynemaborat\n\n why does he have to say he liked certain movies?? are u daft man? cos harry's on the take from certain studios! its not exactly subtle... and it doesn't bother me at all, because this is a blog, not the work of a professional film critic. and no the sarcasm and disdain i'm talking about has to do with the movie, not the audience. \"General Medrano (Joaquin Cosio) who\u2019s a really greasy sweaty scummy bad guy, complete with attempted rape scene, so you know he\u2019s really, reeeeally bad, and he killed her family when she was a child and so now he\u2019s going to die. She tries a few times. That\u2019s the plot for Camille. Seems solid enough to me.\" \"and then serial killer James Bond goes on a hilarious rampage across the globe, racking up a wicked body count in his effort to savagely strangle some answers out of the world at large\" \"Mathieu Amalric, so brilliant in THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY, does hilarious and slimy work as Roman Polanski.\" its pretty damn obvious what he's saying. and how bout this little gem... \"Of course it has a plot. Things happen. By definition, that\u2019s a plot.\" when mori says something so totally un-mori like such as that, then u know somethings up.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 2:12 a.m. CST\n\n Daniel Craig\n\n by kwisatzhaderach\n\n is boring in this film.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 2:21 a.m. CST\n\n Roger Ebert's review\n\n by BillEmic\n\n was a complete joke. The thing about the Bond movies is, when they do something really light and fluffy like \"Die Another Day,\" the critics go \"This is all well and fun but one wonders what kind of heights the Bond character could reach if filmmakers took him seriously.\" Then when the producers DO take the series seriously, the critics go, \"Oh, but this isn't fun at all! Bond should be about gadgets and secret hideouts and shagging babes!\" It's damned if you do, damned if you don't. The only thing that matters is audience reception and so far diehard Bond fans like me have been loving this more serious and artsy take on Bond.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 2:31 a.m. CST\n\n\n by Ray Gamma\n\n Every time someone says \"aw, they're just trying to rip of Bourne\"....
Take a moment to think about this: Bourne only exists because it is a James Bond rip-off. Also, can anyone explain to me what the fuck was the plot in Bourne 2? Don't get me wrong, I like Matt Damon, but I don't have a fucking clue what happened in that movie. I saw lots of shapes flashing around on a screen for a couple of hours though, I'm glad I don't have epilepsy.
Finally, I would just like to add that Daniel Craig is an excellent Bond because, for a change, he actually looks like someone who could jump over a roof onto a truck and punch you through the windscreen. Whilst being a proper 'theatre' actor. I thought Quantum was excellent because of its realism. And I still love the old Bonds. I have no problem with that.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 2:32 a.m. CST\n\n correction: \"rip off\"\n\n by Ray Gamma\n\n sorry for my spelling.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 2:38 a.m. CST\n\n Quantum of Solace....\n\n by D o o d\n\n Daniel Craig is an awesome actor but even he can't save this turd. This film is rediculous and boring.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 2:42 a.m. CST\n\n Shoulda been called \"Casino Royale: The Third Act\"\n\n by TallBoy66\n\n Basically, put the movies back to back and you have one almost 4 hour Bond movie. I'm also kind of \"eh\" on this one, you can only tune out after awhile when it's all action and the character development was in the preceding movie (this flick does go differently to old school World Domination / Secret Organization on us), so on it's own it's not all that great. But slap it together with Casino, and you have a satisfying end to a movie that was kind of anti-climatic in the first place. On it's own, not so great, but it'll probably play better on DVD with Casino Royale.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 2:47 a.m. CST\n\n Also, WTF was with the bowl cut dude?\n\n by TallBoy66\n\n Seriously, I kept waiting the whole movie for this wig-wearing guy to bust out some crazy fucking Oddjob / Jaws, hell, even a Xina Onatop badass stuff, and the guy does JACK SHIT the whole movie then just gets blow up at the end. Motherfucker!!!\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 3:05 a.m. CST\n\n\n by master bitchfist\n\n Myself and 3 friends ALL saw the vagina of the woman the general was trying to rape. There was a good second long shot of her struggling to get out of the bed where her legs open wide and there are NO panties on, and you clearly see her vagina. I did a double take and confirmed with my three friends. Did anyone else see this? and how the hell did it get into a PG-13 MOVIE?!\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 3:07 a.m. CST\n\n Quantum has one shot at a strong $ weekend\n\n by Rocco Curioso\n\n I'd bet my last dollar that it, and everything else, is gonna get severely bitchslapped by \"Twilight\" next weekend. Never underestimate the power of teenage girls en masse.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 3:08 a.m. CST\n\n This movie is so incredibly BALLSY.\n\n\n It's so refined and classy and totally not a crowd-pleaser - a huge risk for this franchise and I suspect it will piss a lot of people off. If we were to compare the last two Bond films to other art forms, Casino Royale would be a rock opera. Quantum of Solace would be a poem. Yes, the shift is quite drastic. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but if you enjoy more nuanced work that's delicately shaded, you'll love this film. I don't want to get too crazy here, but this is the closest thing we're going to get to Kubrick directing a Bond film. The opera scene... wow. I had a lot of problems with it (for one, the theme song - which I like - is completely wrong for this story) and a few of the cast members completely phone it in. But Quantum of Solace will be held in higher esteem each passing year. It's so incredibly intimate and it caught me off guard. I hope the next film finds a happy medium between these two, but they should force Craig to sign a 10 film deal right now. He's that good. Go see this movie, but know what you're getting into.\n\n\n Mori nailed it. QoS rocked\n\n by wildphantom07\n\n I actually dig that people are split on it. It separates the side that want this stuff taken seriously, and the side that want all the in-jokery.
I loved Quantum of Solace. I was expecting it to be pretty good, but when it turned out to be a terrific movie I came out soaring.
Bottom line - if Moonraker's one of your favourite Bond movies then you'll be disappointed. But if you're one that prefers the early Connery and liked the direction Casino Royale hinted at the series going then I think you'll be pretty happy.
Ebert's review was a joke. Everyone's got their own idea of what a Bond movie should be - but for a movie critic to not review the film infront of them is pretty pathetic. Don't bemoan what isn't in it and concentrate on what is. There's some excellent filmmaking going on in Solace. Like someone above pointed out - he liked Casino for the reasons he's criticising QoS for? Go figure - jeez\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 3:20 a.m. CST\n\n Moriarty just said he LOOKED liked Polanski.\n\n by WhinyNegativeBitch\n\n When Almaric showed up in Munich, I half thought for a second it was Polanski. I'm sure his character doesn't sodomise any little girls in this. Casino Royale is the only Bond I can stand to watch, and this looks like an attempt at more of the same that falls flat, which appears to be the general consensus.\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 3:26 a.m. CST\n\n Roger Ebert gave it 2/4 stars\n\n by Prossor\n\n \u2022 Nov. 14, 2008, 3:31 a.m. CST\n\n it's a great film....\n\n by Gabba-UK\n\n and I'm getting some real stick defending it at the moment.

It's not just an app; it's a subscription service that comprises a suite of programs that replaces one's regular apps to make calls, send texts, emails and even do videoconferencing, for $10 a month. The apps use end-to-end encryption to ensure that the communication between two Silent Circle users is secure and impossible to read, except by their intended recipients.\n\nThe service biggest strength is that it's supposed to be easy to use, and since day one, its creators have had in mind the lessons of the past. While PGP is the gold standard to encrypt data, even after 20 years, it's still very hard to use for regular computer users. Now the idea is to make privacy-enhancing tools easy for everybody to use.\n\n\"Not everyone is a crypto geek, and so there is a need to curate the experience,\" says Zimmermann. \"You know how Steve Jobs talks about curated computing? Well, this is curated crypto.\"\n\nVinnie Moscaritolo, Silent Circle's \"distinguished member of technical staff,\" echoes the same concept, saying that they \"intentionally make [Silent Circle] look like regular apps you use.\" Because the idea is that \"you just sit down and you use it.\"\n\nIts other big strength is that the keys, used to encrypt and decrypt the communications, aren't managed by Silent Circle itself. So technically, not even the company can know what two users are telling or writing each other. Silent Circle uses the so-called Public Key cryptography, a scheme that allows two people to swap keys and communicate securely, preventing a snooper from interceptinging their communications. (To know more about how this works, watch the below video.)\n\nThis is the main security feature of the service. Zimmermann and the other founders have built it in a way that retains the very least amount of data on its users. Even if the feds or the NSA come knocking on Silent Circle's door, they can't give them much. In fact, to register for the service you don't even have to provide your name, and Silent Circle currently doesn't collect any metadata about its users.\n\n\"I designed this to protect against Silent Circle,\" he says, before adding something that should probably be put on Silent Circle's t-shirts, if they ever decide to sell crypto-related merchandise: \"If we turned evil, then you're still covered.\"\n\nSecurity and cryptography experts generally believe Zimmermann's claims, but warn that having a healthy dose of skepticism is still the best approach.\n\nFabio Pietrosanti, an Italian hacker and cryptographer who has worked with Zimmermann in the past, explains that the biggest flaw in Silent Circle's architecture is that all communications go through its servers. So technically, if the authorities forced the founders to modify software to spy on users, they could still technically do it.\n\n\"When all communications are made through a piece of software that you have provided me and they go through your servers, you can be Philip Zimmermann or Jon Callas; you can have made the code open source, but the chain of guarantee can still be broken whenever you want,\" Pietrosanti tells Mashable.\n\nWhile that's a limit that can't be avoided, and despite that being technically possible, he notes that Silent Circle's founders would probably \"fight to death\" before surrendering to such a request. And moreover, collaborating with the feds would fatally hurt their business, which is based on trust.\n\nAll it takes is for one case to be exposed to lose all credibility, Pietrosanti explains, citing the cautionary example of Hushmail, an encrypted browser email service that claimed to be unable to read its users' emails. In 2007, however, it was revealed that they had lied and made modifications to code in order to comply with wiretap requests.\n\nAnother point of contention since Silent Circle launched is that the company has been slow to make its code open source.\n\nIn the crypto community, it's an old adage that you shouldn't trust an encryption software unless its code is open to peer review.

At the time, his invention earned him the interest of the U.S. Government, which convened a grand jury to investigate whether Zimmermann had violated international arms trade laws. Back then, encryption was considered ammunition, subject to strict anti-export laws. Zimmermann had published PGP's code on the Internet, something the feds considered akin to distributing it to enemies of the United States. After three years and significant public outcry, the government dropped its case.\n\nTwenty years later, cryptographic software isn't the object of criminal investigations anymore.\n\nIn late September 2012, a few days before Silent Circle released its first version, Mike Janke, one of the company's cofounders and a former U.S. Navy Seal, received an unusual visit at Silent Circle's offices in a suburb of Washington, D.C. It was the FBI.\n\nAs soon as they left, Janke called Zimmermann, who was at his house in Santa Cruz, Calif. When Zimmermann picked up the phone and heard the news, he immediately assumed the worst.\n\n\"Oh, no, already?\" he recalls saying \"We're getting that already? Oh God, gotta start fighting this fight again.\"\n\nAs it turns out though, the FBI wasn't there to threaten legal action. They were just curious as to how Silent Circle worked and were even interested in using it, according to Janke and Zimmermann.\n\nIn fact, Janke says some FBI agents have since subscribed. Silent Circle is also used by four heads of state, government agencies in nine different countries, as well as military and special operations units in 11 countries. Janke declined to be more specific, saying it's part of their policy to keep clients' identities secret \u2014 and in some cases, they just don't know who they are. Zimmermann added he's heard reports of the Tibetan government in exile using it, too.\n\nFor the founders of Silent Circle, the FBI's interest is the perfect example of how views surrounding encryption have changed.\n\n\"Ten years ago, if you had encryption on a device or your laptop, people thought, 'What you're trying to hide?'\" says Janke. \"Today, you don't have it, they say, 'Are you freaking crazy?'\"\n\nDespite more people understanding the importance of encryption, software like Silent Circle still has a hard time reaching a wider audience, mainly because not many people feel the need to spend $120 per year to protect their calls and online communications.

For all of you who went to the thing at Aunt Joyce's house with Elvis, this is the crazy cuckoo bird, Kuku, that I got from him. He still acts crazy now, and his best friend is one of Casey's stuffed birds, Nuts (who acts like his name implies, insane). For Grandpa John, this is George, the baby George, the same one who plays with the little people in the ash tray on airplanes. Even though I know you don't have a computer, maybe you can see it at Grandma's house sometime. Baby George will come visit you, I promise. However, I believe Kuku will be left behind at someone's house, he might go a little crazy elsewhere (don't worry, he will remain secure within my bags). If you don't understand this paragraph, I'm sorry, perhaps you aren't really related to us, and don't know these stuffed animals, but I'm sure you'll still like the video. Once more it is only 8 frames per second, but this time I designed that to be the case so it works a little better (though shoes do not make very good tripods, yes I used a shoe as my tripod (I couldn't find a real one, or chose not to look)).<|endoftext|>Empire State Building(67613)\n\nThere are a great many ways that you can propose to your sweetheart. Some go for a silly approach and some go for the full out, \u201con your knees I love you so much\u201d approach. Either way, there are plenty of reasons why you should definitely check into great places to propose in New York. Let's face it\u2014if you're going to ask, you want to make it memorable...and the perfect place might be what helps you to seal the deal. Also remember that this is going to be something that both of you remember for the rest of your life. It will be part of a story that you tell to friends, family and even your future children. So, here is a list of the places that you can propose in New York that will give you a great memory and a fantastic addition to the story you tell everyone!\n\nCentral Park\n\nCentral Park not only is beautiful, but it's also well maintained and there are a great number of ways that you can go about proposing here. There are also many carriage rides that you can take...and then pop the question whilst you're going past a particularly pretty area. Or, maybe just at random. Either way, it's one of the best places to propose in New York!\n\nEmpire State Building\n\nThis isn't a guaranteed yes, but some studies have shown that fear makes a person feel closer to you\u2014that's why you're more likely to get a snuggle during a scary movie as opposed to a funny one. It might sound silly, but it's pretty true. However, you have to gauge this one carefully. If they're so scared that they're just begging you to go back down again, you might want to give it a month and try again. This can be one of the most romantic places to propose in New York\u2014depending on your special someone.\n\n\nThis is one of the most famous jewelry stores in New York and has been around for almost one hundred years. However, you also need to be careful with this choice. Some girls might take it wrong if you take them into an expensive jewelry shop to propose\u2014all depending on their personality. Others wouldn't care, but you still want to be cautious. This could be a good way to just get them thinking about jewelry and then to get them to propose. But, it can still be one of the most romantic places to propose in New York\n\nIce Skating at Rockefeller Center\n\nThis is another of the most romantic places to propose in New York\u2014and it's also a lot of fun.

Plus, they'll love how you picked such a pretty place!\n\nCentral Park Boathouse\n\nAre you looking for somewhere not only romantic, but that looks really, really nice? Or do you just need a new idea because you're out of all your others? If that's the case, don't hesitate to check into this beautiful location and make your move as soon as you possibly can! You can even pull out your own boat or perhaps rent one for the evening and take her rowing or gliding across the water! Definitely one of the best places to propose in New York.\n\nSpirit Cruises\n\nNot only are these fun, but they are truly romantic and they also give you a chance to get away if you or your special someone are particularly stressed out. Don't hesitate to check into these, but be forewarned that they will cost you a pretty penny. Also, make sure that your special someone doesn't get boat sick easily either. If they spend most of the day nauseous or simply not feeling good, it probably won't be such a good idea to try to propose... you might end up revisiting THEIR dinner!\n\nMetropolitan Museum of Art\n\nWhen it comes to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, you can't go wrong if you're an art lover or if your lover is an art lover! Let's face it\u2014there are loads of ways that you can propose, but this is truly one of the most special, since it takes a little bit more guts and it takes a little bit more time. You have to find the best moment. The right painting\u2014pretty much anything that you have in mind! Take the time to really, really think this over.\n\nThe Point\n\nThe point is another one of the greatest places to propose in New York. It's easily one of the best and the easiest places to propose. It's located in the mountains, so, naturally, you have that on your side. It also has quite a few great cabins that you can choose from, and it used to be a resort for the Rockefellers. So, naturally, it's a really luxurious place!\n\nThese are just a few places to keep in mind whilst you're trying to find romantic places to propose in New York. Take the time to have one that has meaning to you if you don't want to propose in these places or if you simply don't think they're what you're looking for.

For all of you who went to the thing at Aunt Joyce's house with Elvis, this is the crazy cuckoo bird, Kuku, that I got from him. He still acts crazy now, and his best friend is one of Casey's stuffed birds, Nuts (who acts like his name implies, insane). For Grandpa John, this is George, the baby George, the same one who plays with the little people in the ash tray on airplanes. Even though I know you don't have a computer, maybe you can see it at Grandma's house sometime. Baby George will come visit you, I promise. However, I believe Kuku will be left behind at someone's house, he might go a little crazy elsewhere (don't worry, he will remain secure within my bags). If you don't understand this paragraph, I'm sorry, perhaps you aren't really related to us, and don't know these stuffed animals, but I'm sure you'll still like the video. Once more it is only 8 frames per second, but this time I designed that to be the case so it works a little better (though shoes do not make very good tripods, yes I used a shoe as my tripod (I couldn't find a real one, or chose not to look)).<|endoftext|>Empire State Building(67613)\n\nThere are a great many ways that you can propose to your sweetheart. Some go for a silly approach and some go for the full out, \u201con your knees I love you so much\u201d approach. Either way, there are plenty of reasons why you should definitely check into great places to propose in New York. Let's face it\u2014if you're going to ask, you want to make it memorable...and the perfect place might be what helps you to seal the deal. Also remember that this is going to be something that both of you remember for the rest of your life. It will be part of a story that you tell to friends, family and even your future children. So, here is a list of the places that you can propose in New York that will give you a great memory and a fantastic addition to the story you tell everyone!\n\nCentral Park\n\nCentral Park not only is beautiful, but it's also well maintained and there are a great number of ways that you can go about proposing here.

Either way, it's one of the best places to propose in New York!\n\nEmpire State Building\n\nThis isn't a guaranteed yes, but some studies have shown that fear makes a person feel closer to you\u2014that's why you're more likely to get a snuggle during a scary movie as opposed to a funny one. It might sound silly, but it's pretty true. However, you have to gauge this one carefully. If they're so scared that they're just begging you to go back down again, you might want to give it a month and try again. This can be one of the most romantic places to propose in New York\u2014depending on your special someone.\n\n\nThis is one of the most famous jewelry stores in New York and has been around for almost one hundred years.

Casual movie fans will be familiar with Sam's work from his successful superhero trilogy, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2 and the woefully underappreciated (at least to this reviewer) Spider-Man 3. But you bottom dwelling horror trolls out there are far more familiar with Raimi's low budget origins that include The Evil Dead trilogy and 1990s weird one-off, Darkman. Featuring a performance from Liam Neeson that seems to be phoned in from the zanier corners of the Twilight Zone, Darkman comes to Blu-ray courtesy of Universal in a barebones edition.\n\nFacts of the Case\n\nDr. Payton Westlake (Liam Neeson, Taken) is on the verge of a miraculous breakthrough with a new form of synthetic skin replacement for burn victims. What Payton doesn't know is that his girlfriend Julie's (Francis McDormand, Fargo) new discovery at her job -- a memorandum incriminating her boss (Colin Friels) -- will literally blow his world apart. Enter Robert G. Durant (Larry Drake, TV's L.A. Law), a hired thug sent to retrieve the memo from Payton's laboratory. Durant destroys Westlake's lab, and seemingly Westlake himself, in a fiery explosion. But Payton survives with terrible burns and severed nerve endings, giving him super strength and uncontrollable emotions. With a new laboratory and the power to become anyone of his choosing by utilizing his synthetic skin, Payton sets out exact revenge upon those who wronged him and rebuild his old life. A new hero is born: the Darkman!\n\nThe Evidence\n\nSam Raimi's Darkman is an odd film indeed. Tonally, it's all over the map -- there's horror for the gore hounds, sci-fi for the technology nerds, romance for the chick flickers, superhero antics for fanboys, explosions for the action junkies and even Three Stooges-like shenanigans for comedy buffs. It's as if when making Darkman Raimi went as broad as he could when it came to audience inclusion. Had he included a gunfight at the OK Corral and a distinctive yellow brick road he may have succeeded as the first film director in history to make a movie that encompassed every cinematic genre known to man.\n\nAs it stands, I like Darkman. I don't love it (no, that space is reserved for the uber-awesome Army of Darkness), but I do enjoy it quite a bit. It's a movie filled with weird imagery, a creative and original superhero, interesting villains and silliness to spare. Liam Neeson is at his most deliriously unhinged in this movie. He doesn't chew the scenery as much as baste with BBQ sauce and scarf it down with a side of baked beans.

It's a shame Drake didn't make more of a name for himself as a movie heavy -- he's one of the most interesting enemies in recent memory. A cross between Marvel Comic's Kingpin and Dick Tracy's Big Boy Caprice, Durant is a wonderful foil for Neeson's Westlake.\n\nDue to the strength of the leads the rest of the cast suffers by comparison. Francis McDormand is virtually wasted as Julie, Westlake's long-suffering girlfriend. Her character seems to just meander along; while her presence is needed, her character seems lost among the larger personalities of the cast. Colin Friels (Dark City) as a second tier heavy also is given little to work with.

In a statement the party said there was ?overwhelmingly evidence? members didn?t want him to go. ?He has therefore been persuaded to withdraw his resignation and remains leader of Ukip.? Farage?s election failure follows months of campaigning by anti-racists in the Stand Up to Ukip (Sutu) campaign.

The party now has just one MP, Douglas Carswell in Clacton, after Mark Reckless lost in Rochester and Strood. But behind the lack of MPs is a worrying rise in the Ukip vote.

The mainstream media seems to wield huge influence over the outcome of elections. Some sections of the media certainly went into overdrive in campaigning for a Tory victory. Indeed, the Guardian newspaper has pointed out that the Tory-supporting Sun newspaper ran more articles attacking ex Labour leader Ed Miliband than it did attacking then leader Neil Kinnock in 1992. Then, after a shock Tory victory in 1992, the paper?s front page claimed, ?It?s the Sun wot won it?. It seems the Sun has won it again. But is media support really the decisive factor in any election? A relatively small minority of rich people own the mainstream newspapers and broadcasters. They?re part of the minority at the top of society that owns and controls the big businesses, banks and the state. Their position in society is based on exploiting workers. They clearly have an interest in convincing the rest of us that this setup is natural? and they will use their control of the media to do so. But they will also use that power to try and secure governments they think will best act in their interests. Rupert Murdoch is an obvious example. Murdoch has switched allegiance between the Tories and Labour a number times since he bought the Sun in 1969. So the Sun was sycophantic in its support for Margaret Thatcher, because Murdoch saw working class militancy and trade unions threatening his interests. But in 1997 he switched allegiance to Tony Blair?s New Labour. It promised to be much friendlier than the Tories? Michael Howard, who was threatening to pass a law banning foreign nationals from owning newspapers. Now the Murdoch press supports the Tories again?at least in England and Wales. Begging Labour supporters point out that this is because Ed Miliband threatened to break up the Murdoch empire. But it?s also because?despite Labour?s surrender to austerity?anything other than a Tory victory would indicate a mood in society that?s opposed to Murdoch?s interests. This is why many other newspapers also campaigned for a Tory win. On the day of the election, the traditionally Tory-supporting Telegraph newspaper emailed every address on its marketing database begging its readers to vote Conservative. And in an editorial on Tuesday of last week, the London Evening Standard newspaper urged its readers to vote Tory ?for London?. It?s owned by the multi-millionaire Russian oligarch Alexander Lebedev. The thrust of their arguments was that a Tory government would be better for businesses and therefore for everybody else.? The underlying message was clear?what is good for those at the top of society is good for those at the bottom. Of course, not every newspaper backed the Tories. The Daily Mirror and the Guardian both came out for Labour. But these differences only reflect divisions inside the ruling class.? So the Telegraph?s plea for a Tory vote argued for a continuation of what it called the ?open, enterprise-led economic approach that has underpinned our prosperity for nearly 40 years?. Meanwhile, the Guardian believed a Labour", "base_doc": " Ofcom is going on about how inefficient Royal Mail are?but at least we?re delivering the mail. ?If Whistl pulls out of the postal market completely that?s a huge amount of work going back to Royal Mail.?

Many researchers in the speech-recognition community view \"dialogue methods\" as a way of controlling and restricting the interaction. For example, consider building a telephony system that answers queries about your mortgage. The ideal system would allow you to ask for what you need in any way you chose. The variety of possible expressions you might use makes this system a challenge for current speech-recognition technology. One approach to this problem is to have the system engage you in a dialogue by having you answer questions such as, \"What is your account number?\" \"Do you want your balance information?\" On the positive side, by controlling the interaction, your speech is much more predictable, leading to better recognition and language processing. On the negative side, the system has limited your interaction. You might need to provide all sorts of information that isn't relevant to your current situation, making the interaction less efficient.\n\nAnother view of dialogue involves basing human-computer interaction on human conversation. In this view, dialogue enhances the richness of the interaction and allows more complex information to be conveyed than is possible in a single utterance. In this view, language understanding in dialogue becomes more complex. It is this second view of dialogue to which we subscribe. Our goal is to design and build systems that approach human performance in conversational interaction. We believe that such an approach is feasible and will lead to much more effective user interfaces to complex systems.\n\nSome people argue that spoken language interfaces will never be as effective as graphic user interfaces (GUIs) except in limited special-case situations (for example, Schneiderman [2000]). This view underestimates the potential power of dialogue-based interfaces. First, there will continue to be more and more applications for which a GUI is not feasible because of the size of the device one is interacting with or because the task one is doing requires using one's eyes or hands. In these cases, speech provides a worthwhile and natural additional modality (Cohen and Oviatt 1995).\n\nEven when a GUI is available, spoken dialogue can be a valuable additional modality because it adds considerable flexibility and reduces the amount of training required. For example, GUI designers are always faced with a dilemma--either they provide a relatively basic set of operations, forcing the user to perform complex tasks using long sequences of commands, or they add higher-level commands that do the task the user desires. One problem with providing higher-level commands is that in many situations, there is a wide range of possible tasks; so, the interface becomes cluttered with options, and the user requires significant training to learn how to use the system.\n\nIt is important to realize that a speech interface by itself does not solve this problem. If it simply replaces the operations of menu selection with speaking a predetermined phrase that performs the equivalent operation, it can aggravate the problem because the user would need to remember a potentially long list of arbitrary commands. Conversational interfaces, however, would provide the opportunity for the user to state what he/she wants to do in his/her own terms, just as he/she would do to another person, and the system takes care of the complexity.\n\nDialogue-based interfaces allow the possibility of extended mixed-initiative interaction (Allen 1999; Chu-Carroll and Brown 1997). This approach models the human-machine interaction after human collaborative problem solving. Rather than viewing the interaction as a series of commands, the interaction involves defining and discussing tasks, exploring ways to perform the task, and collaborating to get it done. Most importantly, all interactions are contextually interpreted with respect to the interactions performed to this point, allowing the system to anticipate the user's needs and provide responses that best further the user's goals. \u2026\n\nAuthor Advanced search\n\n<|endoftext|>Question: Deskin a roasted pepper on the stove.\nAnswer: Place roasted peppers in a pot of water with a lid.

Thankfully, everyone's favorite \"Catman\" has been healthy ever since, and working hard to educate men about the importance of early detection.\n\nHe'll be taking part in the 2011 Making Strides 3K walk in Point Pleasant Beach, N.J. this Sunday (Oct. 16), and took some time to tell us how he dealt with his diagnosis and how he's helping others stay healthy. Of course, we couldn't resist talking to him about his musical career first:\n\nSo, this is a big thrill for me. 'Hotter than Hell' is the first record I ever owned, at age eight.\n\nOh, great record -- and I'm glad you called it a record, cause that's what they are, although, it was a strange album, put it that way, but yeah, it was a good album.\n\nBack then you guys recorded so fast, I'm amazed you can separate one record from the other.\n\nTell me about it, it was... make a record, then you tour the record, then you write as you're touring, and then when you get off the tour you go into the studio, do another record, go back out with the record on the tour. In our day, that's how it was. The dinosaur days, I call them. But man, I wouldn't give them up for all the tea in China.\n\nWhy is that?\n\nWe really came up the right way, I was watching that 'American Idol' show, with Steven Tyler, and like David Letterman said, you get on there, and you're kind of a star overnight, you really passed up the journey of going up the hill. I was a poor kid in Brooklyn, my dream was to play Madison Square Garden in front of my parents, and now that's happened many many times -- thanks to God, cause I'm a major Catholic kid.\n\nBut you had to build to it, nowadays people get right to it.\n\nOh yeah, our journey was hard, we had to play a lot of dives, we had to go through a lot. In those days that's how you did it, it wasn't some overnight, five million dollar contract -- I wish! -- but, ehh, that's progress, to a degree.\n\nYeah, but they'll be gone again in a few years, your music will still be here.\n\nYeah, I believe so too, but I watch it, and I'm a 20th century kid, I (laughs) hate the 21st century. I'm a really old-fashioned kid with the television, I'm a late '50s kid, I grew up with 'Hoppy' and 'The Lone Ranger,' those kind of shows, with morals and integrity and honor, it seems like those are gone. I sound like my Dad! These kids today, I don't believe it, it's very sad. The messages were really pretty cool back then, but I find the stuff today, this reality stuff is appalling.\n\n\nI don't blame you! Give me a break, I tell my wife, 'how much more can we take of it, and what more do I want to see or hear or know?' Then, they show these people making millions of dollars catching alligators or making moonshine, or I don't know what they're doing. What is this? They don't even have talent -- God forgive me, but I don't think so -- it's just a regular guy running a pawn shop, but they're huge stars, and they're making millions of dollars.\n\nIt's a strange world.\n\n\nYou're gonna be 66, right?\n\nOhhhhhh, I hate it! (jokingly) We don't even talk about it, ever since I turned sixty. But three is my lucky number, and those are double threes, so I'm expecting a really dynamite year. I feel real positive about a bunch of things coming up for me. I'm not alone, I look at other rock guys, like the Stones and Zeppelin and the Who, just all these people, we're all the same age. So I'm in good company. All the guys my age were around in the great times, when music was changing, when Vietnam was happening, and the British Invasion.\n\n\n\nSo, you've been cancer free for more than three years now, right?\n\nFour years, and my checkup comes up next week. I'm real excited about it because I feel great, except for the old pains that come from drumming for fifty years. I go to the gym every day, I walk three and a half miles, I work out five days a week, I play down in the studio. My wife had cancer, too. It's an amazing story, if not for her cancer I wouldn't be living. She's feeling good too. So I just feel great and I'm looking forward to going in. They say it's five years and you're out of the water. Personally, my experience is you're never out of the water. Every day I wake up and I get a pain, I think of the big \"C\" immediately. Because once it's in your body, its evil, and I never thought I'd have that in my body. I even went into therapy over it all, because I just couldn't believe it. You just have that fear, it never goes away. But I'm not worried. Every day above ground, my Dad used to say, is a good day.\n\nJust so we can help people out, how exactly did you first notice any signs of trouble?\n\nIt was a nodule, like a lump in my nipple and I discovered it when I got back from the gym. Look out for bumps and pain, a kind of pain where you just know -- this is a kind of pain I've never had before. I've had cysts and I remember them and I remember the doctor taking them out. This was different, it hurt like hell, it got bigger as I screwed around with it.\n\nSo you realized right away this was something very different?\n\nI don't know why, of all things, cause men just don't think of breast cancer, we just don't, but I swear, buddy I just knew that breast cancer had hit me for some reason. I think that was my angel speaking, and the red light went on, like, this is something more, Peter, you've got to check this out now. By the grace of God, my wife was going that day for her own cancer problems, and told her doctor about me. She checked me out, and said 'if my husband had that I would send him over to (doctor) Alex Swistel immediately, like now.\n\nThen what happened?\n\nSo she calls and says, 'I got a V.I.P. here' -- sometimes it's nice to be famous, it does open the door, and trust me, I'm a down to earth guy, I don't look at things like that, but boy it was a blessing. I got right in to the waiting room, and I started to get ill because I saw these beautiful women with no hair, wearing these turbans, and you could tell, the look of death was all over this room. There were other men, but they were all there with their wives. I just felt like, 'what the hell am I doing here?,' but thank God. He said, yes there's something there and we should do a biopsy.\n\nThat must have been very scary.\n\nSome time went by, at first they said it was negative, but then, a few weeks pass and I was healing. Then I got a call on a Saturday morning, you know that 'are you standing or sitting' type phone call? You just know, the bottom of your stomach falls out. He goes, 'I got good news and really bad news. What do you want first?' Well, the bad, of course. 'You've got breast cancer, Peter. You have to come back in now, and I want to remove your nipple and your breast muscle and take your lymph nodes out and make sure we get this son of a bitch immediately, because I can because you came", "base_doc": " around but of those there are half of them kill prostitutes.

But man, I wouldn't give them up for all the tea in China.\n\nWhy is that?\n\nWe really came up the right way, I was watching that 'American Idol' show, with Steven Tyler, and like David Letterman said, you get on there, and you're kind of a star overnight, you really passed up the journey of going up the hill. I was a poor kid in Brooklyn, my dream was to play Madison Square Garden in front of my parents, and now that's happened many many times -- thanks to God, cause I'm a major Catholic kid.\n\nBut you had to build to it, nowadays people get right to it.\n\nOh yeah, our journey was hard, we had to play a lot of dives, we had to go through a lot. In those days that's how you did it, it wasn't some overnight, five million dollar contract -- I wish! -- but, ehh, that's progress, to a degree.\n\nYeah, but they'll be gone again in a few years, your music will still be here.\n\nYeah, I believe so too, but I watch it, and I'm a 20th century kid, I (laughs) hate the 21st century. I'm a really old-fashioned kid with the television, I'm a late '50s kid, I grew up with 'Hoppy' and 'The Lone Ranger,' those kind of shows, with morals and integrity and honor, it seems like those are gone. I sound like my Dad! These kids today, I don't believe it, it's very sad. The messages were really pretty cool back then, but I find the stuff today, this reality stuff is appalling.\n\n\nI don't blame you! Give me a break, I tell my wife, 'how much more can we take of it, and what more do I want to see or hear or know?' Then, they show these people making millions of dollars catching alligators or making moonshine, or I don't know what they're doing. What is this? They don't even have talent -- God forgive me, but I don't think so -- it's just a regular guy running a pawn shop, but they're huge stars, and they're making millions of dollars.\n\nIt's a strange world.\n\n\nYou're gonna be 66, right?\n\nOhhhhhh, I hate it! (jokingly) We don't even talk about it, ever since I turned sixty. But three is my lucky number, and those are double threes, so I'm expecting a really dynamite year. I feel real positive about a bunch of things coming up for me. I'm not alone, I look at other rock guys, like the Stones and Zeppelin and the Who, just all these people, we're all the same age. So I'm in good company. All the guys my age were around in the great times, when music was changing, when Vietnam was happening, and the British Invasion.\n\n\n\nSo, you've been cancer free for more than three years now, right?\n\nFour years, and my checkup comes up next week. I'm real excited about it because I feel great, except for the old pains that come from drumming for fifty years. I go to the gym every day, I walk three and a half miles, I work out five days a week, I play down in the studio. My wife had cancer, too. It's an amazing story, if not for her cancer I wouldn't be living. She's feeling good too. So I just feel great and I'm looking forward to going in. They say it's five years and you're out of the water. Personally, my experience is you're never out of the water. Every day I wake up and I get a pain, I think of the big \"C\" immediately. Because once it's in your body, its evil, and I never thought I'd have that in my body. I even went into therapy over it all, because I just couldn't believe it. You just have that fear, it never goes away. But I'm not worried. Every day above ground, my Dad used to say, is a good day.\n\nJust so we can help people out, how exactly did you first notice any signs of trouble?\n\nIt was a nodule, like a lump in my nipple and I discovered it when I got back from the gym. Look out for bumps and pain, a kind of pain where you just know -- this is a kind of pain I've never had before. I've had cysts and I remember them and I remember the doctor taking them out. This was different, it hurt like hell, it got bigger as I screwed around with it.\n\nSo you realized right away this was something very different?\n\nI don't know why, of all things, cause men just don't think of breast cancer, we just don't, but I swear, buddy I just knew that breast cancer had hit me for some reason. I think that was my angel speaking, and the red light went on, like, this is something more, Peter, you've got to check this out now. By the grace of God, my wife was going that day for her own cancer problems, and told her doctor about me. She checked me out, and said 'if my husband had that I would send him over to (doctor) Alex Swistel immediately, like now.\n\nThen what happened?\n\nSo she calls and says, 'I got a V.I.P. here' -- sometimes it's nice to be famous, it does open the door, and trust me, I'm a down to earth guy, I don't look at things like that, but boy it was a blessing. I got right in to the waiting room, and I started to get ill because I saw these beautiful women with no hair, wearing these turbans, and you could tell, the look of death was all over this room. There were other men, but they were all there with their wives. I just felt like, 'what the hell am I doing here?,' but thank God. He said, yes there's something there and we should do a biopsy.\n\nThat must have been very scary.\n\nSome time went by, at first they said it was negative, but then, a few weeks pass and I was healing. Then I got a call on a Saturday morning, you know that 'are you standing or sitting' type phone call? You just know, the bottom of your stomach falls out. He goes, 'I got good news and really bad news. What do you want first?' Well, the bad, of course. 'You've got breast cancer, Peter. You have to come back in now, and I want to remove your nipple and your breast muscle and take your lymph nodes out and make sure we get this son of a bitch immediately, because I can because you came in so soon.'

Broad based vitamin supplements include the most common multivitamin and minerals supplements and ingredient based supplements. Examples of ingredient based supplements are vitamin A, B complex, vitamin C, Calcium supplements just to name some Exipure weight loss review. Specialty vitamins are mean for specific purposes like heart, arteries, diabetic and sleep and other health concerns.\n\nFasting Supplements: Should You Take Them, and Which Are Best?\n\nLike insurance policies, nutritional supplements are created to meet various needs of the user. Some are more to cover general well being of our bodies while others are very specific and targeted to address certain acute potential health issues. A multivitamin and minerals are generally advised to cover general but not specific purpose. However, a glucosamine based supplements is purposed to address joints related issues.\n\nIn order to be cost effective in consuming vitamins, one must know the needs. In general, most people would need multivitamins and minerals supplementation. There are also non-gender based general supplements as well as gender based, age based. Multivitamin supplements for men, women and children are commonly available nowadays. You may choose one according to your preference. However, as a general guide the more specially created the vitamin and nutritional supplements the more costly they are. Be prudent, choose one that meets your needs and suits your budget.\n\nOlder people would have more concerns over various health issues like heart, joints, nervous system, eye sight, energy and sleep. The list goes on. If one has many health issues, it would be costly indeed to consume all various types of supplements. As a preventive measure, I advise people to have sufficiently supplemented with general or gender specific multivitamins and minerals supplements at younger age. At the later stage of live, one may need to use specialty vitamin supplements to address his or her health concern. However it would be at a minimal and gradual approach.\n\nRelated Posts\n\nLeave a Reply\n<|endoftext|>Spurred by the release of the Coen Brothers\u2019 \u201cInside Llewyn Davis,\u201d a few weeks ago, I devoted this column to examining the difficulty in trying to depict a musical genius in a movie. Eventually, not being a musical genius, I resigned with a shrug, concluding that a great piece of music comes from innate talent, individual history, and that elusive stuff I simply will never understand.\n\nBut can musical greatness arise from a place?\n\nThat\u2019s the argument put forth by the new musical documentary \u201cMuscle Shoals,\u201d which screens Friday at SPACE Gallery (www.space538.org), a beguilingly entertaining history of the tiny, titular Alabama town that is the unlikely birthplace of a truly startling array of classic popular music. Focusing on the hardscrabble life story of legendary producer Rick Hall, Greg Camalier\u2019s film, apart from providing an intriguing and surprising history behind some of your favorite songs and artists, also posits that there\u2019s something ineffably inspirational about Muscle Shoals itself which made those songs what they are. An alchemy of place, and history, and the ever-murmuring Tennessee River running beside the deep, dark Alabama earth which seeped into the music made there, and the musicians who made it.\n\nUnfortunately, that theme of the film remains as elusive. I\u2019m all for appreciating the unknowability of the creative process, but, even coming from the mouths of musical legends like Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Jimmy Cliff, Percy Sledge, Bono, Gregg Allman and Etta James, the idea that the town of Muscle Shoals can impart some mystical flavor to music made there comes off more like self-mythologizing. Apart from blurry assertions like, \u201cBeing there does inspire you to do it slightly differently,\u201d or \u201cPeople go to a place with a sort of magic to it,\u201d or \u201cThere are certain places where there is a field of energy,\u201d the film offers little explanation of why the \u201cMuscle Shoals sound\u201d was so fertile.\n\nMore convincing, and fascinating, is the documentary\u2019s portrait of driven producer Hall and his chosen backup players The Swampers, possibly the least-likely soul, R&B, and rock gods imaginable, and how Hall\u2019s modest Fame Studios became the most sought-after recording facility in the world. Hall, presented as an irascible, exacting perfectionist needed a backup band to record with local African-American singers and hired The Swampers, a group of white teenagers. Backing up black singer Arthur Alexander, The Swampers provided a layered, shockingly funky groove which soon led to Alexander\u2019s songs being covered by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones \u2013 and brought the world knocking on Fame Studios\u2019 doors in search of its signature sound. They were in for a shock (as was I) \u2013 as Bono puts it, \u201cPeople came expecting black guys and instead found a bunch of white guys who look like they work at the supermarket.\u201d\n\nThe racial aspect of the film is both idealized and underdeveloped, but never less than fascinating, with numerous musicians extolling how Fame operated as an oasis of harmony in the 1960s Deep South, with black and white musicians coming together in harmony in pursuit of, well, harmonies. The present day Swampers (who eventually broke off to set up the equally-legendary 3614 Jackson Avenue Studio across town) indeed look like nothing less than everybody\u2019s soft-spoken uncles, but they, indeed provided the backbone to some of the most indelible R&B songs of all time. Aretha Franklin, who admiringly states, \u201cI didn\u2019t think they\u2019d be as greasy as they were,\u201d sings in front of them on \u201cI Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You,\u201d and \u201cRespect.\u201d They were Percy Sledge\u2019s band for \u201cWhen a Man Loves A Woman.\u201d That\u2019s them on The Staples Singers\u2019 \u201cI\u2019ll Take You There,\u201d and Jimmy Cliff\u2019s \u201cSitting in Limbo.\u201d And when the Rolling Stones came to Muscle Shoals in order to partake of the town\u2019s soul history, The Swampers (aka The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section) were the session men on \u201cWild Horses\u201d and \u201cBrown Sugar.\u201d\n\nThe list of artists who enlisted The Swampers and/or Rick Hall to bring that Muscle Shoals sound is astounding.

Jessie knew that Linda loved Carol with all her heart and she surmised that Carol loved her in the same way. \"I would love to meet Carol sometime.\" Rachel said. \"You will, you two are invited over to our place Saturday night, be there at six sharp as Carol wants to meet both of you too. Now I will leave you two alone for a while. I know that you want to be alone.\" Linda said with a grin and a wink. Then she went down the stairs and closed the trap door over her head. \"Alone at last,\" Jessie said as she came to Rachel and took her into her arms. Jessie felt Rachel's arms encircle her and she closed her eyes as their lips met. Their lips barely touched before they parted and then they kissed again. They kissed and kissed this way as their hands caressed each others backs and then asses. Jessie then backed away a bit and she took Rachel's tee shirt into her hands and pulled it over her head. She then unhooked her bra and pulled it off. She bent down and took Rachel's left nipple into her mouth. She sucked it into her mouth and teased the nipple with the tip of her tongue. She heard Rachel moan and then she felt her begin to pull her blouse up. Jessie let Rachel's nipple fall from her mouth only long enough for her blouse to be pulled off. She then went back to Rachel's breasts, caressing them with her hands and sucking on them with her mouth. She felt Rachel unhook her bra and off it came. She then felt Rachel's hands searching for her breasts and finding them. She felt Rachel squeeze them and pinch and pull on her nipples. This made Jessie suck harder on the breast that her mouth was currently on. Jessie then felt Rachel's hand under her chin and she raised her head. Rachel put her hand behind Jessie head and brought her in for a kiss. Jessie opened her mouth and she felt Rachel's tongue enter it. Jessie sucked on the tongue and caressed it with her tongue. Their hands went down to each other's waists and they were unsnapping each other jeans and pushing them down. They got them to their thighs and the pushed each other's panties down. Their fingers found each other's pussies and they began to stroke each other. Jessie could feel that Rachel was very wet and her fingers slipped right on in Rachel's pussy. She heard Rachel moan into her mouth and when Rachel's' fingers slipped into her pussy, she too moaned. They stroked each other's pussies as they kissed and Jessie could feel Rachel's' pussy leaking juices by the gallons and she wanted a taste. Jessie pulled her fingers from Rachel's pussy which brought a groan from Rachel. She then broke off the kiss. Jessie took Rachel by the hand led her over to the bed. She gently eased her down on her back. Jessie looked down at Rachel beautiful body. Her face was flush and her breathing was shallow and rapid. She looked down at Rachel's pussy and saw that it was a bright pink and wet. Jessie smiled as she came to the bed and she kissed Rachel as she got on the bed. The kiss was soft and sweet and when it ended, Jessie turned around and put her knees to each side of Rachel's chest. She bent down and using her fingers she opened Rachel's pussy. She inhaled the musky aroma coming forth from that pussy then she lowered her head to Rachel's pussy and began to lick. She licked up the juices that were on the outer lips and drank them down. As she did this, she felt a finger at her pussy. It moved up and down the slit slowly going deeper. Jessie moaned into Rachel's pussy as she licked it. The finger at her pussy slowly made its way to the entrance of her core. It played at the entrance before slowly slipping inside. Jessie moaned again and she opened Rachel's pussy more and she slipped her tongue inside of Rachel. She heard a moan come from Rachel. She also felt the finger begin to move in and out of her pussy. It felt good to have Rachel inside of her. The finger started to fuck her as she felt Rachel's mouth lick at her clit. Jessie licked harder as she felt her insides start to churn. She knew that Rachel was going to make her cum soon so she slipped a couple of fingers inside of Rachel's pussy and started to fuck her as her mouth went to her clit. She sucked it into her mouth and teased it with her tongue. Jessie felt a second finger enter her pussy stretching it open. Jessie shivered and sucked harder on Rachel's clit. She didn't want to have her orgasm before she brought Rachel to orgasm. They fucked and sucked for another minute or two before she felt the first wave of her orgasm hit her. She felt Rachel's pussy clamp down on her fingers and she knew that Rachel was cumming too. Jessie removed her fingers from Rachel's pussy and replaced it with her mouth drinking up her girlcum but then her orgasm hit her full force and she collapsed on top of Rachel. When she recovered from her orgasm, Jessie turned back around in the bed and she lay beside of Rachel who was still glowing from her own orgasm. She slipped her arms around her and pulled her in tight. She kissed her cheek and they lay there for a few minutes just enjoying the feeling of being held by the one they loved the most. \"Oh god, that felt good. I needed you so much.\" Rachel said quietly. \"Me too, I have been thinking of doing this all day. I just figured that we would have to wait until tomorrow and do it.\" Jessie said as she kissed Rachel tenderly. \"How much time do we have until dinner?\" Rachel asked. \"Let me see.\" Jessie said as she looked for and found her watch on the floor. \"About two hours, I guess.\" \"Good, hold me tight.\" Rachel said as Jessie did just that. They feel asleep soon afterwards and slept for an hour before Jessie was awaken by kisses to her face and lips. \"Oh that is nice.\" Jessie said as she pulled in tight and returned the kisses with passion. They kissed and caressed each other bodies and when their fingers found each other's pussies, they began to stroke each other. Their fingers probed and pulled and caressed until they both shuddered from an orgasm. They then just kissed the time away. \"You know we had better get up and get ready.\" Jessie said and then continued with, \"We don't want to be late for supper tonight. I have enough licks of the strap coming as it is.\" \"Oh god, don't remind me, I got a few myself. Me and my damn elbows on the fucking table, you know that is a stupid rule.

But remember I will be with you.\" Jessie said as she kissed Rachel. \"I will be with you too. Hey why don't we meet here as soon as our elders go to sleep tonight? Then we will be able to consol each other.\" \"I was thinking the same thing. I knew I loved you for some reason.\" Jessie said with a little laugh. They got up and went to the sink, where Jessie stopped up the sink and let some warm water run into it. She then soaped up a washcloth and got down on her knees in front of Rachel. She watched as Rachel opened her legs and Jessie began to wash her pussy. She washed all the left over girl cum from her pussy then she rinsed the washcloth and she wiped the soap from Rachel's pussy. Jessie could not help to bend forward and kiss Rachel beautiful bare pussy. She wanted to do more but they were running out of time. So she got up and Rachel took the washcloth from her. Jessie spread her legs as Rachel soaped the washcloth. She watched as Rachel got down in front of her and then she felt the warm cloth against her pussy. She felt a contented sigh come from her throat. Rachel was so tender with her washing that Jessie hated for it to end but it did. She felt Rachel's lips touch her pussy with a sweet kiss. They dressed and headed for the trapdoor in the floor. Rachel went down first and then Jessie followed. Once Jessie was past the door, she reached up and closed it. When she got off the ladder, Rachel moved the trash can back into place. Jessie went to the peep hole and she saw a couple of girls at the end of the hall going out of their room and as soon as they were gone, she called the all clear. She started to open the door when she found herself being spun around and Rachel pinned up against the door. Rachel gave her a sweet smile and then she came in for a kiss. Jessie put her hand to the back of Rachel's neck and held her in place as they kissed. Jessie moaned a bit from the passion that Rachel was kissing her with. They both knew that in an hour or so they both would be hurting from a spanking and this was their last kiss before that happened. The kiss went on for what seemed forever but then Rachel finally broke the kiss. \"I love you.\" She told Jessie. \"I love you too.\" Jessie replied.

Jessie put her hand to the back of Rachel's neck and held her in place as they kissed. Jessie moaned a bit from the passion that Rachel was kissing her with. They both knew that in an hour or so they both would be hurting from a spanking and this was their last kiss before that happened. The kiss went on for what seemed forever but then Rachel finally broke the kiss. \"I love you.\" She told Jessie. \"I love you too.\" Jessie replied. Jessie then took another look out the peephole and finding the hallway clear, she opened the door and they hurried out and started downstairs.

Check out their new Wicked Kitchen range, a collaboration with plant chef Derek Sarno. The range uses plants in a variety of ways, making all the meals taste amazing (trust me, I\u2019ve tried them!) but without the negative effects of meats. Gone are the days of weird-tasting fake meats \u2013 this is a real deal. They\u2019re also super convenient, which means that at the end of a long day of work, they\u2019re quick to stick in the oven or on the hob so you can get eating asap. I am unbelievably impressed with the range, and would recommend it to anyone, not just people who are already vegetarian or vegan! If you\u2019ve been considering lowering your meat and dairy consumption for some while, there\u2019s no better time to do it. Here are a few reasons why you should just go for it!\n\n\nIt\u2019s good for your health\n\nIncreasing the proportion of the diet that is made up of wholefoods such as fruit and vegetables can only improve your health. Multiple studies have also shown significant improvements in health outcomes for those with heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes, diseases that have exploded in frequency over the last few decades. Red meats, especially those that have been heavily processed, have been liked closely with increased rates of these diseases, and decreasing the amount you eat can only have positive impacts on your health. It is now possible to replace meats with vegan products that have the same flavours but none of the negative impacts, so why not try some vegan alternatives, such as those found in the Wicked kitchen range?\n\nIt saves you money\n\nPeople often complain that eating vegan is more expensive than eating meat, but if you are simply replacing the most expensive part of the diet with more vegetables, grains and pulses, it ends up significantly cheaper than an omnivorous diet. Specialist products such as tofu and meat replacements can sometimes be relatively expensive but are almost always cheaper than meats. Brands such as Tesco have started providing ready meals that are no more expensive than their meat counterparts, meaning that even convenience foods are as cheap or cheaper than the animal product equivalent.\n\nIt\u2019s one of the best things you can do to save the planet\n\nThere is irrefutable evidence to show that red meat, especially products that come from cattle, have a significant impact on the environment. The livestock industry consumes about 8% of the world\u2019s water, depriving those areas that most need it (Schlink et al., 2010). Whilst it takes 2400 gallons of water to make 1lb of meat, 1lb of wheat can be grown with just 155 gallons of water. Without going into too much depth, using meat for food is less efficient in just about every way, using more land, water, fuel, and using 60% of all the human grade grain grown in the world. By products of the meat industry include greenhouse gases such as methane, which has 23 times the global warming potential of CO2. Care about the world we live in? Reducing your consumption of animal products (especially meat) will make a huge difference.

There are some nice world-building elements that you can steal for your games. However, the mechanics are so loosey-goosey that they make me wonder why you'd buy this as a game rather than as some GM advice. That being said, I suspect that those who find it works find that it works well.\n\nThis is less a review and more of a personal reaction.\n\nGraphic Novel calls itself \"A Free Form Supers Roleplaying Game\" and it certainly is free-form. That grants a lot of freedom to the players, which is generally a good thing. However, I think I can summarize the mechanics in five points. I'll try, without infringing on the text (except for the term \"Destiny Points\").\n \u2022 Describe your character.\n \u2022 Give your character the number of Destiny Points decided on for the campaign.\n \u2022 When it's important, roll a d20. High numbers good, low numbers bad. How good or bad depends on your view of the character's competence in that area, but 20 is always success, 1 is always failure.\n \u2022 If the result is bad, you can spend a Destiny Point to re-roll as many times as you have Destiny Points.\n \u2022 You get one Destiny Point back per hour, or when you do something that \"fulfills your Destiny.\"\nCould this work? Of course. And if it works for you, great. As Abraham Lincoln reputedly said, \"For those who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they will like.\"\n\nIt is too free-form for me.\n\nAs a GM who has gotten into arguments with players in several different systems, the third point is an issue. Expertise for rolls is decided from the vantage point of the character, so Awkwardman might succeed on that roll to defuse the nuclear bomb only on a 19 or 20, while Reed Richards might succeed on a roll of 5-20.\n\nThe fifth point is also problematic: do you get Destiny Points back at one per hour of game time (\"You sleep for 8 hours, so you have 8 Destiny Points back\") or one per hour of play time (\"I know we elided over a month in game, but you spent your last Destiny Point ten minutes ago\"). I presume it's the former, but the game doesn't say.\n\nIt also doesn't tell you to define your destiny: writing it down has to be inferred from the rest of the text. (My question to the author didn't get answered directly; maybe I misunderstood the response, but my question about the answer hasn't been answered.)\n\nThe game does provide a lot of fluff, though: it has names of various people, organizations, and cities that you can plunder for your own game.\n\nProduction values are low, but I suspect that's intentional. It looks like it is meant to evoke an older, simpler age of gaming, with self-published and mimeographed gaming aids.\n\nSo for me (and I speak only for me), it's not useful as an art object, and it's not useful as a game system. It is useful to me as a source of fluff. Is it six bucks worth of useful? Not for me, but others differ.\n\nSo, final verdict: not for me. I hope that this brief discussion tells you whether or not you'll enjoy it.\n\nJails in Ontario\n\n\nSo as a result of a recent brush with the legal system and a side comment while playtesting this current adventure, I thought, \"So the Bruce Nuclear Response Team has the authority to arrest people. I wonder where they go?\"\n\nThat led me into the hole that is the Ontario Correctional System. The short answer to my original question is, \"They get put into jail in Owen Sound.\" (I think. There's some ambiguity there: the Wikipedia page lists the Owen Sound Jail as active, but the Ontario Corrections page doesn't.) And for gaming that should be sufficient.\n\nIt turns out, though, that there are several layers to this particular onion. In Ontario, there are a number of types of things we lump together as jails:\n \u2022 There are jails. This is short term holding. Technically, we still spell it \"gaol\" for the names of some of the older facilities.\n \u2022 There are detention centres. These are the same thing, but while jails were originally set up by counties, detention centres are more modern. Both are administered by the province, now.\n \u2022 A correctional centre holds anybody whose sentence is under two years (that is, if your sentence is two years less a day, you go to a detention centre). If your sentence is two years or more, they move you to the federal system.\n \u2022 There are correctional complexes. These are centres that hold both detention centres and correctional centres.\n \u2022 Federally there are correction facilities.\n\nAnybody who knows better can correct me.\n\nFriday, January 26, 2018\n\nInvestigation in games\n\n\nThis is actually specific to ICONS but it could be adapted for any game with a degrees-of-success mechanic.\n\nInvestigation is sort of odd in games. For some games (the various GUMSHOE games, for instance), it's their jam. For other games, it's a roll to give people the info so they can get on to the next encounter.\n\nSo you can roleplay the investigation, with the players talking to various characters and hours of playtime can go by, and that's great, if everyone's on board with that.\n\nOn the other hand, you can reduce it to a roll or a series of rolls and have a handout or handouts for the players, and it's done quickly. \"You spend two hours researching shipping companies, and this is what you get.\"\n\nSometimes you want one, sometimes you want the other. And if you're writing an adventure to be played by anyone other than the group you know, then you have to take both mindsets into account.\n\nI don't know if anyone else produces adventures with areas where there are investigation or similar tests. What I've noticed that I have started doing is this:\n\nTopic (whatever the test is about\nDifficulty3 or 5 or whatever\nPyramid test?No or Optional or Required\nTimeHow long is this test going to take? Sometimes the time is implicit in the task.\nEverybody KnowsThis is the background information. Bombs are bad, the Noble family has three kids. You barely have to ask this stuff.\nMarginal SuccessDo they get information on a marginal success?\nModerate SuccessAnything for Marginal Success, plus whatever is here.\nMajor SuccessAnything for the previous two successes, plus whatever is here.\nMassive SuccessAnything for the previous successes, plus whatever is here.\nConsequencesThis might be obvious.

I'll try, without infringing on the text (except for the term \"Destiny Points\").\n \u2022 Describe your character.\n \u2022 Give your character the number of Destiny Points decided on for the campaign.\n \u2022 When it's important, roll a d20. High numbers good, low numbers bad. How good or bad depends on your view of the character's competence in that area, but 20 is always success, 1 is always failure.\n \u2022 If the result is bad, you can spend a Destiny Point to re-roll as many times as you have Destiny Points.\n \u2022 You get one Destiny Point back per hour, or when you do something that \"fulfills your Destiny.\"\nCould this work? Of course. And if it works for you, great. As Abraham Lincoln reputedly said, \"For those who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they will like.\"\n\nIt is too free-form for me.\n\nAs a GM who has gotten into arguments with players in several different systems, the third point is an issue. Expertise for rolls is decided from the vantage point of the character, so Awkwardman might succeed on that roll to defuse the nuclear bomb only on a 19 or 20, while Reed Richards might succeed on a roll of 5-20.\n\nThe fifth point is also problematic: do you get Destiny Points back at one per hour of game time (\"You sleep for 8 hours, so you have 8 Destiny Points back\") or one per hour of play time (\"I know we elided over a month in game, but you spent your last Destiny Point ten minutes ago\"). I presume it's the former, but the game doesn't say.\n\nIt also doesn't tell you to define your destiny: writing it down has to be inferred from the rest of the text. (My question to the author didn't get answered directly; maybe I misunderstood the response, but my question about the answer hasn't been answered.)\n\nThe game does provide a lot of fluff, though: it has names of various people, organizations, and cities that you can plunder for your own game.\n\nProduction values are low, but I suspect that's intentional. It looks like it is meant to evoke an older, simpler age of gaming, with self-published and mimeographed gaming aids.\n\nSo for me (and I speak only for me), it's not useful as an art object, and it's not useful as a game system. It is useful to me as a source of fluff. Is it six bucks worth of useful? Not for me, but others differ.\n\nSo, final verdict: not for me. I hope that this brief discussion tells you whether or not you'll enjoy it.\n\nJails in Ontario\n\n\nSo as a result of a recent brush with the legal system and a side comment while playtesting this current adventure, I thought, \"So the Bruce Nuclear Response Team has the authority to arrest people. I wonder where they go?\"\n\nThat led me into the hole that is the Ontario Correctional System. The short answer to my original question is, \"They get put into jail in Owen Sound.\" (I think. There's some ambiguity there: the Wikipedia page lists the Owen Sound Jail as active, but the Ontario Corrections page doesn't.) And for gaming that should be sufficient.\n\nIt turns out, though, that there are several layers to this particular onion. In Ontario, there are a number of types of things we lump together as jails:\n \u2022 There are jails. This is short term holding. Technically, we still spell it \"gaol\" for the names of some of the older facilities.\n \u2022 There are detention centres. These are the same thing, but while jails were originally set up by counties, detention centres are more modern. Both are administered by the province, now.\n \u2022 A correctional centre holds anybody whose sentence is under two years (that is, if your sentence is two years less a day, you go to a detention centre). If your sentence is two years or more, they move you to the federal system.\n \u2022 There are correctional complexes. These are centres that hold both detention centres and correctional centres.\n \u2022 Federally there are correction facilities.\n\nAnybody who knows better can correct me.\n\nFriday, January 26, 2018\n\nInvestigation in games\n\n\nThis is actually specific to ICONS but it could be adapted for any game with a degrees-of-success mechanic.\n\nInvestigation is sort of odd in games. For some games (the various GUMSHOE games, for instance), it's their jam. For other games, it's a roll to give people the info so they can get on to the next encounter.\n\nSo you can roleplay the investigation, with the players talking to various characters and hours of playtime can go by, and that's great, if everyone's on board with that.\n\nOn the other hand, you can reduce it to a roll or a series of rolls and have a handout or handouts for the players, and it's done quickly. \"You spend two hours researching shipping companies, and this is what you get.\"\n\nSometimes you want one, sometimes you want the other. And if you're writing an adventure to be played by anyone other than the group you know, then you have to take both mindsets into account.\n\nI don't know if anyone else produces adventures with areas where there are investigation or similar tests. What I've noticed that I have started doing is this:\n\nTopic (whatever the test is about\nDifficulty3 or 5 or whatever\nPyramid test?No or Optional or Required\nTimeHow long is this test going to take? Sometimes the time is implicit in the task.\nEverybody KnowsThis is the background information. Bombs are bad, the Noble family has three kids. You barely have to ask this stuff.\nMarginal SuccessDo they get information on a marginal success?\nModerate SuccessAnything for Marginal Success, plus whatever is here.\nMajor SuccessAnything for the previous two successes, plus whatever is here.\nMassive SuccessAnything for the previous successes, plus whatever is here.\nConsequencesThis might be obvious.

So in the grand style of the link roundups we post periodically at River Ave. Blues, I present a TWU link roundup.\n\n\u2018Pushy\u2019 conductor wins legal fight\n\nOur first story comes to us from Pete Donohue. He reports that the New York Court of Appeals ruled that a subway conductor who was accused of pushing a passenger after a heated exchange of words in 2006 cannot be fired. The MTA had initially tried to fire Jack Grissett after he fired a homophobic slur at a passenger and then, in Donohue\u2019s words, \u201c\u2018forcefully\u2019 put his hands on the man.\u201d At the time, an arbitration panel had recommended a two-month suspension without pay, and the Court determined that the arbitration ruling should stand and that the MTA owes Grissett backpay as well. The MTA had won at both the Supreme Court and Appellate level.\n\nWhile Donohue and his sources portray this to be an example of wasteful MTA expenditures on legal fees, I have a different take on it. It reaches more to the power of the unions and the MTA\u2019s inability to fire its employees acts most workplaces would not tolerates. As PSAs throughout the system remind us, if a rider assaults an MTA employee, the penalty could be up to seven years in jail. Yet, if an MTA employee is found to be guilty of similar behavior, a two-month suspension is a sufficient punishment.\n\nBus mirrors inadequate, says drivers\n\nAccording to a Heather Haddon report in amNew York, a few express bus drivers say that replacement mirrors are inadequate and could put pedestrians at risk. Union leaders claim that the MTA\u2019s decision to replace broken mirrors with \u201ca more affordable model\u201d is a flawed one because the mirrors do not allow drivers to see people on the streets or those running for the bus. While Transit officials say the mirrors \u201cmeet or exceed\u201d safety specifications, one bus depot in Brooklyn fielded 20 complaints last month alone.\n\nWith funds tight, station cleaning shifts go unfilled\n\nFor the last few years, the MTA has threatened to eliminate station cleaning crews as a way of saving money. The current setup, Transit officials have claimed, is an inefficient use of manpower. Now, TWU leaders say that cleaning shifts are going unfilled.

I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m going to say and I would appreciate the readers being my temporary research assistant and putting all the details in the comments section. Maybe if one of my new heroes cruises through here he will add his thoughts, cause he has got his own personal encyclopedia walking next to him as an invisible friend.\n\nHenry Kissinger is a loathsome toad. I think that pretty much covers everything that need be said. He is the prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Nelson Rockefeller, another one of the most evil men of the last century. He and his brother David are book-ending demons on one of the shelves in Hell\u2019s library, where those so inclined go to read for a few hours of torment. Henry probably was a regular there. It\u2019s where he came from.\n\nThere are some pure psychopaths that you can spot just by looking at them. Donald Rumsfield is one, Ehud Barak and Olmert also. Henry Kissinger is one. Henry gives me the impression of a creature that burrows through the brains of dead serial killers in search of special nutrition; my doctor says I\u2019m low on Sinisterium. Sinisterium is the protein that allows you to murder millions and not be depressed about having fallen short of your goals. Although the AMA says that this protein is not essential for rounded human health it does promote long life and it also combines with other proteins to create any number of unknown syntheses, of which there is not a great deal of documentation.\n\nHenry is one of those special few who, like Cheney, Bush and most Israeli leaders, could be arrested in foreign countries. That\u2019s not likely to happen yet but there is no question that will become a reality fairly soon. It\u2019s yet one more side effect of The Apocalypse.\n\nHere are a few quotes by Henry, \u201cAccept everything about yourself - I mean everything, You are you and that is the beginning and the end - no apologies, no regrets.\u201d \u201cI am being frank about myself in this book. I tell of my first mistake on page 850.\u201d \u201cThe illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.\u201d \u201cThe longer I am out of office, the more infallible I appear to myself.\u201d \u201cThe nice thing about being a celebrity is that, if you bore people, they think it's their fault.\u201d \u201cThe security of Israel is a moral imperative for all free peoples.\u201d These comments, measured against his actions, make him appear like a bi-polar Oscar Wilde with a butcher knife.\n\nHere are some comments \u2018about\u2019 Henry Kissinger; \u201c'Former Nixon aide Charles W. Colson, the Watergate victim who spoke out clearly about conspiracy in high places, has said that Nixon told him as early as December 18, 1973, that Kissinger 'is really unstable at times'.\u201d \u201c'He's got us all buffaloed. He can (and will) lift your security, get you a foundation black ball, bong you at the colleges, put you in Coventry. He's got spies in every department. He's running the Ministry of Fear. All of his phones are tapped and he keeps long dossiers.'\u201d \u201c'Thanks to the sworn testimony of Guerzoni, Italy and Europe but not the U.S. learned that Kissinger was behind the death of Aldo Moro. This tragic affair demonstrates the ability of the Committee of 300 to impose its will upon any government without exception. Secure in his position as a member of the most powerful secret society in the world, and I am not talking about Freemasonry, Kissinger not only terrified Moro, but carried through on his threats to 'eliminate' Moro if he did not give up his plan to bring economic and industrial progress to Italy. In June and July of 1982, the wife of Aldo Moro testified in open court that her husband's murder came about as a result of serious threats against his life, made by what she called 'a high ranking United States political figure'. Mrs. Eleanora Moro repeated the precise phrase reportedly used by Kissinger in the sworn testimony of Guerzoni. 'Either you stop your political line or you will pay dearly for it'. Recalled by the judge, Guerzoni was asked if he could identify the person Mrs. Moro was talking about.

They contend he is a man so driven by a lust for power that he would lie to anyone, including the President, to achieve a goal.'\u201d \u201c' Another example of the influence of the CFR can be seen in the meteoric rise of Henry Kissinger. In 1955, Kissinger was merely another unknown academic who attended a meeting at the Marine Corps School at Quantico, Virginia, hosted by then presidential foreign affairs assistant Nelson Rockefeller. This meeting was the start of a lengthy friendship between the two culminating in a $50,000 outright gift to Kissinger from Rockefeller. Kissinger soon was introduced to David Rockefeller and other prominent CFR members. Through the CFR, Kissinger obtained funding and entree to ranking officials of the Atomic Energy Commission, the three branches of the military, the CIA, and the State Department. He used this access to produce a best-selling book entitled Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy, in which he argued that a nuclear war might be 'winnable.' By the time of Nixon's administration, Kissinger was secretary of state, and he remains a formidable force in world affairs.'\n\nAnd finally, this, \u201c'From my experience I believe Elvis was a puppet, a pawn, and in the end totally directed, and finally, used by these men in control of him....After awhile Elvis couldn't function any longer.

I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m going to say and I would appreciate the readers being my temporary research assistant and putting all the details in the comments section. Maybe if one of my new heroes cruises through here he will add his thoughts, cause he has got his own personal encyclopedia walking next to him as an invisible friend.\n\nHenry Kissinger is a loathsome toad. I think that pretty much covers everything that need be said. He is the prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Nelson Rockefeller, another one of the most evil men of the last century. He and his brother David are book-ending demons on one of the shelves in Hell\u2019s library, where those so inclined go to read for a few hours of torment. Henry probably was a regular there. It\u2019s where he came from.\n\nThere are some pure psychopaths that you can spot just by looking at them. Donald Rumsfield is one, Ehud Barak and Olmert also. Henry Kissinger is one. Henry gives me the impression of a creature that burrows through the brains of dead serial killers in search of special nutrition; my doctor says I\u2019m low on Sinisterium. Sinisterium is the protein that allows you to murder millions and not be depressed about having fallen short of your goals. Although the AMA says that this protein is not essential for rounded human health it does promote long life and it also combines with other proteins to create any number of unknown syntheses, of which there is not a great deal of documentation.\n\nHenry is one of those special few who, like Cheney, Bush and most Israeli leaders, could be arrested in foreign countries. That\u2019s not likely to happen yet but there is no question that will become a reality fairly soon. It\u2019s yet one more side effect of The Apocalypse.\n\nHere are a few quotes by Henry, \u201cAccept everything about yourself - I mean everything, You are you and that is the beginning and the end - no apologies, no regrets.\u201d \u201cI am being frank about myself in this book. I tell of my first mistake on page 850.\u201d \u201cThe illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.\u201d \u201cThe longer I am out of office, the more infallible I appear to myself.\u201d \u201cThe nice thing about being a celebrity is that, if you bore people, they think it's their fault.\u201d \u201cThe security of Israel is a moral imperative for all free peoples.\u201d These comments, measured against his actions, make him appear like a bi-polar Oscar Wilde with a butcher knife.\n\nHere are some comments \u2018about\u2019 Henry Kissinger; \u201c'Former Nixon aide Charles W. Colson, the Watergate victim who spoke out clearly about conspiracy in high places, has said that Nixon told him as early as December 18, 1973, that Kissinger 'is really unstable at times'.\u201d \u201c'He's got us all buffaloed. He can (and will) lift your security, get you a foundation black ball, bong you at the colleges, put you in Coventry. He's got spies in every department. He's running the Ministry of Fear. All of his phones are tapped and he keeps long dossiers.'\u201d \u201c'Thanks to the sworn testimony of Guerzoni, Italy and Europe but not the U.S. learned that Kissinger was behind the death of Aldo Moro. This tragic affair demonstrates the ability of the Committee of 300 to impose its will upon any government without exception. Secure in his position as a member of the most powerful secret society in the world, and I am not talking about Freemasonry, Kissinger not only terrified Moro, but carried through on his threats to 'eliminate' Moro if he did not give up his plan to bring economic and industrial progress to Italy. In June and July of 1982, the wife of Aldo Moro testified in open court that her husband's murder came about as a result of serious threats against his life, made by what she called 'a high ranking United States political figure'. Mrs. Eleanora Moro repeated the precise phrase reportedly used by Kissinger in the sworn testimony of Guerzoni. 'Either you stop your political line or you will pay dearly for it'. Recalled by the judge, Guerzoni was asked if he could identify the person Mrs. Moro was talking about. Guerzoni replied that it was indeed Henry Kissinger as he had previously intimated.'\u201d Let\u2019s make a new paragraph for appearances sake. Okay?\n\n\u201c'In any case, by 1971 Henry had become, as the Times noted, virtually 'all-powerful in the sprawling sector of the government which seeks to advise the President on national security matters.

But action can take place only within the context of a known world (i.e., you should know what you're doing when you do it), and how much something hurts doesn't tell you anything about whether it's real.\n\n All that being said, there are far better arguments for Side A than this. I didn't treat them at length here, because I was concerned to deal with an argument I think not only fallacious, but, if applied consistently, kind of terrifying. And it also bears saying that, if we accept a Side B ethic, it doesn't follow that there is only one way of dealing with that reality; I think the pastoral concessions sometimes made for heterosexuals should absolutely be made for us too, and that there is good Biblical as well as historical precedent for doing so.\n\n (Incidentally, when I said 'your argument' above, I did literally mean your *argument,* i.e. the one you were making, which may or may not represent your views; a bit clumsy on my part there. I'm happy to discuss either, but I do want to make appropriate distinctions -- and not put words in your mouth.)\n\n\n 2. As to the idea that God had no design in mind for sexuality, how could a Christian possibly hold such a view? For if so, either sexuality is so trivial as to be beneath the notice of a Mind with infinite time and energy at its disposal -- which doesn't square very well with Scripture (whether on a B interpretation or an A one); it also doesn't seem to sit comfortably with the idea that there are such things as sexual sins or erotic needs. I mean, if sexuality were really that unimportant, then I'd think the agony of loneliness would be correspondingly unimportant, as would the wrongness of pedophilia among other things. I could see a Gnostic making such an argument, but Christianity surely involves us in the view that the body is part of the image of God, and sexuality is one of the few aspects of the self that involves soul and body in their totality.\n\n Or, God had no design for sexuality, and the rules He imposes are thus wholly arbitrary and have nothing to do with the good of man. Not an unknown view; but, well, I used to worship that God and found Him monstrous. But I can scarcely believe that you espouse either of those views, so I assume I've misprised you somehow.\n\n I've always understood 6s on the Kinsey scale to be comparatively rare -- not necessarily few, in absolute terms, but that people who identify as lesbians or gay men are usually closer to a 5, and of course some show fluidity. I'm also given to understand that such research as has been conducted on pedophilia suggests that the impulse (though not, obviously, the behavior) is indeed intractable. However, I consider one person's agony as logically important as a thousand's, and I've been pretty dismayed in the past when the relative number of LGBT people was used as a reason to consider our eccentricity unimportant.\n\n The argument from bad and good fruit again seems problematic to me. For of course, what's under discussion is whether a given kind of sexual behavior is always, sometimes, or never bad fruit. This isn't to say spiritual abuse isn't a real and horrible thing, and false doctrine certainly encourages it; unfortunately I find that true doctrine can be used for abuse as well. And people's virtues are often asymmetrical: they may be wonderfully good in one respect and need lots of improvement in another. The test of fruit can -- with immense caution and appropriate uncertainty -- be applied to people; I don't know that it can usefully be applied to beliefs at all.\n\n 4. A few quick things, as the family is on its way south (eventually landing in your backyard for a few days)...\n\n 1.) I agree with the caution on fruits. But what do you assert the test of fruit as applied to people is for, and what can it tell us about people, and what \"fruit\" do we examine to tell us that about them?\n\n 2.) In the original Kinsey data, the exclusives were about 5% (or a little more) of the total sample, which at the time was about 8 million people. You'd likely get numbers nowhere near that high for exclusive pedophiles (I use my terms cautiously here because we don't have great data). Also consider that Kinsey 5's are effectively Kinsey 6's in most cases (people who \"experimented\" with heterosexuality at 14 or 15 get thrown into a 5 or a 4 on the Kinsey automatically, but in terms of actual orientation, they're 6's... the pressure to live up to heternormative standards obscures the overall scale a bit).\n\n 3.) I see where you're coming from on agony, but I still insist that the argument from harm has to be part of the discussion, for otherwise, God has no ethical/moral foundation, other than whimsy and capriciousness. The argument from harm will get you there 99% of the time when the question is \"Why does God allow this or not allow that?\" Harm seems to be pretty foundational to God's ethical/moral essence, so to throw the question out when discussing any of God's \"designs\" is as problematic to me as making conclusions solely on arguments of harm.\n\n 4.) The intractable I was talking about was an *exclusive* orientation towards children...not the orientation towards children itself. (In other words, one may be inclined toward children the rest of their lives, but I don't know that they are exclusively drawn to children the rest of their lives). I have anecdotally heard of pedophiles who, as they aged, lost attraction towards children and became hebephiles instead. In my estimation, there's simply not enough data to warrant comparison of homosexuality to pedophilia. But I appreciate your argument that one is the same as a thousand, at the very least for that one person...and therefore for me, because I'm in-tune to \"the least of these.\" I'm just cautious/wary about comparison of issues, because it generally never gets us far, and always has so many caveats as to generally render the arguments/comparisons meaningless.\n\n 5.) Nah, you're right. I'm not suggesting God had no design in mind for sexuality as a whole, nor has any cares about it. I was discussing \"original pattern,\" and even then solely with regard to sexual orientation. The ubiquity of homosexuality across the animal world leads me to believe that God either had no *moral* design in mind with regard to orientation, considering it to be as inconsequential as humans' development of taste preferences, or that he in fact designed it to be there from the very beginning. I could say much, much more here, but alas, packing.\n\n 1. Sorry to have left this so long. And if you feel like hanging out while you're in the area, let me know. :)\n\n 1) I think the testing of fruits, applied to people, is about whom to trust and imitate. This interpretation unites it with the Seven Woes in Matthew 23: 'The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses' seat; therefore do whatever they tell you, but do not do as they do.' If the test of fruit were applied to the Pharisees in order to deduce that their doctrines were false, this command would make no sense; if it's understood to mean they shouldn't be *trusted* even when they are obeyed, then it certainly remains a hard saying, but an intelligible one.\n\n 2) That makes sense.\n\n 3) Ah, I should have been more careful in how I phrased things. I do believe that right and wrong, viewed from another perspective, are basically words for 'what's good for humanity' and 'what's bad for humanity.' The unfortunate catch is that human beings are not always very good at discerning what is, in fact, best for us. The traditional contention is that, whatever other beneficial qualities it may have (which need not and should not be glossed over), gay sex is in fact bad for us, and that, whatever suffering it may involve us in, chastity (as traditionally understood) is good for us.\n\n A logical parallel occurs in the film 'Breaking Away,' where the main character pretends to be an Italian exchange student to impress a college girl; eventually, he confesses, and she is understandably hurt and angry, and leaves him: serious and real suffering follows on doing the right thing, whereas mutual delight existed while the lie remained in effect. That delight wouldn't have lasted, and we can see why; the traditionalist assertion is that the good things involved with gay sex won't last either. Lying is, obviously, not much like homosexuality; and I will say frankly that, for me personally, it takes a lot more faith to believe that gay sex is wrong than to believe that lying is wrong -- I have *no* intuitive sense of the wrongness of gay sex. But the parallel, that doing what's objectively good can hurt like hell, seems to me to stand.\n\n 4) I think wariness of comparisons is appropriate. All of them break down somewhere. I don't much like drawing this particular comparison, given the disgusting history of many traditionalists and ex-gay proponents implying or asserting that homosexuality and pedophilia naturally overlap. But I draw the comparison only in the one aspect of wanting *something* they can never licitly have.

I assume you are referring to the fact it says \"the visual appearance of the edit conflict is not important\"? I strongly disagree. You can not ignore something which is going to have a huge effect on the article like this. Until you do have an alternative to the format you proposed above, then I still hold the view that your proposal is not a solution. Angela 03:17, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)\nThanks for reading and understanding the proposal before commenting on it, Angela. \u2014 Nowhere was I suggesting that anyone should implement this change without giving consideration to the format. But for as long as we don't even know if people generally want this change at all, thinking about the format is a waste of time. If you disagree, then I strongly suggest you provide more constructive criticism, perhaps your idea of a better format, rather than destructively and discouragingly shooting down an idea based on a concern that isn't even under consideration yet. \u2014 Timwi 10:44, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)\nI have to agree. The edit conflict as of now is not bad. Everything has a learning curve. The edit conflict page is one of the easier things to learn. Frecklefoot 21:20, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)\nHence why Timwi stressed that the visual appearance was not what he was asking for comments on, only the principle. It may be that there is no visual appearance that would be acceptable, but it is probably too early to decide that just yet. - IMSoP 21:19, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)\n\nWell, my initial reaction to this is that it would be technically difficult. By that, I don't mean just \"how do you expect to code this\" (a challenge, but probably not an insurmountable one) but that your claim that \"the visual appearance of the edit conflict is not important\" may be over-stated. For such a system to work, there would need to be some way of presenting it that allowed:\n\n 1. a casual reader to still understand the article\n 2. an editor, preferably even one with little experience, to understand the existence and nature of the edit conflict\n 3. an editor, again preferably even an inexperienced one, to see how to correct the conflict\n\nThe first point is in some ways both the most important and the most challenging: if an edit conflict is left behind by two inexperienced (or rushed/lazy) editors, a visitor must be able to read the entire article without being distracted by the existence of the conflict. It could be hidden away on a seperate page (\"This page has conflicting versions\") but what version would then be presented to a visitor, and what would the user be given to edit? And how would we prevent edit conflicts proliferating as naive users edited on top of a version which was in a state of quantum indeterminacy?\n\nThe second and third points are important if the new system is to have value over the current one: it must be less confusing for new users, not more; and result in more definitive changes, not more TODO items in the 'pedia. I suspect that in answering the first point, answers would more or less emerge for the second and third ones: a usable presentation and editing system would entail an interface for describing and resolving the conflict.\n\nNote that this is all just initial reactions, and spurs for further discussion, not a permanent position or judgement of the idea. While my gut feeling is just \"make the current interface and explanation nicer\", it is always useful to look at alternative approaches to things, and evaluate them on their own merits. It puts me somewhat in mind of an idea that's drifted around my head for a while of a kind of pre-moderation mode wiki, where prospective changes could be stored, awaiting official approval, and further changes would build up on top of these prospective versions - perhaps it is this similarity that worries me, since it would seem to block the natural flow of the raw wiki process.\n\nI'll shut up now, and let others join the discussion. (Oh, tee hee, I got an edit conflict while discussing edit conflicts; I notice the resolution screen is still not by-section when both edits are within a section - there's one improvement to be made to the current approach, anyway!) -- IMSoP 21:19, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)\n\nI honestly see no problem with the Edit conflict screen.

Thai Time is new in town, in comparison, but who ever said something has to be old to be a gem? Thai Time’s small-town friendliness and tasty food is a pleasure to discover.\n\nA long list of appetizers include chicken and beef satay, crispy and soft Thai rolls, as well as meatless offerings of scallion and chive pancakes, edamame and vegetable tempura. The Vegetarian Sampler ($8.95) is a simple, yet delightful, array of small, crunchy bites. Two vegetable rolls consist of shredded carrots, celery and cabbage; four tofu triangles with a crisp outer layer, which lack fl avor, but pair well with the dipping sauces served with the plate; two golden triangles with a crispy outer layer hold a potato and pea mixture with yellow curry seasoning; and the last and most flavorful, four fried chive pancakes that almost melt in your mouth.\n\nThe Pad Thai ($8.95) is fresh and satisfying, with a great balance of ingredients. A crisp and healthy presence of bean sprouts offset the heavier sauciness of the noodles; the crumbled peanuts come in a generous pile off to one side, allowing one to mix them in according to their own taste. The shrimp topped off the aesthetically-pleasing pile nicely, and though the flavor of the shrimp did not disappoint, the meal could benefit from a more generous portion of the seafood.\n\nHouse specialities are offered during lunch and dinner, the former for a lesser price, and feature land and sea entrées complemented with fresh vegetables and herbs and all served with a cup of white rice. The Spicy Fish ($14.95) is a whole de-boned striped bass, deep-fried, topped with a mildly-hot chili sauce with sweet tones. Crispy basil leaves are as thin as paper and dress up the dish aesthetically, however, do not add much to the overall taste of the dish. The fish is served warm, moist and flakes away from itself with ease. The flavor of the fresh bass and the delicious chili sauce pair well and make the dish outstanding from other entrées. It certainly is deserving to be on the list of house specialities.\n\nSpicy curry dishes are offered with nine different accompaniments, including traditional chicken and vegetables, to lessoften seen squid and duck. The Panang Curry with scallops ($13.95) comes served in a deep dish, piled high with long baby corn, sliced carrots, large stalks of broccoli, green peppers, a few shredded lime leaves and a modest amount of medium-sized scallops with the curry flavoring in a warm sauce at the bottom. The vegetables are freshly steamed; the scallops are plump and juicy, and while they do not provide a strong fish-flavor, the curry makes up for any lack of taste. The curry sauce is the highlight of this dish; with such great taste, it seemingly would dress up any of the land, sea or vegetable options nicely.\n\nVegetarians are catered to with special offerings including Veggie Pad Thai, Veggie Fried Rice and Vegetable Delight with mixed vegetables in season, stir-fried with garlic sauce, tofu and sliced ginger. The menu also notes that several non-vegetarian soups and main dishes can be prepared meatless. Being that not many of the meals at Thai Time use dairy products, it can be expected that vegans will also find a generous amount of options to choose from.\n\nThai Time is a quiet gem that should not be overlooked. The staff is friendly, welcoming and provide a relaxed atmosphere, not rushing diners, while at the same time, being prompt. Don’t expect cheap American food, but rather eastern inspired meals that are priced for what you get – something a little different for the area, something of quality.<|endoftext|>Question: What is the capital of Zofingen District?\nAnswer: Zofingen<|endoftext|>Home Page\nwater fire air earth\nHome Page\n\nw/b 24th May\n\n\n\nLesson 1 - Goal: To share objects into equal groups\n\nImagine that you are going on a picnic with five\u00a0other people.

That moment a couple of weeks back, when I walked past my old house and spoke to the new tenant, who'd only just moved in cause they took a year to let the place out again. It's far more romantic than going back a second time two weeks later. There's nothing sensational about a follow-up. Most of the time.\n\nFollow-ups can be hugely impactful though. I did actually walk by that house again this morning and for some reason, the exact same girl was stood in the doorway drinking what I only assume was the same beverage. I looked at her and just started laughing. There was no effort involved.\n\nWith the conference earlier this week, I had to really wring out the impact. We had a talk about it with the group. I got to give examples of what the sessions had covered but at the end of the meeting, all we'd done was talk. There were no solid actions written down. So I started the discussion again, managed to get some more attention on the notes I'd taken and eventually arrived at the makings of a commitment. The charity would try to post at least one video on its channel each month.\n\nThat might seem really insignificant. I'd spent a whole day and thirteen sheets of paper learning the ins and outs of how to use marketing software and all that had come of it was a slight improvement in the frequency of video uploads. It was a start though. We were changing something. Some of the conference attendees probably didn't even get that far. Spending a whole day attending talks. Paying attention. Talking it over with their teams.

That moment a couple of weeks back, when I walked past my old house and spoke to the new tenant, who'd only just moved in cause they took a year to let the place out again. It's far more romantic than going back a second time two weeks later. There's nothing sensational about a follow-up. Most of the time.\n\nFollow-ups can be hugely impactful though. I did actually walk by that house again this morning and for some reason, the exact same girl was stood in the doorway drinking what I only assume was the same beverage. I looked at her and just started laughing. There was no effort involved.\n\nWith the conference earlier this week, I had to really wring out the impact. We had a talk about it with the group. I got to give examples of what the sessions had covered but at the end of the meeting, all we'd done was talk. There were no solid actions written down. So I started the discussion again, managed to get some more attention on the notes I'd taken and eventually arrived at the makings of a commitment. The charity would try to post at least one video on its channel each month.\n\nThat might seem really insignificant. I'd spent a whole day and thirteen sheets of paper learning the ins and outs of how to use marketing software and all that had come of it was a slight improvement in the frequency of video uploads. It was a start though. We were changing something. Some of the conference attendees probably didn't even get that far. Spending a whole day attending talks. Paying attention. Talking it over with their teams. Then failing to follow up and ultimately changing nothing.\n\n\nFizzfan said...\n\nOMG You have just Hi-lighted one of my oft repeated (sometimes quite aggressively) beefs about meetings, conferences and totally valid gripes about just about anything, but particularly business.\nSOLUTIONS, and more importantly, putting them into ACTION!!!\n\nWe have underwriting guides at work that are almost incomprehensible unless you\u2019ve been working there years. They were of course written by such people.\nWhat\u2019s needed is for them to be written by people who are still at their learning phase, because they have heightened awareness of things making sense.\nIt\u2019s taken 20 years of me moaning (along with quite a few others) but my current manager has finally agreed \u2018something\u2019 needs to be done. Can\u2019t help but think it\u2019s soemthing to do with the imminent influx of 7 newbies from outside the company who will have the bewildering task of understanding how to navigate the mind crushingly complex system before they even have a chance of successfully extracting the information they need.\nI\u2019m a great fan of concise, scenario based, step by step, bullet pointed procedure. I am not a fan of whys, wherefores and links unless absolutely necessary, especially when I have someone on the telephone on hold.\nBe interested to find out how long \u2018something\u2019 will take. I\u2019ll probably have retired.\n\nWell done for bucking the trend of talking to no end. Follow ups are hugely importance!

Practically no one actually works 8 hours per day, let alone more than that. And except for a very few occasions, nobody needs to. Most people do a couple of tasks a day, spend a couple of hours working, and try to pretend like they are working the rest of the time. This is no one's fault, but a consequence of a corporate environment that looks down upon anyone that doesn't sit patiently at their desk for the complete duration of every work day. Remote work has provided us with an amazing opportunity to increase our productivity and have more free time to dedicate to other important projects and areas of our life: family, sport, or any creative project that you may have. Not only that, but you'll also perform better in your day job.\n\nRemote work has provided us with an amazing opportunity to increase our productiveness and have more free time to dedicate to other important projects and areas of our life: family, sport, or any creative project that you may have.\n\nParkinson's law\n\nI recently came across an old adage that perfectly illustrates why most people at most 9 to 5 jobs are extremely inefficient: Parkinson's law states that work expands to fill the amount of time alloted to it. In simple terms, this means that whatever amount of time you have designated to complete a task, you'll most likely spend that exact amount completing it (or more). This happens not because we are sensational estimating machines, but rather because we suck at it, and tend to overestimate the amount of time that a task will take. For example, if you have 5 things that you need to do in a particular workday, you'll probably spend 8 hours doing them, even if you could've done it in two. In that sense, the wise thing to do is to loosely estimate how long a task will take, write it down, and try to complete it in that amount of time. You'll find out that you don't work nearly as many hours as you thought (except maybe for a couple of particularly heavy days), and that you can shorten your actual workday by half or even more. To be clear: this does NOT mean that you'll get less done or slack off and fail to meet deadlines. That's not the point. The point is that you can be much more efficient if you are aware of Parkinson's law and start completing tasks more quickly, instead of inflating them to fill out your 8 hour workday. This was really tricky before, when the bossman was constantly looking over your shoulder to see what you were doing, but with remote work agreements, you can implement this method without much trouble. Remember, this is a method to do MORE than before, not less, while having the added benefit that you'll have a couple of free extra hours to do whatever you want to do.\n\nParetto's law\n\nThis one is a very well known law of economics, that states that in almost any field and endeavor, 80% of the outputs come from 20% of the inputs. 80% of all wealth is owned by 20% of the people (or even less). 80% of all sales within a company come from 20% of the products. 80% of your income is determined by 20% of your actions. You can apply it almost everywhere, and it's a brilliant law to keep in mind to help you prioritize and assign value to the different things that you have to do day to day. In practical terms, it means this: most of the things you normally do have little to no effect in the outcomes, and some very few things have a massive effect. Focus on those main things and do them to the best of your ability, and you'll be generating massive results with not too much effort. This law helps us identify those key inputs and work on them, while ignoring those time-consumign tasks that do not really matter in the long run.\n\nHow to apply this knowledge\n\nThe whole point of this article was to give you strategies to be more productive, not merely share some laws about the nature of work, so here's how you can apply these laws to increase your productivity exponentially:\n\n1) Make a schedule: At the beginning of each day, list down all the things that you need to get done that day. Write down estimates for how long it will take you to complete them (aim to be precise but don't give yourself too much time for each task, remember Parkinson's law). Write it down as a checklist, and make sure to finish all the tasks by the end of the day.\n\n2) Focus on one particular task at a time: One thing that distracts you massively is multitasking. It is much more effective to focus on one specific thing and doing it quickly. Don't get distracted by your phone, email, or other pressing tasks.\n\n3) Prioritize: Be very aware of which tasks are essential and which are not. Do the important ones first (obviously).\n\n4) Leisure time: The whole point of being more productive is to have more free time while also performing well at work. Mix in some leisure time with the work related stuff that you have to do daily, to help minimize stress and have a balanced life.\n\n5) Do things right: Have some common sense. Don't simply ignore your boss because you finished your tasks for the day. These tips work, but you have to have some criteria to know when to work and when not to work. I know it's dumb that sometimes you have to sit at your desk merely pretending to work, but such is life, and getting fired isn't going to do you any good. And also, be good at your job.

But they have different rules about taxes on contributions and withdrawals, what happens if you need to take money out before retirement, and other things that can affect which account type you might be better off contributing to. We\u2019ve answered some of the top frequently asked questions about the differences between Roth and traditional to help you decide. (Calculator: Traditional vs. Roth )\n\nIs there a difference in how much I can contribute to a Roth vs. a traditional IRA?\n\nThe maximum yearly contribution to traditional and Roth IRAs is $6,000 for 2020. Those 50 and older can make an additional catch-up contribution of up to $1,000 to their traditional or Roth IRA, as well. In the case of a Roth, you may not be eligible to contribute that much, however, depending on your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) or your filing status.\n\nThere have been recent changes by Congress that have eliminated age limits for IRA contributions. Additionally, ages for required minimum distributions were also extended to 72. (Related: SECURE Act changes to retirement rules)\n\nCan I contribute to a Roth or traditional IRA no matter how much I earn?\n\nNo, at least for Roth IRAs. For married couples filing jointly in 2020, the ability to contribute to a Roth IRA is eliminated when modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) reaches $206,000. For taxpayers who are filing single or head of household, in 2020 the ability to contribute is eliminated when MAGI reaches $139,000. For taxpayers who are married but filing separately, the ability to contribute is eliminated when MAGI reaches $10,000.\n\nCalculate MAGI by adding to adjusted gross income", "base_doc": " tasks. Here are some easy tactics that you can apply to your own worklife to be much more productive while needing half the time.\n\nLet me tell you a little secret. Practically no one actually works 8 hours per day, let alone more than that. And except for a very few occasions, nobody needs to. Most people do a couple of tasks a day, spend a couple of hours working, and try to pretend like they are working the rest of the time. This is no one's fault, but a consequence of a corporate environment that looks down upon anyone that doesn't sit patiently at their desk for the complete duration of every work day. Remote work has provided us with an amazing opportunity to increase our productivity and have more free time to dedicate to other important projects and areas of our life: family, sport, or any creative project that you may have. Not only that, but you'll also perform better in your day job.\n\nRemote work has provided us with an amazing opportunity to increase our productiveness and have more free time to dedicate to other important projects and areas of our life: family, sport, or any creative project that you may have.\n\nParkinson's law\n\nI recently came across an old adage that perfectly illustrates why most people at most 9 to 5 jobs are extremely inefficient: Parkinson's law states that work expands to fill the amount of time alloted to it. In simple terms, this means that whatever amount of time you have designated to complete a task, you'll most likely spend that exact amount completing it (or more). This happens not because we are sensational estimating machines, but rather because we suck at it, and tend to overestimate the amount of time that a task will take. For example, if you have 5 things that you need to do in a particular workday, you'll probably spend 8 hours doing them, even if you could've done it in two. In that sense, the wise thing to do is to loosely estimate how long a task will take, write it down, and try to complete it in that amount of time. You'll find out that you don't work nearly as many hours as you thought (except maybe for a couple of particularly heavy days), and that you can shorten your actual workday by half or even more. To be clear: this does NOT mean that you'll get less done or slack off and fail to meet deadlines. That's not the point. The point is that you can be much more efficient if you are aware of Parkinson's law and start completing tasks more quickly, instead of inflating them to fill out your 8 hour workday. This was really tricky before, when the bossman was constantly looking over your shoulder to see what you were doing, but with remote work agreements, you can implement this method without much trouble. Remember, this is a method to do MORE than before, not less, while having the added benefit that you'll have a couple of free extra hours to do whatever you want to do.\n\nParetto's law\n\nThis one is a very well known law of economics, that states that in almost any field and endeavor, 80% of the outputs come from 20% of the inputs. 80% of all wealth is owned by 20% of the people (or even less). 80% of all sales within a company come from 20% of the products. 80% of your income is determined by 20% of your actions. You can apply it almost everywhere, and it's a brilliant law to keep in mind to help you prioritize and assign value to the different things that you have to do day to day. In practical terms, it means this: most of the things you normally do have little to no effect in the outcomes, and some very few things have a massive effect. Focus on those main things and do them to the best of your ability, and you'll be generating massive results with not too much effort. This law helps us identify those key inputs and work on them, while ignoring those time-consumign tasks that do not really matter in the long run.\n\nHow to apply this knowledge\n\nThe whole point of this article was to give you strategies to be more productive, not merely share some laws about the nature of work, so here's how you can apply these laws to increase your productivity exponentially:\n\n1) Make a schedule: At the beginning of each day, list down all the things that you need to get done that day. Write down estimates for how long it will take you to complete them (aim to be precise but don't give yourself too much time for each task, remember Parkinson's law). Write it down as a checklist, and make sure to finish all the tasks by the end of the day.\n\n2) Focus on one particular task at a time: One thing that distracts you massively is multitasking. It is much more effective to focus on one specific thing and doing it quickly. Don't get distracted by your phone, email, or other pressing tasks.\n\n3) Prioritize: Be very aware of which tasks are essential and which are not. Do the important ones first (obviously).\n\n4) Leisure time: The whole point of being more productive is to have more free time while also performing well at work. Mix in some leisure time with the work related stuff that you have to do daily, to help minimize stress and have a balanced life.\n\n5) Do things right: Have some common sense. Don't simply ignore your boss because you finished your tasks for the day. These tips work, but you have to have some criteria to know when to work and when not to work. I know it's dumb that sometimes you have to sit at your desk merely pretending to work, but such is life, and getting fired isn't going to do you any good. And also, be good at your job. Your boss will be more lenient with you if you do your work right and on time.\n\nRemember these two laws and these five tips and you'll soon find out that you'll get more done, and you'll do it better than before, with the added benefit of having more time to work on your side project or creative endeavor, more time to be with your loved ones or more time to read, work out, and do things that are beneficial for you on a larger scale.\n\n32 views0 comments\n\nRecent Posts\n\nSee All<|endoftext|>Original Sound\n\nHow is your recognition towards the so-called \u201cperfect sound re-production\u201d or \u201cperfect sound performance\u201d?

Geolocation is clearly not permanent solution because it includes obvious problems, such as: unwanted notifications (if you ever want to be notified that you can use your Starbucks card, for example, you\u2019ll be notified whenever you can possibly use your Starbucks card, whether you want to or not), and imperfect functionality indoors (when you are in a shopping mall, GPS has a hard time figuring out exactly where you are).\n\nSo if geolocation is not the ideal permanent solution, why did Apple exclude NFC from the iPhone 5?\n\n1) Leverage available products, and other people\u2019s money (OPM). There are no iPhone apps in the Apple App Store that support NFC, which makes sense since there has never been an iPhone that supports NFC. By contrast, there are dozens of applications that support QR codes and bar codes. Any iPhone app that displays a QR code for the purpose of being scanned by a terminal is a candidate for Passbook. The beauty of this model is that some company other than Apple has already paid to develop the QR/bar code processing, paid for training employees, and paid for scanning equipment needed at point-of-sale. With all of this third-party investment in place, a company that wants to put their ticket/coupon/card into Passbook simply needs to load their information into the Passbook template. From there, it can take advantage of the key Passbook feature: opening from a locked screen.\n\n2) Locked\u2013screen access. Passbook opens from a locked screen. No third-party app can do that. Because Apple writes Passbook, it is integrated with the OS, which allows the app to open directly from a locked iPhone screen, straight to the scan-able code, which is a considerable advantage because it saves the user 2 to 4 steps per transaction. This is a strong competitive advantage over any app provider and a reason to get Passbook in the marketplace sooner than later.\n\n3) The hardware and the battery: We know NFC technology takes up physical space within the phone, and uses power from the battery. Judging by the previous two points in this article, Apple is choosing to take advantage of systems and technology have already been deployed. By not including an NFC chip in the iPhone 5, Apple has time to figure out if it really wants to include an NFC chip in the next version of the iPhone, or possibly the version after that. If they choose to include NFC in a future version, they will have time to figure out where to squeeze in the NFC chip within the very crowded chassis of the 18% thinner iPhone 5. Also, Apple is serious about maintaining long battery life between recharges, so they will want to ensure that the NFC chip does not use too much power. For example, consider Apple\u2019s deployment of 4G technologies. 4G has been around for years now, but the iPhone 5 is the first iPhone to include 4G compatibility. Why? According to the press conference this week, Apple wanted to make sure they could maintain a long battery life because 4G uses more power than 3G. So, if Apple was willing to wait over 2 years to get the customer experience right with 4G, it makes sense that they would be willing to wait to get it right with NFC.\n\n4) Big Data Has to Start Somewhere: So why didn\u2019t Apple simply wait for an iPhone with NFC before it deployed Passbook? Understanding customer behavior of the mobile wallet is important to try to understand what each customer is ultimately worth over time. Apple will begin collecting whatever data it can with the sale of the first iPhone; Apple will eventually be able to draw conclusions based on this data. For example, Google Wallet has been in the market since in September 2011. Google appears to be making major decisions already (the move to the cloud and the elimination of the prepaid card), which are based in part on the full year of market data it has accumulated. Compare that to Isis, which", "base_doc": "\u00a0 Dragonzord continues to lay on the ground.\u00a0 Red Ranger yells out, Dragonzord power!\u00a0 This is enough to break the spell Dragonzord is under.\u00a0 Dragonzord quickly gets back up and is able to move freely.\u00a0 Megazord grabs a hold of Hatchasaurus.\u00a0 Dragonzord walks over and uses it's tail to strike Hatchasaurus.\u00a0 This knocks Red Ranger and Cardiatron out.\u00a0 The rest of the Rangers are stun to see Cardiatron.\u00a0 Cardiatron and Red Ranger battle.\u00a0 Red Ranger eventually destroys Cardiatron with the Power Sword and Dragon Dagger.\u00a0 Red Ranger is ready to destroy Hatchasaurus.\u00a0 Red Ranger summons Titanus and Ultrazord is formed.\u00a0 Hatchasaurus charges towards Ultrazord.\u00a0 Ultrazord fires all weapons and Hatchasaurus is destroyed.\u00a0\n\n\nTo visit this page on the Villains Wikia, click here.\n\nAd blocker interference detected!\n\n<|endoftext|>A couple of months ago, I was buying gas at a nearby convenience store for $1.33.9.

Geolocation is clearly not permanent solution because it includes obvious problems, such as: unwanted notifications (if you ever want to be notified that you can use your Starbucks card, for example, you\u2019ll be notified whenever you can possibly use your Starbucks card, whether you want to or not), and imperfect functionality indoors (when you are in a shopping mall, GPS has a hard time figuring out exactly where you are).\n\nSo if geolocation is not the ideal permanent solution, why did Apple exclude NFC from the iPhone 5?\n\n1) Leverage available products, and other people\u2019s money (OPM). There are no iPhone apps in the Apple App Store that support NFC, which makes sense since there has never been an iPhone that supports NFC. By contrast, there are dozens of applications that support QR codes and bar codes. Any iPhone app that displays a QR code for the purpose of being scanned by a terminal is a candidate for Passbook. The beauty of this model is that some company other than Apple has already paid to develop the QR/bar code processing, paid for training employees, and paid for scanning equipment needed at point-of-sale. With all of this third-party investment in place, a company that wants to put their ticket/coupon/card into Passbook simply needs to load their information into the Passbook template. From there, it can take advantage of the key Passbook feature: opening from a locked screen.\n\n2) Locked\u2013screen access. Passbook opens from a locked screen. No third-party app can do that. Because Apple writes Passbook, it is integrated with the OS, which allows the app to open directly from a locked iPhone screen, straight to the scan-able code, which is a considerable advantage because it saves the user 2 to 4 steps per transaction. This is a strong competitive advantage over any app provider and a reason to get Passbook in the marketplace sooner than later.\n\n3) The hardware and the battery: We know NFC technology takes up physical space within the phone, and uses power from the battery. Judging by the previous two points in this article, Apple is choosing to take advantage of systems and technology have already been deployed. By not including an NFC chip in the iPhone 5, Apple has time to figure out if it really wants to include an NFC chip in the next version of the iPhone, or possibly the version after that. If they choose to include NFC in a future version, they will have time to figure out where to squeeze in the NFC chip within the very crowded chassis of the 18% thinner iPhone 5. Also, Apple is serious about maintaining long battery life between recharges, so they will want to ensure that the NFC chip does not use too much power. For example, consider Apple\u2019s deployment of 4G technologies. 4G has been around for years now, but the iPhone 5 is the first iPhone to include 4G compatibility. Why? According to the press conference this week, Apple wanted to make sure they could maintain a long battery life because 4G uses more power than 3G. So, if Apple was willing to wait over 2 years to get the customer experience right with 4G, it makes sense that they would be willing to wait to get it right with NFC.\n\n4) Big Data Has to Start Somewhere: So why didn\u2019t Apple simply wait for an iPhone with NFC before it deployed Passbook? Understanding customer behavior of the mobile wallet is important to try to understand what each customer is ultimately worth over time. Apple will begin collecting whatever data it can with the sale of the first iPhone; Apple will eventually be able to draw conclusions based on this data. For example, Google Wallet has been in the market since in September 2011. Google appears to be making major decisions already (the move to the cloud and the elimination of the prepaid card), which are based in part on the full year of market data it has accumulated.

Simple no dough.\n\nBut I am thinking about a cheap 4x5 like an old Calumet CC-400 and one lens probably a 210mm. Why you ask ? There's just no digital camera that makes as pretty a picture when conditions are just right.

The same is true for having live view option vs. depending only on the viewfinder. Each picture taking opportunity is unique, so it makes sense to use the best possible gear to take the photos.\n\nOf the DSLRs I've owned, my favorite and the one I still occasionally use is the Olympus E-1. Only 5 Mpixel, lethargic is too kind for the write speed, ISO 800 is about the highest I like to shoot with it ...\nBut it is such a sweet camera in the hand, so quiet and smooth, so responsive to the shutter, and those are the nicest 5 Mpixels I can imagine.\n\nI've moved away from using DSLRs mostly, I've gone to the much smaller, lighter, quieter mirrorless TTL bodies, but I will hang onto my E-1 and enjoy it for years to come.

They could do great things, but they involved compromises one wouldn't care to make today. 3 1/2 years ago, cameras got there, at least for me. And in 3 1/2 years, I'd gladly take that D700. I plan to still be using mine. I'll replace it, to be sure. But where I replaced my 3 previous DSLRs because I found them lacking, I'm certain I'll replace the D700 only when it dies and I absolutely have to.\n\nI would take it, make a picture of the box with my old Pentax and post it on FB to tell everyone I have one ...\n\nI love digital photography. I hate digital cameras.\n\nWith the technology continually evolving, there is always the need to upgrade at some point, although I am still shooting with a Canon 40D.\n\nIn 1981, I bought a Minolta XD7, XD11 in the US, and it gave me 25 years of good service, including several years as a press photographer, shooting in all weathers.

Except in the Kingdom of Prussia from the 19th century, the title of Graf was not restricted by primogeniture: it was inherited by all legitimate descendants in the male line of the original titleholder, the males also inheriting an approximately equal share of the family's wealth and estates. Usually a hyphenated suffix indicated which of the familial lands a particular line of counts held, e.g. Castell-Rudenhausen.\n\nIn the medieval Holy Roman Empire, some counts took or were granted unique variations of the gr\u00e4fliche title, often relating to a specific domain or jurisdiction of responsibility, e.g. Landgraf, Markgraf, Pfalzgraf (Count Palatine), Burggraf, Wildgraf, Waldgraf, Altgraf, Raugraf, etc. Although as a title Graf ranked, officially, below those of Herzog (duke) and Furst (prince), the Holy Roman Emperor could and did recognise unique concessions of authority or rank to some of these nobles, raising them to the status of gefurstete Graf or \"princely count\". But a grafliche title with such a prefix did not always signify a higher than comital rank or membership in the Hochadel. Only the more important of these titles, historically associated with degrees of sovereignty, remained in use by the 19th century, i.e. Margraf and Landgraf.\n\nFor a list of the titles of the rank of Count etymologically related to Graf (and for other equivalents) see article Count.\n\n\nThe word Graf is said to derive ultimately from the Greek verb graphein (\"to write\"), but this may be fanciful: Paul the Deacon wrote in Latin ca 790: \"the count (comes) of the Bavarians that they call gravio who governed Bauzanum and other strongholds\u2026\" (Historia Langobardorum, V.xxxvi); this may be read to make the term a Germanic one, but by then using Latin terms was quite common.\n\nList of nobiliary titles containing the term graf[edit]\n\nSome are approximately of comital rank, some higher, some lower.

Since the feudal era any count whose territory lay within the Empire and was under the immediate jurisdiction of the Emperor with a shared vote in the Reichstag came to be considered a member of the \"upper nobility\" (Hochadel) in Germany, along with princes (F\u00fcrsten), dukes (Herz\u00f6ge), electors, and the emperor himself.[2] A count who was not a Reichsgraf was only likely to possess a mesne fief (Afterlehen) \u2014 he was subject to an immediate prince of the empire, such as a duke or elector.\n\nHowever, the Holy Roman Emperors also occasionally granted the title of Reichsgraf to subjects and foreigners who did not possess and were not granted immediate territories \u2014 or, sometimes, any territory at all.[2] Such titles were purely honorific. In English, Reichsgraf is usually translated simply as count and is combined with a territorial suffix (e.g. Count of Holland, Count Reuss), or a surname Count Fugger, Count von Browne.

Except in the Kingdom of Prussia from the 19th century, the title of Graf was not restricted by primogeniture: it was inherited by all legitimate descendants in the male line of the original titleholder, the males also inheriting an approximately equal share of the family's wealth and estates. Usually a hyphenated suffix indicated which of the familial lands a particular line of counts held, e.g. Castell-Rudenhausen.\n\nIn the medieval Holy Roman Empire, some counts took or were granted unique variations of the gr\u00e4fliche title, often relating to a specific domain or jurisdiction of responsibility, e.g. Landgraf, Markgraf, Pfalzgraf (Count Palatine), Burggraf, Wildgraf, Waldgraf, Altgraf, Raugraf, etc. Although as a title Graf ranked, officially, below those of Herzog (duke) and Furst (prince), the Holy Roman Emperor could and did recognise unique concessions of authority or rank to some of these nobles, raising them to the status of gefurstete Graf or \"princely count\". But a grafliche title with such a prefix did not always signify a higher than comital rank or membership in the Hochadel. Only the more important of these titles, historically associated with degrees of sovereignty, remained in use by the 19th century, i.e. Margraf and Landgraf.\n\nFor a list of the titles of the rank of Count etymologically related to Graf (and for other equivalents) see article Count.\n\n\nThe word Graf is said to derive ultimately from the Greek verb graphein (\"to write\"), but this may be fanciful: Paul the Deacon wrote in Latin ca 790: \"the count (comes) of the Bavarians that they call gravio who governed Bauzanum and other strongholds\u2026\" (Historia Langobardorum, V.xxxvi); this may be read to make the term a Germanic one, but by then using Latin terms was quite common.\n\nList of nobiliary titles containing the term graf[edit]\n\nSome are approximately of comital rank, some higher, some lower.

Since the feudal era any count whose territory lay within the Empire and was under the immediate jurisdiction of the Emperor with a shared vote in the Reichstag came to be considered a member of the \"upper nobility\" (Hochadel) in Germany, along with princes (F\u00fcrsten), dukes (Herz\u00f6ge), electors, and the emperor himself.[2] A count who was not a Reichsgraf was only likely to possess a mesne fief (Afterlehen) \u2014 he was subject to an immediate prince of the empire, such as a duke or elector.\n\nHowever, the Holy Roman Emperors also occasionally granted the title of Reichsgraf to subjects and foreigners who did not possess and were not granted immediate territories \u2014 or, sometimes, any territory at all.[2] Such titles were purely honorific. In English, Reichsgraf is usually translated simply as count and is combined with a territorial suffix (e.g. Count of Holland, Count Reuss), or a surname Count Fugger, Count von Browne.

Gurney<|endoftext|>Find a Security Clearance Job!\n\n\nNorth Yemen Civil War (1962-1970)\n\nThe Ottoman Empire withdrew from Yemen in 1918 and Imam Yahya took control over the country until his death in 1948. During his rule Yemen joined the Arab League (1945) and the United Nations (1947). Imam Yahya was assassinated during a 1948 palace coup attempt and was succeeded by his son, Ahmad, who ruled Yemen until his death in 1962. Ahmad's rule became known for its repression, tension with the British over their presence in south Yemen, and pressure to support the Arab nationalist regime of Egyptian President Gamal Abdul Nasser. The United Arab Republic (Egypt) had had a special relationship with Yemen in the past. In March 1958, Yemen joined it to form the United Arab States, but this association was dissolved in December 1961, shortly after Syria seceded from the United Arab Republic.\n\nSaudi Arabia shared an extended border with Yemen, much of it still undefined. A further factor in the situation was that Yemen had long claimed that the Aden Protectorate was legally part of its territory. The British-controlled Government of the South Arabian Federation, which included the Aden Protectorate, therefore also closely followed developments in Yemen.\n\nOn 19 September 1962, Imam Ahmed bin Yahya died and was succeeded by his son, Imam Mohammed Al-Badr. A week later, a rebellion of revolutionary forces led by the army overthrew the new Imam and proclaimed the Yemen Arab Republic. Following his overthrow, Imam Al-Badr managed to escape from San'a, the capital, and, with other members of the royal family, rallied the tribes in the northern part of the country. With financial and material support from external sources, the royalists fought a fierce guerrilla campaign against the republican forces. The revolutionary Government accused Saudi Arabia of harboring and encouraging Yemeni royalists, and threatened to carry the war into Saudi Arabian territory. The Imam, on the other hand, claimed that the army rebellion was fostered and aided by Egypt, which denied the charge. At the beginning of October, large numbers of United Arab Republic forces were dispatched to Yemen at the request of the revolutionary Government to assist the republican forces in their fight against the royalists.\n\nThe new Government was recognized by the United Arab Republic on 29 September and by the Soviet Union the next day, but other major Powers with interests in the area, including the United Kingdom and the United States, withheld action on the question of recognition. The revolution was supported by Egypt who supplied troops and supplies, while Badr was supported by Saudi Arabia and Jordan. The newly emergent forces representing republicanism and social progress were concentrated in the major cities, while the monarchist, reactionary, and theocratic royalists launched a successful counterrevolution from the countryside with the support of the rural population.\n\nThe proximate cause of the conflict was the arrival of U.A.R. Egyptian troops in the Yemen to support a palace coup by republican revolutionists on the night of 26 September 1962. Saudi Arabia, fearing the revolutionary upsurge on its borders, reacted by sending supplies and money to the pro-royalist forces behind the deposed Imam Muhammad al-Badr, who led the royalist counter-revolutionists. From the republican standpoint, Saudi assistance (never in the form of troops) constituted interference in the affairs of the Yemen. From the Saudi standpoint, the U.A.R. military presence on the Arabian peninsula constituted a threat to its monarchy and its oil fields. The belief was that the U.A.R. sought to extend the Yemeni revolution to all of southern Arabia and bring about the collapse of the Federation of South Arabia, as it was then called.\n\nIn the early months of 1963, the conflict was intensified on all fronts. The total Egyptian forces rose from 12,000 to an estimated 28,000, with a sharp increase of Russian and Soviet bloc personnel. While the U.A.R. started to withdraw its forces in the early days of May 1963, the ships and planes that ferried troops to Egypt invariably returned with replacements in systematic rotation. Consequently, there was no net reduction of Egyptian forces in the Yemen, nor did Saudi Arabia fully terminate its aid to the royalists.\n\nThe British government endeavored, not wholly successfully, to discourage Aden-based operations in support of the Yemeni royalists. The British mercenaries fighting with the royalists were \"a private enterprise.\" The presence of an Imam in Yemen was essential to both the Zaidis and Shafeis.

The Adamses resided in the House for the shortest period of time, while it was being constructed. Mrs Adams is most frequently found in the East Room of the White House, a place that despite it\u2019s current grandeur, was used as a laundry room by Abigail. Various sources have stated she is seen carrying a laundry basket or simply an armload of clothing to or from the room. Her ghost was seen as early as 1913 as documented in The Washington Herald on March 2, 1913:\n\nPresident-elect Wilson when he comes to Washington will take up his residence in a haunted dwelling. The White House has long been famous for its ghosts.\n\nThe most interesting of these spectres is that of a woman with a cap of antique pattern, a garment resembling a lace shawl, and widely distended hoop-skirts.She is not seen at midnight, as is customary with most well-regulated ghosts, but just before daybreak, gliding slowly along the hallway, which extends lengthwise through the middle of the White House. It is always from the west end to the east that she moves, and when she reaches the closed double doors, which give entrance to the East Room, she passes through them, as if they offered no obstacle, and vanishes.\n\nNobody can tell with positiveness, of course, but the supposition is that the phantom is that of Abigail Adams, the first mistress of the White House. She took up her residence in the mansion in the autumn of 1800, when it was as yet by no means finished, and history relates that she used the East Room (originally intended for a banqueting hall) as a laundry, drying the family wash there.\n\nThe next ghost in line of succession is that of Dolley Madison, wife of fourth President James Madison. Best known today for her heroic rescue of the Gilbert Stuart painting of George Washington before the British set fire to the White House during the War of 1812, Mrs Madison\u2019s ghost is actually an outdoor haunting.\n\nThe beautiful rose garden which is so well-known and often seen at the White House is there courtesy of Mrs Madison. Dolley loved her garden so much that 100 years later, when First Lady Edith Wilson (wife of President Woodrow Wilson) wanted to have the garden dug up, garden workers reported that Dolley\u2019s ghost prevented them from complying with her request. Any inexplicable scent of roses in the White House is attributed to Mrs Madison\u2019s lingering presence.\n\nGhost No. 3 is not a president nor a president\u2019s wife, but actually that of a man who in life was bent on destroying the White House. In 1814, the War of 1812 was well under way and on August 24th of that year, 4,000 battle hardened British troops moved toward Washington, bent on destruction. Though the more valuable port at Baltimore lay not far away, the British leaders felt that a sharper blow would be to burn down the country\u2019s capital.\n\nOne of the men sent to set the President\u2019s Palace (as the White House was then known) also became an unfortunate victim of his own work. No name is associated with this ghost, but it appears that he returns on occasion in an attempt to finish the job. After the Truman-era renovations, it is believed the spirit was seen attempting to set fire to a bed. (No indication of a real fire or just a ghostly fire that he laid on the bed.)

Named in honor of the famed physicist Enrico Fermi who first proposed it, this paradox addresses the apparent disparity between the expected probability that intelligent life is plentiful in the Universe, and the apparent lack of evidence of extra-terrestrial intelligence (ETI).\n\nIn the decades since Enrico Fermi first posed the question that encapsulates this paradox (\u201cWhere is everybody?\u201d), scientists have attempted to explain this disparity one way or another. But in a new study conducted by three famed scholars from the Future of Humanity Institute (FHI) at Oxford University, the paradox is reevaluated in such a way that it makes it seem likely that humanity is alone in the observable Universe.\n\nThe study, titled \u201cDissolving the Fermi Paradox\u201c, recently appeared online. The study was jointly-conducted by Anders Sandberg, a Research Fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute and a Martin Senior Fellow at Oxford University; Eric Drexler, the famed engineer who popularized the concept of nanotechnology; and Tod Ord, the famous Australian moral philosopher at Oxford University.\n\n\nFor the sake of their study, the team took a fresh look at the Drake Equation, the famous equation proposed by astronomer Dr. Frank Drake in the 1960s. Based on hypothetical values for a number of factors, this equation has traditionally been used to demonstrate that \u2013 even if the amount of life developing at any given site is small \u2013 the sheer multitude of possible sites should yield a large number of potentially observable civilizations.\n\nThis equation states that the number of civilizations (N) in our galaxy that we might able to communicate can be determined by multiplying the average rate of star formation in our galaxy (R*), the fraction of those stars which have planets (fp), the number of planets that can actually support life (ne), the number of planets that will develop life (fl), the number of planets that will develop intelligent life (fi),\u00a0 the number civilizations that would develop transmission technologies (fc), and the length of time that these civilizations would have to transmit their signals into space (L). Mathematically, this is expressed as:\n\n\nDr. Sandberg is no stranger to the Fermi Paradox, nor is he shy about attempting to resolve it. In a previous study, titled \u201cThat is not dead which can eternal lie: the aestivation hypothesis for resolving Fermi\u2019s paradox\u201c, Sandberg and his associates proposed that the Fermi Paradox arises from the fact that ETIs are not dead, but currently in a state of hibernation \u2013 what they called \u201caestivation\u201d \u2013 and awaiting better conditions in the Universe.\n\nIn a study conducted back in 2013, Sandberg and Stuart Armstrong (also a research associate with the FHI and one of the co-authors on this study) extended the Fermi Paradox to look beyond our own galaxy, addressing how more advanced civilizations would feasibly be able to launch colonization projects with relative ease (and even travel between galaxies without difficulty).\n\nAs Dr. Sandberg told Universe Today via email:\n\n\u201cOne can answer [the Fermi Paradox] by saying intelligence is very rare, but then it needs to be tremendously rare. Another possibility is that intelligence doesn\u2019t last very long, but it is enough that one civilization survives for it to become visible. Attempts at explaining it by having all intelligences acting in the same way (staying quiet, avoiding contact with us, transcending) fail since they require every individual belonging to every society in every civilization to behave in the same way, the strongest sociological claim ever. Claiming long-range settlement or communication are impossible requires assuming a surprisingly low technology ceiling. Whatever the answer is, it more or less has to be strange.\u201d\n\nIn this latest study, Sandberg, Drexler and Ord reconsider the parameters of the Drake Equation by incorporating models of chemical and genetic transitions on paths to the origin of life. From this, they show that there is a considerable amount of scientific uncertainties that span multiple orders of magnitude. Or as Dr. Sandberg explained it:\n\n\u201cMany parameters are very uncertain given current knowledge. While we have learned a lot more about the astrophysical ones since Drake and Sagan in the 1960s, we are still very uncertain about the probability of life and intelligence. When people discuss the equation it is not uncommon to hear them say something like: \u201cthis parameter is uncertain, but let\u2019s make a guess and remember that it is a guess\u201d, finally reaching a result that they admit is based on guesses. But this result will be stated as single number, and that anchors us to an *apparently* exact estimate \u2013 when it should have a proper uncertainty range.\u00a0 This often leads to overconfidence, and worse, the Drake equation is very sensitive to bias: if you are hopeful a small nudge upwards in several uncertain estimates will give a hopeful result, and if you are a pessimist you can easily get a low result.\u201d\n\n\nAs such, Sandberg, Drexler and Ord looked at the equation\u2019s parameters as uncertainty ranges. Instead of focusing on what value they might have, they looked at what the largest and smallest values they could have based on current knowledge. Whereas some values have become well constrained \u2013 such as the number of planets in our galaxy based on exoplanet studies and the number that exist within a star\u2019s habitable zone \u2013 others remain far more uncertain.\n\nWhen they combined these uncertainties, rather than the guesswork that often go into the Fermi Paradox, the team got a distribution as a result. Naturally, this resulted in a broad spread due to the number of uncertainties involved. But as Dr. Sandberg explained, it did provide them with an estimate of the likelihood that humanity (given what we know) is alone in the galaxy:\n\n\u201cWe found that even using the guesstimates in the literature (we took them and randomly combined the parameter estimates) one can have a situation where the mean number of civilizations in the galaxy might be fairly high \u2013 say a hundred \u2013 and yet the probability that we are alone in the galaxy is 30%! The reason is that there is a very skew distribution of likelihood.\n\n\u201cIf we instead try to review the scientific knowledge, things get even more extreme. This is because the probability of getting life and intelligence on a planet has an *extreme* uncertainty given what we know \u2013 we cannot rule out that it happens nearly everywhere there is the right conditions, but we cannot rule out that it is astronomically rare. This leads to an even stronger uncertainty about the number of civilizations, drawing us to conclude that there is a fairly high likelihood that we are alone. However, we *also* conclude that we shouldn\u2019t be too surprised if we find intelligence!\u201d\n\nIs anybody out there? Anybody at all? Credit: UCLA SETI Group/Yuri Beletsky, Carnegie Las Campanas Observatory\n\nIn the end, the team\u2019s conclusions do not mean that humanity is alone in the Universe, or that the odds of finding evidence of extra-terrestrial civilizations (both past and present) is unlikely. Instead, it simply means that we can say with greater confidence \u2013 based on what we know \u2013 that humanity is most likely the only intelligent species in the Milky Way Galaxy at present.\n\nAnd of course, this all comes down to the uncertainties we currently have to contend with when it comes to SETI and the Drake Equation. In that respect, the study conducted by Sandberg, Drexler and Ord is an indication that much more needs to be learned before we can attempt to determine just how likely ETI is out there.\n\n\u201cWhat we are not showing is that SETI is pointless \u2013 quite the opposite!\u201d said Dr. Sandberg. \u201cThere is a tremendous level of uncertainty to reduce. The paper shows that astrobiology and SETI can play a big role in reducing the uncertainty about some of the parameters. Even terrestrial biology may give us important information about the probability of life emerging and the conditions leading to intelligence. Finally, one important conclusion we find is that lack of observed intelligence does not strongly make us conclude that intelligence doesn\u2019t last long: the stars are not foretelling our doom!\u201d\n\nSo take heart, SETI enthusiasts! While the Drake Equation may not be something we can produce accurate values for anytime soon, the more we learn, the more refined the values will be. And remember, we only need to find intelligent life once in order for the Fermi Paradox to be resolved!\n\nFurther Reading: arXiv<|endoftext|>Friday, October 9, 2009\n\nSurprise, Surprise.

In a previous study, titled \u201cThat is not dead which can eternal lie: the aestivation hypothesis for resolving Fermi\u2019s paradox\u201c, Sandberg and his associates proposed that the Fermi Paradox arises from the fact that ETIs are not dead, but currently in a state of hibernation \u2013 what they called \u201caestivation\u201d \u2013 and awaiting better conditions in the Universe.\n\nIn a study conducted back in 2013, Sandberg and Stuart Armstrong (also a research associate with the FHI and one of the co-authors on this study) extended the Fermi Paradox to look beyond our own galaxy, addressing how more advanced civilizations would feasibly be able to launch colonization projects with relative ease (and even travel between galaxies without difficulty).\n\nAs Dr. Sandberg told Universe Today via email:\n\n\u201cOne can answer [the Fermi Paradox] by saying intelligence is very rare, but then it needs to be tremendously rare. Another possibility is that intelligence doesn\u2019t last very long, but it is enough that one civilization survives for it to become visible. Attempts at explaining it by having all intelligences acting in the same way (staying quiet, avoiding contact with us, transcending) fail since they require every individual belonging to every society in every civilization to behave in the same way, the strongest sociological claim ever. Claiming long-range settlement or communication are impossible requires assuming a surprisingly low technology ceiling. Whatever the answer is, it more or less has to be strange.\u201d\n\nIn this latest study, Sandberg, Drexler and Ord reconsider the parameters of the Drake Equation by incorporating models of chemical and genetic transitions on paths to the origin of life. From this, they show that there is a considerable amount of scientific uncertainties that span multiple orders of magnitude. Or as Dr. Sandberg explained it:\n\n\u201cMany parameters are very uncertain given current knowledge. While we have learned a lot more about the astrophysical ones since Drake and Sagan in the 1960s, we are still very uncertain about the probability of life and intelligence. When people discuss the equation it is not uncommon to hear them say something like: \u201cthis parameter is uncertain, but let\u2019s make a guess and remember that it is a guess\u201d, finally reaching a result that they admit is based on guesses. But this result will be stated as single number, and that anchors us to an *apparently* exact estimate \u2013 when it should have a proper uncertainty range.\u00a0 This often leads to overconfidence, and worse, the Drake equation is very sensitive to bias: if you are hopeful a small nudge upwards in several uncertain estimates will give a hopeful result, and if you are a pessimist you can easily get a low result.\u201d\n\n\nAs such, Sandberg, Drexler and Ord looked at the equation\u2019s parameters as uncertainty ranges. Instead of focusing on what value they might have, they looked at what the largest and smallest values they could have based on current knowledge. Whereas some values have become well constrained \u2013 such as the number of planets in our galaxy based on exoplanet studies and the number that exist within a star\u2019s habitable zone \u2013 others remain far more uncertain.\n\nWhen they combined these uncertainties, rather than the guesswork that often go into the Fermi Paradox, the team got a distribution as a result. Naturally, this resulted in a broad spread due to the number of uncertainties involved. But as Dr. Sandberg explained, it did provide them with an estimate of the likelihood that humanity (given what we know) is alone in the galaxy:\n\n\u201cWe found that even using the guesstimates in the literature (we took them and randomly combined the parameter estimates) one can have a situation where the mean number of civilizations in the galaxy might be fairly high \u2013 say a hundred \u2013 and yet the probability that we are alone in the galaxy is 30%! The reason is that there is a very skew distribution of likelihood.\n\n\u201cIf we instead try to review the scientific knowledge, things get even more extreme. This is because the probability of getting life and intelligence on a planet has an *extreme* uncertainty given what we know \u2013 we cannot rule out that it happens nearly everywhere there is the right conditions, but we cannot rule out that it is astronomically rare. This leads to an even stronger uncertainty about the number of civilizations, drawing us to conclude that there is a fairly high likelihood that we are alone. However, we *also* conclude that we shouldn\u2019t be too surprised if we find intelligence!\u201d\n\nIs anybody out there? Anybody at all? Credit: UCLA SETI Group/Yuri Beletsky, Carnegie Las Campanas Observatory\n\nIn the end, the team\u2019s conclusions do not mean that humanity is alone in the Universe, or that the odds of finding evidence of extra-terrestrial civilizations (both past and present) is unlikely. Instead, it simply means that we can say with greater confidence \u2013 based on what we know \u2013 that humanity is most likely the only intelligent species in the Milky Way Galaxy at present.\n\nAnd of course, this all comes down to the uncertainties we currently have to contend with when it comes to SETI and the Drake Equation. In that respect, the study conducted by Sandberg, Drexler and Ord is an indication that much more needs to be learned before we can attempt to determine just how likely ETI is out there.\n\n\u201cWhat we are not showing is that SETI is pointless \u2013 quite the opposite!\u201d said Dr. Sandberg. \u201cThere is a tremendous level of uncertainty to reduce. The paper shows that astrobiology and SETI can play a big role in reducing the uncertainty about some of the parameters. Even terrestrial biology may give us important information about the probability of life emerging and the conditions leading to intelligence. Finally, one important conclusion we find is that lack of observed intelligence does not strongly make us conclude that intelligence doesn\u2019t last long: the stars are not foretelling our doom!\u201d\n\nSo take heart, SETI enthusiasts! While the Drake Equation may not be something we can produce accurate values for anytime soon, the more we learn, the more refined the values will be. And remember, we only need to find intelligent life once in order for the Fermi Paradox to be resolved!\n\nFurther Reading: arXiv<|endoftext|>Friday, October 9, 2009\n\nSurprise, Surprise.

This is a prime time to get new parents in touch with established parents. Encourage these parents to share how much their baby enjoys getting adjusted, and the amazing improvements in their child\u2019s health since starting chiropractic care in your office.\n\n#4 Some parents will think or say things like, \u201cIf it\u2019s not broken, don\u2019t fix it,\u201d or they may express fear, such as, \u201cIt looks like you are going to hurt my newborn\u2019s neck.\u201d However, if the subluxation is present, it is detrimental to the newborn\u2019s health and needs to be corrected. So teach parents how gentle the adjustments are. Let them know that, many times, the adjustments are so gentle that babies sleep through them. Once the parent understands the important value that the spine and nervous system play in a child\u2019s growth and development, they should be afraid NOT to get their child adjusted. That would mean leaving subluxation in the spine that will compromise the child\u2019s ability to be well for the rest of his or her life.\n\n#3 Share with your new and prospective patients that it\u2019s actually safer to adjust newborns than elderly patients, because babies\u2019 spines are more flexible and pliable as opposed to elderly patients, who are more rigid and can have arthritic and degenerative changes.\n\n#2 Depending upon the technique the chiropractor uses, an effective demonstration to put nervous moms and dads at ease about the amount of force used in the adjustment is to have them place a finger on their eyeball and let them know that a similar amount of pressure will be used in the baby\u2019s adjustment.\n\n#1 Communicate to parents with confidence and sincerity. Maintain good eye contact, and be congruent with your message. Convey how important and safe it is for babies to be evaluated and adjusted. Have a clear, concise message, and don\u2019t try to be overly convincing or defensive\u2014sometimes, less is more. Have pediatric pamphlets, posters, adjusting tables, and forms at your office that convey to the parents that it is a place for children.\n\nParents don\u2019t always share their concerns out loud, so be aware of their body language, too, and use the Socratic Method by asking open-ended questions to begin the education process.\n\nRemember, these tips are for skeptical parents or for those who have concerns. Some of these communication strategies will work better with one parent than another, so pick and choose which ones to use depending upon the parent\u2019s mindset or orientation.

Swedes arrived in 1638 and, with the Finns, who came about the same time, spilled over into what is now the Philadelphia area. The Dutch gained control of this New Sweden in 1655, but nine years later England conquered New Netherland, and Pennsylvania became a part of the Duke of York\u2019s new territory, which included New York, New Jersey, and Delaware. In 1673 and 1674 the Dutch regained control, but soon the colony was back under English rule.\n\nNone of these early settlements had a more lasting impression on Pennsylvania than did William Penn\u2019s colony. Chartered in 1681 by King Charles II to Penn, a Quaker, Pennsylvania received its new governor aboard the Welcome the following year. The new immigrants were primarily English Quakers, although some were of Welsh, Scottish, and Irish ancestry. Pennsylvania became a royal province briefly from 1692 to 1694, when Penn lost his power over the conflict between the proprietary and popular elements, but the colony then resumed under the proprietary government until the American Revolution. Penn and his descendants left a long-standing influence, especially in terms of governing, in dealing with the native population, and in providing a haven of religious tolerance.\n\nPenn\u2019s \u201cHoly Experiment\u201d encouraged throngs of immigrants in the next century. The two largest groups were the Ulster-Scots (also referred to as the Scots-Irish), who first came in 1707 and in greater numbers from 1728 on, and the Germans, who first arrived in 1683. The Germans, mostly from the Rhine, included subgroups that characterize those who have become known, more culturally than ethnically, as the \u201cPennsylvania Dutch\u201d\u2014 Lutherans, Reformed, Mennonites, Amish, Dunkers (Dunkards), Moravians, Roman Catholics, and Schwenkfelders. After an initial settlement in Germantown (now part of Philadelphia), they became a significant portion of the population in Montgomery, Lancaster, Northampton, Lehigh, Berks, Lebanon, and York counties. The Ulster-Scots settled first in Lancaster, Dauphin, and Chester counties, and then moved westward into the Cumberland Valley. Both groups eventually contributed to the settlement of southwestern Pennsylvania. The westward movements were made despite the Allegheny Mountains that diagonally divide the rectangular-shaped state, and early settlements tended to be made in the valleys, such as the Cumberland, Lebanon, and Lehigh. Other immigrants in the 1700s included Welsh (some of whom were Quakers), French (including Huguenots, later Acadians, and at the end of the century refugees from revolution-torn France and Haiti), Irish, Jews, and African Americans. In spite of the strong Quaker influence, slavery did exist in Pennsylvania, but of the 10,000 African Americans there in 1790, over half were free, and slavery was phased out in the early 1800s.\n\nMost of Pennsylvania\u2019s western settlers had migrated from the eastern part of the province. Some came up from Maryland and Virginia, such as Ulster-Scots and Germans, many of whom had ventured south from Pennsylvania earlier. The Holland Land Company\u2019s territory extended into the northwestern part of Pennsylvania, where New Yorkers met Pennsylvanians coming north from Washington, Allegheny, and other southwestern counties.\n\nIt has generally been believed that the Penns dealt fairly with the Native Americans, peacefully acquiring additional territory through treaties and purchase; however, some historians question this. As settlers pushed westward, they forced the natives ahead of them, and the resulting hostilities peaked during the French and Indian War. This conflict caused Pennsylvania to create its first militia in order to defend the frontier settlements.\n\nConnecticut claimed northeastern Pennsylvania and began sending settlers there in the 1750s. A bitter conflict ensued until Connecticut relinquished its claim through the Decree of Trenton in 1782. Other boundary disputes took place with New York and, in the southwest, with Virginia. The most famous, however, was the controversy between the Penns and Lord Baltimore. A temporary line was drawn with", "base_doc": "ature to hold its head up. If it\u2019s a more difficult birth (cesarean section, vacuum extraction, or forceps delivery), there is potentially even more trauma and subluxation to the newborn\u2019s neck. If you compare the amount of pressure applied to a baby\u2019s neck in the birth process to that which is used in the adjustment (a few ounces to a pound or two, specifically and expertly applied), it demonstrates that if the baby made it through the birth process, he or she can get adjusted safely.\n\n#5 Many parents have never seen a newborn or baby getting adjusted , so make sure you schedule the parents of the potential new patient for their office visit when other babies are being adjusted, so the parents can see just how gentle, safe, and effective it is. This is a prime time to get new parents in touch with established parents. Encourage these parents to share how much their baby enjoys getting adjusted, and the amazing improvements in their child\u2019s health since starting chiropractic care in your office.\n\n#4 Some parents will think or say things like, \u201cIf it\u2019s not broken, don\u2019t fix it,\u201d or they may express fear, such as, \u201cIt looks like you are going to hurt my newborn\u2019s neck.\u201d However, if the subluxation is present, it is detrimental to the newborn\u2019s health and needs to be corrected. So teach parents how gentle the adjustments are. Let them know that, many times, the adjustments are so gentle that babies sleep through them. Once the parent understands the important value that the spine and nervous system play in a child\u2019s growth and development, they should be afraid NOT to get their child adjusted. That would mean leaving subluxation in the spine that will compromise the child\u2019s ability to be well for the rest of his or her life.\n\n#3 Share with your new and prospective patients that it\u2019s actually safer to adjust newborns than elderly patients, because babies\u2019 spines are more flexible and pliable as opposed to elderly patients, who are more rigid and can have arthritic and degenerative changes.\n\n#2 Depending upon the technique the chiropractor uses, an effective demonstration to put nervous moms and dads at ease about the amount of force used in the adjustment is to have them place a finger on their eyeball and let them know that a similar amount of pressure will be used in the baby\u2019s adjustment.\n\n#1 Communicate to parents with confidence and sincerity. Maintain good eye contact, and be congruent with your message. Convey how important and safe it is for babies to be evaluated and adjusted. Have a clear, concise message, and don\u2019t try to be overly convincing or defensive\u2014sometimes, less is more. Have pediatric pamphlets, posters, adjusting tables, and forms at your office that convey to the parents that it is a place for children.\n\nParents don\u2019t always share their concerns out loud, so be aware of their body language, too, and use the Socratic Method by asking open-ended questions to begin the education process.\n\nRemember, these tips are for skeptical parents or for those who have concerns. Some of these communication strategies will work better with one parent than another, so pick and choose which ones to use depending upon the parent\u2019s mindset or orientation. When parents have been educated properly, chances are they will choose to have their child adjusted and receive the many benefits of chiropractic care.\n\nWe hoped that you found this weeks Top 7 list valuable.

A school was opened in 1877. The place was seldom more than a hamlet and its peak pre-twenty-first-century census population of 215 persons was in 1915.

Today, the town survives off the back of a few determined farming families who raise sheep and cattle, breed thoroughbred horses, and grow wine.\n\nThe Glenlyon Cemetery is another quiet, beautifully maintained, peaceful space.\n\n\nWaltz With Matilda\n\nInexplicably, driving with Akari out to Moliagul, photographing an old thunder box (outdoor toilet) and a long abandoned house, filled me with the urge to wander further with my dogs sniff mapping.

According to U.S. diplomacy (2005), around 98% of the Turkish population are muslims.\u00a0 This , however, is shallow information, as it is necessary to totally review the concept of \u2018being a muslim\u2019 to understand specific \u2018turkish islamism\u201d\u2019. While Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir are somehow liberal cities, outside these big centers most people\u00a0 practice Islam in the traditional way. The general conclusion is that although the state tries to gather muslims in Turkey into a single body, there are several differentiated sects and tribes of them in the country.\n\nReligious structure was established in the 1924 Constitution, after the liberal revolution guided by the national hero Ataturk installed an ideological secular state, formally known in Turkey as Kemalism.\u00a0 The Kemalist doctrine proposes equality regarding the relationship between the state and religious sects. Apart from the possible benefits, it still implies the end of the traditional Muslim society (, where each religious sect\u00a0 enjoyed a degree of autonomy, with their own leadership, collecting their own taxes and living according to their own system. In an attempt to implement this new social order, the Directorate for Religious Affairs (Diyanet) was created\u00a0 \u201cto\u00a0 execute\u00a0 the works concerning the beliefs, worship, and ethics of\u00a0 Islam,\u00a0 enlighten the public about their religion, and administer the\u00a0 sacred\u00a0 worshipping places\u201d.\n\nWith these actions the Turkish government is essentially trying to reconstruct and portray Turkey as a moderate Islamic society:\n\nTurkey has the reputation of being the home of \u201cmoderate Islam\u201d because it combines a \u201csecular\u201d political system with a tolerant strand of Sunni Islam (\u2026) The majority of Turks subscribe to the Hanafi school of Sunni Islam. The Hanafi school is one of the more open-minded and tolerant strands of Sunni Islam.\u201d (05ANKARA6106)\n\nStandardization, however, is never without resistance. In this case, the problem is that Diyanet is always seen as adjacent to the Sunni majority, the religious majority in the country and currently in power. It is obvious that the Sunni Shafi\u2019i and the Alevi sects do not have the same support by the state as the dominant Sunni Hanafi. This works in the same way as the Armenian Greagorians, Roman Catholics, Syriac Orthodox, Chaldean Catholics, Greek Orthodox,\u00a0 Bulgarian Orthodoxes, Georgian Orthodoxes and Protestants , all of which are also neglected by the government. Cables 05ANKARA1511, 05ANKARA1935 and 05ADANA191 express the Christian persecution in Turkey, especially in the South, performed by the \u00a0Directorate for Religious Affairs (Diyanet). To solve this bad reputation Diyanet has been designing \u201coutreach programs\u201d, aimed specifically towards certain religious groups so as to integrate or model them after what they believe will serve the nation.\n\nState funds are used to construct mosques, but the state spends no money on Alevi houses of worship, Jewish synagogues, or Christian churches. All Muslim school age students are required to take classes in the Hanafi-Sunni tradition of Islam, regardless of their personal sectarian beliefs. Non-Muslim students are not required to take these courses, but alternative courses are not offered by the state. Private religious classes are illegal and proselytizing by non-Muslims, while not illegal, is viewed with great suspicion and actively discouraged\u201d. (05ANKARA6106).\n\nFor a\u00a0 more specific example, Cable 07ANKARA747,\u00a0 describes the attempt made by Diyanet to reach out to the important Alevi group: \u201cDiyanet Foreign Relations Vice Chair Mehmet Gormez recently told us that the Diyanet is increasing its outreach efforts to Alevis to dispel the notion that the Diyanet is an exclusively Sunni organization\u201d.\n\n\u201cThe new programs include more in-depth training on Alevism for Sunni religious\n\nofficials, government sponsored trips to Europe for Alevi religious leaders to support Alevi education and plans to publish a definitive Alevi history.This attempt, however, has been carried out for the wrong reasons, according to Alevi organizations. They have accused Diyanet of being \u201cauthoritative\u201d and \u201cinsincere\u201d in its actions. For example, Pir Sultan Abdal Alevi Association President Kazim Genc said that\u00a0 \u201cDiyanet remains an exclusive, discriminatory Sunni organization.\u00a0 The Diyanet employs only Sunnis, and only meets with Alevi groups that share its views\u201d\n\nMany leaders have also pointed out that these \u201coutreach plans\u201d are merely carried out to please the European Union in their demand for equality towards Alevis, and a general feeling of failure and resentment is present:\n\n\u201cMany of Turkey\u2019s Alevis have long found it offensive that the GOT does not recognize them as a distinct relgious group or allow them to freely practice their religion (\u2026)Alevis want the government to treat Alevism equally in public school religion courses and in the allocation of public funds for the construction and administration of cem houses.\u201d\n\nThe headscarf polemic\n\nIn April 2007, Military performed an intervention on politics to prevent the election as president of a Abdullah Gul, a person whose wife wore the headscarf. The banning of the headscarf \u00a0has always been a strong symbol of the secular state established by Ataturk\u2019s revolution. At the end, Abdulla won the presidential elections and in 2008 AKP, leaded by him, in a joint with MHP- Nationalist Movement Party -, passed a law allowing wearing headscarves in universities. Turkey\u2019s chief prosecutor, Abdurrahman Yal\u00e7\u0131nkaya, asked the Constitutional Court to close the AKP \u2013 Justice and Development Party \u2013 with accusations of \u2018anti-laicistic activities\u2019. The case was concluded on 30 July 2008 with the judgment that the AKP had been at the centre of activitiesviolating secularism. After deliberating for three months, Constitutional Court decided not to close the party, AKP was deprived of half of the grant provided by the Treasury.\n\nRegarding this matter, a cable from 2008 classified by Ambassor Ross Wilson points out that Endorgan \u201callowed himself to be\u00a0 goaded by the National Action Party (MHP) into putting the\u00a0 headscarf ban at the head of the reform queue.\u00a0 For this\u00a0 short-term populist win, he sacrificed a larger\u00a0 constitutional reform package that would have significantly\u00a0 strengthened Turkey\u2019s democracy. (\u2026)\u00a0 These and other missteps exacerbated fears among\u00a0 many that Erdogan was going too far, too fast; that there\u00a0 were no effective constraints on the AKP (especially after\u00a0 the military\u2019s botched intervention last spring); and that\u00a0 fundamentalists might soon dominate the bureaucracy,\u00a0 judiciary, universities, etc., to change Turkey in dangerous\u00a0 and permanent ways\u201d. (08ANKARA691).\n\nControl for political objectives\n\nThe crusade for control over religion for political purposes has turned the supposed free, secular turkish state into on that \u201cactively monitors and represses religious expression ( \u2026). The Turkish state hires and trains all religious officials (imams and muftis); appoints them to their posts; and pays their salaries. The state writes the sermons that most of the imams deliver at Friday prayers; picks which imam in each mosque gets to deliver the Friday sermon; and uses undercover intelligence officials to monitor their activities.\u201d. (05ANKARA6106).\n\nThese actions are opposed to the ideals of the 1924 revolution of a secular and fair state. The seem to follow the political will to adapt Turkey to western standards as a part of the project of joining the E.U. This has forced the leading party, AKP to adopt insincere behaviors regarding its objectives and legality. Although known as religious oriented party and supporting religion in the ways we exposed above, AKP is officially and publicly a secular party, since Turkish constitution and party law bans parties formed around sectarianism, ethnicity or regionalism. On this subject 05ANKARA6106 states that: \u201cnonetheless, AKP is an Islam-oriented political party. The leaders and grassroots members of AKP largely come from the Refah and Fazilet parties, banned for Islamic extremism in 1998 and 2001 respectively\u201d (\u2026)A variety of Embassy contacts assert that AKP,s senior leadership does not really believe in religious tolerance, but merely pretends to support tolerance in an effort to court Western favor and promote Turkey,s EU membership bid\u201d.\n\nIn cable 04ANKARA7211, the crude political ambitions of Turkish politicians is revealed as ambassador Eric Edelman reported that \u201cWe have also run into the rarely openly-spoken, but widespread belief among adherents of the Turk-Islam synthesis that Turkey\u2019s role is to spread Islam in Europe, \u201cto take back Andalusia and avenge the defeat at the siege of Vienna in 1683\u201d as one participant in a recent meeting at AKP\u2019s main think tank put it\u201d.\n\nThe result is that, \u201cwhile Turkish law explicitly denies religiously-derived ideas and sentiments any place in the public square, religious institutions are not only under strict state control, but are in fact an integral part of the Turkish State apparatus\u201d. (03ANKARA4767).\n\nThus, the fake secular political system has problems that require an urgent solution to turn Turkey into a country with reasonable levels of religious freedom. The selective subsidies given to religious infrastructure, the manipulation of religious education and the privileges given to Sunni beliefs and traditions are crippling the bold ideals of the Turkish republic", "base_doc": " @wikileaks_world.\n\n\n\nAllowing rare exceptions, almost everyone in Turkey considers oneself a muslim. According to U.S. diplomacy (2005), around 98% of the Turkish population are muslims.\u00a0 This , however, is shallow information, as it is necessary to totally review the concept of \u2018being a muslim\u2019 to understand specific \u2018turkish islamism\u201d\u2019. While Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir are somehow liberal cities, outside these big centers most people\u00a0 practice Islam in the traditional way. The general conclusion is that although the state tries to gather muslims in Turkey into a single body, there are several differentiated sects and tribes of them in the country.\n\nReligious structure was established in the 1924 Constitution, after the liberal revolution guided by the national hero Ataturk installed an ideological secular state, formally known in Turkey as Kemalism.\u00a0 The Kemalist doctrine proposes equality regarding the relationship between the state and religious sects. Apart from the possible benefits, it still implies the end of the traditional Muslim society (, where each religious sect\u00a0 enjoyed a degree of autonomy, with their own leadership, collecting their own taxes and living according to their own system. In an attempt to implement this new social order, the Directorate for Religious Affairs (Diyanet) was created\u00a0 \u201cto\u00a0 execute\u00a0 the works concerning the beliefs, worship, and ethics of\u00a0 Islam,\u00a0 enlighten the public about their religion, and administer the\u00a0 sacred\u00a0 worshipping places\u201d.\n\nWith these actions the Turkish government is essentially trying to reconstruct and portray Turkey as a moderate Islamic society:\n\nTurkey has the reputation of being the home of \u201cmoderate Islam\u201d because it combines a \u201csecular\u201d political system with a tolerant strand of Sunni Islam (\u2026) The majority of Turks subscribe to the Hanafi school of Sunni Islam. The Hanafi school is one of the more open-minded and tolerant strands of Sunni Islam.\u201d (05ANKARA6106)\n\nStandardization, however, is never without resistance. In this case, the problem is that Diyanet is always seen as adjacent to the Sunni majority, the religious majority in the country and currently in power. It is obvious that the Sunni Shafi\u2019i and the Alevi sects do not have the same support by the state as the dominant Sunni Hanafi. This works in the same way as the Armenian Greagorians, Roman Catholics, Syriac Orthodox, Chaldean Catholics, Greek Orthodox,\u00a0 Bulgarian Orthodoxes, Georgian Orthodoxes and Protestants , all of which are also neglected by the government. Cables 05ANKARA1511, 05ANKARA1935 and 05ADANA191 express the Christian persecution in Turkey, especially in the South, performed by the \u00a0Directorate for Religious Affairs (Diyanet). To solve this bad reputation Diyanet has been designing \u201coutreach programs\u201d, aimed specifically towards certain religious groups so as to integrate or model them after what they believe will serve the nation.\n\nState funds are used to construct mosques, but the state spends no money on Alevi houses of worship, Jewish synagogues, or Christian churches. All Muslim school age students are required to take classes in the Hanafi-Sunni tradition of Islam, regardless of their personal sectarian beliefs. Non-Muslim students are not required to take these courses, but alternative courses are not offered by the state. Private religious classes are illegal and proselytizing by non-Muslims, while not illegal, is viewed with great suspicion and actively discouraged\u201d. (05ANKARA6106).\n\nFor a\u00a0 more specific example, Cable 07ANKARA747,\u00a0 describes the attempt made by Diyanet to reach out to the important Alevi group: \u201cDiyanet Foreign Relations Vice Chair Mehmet Gormez recently told us that the Diyanet is increasing its outreach efforts to Alevis to dispel the notion that the Diyanet is an exclusively Sunni organization\u201d.\n\n\u201cThe new programs include more in-depth training on Alevism for Sunni religious\n\nofficials, government sponsored trips to Europe for Alevi religious leaders to support Alevi education and plans to publish a definitive Alevi history.This attempt, however, has been carried out for the wrong reasons, according to Alevi organizations. They have accused Diyanet of being \u201cauthoritative\u201d and \u201cinsincere\u201d in its actions. For example, Pir Sultan Abdal Alevi Association President Kazim Genc said that\u00a0 \u201cDiyanet remains an exclusive, discriminatory Sunni organization.\u00a0 The Diyanet employs only Sunnis, and only meets with Alevi groups that share its views\u201d\n\nMany leaders have also pointed out that these \u201coutreach plans\u201d are merely carried out to please the European Union in their demand for equality towards Alevis, and a general feeling of failure and resentment is present:\n\n\u201cMany of Turkey\u2019s Alevis have long found it offensive that the GOT does not recognize them as a distinct relgious group or allow them to freely practice their religion (\u2026)Alevis want the government to treat Alevism equally in public school religion courses and in the allocation of public funds for the construction and administration of cem houses.\u201d\n\nThe headscarf polemic\n\nIn April 2007, Military performed an intervention on politics to prevent the election as president of a Abdullah Gul, a person whose wife wore the headscarf. The banning of the headscarf \u00a0has always been a strong symbol of the secular state established by Ataturk\u2019s revolution. At the end, Abdulla won the presidential elections and in 2008 AKP, leaded by him, in a joint with MHP- Nationalist Movement Party -, passed a law allowing wearing headscarves in universities. Turkey\u2019s chief prosecutor, Abdurrahman Yal\u00e7\u0131nkaya, asked the Constitutional Court to close the AKP \u2013 Justice and Development Party \u2013 with accusations of \u2018anti-laicistic activities\u2019. The case was concluded on 30 July 2008 with the judgment that the AKP had been at the centre of activitiesviolating secularism.

Is it just a coincidence that they used the same word, or is there some overlap in what they meant? If there is an overlap, can we use one field\u2019s discoveries about beauty to help us in another?\n\n\nIf you mention taste nowadays, a lot of people will tell you that \u201ctaste is subjective.\u201d They believe this because it really feels that way to them. When they like something, they have no idea why. It could be because it\u2019s beautiful, or because their mother had one, or because they saw a movie star with one in a magazine, or because they know it\u2019s expensive. Their thoughts are a tangle of unexamined impulses.\n\nMost of us are encouraged, as children, to leave this tangle unexamined. If you make fun of your little brother for coloring people green in his coloring book, your mother is likely to tell you something like \u201cyou like to do it your way and he likes to do it his way.\u201d\n\n\n\nWhat goes through the kid\u2019s head at this point?

After having been told for years that everyone just likes to do things their own way, he is unlikely to head straight for the conclusion that a great artist is someone whose work is better than the others\u2019. A far more likely theory, in his Ptolemaic model of the universe, is that a great artist is something that\u2019s good for you, like broccoli, because someone said so in a book.\n\n\n\n\n\nOnce you start to examine the question, it\u2019s surprising how much different fields\u2019 ideas of beauty have in common. The same principles of good design crop up again and again.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA lot of bad design is industrious, but misguided. In the mid twentieth century there was a vogue for setting text in sans-serif fonts. These fonts are closer to the pure, underlying letterforms. But in text that\u2019s not the problem you\u2019re trying to solve. For legibility it\u2019s more important that letters be easy to tell apart. It may look Victorian, but a Times Roman lowercase g is easy to tell from a lowercase y.\n\nProblems can be improved as well as solutions. In software, an intractable problem can usually be replaced by an equivalent one that\u2019s easy to solve. Physics progressed faster as the problem became predicting observable behavior, instead of reconciling it with scripture.\n\n\n\nIn software, it means you should give users a few basic elements that they can combine as they wish, like Lego. In math it means a proof that becomes the basis for a lot of new work is preferable to a proof that was difficult, but doesn\u2019t lead to future discoveries; in the sciences generally, citation is considered a rough indicator of merit.\n\nGood design is often slightly funny. This one may not always be true. But Durer\u2019s engravings and Saarinen\u2019s womb chair and the Pantheon and the original Porsche 911 all seem to me slightly funny. Godel\u2019s incompleteness theorem seems like a practical joke.\n\nI think it\u2019s because humor is related to strength. To have a sense of humor is to be strong: to keep one\u2019s sense of humor is to shrug off misfortunes, and to lose one\u2019s sense of humor is to be wounded by them. And so the mark\u2013 or at least the prerogative\u2013 of strength is not to take oneself too seriously. The confident will often, like swallows, seem to be making fun of the whole process slightly, as Hitchcock does in his films or Bruegel in his paintings\u2013 or Shakespeare, for that matter.\n\nGood design may not have to be funny, but it\u2019s hard to imagine something that could be called humorless also being good design.\n\nGood design is hard. If you look at the people who\u2019ve done great work, one thing they all seem to have in common is that they worked very hard. If you\u2019re not working hard, you\u2019re probably wasting your time.\n\n\n\n\nIn art, the highest place has traditionally been given to paintings of people. There is something to this tradition, and not just because pictures of faces get to press buttons in our brains that other pictures don\u2019t. We are so good at looking at faces that we force anyone who draws them to work hard to satisfy us. If you draw a tree and you change the angle of a branch five degrees, no one will know.

In software, an intractable problem can usually be replaced by an equivalent one that\u2019s easy to solve. Physics progressed faster as the problem became predicting observable behavior, instead of reconciling it with scripture.\n\n\n\nIn software, it means you should give users a few basic elements that they can combine as they wish, like Lego. In math it means a proof that becomes the basis for a lot of new work is preferable to a proof that was difficult, but doesn\u2019t lead to future discoveries; in the sciences generally, citation is considered a rough indicator of merit.\n\nGood design is often slightly funny. This one may not always be true. But Durer\u2019s engravings and Saarinen\u2019s womb chair and the Pantheon and the original Porsche 911 all seem to me slightly funny. Godel\u2019s incompleteness theorem seems like a practical joke.\n\nI think it\u2019s because humor is related to strength. To have a sense of humor is to be strong: to keep one\u2019s sense of humor is to shrug off misfortunes, and to lose one\u2019s sense of humor is to be wounded by them. And so the mark\u2013 or at least the prerogative\u2013 of strength is not to take oneself too seriously. The confident will often, like swallows, seem to be making fun of the whole process slightly, as Hitchcock does in his films or Bruegel in his paintings\u2013 or Shakespeare, for that matter.\n\nGood design may not have to be funny, but it\u2019s hard to imagine something that could be called humorless also being good design.\n\nGood design is hard. If you look at the people who\u2019ve done great work, one thing they all seem to have in common is that they worked very hard. If you\u2019re not working hard, you\u2019re probably wasting your time.\n\n\n\n\nIn art, the highest place has traditionally been given to paintings of people. There is something to this tradition, and not just because pictures of faces get to press buttons in our brains that other pictures don\u2019t. We are so good at looking at faces that we force anyone who draws them to work hard to satisfy us. If you draw a tree and you change the angle of a branch five degrees, no one will know. When you change the angle of someone\u2019s eye five degrees, people notice.\n\nWhen Bauhaus designers adopted Sullivan\u2019s \u201cform follows function,\u201d what", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 288066, "pt_loc": 71431095, "pt_shuffle_idx": 4227399, "doc_index_f": 6623351, "doc_index_l": 6623352, "offset_f": 388, "offset_l": 1171, "pt_injection_pos": 1, "pt_window_offset": 11, "pt_injection_len": 14, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [877, 1172]} +{"pt_doc": " out dogs.

Results\n\nThe nine males sang a total of 20 song types, 17 of which were judged to be copies of tutor songs (representative tutor and student songs illustrated in figure 2; audio files provided in the electronic supplemental material). Males learnt solely from the undegraded tutor models (binomial test: p = 0.002; table 1). The three pupil songs not assigned as copies had no similarity to any models. All syllables assigned as copies matched their respective models note for note. Copy accuracy (table 1) was comparable to previous studies of swamp sparrow copy quality and confirmed our visual assessments [12,13].\n\nFigure\u00a02.\n\nSonograms of representative tutor and student songs. (a) Undegraded tutor model (type B, table 1), (b) degraded tutor model (type L, table 1), and (c) student copy of undegraded tutor model type B.\n\nAll of the undegraded models were learnt by at least one male. Thirteen of the 17 student syllables unambiguously matched a unique song type in the undegraded model group. Two males sang song type M, and two males sang song type N, both of which had a variant present in both the undegraded and degraded groups. The high cross-correlation scores for these copies indicate very good matches to the respective undegraded variant (table 1). Furthermore, the trill rates of these songs were much more similar to those of their respective undegraded variants than to the degraded variants (5.1 \u00b1 2.9% versus 27.3 \u00b1 3.2% absolute trill rate difference to undegraded syllable types M and N versus degraded syllable types M and N, respectively). Thus, we are confident that males rejected all degraded song models, and that all undegraded songs were copied by at least one test subject.\n\n4. Discussion\n\nOur results clearly indicate that young male swamp sparrows differentially copy undegraded songs in the song-learning process. In fact, males rejected all degraded song models in our experiment. This result has broad implications for the role of cultural selection in acoustic adaptation of learnt signals. If birds preferentially learn less degraded songs, then songs would differentiate over time between habitats with different sound transmission properties. Cultural selection on song quality may therefore help explain the widespread pattern of habitat-dependent song diversification among bird species [3].\n\nOur study is, to our knowledge, the first to provide strong support of the hypothesis that cultural selection can drive habitat-dependent diversification of learnt signals. An earlier study tested this hypothesis using Carolina wrens (Thryothorus ludovicianus) [14]. Four males were exposed to undegraded songs and songs degraded by playback in an echoic room. Although males learnt more undegraded than degraded songs, only song models that were twice as degraded as naturally degraded song models were rejected. This study's interpretation was limited by its small sample size, by the artificial method of producing degraded song models, and by the fact that males did not reject song models with levels of degradation that they would encounter in a natural learning scenario. Our study found that all test subjects rejected naturally degraded song models, thus providing, to our knowledge, the first robust test of Hansen's hypothesis.\n\nOur study does not address another mechanism proposed to explain acoustic adaptation of learnt signals, which is adult vocal plasticity. In some species, adults can adjust their singing behaviour (e.g. increase amplitude or preferentially sing particular song types) to transmit more effectively in their current environment [15]. Most studies on adult plasticity have been directed at behavioural responses to anthropogenic (e.g. urban noise) or natural ambient noise levels that can fluctuate dramatically over short time periods. However, individual vocal adjustment to environmental conditions alone cannot explain widespread habitat-dependent song differentiation across species. Cultural selection and vocal plasticity are not mutually exclusive. Cultural selection is a process that occurs over generations (e.g. from tutor to pupil), whereas adult vocal plasticity allows individuals to respond to immediate changes in the sound transmission environment. This study should inspire additional research on the developmental and behavioural mechanisms underlying habitat-dependent diversification of learnt signals.\n\nAll animal work was approved by the Duke University IACUC (protocol no.

Currently, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Centre for Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) are focusing on the development of three interlinking numerical models, each of a different fidelity, to answer specific questions on current threats. High-fidelity models simulate the physical events most realistically, and will be used in the future to test the medical effectiveness of personal armour systems. They are however generally computationally intensive, slow running and much of the experimental data to base their algorithms on do not yet exist. Medium fidelity models, such as the personnel vulnerability simulation (PVS), generally use algorithms based on physical or engineering estimations of interaction. This enables a reasonable representation of reality and greatly speeds up runtime allowing full assessments of the entire body area to be undertaken. Low-fidelity models such as the human injury predictor (HIP) tool generally use simplistic algorithms to make injury predictions. Individual scenarios can be run very quickly and hence enable statistical casualty assessments of large groups, where significant uncertainty concerning the threat and affected population exist. HIP is used to simulate the blast and penetrative fragmentation effects of a terrorist detonation of an improvised explosive device within crowds of people in metropolitan environments.

Because copies may be sung slightly faster or slower than model rates, we report the rate comparisons between student rendition and model as the absolute value of the per cent difference [100 \u00d7 (student rate \u2212 model rate)/model rate].\n\n(e) Signal synthesis and analysis\n\nAll songs were digitized at 25 kpts s\u22121, analysis bandwidth of 0\u201310 kHz. Trill rates were measured from the waveform (time resolution = \u00b12 ms). The maximum and minimum frequency for a song were measured from a spectrogram (256 point fast Fourier transform (FFT), frequency resolution = 98 Hz, time resolution: 10.2 ms) at \u221236 dB relative to the maximum level of the signal. Cross-correlation comparisons were performed between pairs of spectrograms (128 point FFT, frequency resolution = 195 Hz, time resolution = 5.1 ms).\n\n3. Results\n\nThe nine males sang a total of 20 song types, 17 of which were judged to be copies of tutor songs (representative tutor and student songs illustrated in figure 2; audio files provided in the electronic supplemental material). Males learnt solely from the undegraded tutor models (binomial test: p = 0.002; table 1). The three pupil songs not assigned as copies had no similarity to any models. All syllables assigned as copies matched their respective models note for note. Copy accuracy (table 1) was comparable to previous studies of swamp sparrow copy quality and confirmed our visual assessments [12,13].\n\nFigure\u00a02.\n\nSonograms of representative tutor and student songs. (a) Undegraded tutor model (type B, table 1), (b) degraded tutor model (type L, table 1), and (c) student copy of undegraded tutor model type B.\n\nAll of the undegraded models were learnt by at least one male. Thirteen of the 17 student syllables unambiguously matched a unique song type in the undegraded model group. Two males sang song type M, and two males sang song type N, both of which had a variant present in both the undegraded and degraded groups. The high cross-correlation scores for these copies indicate very good matches to the respective undegraded variant (table 1). Furthermore, the trill rates of these songs were much more similar to those of their respective undegraded variants than to the degraded variants (5.1 \u00b1 2.9% versus 27.3 \u00b1 3.2% absolute trill rate difference to undegraded syllable types M and N versus degraded syllable types M and N, respectively). Thus, we are confident that males rejected all degraded song models, and that all undegraded songs were copied by at least one test subject.\n\n4. Discussion\n\nOur results clearly indicate that young male swamp sparrows differentially copy undegraded songs in the song-learning process. In fact, males rejected all degraded song models in our experiment. This result has broad implications for the role of cultural selection in acoustic adaptation of learnt signals. If birds preferentially learn less degraded songs, then songs would differentiate over time between habitats with different sound transmission properties. Cultural selection on song quality may therefore help explain the widespread pattern of habitat-dependent song diversification among bird species [3].\n\nOur study is, to our knowledge, the first to provide strong support of the hypothesis that cultural selection can drive habitat-dependent diversification of learnt signals. An earlier study tested this hypothesis using Carolina wrens (Thryothorus ludovicianus) [14]. Four males were exposed to undegraded songs and songs degraded by playback in an echoic room. Although males learnt more undegraded than degraded songs, only song models that were twice as degraded as naturally degraded song models were rejected. This study's interpretation was limited by its small sample size, by the artificial method of producing degraded song models, and by the fact that males did not reject song models with levels of degradation that they would encounter in a natural learning scenario. Our study found that all test subjects rejected naturally degraded song models, thus providing, to our knowledge, the first robust test of Hansen's hypothesis.\n\nOur study does not address another mechanism proposed to explain acoustic adaptation of learnt signals, which is adult vocal plasticity. In some species, adults can adjust their singing behaviour (e.g. increase amplitude or preferentially sing particular song types) to transmit more effectively in their current environment [15]. Most studies on adult plasticity have been directed at behavioural responses to anthropogenic (e.g. urban noise) or natural ambient noise levels that can fluctuate dramatically over short time periods. However, individual vocal adjustment to environmental conditions alone cannot explain widespread habitat-dependent song differentiation across species. Cultural selection and vocal plasticity are not mutually exclusive. Cultural selection is a process that occurs over generations (e.g. from tutor to pupil), whereas adult vocal plasticity allows individuals to respond to immediate changes in the sound transmission environment. This study should inspire additional research on the developmental and behavioural mechanisms underlying habitat-dependent diversification of learnt signals.\n\nAll animal work was approved by the Duke University IACUC (protocol no.

Currently, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Centre for Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) are focusing on the development of three interlinking numerical models, each of a different fidelity, to answer specific questions on current threats. High-fidelity models simulate the physical events most realistically, and will be used in the future to test the medical effectiveness of personal armour systems. They are however generally computationally intensive, slow running and much of the experimental data to base their algorithms on do not yet exist. Medium fidelity models, such as the personnel vulnerability simulation (PVS), generally use algorithms based on physical or engineering estimations of interaction. This enables a reasonable representation of reality and greatly speeds up runtime allowing full assessments of the entire body area to be undertaken. Low-fidelity models such as the human injury predictor (HIP) tool generally use simplistic algorithms to make injury predictions. Individual scenarios can be run very quickly and hence enable statistical casualty assessments of large groups, where significant uncertainty concerning the threat and affected population exist. HIP is used to simulate the blast and penetrative fragmentation effects of a terrorist detonation of an improvised explosive device within crowds of people in metropolitan environments. This paper describes the collaboration between MoD and CPNI using an example of all three fidelities of injury model and to highlight future areas of research that are required.\n\n \u2022 Injury\n \u2022 Numerical\n \u2022 Military\n \u2022 Ballistic\n \u2022 Coverage\n \u2022 Model\nView Full Text\n\nStatistics from\n\n\n \u2022 Contributors Planning: JB, DP, RF, JC.

There were no reported injuries to the 3 crew members or 26 passengers, and the aircraft was not damaged.\n\nOn 5 September 2014, an Embraer 145LR departed Grand Rapids, Michigan, destined for Newark Liberty International Airport, New Jersey. After departure, the aircraft deviated north of its intended track into Canadian airspace to avoid a line of thunderstorms, and climbed to its cruising altitude with the intention of navigating its way through them. The aircraft flew through a large thunderstorm that it could not avoid and encountered severe turbulence. The flight crew lost control of the aircraft and it descended rapidly, losing approximately 4000 feet, before they were able to regain control. The aircraft continued to its destination, where it landed safely.\n\nThe TSB investigation found that the flight crew anticipated that they would be able to navigate between thunderstorms. However, as the flight progressed, the line of thunderstorms intensified, and the intended route became obstructed. As well, the report observed that, during the loss of control, the flight crew momentarily applied flight control inputs that exacerbated the roll attitude of the aircraft. As a result, recovery time and altitude loss were increased. The investigation further found that when flight crews operate an aircraft outside of manufacturer recommendations and its limitations, there is a risk of compromising flight safety, resulting in injury to the occupants or damage to the aircraft.\n\nFollowing this occurrence, ExpressJet Airlines improved dispatcher use of flight-following software, and developed policy and procedures related to adverse weather phenomena. ExpressJet Airlines also developed a training module for all \ufb02ight crew members to promote severe weather avoidance and weather radar utilization techniques to identify developing storm activity.\n\n\nFor more information, contact:\nTransportation Safety Board of Canada\nMedia Relations\nTelephone:\u00a0819-994-8053<|endoftext|>Dismiss Notice\nJoin Physics Forums Today!\n\nProblem Solving\n\n 1.

The spelling is now normally simplified by replacing the grapheme \u00e6 with the digraph ae (in British English), or with the letter e in North American English.\n\nThe opposite phenomenon is known as syn\u00e6resis.\n\n\n\nThe di\u00e6resis is a diacritic mark ( \u00a8 ) used in English to indicate that two adjacent vowels are to be pronounced separately[1] as in Bo\u00f6tes, No\u00ebl and na\u00efve, the names Zo\u00eb and Chlo\u00eb and words like re\u00ebnter and co\u00f6perate. An identical diacritic is used in German and several related languages to represent the umlaut, and this name is sometimes used to refer to the di\u00e6resis mark as well.\n\nDespite its long history in English, the di\u00e6resis is now increasingly rarely used, with The New Yorker[2] and MIT's Technology Review being prominent exceptions.\n\nUse in other languages\n\nDutch uses the same mark in a similar way, (for example co\u00ebffici\u00ebnt), but for compound words there is now a preference for hyphenation - so zee\u00ebend (seaduck) is now spelled zee-eend.[3]\n\nIn French the di\u00e6resis is still in common usage, where it is called tr\u00e9ma, and the English examples No\u00ebl and na\u00efve in fact derive from the French.

Additionally, in some French words, the di\u00e6resis indicates that an otherwise unpronounced syllable is pronounced: aig\u00fce or aigu\u00eb; cig\u00fce or cigu\u00eb.\n\nIn German, it is called an umlaut and is used over a, o or u to indicate fronting of the affected vowel. In direct German-English translations, it is represented by an e after the vowel with the umlaut. For instance, Berlin Sch\u00f6nefeld Flughafen is spelt in its English translation as Berlin Schoenefeld Aiport\n\nIn Welsh, where the di\u00e6resis appears, it is usually on the stressed vowel, and this is most often on the first of the two adjacent vowels; a typical example is cop\u00efo [k\u0254.'pi.\u0254] (to copy), cf. mopio ['m\u0254.pj\u0254] (to mop).\n\nOther languages indicate phonological di\u00e6resis with different diacritics, such as the acute accent in Spanish and Portuguese.

The BlackHatter has gone to great lengths to keep himself off the grid. I could tell the police the truth but I had nothing to back up my claims.\n\nI couldn't bear to be at the hospital anymore and I had no home to go to. So Melissa said that I could come with her to her parents. She would explain the situation and figured that it would be okay, at least for a little while. She figured once I got ahold of my out of state relatives, I could move in with them but for now I could stay nearby. I was actually quite grateful for that.\n\nMelissa's parents weren't home when we arrived and that was when she remembered they would be out of town for a wedding. Given everything that happened, she completely forgot. I said it was probably a good thing that they were gone. It was bad enough to worry about us, let alone other victims of this madman. When we arrived I left my bag in the living room and followed Melissa up to her room. I was absolutely exhausted and only wanted to sleep. My family would be on their way so I was certain I would be inundated with people over the next few hours. All I remember was my head hitting her pillow and then nothing.\n\nI woke up several hours later. The sun had set and all I could see was darkness. I felt exhausted, almost as if I wasn't even asleep, only shut down. I called for Melissa but either she didn't hear me or was asleep as well. My sluggish brain was slowly winding into action, memories coming back with horrific clarity. My parents were dying, my best friend was dead and there was a madman stalking me; check, check and check. My eyes were adjusting to the darkness and I saw that there was a lamp next to the bed. Reaching out I clicked it on, temporarily blinded by the CFL bulb as burst to life. Turning away from it I saw that I wasn't alone in bed. I instantly thought that Melissa must have taken a nap with me and for the first time a smile curled my lips all day. That joy I felt disintegrated immediately as I saw that Melissa was in fact in bed with me, but she was dead.\n\nI jumped to my feet, my body trembling from utter fear. She did not look peaceful or happy. Instead a horrific expression of pain and fear remained frozen on her face. The thick handle of butcher's knife rose from her bloodstained chest. Around the grip were bloody smudges almost like a hand. In fact they weren\u2019t smudges at all. They were fingerprints. And by the stains that were on my fingers, they were my fingerprints. I didn\u2019t know what to think or what to do.\u00a0I wanted to cry but I just couldn\u2019t process any of this. My emotions had reached a boiling point that I just couldn\u2019t express what I was feeling. I was absolutely heartbroken, tears wanting to pour from me but I couldn\u2019t. I was in complete shock. Everyone I loved was gone. My life was over. It was as I stared down at Melissa, I heard my phone chime.\n\nIgnoring the blood that covered my clothes and hands, I pulled out my phone and instantly a video started to play. It was once more a POV shot as a person moved around the interior of a house. The home looked familiar and when I saw my bag I knew exactly where the man was. He was inside of Melissa's house. The man looked up to the second floor and then ascended the stairs with all of the stealth of a cat. Swiftly and quietly he moved onto the second floor and stepping to his left, he approached a bedroom. Slowly opening the door, I could see myself sleeping soundly on the bed. Next to me Melissa lay, asleep as well. Creeping in, never making a sound, he approached us. Removing a small hypodermic needle, already filled with some substance he carefully, pressed the steel into a freckle on my neck and depressed the plunger. I immediately touched my neck and felt only the slightest bump as a small clot of blood had formed.\n\nReplacing the needle he then stepped over to Melissa. Moving his hand, a large butcher's knife came into view. As I watched all of this I wanted to scream at Melissa to wake up and run, but it wouldn\u2019t change anything. The man placed the tip of the knife against her chest and with a momentary pause; he slammed the blade into Melissa\u2019s chest. Instantly she awoke but by then it was too late. Blood gushed from the wound before she could even fight back. Within seconds, her body went limp and she was gone.\n\nThe scene was not over yet. The man removed the blade and then gingerly took my hand and dipped into the warm blood. He then wrapped my fingers around the handle for a moment before returning the blade into Melissa's chest. Then he dipped his gloved fingers into the pooling blood and proceeded to flick droplets of blood carefully against my face and clothes. I instantly understood what he was doing. Blood Spatter. While it may eventually fall apart in court, he was planting evidence to ensure that the fingers were all pointing at me. That was when the phone cut out and I heard the sirens.\n\nThe story is pretty straightforward from here. I ran from the cops. What could I say? I slept through my girlfriend's murder, my parent\u2019s happened to die from arson, and I just happen to not be in my dorm when there was a Carbon Monoxide leak. While it was all circumstantial, it did not paint me in a fair light. Before I left I did my best at wiping down the knife but my prints were in other places in the house and blood was all over my clothes. The leap from her death to me was a short one.\n\nI spent the next two days hiding in abandoned buildings, cleaning myself up using runoff and puddles. I ditched my old clothes, burning them in a trashcan and then just started moving place to place. I rarely buy burner phones but when I do they don't last long. About a month or so after I get it, I start getting texts and phone calls from an unknown caller. The messages range from heavy breathing to threats of harm or even death. After that I ditch the phone and stay off the grid for about a month.\n\nIt has been almost a year since I started running. I've changed my appearance as much as possible to conceal who I am from both the police and the BlackHatter. But in the end it won\u2019t matter. At this point it's simply a race of attrition. Who will find me first? I am positive that my fate lies in the hands of one or the other and I'm afraid that it won\u2019t be the police.<|endoftext|>Question: What genre is Before Midnight?\nAnswer: detective fiction<|endoftext|>Stupid question - is it possible to use up all the oxygen in your room?\n\n 1. I have a stupid question to ask you all.\n\n Let's just say that you shut your door, and then shut all your windows so there isn't any ventilation and stayed in your room for several days. Could you end up breathing until you've reduced the oxygen to dangerous levels?\n 2. jcsd\n 3. If it's completely sealed and there's no other source of oxygen, then sure.\n 4. And how long would it take to run out of oxygen?\n\n I often wonder if there's a tiny little gap of say, 1 square cm to the outside world, would you rate of oxygen consumption beat the inflow of oxygen?\n 5. Stupid question, you bet you!\n Not so stupid answer though:\n Go study partial differential equations, and determine for yourself the air flow given the size of the hole, temperature, etc.... after factoring in all these variables then determine how big the hole has to be. Btw, in a room built out of wood, the oxygen would still get through, so this needs to be a room of plastic; why don't you tell us how big the whole has to be to substain life? Go now, study :p\n 6. russ_watters\n\n Staff: Mentor\n\n The short answer is that you'd need a ridiculously well sealed building to create such a problem. I once ran across a building that used to be a FEMA office and it was designed pretty air tight, so it required continuous ventilation to keep the air quality acceptable.\n\n Note, though, that you can't \"use up all the oxygen\" in a room: It isn't lack of oxygen that would kill you, it is too much CO2.\n 7. If you use completely compartmentalized room then yes. But When the O2 level decrease to certain level the partial pressure of O2 is so low that haemoglobin would not combine with oxygen, then you are just going to die before it is completely used up. So It's never going to \"use up\" literally.\n\nHave something to add?<|endoftext|>Welcome!

It was as I stared down at Melissa, I heard my phone chime.\n\nIgnoring the blood that covered my clothes and hands, I pulled out my phone and instantly a video started to play. It was once more a POV shot as a person moved around the interior of a house. The home looked familiar and when I saw my bag I knew exactly where the man was. He was inside of Melissa's house. The man looked up to the second floor and then ascended the stairs with all of the stealth of a cat. Swiftly and quietly he moved onto the second floor and stepping to his left, he approached a bedroom. Slowly opening the door, I could see myself sleeping soundly on the bed. Next to me Melissa lay, asleep as well. Creeping in, never making a sound, he approached us. Removing a small hypodermic needle, already filled with some substance he carefully, pressed the steel into a freckle on my neck and depressed the plunger. I immediately touched my neck and felt only the slightest bump as a small clot of blood had formed.\n\nReplacing the needle he then stepped over to Melissa. Moving his hand, a large butcher's knife came into view. As I watched all of this I wanted to scream at Melissa to wake up and run, but it wouldn\u2019t change anything. The man placed the tip of the knife against her chest and with a momentary pause; he slammed the blade into Melissa\u2019s chest. Instantly she awoke but by then it was too late. Blood gushed from the wound before she could even fight back. Within seconds, her body went limp and she was gone.\n\nThe scene was not over yet. The man removed the blade and then gingerly took my hand and dipped into the warm blood. He then wrapped my fingers around the handle for a moment before returning the blade into Melissa's chest. Then he dipped his gloved fingers into the pooling blood and proceeded to flick droplets of blood carefully against my face and clothes. I instantly understood what he was doing. Blood Spatter. While it may eventually fall apart in court, he was planting evidence to ensure that the fingers were all pointing at me. That was when the phone cut out and I heard the sirens.\n\nThe story is pretty straightforward from here. I ran from the cops. What could I say? I slept through my girlfriend's murder, my parent\u2019s happened to die from arson, and I just happen to not be in my dorm when there was a Carbon Monoxide leak. While it was all circumstantial, it did not paint me in a fair light. Before I left I did my best at wiping down the knife but my prints were in other places in the house and blood was all over my clothes. The leap from her death to me was a short one.\n\nI spent the next two days hiding in abandoned buildings, cleaning myself up using runoff and puddles. I ditched my old clothes, burning them in a trashcan and then just started moving place to place. I rarely buy burner phones but when I do they don't last long. About a month or so after I get it, I start getting texts and phone calls from an unknown caller. The messages range from heavy breathing to threats of harm or even death. After that I ditch the phone and stay off the grid for about a month.\n\nIt has been almost a year since I started running. I've changed my appearance as much as possible to conceal who I am from both the police and the BlackHatter. But in the end it won\u2019t matter. At this point it's simply a race of attrition. Who will find me first? I am positive that my fate lies in the hands of one or the other and I'm afraid that it won\u2019t be the police.<|endoftext|>Stupid question - is it possible to use up all the oxygen in your room?\n\n 1. I have a stupid question to ask you all.\n\n Let's just say that you shut your door, and then shut all your windows so there isn't any ventilation and stayed in your room for several days. Could you end up breathing until you've reduced the oxygen to dangerous levels?\n 2. jcsd\n 3. If it's completely sealed and there's no other source of oxygen, then sure.\n 4. And how long would it take to run out of oxygen?\n\n I often wonder if there's a tiny little gap of say, 1 square cm to the outside world, would you rate of oxygen consumption beat the inflow of oxygen?\n 5. Stupid question, you bet you!\n Not so stupid answer though:\n Go study partial differential equations, and determine for yourself the air flow given the size of the hole, temperature, etc.... after factoring in all these variables then determine how big the hole has to be. Btw, in a room built out of wood, the oxygen would still get through, so this needs to be a room of plastic; why don't you tell us how big the whole has to be to substain life? Go now, study :p\n 6. russ_watters\n\n Staff: Mentor\n\n The short answer is that you'd need a ridiculously well sealed building to create such a problem. I once ran across a building that used to be a FEMA office and it was designed pretty air tight, so it required continuous ventilation to keep the air quality acceptable.\n\n Note, though, that you can't \"use up all the oxygen\" in a room: It isn't lack of oxygen that would kill you, it is too much CO2.\n 7. If you use completely compartmentalized room then yes. But When the O2 level decrease to certain level the partial pressure of O2 is so low that haemoglobin would not combine with oxygen, then you are just going to die before it is completely used up. So It's never going to \"use up\" literally.\n\nHave something to add?<|endoftext|>Welcome!

This act continues until he selflessly sacrifices himself for the lives of others. After this he reassumes his criminal self and flies around the galaxy having learned something about friendship but little else. While both of their actions end up commendable, I cannot help but scratch my head at how they got there. After displaying a rampant lack of discipline in life I would expect and restar-lord-actor-chris-pratt-settles-super-bowl-bet_fsf5.1920ality would demand that Stark or Quill would be nowhere near capable of the discipline required to put their own necks on the chopping block. Stalwart and righteous people have faced great difficulty conquering themselves enough to make the sacrifice that these protagonists somehow stumble into. Stark and Quill\u2019s sacrifices are the most unbelievable parts of the Marvel universe, a universe sporting a talking raccoon.\n\nThe anti-hero has been a part of literature for a long time. Characters displaying characteristics not heroic or admirable can create good stories, but these stories will fail to portray truth if vices do not act as vices. In what seems to be an attempt to make characters seem more \u201creal,\u201d writers have created strange combinations of cowardice and heroism, lust and honor, discipline and addiction. They have created righteous heroes without the moral strength of a righteous hero. Marvel doesn\u2019t have a monopoly on these inconsistent anti-heroes. Films, particularly ones sporting strong male leads, tell the stories of protagonists living lives of immorality and vice in all matters except for matters of great sacrifice.\n\nBond_-_Sean_Connery_-_ProfileThe unrepentant anti-hero is often billed as \u201creal\u201d; a hero with vices and virtues like a normal human. But when these vices in no way affect the character, (Peter Quill\u2019s womanizing is shockingly irrelevant to the plot of Guardians of the Galaxy) they become an embarrassing example of wish fulfillment played out in a massively budgeted way. James Bond is cynical, disrespectful, has all of the sex he desires, and butchers the people he comes in contact with all while being heroic, brave, and disciplined. He isn\u2019t a character; he is the daydream of an adolescent boy longing for sex, power, and heroism while maintaining his reputation.\u00a0We need to ask more of our characters. Wicked actions have wicked results. While crude quips and anti-social behavior can be pleasurable momentarily, they will have consequences on how you act and are treated. Righteousness takes work. Characters who instantly become righteous after a life of iniquity are portraying a faulty understanding of morality.\n\nThe unrepentant anti-hero has clear exceptions in film. One contemporary example is Interstellar\u2019s Cooper. This character demonstrates a consistent and hard-won care for humanity, particularly his daughter. His care is a firm theme in the film and figures significantly in the development and exposition of Cooper\u2019s character. His righteousness is upheld as hard-won and proven. It is this very love that ends up saving humanity. I do not want to see virtue that comes from the general innate goodness of undisciplined humanity. Show me virtue weathered from experience, rising out of countless trials and hardships.\n\nLawrenceHeroes like Cooper do not sport the flaws of the anti-hero, but there are well developed and created heroes who exhibit deep flaws. What separates these characters from the unrepentant anti-hero is that the flaws act as flaws. They either deeply harm and torture the hero or give the hero an internal villain. Overcoming flaws requires the flaws to be recognized as vices. In perhaps one of the greatest films ever made, Lawrence of Arabia, Lawrence relentlessly battles his sadism, a difficult prospect when in the middle of a warzone. His internal struggle creates conflict that is impactful and meaningful. His sadism is by no means brushed aside or regarded simply as a part of his character, but is a demon he must fight. Dorian Gray\u2019s carnal lusts lead him to horrid ends in The Picture of Dorian Gray, presenting a real and raw picture of the danger of uncontrolled vice. Han Solo must learn to overcome his desire for money and freedom in order to properly protect and support his friends. There are many heroes who overcome or are overcome by vices in good literature, but in these examples vices are realistically portrayed as inhibiting, tempting, and painful.\n\nPeople overcome by their carnal lusts, the fleshly Quills, Bonds, and Starks of the world, do not rise up and sacrifice themselves for humanity. Untested morality, corroded by vice and lack of discipline, creates not a stalwart hero but a flaky wretch. The true anti-hero is vividly seen in Tuco (or, \u201cthe Ugly\u201d) from The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Tuco holds the same licentious, drunkardly, cowardly traits that plague our contemporary macho-men, but these vices manifest themselves more realistically. When the time comes to act honorably, the unweathered morality of Tuco gives way to his looming desire to satisfy his own appetites. Tuco is a mess. Tuco is what every unrepentant anti-hero is.Tuco\n\nBut why do we suffer this kind of character? Where does our unrepentant anti-hero spring from? Perhaps we create this hero because we have recognized our own vice and lack of discipline, and want to reassure ourselves that when push comes to shove, we will be good. Maybe we have looked down into our soul and been terrified by the prospect that the coward we see peering back at us will assume control when great things are on the line. Perhaps we do not make these characters because we find them attractive, but because we are afraid. But these characters will not change the reality that vice begets vice. Our addictions and lack of discipline will torment and tear at our moral fabric. Art is formative, and art that caters to moral cowardice allows us to rationalize our flaws as we sink away from the righteous and into the animal. When the hour of decision comes and we are faced with a great sacrifice, will we be able to look at our art and see moral strength or weakness? Will our heroes stand with us in moral discipline and courage? Or will they run away, dragging us after the carnal?\n\n\nA Treatise on Storytelling, II: Cowardly\u00a0Stories\n\n\u201cYou\u2019ve got to go into the scrap heap\u201d Theodor Kittelsen 1880\n\nBy the end of Ibsen\u2019s Peer Gynt, the titular character is a pitiful figure. Whenever he is given the chance to be someone, whether good or evil, he runs away, leaving sorrowful lovers, unruled kingdoms, and abandoned fortunes behind him. While Peer lives a wild life following every desire that comes to his mind, his life is worthless. As an old man, he is finally faced with the messenger of death who has come to take his soul. Peer is horrified to find that rather than a messenger of God to take him to heaven or the devil to take him to hell, he is met with a simple looking man who refers to himself as the \u201cbutton moulder.\u201d He informs Peer that Peer will be melted back down into a pool of souls, and reused as someone who will hopefully amount to something on the second time around. \u201cYou were meant to be a gleaming button on the world\u2019s waistcoat, but your loop was missing; so you\u2019ve got to go into the scrap-heap, to be merged into the mass\u201d\u00b9 For the rest of the play Peer relentlessly tries to prove that he is good enough for heaven or bad enough for hell. He will do anything to escape the oblivion that he would meet in the casting ladle of the button moulder. Peer\u2019s cowardice in life caused his life to mean nothing at death. Like Peer, the stories that we tell often run from hefty moral decisions and end up\u00a0without definition, fit only to be melted down and reused.\n\nEvery story is a matter of right and wrong. It is impossible to create conflict without establishing a way things ought to be. When the evil king locks up the plucky hero\u2019s family because he wants to secure his throne, the story is telling us that there is something wrong with desiring to hold on to power at all costs, and that locking up an innocent family is problematic. When the chaos of a rioting crowd is portrayed as terrifying and wild, the story is telling the audience that this kind of passion is dangerous. Because we are dealing with reality, there is no way to tell a successful story and avoid telling something about right and wrong.\n\nSpeaking about right and wrong is dangerous. Making bold moral statements alienates and frightens audiences. But stories are the moral heart of a society. The stories we tell and the heroes we love shape and change us dramatically. There is no getting around the fact that the art we consume changes us in ways that are fundamental. If storytellers avoid tackling important issues, not only will their conflicts be sapped of life, boring and inconsequential, but the stories will be unable to sufficiently shape the audience in positive ways, creating a cowardly audience that flees from moral decisions. There are many examples of cowardly storytellers that pervade our culture\u2019s stories, resulting in several symptoms of cowardly storytellers. Here are a few that have been bothering", "base_doc": "ars his wicked head, Quill suddenly doffs his morally dubious coat and acts with enormous courage and self-discipline. This act continues until he selflessly sacrifices himself for the lives of others. After this he reassumes his criminal self and flies around the galaxy having learned something about friendship but little else. While both of their actions end up commendable, I cannot help but scratch my head at how they got there. After displaying a rampant lack of discipline in life I would expect and restar-lord-actor-chris-pratt-settles-super-bowl-bet_fsf5.1920ality would demand that Stark or Quill would be nowhere near capable of the discipline required to put their own necks on the chopping block. Stalwart and righteous people have faced great difficulty conquering themselves enough to make the sacrifice that these protagonists somehow stumble into. Stark and Quill\u2019s sacrifices are the most unbelievable parts of the Marvel universe, a universe sporting a talking raccoon.\n\nThe anti-hero has been a part of literature for a long time. Characters displaying characteristics not heroic or admirable can create good stories, but these stories will fail to portray truth if vices do not act as vices. In what seems to be an attempt to make characters seem more \u201creal,\u201d writers have created strange combinations of cowardice and heroism, lust and honor, discipline and addiction. They have created righteous heroes without the moral strength of a righteous hero. Marvel doesn\u2019t have a monopoly on these inconsistent anti-heroes. Films, particularly ones sporting strong male leads, tell the stories of protagonists living lives of immorality and vice in all matters except for matters of great sacrifice.\n\nBond_-_Sean_Connery_-_ProfileThe unrepentant anti-hero is often billed as \u201creal\u201d; a hero with vices and virtues like a normal human. But when these vices in no way affect the character, (Peter Quill\u2019s womanizing is shockingly irrelevant to the plot of Guardians of the Galaxy) they become an embarrassing example of wish fulfillment played out in a massively budgeted way. James Bond is cynical, disrespectful, has all of the sex he desires, and butchers the people he comes in contact with all while being heroic, brave, and disciplined. He isn\u2019t a character; he is the daydream of an adolescent boy longing for sex, power, and heroism while maintaining his reputation.\u00a0We need to ask more of our characters. Wicked actions have wicked results. While crude quips and anti-social behavior can be pleasurable momentarily, they will have consequences on how you act and are treated. Righteousness takes work. Characters who instantly become righteous after a life of iniquity are portraying a faulty understanding of morality.\n\nThe unrepentant anti-hero has clear exceptions in film. One contemporary example is Interstellar\u2019s Cooper. This character demonstrates a consistent and hard-won care for humanity, particularly his daughter. His care is a firm theme in the film and figures significantly in the development and exposition of Cooper\u2019s character. His righteousness is upheld as hard-won and proven. It is this very love that ends up saving humanity. I do not want to see virtue that comes from the general innate goodness of undisciplined humanity. Show me virtue weathered from experience, rising out of countless trials and hardships.\n\nLawrenceHeroes like Cooper do not sport the flaws of the anti-hero, but there are well developed and created heroes who exhibit deep flaws. What separates these characters from the unrepentant anti-hero is that the flaws act as flaws. They either deeply harm and torture the hero or give the hero an internal villain. Overcoming flaws requires the flaws to be recognized as vices. In perhaps one of the greatest films ever made, Lawrence of Arabia, Lawrence relentlessly battles his sadism, a difficult prospect when in the middle of a warzone. His internal struggle creates conflict that is impactful and meaningful. His sadism is by no means brushed aside or regarded simply as a part of his character, but is a demon he must fight. Dorian Gray\u2019s carnal lusts lead him to horrid ends in The Picture of Dorian Gray, presenting a real and raw picture of the danger of uncontrolled vice. Han Solo must learn to overcome his desire for money and freedom in order to properly protect and support his friends. There are many heroes who overcome or are overcome by vices in good literature, but in these examples vices are realistically portrayed as inhibiting, tempting, and painful.\n\nPeople overcome by their carnal lusts, the fleshly Quills, Bonds, and Starks of the world, do not rise up and sacrifice themselves for humanity. Untested morality, corroded by vice and lack of discipline, creates not a stalwart hero but a flaky wretch. The true anti-hero is vividly seen in Tuco (or, \u201cthe Ugly\u201d) from The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Tuco holds the same licentious, drunkardly, cowardly traits that plague our contemporary macho-men, but these vices manifest themselves more realistically. When the time comes to act honorably, the unweathered morality of Tuco gives way to his looming desire to satisfy his own appetites. Tuco is a mess. Tuco is what every unrepentant anti-hero is.Tuco\n\nBut why do we suffer this kind of character? Where does our unrepentant anti-hero spring from? Perhaps we create this hero because we have recognized our own vice and lack of discipline, and want to reassure ourselves that when push comes to shove, we will be good. Maybe we have looked down into our soul and been terrified by the prospect that the coward we see peering back at us will assume control when great things are on the line. Perhaps we do not make these characters because we find them attractive, but because we are afraid. But these characters will not change the reality that vice begets vice. Our addictions and lack of discipline will torment and tear at our moral fabric. Art is formative, and art that caters to moral cowardice allows us to rationalize our flaws as we sink away from the righteous and into the animal. When the hour of decision comes and we are faced with a great sacrifice, will we be able to look at our art and see moral strength or weakness? Will our heroes stand with us in moral discipline and courage? Or will they run away, dragging us after the carnal?\n\n\nA Treatise on Storytelling, II: Cowardly\u00a0Stories\n\n\u201cYou\u2019ve got to go into the scrap heap\u201d Theodor Kittelsen 1880\n\nBy the end of Ibsen\u2019s Peer Gynt, the titular character is a pitiful figure. Whenever he is given the chance to be someone, whether good or evil, he runs away, leaving sorrowful lovers, unruled kingdoms, and abandoned fortunes behind him. While Peer lives a wild life following every desire that comes to his mind, his life is worthless. As an old man, he is finally faced with the messenger of death who has come to take his soul. Peer is horrified to find that rather than a messenger of God to take him to heaven or the devil to take him to hell, he is met with a simple looking man who refers to himself as the \u201cbutton moulder.\u201d He informs Peer that Peer will be melted back down into a pool of souls, and reused as someone who will hopefully amount to something on the second time around. \u201cYou were meant to be a gleaming button on the world\u2019s waistcoat, but your loop was missing; so you\u2019ve got to go into the scrap-heap, to be merged into the mass\u201d\u00b9 For the rest of the play Peer relentlessly tries to prove that he is good enough for heaven or bad enough for hell. He will do anything to escape the oblivion that he would meet in the casting ladle of the button moulder. Peer\u2019s cowardice in life caused his life to mean nothing at death. Like Peer, the stories that we tell often run from hefty moral decisions and end up\u00a0without definition, fit only to be melted down and reused.\n\nEvery story is a matter of right and wrong.

Solomon Me\u00efri (Don Vidal Solomon), with his commentaries on the Talmud and his \"Bet ha-Be\u1e25irah,\" an introduction to the commentary of Abot, and interesting for the information it gives concerning the rabbis of the time. The novell\u00e6 (\"\u1e25iddushim\"), which were characteristic of Provence, no longer showed any originality. There was a fundamental difference between the new learning originating with Maimonides and the traditional learning centering in the Talmud; and this difference, as was to be expected, soon led to controversies, which form one of the most interesting chapters in the history of the Jews, not only of southern France, but of entire Judaism.\n\nMaimonists and Anti-Maimonists.\n\nThe publication of Maimonides' Mishneh Torah had aroused the indignation of Abraham ibn Daud, as well as of the Spanish Talmudist Me\u00efr b. Todros Abulafia ha-Levi, nasi of Toledo. The latter wrote his impressions to one of Maimonides' correspondents, Jonathan Cohen of Lunel: he was especially scandalized by the way in which Maimonides had juggled with the doctrine of the Resurrection; it had disturbed the Jews, and was leading them to an absolute denial of the future life. Aaron b. Meshullam of Lunel came to the defense of Maimonides, answering the Spanish scholar with much warmth. As Me\u00efr felt that his views were not finding favor at home, he turned to the rabbis of northern France, and made Solomon of Dreux, Simson of Sens, Simson of Corbeil, David of Ch\u00e2teau-Thierry, Abraham of Touques, Eliezer b. Aaron of Bourgogne, and others, judges in the dispute. They sided with Me\u00efr, but their discussions were confined to an exchange of letters, the dates of which are not known, though they must have been written at least before 1210, since Aaron b. Meshullam died in that year. But after Samuel ibn Tibbon translated Maimonides' \"Guide of the Perplexed,\" the popularity of the works of the Jewish philosopher thoroughly aroused the orthodox rabbis of southern France, who regarded the dissemination of Maimonides' rationalism as dangerous to Judaism. The Talmudist Solomon b. Abraham of Montpellier, assisted by two of his pupils, David b. Saul and Jonah of Girona, threatened to excommunicate any one who should read Maimonides' works. This was the first time within Judaism that such a step had been taken; the Rabbis were doubtless influenced by the example of the Inquisition, which then held sway in that region. The Jews of southern France, who had been taught from infancy to admire Maimonides, considered it presumptuous to treat him as a heretic, and no rabbi of Provence was found willing to join Solomon of Montpellier in uttering the ban. The latter, at the instance of Me\u00efr Abulafia, appealed for cooperation to the French rabbis, who were known for their unswervable attachment to tradition; he sent Judah of Girona to them, and he obtained their promise to support the sentence of excommunication. Thereupon all the Jews of Provence rose in protest; the rabbis of Lunel, B\u00e9ziers, and Narbonne, and following them those of all the communities of that region, answered in kind, excommunicating Solomon and his two disciples. The quarrel spread across the Pyrenees, and the communities of Aragon and Castile sided with Maimonides (1232). The community of Toledo alone did not respond; this alarmed Solomon's opponents, and one of them, the famous David \u1e32im\u1e25i, who had at first been suspected of rationalism by the rabbis of northern France, but had succeeded in convincing them of his true position, set out for Spain in order to bring the community of Toledo into line. But before reaching that city he learned that its foremost scholar, Judah b. Alfakar, with whom he had previously corresponded, had published a letter in which he sided against Maimonides, declaring that the doctrine of Judaism had nothing in common with the philosophy of Aristotle. This letter had already provoked many replies. But David \u1e32im\u1e25i received at the same time the astounding news that Solomon b. Abraham, abandoned by almost all his followers, had, seemingly in a fit of madness, denounced to the Inquisition in Montpellier the \"Sefer Madda'\" (the introduction to the Mishneh Torah) and the \"Guide\" of Maimonides. The whole city of Montpellier, where the partizans and adversaries of Solomon had carried their quarrels even into the streets, was filled with consternation when the books of the famous Jewish theologian were solemnly burned (1234 or 1235). The adversaries of Maimonides were confounded by their triumph. Some, including Jonah, repented of their action in public; the vanquished heaped scorn upon the victors. It even seems that Jaime, seignior of Montpellier, who was greatly attached to two partizans of Maimonides, caused to be arrested and condemned for calumny those who had attacked Maimonides and his followers. The excitement in southern France was not allayed for a long time, and later, when the contest took place between the liberal and orthodox parties, although it too was based on Maimonides' teachings, no one dared mention his name or attack his opinions. The quarrel was in fact renewed in 1303 by Abba Mari b. Moses b. Joseph (also known as \"En Astruc\") of Lunel, assisted by Simon b. Joseph (\"En Duran\") of Lunel.\n\nDispute About Philosophical Studies\n\nIn several letters addressed to Solomon b. Adret of Barcelona, the foremost rabbinical authority of the time, Abba Mari pointed out the errors of the philosophical school, which interpreted as allegories not only passages of the Talmud, but also Bible stories. Thus Abraham and Sarah were taken to signify the union of matter and form; the twelve tribes to mean the twelve planets; etc. Furthermore, the writer complained that instead of praying andreciting the Psalms, the people read Aristotle and Plato; and that on Sabbaths and festivals the young people studied works devoted to dangerous interpretations. He declared that steps must be taken to check this peril, and that the books dangerous to the faith must be excommunicated. Although Solomon b. Adret shared the views of his correspondent, he did not dare to take the initiative in so grave a matter, but desired to wait until the communities interested in the question should force the action upon him. Abba Mari then took the matter into his own hands, and wrote successively to most of the rabbis of Provence. Levi of Villefranche, a scholar who was visiting Samuel Sulami, was charged with having interpreted the Scriptures allegorically, and his host no longer dared to keep him in his house. Soon the communities were again divided. A letter from Barcelona, signed by Solomon b. Adret and fourteen other rabbis, and threatening with excommunication any one who should engage in philosophic studies before the age of thirty, was brought to Montpellier. This letter was not published immediately, as the community desired to examine it first. After long discussions Abba Mari, in spite of the opposition of the famous Jacob b. Machir, one of the Ibn Tibbons, finally decided to read it in the synagogue of Montpellier. But because many of the faithful rallied to the support of Jacob b. Machir, Abba Mari was forced to abandon the matter. The quarrel between the orthodox and the liberal factions became ever more bitter, and both sides wrote to the rabbis of Barcelona explaining the state of affairs. Solomon b. Adret, frightened by the attitude of his adversaries, did not dare to take part openly against them, but asked Abba Mari to reconsider the matter, being himself disposed to rest satisfied with the open repentance of Levi of Villefranche, the only guilty one. Solomon took this stand in consequence of the increasing number of protests that reached him. That sent by Jacob b. Machir, imperious in tone, defended philosophic studies and taxed Solomon b. Adret with duplicity. Adret was hard pressed by Abba Mari and the other rabbis, and finally, in the month of Ab, 1305, the interdiction against studying \"Greek\" books before the age of twenty-five, and against interpreting the Scriptures allegorically, was pronounced in the synagogue of Barcelona. The liberal party of Montpellier, headed by Solomon of Lunel, instead of confessing itself defeated, applied to the governor of Montpellier, without whose authorization the sentence of excommunication could not be uttered against the Jews of the city; and Solomon then", "base_doc": " of scholars; but they were not leaders in the intellectual world, and even their principal works contain nothing particularly striking.

What I definitely am questioning are his/their impartiality, methodology and conclusions. Credentials per se don't really make a difference, do they? Plenty of other economists with equal or even more heavyweight credentials appear to have drawn very different conclusions to those of the Cuthberts, ergo some economists must be wrong. And it might even be the Cuthberts. Or are you saying that someone without credentials isn't entitled to express an opinion, and anyone with them must automatically be right or above question?\n\nWhat matters is the quality of the argument, and on that score I (not an economist I cheerfully admit) find the Cuthberts' unconvincing for the reasons given, reasons which you are most welcome to dispute. To add to them, anyone who singles out the year 08/09 to base a conclusion on, when it is THE massive outlier exception to the generally less favourable economic pattern over the last fifteen years, is struggling to make a convincing case - if I'm permitted to make that observation.\n\nThe Cuthberts' argument for including Scotland's balance of payments in the overall economic picture is quite reasonable, for the purpose of perspective. But then let us at least look across a representative spread of years, not only the single most favourable, and draw some more balanced conclusions on average performance figures. We're not simpletons, you know. And let's look at where the bulk of that net outflow goes (rUK, Europe) and what sectors mainly contribute to it (oil, finance), and consider challenging Indie scenarios such as borders, membership and currency. And lastly, let's ask how might any of it create a healthier public finance picture. Because unless that balance of payments picture materially alters the substance of SG revenues and the health of Scotland's public finances as described by GERS, then the size of net outflow adds nothing of any real relevance whatever to the discussion. Perhaps you can explain it to this non-expert.\n\nFor the record, I did not pigeon-hole the Cuthberts as amateurs - that would be childish ad hominem stuff - I said they were unprofessionally selective in their use of data.

To add to them, anyone who singles out the year 08/09 to base a conclusion on, when it is THE massive outlier exception to the generally less favourable economic pattern over the last fifteen years, is struggling to make a convincing case - if I'm permitted to make that observation.\n\nThe Cuthberts' argument for including Scotland's balance of payments in the overall economic picture is quite reasonable, for the purpose of perspective. But then let us at least look across a representative spread of years, not only the single most favourable, and draw some more balanced conclusions on average performance figures. We're not simpletons, you know. And let's look at where the bulk of that net outflow goes (rUK, Europe) and what sectors mainly contribute to it (oil, finance), and consider challenging Indie scenarios such as borders, membership and currency. And lastly, let's ask how might any of it create a healthier public finance picture. Because unless that balance of payments picture materially alters the substance of SG revenues and the health of Scotland's public finances as described by GERS, then the size of net outflow adds nothing of any real relevance whatever to the discussion. Perhaps you can explain it to this non-expert.\n\nFor the record, I did not pigeon-hole the Cuthberts as amateurs - that would be childish ad hominem stuff - I said they were unprofessionally selective in their use of data.

Akbar\n\nPope Benedict XVI will be remembered not for the ease of his arrival, nor for the unremarkable quality of his tenure, but for the courage of his departure. It takes character to sublimate one\u2019s ego to the demands of duty, and to recognise that both body and spirit have now lost their ability to serve the great cause of an institution such as the papacy. His example has inevitably inspired questions about a Prime Minister, or two, who seems to have passed his sell-by date. As the poet might have remarked, nothing he did in his grand office excelled the humility of his exit.\nWhen history is written with a cold pen, Pope Benedict will be seen as no more than a brief hyphen between predecessor and successor. But this extraordinary event just might begin to raise questions, albeit along a tangential arc, about a doctrine that has controlled the image of the Pope for the last 140-odd years: infallibility.\n\nThere were more similarities between the Catholic Pope and the Islamic Caliph than either might care to admit. Both were territorial monarchs who imposed a halo of divinity upon a worldly enterprise. Both could use religion as a shield for their politics of power. Succession was limited to an oligarchy in the church, and dynasty in the Caliphate; but equal care was taken to ensure that the throne did not fall into careless hands. The Pope\u2019s ceremonial attire is no less opulent than any king\u2019s. In one respect the Caliph was more cautious; he did not outsource his power to any Holy Roman Emperor. But both ordered armies into the field, used torture against their enemies, took booty, amassed and lost fortunes, and were a major factor in the power play of their areas of control and influence. The Caliph actually displaced the church across all his territories, from Byzantine Turkey to Asia Minor and north Africa.\n\nBy the 19th century and the gradual rise of a modern nation-state, both the papacy and the caliphate began to lose their energy and purpose. The Caliph\u2019s empire was whittled away by nationalist urges [encouraged by traditional and new enemies] in Greece, the Balkans and finally the Arab regions. The Pope\u2019s lands were limited to fiefdoms in Italy, and Italian nationalists soon reduced the Vatican to a handsome church and a few marketplaces in the heart of Rome.\nIt was at this juncture, in 1870, that Pope Pius IX saved the institution in the short run. He called a council and forced it to declare that a Pope was infallible; he could do no wrong. Unable to compete with men, he elevated the papacy to the voice of God. Quite a few previous Popes might not have sniggered in public, but they would have laughed heartily in private at the thought that a Pope was the epitome of virtue. There were colourful Italian Popes who enjoyed excesses of the flesh with insouciant joy. They sired illegitimate children and delighted in the delicacy of their food. Their greed and crass exploitation of faith led to the protests which the German Martin Luther channelised into the Protestant church.\n\nBut the best of them were brilliant politicians; most of them were extremely capable rulers. And when history made their temporal power a figment of imagination, they reinvented themselves in their alter ego: they claimed total control over the personal lives of their flock, issuing edicts of the sort that still makes birth control a sin among Catholics.\n\nThe Caliph was less fortunate when the time came for Turks to pack him off. The Sultan could not become an upgraded Sheikh ul Islam because Muslims, like Jews, believe in\u00a0tawhid, or the indivisibility of God: it would be sacrilegious for any Muslim to claim that he had become as infallible as divinity. [It might be mentioned, in passing, that it was only in the early part of the fourth century that Christian bishops adopted the trinity as a central tenet of their faith, at the Council of Nicea; before that most Christians did not consider Jesus son of God.] The Vatican survived, and flourished; as an independent state with supranational power over Catholic believers, it has ambassadors across the world.\n\nPope Benedict\u2019s retirement creates the unique situation of two infallible Popes being alive at the same time. One answer to any potential dilemma is obvious: it is the office which is infallible, not the individual. Benedict returns to life as Joseph Ratzinger, this time even without the privilege of being Cardinal. But what if he differs with a successor who suggests that long-held convictions, as on birth control or women priests, need to be revised? The Catholic church changes, if it changes at all, from top down. But a democratic age builds pressures from down-up, as for instance in Catholic Ireland, which is in the midst of debate on abortion.\nPope Benedict protected the status quo in office. Would he be tempted to save his legacy with the moral power of abdication?\n\nNo comments:<|endoftext|>What is the difference to other technologies?\n\nThe Zell-Check was developed for a detailed study of the bio-availability of minerals, micro-nutrients, and heavy metals in living tissue. The measurement takes place on the skin of the palm of the hand. So you can observe what is happening directly in the tissue, and not only in the secretions, which are much less stable. In fact, in the urine you only see what the body has expelled. Hairs provide information about what happened in the body a few weeks, or even months before. Blood shows only what is in the circulatory system. With the Zell-Check examination, it is possible to observe what happens in the tissue, and thus intracellular bio-availability is assessed. These measurements are different and complement one another.\n\nWhat are the advantages for the patient?\n\nThe patient performs his/her Zell-Check test in real time and for reasonable price. The result can be evaluated immediately. The patient benefits from personal care and can track how his/her analysis evolves over time.\n\nDoes the Zell-Check yield the same results as a blood test?\n\nThe two measurements provide different dimensions for understanding as well as information about minerals and metabolism. They complement each other in this respect and are necessary for a complete understanding of the patient.\n\nIs the Zell-Check clinically proven?\n\nThe device was confirmed by our scientific team on the basis of a comprehensive series of comparative studies on the clinical symptoms of the patients. In addition, correlations with other measurement methods could be observed.\n\nCan the Zell-Check be used in the examination of children?\n\nYes, a Zell-Check measurement can also be carried out on children 2 years and older.\n\nWhich operating system is required to use the Zell-Check software?\n\nThe Zell-Check software is available for both Windows and MacOS.\n\nBecome a Zell-Check Analysis Center\n\nTake full advantage of the Zell-Check and become a certified Zell-Check analysis center.<|endoftext|>Tips for removing a ring stuck on a finger\n\nDid it happen to you once you faced a situation where your ring got stuck on your finger? If the answer is yes, then you know that it is certainly not a part of fun when you try to remove it. There are a number of reasons why this situation. We have for example that your finger is bigger than the ring, or that it has swelled because of heat or a little health concern. The list is still long; But whatever the reason, by reading this article you will know how to remove the ring when you are again confronted with this kind of concern.\n\nFirst tip: The use of a lubricant\n\nWhen you have trouble removing a ring from your finger, you are advised to use soap for example. Pass the soap on the finger so that it also passes over and under the ring. and wet lightly. You will see that your finger will start by slipping which will allow the ring to easily slide also and remove it. You can also use oil. The process is the same. Dip your finger in the oil and once you have come out, start by gently pulling on the finger until the ring is removed. Butter, Vaseline, and even creams are products that you could use as lubricants in order to be satisfied.\n\n2nd Tip: The method of the hanging hand\n\nThis trick is to suspend the arm containing the finger to the ring that refuses to take off in the air for a while.

But both ordered armies into the field, used torture against their enemies, took booty, amassed and lost fortunes, and were a major factor in the power play of their areas of control and influence. The Caliph actually displaced the church across all his territories, from Byzantine Turkey to Asia Minor and north Africa.\n\nBy the 19th century and the gradual rise of a modern nation-state, both the papacy and the caliphate began to lose their energy and purpose. The Caliph\u2019s empire was whittled away by nationalist urges [encouraged by traditional and new enemies] in Greece, the Balkans and finally the Arab regions. The Pope\u2019s lands were limited to fiefdoms in Italy, and Italian nationalists soon reduced the Vatican to a handsome church and a few marketplaces in the heart of Rome.\nIt was at this juncture, in 1870, that Pope Pius IX saved the institution in the short run. He called a council and forced it to declare that a Pope was infallible; he could do no wrong. Unable to compete with men, he elevated the papacy to the voice of God. Quite a few previous Popes might not have sniggered in public, but they would have laughed heartily in private at the thought that a Pope was the epitome of virtue. There were colourful Italian Popes who enjoyed excesses of the flesh with insouciant joy. They sired illegitimate children and delighted in the delicacy of their food. Their greed and crass exploitation of faith led to the protests which the German Martin Luther channelised into the Protestant church.\n\nBut the best of them were brilliant politicians; most of them were extremely capable rulers. And when history made their temporal power a figment of imagination, they reinvented themselves in their alter ego: they claimed total control over the personal lives of their flock, issuing edicts of the sort that still makes birth control a sin among Catholics.\n\nThe Caliph was less fortunate when the time came for Turks to pack him off. The Sultan could not become an upgraded Sheikh ul Islam because Muslims, like Jews, believe in\u00a0tawhid, or the indivisibility of God: it would be sacrilegious for any Muslim to claim that he had become as infallible as divinity. [It might be mentioned, in passing, that it was only in the early part of the fourth century that Christian bishops adopted the trinity as a central tenet of their faith, at the Council of Nicea; before that most Christians did not consider Jesus son of God.] The Vatican survived, and flourished; as an independent state with supranational power over Catholic believers, it has ambassadors across the world.\n\nPope Benedict\u2019s retirement creates the unique situation of two infallible Popes being alive at the same time. One answer to any potential dilemma is obvious: it is the office which is infallible, not the individual. Benedict returns to life as Joseph Ratzinger, this time even without the privilege of being Cardinal. But what if he differs with a successor who suggests that long-held convictions, as on birth control or women priests, need to be revised? The Catholic church changes, if it changes at all, from top down. But a democratic age builds pressures from down-up, as for instance in Catholic Ireland, which is in the midst of debate on abortion.\nPope Benedict protected the status quo in office. Would he be tempted to save his legacy with the moral power of abdication?\n\nNo comments:<|endoftext|>What is the difference to other technologies?\n\nThe Zell-Check was developed for a detailed study of the bio-availability of minerals, micro-nutrients, and heavy metals in living tissue. The measurement takes place on the skin of the palm of the hand. So you can observe what is happening directly in the tissue, and not only in the secretions, which are much less stable. In fact, in the urine you only see what the body has expelled. Hairs provide information about what happened in the body a few weeks, or even months before. Blood shows only what is in the circulatory system. With the Zell-Check examination, it is possible to observe what happens in the tissue, and thus intracellular bio-availability is assessed. These measurements are different and complement one another.\n\nWhat are the advantages for the patient?\n\nThe patient performs his/her Zell-Check test in real time and for reasonable price. The result can be evaluated immediately. The patient benefits from personal care and can track how his/her analysis evolves over time.\n\nDoes the Zell-Check yield the same results as a blood test?\n\nThe two measurements provide different dimensions for understanding as well as information about minerals and metabolism. They complement each other in this respect and are necessary for a complete understanding of the patient.\n\nIs the Zell-Check clinically proven?\n\nThe device was confirmed by our scientific team on the basis of a comprehensive series of comparative studies on the clinical symptoms of the patients. In addition, correlations with other measurement methods could be observed.\n\nCan the Zell-Check be used in the examination of children?\n\nYes, a Zell-Check measurement can also be carried out on children 2 years and older.\n\nWhich operating system is required to use the Zell-Check software?\n\nThe Zell-Check software is available for both Windows and MacOS.\n\nBecome a Zell-Check Analysis Center\n\nTake full advantage of the Zell-Check and become a certified Zell-Check analysis center.<|endoftext|>Tips for removing a ring stuck on a finger\n\nDid it happen to you once you faced a situation where your ring got stuck on your finger? If the answer is yes, then you know that it is certainly not a part of fun when you try to remove it. There are a number of reasons why this situation. We have for example that your finger is bigger than the ring, or that it has swelled because of heat or a little health concern. The list is still long; But whatever the reason, by reading this article you will know how to remove the ring when you are again confronted with this kind of concern.\n\nFirst tip: The use of a lubricant\n\nWhen you have trouble removing a ring from your finger, you are advised to use soap for example. Pass the soap on the finger so that it also passes over and under the ring. and wet lightly. You will see that your finger will start by slipping which will allow the ring to easily slide also and remove it. You can also use oil. The process is the same. Dip your finger in the oil and once you have come out, start by gently pulling on the finger until the ring is removed. Butter, Vaseline, and even creams are products that you could use as lubricants in order to be satisfied.\n\n2nd Tip: The method of the hanging hand\n\nThis trick is to suspend the arm containing the finger to the ring that refuses to take off in the air for a while. You wonder, but how is that possible? In fact, by making this gesture, it will allow you to relax a little nerves, which will allow the finger to deflate to", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 307698, "pt_loc": 121104475, "pt_shuffle_idx": 24061914, "doc_index_f": 37721868, "doc_index_l": 37721872, "offset_f": 532, "offset_l": 341, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 20, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [127, 53, 1098, 429, 342]} +{"pt_doc": "Question: Who is the father of Edmund of Scotland?\nAnswer: Malcolm III of Scotland<|endoftext|> entrepreneur you may be able to structure your business ownership in ways that can reduce taxes. A well-crafted buy-sell agreement, limited partnership, or limited liability company may allow you to protect the existence of the business upon your death and reduce the estate taxes for your family.\n\nMyth #4: Without a Will, My Kids Will Lose the Family Farm (or Business)\n\"The family farm-or family business-that Mom and Dad hoped to hand down from generation to generation will need to be sold to pay the 'death tax.' \" Not true, for several reasons.\n\nFirst, remember the first $2 million is tax free ($4 million with a family trust). That increases to $3,500,000 (and $7 million) in 2009. Some family businesses, or farms, may be worth more than that. Most aren't. Therefore, no tax. The family will inherit the business tax free, and your children can continue to run the family business.\n\nSecond, even if you are fortunate enough to own a family business worth more than $7 million, the tax code actually has special provisions to protect your family business-and even more special provisions to save the family farm. If your estate is greater than $7 million and the family business accounts for more than 35 percent of the value, any taxes due on your estate can be the paid over 14 years. If that isn't help enough, your children can pay interest only for the first five years, at interest rates in the 1 percent or 2 percent range, and then pay off the balance over the next nine years at an interest rate of about 4 percent. Even when the Federal Reserve Discount rate was below 1 percent in the year 2004, you couldn't get that low an interest rate on a first mortgage on your house!\n\nFinally, if you don't want your family to pay off a 14-year, low-interest loan, as a business owner, you can buy life insurance to provide funds to pay any estate taxes that may become payable. By holding this life insurance policy in a special life-insurance trust, you provide a tax-free source of funds to fully pay the taxes due on a family business worth tens of millions of dollars, or more.\n\nMyth #5: Trusts Always Reduce the Cost of Dying\n\"Probate is expensive. A living trust will avoid probate and save money.\" Avoid probate, yes. Save money, maybe.\n\nWhether a living trust will save money when compared to probate depends upon your unique circumstances. Remember, probate and living trusts are two different methods to transfer your assets to your family or friends. It's true that a trust will do that at a lower direct cost than probate will. However, unlike most probates, trusts commonly distribute your assets over many years. For example, a trust may provide lifetime income to your surviving spouse and then continue distributing income to your children for many years (until they become mature enough to handle the money themselves). These distributions can last 10, 20, 30 years, or more. In each of those years, your family trust will incur accounting fees to prepare an additional income tax return (although additional income tax usually will not be due), and in some years additional attorney's fees will be incurred to resolve administrative issues related to the trust. Finally, if a family member is not serving as trustee, the fees paid to a private trustee over several years will exceed the cost of probate. Simply put, you need to evaluate the costs and benefits of a trust over the entire anticipated lifetime of the trust. Frequently, the benefits of a trust are great and the cost comparison to probate is favorable, but the analysis needs to be done on a case-by-case basis.\n\nMyth #6: The Estate Tax is an Unfair \"Death Tax\"\nPoliticians often refer to the estate tax as an unfair \"death tax.\" You work hard, you pay income tax your entire life, and then when you die, the government taxes the money you already paid taxes on, just because you died. Sometimes this is true; often it is not. Most estate tax is imposed on income that has never been taxed. How can that be?\n\nThere are two basic kinds of income tax in the United States. The most common is \"ordinary\" income tax on things like wages, interest earned on savings accounts, dividends on stocks, rent received on property, and the like. The other is \"capital gains\" income tax on the increased value of things you invest in such as stocks, real estate (including your house), and your family business. You pay tax on your ordinary income every year, whether or not you actually receive the money. If you earn $1,000 in interest on your savings account this year, you will probably pay around $300 in income tax even if the money you earned is still in your bank account.\n\nCapital gains are different. If the value of a stock you own goes up $1,000 this year, you pay no tax unless you choose to sell the stock. If you have built a successful family business, either from the ground up or by buying an existing business, you haven't been taxed on the increase in the value of business. If you have used the profits of your business to buy stocks, real estate, and other investments, the growth in those investments may not have been taxed as of the time of your death. While most Americans receive the bulk of their income as \"ordinary\" income-and are fully taxed every year-if you have accumulated enough value to be subject to the estate tax, much of what you own is likely to be \"capital gains\" investments that have not yet been taxed: investments in your business, your family residence, and your brokerage account. Under our tax laws, these investments will go to your family or friends free of income tax and free of capital gains tax. Without the estate tax, these assets that have grown to be worth several million dollars (remember, the estate tax doesn't even start until $2 million-or $3,500,000 starting in 2008) can completely escape taxation. The result is either a well-deserved tax shelter for the most productive (and economically fortunate) members of our society, or simply \"welfare for the rich.\" In any event, the estate tax is not an additional tax on death.\n\nMyth #7: Estate Planning Is Asset Protection\nYou read about it in the newspaper and see it on the television news. A lawsuit filed because coffee is too hot. Fraudulent auto accidents staged to extract money from drivers of late-model, luxury cars. The list is endless and the message is clear: You need to take steps to protect your wealth from frivolous lawsuits. However, estate planning is not asset protection. A family trust does not shield your assets from lawsuits or business risks. Under most state's laws, a living trust or family trust is \"transparent\" and your assets are subject to the same risk of lawsuits or other loss as before you established the trust.\n\nThere are ways to protect your assets, but estate planning isn't the way. Some ways are simple, such as auto insurance and homeowner's liability insurance. Others are incredibly complex and require the help of highly-trained specialists. Consult your attorney or accountant for smart ways to protect your assets.\n\nWant to know more about creating an estate plan that effectively ensures your estate is handled according to your wishes?

All you needed to do was to say some magic words and slap them together in a business plan and you\u2019re sure to generate lots of attention, if not cold hard investment cash. Some of these magic words still resonate with power even today. The phrase cloud computing, augmented reality, they still pack quite a bit of a punch. 3d printing also has a magical ability to make investors eyes glaze over. Sadly, one phrase is no longer on the list of magical talismanic words for venture capitalist, and angel investors. What phrase is this? Mobile apps. That\u2019s right. This previous darling of investors is pretty much in the dog house now. What makes it so unattractive? Shear saturation. It seemed that a few years ago, even as recently as last year, there was such a frenzy over mobile app development. It seemed like every developer and his dog was rushing out to slap together a mobile app. Well, it just became too saturated and the sad reality as we have mentioned in these pages before, is that most of the apps being developed really can\u2019t stand a chance. Why? Because there\u2019s so many apps that were developed before. Unless you are addressing a very fundamental need in a very immediate way, chances are, your app will just fall between the cracks. This isn\u2019t rocket science.\n\nIf you come up with a nice game for a tablet or a smartphone, chances are, it\u2019s not gonna go anywhere unless you already have a solid brand or your mobile up is an extension of an existing hit game. The chances of another Candy Crush or Angry Birds is quite remote considering how segmented the market has become. Another factor is that, users are getting skeptical. It used to be that end-users would just be flat out thrilled that there is an app that claims to do something that is quite neat. But now, it seems that there are apps for all kinds of human activities and to make things worst, there are two or more apps claiming to do those activities. As a result, most of the apps being released now are free. The companies releasing them are hoping to recoup their development cost when people buy the premium versions of these apps. But since these apps are so numerous and there are many different players rolling out similar apps. The chances of people actually paying more to get the premium version is quite remote. This is the background to the recent Gartner report that says that the glory days of mobile phone and tablet apps are pretty much over. According to the report, most developers producing apps will consider their products commercial flops. Does this mean that you shouldn\u2019t produce apps anymore? Absolutely not. All it means is, you have to be realistic and also you have to fight the right battles. If you\u2019re going to be rolling out the 100th app that tries to do something that everybody has done before, it\u2019s probably not a good idea. However, if you have come up with something completely new or something or you solved a problem that previous apps just can\u2019t seem to solve then you may be on to something.\n\n, ,<|endoftext|>How did I get\u00a0here?\n\nI started off as an English and Journalism student, eventually settling on English Teaching in college.

All you needed to do was to say some magic words and slap them together in a business plan and you\u2019re sure to generate lots of attention, if not cold hard investment cash. Some of these magic words still resonate with power even today. The phrase cloud computing, augmented reality, they still pack quite a bit of a punch. 3d printing also has a magical ability to make investors eyes glaze over. Sadly, one phrase is no longer on the list of magical talismanic words for venture capitalist, and angel investors. What phrase is this? Mobile apps. That\u2019s right. This previous darling of investors is pretty much in the dog house now. What makes it so unattractive? Shear saturation. It seemed that a few years ago, even as recently as last year, there was such a frenzy over mobile app development. It seemed like every developer and his dog was rushing out to slap together a mobile app. Well, it just became too saturated and the sad reality as we have mentioned in these pages before, is that most of the apps being developed really can\u2019t stand a chance. Why? Because there\u2019s so many apps that were developed before. Unless you are addressing a very fundamental need in a very immediate way, chances are, your app will just fall between the cracks. This isn\u2019t rocket science.\n\nIf you come up with a nice game for a tablet or a smartphone, chances are, it\u2019s not gonna go anywhere unless you already have a solid brand or your mobile up is an extension of an existing hit game. The chances of another Candy Crush or Angry Birds is quite remote considering how segmented the market has become. Another factor is that, users are getting skeptical. It used to be that end-users would just be flat out thrilled that there is an app that claims to do something that is quite neat. But now, it seems that there are apps for all kinds of human activities and to make things worst, there are two or more apps claiming to do those activities. As a result, most of the apps being released now are free. The companies releasing them are hoping to recoup their development cost when people buy the premium versions of these apps. But since these apps are so numerous and there are many different players rolling out similar apps. The chances of people actually paying more to get the premium version is quite remote. This is the background to the recent Gartner report that says that the glory days of mobile phone and tablet apps are pretty much over. According to the report, most developers producing apps will consider their products commercial flops. Does this mean that you shouldn\u2019t produce apps anymore? Absolutely not. All it means is, you have to be realistic and also you have to fight the right battles. If you\u2019re going to be rolling out the 100th app that tries to do something that everybody has done before, it\u2019s probably not a good idea. However, if you have come up with something completely new or something or you solved a problem that previous apps just can\u2019t seem to solve then you may be on to something.\n\n, ,<|endoftext|>How did I get\u00a0here?\n\nI started off as an English and Journalism student, eventually settling on English Teaching in college.

That seems to me to fit in nicely with the whole idea that the Lord will come and get His saints, then come in judgment as a sort of a second stage. Is it a slam-dunk? Nope. But I think it fits.\n\nBut the point is that both Jude and Matthew predict an ongoing infiltration that will continue until the Lord comes back.\n\nWhat about the other epistles? Not all the epistles discuss the issue of ruin, but those that do agree in at least the general outline. We might consider 1 Timothy 4:1, \"the Spirit speaks expressly, that in latter times some shall apostatise from the faith, giving their mind to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons\". 2 Timothy 3:1\u20139 says something similar, \"in the last days difficult times shall be there; for men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, etc.\" Both 1 and 2 Timothy explicitly teach that \"the last days\" are characterized by apostasy. That is to say, it's not going to get better and better. It's going to get worse and worse. But we have to look over to 1 John to fit the puzzle pieces together: \"Little children, it is the last hour, and, according as ye have heard that antichrist comes, even now there have come many antichrists, whence we know that it is the last hour\" (1 John 2:18). So the \"last hour\" has already begun. It began in the time of the Apostles. And (this is significant), 1 John produces the presence of \"many antichrists\" as evidence that the \"last hour\" has already begun. In the next verse, it is clarified what these \"many antichrists\" are: they are apostates (1 John 2:19).\n\nWhat do these epistles say about the resolution to this apostasy? Do they predict a repentance? No, they don't.\n\nThe first few verses of 2 Timothy 4 might shed some additional light on our contemplation:\n\nWe notice there is a connection with the return of Christ \"who is about to judge the living and the dead\". The connection is apocalyptic: \"and by his appearing and his kingdom\". And what does the epistle say? That there is a time coming when \"they\" will not bear sound teaching. Once again, we see a picture of decline. The Scripture doesn't contemplate things getting better and better. The Lord Jesus asked, \"when the Son of man comes, shall he indeed find faith on the earth?\" (Luke 18:8). It is important for us to understand this: the entire testimony of Scripture is moral decline between Christ's first and second advent.\n\nSo the testimony of the Lord Jesus, the Apostle Paul, and the epistles is that apostasy has set in. It set in early: Jude considers it was an accomplished fact, 1 John says it [was] already \"the last hour\". And the Scripture presents this apostasy as continuing until the Lord Jesus comes back to judge \"at the completion of the age\".\n\nWe've now considered the basic idea of the \"church in ruin\". Scripture teaches that apostasy would set into the church early; and, having set in, it would be irreparable. We must bear in mind that this is only from one particular perspective.

However, each type of loan involves differing criteria for eligibility and functions in a different manner. While one of our mortgage brokers in Long Island can assist you in making a selection, you need to know some basic information about each type of loan.\n\nConventional Loans\n\nConventional loans are not insured by the Federal Housing Authority and can be fixed- or adjustable-rate mortgages. Furthermore, conventional loans (which can be conforming or non-conforming depending upon the lender) require a large down payment and high credit score. However, these loans have a greater degree of flexibility, as the loan normally stays with the original lender.\n\nConforming Loans\n\nGovernment-sponsored lenders, most notably Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, offer conforming loans. Conforming loans require a lower credit score (around 620) than non-conforming loans, have adjustable- or fixed-interest rates, and must meet the guidelines set forth by the Federal Government. Most conforming loans do not exceed the Loan-to-Value ratio of 97%, or $417,000. However, some conforming loans can transition into Jumbo loans if they go above this limit.\n\nFHA Loans\n\nFederal Housing Authority loans have lower credit and income requirements and are insured under the federal government should a borrower default. Borrowers must typically put 3.5% down on FHA loans, but if the down payment is gifted, the borrower essentially gains a loan with zero down. In addition, borrowers must obtain and renew mortgage insurance annually throughout the course of the loan.\n\nVA Loans\n\nVA loans are guaranteed by the Department of Veterans\u2019 Affairs, and therefore, the Federal Government. However, VA loans are for the exclusive use of veterans and their surviving spouses, and the veteran must meet several eligibility requirements with relation to length-of-time on active or inactive duty. Unlike conforming loans, borrowers do not put any money down on a home, which allows them to obtain 100% financing.\n\nState and Local Housing Programs\n\nDepending on your respective state, you may qualify for some local or state housing programs. These programs often involve low down payments and easily attainable terms, rates, and monthly payments. Our mortgage company will provide you with a list of programs you may qualify for.\n\nJumbo Loans\n\nJumbo loans are conforming loans that supersede the limits set forth for Loan-to-Value amount per unit. However, jumbo loans routinely have a higher interest rate\u2013which can be adjustable or fixed\u2013than other government-sponsored loans. In addition, borrowers have the potential of obtaining 100% financing on jumbo loans depending on the number of units and total value of the loan, especially for loans above $1.5 million.\n\nFixed Rate Mortgage\n\nThe interest rate on fixed rate mortgages does not change in conjunction with the daily housing market interest rates. Borrowers will have the same rate throughout the course of the loan. However, the requirements for obtaining a fixed rate mortgage may be more strict than an adjustable rate mortgage.\n\nAdjustable Rate Mortgage\n\nAdjustable rate mortgages can be a risky investment. As the housing market fluctuates, the interest rate will rise and fall, resulting in decreased monthly payments during low rates and higher payments as interest rises.\n\nYou have several, specific options for the type of home loan you wish to take out when obtaining an initial loan or when refinancing a mortgage. Our Long Island mortgage company can help determine which loans will best suit your needs, what you qualify for, and advise you on your next Long Island mortgage journey.<|endoftext|>Visions of the Past\u00a0\u00a0LbNA # 16988\n\nPlaced DateJul 30 2005\nLocation???, IL\nFound By???\nLast UpdateJul 14 2013\n\n\nIt was the weekend of September 13th, 1958 and approximately 150,000 spectators gathered to watch Chuck Daigh win the very first race at Meadowdale International Raceway.

She could just imagine Greek letters over the door.\n\nIt looked deserted, but to be fair every house on the block looked deserted. Late afternoon, nobody home from work yet. A few cars glittered in the white-hot sunshine, finish softened by a layer of dirt. No cars in front of 716, though.\n\nThis was such a bad idea, she thought, and there were those tears again, bubbling up along with panic. What was she going to do?

No, it had been a dumb idea to even blow the money on cab fare.\n\nIt was hot, and she was tired and she hurt and she had homework due, and no place to sleep, and all of a sudden, it was just too much.\n\nClaire dropped her backpack, buried her bruised face in both hands, and just started sobbing like a baby. Crybaby freak, she imagined Monica saying, but that just made her sob harder, and all of a sudden the idea of going home, going home to Mom and Dad and the room she knew they'd kept open for her, seemed better, better than anything out here in the scary, crazy world\u2026\n\n\"Hey,\" a girl's voice said, and someone touched her on the elbow. \"Hey, are you okay?\"\n\nClaire yelped and jumped, landed hard on her strained ankle, and nearly toppled over. The girl who'd scared her reached out and grabbed her arm to steady her, looking genuinely scared herself. \"I'm sorry! God, I'm such a klutz. Look, are you okay?\"\n\nThe girl wasn't Monica, or Jen, or Gina, or anybody else she'd seen around the campus at TPU; this girl was way Goth. Not in a bad way\u2014she didn't have the sulky I'm-so-not-cool-I'm-cool attitude of most of the Goths Claire had known in school\u2014but the dyed-black, shag-cut hair, the pale makeup, the heavy eyeliner and mascara, the red-and-black-striped tights and clunky black shoes and black pleated miniskirt\u2026 very definitely a fan of the dark side.\n\n\"My name's Eve,\" the girl said, and smiled. It was a sweet, funny kind of smile, something that invited Claire to share in a private joke. \"Yeah, my parents really named me that, go figure. It's like they knew how I'd turn out.\" Her smile faded, and she took a good look at Claire's face. \"Wow. Jeez, nice black eye. Who hit you?\"\n\n\"Nobody.\" Claire said it instantly, without even thinking why, although she knew in her bones that Goth Eve was in no way bestest friends with preppy Monica. \"I had an accident.\"\n\n\"Yeah,\" Eve agreed softly. \"I used to have those kinds of accidents, falling into fists and stuff. Like I said, I'm a klutz. You okay? You need a doctor or something? I can drive you if you want.\"\n\nShe gestured to the street next to them, and Claire realized that while she'd been sobbing her eyes out, an ancient beater of a black Cadillac\u2014complete with tail fins\u2014had been docked at the curb. There was a cheery-looking skull dangling from the rearview mirror, and Claire had no doubt that the back bumper would be plastered with stickers for emo bands nobody had ever heard of.\n\nShe liked Eve already. \"No,\" she said, and swiped at her eyes angrily with the back of her hand. \"I, uh\u2014look, I'm sorry. It's been a really awful day. I was coming to ask about the room, but\u2014\"\n\n\"Right, the room!\" Eve snapped her fingers, as if she'd forgotten all about it, and jumped up and down two or three times in excitement. \"Great! I'm just home for break\u2014I work over at Common Grounds, you know, the coffee shop?\u2014and Michael won't be up for a while yet, but you can come in and see the house if you want. I don't know if Shane's around, but\u2014\"\n\n\"I don't know if I should\u2014\"\n\n\"You should. You totally should.\" Eve rolled her eyes. \"You wouldn't believe the losers we see trying to get in the door. I mean, seriously. Freaks. You're the first normal one I've seen so far. Michael would kick my ass if I let you get away without at least trying a sales pitch.\"\n\nClaire blinked. Somehow, she'd been thinking that she'd be the one begging for them to consider her\u2026 and normal? Eve thought she was normal?\n\n\"Sure,\" she heard herself say. \"Yeah. I'd like that.\"\n\nEve grabbed her backpack and slung it over her own shoulder, on top of her black silver-studded purse in the shape of a coffin. \"Follow me.\" And she bounced away, up the walk to the gracious Southern Gothic front porch to unlock the door.\n\nUp close, the house looked old, but not really run-down as such; weathered, Claire decided. Could have used some paint here and there, and the cast-iron chairs needed a coat, too. The front door was actually double-sized, with a big stained-glass panel at the top.\n\n\"Yo!\" Eve yelled, and dumped Claire's backpack on a table in the hallway, her purse next to it, her keys in an antique-looking ashtray with a cast-iron monkey on the handle. \"Roomies! We've got a live one!\"\n\nIt occurred to Claire, as the door boomed shut behind her, that there were a couple of ways to interpret that, and one of them\u2014the Texas Chainsaw Massacre way\u2014wasn't good. She stopped moving, frozen, and just looked around.\n\nNothing overtly creepy about the inside of the house, at least. Lots of wood, clean and simple. Chips of paint knocked off of corners, like it had seen a lot of life. It smelled like lemon polish and\u2014chili?\n\n\"Yo!\" Eve yelled again, and clumped on down the hall. It opened up to a bigger room; from what Claire could see, there were big leather couches and bookshelves, like a real home. Maybe this was what off-campus housing looked like. If so, it was a big step up from dorm life. \"Shane, I smell the chili. I know you're here! Get your headphones out of your ears!\"\n\nShe couldn't quite imagine Texas Chainsaw Massacre taking place in a room like that, either. That was a plus. Or, for that matter, serial-killing roommates doing something as homey as making chili. Good chili, from the way it smelled. With\u2026 garlic?\n\nShe took a couple of hesitant steps down the hallway. Eve's footsteps were clunking off into another room, maybe the kitchen. The house seemed very quiet. Nothing jumped out to scare her, so Claire proceeded, one careful foot after another, all the way into the big central room.\n\nAnd a guy lying sprawled on the couch\u2014the way only guys could sprawl\u2014yawned and sat up rubbing his head. When Claire opened her mouth\u2014whether to say hello or to yell for help, she didn't know\u2014he surprised her into silence by grinning at her and putting his finger over his mouth to shush her. \"Hey,\" he whispered. \"I'm Shane. What's up?\" He blinked a couple of times, and without any change in his expression, said, \"Dude, that is a badass shiner. Hurts, huh?\"\n\nShe nodded slightly. Shane swung his legs off the couch and sat there, watching her, elbows on his knees and hands dangling loosely. He had brown hair, cut in uneven layers that didn't quite manage to look punk. He was an older boy, older than her, anyway. Eighteen? A big guy, and tall to match it. Big enough to make her feel more miniature than usual. She thought his eyes looked brown, but she didn't dare meet them for more than a flicker at a time.\n\n\"So I guess you're gonna say that the other chick looks worse,\" Shane said.\n\nShe shook her head, then winced when motion made it hurt even more. \"No, I\u2014um\u2014how did you know it was\u2014?\"\n\n\"A chick? Easy. Size you are, a guy would have put you in the hospital with a punch hard enough to leave a mark like that. So what's up with that? You don't look like you go looking for trouble.\"\n\nShe felt like she ought to take offense about that, but honestly, this whole thing was starting to feel like some strange dream anyway. Maybe she'd never woken up at all.

Through meditation, we are taught not to focus on all the various passing thoughts which clog our mind. Meditation can teach individuals how to gain a clear state of mind. And through this, the secret of feeling real inner peace can be achieved.\n\nMeditation can also provide some health benefits. Numerous studies have shown some links between meditation and improved health. One of the health benefits that meditation provides is that it is a practical solution to combat stress. It is through stress that a lot of health problems may come from. By relieving stress though meditation people may be able to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart related diseases.\n\nThrough meditation, people may also be able to discover a real sense of who they are. Intelligence may be able to seek and discover the answer to many questions in the world. But the one question that asks who we really are always remains unanswered. In order to discover our real self, depending solely on the intellect may not be enough. We need to be aware of our own soul and we may need to go beyond the mind. Through meditation, people can become more aware of a spiritual essence in life. Discovering this would help us feel a new purpose in life.\n\nMeditation can help make our lives simpler. Life today consists of a lot of clutter and unwa! nted bag gage that we can actually live without but do not realize it. A troubled life can contain nothing but teeming problems and worries.

People can easily create minor conflicts with other people by bringing to light the minor faults of the other person. Fault-finding becomes a common source of unhappiness and division among people. Through meditation, people can develop the sense of giving minor thoughts lesser importance.

Most of the studies have asked pathological gamblers who are in treatment or recovery of some kind to make an estimate of what they cost society. The studies look at those social costs that are easier to quantify, such as employment costs, loss of work, bad debts, civil court costs, criminal justice costs, therapy, and welfare. The problem of this research approach is that people in treatment are not representative of the entire population of pathological gamblers.\n\nFor example, in the Wisconsin study, 92 of the 95 members of Gamblers Anonymous who responded to the survey were white. This contradicts what is found in prevalence surveys that show a larger incidence proportion among minorities. Another sign of the unrepresentative nature of these surveys is that 52 percent of those responding were married, again that is inconsistent with the prevalence surveys. The second problem with surveying for determining costs is that it requires accurate reporting by the individuals. These are individuals who clearly have some problems or else they would not be diagnosed with this disease. It isn't known how this problem may affect their reporting.\n\nNevertheless, the results are interesting and, even if not representative, illustrate the high costs of pathological gambling. The lifetime estimates of losses by each gambler ranged from as little as $100 to $20 million. The latter high figure was from gambling on the stock market and it included $8 million of embezzled funds. A study in Wisconsin shows that the social costs were about $8,600 per year per problem gambler, a figure that is on the low end of the range of available research.47 In Grinols and Omorov, a range of $15,000 to $33,500 per problem gambler per year is discussed from a survey of other studies.48 There are other studies showing different figures and some of the cost figures are much higher, up to $100,000 per pathological gambler.\n\nConsumer Sovereignty\n\nThe economic studies have tended to ignore a very important economic component. That component is what economists call consumer surplus, that is the benefit to people who want to gamble. Economists can and do use methods that attach a dollar value to that consumer surplus. Consumer surplus may sound like a theoretical tool that is not useful, but a simple example may help the reader see that it does exist.\n\nAssume an individual goes to the movies and is planning to pay the normal entrance fee of $7.00. Upon arriving the individual finds that entrance can be obtained at the matinee price of $4.00. The individual pays $4.00 but clearly the movie was worth more since the person was prepared to pay $7.00. Consumer surplus then is at least $3.00, the difference between the matinee price and the full price. At least, because maybe it was a movie the person really wanted to see and would have been willing to pay even more.\n\nThis concept of consumer surplus is especially relevant in valuing publicly-provided projects such as freeways where a toll is not collected. The value of the freeway can be established by estimating what people would be willing to pay.\n\nStudies also have Neglected the Incidence of Costs and Benefits. Those who are paying the costs are the compulsive gamblers and those whose lives are touched by them. The benefits go to those who enjoy gambling. Also, certain groups of taxpayers may not be well compensated. Typically, Indian gaming doesn't results in the tax revenues from the establishments. Local governments may have to provide services for which they are not paid for. The people who gain from this subsidy are the people who enjoy gambling and the Native Americans, not a small issue given their history of poverty and difficulty in fostering economic development on the reservation. Consistently it has been shown that the poor spend a greater portion of their wealth on gambling. It is still, however, a small amount and generally their gambling is not why they are poor.49\n\nBottom Line--Do Gaming Facilities Pay Their Way?\n\nA Chicago Sun-Times headline said it best:\n\n\"Studies of Gambling Deal Few Answers--Conclusions Elusive on Social, Economic Impact of Casinos.\"50\n\nThe article follows with a discussion and a conclusion that ultimately, a decision on how to weigh all the costs and benefits is essentially subjective and moral. How does one weigh a shattered life of a pathological gambler against new jobs for people whose only hope had been welfare?\n\nCalifornia-Nevada Gambling Relationship\n\nWith the discussion in this section of the economic success of an area being dependent on a place's ability to get out-of-region residents to gamble, it is fitting to discuss California and Nevada. To many observers, it is probably obvious and not worth discussing. The relationship is simple: California sends gamblers and Nevada receives them. A recent newspaper report gives an idea of how most people view the relationship:\n\n\"But there is something vaguely parasitical about Nevadans, who try their damnedest to suck money from Californians.\"51\n\nWith California exporting so much money to Nevada, there are obvious questions as to what might happen if California made gambling legal. A report by the Governor's Office of Planning and Research estimated that it would increase net income in California by about $1.5 billion.52 Any estimate would have to be speculative as nobody knows how attached Californians are to going to Tahoe or Las Vegas. Also, if a California casino was developed it would allow more types of games to be offered in Indian casinos. What effect that might have on gambling behavior and where the dollar is spent is uncertain. Nevertheless, it is possible that California would bear added social costs such as those arising from the pathological gambler if casinos are legalized.\n\nAn interesting point to ponder is that California may gain from having the gambling center of North America so near its borders. Although Californians drop a large amount of money in the neighboring state, Nevada orders goods and services from California and California workers bring money or send remittances from Nevada. Nevada orders could never cancel out California spending alone, but when one considers the gambling activity of all the other visitors and all of the orders it generates, that could well be a net plus for California.\n\nReturn to the Return to the Table of Contents<|endoftext|>T-scores, Table, Tag tansey, Tags, Taiwan, Take pleasure in, Taken, Taken advantage of, Tale, Talented education, Talk, Talks about, Tallulah, Tansey, Tap dance, Target-market, Task, Tata group, Taufer, Tax, Taxation, Taxation-in-the-united-states, Taxes, Taylor, Taylor fritsch 2011, Taylor swift fritsch, Teacher, Teachers, Team, Team members, Technique, Techniques, Technology, Teen, Teenage years, Teenager, Teenagers, Teenagers today, Telecom, Telegraphy, Television, Television set, Television show, Television-program, Temperature, Tendencies, Tendencies impact, Term, Termes conseilles personality disorder, Terminology, Terms, Terms pages, Terrible wolf, Territories, Terrorism, Terrorists, Tesco, Tesla, Tesla engines, Tesla roadster, Test, Test out, Test pipe drops, Test tube, Tested, Testing, Tests, Tetrachloroethylene, Text, Text message text, Text text message text, Textual content, Thai red cross society, Thailand, That they, The, The african continent, The aging process population, The autobiography of benjamin franklin, The canterville ghost, The champions, The child years, The coca-cola firm, The composer, The courtroom, The english language, The english language speaking canadians, The fall of, The french language, The french language english, The hershey business, The history of middle-earth, The hypothesis, The majority of, The phantom tollbooth, The planet, The plug drug, The reds, The requirements, The united kingdom france, The youngster, The-crucible, The-fall-of-the-house-of-usher, The-great-gatsby, The-raven, The-reader, The-rolling-stones, The-white-mans-burden, Their, Their children, Their employees, Their groupe, Their particular, Their products, Their time-table, Their very own, Their work, Them, Theme, Themselves, Then, Then simply, Theodore-roosevelt, Theories, Theory, Theory-of-multiple-intelligences, There, Therefor, These, These aids, These kinds of, These people, These types of, Thesis, They, They will, Thick, Thing, Things, Things to consider, Things-fall-apart, Thingy, Think, Thinking, Third person, This, This course, This edition, This group, This guide, This kind of, This kind of assignment, This kind of stage, This period, This report, This study, This summer, Thomas-jefferson, Thought, Thoughts, Three kingdoms, Throw-away, Throwing, Thrush, Thucydides, Thucydides machiavelli, Tidd, Tidd 2000, Tier, Tiers clothes, Timber witch craft, Time, Time series, Time series research, Time-management, Times, Timmons, Timmons model, Tiny, Tips, Tire, Tires, Title, Titoy, Tjurunga, To the south, Toast chicken,", "base_doc": " the tax burden is the entire expenditure for the entertainment, not the small portion that it really is.\n\nSocial Costs\n\n\nAny Attempt to Quantify Social Costs is Highly Speculative.

It is usually the result of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) or a hard blow to your abdomen.\n\nPseudo means \u201cfalse.\u201d A pseudocyst is shaped like a cyst but is made from different kinds of tissue than a true cyst. A true cyst is more likely to be cancerous than a pseudocyst.\n\nA pancreatic pseudocyst is usually not dangerous unless it ruptures. A ruptured pancreatic pseudocyst, on the other hand, is a life-threatening condition. If you experience any of the following symptoms, go to an emergency room, or call 911:\n\n \u2022 high, persistent fever\n \u2022 severe pain in your upper stomach, with pain radiating to your back\n \u2022 fainting\n \u2022 vomiting blood\n \u2022 weak, rapid heartbeat\n\nPay especially close attention to these symptoms if you have pancreatitis in your personal or family medical history.\n\nWhat Causes a Pancreatic Pseudocyst?\n\nPancreatic pseudocysts most often follow a bout of pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is a serious and painful condition in which pancreatic enzymes, which help you digest fats and sugars, overreact and begin to digest the tissues of the pancreas itself.\n\nThis can cause swelling, bleeding, and damage to the tissues and blood vessels in the pancreas. Cysts typically form when the ducts that carry pancreatic juices to the intestine become blocked.\n\nThere are two types of pancreatitis: acute and chronic. Acute pancreatitis is sudden and can go away without treatment. Chronic pancreatitis resists treatment.\n\nCauses of Pancreatitis\n\nWhile pancreatitis may be a complication of surgery or caused by certain autoimmune disorders, alcoholism is the most common cause for this condition.\n\nAccording to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, 70 percent of pancreatitis cases in the U.S. are caused by alcoholism or alcohol abuse (NCBI, 2010).\n\nAdditionally, alcoholism can raise the level of certain fats (triglycerides) in your bloodstream. Your pancreas helps your body digest fats, but it can become damaged if there is too much fat to process.\n\nYour triglyceride level can also be higher-than-normal because of too much fat and cholesterol in your diet, or because you have diabetes or kidney disease.\n\nPancreatitis can also be caused by gallstones. These are pebble-like deposits that develop in the gallbladder, a small organ located near the pancreas that stores bile produced in the liver.\n\nGallstones may be very small, or can grow as large as a golf ball. In some cases, they may block the ducts that drain the pancreas, causing pancreatitis to develop.\n\nWhat are the symptoms of pancreatic cysts?\n\nThe symptoms of pancreatic cysts depend on their size and location. Small (less than two cm) cysts usually cause no symptoms.\n\nLarge pancreatic cysts can cause abdominal pain and back pain presumably by exerting pressure on the surrounding tissues and nerves.\n\nSmall or large cysts in the head of the pancreas also may cause jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes with darkening of the urine) due to obstruction of the common bile duct.\n\n(Obstruction causes bile to back up and forces bilirubin\u2013the chemical that produces jaundice\u2013back into the bloodstream and forces it to be excreted in the urine.)\n\nIf the cysts become infected, it may result in fever, chills, and sepsis.\n\nOn rare occasions, large pseudocysts can compress the stomach or the duodenum leading to obstruction to the movement of food in the intestines, resulting in abdominal pain and vomiting.\n\nIf a cyst becomes malignant and begins to invade the surrounding tissues, it may lead to the same type of pain as pancreatic cancer, pain that usually is constant and felt in the back and upper abdomen.\n\nHow are pancreatic cysts diagnosed?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring endoscopic ultrasound, fluid from cysts and samples of tissue also can be obtained by passing special needles through the endoscope and into the cysts.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe risks of endoscopic ultrasound and fine needle aspiration are small and consist of a very small incidence of bleeding and infection.\n\nOccasionally, it is difficult even with the diagnostic tools of endoscopic ultrasound and fine needle aspiration to determine if a pancreatic cyst is cancerous or precancerous.\n\nIf the answer is not clear, sometimes repeated endoscopic ultrasound and aspiration are done if the suspicion for cancer or precancer is high.\n\nIn other cases, the cyst is reexamined by CT, MRI, or even endoscopic ultrasound after a few months to detect changes that more strongly suggest that cancer has developed. In still others, surgery is recommended.\n\nWhat Treatments Are Available?\n\nIf your doctor determines that you have a pseudocyst, but you don\u2019t have any symptoms, he or she may suggest you wait to see if the cyst goes away on its own.\n\nThe growth or shrinking of the cyst can be monitored with regular imaging tests.\n\nWhen a pseudocyst is pressing on other organs, it should be drained to reduce its size. It should also be drained if it\u2019s grown so large that it could rupture.\n\nDrainage requires surgery under general anesthesia, meaning that you will be asleep and pain-free during the procedure.\n\nSurgery involves making a very small incision to drain the pseudocyst with a needle guided by ultrasound or an endoscopic camera.\n\nAlternatively, the doctor might make a larger incision to view the pseudocyst directly.\n\nThe contents of the pseudocyst will be drained or suctioned out. A sample of the contents will be sent to a lab to test for infections and signs of cancer.\n\nYou will be prescribed antibiotics even if you don\u2019t have an infection, to make sure one doesn\u2019t develop.\n\nWhat Is the Outlook for Someone With a Pancreatic Pseudocyst?\n\nThe outlook for someone who has a pseudocyst is usually good, as long as there is no chance of rupture.

It is usually the result of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) or a hard blow to your abdomen.\n\nPseudo means \u201cfalse.\u201d A pseudocyst is shaped like a cyst but is made from different kinds of tissue than a true cyst. A true cyst is more likely to be cancerous than a pseudocyst.\n\nA pancreatic pseudocyst is usually not dangerous unless it ruptures. A ruptured pancreatic pseudocyst, on the other hand, is a life-threatening condition. If you experience any of the following symptoms, go to an emergency room, or call 911:\n\n \u2022 high, persistent fever\n \u2022 severe pain in your upper stomach, with pain radiating to your back\n \u2022 fainting\n \u2022 vomiting blood\n \u2022 weak, rapid heartbeat\n\nPay especially close attention to these symptoms if you have pancreatitis in your personal or family medical history.\n\nWhat Causes a Pancreatic Pseudocyst?\n\nPancreatic pseudocysts most often follow a bout of pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is a serious and painful condition in which pancreatic enzymes, which help you digest fats and sugars, overreact and begin to digest the tissues of the pancreas itself.\n\nThis can cause swelling, bleeding, and damage to the tissues and blood vessels in the pancreas. Cysts typically form when the ducts that carry pancreatic juices to the intestine become blocked.\n\nThere are two types of pancreatitis: acute and chronic. Acute pancreatitis is sudden and can go away without treatment. Chronic pancreatitis resists treatment.\n\nCauses of Pancreatitis\n\nWhile pancreatitis may be a complication of surgery or caused by certain autoimmune disorders, alcoholism is the most common cause for this condition.\n\nAccording to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, 70 percent of pancreatitis cases in the U.S. are caused by alcoholism or alcohol abuse (NCBI, 2010).\n\nAdditionally, alcoholism can raise the level of certain fats (triglycerides) in your bloodstream. Your pancreas helps your body digest fats, but it can become damaged if there is too much fat to process.\n\nYour triglyceride level can also be higher-than-normal because of too much fat and cholesterol in your diet, or because you have diabetes or kidney disease.\n\nPancreatitis can also be caused by gallstones. These are pebble-like deposits that develop in the gallbladder, a small organ located near the pancreas that stores bile produced in the liver.\n\nGallstones may be very small, or can grow as large as a golf ball. In some cases, they may block the ducts that drain the pancreas, causing pancreatitis to develop.\n\nWhat are the symptoms of pancreatic cysts?\n\nThe symptoms of pancreatic cysts depend on their size and location. Small (less than two cm) cysts usually cause no symptoms.\n\nLarge pancreatic cysts can cause abdominal pain and back pain presumably by exerting pressure on the surrounding tissues and nerves.\n\nSmall or large cysts in the head of the pancreas also may cause jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes with darkening of the urine) due to obstruction of the common bile duct.\n\n(Obstruction causes bile to back up and forces bilirubin\u2013the chemical that produces jaundice\u2013back into the bloodstream and forces it to be excreted in the urine.)\n\nIf the cysts become infected, it may result in fever, chills, and sepsis.\n\nOn rare occasions, large pseudocysts can compress the stomach or the duodenum leading to obstruction to the movement of food in the intestines, resulting in abdominal pain and vomiting.\n\nIf a cyst becomes malignant and begins to invade the surrounding tissues, it may lead to the same type of pain as pancreatic cancer, pain that usually is constant and felt in the back and upper abdomen.\n\nHow are pancreatic cysts diagnosed?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring endoscopic ultrasound, fluid from cysts and samples of tissue also can be obtained by passing special needles through the endoscope and into the cysts.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe risks of endoscopic ultrasound and fine needle aspiration are small and consist of a very small incidence of bleeding and infection.\n\nOccasionally, it is difficult even with the diagnostic tools of endoscopic ultrasound and fine needle aspiration to determine if a pancreatic cyst is cancerous or precancerous.\n\nIf the answer is not clear, sometimes repeated endoscopic ultrasound and aspiration are done if the suspicion for cancer or precancer is high.\n\nIn other cases, the cyst is reexamined by CT, MRI, or even endoscopic ultrasound after a few months to detect changes that more strongly suggest that cancer has developed. In still others, surgery is recommended.\n\nWhat Treatments Are Available?\n\nIf your doctor determines that you have a pseudocyst, but you don\u2019t have any symptoms, he or she may suggest you wait to see if the cyst goes away on its own.\n\nThe growth or shrinking of the cyst can be monitored with regular imaging tests.\n\nWhen a pseudocyst is pressing on other organs, it should be drained to reduce its size. It should also be drained if it\u2019s grown so large that it could rupture.\n\nDrainage requires surgery under general anesthesia, meaning that you will be asleep and pain-free during the procedure.\n\nSurgery involves making a very small incision to drain the pseudocyst with a needle guided by ultrasound or an endoscopic camera.\n\nAlternatively, the doctor might make a larger incision to view the pseudocyst directly.\n\nThe contents of the pseudocyst will be drained or suctioned out. A sample of the contents will be sent to a lab to test for infections and signs of cancer.\n\nYou will be prescribed antibiotics even if you don\u2019t have an infection, to make sure one doesn\u2019t develop.\n\nWhat Is the Outlook for Someone With a Pancreatic Pseudocyst?\n\nThe outlook for someone who has a pseudocyst is usually good, as long as there is no chance of rupture. Surgery to drain pseudocysts has a high recovery rate.\n\nWhat Can I Do to Prevent a Pancreatic Pseudcyst?\n\nPancreatitis is the most common cause of pseudocysts, so preventing pancreatitis is the best way to prevent cysts from forming.\n\nIf you drink alcohol regularly or are an alcoholic, consider stopping or seeking out treatment for addiction, especially if you have a family history of alcoholism or pancreatitis.\n\nA diet low in carbohydrates and cholesterol, and consisting of fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, and lean protein, can lower your triglycerides and help prevent the development of pseudocy", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 319150, "pt_loc": 144779309, "pt_shuffle_idx": 23446596, "doc_index_f": 36757116, "doc_index_l": 36757118, "offset_f": 9764, "offset_l": 1411, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 16, "pt_injection_len": 21, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [350, 287, 1412]} +{"pt_doc": "olic fraction (MEKC) about proteinuria, glucosuria, and some additional biochemical guidelines in adriamycin-induced renal impairment in rats. and potassium levels.

Regular treatment includes dental enzyme transformation inhibitors such as for example losartan.

(Crassulaceae) AZD8931 can be a herbaceous vegetable used in traditional western regions of Cameroon as an AZD8931 antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory medication.[8,9] Adriamycin continues to be utilized to induce nephropathic toxicity in rats in a number of research.[10,11] Today\u2019s work was therefore undertaken to measure the aftereffect of the methanolic fraction of on adriamycin-induced nephropathy in rats. Components and Methods The complete vegetable of was gathered from Batie (Western Cameroon) in January and March and was determined by the Country wide Herbarium of Yaounde (Cameroon) where in fact the voucher specimen (50103/YA) was held. The materials was washed, shade-dried, and powdered. The natural powder of (2 kg) was macerated in 10 L of methanol for 72 h at space temperature. Removal of the solvent from the extract under reduced pressure yielded 113.6 g (5.68%) of a dark green residue. This residue was dissolved in hexane to remove its hydro-insoluble compounds. The final residue (insoluble in hexane) constituted the methanol fraction of (MEKC). The extract yielded 41.8 g (2.09%). Prior to the administration, the extract was dissolved in distilled water. Preliminary Phytochemical TestsPhytochemical AZD8931 constituents of the methanolic fraction of were determined by standard methods using various reagents.[12] This included Mayer and Dragendoff\u2019s reagents for alkaloids, FeCl3 for tannin, frothing test for saponin, magnesium turning and Hcl for flavonoids, NaCl and Fehling\u2019s solutions for glycoside, diethyl ether, sulphuric acid and anhydride acetic for steroids, ether-chloroform and NaOH for anthraquinones, and FeCl3 and K3Fe(CN)6 for phenols and polyphenols. Acute Toxicity EvaluationThe MEKC was tested for its acute toxicity in mice. Five groups of six mice each were administered orally one of the different doses of the extract: 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 g/kg body weight. Control group received only vehicle (water). Animals were observed continuously for initial 2 h, intermittently for the next 6 h, and then at 24 h and 48 h following drug administration for death and overt behavior: lethargy, jerkiness, sensitivity to noise and touch, and respiratory rate. The lethal dose Tmem140 50 (LD50) was determined with the following formulae.[13] LD50 = Xs C d (Sp \u2013 ?)

Fourteen days after surgery the weight of the plantaris muscle per body weight increased by 8% 22 32 and 45% in the WK MO MI and ST groups respectively. Five days after surgery 18 rRNA content (an indicator of translational capacity) increased with increasing overload with increases of 1 1.8-fold (MO) 2.2 (MI) and 2.5-fold (ST) respectively relative to non-overloaded muscle (NL) in the WK group. rRNA content showed a strong correlation with relative muscle weight measured 14 days after surgery (r = 0.98). The phosphorylated form of p70S6K (a positive regulator of translational efficiency) showed a marked increase in the MO group but no further increase was observed with further increase in overload (increases of 22.6-fold (MO) 17.4 (MI) and 18.2-fold (ST) respectively relative to NL in the WK group). These results indicate that increases in ribosome biogenesis at the early phase of overloading are strongly dependent on the amount of overloading and may play an important role in increasing the translational capacity for further gain of muscular size. Introduction In skeletal muscle it is generally known that the increase of muscle mass subsequent to application of an external load is achieved by the accumulation of increasing of protein synthesis [1]. Among the processes involved in AZD8931 protein synthesis protein translation has a central role in determining the amount of protein synthesized. To ascertain the IL1-ALPHA part played by translation in overload and/or exercise-induced muscle hypertrophy contributions of the capacity and efficiency of translation must be considered [2]. Both processes have been thought to be important in AZD8931 the exercise-induced increase in protein synthesis. However most studies have focused on the mechanisms controlling translational efficiency (e.g. ribosome activation AZD8931 through the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) C1 signaling pathway [3 4 and not on the contribution of \u201ctranslational capacity\u201d. Translational capacity is determined by the amount of \u201ctranslational machinery\u201d per unit volume of cells: ribosome numbers transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) molecules and translational factors. All three factors are important but the number of ribosomes present in the cell has been thought to be a primary determinant of translational capacity [5]. Therefore ribosome biogenesis may have an essential role in the control of protein synthesis and cell growth [6 7 Involvement of ribosome biogenesis has been shown in the growth of cardiac muscle [5 8 but little is known about the contribution of ribosome biogenesis to hypertrophy of skeletal muscle. Recently some studies have shown increased ribosome content in skeletal muscle hypertrophied by synergist ablation in rats [11-15] and in human skeletal muscle after resistance-exercise training [16]. However whether a quantitative relationship exists between the external loads applied to the muscle and ribosome biogenesis is not known. \u201cTranslational efficiency\u201d is defined as the rate of protein synthesis per ribosome and is limited mainly by the initiation step of translation. Baar and Esser reported a strong positive correlation between phosphorylation-induced activation of p70S6K (an initiator of translation) and the magnitude of hypertrophy in muscles subjected to mechanical loading [17]. Therefore p70S6K could be the main regulator of the mass of skeletal muscle. However more recent studies have shown weak or no correlation between p70s6k phosphorylation and the magnitude of AZD8931 muscle hypertrophy [18-20]. Thus our aims were: (i) to establish an animal model of muscle hypertrophy in which the magnitude of hypertrophy can be controlled in a stepwise manner; and (ii) to ascertain if the magnitude of muscle hypertrophy is correlated with ribosome biogenesis and/or p70S6K activation in the early phase of overloading. AZD8931 Materials and Methods Animals Sixty-four male Wistar rats (11 weeks; 330 g) were purchased from CLEA Japan (Tokyo Japan). They were housed in individual cages at regulated temperature (22\u00b0C) humidity (60%) and illumination cycles (12-h light and 12-h dark). They were allowed to eat commercial rat chow (CE2; CLEA Japan) and drink water for 15 min at 4\u00b0C and supernatants collected.

Officers could hear an active disturbance inside the subject's apartment when they arrived on the scene.\u00a0\n\nWhen officers went to make contact, they could hear a male subject inside who threatened to shoot officers if they entered the apartment. After hearing that, officers reported hearing what sounded like a firearm being loaded inside the apartment.\u00a0\n\nThis led officers to contain the area and to treat the incident as a barricaded subject call. The SWAT team was called to the scene.\n\nThe SWAT team and hostage negotiators attempted to make contact with the man inside.

Find out what\u2019s behind the terminology used in grading tea?\n\n\nBefore the tea that makes your daily cup gets even close to the teabag or caddy, all kinds of sorting and grading has to happen.\u00a0This is because when tea emerges from the drying machines at the end of the manufacturing process, it consists of a mixture of different sized pieces of leaf - all of which brew at different rates.\n\nSo to ensure an even brew, these particles must be sorted into different grades (or sizes). This is done either by hand or by passing the leaves though sifters with graduated mesh sizes to separate them out.\n\nThe resulting piles of tea are then classified according to size, type and appearance.\n\n\nClassification systems vary from country to country. In China, teas are named by region, the time of year when the tea was picked, the method of manufacture, the leaf type used or the mystical legend behind the tea's origins.\u00a0\n\nFor example - Chun Mee means Precious Eyebrows, inspired by the gently curved shape of the dried green leaves. Jiqu Wulong means Nine-Bend Stream Black Dragon. And Rose Congou refers to black tea skilfully made by hand and blended with dried pink rose petals.\n\n\nFrom black to white and green, within each tea variety, grading terminology is based on quality. Words such as 'special' for the finest and 'common' for the lowest grade are used, with grades 1-7 in between. Oolong teas have their own special classification and are given names such as 'choicest', 'finest fine' and 'extra fancy'. In Taiwan, the even more grammatically idiosyncratic - 'fully superior', 'fine to finest' and 'fully good' grade the oolongs. While in Japan, green teas are described as 'good common', 'finest fine' and 'extra choicest'.\n\nTraditional tea producing countries, such as India and Sri Lanka, is where you'll find the orthodox manufacturing method for black teas. Grading terms divide the leaf into 'leaf' grades and 'broken' leaf grades - with broken leaf grades referring to what is left after the larger leaf grades have been sifted out.\n\nIn Africa, and other countries that manufacture black tea for teabags, they use the Crush, Tear and Curl (CTC) method - a further system of grading terminology. It's designed to differentiate the much smaller, grainy particles known as 'fannings'.\n\nThese extremely small pieces of tea - sometimes called 'dusts', are left over after higher quality grades of tea such as the orange pekoe are gathered and sold. Traditionally, fannings were treated as the rejects of the manufacturing process. But in the last century they've experienced a huge demand in the developing world, mainly because they are cheap and produce a very strong brew - so a little goes a long way.\n\nOur new\u00a0Everyday Tea\u00a0really makes the grade. \u00a0This special blend combines a traditionally strong base", "base_doc": "substantial risk of wanton and unnecessary pain.\u201d\n\nMost U.S. states carry out the death penalty by injecting inmates first with sodium pentathol, a fast-acting barbiturate that knocks prisoners unconscious.

This is done either by hand or by passing the leaves though sifters with graduated mesh sizes to separate them out.\n\nThe resulting piles of tea are then classified according to size, type and appearance.\n\n\nClassification systems vary from country to country. In China, teas are named by region, the time of year when the tea was picked, the method of manufacture, the leaf type used or the mystical legend behind the tea's origins.\u00a0\n\nFor example - Chun Mee means Precious Eyebrows, inspired by the gently curved shape of the dried green leaves. Jiqu Wulong means Nine-Bend Stream Black Dragon. And Rose Congou refers to black tea skilfully made by hand and blended with dried pink rose petals.\n\n\nFrom black to white and green, within each tea variety, grading terminology is based on quality. Words such as 'special' for the finest and 'common' for the lowest grade are used, with grades 1-7 in between. Oolong teas have their own special classification and are given names such as 'choicest', 'finest fine' and 'extra fancy'. In Taiwan, the even more grammatically idiosyncratic - 'fully superior', 'fine to finest' and 'fully good' grade the oolongs. While in Japan, green teas are described as 'good common', 'finest fine' and 'extra choicest'.\n\nTraditional tea producing countries, such as India and Sri Lanka, is where you'll find the orthodox manufacturing method for black teas. Grading terms divide the leaf into 'leaf' grades and 'broken' leaf grades - with broken leaf grades referring to what is left after the larger leaf grades have been sifted out.\n\nIn Africa, and other countries that manufacture black tea for teabags, they use the Crush, Tear and Curl (CTC) method - a further system of grading terminology. It's designed to differentiate the much smaller, grainy particles known as 'fannings'.\n\nThese extremely small pieces of tea - sometimes called 'dusts', are left over after higher quality grades of tea such as the orange pekoe are gathered and sold. Traditionally, fannings were treated as the rejects of the manufacturing process. But in the last century they've experienced a huge demand in the developing world, mainly because they are cheap and produce a very strong brew - so a little goes a long way.\n\nOur new\u00a0Everyday Tea\u00a0really makes the grade. \u00a0This special blend combines a traditionally strong base of African and Indonesian teas, with the rich, malty taste of Assam.", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 324058, "pt_loc": 194847927, "pt_shuffle_idx": 211945743, "doc_index_f": 332242068, "doc_index_l": 332242070, "offset_f": 1192, "offset_l": 694, "pt_injection_pos": 2, "pt_window_offset": 7, "pt_injection_len": 25, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [349, 1005, 695]} +{"pt_doc": "The woman decided to make more jelly than jam because the jelly was very popular.<|endoftext|>\n\n\u201cShe\u2019s putting up some announcements \ufb01rst thing in the morn\u00ading.

It was different at school, where the boys spoke of the \ufb01eld trip as a thrilling event, and none of the teachers opposed their excitement. \u201cDo you know the bad man in the announcement?\u201d Tong asked Old Hua.\n\n\u201cGo and look,\u201d Old Hua said and pointed down the street. \u201cCome back and tell me what you think.\u201d\n\nAt the end of the street Tong saw a newly pasted announcement, the two bottom corners already coming loose in the wind. He found a rickety chair in front of a yard and dragged it over and climbed up, but still he was not tall enough, even on tiptoes, to reach the bottom of the paper. He gave up and let the corners \ufb02ap on their own.\n\nThe light from the streetlamps was weak, but the eastern sky had taken on a hue of bluish white like that of an upturned \ufb01sh belly. Tong read the announcement aloud, skipping the words he did not know how to pronounce but guessing their meanings without much trouble:\nCounterrevolutionary Gu Shan, female, twenty-eight, was\nsentenced to death, with all political rights deprived. The\nexecution will be carried out on the twenty-\ufb01rst of March,\nnineteen seventy-nine. For educational purposes, all schools\nand work units are required to attend the pre-execution\ndenunciation ceremony.\nAt the bottom of the announcement was a signature, two out of three of whose characters Tong did not recognize. A huge check in red ink covered the entire announcement.\n\n\u201cYou understand the announcement all right?\u201d asked the old man, when Tong found him at another bin.\n\n\n\u201cDoes it say it\u2019s a woman?\u201d\n\n\n\u201cShe is very young, isn\u2019t she?\u201d\n\nTwenty-eight was not an age that Tong could imagine as young. At school he had been taught stories about young heroes. A shepherd boy, seven and a half years old, not much older than Tong, led the Japanese invaders to the mine\ufb01eld when they asked him for directions, and he died along with the enemies. Another boy, at thirteen, protected the property of the people\u2019s commune from robbery and was murdered by the thief. Liu Hulan, at \ufb01fteen and a half, was executed by the White Army as the youngest Communist Party member of her province, and before she was beheaded, she was reported to have sneered at the executioners and said, \u201cShe who works for Communism does not fear death.\u201d The oldest heroine he knew of was a Soviet girl named Zoya; at nineteen she was hanged by the German Fascists, but nineteen was long enough for the life of a heroine.\n\n\u201cTwenty-eight is too early for a woman to die,\u201d Old Hua said.\n\n\u201cLiu Hulan sacri\ufb01ced her life for the Communist cause at \ufb01f\u00adteen,\u201d replied Tong.\n\n\u201cYoung children should think about living, not about sacri\ufb01c\u00ading,\u201d Old Hua said. \u201cIt\u2019s up to us old people to ponder death.\u201d\n\nTong found that he didn\u2019t agree with the old man, but he did not want to say so. He smiled uncertainly, and was glad to see Ear trot back, eager to go on their morning exploration.\n\nEven the tiniest noise could wake up a hungry and cold soul: the faint bark of a dog, a low cough from a neighbor\u2019s bedroom, footsteps in the alley that transformed into thunder in Nini\u2019s dreams while leaving others undisturbed, her father\u2019s snore. With her good hand, Nini wrapped the thin quilt around herself, but hard as she tried, there was always part of her body exposed to the freezing air. With the limited supply of coal the family had, the \ufb01re went out every night in the stove under the brick bed, and sleeping farthest from the stove, Nini had felt the coldness seeping into her body through the thin cotton mattress and the layers of old clothes she did not take off at bedtime. Her parents slept at the other end, where the stove, directly underneath them, would keep them warm for the longest time. In the middle were her four younger sisters, aged ten, eight, \ufb01ve, and three, huddled in two pairs to keep each other warm. The only other person awake was the baby, who, like Nini, had no one to cuddle with for the night and who now was fumbling for their mother\u2019s breast.\n\nNini got out of bed and slipped into an oversize cotton coat, in which she could easily hide her deformed hand. The baby followed Nini\u2019s movement with bright, expressionless eyes, and then, frustrated by her futile effort, bit with her newly formed teeth. Their mother screamed, and slapped the baby without opening her eyes. \u201cYou debt collector. Eat. Eat. Eat. All you know is eating. Were you starved to death in your last life?\u201d\n\nThe baby howled. Nini frowned. For hungry people like the baby and Nini herself, morning always came too early. Sometimes she huddled with the baby when they were both awake, and the baby would mistake her for their mother and bump her heavy head into Nini\u2019s chest; those moments made Nini feel special, and for this reason she felt close to the baby and responsible for all that the baby could not get from their mother.\n\nNini limped over to the baby. She picked her up and hushed her, sticking a \ufb01nger into the baby\u2019s mouth and feeling her new, beadlike teeth. Except for Nini\u2019s \ufb01rst and second sisters, who went to elementary school now, the rest of the girls, like Nini herself, did not have of\ufb01cial names. Her parents had not even bothered to give the younger girls nicknames, as they did to Nini; they were simply called \u201cLittle Fourth,\u201d \u201cLittle Fifth,\u201d and, the baby, \u201cLittle Sixth.\u201d\n\nThe baby sucked Nini\u2019s \ufb01nger hard, but after a while, unsatis\ufb01ed, she let go of the \ufb01nger and started to cry. Their mother opened her eyes. \u201cCan\u2019t you both be dead for a moment?\u201d\n\nNini shuf\ufb02ed Little Sixth back to bed and \ufb02ed before her father woke up. In the front room Nini grabbed the bamboo basket for collecting coal and stumbled on a pair of boots. A few steps into the alley, she could still hear the baby\u2019s crying. Someone banged on the window and protested. Nini tried to quicken her steps, her crippled left leg making bigger circles than usual, and the basket, hung by the rope to her shoulder, slapped on her hip with a disturbed rhythm.\n\nAt the end of the alley Nini saw an announcement on the wall. She walked closer and looked at the huge red check. She did not recognize a single character on the announcement\u2013her parents had long ago made it clear that for an invalid like her, education was a waste of money\u2013but she knew by the smell that the paste used to glue the announcement to the wall was made of \ufb02our. Her stomach grumbled. She looked around for a step stool or some bricks; \ufb01nding none, she set the basket on the ground with its bottom up and stepped onto it. The bottom sagged but did not give way under her weight. She reached a corner of the announcement with her good hand and peeled it off the wall. The \ufb02our paste had not dried or frozen yet, and Nini scraped the paste off the announcement and stuffed all \ufb01ve \ufb01ngers into her mouth. The paste was cold but sweet. She scraped more of it off the announcement. She was sucking her \ufb01ngers when a feral cat pounced off a wall and stopped a few feet away, examining her with silent menace. She hurried down from the basket, almost falling onto her bad foot, and sending the cat scurrying away.\n\nAt the next street corner Nini caught up with Mrs. Hua, who was brushing paste on the four corners of an announcement when the girl walked up.\n\n\u201cGood morning,\u201d the old woman said.\n\nNini looked at the small basin of paste without replying. Some\u00adtimes she greeted Mrs. Hua nicely, but when she was in a bad mood, which happened often, she sucked the inside of her mouth hard so that no one could make her talk. Today was one of those days\u2013 Little Sixth had caused trouble again. Of all the people in the world, Nini loved Little Sixth best, yet this love, a heavy knot in her stomach, as Nini sometimes felt it, could not alleviate her hunger.\n\n\u201cDid you have a good sleep?\u201d\n\nNini did not reply. How did Mrs. Hua expect her to sleep well when she was always starving? The few mouthfuls of paste had already vanished, and the slight sweet taste in her mouth made her hungrier.\n\nThe old woman took a leftover bun from her pocket, something she made sure to bring along every morning in case she saw Nini, though the girl", "base_doc": "\n\n\u201cShe\u2019s putting up some announcements \ufb01rst thing in the morn\u00ading.

I think I set it off with a post about the Brock Turner rape case along the lines of my post earlier. Then the commenter went through and vindictively removed every single comment I had made that way no matter what I said.\n\nI have a hard time imaging a liberal man being so emotional, but liberal-Left \u201cmen\u201d are hardly even real men anymore. They\u2019re humans with male bodies who think and feel like women. They\u2019re actually much worse than women themselves because at least women and nice to look, you can fuck them, and the sensible ones can be quite a bit of fun. There\u2019s no benefit to the male feminist at all. He\u2019s a pussy, a cuck and a gender traitor all at once. Hang \u2019em high!\n\nOn the other hand it may well have been a woman because that emo vindictiveness \u2013 removing every post I made just to be a cunt \u2013 is classic female behavior. An enraged woman is as good as blind. And the last time I got banned was for criticizing the Epstein case and calling the \u201cvictims\u201d things like \u201clittle teen whores\u201d which is precisely what those junior strumpets were.\n\nModerator is probably a feminist woman.\n\nI\u2019m trying real hard to decide who I hate more \u2013 American conservatives or American liberals. I really want to like the liberals because I basically am one from back before the movement got body-snatched, but they keep punching me in the face! And you hit a man enough times, and he might just start hitting back, you know. That\u2019s just human nature.\n\nConservatives are fairly friendly but American conservatives are like\u2026let me think of a good description\u2026\u201dretarded howling apes on PCP.\u201d How\u2019s that?\n\nBlocked you, jackass. If you can\u2019t figure out that \u201cfinger-banging\u201d a woman when she has passed out and thus cannot give consent is rape, I don\u2019t know what to say.\n\nI never said he didn\u2019t rape her. I just said it was difficult case. This guy is a flaming SJW faggot with his gay rainbow colors flying high for everyone to see and cheer on his glorious career in sodomy. I\u2019m not against gay men if they were born that; in fact, I cheer them on. But I really hate SJW fags. They\u2019re as bad as feminists or BLM or any of the rest of the Cultural Left scum.\n\nA friend of mine is a bit of an Alt Left gay man. He\u2019s my age. He calls himself a conservative but he\u2019s actually a Marxist! He\u2019s just a conservative Left type like me, left on economics but somewhat right on social issues. He calls these types \u201cgay libbers\u201d the old name for gay liberationists, the first name of the pro-gay movement in the West.\n\nHe also hates faggoty pride parades and all the rest of the in your face Gay IP disgusting nonsense. He says, \u201cWe gays all just need to get married and move to the suburbs and live just like all the regular normal people there.\u201d\n\nI cannot agree more with that statement.\n\nThe Insanity of the SJW War on Tulsi Gabbard\n\nSJW\u2019s declared war on Tulsi Gabbard because she used to be against political homosexuality. She was raised in a very socially conservative household that had an anti-gay agenda and she made a few public statements here and there that the gays don\u2019t like.\n\nBut since then she has done a complete 180 and now earns a 100 score on the gay Humans Rights Campaign\u2019s scorecard.\n\nSo why are they mad at her?\n\nShe used to be not nice to teh geyz! So what! What she did and said wasn\u2019t even that bad. At that time, lots of people were against gay marriage, like more than half the population. My parents were against it most of their lives. I guess my parents are Nazis!\n\nShe was worried about gays brainwashing kids in schools, which is a bit of a reach, but really now: why do we need to have homosexual activists coming into the schools of little children teaching them all about the teh geyz and the trannies and all the rest of the Freakshow?! I mean come on, little children do not need to know about this or be taught about it.\n\nLittle kids are not particularly homophobic anyway. Mostly they don\u2019t even know what sex is or even what it means to be a homosexual. I had no idea how humans practiced oral sex when I was 11-13. I had to be told what a blowjob was. I hadn\u2019t a clue.\n\nYes, boys think it\u2019s bad to be a \u201cqueer,\u201d but they don\u2019t even know what that means. They just know it is something you don\u2019t want to be, which is an excellent concept for any straight boy to imbibe. Yes, extremely effeminate little boys are bullied, and rightly so. We had two screaming queens in our 5th grade class. Of course they got bullied. Were they born that way? Did they have some genes that made them act like screaming faggots?\n\nEffeminate boys are bullied and the rest of the boys get the message: \u201cDon\u2019t be effeminate or you get your ass beat!\u201d An excellent message for any straight boy to be taught. Tulsi also got in trouble for calling the gays pushing this stuff \u201cgay activists,\u201d which is exactly what they were and are.\n\nNowadays these idiots go into schools and teach little children stuff like, \u201cWell, if you are a girl, and you like girls, maybe you are gay. If you are a boy and you like boys, maybe you are gay.\u201d Yeah, way to go idiots. Great message to teach to little children.\n\nYour average little kid only has friends of their own gender. An 11 year old girl much prefers her girlfriends to boys, who are gross. A boy the same age prefers his male friends to yucky girls who have cooties. So all these little 11 year old children are getting the message that they must be homosexuals. Way to go gays! Or maybe that\u2019s the idea? Recruitment anyone?\n\nAnyway, Tulsi was raised in a fundamentalist Christian upbringing that was very anti-gay. She imbibed some of that. Her parents were active politically and teh geyz declared war on them. As an impressionable young woman aged 20, she made media appearances defending her parents from these pests. As any young woman that age might well do.\n\nAnyway, she has completely come around and she supports the whole Gay Agenda Package whole cloth. There\u2019s not one i or t she doesn\u2019t dot or cross. But that\u2019s not good enough. Apparently her mind is not pure yet.\n\nTeh geyz have discovered that evil Tulsi is a thought criminal! Oh noes! SJW\u2019s put thought criminals in prison for life, literally. Why? Because Tulsi averred privately that her views about geyz had not changed, even though she supported them 100% politically in overt speech and behavior. But that\u2019s not ok. Because thoughts have to be pure. And Tulsi is still guilty of harboring illegal thoughts. Which means she\u2019s a raging Nazi.\n\nLook. I don\u2019t care what you think. You can think whatever the heck you want to! You can have any opinion you want. I don\u2019t even care if you like me or not. Just pretend to like me and we\u2019re all good. As soon as you walk out my door, you can curse me as a scumbag, but I won\u2019t care if I don\u2019t hear it. If you are good to me, I don\u2019t care about how you feel about me deep down inside.\n\nI don\u2019t care how you think of feel about anything deep down inside. Your thoughts are your private abode. You can run amok in there or do whatever in tarnation you want to, and as long as you don\u2019t tell anyone, it\u2019s all legal.\n\nSo now people not only have to be perfectly pure SJW virgins for life, pure as driven snow or the Ivory Soap girl, never having committed even a single SJW transgressions in word or deed, as", "base_doc": ", I confess that I prefer women with pussies or vaginas over women with dicks or penises. Even though women with penises/dicks don\u2019t even exist. I still say that even if they did exist, I give thumbs down to that. If I wanted to fuck humans with cocks, I\u2019d go gay or bi.\n\nA woman with a cock just isn\u2019t a woman to me, sorry. It\u2019s like those drawings you got when you were a kid, \u201cThere is something wrong with this picture? Can you spot it?\u201d I can. It\u2019s the woman with the dick. That\u2019s in the picture, and yeah there\u2019s something seriously wrong with that.\n\nIf you wan to know what the Alt Left is about, the Alt Left is for liberals and Leftists who think this quote above is ridiculous nonsense.\n\nAlt Left: Banned from Alternet Again\n\nActually not banned but a lot of my posts got removed. I think I set it off with a post about the Brock Turner rape case along the lines of my post earlier. Then the commenter went through and vindictively removed every single comment I had made that way no matter what I said.\n\nI have a hard time imaging a liberal man being so emotional, but liberal-Left \u201cmen\u201d are hardly even real men anymore. They\u2019re humans with male bodies who think and feel like women. They\u2019re actually much worse than women themselves because at least women and nice to look, you can fuck them, and the sensible ones can be quite a bit of fun. There\u2019s no benefit to the male feminist at all. He\u2019s a pussy, a cuck and a gender traitor all at once. Hang \u2019em high!\n\nOn the other hand it may well have been a woman because that emo vindictiveness \u2013 removing every post I made just to be a cunt \u2013 is classic female behavior. An enraged woman is as good as blind. And the last time I got banned was for criticizing the Epstein case and calling the \u201cvictims\u201d things like \u201clittle teen whores\u201d which is precisely what those junior strumpets were.\n\nModerator is probably a feminist woman.\n\nI\u2019m trying real hard to decide who I hate more \u2013 American conservatives or American liberals. I really want to like the liberals because I basically am one from back before the movement got body-snatched, but they keep punching me in the face! And you hit a man enough times, and he might just start hitting back, you know. That\u2019s just human nature.\n\nConservatives are fairly friendly but American conservatives are like\u2026let me think of a good description\u2026\u201dretarded howling apes on PCP.\u201d How\u2019s that?\n\nBlocked you, jackass. If you can\u2019t figure out that \u201cfinger-banging\u201d a woman when she has passed out and thus cannot give consent is rape, I don\u2019t know what to say.\n\nI never said he didn\u2019t rape her. I just said it was difficult case. This guy is a flaming SJW faggot with his gay rainbow colors flying high for everyone to see and cheer on his glorious career in sodomy. I\u2019m not against gay men if they were born that; in fact, I cheer them on. But I really hate SJW fags. They\u2019re as bad as feminists or BLM or any of the rest of the Cultural Left scum.\n\nA friend of mine is a bit of an Alt Left gay man. He\u2019s my age. He calls himself a conservative but he\u2019s actually a Marxist! He\u2019s just a conservative Left type like me, left on economics but somewhat right on social issues. He calls these types \u201cgay libbers\u201d the old name for gay liberationists, the first name of the pro-gay movement in the West.\n\nHe also hates faggoty pride parades and all the rest of the in your face Gay IP disgusting nonsense. He says, \u201cWe gays all just need to get married and move to the suburbs and live just like all the regular normal people there.\u201d\n\nI cannot agree more with that statement.\n\nThe Insanity of the SJW War on Tulsi Gabbard\n\nSJW\u2019s declared war on Tulsi Gabbard because she used to be against political homosexuality. She was raised in a very socially conservative household that had an anti-gay agenda and she made a few public statements here and there that the gays don\u2019t like.\n\nBut since then she has done a complete 180 and now earns a 100 score on the gay Humans Rights Campaign\u2019s scorecard.\n\nSo why are they mad at her?\n\nShe used to be not nice to teh geyz! So what! What she did and said wasn\u2019t even that bad. At that time, lots of people were against gay marriage, like more than half the population. My parents were against it most of their lives. I guess my parents are Nazis!\n\nShe was worried about gays brainwashing kids in schools, which is a bit of a reach, but really now: why do we need to have homosexual activists coming into the schools of little children teaching them all about the teh geyz and the trannies and all the rest of the Freakshow?! I mean come on, little children do not need to know about this or be taught about it.\n\nLittle kids are not particularly homophobic anyway. Mostly they don\u2019t even know what sex is or even what it means to be a homosexual. I had no idea how humans practiced oral sex when I was 11-13. I had to be told what a blowjob was. I hadn\u2019t a clue.\n\nYes, boys think it\u2019s bad to be a \u201cqueer,\u201d but they don\u2019t even know what that means. They just know it is something you don\u2019t want to be, which is an excellent concept for any straight boy to imbibe. Yes, extremely effeminate little boys are bullied, and rightly so. We had two screaming queens in our 5th grade class. Of course they got bullied. Were they born that way? Did they have some genes that made them act like screaming faggots?\n\nEffeminate boys are bullied and the rest of the boys get the message: \u201cDon\u2019t be effeminate or you get your ass beat!\u201d An excellent message for any straight boy to be taught. Tulsi also got in trouble for calling the gays pushing this stuff \u201cgay activists,\u201d which is exactly what they were and are.\n\nNowadays these idiots go into schools and teach little children stuff like, \u201cWell, if you are a girl, and you like girls, maybe you are gay. If you are a boy and you like boys, maybe you are gay.\u201d Yeah, way to go idiots. Great message to teach to little children.\n\nYour average little kid only has friends of their own gender. An 11 year old girl much prefers her girlfriends to boys, who are gross. A boy the same age prefers his male friends to yucky girls who have cooties. So all these little 11 year old children are getting the message that they must be homosexuals. Way to go gays! Or maybe that\u2019s the idea? Recruitment anyone?\n\nAnyway, Tulsi was raised in a fundamentalist Christian upbringing that was very anti-gay. She imbibed some of that. Her parents were active politically and teh geyz declared war on them. As an impressionable young woman aged 20, she made media appearances defending her parents from these pests.

Consider some recent twenty-first century cocktail chatter: Do you watch \u201cBeasts of No Nation\u201d on the big screen, on your flat screen TV or your iPhone? Does any theatrical release stand a chance on Friday night when you can binge-watch the new Marvel show on Netflix instead? And why bother seeing that edgy new release when the known universe is planning to gather for \"Star Wars\" anyway?\n\nBut all of these possible issues obscure a far trickier conundrum facing the countless films from around the world that aren\u2019t even available to audiences in the first place.\n\nWhile top 10 lists provide one opportunity showcase the best movies of the year regardless of how much attention they\u2019ve received in release, at least they\u2019ve been released. The following list culls from numerous 2015 film festival programs to provide a rundown of first-rate cinema that has yet to land U.S. distribution (as far as anyone in the Indiewire HQ knows, anyway). Viewers eager to expand their awareness of contemporary cinema should keep tabs on these excellent options for whenever they become available \u2014 assuming distributors are taking notes as well.\n\n10. \"Paulina\"\n\nArgentine director Santiago Mitre\u2019s first feature, \"The Student,\" was a sleeper hit on the festival circuit that showcased the filmmaker\u2019s original voice in tackling the intermingling of personal and ideological sensibilities among socially conscious members of society. His follow-up, Critics Week winner \"Paulina,\" follows suit in more strikingly intimate terms. While \"The Student\" followed the developing rebellious sensibilities on a college campus during a period of political upheaval, \"Paulina\" focuses more specifically on the plight of its young heroine, the daughter of a successful judge, who assigns herself to a teaching gig in a low income town despite more lucrative possibilities at her disposal.\n\nWithin short order, she\u2019s subjected to the physical abuse and shocking violence troubling the region, and faced with a personal decision that further complicates her valiant commitment. Littered with sophisticated conversations surrounding the intermingling of personal desire and social advocacy, \"Paulina\" owes much to leading woman Dolores Fonzi in the title role, as she wields her fierce gaze to stare down the various male figures \u2014 her demanding father and boyfriend chief among them \u2014 who try to tell her what to do.\n\nPaulina\u2019s radical decision to confront the horrific forces in the disenfranchised community where she takes root, rather than pushing them to the side, creates a bracing source of suspense that transforms the movie from pure character study to major conversation piece on activism, gender discrimination and a grab bag of other tantalizing themes. That conversation should continue with audiences around the world.\n\n\n9. \"Cosmos\"\n\nPolish auteur Andrzej \u017bu\u0142awski may be best known worldwide for his 1981 body horror whatsit \"Possession,\" in which Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani play a couple whose relationship crumbles in increasingly bizarre, expressionistic terms. For the outrageous dark satire \"Cosmos,\" his first feature in 15 years, \u017bu\u0142awski savages a much broader target \u2014 the inherent chaos and desperation of human consciousness. It\u2019s often hilarious, confounding and downright strange; if not the director\u2019s most polished work, it nevertheless delivers a demented philosophical puzzle that\u2019s fun to scrutinize in all of its baffling uncertainties.\n\n\u017bu\u0142awski\u2019s French-language production, which adapts the 1965 novel by Polish writer Witold Gombrowicz, follows a crazy-eyed law school dropout named \u2014 for symbolic purposes that immediately endow the material with meta quality from the start \u2014 Witold (relative newcomer Jonathan Genet, a lanky man with a piercing gaze). As the story begins, Witold walks away from his gig at a Parisian fashion company to take solace at a peculiar family guest house in the woods, where he hopes to write a brilliantly sophisticated novel. With his giddy pal Fuks (Johan Lib\u00e9reau) by his side, Witold settles into the oddball home and its residents, where inexplicable behavior meets colorful personalities. Then again, Witold isn\u2019t too clear-headed himself, and from the outset it\u2019s hard to tell just how much his subjective perspective impacts the movie\u2019s trajectory. The plot of \"Cosmos\" has a kinship to Luis Bu\u00f1uel in its ongoing affinity for probing the pithy concerns of bourgeois society, but this hilarious satire ultimately marches to its own wacky beat. In other words, \u017bu\u0142awski is back and wilder than ever.\n\n\n8. \"Slackjaw\"\n\nJudging by recent portraits of neurotic, at times contemptible male anti-heroes in recent releases ranging from Rick Alverson\u2019s \"The Comedy\" (and his recent follow-up, \"Entertainment\") to Joel Potrykus\u2019 \"Buzzard,\" American independent film is getting weirder and angrier to fit our confused times. \"Slackjaw\" is the latest beguiling example, and one that deserves the cult following it could easily develop.\n\nDirector Zach Weintraub\u2019s hilariously strange and fleeting comedy follows two men who agree to be part of an experiment at a mysterious new corporation that shows up in their sleepy town. While one of them gets picked for the job and promptly vanishes, the other endures an increasingly cryptic set of experiences: He runs into an old high school pal and attempts to rekindle a band from their teenage years, only to dredge up old rivalries and regrets; in the meantime, a strange sheet-clad ghost pursues him on a bicycle and other figures wander in and out of his consciousness. The whole thing culminates with an American flag face painting and lots of hot dogs.\n\nIs Weintraub attempting an urgent statement on the claustrophobic powers of modern capitalism? Or just a trippy, hypnotizing portrait of obnoxious blue collar bros? Only one thing is certain: With a dash of Alverson and a dollop of Potrykus, \"Slackjaw\" provides yet another example of an outlaw attitude that\u2019s alive and well in American movies.\n\n\n7. \"Embers\"\n\nThe directorial debut of New York-based filmmaker Claire Carr\u00e9, \"Embers\" (which quietly screened at a handful of festivals this fall) takes place in a post-apocalyptic future in which nearly everyone suffers from short-term memory loss. Imagine \"Memento\" by way of \"The Matrix\" and you might start to get an idea for this haunting, innovative drama, in which numerous characters deal with daily confusion. At the center of the movie is a heartbreaking romance featuring a wandering couple (Iva Gocheva and Jason Ritter) who keep waking up unfamiliar with each other or their surroundings. Carr\u00e9 infuses their scenes together with wondrous existential yearning, while cycling through several other alienated figures: a young child, a committed scientist, and a teen woman living underground with her memories intact even as she yearns to escape.\n\nDespite the underlying tragedy of these circumstances, Carr\u00e9 (who co-wrote the script with Charles Spano) suggests an inherent warmth to her characters\u2019 tender struggles, which contain an innocence that deepens as we witness each victim fight through another confounding moment. Even if \"Star Wars\" caps off the year with the kind of mass appeal moviegoers crave, it\u2019s hard to imagine a drama set a galaxy far, far away generating more intrigue than the challenges facing our own in \"Embers.\"\n\n6. \"The Movement\" (\"El Movimiento\")\n\nArgentine filmmaker Benjamin Naishtat\u2019s debut feature \"History of Fear\" was a sleeper hit on the 2014 festival circuit that followed an eerie series of events creeping into a gated community from the outside world. The premise offered a keen allegory for Argentina\u2019s problems with class. The 67-minute \"El Movimiento\" (\"The Movement\") follows suit with another metaphorical take on contemporary Argentina, this one taking place in the distant past. Set in the plague-riddled deserts of 19th century, \"The Movement\" unfolds as a black-and-white portrait of various warring factions battling for superiority in a post-apocalyptic landscape.\n\nGorgeously shot and edited with the edgy intensity of a post-modern Western, \"The Movement\" is equal parts period drama and science fiction parable. Who are these angry men and what defines their cause? The answer is at once open-ended and a precise statement on the ugly power grabs that give way to contemporary society. Like Lisandro Alonso\u2019s \"Jauja,\" Naishtat\u2019s haunting sophomore feature provides a poetic access point for grappling with Argentinean identity. It may be a tough commercial prospect, but the genre elements alone should make it stand out on digital platforms and stimulate further interest in Naishtat\u2019s promising career.\n\n\n5. \"Schneider vs. Bax\"\n\nDutch filmmaker Alex van Warmerdam\u2019s movies tend to take the form of black comedies where doomed characters are trapped by bizarre circumstances.

And what May DOESN'T know is that the man behind this whole conspiracy is none other than... the Hobgoblin!\n\nStory 'Rocked by Reverb!'\n\nPeter Parker and Phil Urich are at the St. Andrews Battered Woman Shelter investigating the aftermath of Hobgoblin's attack that put Caitlin Leiber, the director, in the hospital. Both are worried that the attack could have something to do with May, who is at that moment taking the \"high road\" to school and feeling guilty about it. Her guilt ratchets up a few notches when she meets up with Courtney and learns that Caitlin has been assaulted. Unable to quell the suspicion that she had something to do with the attack, she suits up (in tights and a red hoodie) and heads over to the ice cream parlor where she tracked two of the Hobgoblin's goons to last issue.\n\nAt the aforementioned ice cream parlor, Hobgoblin informs two of his minions of his belief that Spider-Girl has an connection to St. Andrews, and orders them to target the teenage volunteers one by one. One of the hoods wonders what to do if Spider-Girl shows, and Hobgoblin shows him a battle suit employing \"some advanced sonic technology that recently came into my possession.\" Hobgoblin leaves the two to bicker about who will wear the suit, and May arrives, making too much noise to enter undiscovered. She subdues the first criminal easily, but gives the second time to don the suit, assume the name of \"Reverb,\" and use his sonic power to blast her through a window. Completely disoriented, May decides discretion is the better part of valor and flees back to school, where she is busted by Principal Slattery and thrown into detention.\n\nBack at the Midtown South precinct, Detective Drasco has come to warn Peter after speaking with Caitlin in the hospital: \"the perp asked her about her volunteers. I'm warning all of their parents to keep their eyes open.\" Peter tries to call May, but can't reach her. He calls MJ, who calls May's cell phone but is told in no uncertain terms by Mr. Slattery that May is unavailable for comment. Realizing that Courtney Duran is on her way to St. Andrews and could be in danger, MJ heads over to Midtown High and pulls May out of detention. May is shocked when MJ gives her her costume back, but honors MJ's one request: \"please don't tell your father I caved!\"\n\nStill guilty about lying to her mother and now having to keep a secret from her father, May swings off as Spider-Girl in pursuit of Courtney. Webbing her ears shut to keep the sonic blasts from affecting her inner ear, Spider-Girl catches the two thugs just before they attack Courtney and knocks them into a construction site. Dodging a few blasts, May webs all of Reverb's speakers and stomps him deep into a freshly poured building foundation, blowing out his entire costume.\n\nBack at the Hobgoblin's secret base of operations, Detective Drasco is giving Hobby a copy of Mona's jacket, telling him that he has questioned most of the people she knows and that everyone is playing dumb. This does not impress Hobgoblin in the slightest. \"Find her! Recover what she stole! And kill anyone who gets in your way!\"\n\nGeneral Comments\n\nNot bad. \"Reverb\" was a fairly generic throw-away villain and the obligatory fight scene was cookie cutter, but the overall story arc is picking up steam. I thought having MJ give May her costume back was a nice touch and completely in character (no matter how much it scares her, she knew her husband had a duty and now her daughter has that same duty.) May's guilty ruminations were a tad over the top, however. Granted, she hadn't been following the letter of her mother's previous edict, but it's not as if she was doing it for kicks, either. That's the Parker guilt for you, I suppose.\n\nSo Hobgoblin is trying to become the new Kingpin of Crime, eh? Also completely in character, and a nice parallel to his war against Wilson Fisk back during the Hobgoblin run in the 80s. Hopefully next issue we get a bit more about why this mysterious object in Mona's possession is so central to his plans.\n\nNot a lot going on in this issue, but it gets from point \"A\" to point \"B\" rather decisively and is setting up what looks to be a good story arc. Bonus points for the snazzy cover.\n\nOverall Rating\n\nI'm sticking with three and one half webs for the time being, as this issue didn't really have anything special other than the inevitable return to the costume.

How long since she last heard a shot or a shovel hitting sand?\n\nShe stumbled three steps back along her path before realizing she\u2019d come almost all the way around the island.

Important to remember that sounding strange doesn\u2019t mean no one ever believed it. Yes, very important.\n\nAnd that was\u2026no. That couldn\u2019t be everything, could it. There was something else, something she was forgetting. Damn this sand. She kicked at it and almost lost her footing.\n\nLooking down, she finally remembered that she was carrying something herself. She stared blankly at the box in her hand for a moment, wondering what was inside. Ah, right. A little essay about why knowledge of scientific fact, and trust in scientists, isn\u2019t enough. Time to bury that.\n\nBut who would\u2026who was left to guard her treasure. Oh, right. \u201cLast Hussar, I need your pistol.\u201d\n\nThere was only silence. The captain looked behind herself to see empty beach. How long had it been since she\u2019d last turned around? How long since she last heard a shot or a shovel hitting sand?\n\nShe stumbled three steps back along her path before realizing she\u2019d come almost all the way around the island. She turned again and staggered on.\n\nShe saw the ship first, then the dinghy about a hundred feet off shore. In it sat\u2026no. She shielded her eyes from the now-setting sun.\n\n\u201cAdmiral, ahoy!\u201d The captain waived her arm over her head. \u201cCome back! You can\u2019t strand me here!\u201d\n\n\u201cAye, lassie, we can. We have.\u201d The admiral pointed further up the beach. \u201cWe\u2019ve brought ye rations and grog. We\u2019ll check on ye in a month to see whether ye\u2019ve learnt yer lesson \u2019bout booty.\u201d\n\nThe admiral nodded, and the oarsmen took up their job again.\n\n\u201cBut wait! I don\u2019t understand.\u201d\n\nOne of the oarsman spit overboard and laughed. \u201cOh, Cap\u2019n. Yer as barmy as any we\u2019ve seen this last month. Ye\u2019ve heard too many tales meant fer bairns if ye think pirates wuld trust booty to ghosts. The only way fer keepin\u2019 your treasure safe is t\u2019 spend it. Spread it far and wide, as we mean to do.\u201d\n\nThe captain, who was captain no more, collapsed again on the wet sand, where she lay to watch the Elitist Bastard sail on.\n\nTags: ,\n\n5 Responses to \u201cCarnival of the Elitist Bastards XVI\u201d\n\n 1.

Basically, beneficiaries who had plateaued and could at best maintain function could not receive rehab services under these parts of the Medicare benefit package. Medicare has settled the court ruling with plaintiffs to expand the availability of these services, even to patients who cannot show improvement, but only maintenance of function. Several quick points:\n\n \u2022 While this issue has long been on the radar of elder/disability advocates, it never made it into the popular culture as a political issue. Why? I think it is related to the fact that long term care and disability are the underside of the health care system and people don\u2019t like to think about needing rehab just to be able to maintain their ability to swallow, for example. Not an attractive thought.\n \u2022 Imagine if Medicare announced that chemotherapy X to treat Cancer Y would only be paid for if you could prove it was extending your life. The internet and the health policy meets political corner of twitter would break.

It is a policy question as to whether such care should be required to bring about improvement, or simply to maintain function. I think the case has now been rightly decided toward expansiveness of these services. However, the same type of bright lights (does it extend life, improve function, how much does it cost?) should be asked of the entirety of the Medicare program.

I see one problem. One aspect of cost containment is the assumption that most people do not like going to doctors, do not like needles, do not like pills, really do not like surgery. Therapy is different. My husband had lots of speech therapy, some paid by insurance and some not. Three times a week, for an hour, an intelligent, usually young, frequently beautiful young woman (never met a male speech therapist) would get my husband to talk and listen with total attention to everything that she had gotten him to say.\n\n He would have done this 24/7 if he could.\n\n 1.

A big problem is that therapy may require the patient to live in a rehab facility. Medicare doesn\u2019t pay for long-term care, but it will pay living expenses for a person who needs rehab, so there\u2019s a huge incentive for facilities and families to try to keep a person in rehab if he or she can\u2019t live independently. So Medicare polices improvement strictly and goes after faciilities for fraud if they don\u2019t observe the improvement rule.\n\n We had this issue with my elderly mother, who had a number of horrendous health issues that resulted in six weeks of hospitalization, discharge to rehab, rehospitalization, and then to another rehab facility. By that point, she was unable to walk, stand, or feed herself, and she was suffering from hospital-induced dementia and depression. She refused to cooperate with the rehab therapists and eventually the facility kicked her off Medicare. They had to \u2013 if they\u2019d kept her on when she wasn\u2019t showing improvement, they risked fines and penalties.\n\n Fortunately, our family could afford to keep her in the facility, and after a month or so her dementia improved to the point that she could begin to participate in physical therapy, where she made significant improvements. She\u2019s now living in her own apartment again.\n\n But if we hadn\u2019t had the cash, she would be in a medicaid-funded nursing home now, still demented and drugged into inactivity.

control insecticides.\n\nBed bugs are getting tougher 'skin,' scientists warn.\u00a0 Using high-tech scanning equipment, scientists in Australia have discovered that in the battle between bed bugs and humans, some of the insects wield thicker exoskeletons, making them more resistant to insecticide.\u00a0 Bed bugs are a source of itchy misery and expense for those whose homes are infested, and the number of such infestations have increased in a \"dramatic\" way since 2000, according to a new study in the journal PLOS\u00a0ONE.\n\nWhite House: $589 million to go to fight Zika virus.\u00a0 Most of the $589\u00a0million would be devoted to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for research on the virus and Zika-related birth defects, as well as the creation of response teams to limit its spread.\n\nThe Editor says...\nIt would be far less expensive and more effective to remove the ban on DDT and/or temporarily prohibit two-way travel to Central and South America.\n\nLet's hear it for DDT.\u00a0 [Mosquitoes] are presently doing their egregious harm in a new, emphatic way in Brazil and more than 20\u00a0other Latin American countries and territories.\u00a0 They are biting people and infecting them with a pathogen called Zika.\u00a0 The virus has been around for decades but for the first time is believed to be causing a birth defect shrinking the skulls and damaging the brains of babies.\u00a0 It may also cause a syndrome that paralyzes people and it has even sneaked into the United States.\u00a0 [...] Time to use DDT maybe?\u00a0 Absolutely.\u00a0 As the scientist Robert Zubrin has noted, here is a pesticide that was used during World War II and later to kill mosquitoes and wipe out malaria and other diseases in the United States, Europe, Latin America and Asia, saving hundreds of millions of lives.\u00a0 Mosquitoes, fighting back, managed to develop resistance to it in some areas, but then something more dramatic happened, giving them an enormous break.\n\nThis was completely avoidable:\nFive star hotels 'infested' with bed bugs after major surge in blood-sucking insects across New York City.\u00a0 Tourists visiting some of New York's most prestigious hotels have reported being bitten by bed bugs despite their five star surroundings.\u00a0 Guests at the Waldorf Astoria and Marriott Marquis hotel are among those to have been affected by the infestation.\u00a0 Reports of bed bugs in the city's hotels have jumped by 44 per cent over the past year.\u00a0 According to the Bed Bug Registry, which lists reports of alleged incidents, there are almost 6,000 incidents in their databases relating to New York.\n\nObama asking Congress for $1.8 billion in emergency funding to combat Zika.\u00a0 President Barack Obama is asking Congress for more than $1.8\u00a0billion in emergency funding to help fight the Zika virus.\u00a0 In an announcement Monday [2/8/2016], the White House said the money would be used to expand mosquito control programs, speed development of a vaccine, develop diagnostic tests and improve support for low-income pregnant women.\n\nThe Editor says...\nIt would cost only a small fraction of that money to supply truckloads of DDT to South America, Central America, and the southern United States.\u00a0 It is far better (and cheaper) to proactively kill every mosquito on the face of the earth than to try to repair the damage once the mosquitos spread some disease we've never heard\u00a0of.\n\nWith Zika, Time to Bring Back DDT.\u00a0 The Zika virus is spreading by mosquitos northward through Latin America, possibly correlated with birth defects such as microcephaly in infants.\u00a0 Stories and photos of their abnormally small skulls are making headlines.\u00a0 The World Health Organization reports that four million people could be infected by the end of 2016.\u00a0 On Monday [2/1/2016], the WHO is meeting to decide how to address the crisis.\u00a0 The international body should recommend that the ban on DDT should be reversed, in order to kill the mosquitoes that carry Zika and malaria, a protistan parasite that has no cure.\u00a0 Zika is in the news, but it is dwarfed by malaria.\u00a0 About 300\u00a0million to 600\u00a0million people suffer each year from malaria, and it kills about 1\u00a0million annually, 90\u00a0percent in sub-Saharan Africa.\u00a0 We have the means to reduce Zika and malaria\u00a0\u2014 and we are not using\u00a0it.\n\nZika is latest mosquito-borne virus knocking on Texas' door.\u00a0 Another mosquito-borne illness is rapidly spreading across South and Central America, one that may be linked to disturbing birth defects in Brazil.\u00a0 The Zika virus is confirmed in cases from Brazil to Mexico, including one reported near Monterrey, less than 150\u00a0miles from the Texas border.\u00a0 Puerto Rico just reported its first case in December.\u00a0 State officials say they don't believe that the Zika virus, discovered in Uganda in 1947, is an immediate threat to Texas, but many questions remain unanswered.\n\nWeeds will prevail in Maryland lawn care ban.\u00a0 Few things are as precious to the stereotypical upper-middle-class suburbanite as their pristine green front lawns.\u00a0 And those stereotypes have been proven true in Montgomery County, Maryland, where homeowners are in a tizzy over a proposal that would ban many common lawn treatments and pesticides like the well-known Scott's Miracle Grow and Monsanto's Round-Up.\n\nRadical Environmentalism's Death Campaigns.\u00a0 By denying people access to abundant, reliable, affordable electricity, modern fertilizers and biotech seeds, and especially DDT to prevent malaria and other insect-borne diseases, they are killing millions every year.\u00a0 Many of my articles have documented this.\u00a0 Now a new film written, self-financed and produced by Dr. D.\u00a0Rutledge Taylor, MD graphically presents powerful new evidence of how the Audubon Society, Sierra Club, other predominantly white environmentalist pressure groups and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency conspired to hide and discredit scientific evidence, and wage a campaign of disinformation and outright lies, to ban the most effective weapon yet devised to prevent malaria and other vicious diseases.\n\nThis could have been avoided:\nVirus-transmitting 'yellow fever' mosquitoes discovered in L.A. County.\u00a0 A new aggressive daytime-biting mosquito capable of transmitting debilitating and possibly deadly viruses has been found in the Los Angeles region, officials announced Wednesday [10/15/2014].\u00a0 Known as yellow fever mosquitoes, the insects were found Oct.\u00a07 and\u00a08 in Commerce and Pico Rivera, respectively, according to the Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District.\n\nAnti-Science Environmentalists Ban 'Neonic' Insecticides, Imperiling Global Health.\u00a0 Two recent pesticide bans in the EU\u00a0\u2014 one fully in effect, the other in the process of being phased in\u00a0\u2014 could create massive new disincentives for further development in this area.\u00a0 Both bans were politically motivated and instituted over the objection of independent scientists, and similar bans are now being pushed by activists in the U.S.\u00a0 Should the EPA cave to political pressure, the long-term effect on global public health could be devastating.\n\nThe Editor says...\nThe way I see it, the EPA is applying political pressure, in order to prolong its existence.\u00a0 They aren't about to \"cave to political pressure.\"\n\nIs the NYTimes reverting to the bad old days of DDT denial?\u00a0 Over the 51\u00a0years since Rachel Carson's poetic attack on DDT in her \"Silent Spring\" novel, the chemical pesticide became the poster child for the nascent environmental movement's inchoate wrath.\u00a0 The victims:\u00a0 millions of African and Asian children and pregnant women who succumbed to malaria in the absence of DDT.\u00a0 However, over the past decade, when the toll of malaria seemed to be ever-increasing at a rate of one-million dead each year, and the actual studies of DDT continued to show no evidence of harm to humans, animals or the environment at small levels of exposure, most scientists free of immersion in the anti-DDT fringe came around to accepting its highly effective power against the death-dealing

justified in part as a response to global warming\u00a0\u2014 which diverted the corn crop to fuel production and sent global food prices soaring in 2008.\u00a0 Exhibit\u00a0B is the cult of organic farming and knee-jerk opposition to [genetically modified crops], which risk depriving farmers in poor countries of high-yield, nutrient-rich crops.\u00a0 Exhibit\u00a0C was the effort to ban DDT without adequate substitutes to stop the spread of malaria, which kills nearly 900,000 people, mostly children, in sub-Saharan Africa alone with each passing year.\u00a0 The list goes on\u00a0and\u00a0on.\n\nBees, pesticides, more green lies.\u00a0 [Scroll down]\u00a0 Various neonicotinoids are widely used in Canada to protect its vast canola fields, and Canadian bee populations are thriving, notes science writer Jon Entine.\u00a0 Varroa-free Australia is likewise one of the world's prime users of these pesticides, and its bee colonies are among the planet's healthiest.\u00a0 By contrast, bee populations have been severely impacted by Varroa mites in areas of Switzerland where neonics are not used.\u00a0 Multiple", "base_doc": "lorine and organophosphate mosquito control insecticides.\n\nBed bugs are getting tougher 'skin,' scientists warn.\u00a0 Using high-tech scanning equipment, scientists in Australia have discovered that in the battle between bed bugs and humans, some of the insects wield thicker exoskeletons, making them more resistant to insecticide.\u00a0 Bed bugs are a source of itchy misery and expense for those whose homes are infested, and the number of such infestations have increased in a \"dramatic\" way since 2000, according to a new study in the journal PLOS\u00a0ONE.\n\nWhite House: $589 million to go to fight Zika virus.\u00a0 Most of the $589\u00a0million would be devoted to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for research on the virus and Zika-related birth defects, as well as the creation of response teams to limit its spread.\n\nThe Editor says...\nIt would be far less expensive and more effective to remove the ban on DDT and/or temporarily prohibit two-way travel to Central and South America.\n\nLet's hear it for DDT.\u00a0 [Mosquitoes] are presently doing their egregious harm in a new, emphatic way in Brazil and more than 20\u00a0other Latin American countries and territories.\u00a0 They are biting people and infecting them with a pathogen called Zika.\u00a0 The virus has been around for decades but for the first time is believed to be causing a birth defect shrinking the skulls and damaging the brains of babies.\u00a0 It may also cause a syndrome that paralyzes people and it has even sneaked into the United States.\u00a0 [...] Time to use DDT maybe?\u00a0 Absolutely.\u00a0 As the scientist Robert Zubrin has noted, here is a pesticide that was used during World War II and later to kill mosquitoes and wipe out malaria and other diseases in the United States, Europe, Latin America and Asia, saving hundreds of millions of lives.\u00a0 Mosquitoes, fighting back, managed to develop resistance to it in some areas, but then something more dramatic happened, giving them an enormous break.\n\nThis was completely avoidable:\nFive star hotels 'infested' with bed bugs after major surge in blood-sucking insects across New York City.\u00a0 Tourists visiting some of New York's most prestigious hotels have reported being bitten by bed bugs despite their five star surroundings.\u00a0 Guests at the Waldorf Astoria and Marriott Marquis hotel are among those to have been affected by the infestation.\u00a0 Reports of bed bugs in the city's hotels have jumped by 44 per cent over the past year.\u00a0 According to the Bed Bug Registry, which lists reports of alleged incidents, there are almost 6,000 incidents in their databases relating to New York.\n\nObama asking Congress for $1.8 billion in emergency funding to combat Zika.\u00a0 President Barack Obama is asking Congress for more than $1.8\u00a0billion in emergency funding to help fight the Zika virus.\u00a0 In an announcement Monday [2/8/2016], the White House said the money would be used to expand mosquito control programs, speed development of a vaccine, develop diagnostic tests and improve support for low-income pregnant women.\n\nThe Editor says...\nIt would cost only a small fraction of that money to supply truckloads of DDT to South America, Central America, and the southern United States.\u00a0 It is far better (and cheaper) to proactively kill every mosquito on the face of the earth than to try to repair the damage once the mosquitos spread some disease we've never heard\u00a0of.\n\nWith Zika, Time to Bring Back DDT.\u00a0 The Zika virus is spreading by mosquitos northward through Latin America, possibly correlated with birth defects such as microcephaly in infants.\u00a0 Stories and photos of their abnormally small skulls are making headlines.\u00a0 The World Health Organization reports that four million people could be infected by the end of 2016.\u00a0 On Monday [2/1/2016], the WHO is meeting to decide how to address the crisis.\u00a0 The international body should recommend that the ban on DDT should be reversed, in order to kill the mosquitoes that carry Zika and malaria, a protistan parasite that has no cure.\u00a0 Zika is in the news, but it is dwarfed by malaria.\u00a0 About 300\u00a0million to 600\u00a0million people suffer each year from malaria, and it kills about 1\u00a0million annually, 90\u00a0percent in sub-Saharan Africa.\u00a0 We have the means to reduce Zika and malaria\u00a0\u2014 and we are not using\u00a0it.\n\nZika is latest mosquito-borne virus knocking on Texas' door.\u00a0 Another mosquito-borne illness is rapidly spreading across South and Central America, one that may be linked to disturbing birth defects in Brazil.\u00a0 The Zika virus is confirmed in cases from Brazil to Mexico, including one reported near Monterrey, less than 150\u00a0miles from the Texas border.\u00a0 Puerto Rico just reported its first case in December.\u00a0 State officials say they don't believe that the Zika virus, discovered in Uganda in 1947, is an immediate threat to Texas, but many questions remain unanswered.\n\nWeeds will prevail in Maryland lawn care ban.\u00a0 Few things are as precious to the stereotypical upper-middle-class suburbanite as their pristine green front lawns.\u00a0 And those stereotypes have been proven true in Montgomery County, Maryland, where homeowners are in a tizzy over a proposal that would ban many common lawn treatments and pesticides like the well-known Scott's Miracle Grow and Monsanto's Round-Up.\n\nRadical Environmentalism's Death Campaigns.\u00a0 By denying people access to abundant, reliable, affordable electricity, modern fertilizers and biotech seeds, and especially DDT to prevent malaria and other insect-borne diseases, they are killing millions every year.\u00a0 Many of my articles have documented this.\u00a0 Now a new film written, self-financed and produced by Dr. D.\u00a0Rutledge Taylor, MD graphically presents powerful new evidence of how the Audubon Society, Sierra Club, other predominantly white environmentalist pressure groups and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency conspired to hide and discredit scientific evidence, and wage a campaign of disinformation and outright lies, to ban the most effective weapon yet devised to prevent malaria and other vicious diseases.\n\nThis could have been avoided:\nVirus-transmitting 'yellow fever' mosquitoes discovered in L.A. County.\u00a0 A new aggressive daytime-biting mosquito capable of transmitting debilitating and possibly deadly viruses has been found in the Los Angeles region, officials announced Wednesday [10/15/2014].\u00a0 Known as yellow fever mosquitoes, the insects were found Oct.\u00a07 and\u00a08 in Commerce and Pico Rivera, respectively, according to the Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District.\n\nAnti-Science Environmentalists Ban 'Neonic' Insecticides, Imperiling Global Health.\u00a0 Two recent pesticide bans in the EU\u00a0\u2014 one fully in effect, the other in the process of being phased in\u00a0\u2014 could create massive new disincentives for further development in this area.\u00a0 Both bans were politically motivated and instituted over the objection of independent scientists, and similar bans are now being pushed by activists in the U.S.\u00a0 Should the EPA cave to political pressure, the long-term effect on global public health could be devastating.\n\nThe Editor says...\nThe way I see it, the EPA is applying political pressure, in order to prolong its existence.\u00a0 They aren't about to \"cave to political pressure.\"\n\nIs the NYTimes reverting to the bad old days of DDT denial?\u00a0 Over the 51\u00a0years since Rachel Carson's poetic attack on DDT in her \"Silent Spring\" novel, the chemical pesticide became the poster child for the nascent environmental movement's inchoate wrath.\u00a0 The victims:\u00a0 millions of African and Asian children and pregnant women who succumbed to malaria in the absence of DDT.\u00a0 However, over the past decade, when the toll of malaria seemed to be ever-increasing at a rate of one-million dead each year, and the actual studies of DDT continued to show no evidence of harm to humans, animals or the environment at small levels of exposure, most scientists free of immersion in the anti-DDT fringe came around to accepting its highly effective power against the death-dealing anopheles mosquito.\n\nDoes Environmentalism Cause Amnesia?.\u00a0 [Scroll down]\u00a0 What does hurt people is bad public policy.\u00a0 Exhibit\u00a0A is the U.S. ethanol mandate\u00a0\u2014 justified in part as a response to global warming\u00a0\u2014 which diverted the corn crop to fuel production and sent global food prices soaring in 2008.\u00a0 Exhibit\u00a0B is the cult of organic farming and knee-jerk opposition to [genetically modified crops], which risk depriving farmers in poor countries of high-yield, nutrient-rich crops.\u00a0 Exhibit\u00a0C was the effort to ban DDT without adequate substitutes to stop the spread of malaria, which kills nearly 900,000 people, mostly children, in sub-Saharan Africa alone with each passing year.\u00a0 The list goes on\u00a0and\u00a0on.\n\nBees, pesticides, more green lies.\u00a0 [Scroll down]\u00a0 Various neonicotinoids are widely used in Canada to protect its vast canola fields, and Canadian bee populations are thriving, notes science writer Jon Entine.\u00a0 Varroa-free Australia is likewise one of the world's prime users of these pesticides, and its bee colonies are among the planet's healthiest.\u00a0 By contrast, bee populations have been severely impacted by Varroa mites in areas of Switzerland where neonics are not used.\u00a0 Multiple studies point to still other factors that explain why bees are struggling.\u00a0 They include bees developing resistance to", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 337146, "pt_loc": 46780256, "pt_shuffle_idx": 113259195, "doc_index_f": 177507048, "doc_index_l": 177507048, "offset_f": 3670, "offset_l": 5718, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 20, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": " at the time it was called Ikaruga-dera (\u6591\u9ce9\u5bfa), a name that is still sometimes used.

But this is a different model of dependency than we usually think of when we are talking about helping people. Typically what comes to mind is a short continuum, with \"learned helplessness\" on one side and \"opportunistic free-riding\" on the other. But there are broader ways of understanding dependency. One could say that most urban communities depend on rural farms, because they don't have, within their borders, the unused arable land that they would need to grow all of the crops that they eat in a year. You could say that the residents of a condominium development depend on the local fire department to come to the rescue in case of a home fire. What sets these apart from other understanding of dependency is their mutuality, and therefore, the lack of an assumption that one side is either unable to unwilling to care for itself. And so the dependency, rather than being a matter of simple survival, is more about reaching a certain standard of living.

But this is a different model of dependency than we usually think of when we are talking about helping people. Typically what comes to mind is a short continuum, with \"learned helplessness\" on one side and \"opportunistic free-riding\" on the other. But there are broader ways of understanding dependency. One could say that most urban communities depend on rural farms, because they don't have, within their borders, the unused arable land that they would need to grow all of the crops that they eat in a year. You could say that the residents of a condominium development depend on the local fire department to come to the rescue in case of a home fire. What sets these apart from other understanding of dependency is their mutuality, and therefore, the lack of an assumption that one side is either unable to unwilling to care for itself. And so the dependency, rather than being a matter of simple survival, is more about reaching a certain standard of living.

A common theme across many of these speakers, and especially from the producers, was the importance of capturing added value in the cattle they sell.\n\nA key is that modern pricing grids differentiate among individual cattle at harvest based on how well they grade. In brief, grids reward premiums to carcass characteristics such as high quality grades and lean yield grades, and conversely discount low quality grades, yield grades that indicate reduced cutability, dark cutters, underweight or overweight carcasses, etc. An animal that grades prime, yield grade 1 or 2 (remember, lower yield grade numbers indicate higher cutability) can be worth hundreds of dollars more than an average animal.\n\nAdditionally, animals that gain at faster rates and more efficiently are worth more in the feedlot phase. Again, an animal that gains at 5 lb. per day and converts at a rate of 5.5 lb. of feed per lb. of gain will be worth hundreds of dollars more than animals that gain at average or below average rates and conversions.\n\nImagine the value of an animal that combines fast and efficient gain in the feedlot with superior carcass traits. These are the kind of cattle that were making money even when costs of gain were extremely high during much of 2012.\n\nSo how does a cow-calf producer capture some of this added value if his or her calves have these superior capabilities during post-weaning performance? First, that producer needs to be able to document the performance capacity of their cattle. Measuring performance is key; a person can\u2019t manage these traits if they don't measure them.\n\nThis involves developing relationships and communicating with feeding and packing sectors to get feedlot and carcass data on their cattle. There are a variety of mechanisms to accomplish this. One is to enroll calves in a calf-feeding program like the Calf Value Discovery Program conducted by SDSU. Another option is to discuss this with your seedstock producer. Many seedstock producers buy back calves or create relationships with feedlots so they and their bull-buying customers can get data back on the progeny of their bulls. With the declining number of cattle to feed in the U.S., many custom feedlots will provide a lot of data and services to attract customer cattle, including providing feedlot and carcass data.\n\nAnother element of capturing added value is using the data to increase the capability and value of the cattle. Once feedlot and carcass performance on an individual basis is known, genetic capacity in any herd can be improved by buying bulls or semen that improve deficient traits and culling cows that transmit deficient performance to their calves. Because growth and carcass traits are moderately to highly heritable, genetic progress can be fairly rapid. Knowing who the best cows in a herd are based on the performance and profitability of their calves will go a long way toward selecting for the most profitable and culling the least.\n\nCritical to making this work is communication. Conversations with your seedstock producers will be important to genetic improvement and possibly marketing the future offspring. Communication with feedlot management will be critical to capturing feedlot performance and also probably carcass data. Working with a branding program, which may include joining or investing in the organization or company, may be key to collecting data and also providing the", "base_doc": " on the case.\n\nShare this link\n\nRelated Attorneys and Professionals<|endoftext|>Ultralight Powered Paraglider Propellers\n\nYour Ultralight PPG Propeller Supplier\n\nWe hand-craft powered paraglider propellers!

In brief, grids reward premiums to carcass characteristics such as high quality grades and lean yield grades, and conversely discount low quality grades, yield grades that indicate reduced cutability, dark cutters, underweight or overweight carcasses, etc. An animal that grades prime, yield grade 1 or 2 (remember, lower yield grade numbers indicate higher cutability) can be worth hundreds of dollars more than an average animal.\n\nAdditionally, animals that gain at faster rates and more efficiently are worth more in the feedlot phase. Again, an animal that gains at 5 lb. per day and converts at a rate of 5.5 lb. of feed per lb. of gain will be worth hundreds of dollars more than animals that gain at average or below average rates and conversions.\n\nImagine the value of an animal that combines fast and efficient gain in the feedlot with superior carcass traits. These are the kind of cattle that were making money even when costs of gain were extremely high during much of 2012.\n\nSo how does a cow-calf producer capture some of this added value if his or her calves have these superior capabilities during post-weaning performance? First, that producer needs to be able to document the performance capacity of their cattle. Measuring performance is key; a person can\u2019t manage these traits if they don't measure them.\n\nThis involves developing relationships and communicating with feeding and packing sectors to get feedlot and carcass data on their cattle. There are a variety of mechanisms to accomplish this. One is to enroll calves in a calf-feeding program like the Calf Value Discovery Program conducted by SDSU. Another option is to discuss this with your seedstock producer. Many seedstock producers buy back calves or create relationships with feedlots so they and their bull-buying customers can get data back on the progeny of their bulls. With the declining number of cattle to feed in the U.S., many custom feedlots will provide a lot of data and services to attract customer cattle, including providing feedlot and carcass data.\n\nAnother element of capturing added value is using the data to increase the capability and value of the cattle. Once feedlot and carcass performance on an individual basis is known, genetic capacity in any herd can be improved by buying bulls or semen that improve deficient traits and culling cows that transmit deficient performance to their calves. Because growth and carcass traits are moderately to highly heritable, genetic progress can be fairly rapid. Knowing who the best cows in a herd are based on the performance and profitability of their calves will go a long way toward selecting for the most profitable and culling the least.\n\nCritical to making this work is communication. Conversations with your seedstock producers will be important to genetic improvement and possibly marketing the future offspring. Communication with feedlot management will be critical to capturing feedlot performance and also probably carcass data. Working with a branding program, which may include joining or investing in the organization or company, may be key to collecting data and also providing the channel to market cattle with high performance. The bottom line is that communication across sectors plays multiple roles", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 342054, "pt_loc": 33386405, "pt_shuffle_idx": 125349562, "doc_index_f": 196458684, "doc_index_l": 196458687, "offset_f": 1138, "offset_l": 769, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 19, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [18, 626, 635, 770]} +{"pt_doc": "Erin likes to shop at Aldi, while Victoria prefers to go to a more expensive store.

Where\u2019s my Daddy?\u201d\n\nNo answer. He looked but could not see his father at all.\n\n\nHe was hurt and bewildered beyond measure as to why his mother and father had not come for him. Maybe just maybe he was going to have to live without his parents. He remembered the woman who had recently come to visit him. She said:\n\n\u201cSometimes we have to do things on our own. Like when we go to school alone without Mommy and Daddy. That\u2019s kind of what you\u2019re doing here right now. . \u201d\n\nNo. He would keep waiting for his mother and father. Surely they would come for him.\n\nChapter 9\n\n

Some of them began waving in my direction, calling \u201cWhispering, Whispering\u201d. I went with one of them to his motorbike, hopped on the back and off we roared towards the Resort.\n\nFifth Week\n\nThe hours are flying, the days are passing by, week after week. Sleep, Dive, Eat, Repeat. A bunch of new guests just arrived. A real fun group, mostly divers. Finally there is something happening, not only in the dive center, but also in the resort. In the daytime, during diving, and when the sun goes down at the bar. Consequently there is also lots to do. Carrying tanks, preparing the dive equipment, loading the boat, diving, diving, diving. And even though all of this can be quite exhausting, it is also a lot of fun. Especially with the divers we have now. They are full of cheerfulness. And they are singing every day. After diving \u201cGing Gang Goolie\u201c, and in the evening, when someone rings the bell and everyone has a shot in front of them, you can hear them singing, requesting another round. I wouldn\u2019t want any other guests. Additionally, there is also a new diver joining the ranks. As a result I was able to assist an Open Water Diver Course, and gather a lot of experience. The other day we took the whole group to the city. The Multicab drove two times to Dap Dap, there we took two public boats to San Carlos. After we arrived, we had to organize half a dozen tricycles. Shortly after we roared, beeping and singing through the streets of San Carlos. First we had to stop at the bank. Once everyone filled they pockets, we continued to the public market. While Oli tried to manoeuvre the group through the narrow alleys, I went my own way to get my shoe repaired. Then I bought one kilo of lanzones. Another exotic fruit on my list, it looks like a small potato, and tastes really good. Quickly rejoined with the group. While I was gone they had a look at the church of San Carlos. Shortly after we again squeezed ourselves into the tricycles and drove to Gaisano to buy Halloween costumes for the upcoming Halloween party. Then we had dinner in a restaurant called 10/9. Oli then ordered a bit of everything, and we made ourselves a little buffet so everyone was able to try all the dishes. After we finished eating, we went back to the port where the two public boats were waiting for us. It was dark already, and there was a storm coming, from time to time there was bright lightning illuminating the black water which was rushing along the outriggers of our banca. In Dap Dap we tried to get the guests back to the resort as quickly as possible. Oli and me were the last standing on the wharf when it started raining pitchforks. When we finally arrived at the resort, the guest where already waiting at the bar.\n\nSixth Week\n\nToday we had a christening feast and an engagement party at the resort. And everyone was invited. When I woke up in the morning I was already looking forward to the evening. The whole thing was happening in the restaurant. The day before they already started to decorate everything. At first the christening was announced, then there was a bunch of young dancers coming up to the \u201cstage\u201d to perform a couple of Filipino folk dances. The audience was impressed, thus there was a lot of clapping of hands going on. Suddenly, to the future wife\u2019s surprise, the christening was transformed into an engagement party. Shortly after the big buffet was declared open. We had pigling (lechon), and many other yummy dishes. But believe me, the pigling here is much more tasty then the one I once ate in Germany. So at the end everyone was full and rather satisfied. But the show wasn\u2019t over yet. After dinner everyone went outside, in front of the gate there were fire dancers waiting for us, flames were thrown through the air, flashing through the night, twisting and turning. The whole spectacle was accompanied by a booming drum roll, that kept going even after the last flames went out. At the end there was a firework, painting colourful flowers at the nightly sky. Back at the restaurant we played some music and I mingled with the guests. Next thing on the list was Halloween. Costumes were already close at hand. The day before Halloween I got myself a wig and some make-up. Now I was standing in my room in front of the mirror, trying make myself look like the Joker. However, when I went down to the resort I had the feeling that I had more resemblance with a sleazy drag queen than with Heath Ledgers Joker. Down in the bar I encountered a skeleton, a bunch of witches, monster masks, scar faces, and a costume that had more than just resemblance with a she-male. So I easily passed as the Joker. Then, during the last minutes of Happy Hour a mummy came stumbling up the stairs. I have to admit, Oli really put some effort in his costume. One group picture, and off we went to the grill house, where we had BBQ plus spare ribs. As a dessert the guest were able to try some durian, a fruit that emits a stinky, penetrating smell. In my opinion it doesn\u2019t taste much better than it smells, and I think most the guests thought so to. Eventually the fun was over, and I went up to fall into my bed.\n\nSeventh Week\n\nYesterday was the 5th of November. And like ever November 5th, the City of San Carlos celebrated its annual Pintaflores Festival. We took our dive boat, going down to San Carlos at around 5pm, together with some of the staff and a couple of guests. The city was buzzing like crazy. The streets were full of tricycles, swarming around, carrying passengers to the festival ground. After Oli, me and the guests had some dinner, we also made our way to the main event. We were just walking around, watching, drifting with the crowd. To our sides there were tents. In some you could get yourself painted with the some Henna colour, or even tattoo yourself with permanent ink. Further behind they sold heaps of clothes, and the people swooped down on them like vultures. On every corner there was a guy selling air balloons. The price ranging from 25 up to 85 peso. Loud music was blasting away on the distant stage. You could see little push cards, selling beer, snacks, fried chicken, and also balut. These push carts could be recognized by the bright light bulb which was hovering above a pile of brown and white eggs. If you would choose the white egg, you quickly realized, that it wasn\u2019t your normal chicken egg down from the supermarket. But something that most people wouldn\u2019t dare putting into their mouths. Balut is indeed a kind of egg, however instead of egg yolk you would find a developing bird embryo (usually a duck or a chicken) inside the shell. The eggs are fertilized, usually incubated for around 17 days, boiled and the contents eaten directly from the shell. They are supposed to make you strong, and to increase your potency. Since its not a very pleasant thing to watch yourself eat an unborn baby chicken, balut is normally served during night time. However, even then you shouldn\u2019t look to closely what you are actually putting in your mouth, because you can often see eyes, feathers and pecker quite clearly. Since I am not like most people, I couldn\u2019t miss the chance to try this special dish myself. First you remove a bit of the shell, then you add some vinegar and a pinch of salt, after that its \u201ccheers\u201d. When you are finished slurping the liquid, which some people actually say is the pee, you eat the main dish. And I am able to tell that it doesn\u2019t even taste that bad. Quite spicy, and it goes really well with a sip of San Miguel Light. I would definitely eat it again.\n\nEighth Week\n\nOn Thursday I decided to do a little exploring around the island. We only had one dive, so I had the rest of the day off. I hopped on one of the silver ladies bikes belonging to the resort, shouldered my camera and started pedalling. First I went to San Juan. There you were able to have a look at the giant, century old balete tree. This kind of tree, belonging to the family of fig trees, can be recognized by the network of downward-growing and increasingly widening, tentacle-like aerial roots pushing down and integrating themselves with the main trunk. Shortly after, I arrived at a small, white beach. Pulled onto the beach there was a little fisher boat. A wall of mangroves blocked the view, only behind the boat there was a narrow waterway leading to the open sea. Facing the shore there was a cobbled basketball hoop nailed to a palm tree. A hen and her chicken were dabbing in the sand, looking for something to eat. From time to time a motorbike passed by. From the other side of the road you could hear the brawling of", "base_doc": " bites which looked like the ones from KFC, but were much cheaper and a lot tastier. At the wharf I managed to get the last seat on an overcrowded public boat and shortly after I arrived at Sipaway Island. In Dap Dap there was already a bunch of people waiting for the boat to land. Some of them began waving in my direction, calling \u201cWhispering, Whispering\u201d. I went with one of them to his motorbike, hopped on the back and off we roared towards the Resort.\n\nFifth Week\n\nThe hours are flying, the days are passing by, week after week. Sleep, Dive, Eat, Repeat. A bunch of new guests just arrived. A real fun group, mostly divers. Finally there is something happening, not only in the dive center, but also in the resort. In the daytime, during diving, and when the sun goes down at the bar. Consequently there is also lots to do. Carrying tanks, preparing the dive equipment, loading the boat, diving, diving, diving. And even though all of this can be quite exhausting, it is also a lot of fun. Especially with the divers we have now. They are full of cheerfulness. And they are singing every day. After diving \u201cGing Gang Goolie\u201c, and in the evening, when someone rings the bell and everyone has a shot in front of them, you can hear them singing, requesting another round. I wouldn\u2019t want any other guests. Additionally, there is also a new diver joining the ranks. As a result I was able to assist an Open Water Diver Course, and gather a lot of experience. The other day we took the whole group to the city. The Multicab drove two times to Dap Dap, there we took two public boats to San Carlos. After we arrived, we had to organize half a dozen tricycles. Shortly after we roared, beeping and singing through the streets of San Carlos. First we had to stop at the bank. Once everyone filled they pockets, we continued to the public market. While Oli tried to manoeuvre the group through the narrow alleys, I went my own way to get my shoe repaired. Then I bought one kilo of lanzones. Another exotic fruit on my list, it looks like a small potato, and tastes really good. Quickly rejoined with the group. While I was gone they had a look at the church of San Carlos. Shortly after we again squeezed ourselves into the tricycles and drove to Gaisano to buy Halloween costumes for the upcoming Halloween party. Then we had dinner in a restaurant called 10/9. Oli then ordered a bit of everything, and we made ourselves a little buffet so everyone was able to try all the dishes. After we finished eating, we went back to the port where the two public boats were waiting for us. It was dark already, and there was a storm coming, from time to time there was bright lightning illuminating the black water which was rushing along the outriggers of our banca. In Dap Dap we tried to get the guests back to the resort as quickly as possible. Oli and me were the last standing on the wharf when it started raining pitchforks. When we finally arrived at the resort, the guest where already waiting at the bar.\n\nSixth Week\n\nToday we had a christening feast and an engagement party at the resort. And everyone was invited. When I woke up in the morning I was already looking forward to the evening. The whole thing was happening in the restaurant. The day before they already started to decorate everything. At first the christening was announced, then there was a bunch of young dancers coming up to the \u201cstage\u201d to perform a couple of Filipino folk dances. The audience was impressed, thus there was a lot of clapping of hands going on. Suddenly, to the future wife\u2019s surprise, the christening was transformed into an engagement party. Shortly after the big buffet was declared open. We had pigling (lechon), and many other yummy dishes. But believe me, the pigling here is much more tasty then the one I once ate in Germany. So at the end everyone was full and rather satisfied. But the show wasn\u2019t over yet. After dinner everyone went outside, in front of the gate there were fire dancers waiting for us, flames were thrown through the air, flashing through the night, twisting and turning. The whole spectacle was accompanied by a booming drum roll, that kept going even after the last flames went out. At the end there was a firework, painting colourful flowers at the nightly sky. Back at the restaurant we played some music and I mingled with the guests. Next thing on the list was Halloween. Costumes were already close at hand. The day before Halloween I got myself a wig and some make-up. Now I was standing in my room in front of the mirror, trying make myself look like the Joker. However, when I went down to the resort I had the feeling that I had more resemblance with a sleazy drag queen than with Heath Ledgers Joker.

Check out our ferry system, Seattle is beautiful from the water, and it's really cheep if you're on foot. Uwajimaya, the Japanese grocery store has great novelty foods. Pagliacchi's has great pizza. It's hard to find bad food at a restaurant in Seattle, as long as you stick to local places and avoid national chains. The Seattle Art Museum is nice, but the Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum are a lot more experience for your dollar. The weather really isn't as bad as everyone says. If it rains for five minutes in the morning, and clears up in the afternoon, it still counts as a rainy day, so the numbers are kinda inflated. There are so many awesome parks all throughout this city: Woodland, Gasworks, the Sculpture Garden downtown, Seattle also has both a Japanese and Chinese garden.

Hi Mark, i think you're missing a few things. I don't see any reasons why I can't simply use .local .corp as a internal root ad top level domain name. What If I have a single forest single domain architecture and dividing AD based on location via OUs. It does make sense to have something like comapny.corp for the root ad domain and internal dns records like cz.company.corp, at.company.corp, com.company.corp instead of com.company.com. ??? And internal users are usually visiting company websites through internal dns records, that's what split dns is about. I think this post is completely useless, if somebody use .local tld it's for a reason !!!\n\n 1. It seems you've missed almost the entire point of everything I've said.\n\n 1. I'm talking about single domain forests, which is the preferred architecture in almost all cases. Empty forest roots were. A bad idea of the past.\n\n 2. If you don't use split DNS, you don't need to maintain internal DNS records for internal sites. If your public DNS is company.com, but your AD is ad.company.com, you don't need to keep records for company.com internally and externally. It's fewer DNS records to curate, which is a win for everyone.\n\n 3. If someone uses .local, it's because they think there is a reason, but they don't actually know what it is. I have yet to hear a single good reason to do it other than \"I always have\" which is never a good reason to do anything.\n\n If you disagree, I'd love to here specific technical points. As it is, your current post adds very little to the conversation.\n\n 61. Great post. I inherited an SBS 2003 server many years ago and even back then the sys admin had the sense not to use .local\n\n 62.

I would like to users only have to know a single namespace (e.g., mail.company.com) to access their data, regardless of where they are connecting.

My issue is how to keep configuration simple for my users.\n\n Thanks !\n\n 1. If you want, you can split-brain by creating a company.com zone in your AD DNS. You don't have to name your AD \"company.com\" to do this. Or you can just have the users use the public \"company.com\" zone to connect to the mail infrastructure.\n\n 63.

Whatever works!\n\n 1. It sounds like you and your daughter have found the perfect way of managing her meltdowns. I know it\u2019s hard to watch and sounds scary but for me, it\u2019s a part of life and one that I\u2019ve learned to accept as necessary (or at least unavoidable). It really did improve quite a bit once adolescence was past, though you\u2019re right about there being a fine line between learning to manage the meltdowns vs. learning to hide them.\n\n 3. I always dread the questions,\u201dIs there anything I can do?\u201d and \u201cDo you want to talk?\u201d No and No! I fight the headbanging impulse. I see myself doing it in my mind and it brings some relief. I feel when meltdowns are imminent. The pressure in my head continuely builds. Sometimes it feels like there is some creature trying to claw its way out of my brain. I can\u2019t seem to focus and my memory is for garbage. When I get like this, I hide and go into shut down mode. I think of it as rebooting myself. One day is not always enough, but I can only take what I can get.\n\n I know exactly what you mean when you wrote about implosions. I just want to be left alone, but someone sitting quietly next to me is fine. If I am not left alone, the explosions happen (normally in front of family members) and I get the question, \u201cWhy are you so mad at me?\u201d Why can\u2019t people read my nonverbal cues? The answer is the same reason why I have trouble reading theirs. Not only do I speak a different language (aspie), I also have different nonverbal cues.\n\n After I get control of myself, I then feel that I have to explain my behavior, especially to my kids. Trying to find the words is not always easy and I feel so guilty and embarassed for coming unglued in front of people. I wish I could just hold up a sign that warned people of imminent danger and they would know not to ask questions and give me quiet time.\n\n 1. Oh yes, I\u2019ve used the imagined headbanging trick to keep myself from actually doing it. It\u2019s amazing that it works so well. I also really feel your pain about being embarrassed when you meltdown in front of your family. It\u2019s rough to share something so painful and traumatizing.\n\n It\u2019s interesting that you sometimes need more than a day to recover. If I shutdown (withdraw/dissociate from the world around me), sometimes one day isn\u2019t enough to work it through but a full-on meltdown usually works itself out pretty quickly for me.\n\n Thank you for sharing your experiences here. It\u2019s very reassuring to see that others experience and feel something similar.\n\n 4. I don\u2019t find that my meltdowns have a trigger either. I feel that they are usually the end product of a series of frustrations \u2013 typically happening during an argument when I have to explain things I can\u2019t explain. For me it\u2019s like tsunami of fury and hurt; I don\u2019t want to injure myself but I do throw things, bang doors etc. and once I\u2019m calmer I am a skin picker and that really calms me the rest of the way down. Argh, just talking about it knowing that this is what my kids see feels awful. I think the worst thing is that people often think that if you talk it out it, it will resolve itself. We are a nation of talkers. I remember reading in a linguistic anthropology class about a Native American tribe where the care for someone who was suffering from some extreme emotion such as grief or rage was to just be there but not talk. To have them feel like they aren\u2019t alone, but not to ever impose your presence on them. An awesome way of dealing with things, I thought.\n\n 1. Wow, the idea of being with someone without talking during an emotional crisis sounds perfect. My need for talking during or after a meltdown is slim to none. I wonder if talking is actually a way for the person doing the comforting to feel better? Sitting silently by has to be harder for most people (though it\u2019s my first and often only instinct when someone else is upset). Also, I\u2019ve been a skin picker on and off since childhood. I was shocked to discover that it\u2019s a form of stimming.\n\n 1. Skin picking\u2026stimming??? ha! Well that explains it! I\u2019ve moved on to picking the skin on my scalp\u2013not good, it bleeds. I knew I started doing it more when I began to get stressed, but hadn\u2019t thought about it as stimming until now. But\u2013yes you are right, it certainly is, isn\u2019t it?\n\n 1. I was just wondering if skin picking was considered a stim! I tend to pick at the skin of my neck. I feel like it\u2019s such a bad habit, but I\u2019ve done it since I was a kid. Also, picking at eyebrows, eyelashes, face.\n\n 1. I started skin picking in adolescence, which seems to be the case for a lot of people on the spectrum. I\u2019ve been able to break the habit at times but it\u2019ll come back under severe stress and I find it really really hard to stop.\n\n 1. Would a somewhat compulsive cracking of knickles and joints be a form of stimming too? My mom always gets mad at me when I do it but I can\u2019t really stop and it\u2019s only very occasionally when I\u2019m not stressed, but every minute or so when I am in a stressful situation. Fingers, neck, back, elbows, knees, wrists, sternum, shoulders, whatever joint it is that I can crack will do fine. My right wrist can almost always be cracked, even many times in a row, so that\u2019s nice.\n\n 1. Me too!!! I make my poor head bleed someone\u2019s! I\u2019ve never heard anyone else admit this and never knew it was a \u201cthing\u201d until just recently as I\u2019ve been learning about my diagnosis.\n\n 5. I really, really struggle to believe that I didn\u2019t do it and that I shouldn\u2019t try to make it better\u2026 I know I\u2019m a needy bitch but I feel abandoned when my partner shuts down.\n Note to self: Shut up!!\n\n 1. Aw, I know it must be hard to wait it out. My husband often tries to make it better, with little success. In some way, the more he tries the worse I feel because it\u2019s as if I\u2019m letting him down with my inability to respond to his effort to help me. We aspies are not an easy lot to live with. \ud83d\ude42\n\n 6. I would have to agree with you, Terra, about how that Native American tribe you mentioned cared for someone experiencing extreme emotions. Just having someone sit there with you, but having no pressure to talk would be awesome. When a person is ready to talk, then they should feel free to talk, but on there own terms.\n\n 7. That is a really, really good description \u2013 as drafty as it is. A systematic overview over something that is messy, chaotic, and wordless and it beautifully describes the other side of it \u2013 That it isn\u2019t ONLY bad, but also a relief and necessary in order to move on. (I also love your timeline-graph btw:-)\n\n\n That is very accurate\u2026 The trigger is usually a relatively minor event (although not always) that brings me over a tipping point and into a \u2018red zone\u2019 where everything erupts & all stability comes crashing down. It happens to me very seldom at my current age, and I have never used the term \u2018meltdowns\u2019. I\u2019ve called it \u2018break downs\u2019 (although I never talk about it) and did wonder if it is the same as \u2018meltdowns\u2019. Based on your description, it sounds very similar. I\u2019ll withdraw urgently to as far & invisible away from people as possible. If I am home typically to my room, curl up along the wall, may rock and wriggle just trying to contain & bear the unbearable sensations of intense emotional & physical stress & chaos. I tend to bite my hand or finger very hard (head banging has also happened, but that\u2019s something I try really hard to not do due to risk of damaging the brain) to distract myself and because it helps. It gives a sense of short term relief that enables me to breathe & stay sane under it all. I know self harm is bad. I had serious self harm behaviour problems when I was young, leaving scars I still have and am embarrassed about. However, I don\u2019t think self harm behaviour is totally avoidable, because the sense of relief is necessary in some situations (an act of self-preservation). Biting one\u2019s hand or fingers doesn\u2019t leave any permanent marks, in fact marks disappear within a few minutes, which is", "base_doc": "erty stage in that she has stopped being quite so volatile or at least is managing to control (or hide) it a little better.

The answer is the same reason why I have trouble reading theirs. Not only do I speak a different language (aspie), I also have different nonverbal cues.\n\n After I get control of myself, I then feel that I have to explain my behavior, especially to my kids. Trying to find the words is not always easy and I feel so guilty and embarassed for coming unglued in front of people. I wish I could just hold up a sign that warned people of imminent danger and they would know not to ask questions and give me quiet time.\n\n 1. Oh yes, I\u2019ve used the imagined headbanging trick to keep myself from actually doing it. It\u2019s amazing that it works so well. I also really feel your pain about being embarrassed when you meltdown in front of your family. It\u2019s rough to share something so painful and traumatizing.\n\n It\u2019s interesting that you sometimes need more than a day to recover. If I shutdown (withdraw/dissociate from the world around me), sometimes one day isn\u2019t enough to work it through but a full-on meltdown usually works itself out pretty quickly for me.\n\n Thank you for sharing your experiences here. It\u2019s very reassuring to see that others experience and feel something similar.\n\n 4. I don\u2019t find that my meltdowns have a trigger either. I feel that they are usually the end product of a series of frustrations \u2013 typically happening during an argument when I have to explain things I can\u2019t explain. For me it\u2019s like tsunami of fury and hurt; I don\u2019t want to injure myself but I do throw things, bang doors etc. and once I\u2019m calmer I am a skin picker and that really calms me the rest of the way down. Argh, just talking about it knowing that this is what my kids see feels awful. I think the worst thing is that people often think that if you talk it out it, it will resolve itself. We are a nation of talkers. I remember reading in a linguistic anthropology class about a Native American tribe where the care for someone who was suffering from some extreme emotion such as grief or rage was to just be there but not talk. To have them feel like they aren\u2019t alone, but not to ever impose your presence on them. An awesome way of dealing with things, I thought.\n\n 1. Wow, the idea of being with someone without talking during an emotional crisis sounds perfect. My need for talking during or after a meltdown is slim to none. I wonder if talking is actually a way for the person doing the comforting to feel better? Sitting silently by has to be harder for most people (though it\u2019s my first and often only instinct when someone else is upset). Also, I\u2019ve been a skin picker on and off since childhood. I was shocked to discover that it\u2019s a form of stimming.\n\n 1. Skin picking\u2026stimming??? ha! Well that explains it! I\u2019ve moved on to picking the skin on my scalp\u2013not good, it bleeds. I knew I started doing it more when I began to get stressed, but hadn\u2019t thought about it as stimming until now. But\u2013yes you are right, it certainly is, isn\u2019t it?\n\n 1. I was just wondering if skin picking was considered a stim! I tend to pick at the skin of my neck. I feel like it\u2019s such a bad habit, but I\u2019ve done it since I was a kid. Also, picking at eyebrows, eyelashes, face.\n\n 1. I started skin picking in adolescence, which seems to be the case for a lot of people on the spectrum. I\u2019ve been able to break the habit at times but it\u2019ll come back under severe stress and I find it really really hard to stop.\n\n 1. Would a somewhat compulsive cracking of knickles and joints be a form of stimming too? My mom always gets mad at me when I do it but I can\u2019t really stop and it\u2019s only very occasionally when I\u2019m not stressed, but every minute or so when I am in a stressful situation. Fingers, neck, back, elbows, knees, wrists, sternum, shoulders, whatever joint it is that I can crack will do fine. My right wrist can almost always be cracked, even many times in a row, so that\u2019s nice.\n\n 1. Me too!!! I make my poor head bleed someone\u2019s! I\u2019ve never heard anyone else admit this and never knew it was a \u201cthing\u201d until just recently as I\u2019ve been learning about my diagnosis.\n\n 5. I really, really struggle to believe that I didn\u2019t do it and that I shouldn\u2019t try to make it better\u2026 I know I\u2019m a needy bitch but I feel abandoned when my partner shuts down.\n Note to self: Shut up!!\n\n 1. Aw, I know it must be hard to wait it out. My husband often tries to make it better, with little success. In some way, the more he tries the worse I feel because it\u2019s as if I\u2019m letting him down with my inability to respond to his effort to help me. We aspies are not an easy lot to live with. \ud83d\ude42\n\n 6. I would have to agree with you, Terra, about how that Native American tribe you mentioned cared for someone experiencing extreme emotions. Just having someone sit there with you, but having no pressure to talk would be awesome. When a person is ready to talk, then they should feel free to talk, but on there own terms.\n\n 7. That is a really, really good description \u2013 as drafty as it is. A systematic overview over something that is messy, chaotic, and wordless and it beautifully describes the other side of it \u2013 That it isn\u2019t ONLY bad, but also a relief and necessary in order to move on. (I also love your timeline-graph btw:-)\n\n\n That is very accurate\u2026 The trigger is usually a relatively minor event (although not always) that brings me over a tipping point and into a \u2018red zone\u2019 where everything erupts & all stability comes crashing down. It happens to me very seldom at my current age, and I have never used the term \u2018meltdowns\u2019. I\u2019ve called it \u2018break downs\u2019 (although I never talk about it) and did wonder if it is the same as \u2018meltdowns\u2019. Based on your description, it sounds very similar. I\u2019ll withdraw urgently to as far & invisible away from people as possible. If I am home typically to my room, curl up along the wall, may rock and wriggle just trying to contain & bear the unbearable sensations of intense emotional & physical stress & chaos. I tend to bite my hand or finger very hard (head banging has also happened, but that\u2019s something I try really hard to not do due to risk of damaging the brain) to distract myself and because it helps. It gives a sense of short term relief that enables me to breathe & stay sane under it all. I know self harm is bad. I had serious self harm behaviour problems when I was young, leaving scars I still have and am embarrassed about. However, I don\u2019t think self harm behaviour is totally avoidable, because the sense of relief is necessary in some situations (an act of self-preservation). Biting one\u2019s hand or fingers doesn\u2019t leave any permanent marks, in fact marks disappear within a few minutes, which is long before I come out and face anyone, anyway.

The syrup can simmer but it shouldn't boil.\n\nPour your syrup into a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, and keep the closed jar in the fridge.\n\nIf you did things right your syrup won't crystallize (too much sugar - that is, you evaporated off too much water) during the first few months, nor will it ferment (too much water).\n\nIt's best to use a small pan for this, as it's easy to evaporate off too much liquid in a large pan while you wait for the sugar to dissolve.\n\nAlso, don't let things evaporate until you have less than 2 dl left.

I think we can expect that people will look at throwing money at content providers in order to try to play catch up. In order to still be attractive to all of our partners, biz svcs, advertising, and content, we must find new ways of adding value. That new way is via proprietary software\n\nWe have always said that software would be the last thing we added . We have taken this tact because there were so many other variables that were still evolving.

We have reached the point now where our key value adds and differentiation have to come from software we produce in house.\n\n\nWe have to be able to demonstrate to our partners that our 4 years of experience have given us the base upon which to build applications that create unique opportunities . Our competition is falling into a trap thinking that internet based radio is a key offering. The real key offering is monetizing all digital offerings, regardless of whether its audio/video/flash or\u00a0 ? on the outside and pushing down costs so that everything we do can happen in a lights out , no touch environment driven by software.\n\nMy feeling is that going forward , our biggest challenges will be\n\n 1.

Cover, turn heat down, let simmer for 20 minutes.\nLet cool, strain liquid into a measuring jar while pressing all the goodness out of the herb. Clean your pan and pour the liquid back. Put the pan back on the stove, without a lid, and let the liquid evaporate slowly on low low heat.\nAdd the sugar when you have only 2 dl liquid left. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. The syrup can simmer but it shouldn't boil.\n\nPour your syrup into a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, and keep the closed jar in the fridge.\n\nIf you did things right your syrup won't crystallize (too much sugar - that is, you evaporated off too much water) during the first few months, nor will it ferment (too much water).\n\nIt's best to use a small pan for this, as it's easy to evaporate off too much liquid in a large pan while you wait for the sugar to dissolve.\n\nAlso, don't let things evaporate until you have less than 2 dl left. A syrup made with 1 dl simmered-down liquid that's then brought back to 2 dl by adding water tastes like it should: ghastly. Check every half hour until you have 3 (or so) dl left, then check every 10 minutes.\n\nThat peppermint-hyssop-thyme syrup really is tasty. Mmmm.\n\nRelated entries: Elecampane root - Elderflower syrup - Sweet flag syrup\n\n\nYou could also add some echinacea to this cough syrup to help make it more effective.\n\nMain menu 2<|endoftext|>Found this as I was cleaning up some backups from almost 15 years ago. \u00a0THought it would be interesting to let people see what my goals were for our merger with Yahoo back then.\n\nStrategic Issues for Yahoo Broadcasting Group\n\nJune 18th 1999\n\nGeneral Strategic Issues:\n\nHistorically we have built value by adding content, expanding our network, building new business products, whether biz svc or advertising, before anyone else.\u00a0 Because we were first for all of these , we had a huge advantage and there was not a significant cost beyond hardware , people and bandwidth to accomplish these.\n\nI think we are getting past this stage, as an industry. I think we can expect that people will look at throwing money at content providers in order to try to play catch up. In order to still be attractive to all of our partners, biz svcs, advertising, and content, we must find new ways of adding value. That new way is via proprietary software\n\nWe have always said that software would be the last thing we added . We have taken this tact because there were so many other variables that were still evolving. From software being re-genned every 3 months from MicroSoft and Real Networks, the network, and learning what we can sell and what customers wanted to buy. We have reached the point now where our key value adds and differentiation have to come from software we produce in house.\n\n\nWe have to be able to demonstrate to our partners that our 4 years of experience have given us the base upon which to build applications that create unique opportunities . Our competition is falling into a trap thinking that internet based radio is a key offering. The real key offering is monetizing all digital offerings, regardless of whether its audio/video/flash or\u00a0 ? on the outside and pushing down costs so that everything we do can happen in a lights out , no touch environment driven by software.\n\nMy feeling is that going forward , our biggest challenges will be\n\n 1.

The West needs to convince Assad that he cannot win, by Tobias Borck\n\nThe war in Syria has to end in a political solution. This is one of the very few things that most members of the international community agree on. In his recent speech at West Point, US President Barack Obama made clear that that \u201cno military solution that can eliminate the terrible suffering any time soon.\u201d[i] The Russian Foreign Ministry agrees the lack of any progress on a political settlement of the war only \u201cresults in more deaths and suffering in Syria every day.\u201d[ii] The Speaker of Iran\u2019s parliament, Ali Lrijani, emphasises the need for \u201cnegotiations and dialogue,\u201d[iii] and UK Foreign Secretary William Hague thinks that all sides need to \u201creach an inclusive political settlement that takes into account the needs and aspirations of all Syria\u2019s communities.\u201d[iv]\n\n\nA political solution to the war in Syria is of course not a new idea. Neither is the apparent consensus within the international community that it is the only viable option to end the bloodshed. Peace initiatives, talks, and talks of talks are a constant by-product of the war. Nevertheless, it took almost three years just to get representatives from the regime and the opposition to sit down together in the same room at the UN in Geneva. For a few days in January and February 2014 there was a small glimmer of hope. It was quickly extinguished, though, and Lakhdar Brahimi, the UN\u2019s chairman of the negotiations, apologised to the Syrian people that the talks hadn\u2019t \u201chelped them very much.\u201d[v]\n\n\nIn the months since the Geneva conference virtually no progress has been made to find a political settlement. Instead around 200 Syrians die every day, adding to the war\u2019s death toll that has already exceeded 150,000.[vi]\n\n\nThere are of course several reasons for why a political solution to the conflict remains elusive. The opposition is famously fragmented and al-Qaeda-affiliated Islamists act as powerful spoilers. Perhaps the most crucial reason, however, is that Bashar al-Assad still thinks that he can win the war. This year, his forces have made some territorial gains, and although a total military victory is nigh on impossible, so is a total defeat. This is why the Geneva talks failed and why no new negotiations have happened. A political solution requires compromises and the Assad regime simply doesn\u2019t see the need to make any at the moment.\n\n\nIf the USA, Russia, the UK, Iran or the rest of the international community are serious about their commitment to a political solution, they will have to convince Assad that there is no alternative to negotiations, that he cannot win the war. There are two options of how this can be done: through diplomatic or military pressure.\n\n\nRussia and Iran hold the key to the diplomatic option. They have the greatest sway over the Assad regime. Without their financial, military and political support, Assad would be in serious trouble. However, this support in the absence of any concessions by the regime in the political process suggests that Russia and Iran are ultimately unwilling to use their leverage over Assad.\n\n\nThe only meaningful concession the regime has made since the beginning of the conflict was the deal to give up its chemical weapons, and Russia played a decisive role in this. But it is also important to remember that the deal was only reached after Obama\u2019s infamous \u2018red line\u2019 had been crossed with the chemical weapons attack in August 2013. Russian pressure on Assad may have been important, but American missiles pointing at Syria surely helped as well.\n\n\n\u201cWhen you fear for your life, then you are going to trade,\u201d[vii] says Alistair Burt, a former UK Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State. To make Assad fear for his life and to bring him to the negotiating table, it may therefore be necessary to renew the military pressure on his regime by stepping up support for the opposition forces.\n\n\nIt is a sad reality that political solutions to end wars often only become possible through temporary escalation. The example of the war in Bosnia Herzegovina demonstrates this. Here, a brutal war raged for three years. All initiatives for a political settlement failed. Then, in 1995, NATO support enabled a Croat-Bosnian alliance to make significant advances against the Bosnian Serbs. However, NATO did not allow a total Croat-Bosnian victory. This would only have resulted in more ethnic cleansing, this time with the Bosnian Serbs as the main victims. Instead all sides were brought together to negotiate and the Dayton Agreement was reached.\n\n\nThe objective of empowering opposition forces in Syria should therefore not be to defeat the Assad regime, but merely to convince him that he cannot win the war. A western military involvement of the same scale as NATO\u2019s Bosnia operation is currently unthinkable in Syria. There is no political will to launch missile strikes, an air campaign, much less a full-scale invasion. However, the USA and its European allies can certainly provide the armed opposition with the military equipment and training it needs to tackle the regime\u2019s tanks and airplanes. In his West Point speech Obama suggested that operations in this direction are already underway.\n\n\nSo far, the Obama administration has been extremely cautious in its military support for the opposition, mainly out of fear that American weapons could fall into the hands of radical Islamists. This risk is of course difficult to eliminate, but it should also not be overstated. One of the main reasons why groups such as al-Nusra and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant have become so influential in Syria is their military effectiveness, not their extremist ideologies. Increasing the military capability of more moderate groups could therefore also limit the influence of the radical Islamist.\n\n\nThe war in Syria has to end in a political solution. Ultimately it of course appears counter-intuitive to feed additional weapons into a war that has already killed so many people. American weapons in the hands of opposition forces will inevitably be used to kill more. But as long as Russian and Iranian influence, for whatever reasons, is not enough to convince Assad to make concessions, it may be the only way to create the conditions for meaningful negotiations.\n\n[i] BBC (2014) \u201cObama West Point Speech in Full with Analysis.\u201d BBC Online, 29 May. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-27606537 [Accessed 31 May 2014].\n\n[ii] Voice of Russia (2014) \u201cRussia Urges Setting of Date for New Round of Syria Talks in Geneva.\u201d Voice of Russia, 15 May. http://voiceofrussia.com/news/2014_05_15/Russia-urges-to-set-date-for-new-round-of-Syria-talks-in-Geneva-0341/ [Accessed 31 May 2014].\n\n[iii] Press TV (2014) \u201cIran Backs Political Solution to Syria: Larijani.\u201d Press TV, 5 May. http://www.presstv.com/detail/2014/05/05/361455/iran-backs-political-solution-to-syria/ [Accessed 31 May 2014].\n\n[iv] Hague, W.

But now we have a Republican governor (inexplicably endorsed by my own faculty union, for all the good that did us), Linda Lingle, who is campaigning hard for Bush/Cheney here and nationally, and the game is afoot.\n\nThe combination of strong labor unions (Hawai'i is still, I think, the most unionized state in the union, so to speak) and a solidly Democratic Japanese American community (the largest ethnicity in the state) has kept this state one of the least contested, most political machine-like in the country.

He saw a dazzling blue light that seemed to illuminate the Maker himself, and within it, stood the angel who now revealed to all of heaven that terrible, incomprehensible, unmatched beauty that Michael had dreaded since the birth of the Archangels. The blue light expelled from within Lucifer buried the golden light of Michael like the brightest star of the universe out-shining the yellow sun.\n\n\u201cWill you not recognize your Lord First Angel, Michael?\u201d It was Gabriel\u2019s voice, and it was calm.\n\nMichael was snapped out of his daze. He looked down at the kneeling Gabriel beside the feet of Lucifer. She held her head high and looked at Michael straight in the eye. Her once gentle maiden eyes were now hard and cold as ice as she gazed into his golden ones, as if daring Michael to challenge the divine verdict.\n\nBut despite everything, Michael knew his duty, and in it, his defeat. He had failed the divine Test, and now he knew well to submit and show humility. So he stepped forward, bent his knee, and bowed his proud golden head.\n\nLucifer acknowledged none of this. He seemed to have neither seen his seven sibling archangels kneeling at his feet, nor the rest of the heavenly assembly looking upon him with great awe and astonishment. His down-casted sad eyes seemed to have been looking inward in unsung grief. But as the ground started to rumble and shake, and heavenly chorus rang out in a fit of raging glory. Lucifer finally looked up. Not far from where he stood flashes of aurora beam shot from the tallest sky of heaven, fell into one place and clashed, molding together into an illuminating dais.\n\nIt was the Throne of the First Angel, as it has been decreed by the Lord. And the celestial chorus sung Lucifer to go to it, filling heaven with his praises, and praises of the Maker for His Will.\n\nStill solemn, Lucifer walked slowly toward his throne. The heavenly hosts stepped aside, forming a path to the dais formed from the lights of aurora, and guided their First Angel with their celestial songs of praises, then engulfing him. Some reached out to touch his exalted raiment with deep veneration as he passed amongst them.\n\nBut when Lucifer was in front of the throne, he baffled all when he did not sit upon it. The heavenly hosts saw him simply standing before it instead, deep in thought until the heavenly singing slowly began to die down. When it was completely silent, and the angels waited for Lucifer to take his rightful place upon the throne.\n\nLucifer reached out his right hand and lightly touched the dais. The lights from the dais trembled violently and the ground began to shake once more. One by one the aurora rays from the dais dissolved and darkened, until the dais that was once made of light became a piece of unremarkable grey stone, smooth and hard.\n\nA shocking gasp broke out from the angelic hosts. But before any of the angels could react, the ground trembled once more. Beneath the grey stone arose little green sprouts. And they grew, taller and taller into green vines. The vines elongated and crawled towards the grey throne. Upon it the vines weaved as threads into web that covered the stone. As the angels looked on, more sprouts sprang forth from the ground beneath what once was the gloriously lit throne. They shot high into the sky and grew into great trees. Branches grew from the trees, stacking layers upon layers of leaves.\n\nThe angels scattered in great confusion as the springing green plants expanded the area, eventually surrounding their Lord First Angel out of their view. The trees aggravated exponentially in number. When the ground finally cease to shake, the heavenly hosts were assembled before a vast, dark forest.\n\nAnd so this forest became the dwelling place that Lucifer had chosen for himself. This was where he would bring his charges, the most despairing of the poor human souls to be healed. He finally came upon the throne and lay himself upon the bed of vines. Above him high beyond the tree leaves a starry sky lit. It was the sky that he often gazed upon, together with his beloved Lilith. But it was not a common starry sky that was often seen by mortals on earth. The countless stars shone with a sour-searing brilliance and petrifying proximity that one might either touch them or flee from them. They were stars that burned and exploded while Lucifer had watched the physical university at the bottom edge of heaven. And he remembered them, their unspeakable beauty and their splendor.

One could also take Person X and Person Y as the Sensitivity test can be done by every person. The intensity of the information signals felt by participants solely depends on the difference in the energetic potential of the participating subjects. The balance between energetic potential and the programme for cellular regulation decide our physical, mental and social well being.\n\nIn my clinical practice the sensitivity test is the first and preparatory diagnostical step to examine the threshhold for sensing FRONTODUALE INFORMATION FIELDS . The test is standardised and has already been performed ca. 2000 times.\nThe sensitivity test consists of several individual tests. The patient is seated on a swivel chair, facing the doctor, his arms hanging down in a relaxed position by his side. The practitioner now tests whether the patient feels on the inner sides of his spread hands \"prickly\" information signals (time delayed in a sinus curve), or warmth and cold. If the answer is positive the patient is turned by 180 Degrees, i.e. away from the doctor. If the information signals are disappearing now, the patient can be classified as \"sensitive\". We are looking ere at a basic instinct, which warns the prey of the frontal approach of the predator. See: TV- ATLASMEDICINE\n\nAfter having been questioned about the information signals the patient is asked about changes in his sense of gravity ( sense of gravity= a kind of \"ebb and flow\" of the water column of the body ). When he is facing the doctor the patient mostly reports an increase in gravity (depressive information direction), this changes to a decrease in gravity after a turn by 180 degrees i.e. away from the practitioner. The patient describes this regularly as \"lightness\" (euphoric information direction). In rare cases is the perception of the patient inverse.\nTests also include the information flow on the sides (45 degrees). The patient senses the difference between the dominant and sensitive side of the body, i.e. he realises which side he has to protect in relation to information signals and which side can protect him. If the questions are repeated at short intervals the intensity of patient reactions diminishes.\n\ndominant position \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 frontal \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 sensitive position\n\nA final functional test is performed by the patient himself. He put his right hand on the left knee and his left hand on the right knee ensuring that a space is kept between the lower arms. The resulting deep warmth in one of the two knees indicates which side of the body dominates regarding the regulatory energy. The increased warmth in the knee of the less dominant side of the body is induced by the energy from the hand of the dominant side of the body.\n\n\nThe CHILD- SYNDROME from the perspective of human cybernetics:\n\nThe dominant and the sensitive half of the human body are bilaterally regulated by two autonomous programs of self-healing. The self-healing potential of the cell depends on the balance between the regulatory energy of the cell and the regulation program of the cell.\nThe biological cybernetic imbalance between the two halves of the body is natural. Nature provides for a certain biological room for maneuver regarding the regulation of energy. Only when this range is not maintained will the human body become sick.\n\nThe CHILD SYNDROME represents an extreme case of imbalance.\n\n\nCHILD stands for \"Congenital Hemidysplasia with Ichthyosiform N\u00e4vus and Limb Defects\", Features of this syndrome are a one sided hypoplasy of the brain,the lung, the heart and the skeleton together with an ipsilateral inflammatory naevus of the skin.

You would think that he must have had the worst rookie debut in the history of the NFL last year, threw way more INTs than TDS and just crumbled under pressure. He must have shown up late to practices, didn\u2019t work hard, and had an entitled attitude. He had to have done something to rub people the wrong way. But the fact is none of those statements are true, except the last one.\n\n\u00a0Tim Tebow definitely had a huge following before he ever even put on a NFL jersey. He was something of football folklore in the Southeast, winning two National Championships and becoming the first sophomore to ever win the Heisman trophy while at Florida. As well as setting a BCS record in his final game at Florida in the Sugar Bowl against undefeated Cincinnati throwing for over 500 yds and breaking Vince Young\u2019s BCS record for most combined yards in a BCS bowl game. These were the kinds of things Florida fans came to expect from there QB they often referred to as superman. And then you have the stories of young Tebow in High School refusing to come off the field after breaking his leg and running a 20 yd TD on it instead.

You would think that he must have had the worst rookie debut in the history of the NFL last year, threw way more INTs than TDS and just crumbled under pressure. He must have shown up late to practices, didn\u2019t work hard, and had an entitled attitude. He had to have done something to rub people the wrong way. But the fact is none of those statements are true, except the last one.\n\n\u00a0Tim Tebow definitely had a huge following before he ever even put on a NFL jersey. He was something of football folklore in the Southeast, winning two National Championships and becoming the first sophomore to ever win the Heisman trophy while at Florida. As well as setting a BCS record in his final game at Florida in the Sugar Bowl against undefeated Cincinnati throwing for over 500 yds and breaking Vince Young\u2019s BCS record for most combined yards in a BCS bowl game. These were the kinds of things Florida fans came to expect from there QB they often referred to as superman. And then you have the stories of young Tebow in High School refusing to come off the field after breaking his leg and running a 20 yd TD on it instead. There is a video of that run and an x-ray of his leg after the game on youtube, it was a nasty break.

The entire LOTR trilogy only cost a bit more than this single film. This wasn't a cheapie film at all. The numbers prove that, and my opinion is it looked like the money was on screen. In fact, this film overwhelmed me with a sense of epic awesomeness I haven't felt since Avatar, Dead Man's Chest and King Kong 2005 (not saying those films are masterpieces, just that they both had set pieces that were big in idea and execution).\n\n \u2022 April 30, 2012, 7:27 p.m. CST\n\n Moosemalloy that is.\n\n by Kill List Hammertime\n\n \u2022 April 30, 2012, 7:31 p.m. CST\n\n the first 30 minutes are awkward but ...\n\n by julia\n\n but i think that feeling relies on the expectations you have since the movie starts.

The Santa Monica Mountains are a traverse mountain range that stretches from the Pacific Ocean 64 kilometers east to the flood plain where the LA River is fed by the Verdugo Wash. The southern side of the eastern end of the range is almost always referred to as the Hollywood Hills. The central portion lies within LA's westside and the foothills are home to some of LA's most affluent neighborhoods (e.g. Bel Air, Beverly Hills and Pacific Palisades). To the north, separated by the mountains, is the San Fernando Valley. Technically, the Channel Islands are also part of the range, although they're separated from the mainland by water.
Pendersleigh & Sons' Official Map of the Santa Monica Mountains
The western portion of the Santa Monica Mountains separates the Conejo Valley from Malibu and the neighboring communities that make up the Los Angeles district known as the Santa Monica Mountains area. The district borders Ventura County to the west and north, the San Fernando Valley to the northeast and the Westside to the east.

Some notable changes to the Ghadr from the Shahab-3 are: reductions of the rear fins\u2019 size, weight reduction, smaller warhead mass, and a new guidance system.[1] The Ghadr has a maximum range of 1,950KM. It is a two-stage missile with the first stage using liquid fuel and the second stage using solid fuel. The missile is currently made to carry a conventional warhead but is capable of being armed with a chemical or nuclear warhead as well. Iran reengineered the nose of the missile to give it a \u201cbaby bottle-shaped nose cone\u201d.[2] This new shaped nose allows the warhead to reenter with greater speed. It also gives the warhead the capability to detonate in air above its target.\n\nThe Ghadr is road mobile and has a thirty-minute set up time compared to the three-hour set up time of the Shahab-3.[3] It is also believed to be generally more maneuverable than its predecessor. It is believed that Iran started experimenting with the two-stage missile in 2004 as a start to the development of the Ghadr-1. The first noted test was in November of 2015.\n\nStrategic Implications\n\nThe Strategic implications are still very similar to that of the Shahab-3. Although, this missile has more consequences because of", "base_doc": " focus on just myself and joy of seeing beautiful scenery. I stood at the Oakes Hotel beside the Fallsview Casino. I had such a beautiful view of the falls and the USA Side of Niagara and I saw the Seneca Casino in Niagara Falls USA. It was beaming with so many lights and everything. I really enjoyed seeing that at night. The Falls would beam with different colours and would then be shut off at 11pm. simply gorgeous. Then after we went to the USA Side both days and just went to the Seneca Casino, and drove around the town and wow you can sure tell your in the USA. It is a bit different with the roads, and the streets. A lot of the houses around there are so old and some have been boarded up. Craziness. They need to make the USA Niagara Falls side a lot more appealing and better for tourists. They should include a lot more things and build on the USA side and just get things rolling.\n\nSo Much is happening on the Canadian Side. Then afterwards for both evenings, hung out with one of my very dear friends who resides there and we just had a blast. Now what made me laugh was I always see the Seneca Casino, Cellino & Barnes, Paddock, Fucillo, Basil Ford, Kenneth Hiller, Freedman, The Airport Plaza Jeweler commercials and when I happened to turn the TV on at the hotel and these commercials came on, I just died laughing because I see these commercials all the time and I was in their areas and I couldn\u2019t stop laughing. Its an inside joke that I have with these. Well, I am back and relaxed\u2026. I was almost late writing my blog for today and finally I did\u2026.\n\n\nMy Travel\u2019s Of 2012, Got More Exciting! Niagara Falls, Canada!\n\nI am super happy to announce that I will add Niagara Falls, Canada\u00a0into the list of my Travel this year. I have been to Niagara Falls Many times and I just love the beautiful scenery and all the exciting happenings there. I have been on Clifton Hill\u2019s attractions like Ripley\u2019s Believe it Or Not, Guiness World Records, Haunted House, SkyWheel, Then dined at the huge Burger King. Niagara Falls is a fun and relaxing place. Now, I cannot even begin to describe the food there. Its incredible. I remember going into Zappi\u2019s Pizza where not only do they serve Pizza\u2019s but a whole assortment of Italian foods, and other things. I remember getting the Chicken Parmesean, it was so tasty that I even was about to eat the plate too LOL. There is IHOP on the Canadian Side, as well as CopaCabana, Hopefully I got the name right. Its across from Imperial Hotel. Now I went to Swiss Chalet the last time I was there and\u00a0the portions were humungus. 2 people can finish one plate. Well, depending on what you get as well.\u00a0There is a Hershey Chocolate Store toward the end of the strip by the old casino Niagara.\n\nNiagara Falls offers a wide variety of things to do for the Adults and Kids too. Niagara Falls has several hotels on the New Fallsview Casino side and the other side where the Four Seasons and Hilton Are by the Skylon Tower, As well as near the Casino Niagara which is called the Old Casino but you can still get in there. The Skylon Tower is quite similar to the CN Tower in Toronto, but this one is much smaller and the tower pod is a little bit more wider. Have you been to Niagara Falls? Its beauty is so breath taking.\n\nWe went on the USA Side of it, and There wasn\u2019t much there except the Seneca and a few outlet malls nearby in Buffalo and one on Military Rd I think. There is an Olive Garden Nearby and Wegmans Grocery Store. So we spent about 3-4 hours on the USA Side and decided to head back to Canada where all the action was. Now when we drove around the Niagara Falls, USA Area and county\u2019s I thought of all those Commercials from Buffalo on Lawyers, Hardware Store like Valu, The Jewelry Kiosk, The numerous amounts of Car Dealers. LOL I was re-enacting all those commercials. Fun times. So Now when we got back to The Canadian side, we decided to just take a stroll around Niagara falls, went right down to the falls to see the beauty. At night time in summertimes and spring times they light up the falls with different coloured lights, and sometimes they would have fireworks shows, but I believe that is in the summertime. Its so cool. Put Nagara Falls on the map for you if you have never gone. You will have a blast there.<|endoftext|>Amoeblog > Tag > santa monica mountains monica mountains/page1.html Amoeblog posts marked with santa monica mountains.

The missile is currently made to carry a conventional warhead but is capable of being armed with a chemical or nuclear warhead as well. Iran reengineered the nose of the missile to give it a \u201cbaby bottle-shaped nose cone\u201d.[2] This new shaped nose allows the warhead to reenter with greater speed. It also gives the warhead the capability to detonate in air above its target.\n\nThe Ghadr is road mobile and has a thirty-minute set up time compared to the three-hour set up time of the Shahab-3.[3] It is also believed to be generally more maneuverable than its predecessor. It is believed that Iran started experimenting with the two-stage missile in 2004 as a start to the development of the Ghadr-1. The first noted test was in November of 2015.\n\nStrategic Implications\n\nThe Strategic implications are still very similar to that of the Shahab-3. Although, this missile has more consequences because of its redesigned shaped nose. The Ghadr warhead has faster re-entry speeds which increases its ability to pass through missile defense systems.

Characters are already advanced via a prior career; further advancement is close to impossible. Players are then unleashed on an unsuspecting universe where just about anything goes. The reward is being able to step outside the player's current real-life career path, and step into the life of a retired Marine Major (or whatever) seeking his/her fortune in the effectively limitless universe. In a game like Traveller, one is not bound by the normal social conventions and means of accumulating wealth and fame.

The Chaosium systems (including Runequest) rewarded you in the skills that you used during the adventure. This was seen as more realistic, as you are getting on the job training.\n\n However, it is also a positive feedback loop, and we understand pretty well these days that this is a horrid game design feature. It encourages super-specialization and makes game balance extremely difficult. Unless you have a very creative GM, you can easily get parties where players are marginalized in the adventure, because their specialized skill set is not a good match for the scenario.\n\n The D&D system is a compromise. You allow people to make characters with breadth without penalizing their advancement. In the real world, this would happen in training \"off screen\". However, few people want to role play training outside of adventures, unless we are talking about a character ability so significant that obtaining a trainer is a quest in itself. So you make experience fungible and chalk it up to an abstraction.\n\n 17. We need advancement because it drives desire to play the game.\n\n 18. As a player, and the player of a magic-user character especially, I find XP to be my main motivator in the game. I started out pathetically inept, unable to help the party except with the occasional good idea. That was fun enough in itself. Then I hit level 2, and got another spell per day. That was a LOT of fun. Now I'm a complete XP whore, and I love it. A session where I nearly get killed and walk away with 41 xp is enough to make my blood boil; a session where we get lucky, kill something big and bad, and find its treasure trove just makes me happy for days.\n\n The takeaway? DMs may not like XP, or find them realistic enough. Players love them and find in them a reason to play.\n\n 19. Like you, as I grow older I gain more respect for systems in which character advancement is slow and realistic (and like Roger the GS said, quicker improvements that drive character choices could come in social status, networks, and goods - I'd add special knowledge, such as spells or the like). This may also have to do with my increasing preference for a model of gaming in which the game is an event generator (from which events we can tell stories after the fact), rather than a means of modeling the process of traditional fiction.\n\n 20. I think the big reason for XP was so you could take your level 1 bunny-whacker and turn them into a level 20 dragon whacker over the course of many different sessions of whacking bunnies, koblolds, goblins, and other systematic balloons. They're also ideally the carrot vs the stick for good roleplaying (though I'm sure someone somewhere has asked what the XP of the innkeeper they just laid waste to in the inn). That said, i think giving some additional character points that can be used to enhance the character is good for roleplaying. It allows the character to grow in ways that may not have been apparent when creating the character. You may realize that the 2 points you gave your character in Esperanto may be too little on Planet Esperantina, so adding a few more points through the course of adventuring will help make a better game overall.\n\n 21. Since I don't play D&D or like systems very often its difficult for me to say what the best way to handle it in those games would be. Generally I've never liked the idea that XP obtained in combat or looting would grant your Wizard more spells or your Priest more healing.\n\n At the same time I will say that seeing your character improve over time is fun and one of the rewards of a 'game' nature that make RPGs different from sitting around with your friends and telling each other stories. I love story, I love character AND I'm playing a game. Games deal with points and rules. I get it and I agree with it.\n\n I've always used the house rule that you can spend XP points in a skill based system only on skills you've used. Now if you were given an XP bonus for role playing in character or gain a story related bonus, that bonus can only be spent on social skills or abilities reflected in the story. I've also tended to allow training, to gain mini-XP points of a sort that can be cashed in for an increase latter down the road.\n\n Its late, I'm a little bleary eyed and not certain I've explained this correctly. Alas its too late to turn back now...\n\n 22. \"Why do we need XP and advancement at all?\"\n\n Because rewards are an effective way of creating engagement in a game. You can really hook people with multiple different paths of earning rewards so that the player constantly feels like they're making progress, and receives rewards on a relatively frequent, but a bit erratic, schedule. It creates a desire for just one more room, one more door, one more monster, one more level, one more dungeon. D&D does pretty well: you can get XP which builds toward the reward of a new level. You explore, which builds toward finding better items. You earn money, which builds toward buying or creating better items. You finish slay big monsters or finish difficult quests, which hopefully earns renown. A lot of very fun and successful computer RPGs have the exact same mechanics.\n\n It's not the only way to create engagement, but it works. One advantage that even in the hands of a mediocre GM it works okay. Something fuzzy like renown or political advancement (if not mechanically simulated) might not fair so well at the hands of a mediocre GM.\n\n\n In which way? XP and leveling always struck me as running a bit against the literary inspiration. Looking to the stories of Vance, Leiber, Zelazny, Moorcock, and Lovecraft (To take authors both in Appendix N and that I've read), I'm struck by how little the protagonists grow in personal physical power. Such growth is modest, if present at all.\n\n 23. While GURPS doesn't come out and state it as an alternate xp option. It has a rule that 200 hours of learning equals one GURPS point in a skill. That if you doing stuff on the job you are at 1/4 rate so 800 hours on the job will equal 1 skill point.\n\n It would conceivable to have a campaign where you adhere to this strictly. That every 100 days using your skills (8 hours on the job so to speak) you get a skill point. 1/4 of the time or 25 days per point if you spend it training.\n\n My friends talked about this option because the way I referee my Majestic Wilderlands the campaign often goes day by day through the character's lives. Awarding the typical 3 points results characters advancing rapidly in relation to game-time.\n\n It took a few rounds to realize the problem wasn't advancement but how fast it is in relation to the events of the game setting. If the characters took a few years nobody would find it unreasonable to come back 20 or 50 points more than they were. But packing it all into three months of game time felt off.\n\n I don't have anything further to add so far as we haven't tried anything with this yet.\n\n Just food for thought\n\n 24. \"Why do we need XP and advancement at all?\"\n\n I would say that character advancement is the single most important game-design invention that D&D brought to the table. Increasing the power of your playing piece is what makes the game addictive for a wide swath of players, more so than many other aspects (and those other aspects all existed in other types of gaming before RPGs).\n\n You might ask, \"Why does coffee need to be caffeinated?\" or \"Why do cigarettes have to have nicotine?\" They don't, but for many people -- that's the whole point, or close to it, at least (in this case, I hope, in a good way.)

It acts as a directional delineator to keep you from getting confused as you draw in more shapes. Everything above the line will slope upwards, and everything below will slope down. When deciding where to add in your windows and doors, use the eye line as a reference for heights. Imagine a person standing. If the door height slopes down below the eye line, realistically it will be impossible for a person to walk though that door without crouching or hurting\u00a0their neck.

If the door height slopes down below the eye line, realistically it will be impossible for a person to walk though that door without crouching or hurting\u00a0their neck. Unless you are drawing a funhouse style drawing, you will want to pay attention and make sure there is enough head space so you don\u2019t accidentally draw giant people.\n\narchitectural street scene building\nEverything above the eye line slopes up; everything below slopes down. Handy, huh?\n\nStep 3: Add natural elements\n\nAdd in some lush greenery like trees, bushes, planters, and\u00a0flowers.\u00a0You can turn down the opacity of the background to help you visualize how your elements will fit into the scene.\narchitectural street scene trees\n\nStep 4: Add people\n\nAdd life by drawing in outlines of people in your scene. You want to align\u00a0all the heads of the people at eye level to maintain your perspective. Change\u00a0the sizes of the people to create the illusion that some people are closer to you or father away. The smaller people appear to be much farther away that the larger people.\u00a0Be sure to consider the movements of people in a space by adding people who are walking, sitting, or gathering around at a spot.\narchitectural street scene people\n\nStep 5: Blocking \u2014 erase where layers overlap\n\nThis is where working in layers becomes handy. Turn on and layer all your elements and erase lines that overlap. If you are looking for a cleaner sketch, you can\u00a0turn down the opacities of your rough layers and trace over the\u00a0final compositional lines you want to keep.\narchitectural street scene layer\n\nStep 6: Add colour\n\nOnce you are done erasing or tracing, add in shade and shadow and begin to colour your drawing. You can create focal pints by colouring in the specific layer you want to highlight. I personally like to leave the people in white in order for them to stand out and emphasize movement in the architectural street scene.\narchitectural street scene shadow\n\nThe final result\n\nAnd voila!\u00a0I hope this guide makes drawing architectural street scenes a lot easier for you.

Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.\n\nCubic Meters\n\nOne cubic meter is equal to the volume of a cube with each edge measuring one meter.\n\nThe cubic meter, or cubic metre, is the SI derived unit for volume in the metric system. Cubic meters can be abbreviated as , and are also sometimes abbreviated as cu m, CBM, cbm, or MTQ. For example, 1 cubic meter can be written as 1 m\u00b3, 1 cu m, 1 CBM, 1 cbm, or 1 MTQ.\n\nTry our cubic meters calculator to calculate the volume of a space.\n\n\nA liter is a unit of volume equal to 1,000 cubic centimeters.[1] The liter is a special name defined for the cubic decimeter and is exactly equal to the volume of one cubic decimeter.\n\nThe liter is an SI accepted unit for volume for use with the metric system. A liter is sometimes also referred to as a litre. Liters can be abbreviated as l, and are also sometimes abbreviated as L or . For example, 1 liter can be written as 1 l, 1 L, or 1 \u2113.\n\nCubic Meter to Liter Conversion Table\n\nCubic meter measurements converted to liters\nCubic Meters Liters\n0.001 m\u00b3 1 l\n0.002 m\u00b3 2 l\n0.003 m\u00b3 3 l\n0.004 m\u00b3 4 l\n0.005 m\u00b3 5 l\n0.006 m\u00b3 6 l\n0.007 m\u00b3 7 l\n0.008 m\u00b3 8 l\n0.009 m\u00b3 9 l\n0.01 m\u00b3 10 l\n0.02 m\u00b3 20 l\n0.03 m\u00b3 30 l\n0.04 m\u00b3 40 l\n0.05 m\u00b3 50 l\n0.06 m\u00b3 60 l\n0.07 m\u00b3 70 l\n0.08 m\u00b3 80 l\n0.09 m\u00b3 90 l\n0.1 m\u00b3 100 l\n0.2 m\u00b3 200 l\n0.3 m\u00b3 300 l\n0.4 m\u00b3 400 l\n0.5 m\u00b3 500 l\n0.6 m\u00b3 600 l\n0.7 m\u00b3 700 l\n0.8 m\u00b3 800 l\n0.9 m\u00b3 900 l\n1 m\u00b3 1,000 l\n\n\n 1.

Thugs. Psychopaths. And masterminds. These sociopaths are often so diabolically creative and clever, that it becomes virtually impossible for law enforcement to bring these outliers to justice.\n\nInstead of helping the world, criminal masterminds utilize their creative intellect to the detriment of society. Here are four such individuals.\n\nCarl Gugasian\n\nHolding a master\u2019s degree from the prestigious University of Pennsylvania and a PhD from Penn State, Carl Gugasian also received special forces and tactical weapons training during a brief stint in the US Army. Loaded with outstanding academic and armed forces credentials, Gugasian\u2019s potential for a positive societal impact was limitless. Yet, despite all these accolades, Gugasian chose to spend his life robbing banks.\n\nSoon after receiving his doctorate, Gugasian began meticulously planning bank robberies. During that time\u2014on eight separate instances\u2014Gugasian was on the brink of moving forward with his robbery fantasy, but then backed down at the very last minute. On the ninth instance, however, he pushed down his reluctance and went forth with his plan. Using a stolen car as a getaway, Gugasian finally crossed the line into a life of crime. And there was no turning back.\n\nGugasian was notoriously diligent with his planning. He would scout a bank location by first referencing topographical and street maps in local libraries. His goal was to find to a bank in a small town that was close to a wooded area, but also easily accessible to a freeway. After narrowing his search, Gugasian would determine which banks had late autumn and winter closing times. This way, he could escape under cover of darkness.\n\nGugasian would even find a secret location in the woods where he would hide", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 420582, "pt_loc": 101950061, "pt_shuffle_idx": 120885557, "doc_index_f": 189457284, "doc_index_l": 189457287, "offset_f": 769, "offset_l": 408, "pt_injection_pos": 3, "pt_window_offset": 13, "pt_injection_len": 38, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [803, 774, 63, 409]} +{"pt_doc": "She preferred speaking through the microphone more than the bullhorn, because the _ was muffled.\nOption 1: microphone\nOption 2: bullhorn\nAnswer: 2<|endoftext|>, there is one where you can fire missiles from outer space, they just land randomly though and don't really hit anything.\n\n User Info: Bahamut_42\n\n Bahamut_42 (Expert) - 8 years ago 1 0\n 3.

During the last ice age, a not-unsubstantial portion of the world\u2019s water was frozen solid and sitting in the form of an ice cap on the northern extents of the big continents. They extended as far south as Boise Idaho in some places. This caused the sea levels to be much lower than they are today since all that water wasn\u2019t in the sea \u2013 rather, it was sitting on dry land in solid form. During that time, areas like Doggerland would have been under the ice (in fact, being a glacial moraine, Doggerland owes its very existence to the glaciers). However, there was a period of time during the melt-off where the ice had receded enough to expose areas like Doggerland, but not so much as to have created enough water to fill the oceans back up enough to inundate it. Doggerland\u2019s time as dry land was limited the very same day it first saw sunlight. Another very well known example of this phenomenon is the Bering Sea Land bridge between Asia and North America, which is the popular theory for how humans got to North America in the first place.\n\nIt is highly probable that the amount of time it took to melt off enough ice to inundate Doggerland would have been measured in tens of millennia, so for the lifetimes of hundreds and hundreds of generations of humans, it was not temporary dry land, but firm, permanent ground. To us, looking through the lens of history, we see Doggerland as seafloor that was temporarily exposed, but to the people then, Britain wasn\u2019t an island.\n\nAnd, in fact, the sea level rise that inundated Doggerland, which has been occurring for much of the last 15,000 years, continues to this day, and is figured to continue continuing until the next ice age sets in (and we are due for one any day now) .

Howard invites his buddy over to his house all the time. Howard has called them co-pilots of the Millennium Falcon, and they have weekly routines they do together. However, Howard becomes easily distracted and sometimes abandons him, only to be unmindful of any wrongdoing. Sadly, he taught\u00a0Raj his dance moves, and Howard seems to wear off on him, as Raj can be very womanizing and uses slang. He scoffs at Raj when he says something stupid, and has once complained that he's going to end up with swimmer's ear with Raj whispering in his ear, although Sheldon cannot tolerate his moist breath in his ear altogether. Despite the fact that Howard is undeniably obsessed with women, Dr. Beverly Hofstadter, Leonard's mother, says they are in an \"ersatz homosexual marriage\". Amusingly, Raj and Howard have several arguments during the series, in which Raj repeatedly accuses Howard of leaving him for everybody who's only slightly better looking and otherwise assuming the cliche female role in partnership arguments. Season 4 jokingly introduced the possibility of Howard's \"latent homosexual tendencies\" when George Takei appeared as himself in an imaginary conversation with Bernadette and Katee Sackhoff over his relationship status with Bernadette, but Howard quickly denied it. Before Howard met Bernadette, it was implied that he called Raj\u00a0\"honey\", and Debbie Wolowitz is relieved when he has a girl over to the house. In \"The Septum Deviation\", Raj has dinner with Howard and Bernie is worried about what to get his parents for their fortieth wedding anniversary. Later Raj gets a call from his father that he has moved out and that his parents are getting divorce lawyers. Howard is visiting him and sympathizes with him. His discussion of their not communicating together causes a fight between Howard and Bernie. In \"The Anxiety Optimization\", Howard starts a game called \"Emily or Cinnamon\" where people have to guess whether statements Raj has made are for the woman or the dog he loves. Emily thinks Raj's sensitive nature is very sexy. In \"The 2003 Approximation\", Raj and Howard form a band call \"Footprints on the Moon\", when Stuart is looking for live music in his store. They write a song about Indiana Jones taking on Thor which is a cool song, but not easy to dance to. In \"The Confidence Erosion\", Raj takes a break from his friendship with Howard when he realizes that his lack of confidence is in part due to Howard's constant demeaning jokes. He changes his look, gains confidence and gets a job at the Griffith Observatory. After his show, a young woman even asks him to coffee. In \"The Celebration Reverberation\", Raj is still mad at Howard who still gets him to plan Halley's first birthday party. Both end up in Halley's bounce house taking out their frustrations on each other. The house is so much fun that they mend their friendship while bouncing around. In \"The Planetarium Collision\" Howard gets invited by Raj's boss to help host a planetarium show since he is an astronaut. Raj is worried that Howard will take over the show.

Howard told Penny that both he and Raj liked Leonard. Leonard has helped him quite often, and Howard faced an allergic reaction partly to provide Leonard's first birthday party. Though, Howard finds Leonard's worries over Penny humorous sometimes, and they like to post embarrassing things about each other on YouTube and Twitter. The two of them made a pact that if either one of them ever got a girlfriend, the other one would set up the single guy with one of her girlfriends.

During the time when Sheldon considered who to jettison from his circle of friends and said critically that Howard doesn't have a Ph.D. and isn't available to play video games during the Jewish High Holidays, Howard seemed pleased that he might be freed from Sheldon's friendship, only to watch as Sheldon then ordered a horrified Raj out of the circle of friends.

To try to improve their relationship, Howard invites Sheldon to join him on a trip to Houston where he is speaking at NASA. Howard gives him a tour, helps him through the turbulence they experience on the plane trip and helps him deal with having seen his mother having sex. He notes that he drove away a man interested in his mother and that Sheldon should not stand in the way of his mother's happiness. In \"The Comic Book Store Regeneration\", when the gang receives the devastating news that Debbie Wolowitz died, Sheldon wanted to say something. Though the gang was worried at what insensitive thing he might say, Howard allowed Sheldon to speak. In a rare moment of compassion, Sheldon comforted Howard by stating when his father died, he didn't have friends to help him through it before reminding Howard that he does.

Howard invites his buddy over to his house all the time. Howard has called them co-pilots of the Millennium Falcon, and they have weekly routines they do together. However, Howard becomes easily distracted and sometimes abandons him, only to be unmindful of any wrongdoing. Sadly, he taught\u00a0Raj his dance moves, and Howard seems to wear off on him, as Raj can be very womanizing and uses slang. He scoffs at Raj when he says something stupid, and has once complained that he's going to end up with swimmer's ear with Raj whispering in his ear, although Sheldon cannot tolerate his moist breath in his ear altogether. Despite the fact that Howard is undeniably obsessed with women, Dr. Beverly Hofstadter, Leonard's mother, says they are in an \"ersatz homosexual marriage\". Amusingly, Raj and Howard have several arguments during the series, in which Raj repeatedly accuses Howard of leaving him for everybody who's only slightly better looking and otherwise assuming the cliche female role in partnership arguments. Season 4 jokingly introduced the possibility of Howard's \"latent homosexual tendencies\" when George Takei appeared as himself in an imaginary conversation with Bernadette and Katee Sackhoff over his relationship status with Bernadette, but Howard quickly denied it. Before Howard met Bernadette, it was implied that he called Raj\u00a0\"honey\", and Debbie Wolowitz is relieved when he has a girl over to the house. In \"The Septum Deviation\", Raj has dinner with Howard and Bernie is worried about what to get his parents for their fortieth wedding anniversary. Later Raj gets a call from his father that he has moved out and that his parents are getting divorce lawyers. Howard is visiting him and sympathizes with him. His discussion of their not communicating together causes a fight between Howard and Bernie. In \"The Anxiety Optimization\", Howard starts a game called \"Emily or Cinnamon\" where people have to guess whether statements Raj has made are for the woman or the dog he loves. Emily thinks Raj's sensitive nature is very sexy. In \"The 2003 Approximation\", Raj and Howard form a band call \"Footprints on the Moon\", when Stuart is looking for live music in his store. They write a song about Indiana Jones taking on Thor which is a cool song, but not easy to dance to. In \"The Confidence Erosion\", Raj takes a break from his friendship with Howard when he realizes that his lack of confidence is in part due to Howard's constant demeaning jokes. He changes his look, gains confidence and gets a job at the Griffith Observatory. After his show, a young woman even asks him to coffee. In \"The Celebration Reverberation\", Raj is still mad at Howard who still gets him to plan Halley's first birthday party. Both end up in Halley's bounce house taking out their frustrations on each other. The house is so much fun that they mend their friendship while bouncing around. In \"The Planetarium Collision\" Howard gets invited by Raj's boss to help host a planetarium show since he is an astronaut. Raj is worried that Howard will take over the show. Anxiety occurs between them and during their show they end up complimenting each other to excess. In \"The Inspiration Deprivation\", Howard buys a Vespa like he used to own with him and Raj planning to relive their good old days. Bernadette is angry and doesn't want him hurt. He sells it to Bert who immediately has an accident. In \"The Maternal Conclusion\", Anu is in London for a convention and then gets offered a job. She wonders what that means for them.

But last June, National Review's Byron York learned that Earle offered some of those companies deals in which the charges would be dismissed \u2014 if the corporations came up with big donations to one of Earle's favorite causes.

In his drive to consolidate Republican power, Mr. DeLay has consistently pushed, and at times stepped over, ethical boundaries.\n\nHe is, as we said last year, an ethical recidivist -- unabashed about using his legislative and political power to reward supporters and punish opponents, and brazen in how he links campaign contributions and political actions. Among the DeLay activities that have drawn disapproval from the House ethics committee: threatening a trade association for daring to hire a Democrat; enlisting federal aviation officials to hunt for Democratic state legislators trying to foil his Texas redistricting plan; and holding a golf fundraiser for energy companies just as the House was to consider energy legislation.\n\nNonetheless, at least on the evidence presented so far, the indictment of Mr. DeLay by a state prosecutor in Texas gives us pause. The charge concerns the activities of Texans for a Republican Majority (TRMPAC), a political action committee created by Mr. DeLay and his aides to orchestrate the GOP's takeover of the Texas legislature in 2002. The issue is whether Mr. DeLay and his political aides illegally used the group to evade the state's ban on corporate contributions to candidates.

The charge concerns the activities of Texans for a Republican Majority (TRMPAC), a political action committee created by Mr. DeLay and his aides to orchestrate the GOP's takeover of the Texas legislature in 2002. The issue is whether Mr. DeLay and his political aides illegally used the group to evade the state's ban on corporate contributions to candidates. The indictment alleges that TRMPAC took $155,000 in corporate contributions and then sent a check for $190,000 to the national Republican Party's \"soft money\" arm.

Well, you want the S version because it was built in Sweden instead of Scotland, along with many of the Chrysler-Rootes Group cars. ranwhenparked has more:\n\nThe Chrysler-Rootes plant in Linwood, Scotland was pretty terrible. It was constructed specifically to build the Hillman Imp (full disclosure, I actually kind of like that car, my dad's British expatriate friend had one for decades).\n\nChrysler wanted to build the car at their existing factory in Ryton, but oh no no, the UK government had other ideas. With Scotland's shipbuilding industry essentially dead (partly, OK, heavily due to government policy), the idea was to replace it with car production. So, Chrysler was denied the necessary permits to expand the Ryton plant, but was given generous subsidies to build a new factory in Linwood and really needed to build the car somewhere, so they went with it.\n\nAll their suppliers were still located in England, Linwood was basically in the middle of a vast no-man's land for the auto industry, which led to high transportation costs and frequent parts shortages. The local workforce was inexperienced in car assembly, which led to poor quality and low productivity (the rush to get production going was also to blame, as it shortened training time). Turnover was high and labor problems were rampant - there were over two dozen strikes in one year alone. The factory operated deep in the red throughout its existence and was ultimately closed in the mid '70s after only 13 years in operation.\n\nSuggested By: Fl1ngstam and ranwhenparked, Photo Credit: Getty Images\n\n2.)

Upon his sentencing of the guilty parties, the judge made several declarations of the grief he felt at seeing the Youths forfeiting their lives to villainy and debauchery. He spoke of the nature of their crimes, and of the mercy the court had shown them. Whereat he made this statement:\n\n\u201cI do therefore in the name of the Court pronounce this Judgment upon you all\u2026 you shall go from hence to the place from whence you came, and from thence to the place of Execution, where you shall severally be hanged by your necks till you be dead; and Jehovah the Lord of Heaven and Earth have mercy upon your Souls.\u201d\n\nThe six criminals destined for the Executioner were guilty of a range of offences:\nSusan Banster, for stealing goods of 13 l. value\u2026\nStephen Arrowsmith, for a Rape committed upon Elisabeth Hopkins\u2026\nRichard Bradshaw, for high Treason, in clipping the Coyn of this Kingdom.\nJohn Leak, for stealing Cloth off of the Tenters\nEdward Preston, for stealing of a Mare\u2026\nNathaniel Russell, for the Murder of William Midgley.\n\nWhile the record of Stephen Arrowsmith\u2019s trial is not as substantial as many others on the Old Bailey site, the record does allow for several intriguing observations to be made:\n1. That, as the list of guilty parties above illustrates, in 18th Century London, the systematic rape of a small child over the course of six months carried the same punishment as theft, murder, and coin debasement.\n2. That while the law\u2019s concerning rape were firmly established, the public may have been largely ignorant of exactly what those laws were.\n3. That said laws were still barbaric by today\u2019s standards.\n4. That it was common practice at that time (and remains so today) for Judges to overrule a jury\u2019s decision if the decision is unsatisfactory, or to allow the jury to deliberate further, if their initial ruling was made in ignorance of the law.\n5. That prejudicial errors on the part of the court were not grounds for a mistrial in 18th Century London.\n\nThe first witness in the trial against Stephen Arrowsmith was a young girl of nine or ten who, having not been sworn in, testified that on July 7th of the previous year, she \u201csaw in a Room, the Prisoner lying a top of the little Girl, but what they did she knew not, but the Girls Petticoats were up, nor did she cry out.\u201d Whereupon the victim of the trial testified (also without being sworn in) that \u201c[Arrowsmith] had had to do with her for half a year together every sunday, that she was hindred from crying the first time, by his stopping her", "base_doc": "\", according to the UAW.

Rootes Group Linwood\n\nThe Ten Worst Car Factories In History\n\nRemember the Volvo P1800? Well, you want the S version because it was built in Sweden instead of Scotland, along with many of the Chrysler-Rootes Group cars. ranwhenparked has more:\n\nThe Chrysler-Rootes plant in Linwood, Scotland was pretty terrible. It was constructed specifically to build the Hillman Imp (full disclosure, I actually kind of like that car, my dad's British expatriate friend had one for decades).\n\nChrysler wanted to build the car at their existing factory in Ryton, but oh no no, the UK government had other ideas. With Scotland's shipbuilding industry essentially dead (partly, OK, heavily due to government policy), the idea was to replace it with car production. So, Chrysler was denied the necessary permits to expand the Ryton plant, but was given generous subsidies to build a new factory in Linwood and really needed to build the car somewhere, so they went with it.\n\nAll their suppliers were still located in England, Linwood was basically in the middle of a vast no-man's land for the auto industry, which led to high transportation costs and frequent parts shortages. The local workforce was inexperienced in car assembly, which led to poor quality and low productivity (the rush to get production going was also to blame, as it shortened training time). Turnover was high and labor problems were rampant - there were over two dozen strikes in one year alone. The factory operated deep in the red throughout its existence and was ultimately closed in the mid '70s after only 13 years in operation.\n\nSuggested By: Fl1ngstam and ranwhenparked, Photo Credit: Getty Images\n\n2.)

Upon his sentencing of the guilty parties, the judge made several declarations of the grief he felt at seeing the Youths forfeiting their lives to villainy and debauchery. He spoke of the nature of their crimes, and of the mercy the court had shown them. Whereat he made this statement:\n\n\u201cI do therefore in the name of the Court pronounce this Judgment upon you all\u2026 you shall go from hence to the place from whence you came, and from thence to the place of Execution, where you shall severally be hanged by your necks till you be dead; and Jehovah the Lord of Heaven and Earth have mercy upon your Souls.\u201d\n\nThe six criminals destined for the Executioner were guilty of a range of offences:\nSusan Banster, for stealing goods of 13 l. value\u2026\nStephen Arrowsmith, for a Rape committed upon Elisabeth Hopkins\u2026\nRichard Bradshaw, for high Treason, in clipping the Coyn of this Kingdom.\nJohn Leak, for stealing Cloth off of the Tenters\nEdward Preston, for stealing of a Mare\u2026\nNathaniel Russell, for the Murder of William Midgley.\n\nWhile the record of Stephen Arrowsmith\u2019s trial is not as substantial as many others on the Old Bailey site, the record does allow for several intriguing observations to be made:\n1. That, as the list of guilty parties above illustrates, in 18th Century London, the systematic rape of a small child over the course of six months carried the same punishment as theft, murder, and coin debasement.\n2. That while the law\u2019s concerning rape were firmly established, the public may have been largely ignorant of exactly what those laws were.\n3. That said laws were still barbaric by today\u2019s standards.\n4. That it was common practice at that time (and remains so today) for Judges to overrule a jury\u2019s decision if the decision is unsatisfactory, or to allow the jury to deliberate further, if their initial ruling was made in ignorance of the law.\n5. That prejudicial errors on the part of the court were not grounds for a mistrial in 18th Century London.\n\nThe first witness in the trial against Stephen Arrowsmith was a young girl of nine or ten who, having not been sworn in, testified that on July 7th of the previous year, she \u201csaw in a Room, the Prisoner lying a top of the little Girl, but what they did she knew not, but the Girls Petticoats were up, nor did she cry out.\u201d Whereupon the victim of the trial testified (also without being sworn in) that \u201c[Arrowsmith] had had to do with her for half a year together every sunday, that she was hindred from crying the first time, by his stopping her mouth, and that he gave her money afterwards\u2026\u201d The two young girls were the only eye witnesses to the crime.\n\nSeveral witnesses provided hearsay evidence in the trial,", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 428762, "pt_loc": 206552298, "pt_shuffle_idx": 88101356, "doc_index_f": 138101623, "doc_index_l": 138101624, "offset_f": 716, "offset_l": 674, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 34, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [1374, 675]} +{"pt_doc": "It took longer to read the book than the letter because the _ was shorter.\nOption 1: letter\nOption 2: book\nAnswer: 1<|endoftext|>'s got a presence that just exudes into the audience, but when you could spend time with him, you could feel that even on the most personal level, he was somebody who was passionate and involved and interested and wanted to learn and explore and wanted to give and also experience and learn.

It's like, when I went to Viktor Frankl, another memory just surfaced, like he asks me to sign his guest book, well, it was the second guest book. I looked through the first guest book to sign the second guest book, and the entries in the first guest book are like Heidegger, Jaspers, Husserl, all of the great existential philosophers, and I'm signing his guest book in the lineage of all of these people who I studied when I was in college, these profound thinkers.\n\nTana Amen: That's amazing.\n\nJeff Zeig: Even Heidegger, who had some sort of, I think, Nazi leanings, but who was somebody who Viktor Frankl really admired in terms of the depths of his thought and philosophy, well, the existentialists would say, \"When you wake up, the first thing to consider is suicide.\" Okay, you open your eyes, you consider suicide. Now, once you put your bedroom slippers on the floor, it's no longer the right question, and then the question is, \"What will I do now that's meaningful?\" If we can exercise that part of our brain and build that part of our brain-\n\nTana Amen: I actually do that a lot. I don't consider suicide, but I often think to myself, \"At the end of my life, like, we're all dying.\" I often say to myself, \"We're all dying, okay, so just at different rates. What difference is this going to make? I'm going to be dead, and is this going to matter?\"\n\nDaniel Amen: That's not my thought at all.\n\nJeff Zeig: Well, how can I make it matter?\n\nDaniel Amen: My thought as soon as I wake up-\n\nJeff Zeig: You make it matter.\n\nDaniel Amen: My thought as soon as I wake up is, \"Today is going to be a great day.\"\n\nTana Amen: Yeah, no, I don't say it when I first wake up.\n\nDaniel Amen: Then my brain will figure out why it's going to be a great day. I did that this morning, and you immediately, your face popped in my mind because I knew we were going to talk today.\n\nTana Amen: Yeah, you actually said that when you first woke up.\n\nDaniel Amen: Right.\n\nTana Amen: I was half asleep, and he's like, \"Oh, we're going to interview Jeff today,\" and I'm like, \"I know. Why are you waking me up?\" No, I'm not saying I say that when I first wake up. I do try to focus on gratitude first thing in the morning, but when things bother me I try to put it in perspective, it's like, \"Really, is this going to matter? Because we're all going to die,\" so ...\n\nDaniel Amen: Before we run out of time, I want to make sure we talk about the School of Psychotherapy that Viktor Frankl founded, which has to do in large part with meaning, and it's called logostherapy, correct?\n\nJeff Zeig: Logotherapy.\n\nDaniel Amen: Logotherapy.\n\nJeff Zeig: Yeah.\n\nDaniel Amen: \"Logo\" is Greek for \"meaning\", is that correct?\n\nJeff Zeig: Absolutely.\n\nDaniel Amen: Talk to us. If someone went to a logotherapist, what would that be like?\n\nJeff Zeig: Mm-hmm (affirmative), yeah. Well, there were some techniques, like paradoxical intention. Viktor Frankl would work with somebody, for example, with anticipatory anxiety, this is anxiety about anxiety, and sometimes you use paradoxical intention. Let's say it's a young man and he's afraid of talking to young women, and Viktor Frankl says, \"Okay, you're going to a party on Friday. Dress up, wear your nicest clothes. When you get to the party, get two glasses of champagne, fill them to the top, walk around the room until you find the most attractive woman that you can find, and as you get to her you're going to be shaking, you're going to be spilling this champagne all over yourself, and when you get to her you just trip and you'll pour the champagne all over yourself.\" Then he would say, and I can't remember the German phrase, but, \"Better a moment of horror, than horror without end.\"\n\nTana Amen: Oh, my gosh. Love that.\n\nJeff Zeig: He would invited people to live through their greatest fear, but he wanted them to laugh, he didn't really want them to do the activity. He wanted to prompt laughter as a way of blocking anticipatory anxiety. He was really one of the first people to invent the use of paradox, which he did in the 1920s as a technique for helping people. Now, also, he would focus people, of course, on meaning. Now, unfortunately, there are no videos of Viktor Frankl doing therapy. There are lots of audio and video of Viktor Frankl lecturing, but there's nothing that I can find in the archive that shows an example of him doing treatment, but these techniques, like paradoxical intention, dereflection, if he was working with somebody who was obsessive-compulsive, but then overall, as long as you have that light, like the moth is attracted to the light, and that light is meaning, then whatever tragedy befalls you, how can you do alchemy?\n\nHow can you find the lemonade in the lemon, and how can you make that the wall, as Tana was talking about, that you're focusing on so you're not focusing on the problem, you're focusing on what it is that will create meaning, just ... There's a video, Alex Vesely, Viktor's grandson, is a filmmaker, and he's in Los Angeles, and he made a documentary movie both about Viktor Frankl and also about, another documentary about Dr. Erickson. If you looked and searched a little about Viktor Frankl or Alex Vesely, you could find the movie of interviewing people who knew Viktor Frankl.

It was not, he was not a [inaudible 00:44:12] person, he wasn't interested in money.

The climax isn't always the most important scene in a story. In many stories, it is the last sentence, with no successive falling action or resolution.\n\n4. Falling action\n\n\u2003\u2003The falling action is the series of events which take place after the climax; it is where the protagonist must react to the changes that occur during the climax of the story. The events and complications begin to resolve them. The reader knows what has happened next and if the conflict was resolved or not (events between climax and denouement).\n\n5. Denouement / Resolution\n\n\u2003\u2003This is the final outcome or untangling of events in the story. The part of a story or drama which occurs after the climax and which establishes a new norm, a new state of affairs- the way things are going to be from then on. The author often ties up the loose ends of the story to have the plot reach a conclusion.\n\n\u2003\u2003In a story, the events maybe rise and fall repeatedly and actually a plot develops a series of complications or intensification of the conflict that leads to a moment of great tension. Sometimes the author will use some techniques in writing the plot to make the story more interesting or to add a twist or turn. Foreshadowing is where the author may hint at what might happen in the future. Flashback is where the author might tell us something that has happened in the past to help explain the present. Irony is when the author has something happen in the story that is the opposite of what the reader expects.\n\n\u2003\u2003In general, plot can be divided into two types, they are closed and open. This is based on the way how an author presents the resolution of his story, they are: a.\n\n\u2003\u2003Closed plot: in this type of the plot the end of the story is clear because the author presents a definite resolution of conflict. Most narrative works use closed plot, because the end of the story is clear, readers do not have to think a lot about it.\n\n\n\u2003\u2003Open plot: this type of plot has little or no resolution at all. The author, however, creates some clues in the story that will lead his readers to conclude the resolution of the story.The Concept of Plot states that any novel or drama represents a composite of three elements: action, character, and thought. Plot is the particular synthesis of the three elements. He divides plot into three kinds,\n\n\u2003\u20031) Plot of Action: in this kind of plot the interest lies in \u201cwhat happens next\u201d, while the character and thought are portrayed minimally. We rarely, if ever, find any serious or intellectual issues.\n\n\u2003\u20032) Plot of Character: this kind of plot deals with the process of change in the moral character of the protagonist.\n\n\u2003\u20033) Plot of Thought: this kind of plot deals with the process of change in the thought of the protagonist and in his feeling.\u201d\n\n\u2003\u2003In a well plotted story, things precede or follow each other not simply because time ticks away, but more importantly because effects follow causes. In a good story nothing is relevant or accidental; everything is related and causative. The controlling impulse in a connected pattern of causes and effects is conflict, which refers generally to people or circumstances that a character (often the protagonist) must face and try to overcome (often the antagonist). Conflict brings out the extremes of human energy, causing characters to engage in the decisions, actions, responses, and interactions that make up most stories. Conflict is the major elements of plot because opposing forces arouse curiosity, cause doubt, create tension, and produce interest.\n\n2.9. Setting\n\n\u2003\u2003The setting is not only shows the place or time of the sequence of events, but it also expresses the character in a story. For example: the setting describes in a house, and then the house will express the character of the owner. In this case, we can see from the interior of the house, if the owner is a rich man then his house is big and filled in the expansive things.\n\n\u2003\u2003According to Wellek and Warren through their book Theory of Literature describe that: \u201cSetting is environment and environment especially domestic interior, maybe viewed as metonymic, or metaphoric, expression of character\u201d (1949:221).\n\n\u2003\u2003Setting is the natural, manufactured, political, and temporary environment, including everything that characters know and own. Like all human beings, fictional characters do not exist in isolation. Just they become human by interacting with other characters, they gain identity because of their cultural and political allegiances, their possessions, their jobs and their location where they live and move and have their being. Stories must therefore necessarily include description of places, objects, and backgrounds. So, setting includes the time, location, and everything in which a story takes place, and initiates the main backdrop and mood for a story. Setting has been referred to as story world or milieu to include a context (especially society) beyond the immediate surroundings of the story. Elements of setting may include culture, historical period, geography, and hour. Along with plot, character, theme, and style, settingis considered one of the fundamental components of fiction. A setting is the time place and social environment a story takes place.\n\n\u2003\u2003Writers describe the world they know. Sights, sounds, colors, and textures are all vividly painted in words as an artist paints images on canvas. A writer imagines a story to be happening in a place that is rooted in his or her mind. The location of a story's actions, along with the time in which it occurs, is the setting. Setting is created by language. How many or how few details we learn is up to the author. Many authors leave a lot of these details up to the reader's imagination.\n\n\u2003\u2003Setting is a key role in plot, as in man vs. nature or man vs. society stories. In some stories the setting becomes a character itself. In such roles setting may be considered a plot device or literary device. The term \"setting\" is often used to refer to the social milieu in which the events of a novel occur.\n\n\u2003\u2003Characters may either helped or hurt by their surroundings, and they may fight about possession and goals. Further, as characters speak with each other, they reveal the degree to which they share the custom and ideas of their times.\n\n\u2003\u2003a. Nature And The Outdoors\n\n\u2003\u2003The natural world is an obvious location of many narratives and plays. It is therefore important to note natural surroundings (hills, valleys, mountains, meadows, fields, trees, lakes, streams), living creatures (birds, dogs, horses, snakes), and also conditions in which things happen (sunlight, darkness, calm, wind, rain, snow, storm, heat, cold)\n\n \u2022 \u2013 any or all of which may influence character and action.\n\n\u2003\u2003b. Objects of human manufacture and construction\n\n\u2003\u2003To reveal or highlight qualities of character, and also to make fiction life, authors include detail about buildings and objects of human manufacture and construction. Houses, both interiors, are common, as are possessions such as walking sticks, fences, park benches, toys, automobiles, hair ribbon, necklace, and so on.\n\n\u2003\u2003c. Cultural conditions and assumption\n\n\u2003\u2003Just as physical setting influence characters, so do cultural conditions and Assumptions, such as characters live, the primitive beliefs, human sacrifice, modern scientific beliefs, and so on.\n\n2.10. Theme\n\n\u2003\u2003The theme in a piece of fiction is its controlling idea or its central insight. It is the author's underlying meaning or main idea that he is trying to convey. The theme may be the author's thoughts about a topic or view of human nature. Fiction necessary embodies issues and ideas. Even stories written for entertainment alone are based in an idea or position. In fiction ideas take from of an underlying theme or central idea, which helps to tie the work together. Often the author makes theme obvious, it does not much imagination to state the theme.\n\n\u2003\u2003In reading a story the reader will discover, not taught, human values. The meaning of as inseparable part of it, not something apart from the story. The observation and the way in which it is made trough the interrelationship of the various elements reveals what it is called the theme of the story. A novels theme is the main idea that the writer expresses. Sometimes the theme of the story is stated explicitly. However, frequently it is left implicit. Theme can also be defined as the underlying meaning of the story. The theme of a novel is more than its subject matter, because an author\u201fs technique can play as strong a role in developing a theme as the actions of the characters do. Rarely can a novels theme be interpreted in only way. Because of the length of novels, and the various characters, conflicts, and scenes found within them, readers can look at different aspects of the work to uncover different interpretations of the meaning of the tale.\n\n\u2003\u2003A common theme in novels is the conflict between appearance and reality. Another common theme is the search for personality identity. The theme of individual who strikes out alone to face the world is used in many works. Some novels feature people who cannot break from their society\u201fs convention and instead become disillusioned with conflict between their inspiration and the reality of their lives. Throughout the history of the novel, a major theme has been whether people can change their situation in life or whether they are in the grips of forces beyond their", "base_doc": ", in which an expectedly difficult event is revealed to be incredibly easy or of paltry importance.\n\n\u2003\u2003Critics may also label the falling action as an anti-climax, or anti-climactic. The climax isn't always the most important scene in a story. In many stories, it is the last sentence, with no successive falling action or resolution.\n\n4. Falling action\n\n\u2003\u2003The falling action is the series of events which take place after the climax; it is where the protagonist must react to the changes that occur during the climax of the story. The events and complications begin to resolve them. The reader knows what has happened next and if the conflict was resolved or not (events between climax and denouement).\n\n5. Denouement / Resolution\n\n\u2003\u2003This is the final outcome or untangling of events in the story. The part of a story or drama which occurs after the climax and which establishes a new norm, a new state of affairs- the way things are going to be from then on. The author often ties up the loose ends of the story to have the plot reach a conclusion.\n\n\u2003\u2003In a story, the events maybe rise and fall repeatedly and actually a plot develops a series of complications or intensification of the conflict that leads to a moment of great tension. Sometimes the author will use some techniques in writing the plot to make the story more interesting or to add a twist or turn. Foreshadowing is where the author may hint at what might happen in the future. Flashback is where the author might tell us something that has happened in the past to help explain the present. Irony is when the author has something happen in the story that is the opposite of what the reader expects.\n\n\u2003\u2003In general, plot can be divided into two types, they are closed and open. This is based on the way how an author presents the resolution of his story, they are: a.\n\n\u2003\u2003Closed plot: in this type of the plot the end of the story is clear because the author presents a definite resolution of conflict. Most narrative works use closed plot, because the end of the story is clear, readers do not have to think a lot about it.\n\n\n\u2003\u2003Open plot: this type of plot has little or no resolution at all. The author, however, creates some clues in the story that will lead his readers to conclude the resolution of the story.The Concept of Plot states that any novel or drama represents a composite of three elements: action, character, and thought. Plot is the particular synthesis of the three elements. He divides plot into three kinds,\n\n\u2003\u20031) Plot of Action: in this kind of plot the interest lies in \u201cwhat happens next\u201d, while the character and thought are portrayed minimally. We rarely, if ever, find any serious or intellectual issues.\n\n\u2003\u20032) Plot of Character: this kind of plot deals with the process of change in the moral character of the protagonist.\n\n\u2003\u20033) Plot of Thought: this kind of plot deals with the process of change in the thought of the protagonist and in his feeling.\u201d\n\n\u2003\u2003In a well plotted story, things precede or follow each other not simply because time ticks away, but more importantly because effects follow causes. In a good story nothing is relevant or accidental; everything is related and causative. The controlling impulse in a connected pattern of causes and effects is conflict, which refers generally to people or circumstances that a character (often the protagonist) must face and try to overcome (often the antagonist). Conflict brings out the extremes of human energy, causing characters to engage in the decisions, actions, responses, and interactions that make up most stories. Conflict is the major elements of plot because opposing forces arouse curiosity, cause doubt, create tension, and produce interest.\n\n2.9. Setting\n\n\u2003\u2003The setting is not only shows the place or time of the sequence of events, but it also expresses the character in a story. For example: the setting describes in a house, and then the house will express the character of the owner. In this case, we can see from the interior of the house, if the owner is a rich man then his house is big and filled in the expansive things.\n\n\u2003\u2003According to Wellek and Warren through their book Theory of Literature describe that: \u201cSetting is environment and environment especially domestic interior, maybe viewed as metonymic, or metaphoric, expression of character\u201d (1949:221).\n\n\u2003\u2003Setting is the natural, manufactured, political, and temporary environment, including everything that characters know and own. Like all human beings, fictional characters do not exist in isolation. Just they become human by interacting with other characters, they gain identity because of their cultural and political allegiances, their possessions, their jobs and their location where they live and move and have their being. Stories must therefore necessarily include description of places, objects, and backgrounds. So, setting includes the time, location, and everything in which a story takes place, and initiates the main backdrop and mood for a story. Setting has been referred to as story world or milieu to include a context (especially society) beyond the immediate surroundings of the story. Elements of setting may include culture, historical period, geography, and hour. Along with plot, character, theme, and style, settingis considered one of the fundamental components of fiction. A setting is the time place and social environment a story takes place.\n\n\u2003\u2003Writers describe the world they know. Sights, sounds, colors, and textures are all vividly painted in words as an artist paints images on canvas. A writer imagines a story to be happening in a place that is rooted in his or her mind. The location of a story's actions, along with the time in which it occurs, is the setting. Setting is created by language. How many or how few details we learn is up to the author. Many authors leave a lot of these details up to the reader's imagination.\n\n\u2003\u2003Setting is a key role in plot, as in man vs. nature or man vs. society stories. In some stories the setting becomes a character itself. In such roles setting may be considered a plot device or literary device. The term \"setting\" is often used to refer to the social milieu in which the events of a novel occur.\n\n\u2003\u2003Characters may either helped or hurt by their surroundings, and they may fight about possession and goals. Further, as characters speak with each other, they reveal the degree to which they share the custom and ideas of their times.\n\n\u2003\u2003a. Nature And The Outdoors\n\n\u2003\u2003The natural world is an obvious location of many narratives and plays. It is therefore important to note natural surroundings (hills, valleys, mountains, meadows, fields, trees, lakes, streams), living creatures (birds, dogs, horses, snakes), and also conditions in which things happen (sunlight, darkness, calm, wind, rain, snow, storm, heat, cold)\n\n \u2022 \u2013 any or all of which may influence character and action.\n\n\u2003\u2003b. Objects of human manufacture and construction\n\n\u2003\u2003To reveal or highlight qualities of character, and also to make fiction life, authors include detail about buildings and objects of human manufacture and construction. Houses, both interiors, are common, as are possessions such as walking sticks, fences, park benches, toys, automobiles, hair ribbon, necklace, and so on.\n\n\u2003\u2003c. Cultural conditions and assumption\n\n\u2003\u2003Just as physical setting influence characters, so do cultural conditions and Assumptions, such as characters live, the primitive beliefs, human sacrifice, modern scientific beliefs, and so on.\n\n2.10.

A direct consequence is the need to do many deployments a day. In the words of Daniel\u00a0Schauenberg, at any given time every Etsy developer needs to know the answer to the question \"how comfortable am I with deploying a change right now?\". To be comfortable at all times, Etsy adopted a range of tools and practices: mandatory IRC-based communication; developer virtual machines; continuous integration; one-click deployments; thorough application and system monitoring; no blame post-mortems and on-call policies for both dev and ops teams.\n\nEvery developer has its own KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine), configured by Chef. The same cookbooks used in production are also used on the developers' virtual machines, which means that each developer has its own full Etsy stack. Anyone can provision a virtual machine through Virtual Madness, a web application that automates the whole process.\n\nOn the continuous integration front, Daniel explained how Try is central to their process. Try is a tool that allows a developer to test his changes in Jenkins, the CI tool used at Etsy, without having to commit to trunk. Try helps to keep the trunk clean and thus deployable, while at the same time allowing the developers to test their changes quickly and reliably. The CI cluster must be powerful enough to support 150 engineers, and more than 14000 tests suites runs per day. LXC, Linux containers, parallelize the workload. They also provide the isolation needed to keep the executors from colliding with one another.\n\nThe deployment pipeline passes through the princess, or staging, environment before going into production.

Through its feature API, Etsy is able to do A/B testing, completely enable or disable a feature or variants of a given feature.\n\nMonitoring is key to the way Etsy's team builds the confidence to do Continuous Delivery. Developers do their own feature monitoring and everyone has access to all the graphs through dashboards. Etsy has a policy where, by default, everything that can be graphed is graphed. Over time, the number of metrics has increased steadily so Etsy has built Kale, to help detect anomaly patterns. All logs are available through Supergrep, a web based log streamer that increases the logs' signal-to-noise ratio.\n\nIRC is the main communication tool throughout Etsy and is key to the collaboration culture of Etsy. There are lots of different chat rooms, each with a specific purpose. For instance, there is a #warroom where only outage related conversations are allowed. The room is used to coordinate the investigation, discuss counter measures and resolution monitoring. #warroom, as with other chat rooms, is one place where new engineers are encouraged to lurk around, as they are considered to be good places to learn.\n\nAfter each outage, or near outage, everybody is invited to a post-mortem. Post-mortems are such a significant cultural event that even finance and support can attend if they want to. Post-mortems are meant to be a learning opportunity and so they are blameless. All the information related to a post-mortem is recorded in Morgue: dates; severity; IRC logs; graphs; remediation actions. Morgue is another tool built by Etsy for the specific purpose of post-mortem record keeping.\n\nThere are on-call policies for operations, developers, payments and support.

Such payments must be made on an annual or more frequent basis.\u00a0 For EAP employees, employers may make one catch-up payment within one pay period after the end of each 52-week period to achieve the required salary level for the EAP exemptions.\n\nThe other affected employee exemption is the \u201chighly compensated employee\u201d (\u201cHCE\u201d) exemption.\u00a0 An HCE is an employee who customarily and regularly performs one or more duties of an EAP employee (but not all of them) and is compensated at a specified higher minimum salary level.\u00a0 The minimum total annual compensation to qualify an employee for the HCE exemption will be $107,432 annually, effective January 1, 2020 (up from $100,000 under the current regulations).\u00a0 This compensation level represents the 80th percentile of wages for full-time salaried employees nationally.\u00a0 Employers may make a yearly catch-up payment in order to achieve the minimum annual compensation level to qualify that employee for the HCE exemption.\n\nThe January 1, 2020 effective date represents the first time that these salary thresholds have been updated since 2004.\u00a0 A Final Order issued in 2016 by the Department of Labor under the prior administration would have, among other things, automatically updated the minimum salary and compensation thresholds for EAP and HCE exemptions every three years.\u00a0 That rule was permanently enjoined by a federal court.\u00a0 Under the 2019 rule, the Department of Labor states that it intends to update these levels \u201cmore regularly in the future\u201d.\n\nTo assist broadcasters in adapting their operations to these new salary thresholds, below is a brief overview of each of the exempt classifications for white collar employees and their respective \u201cduties\u201d requirements, broadcaster-specific insights for each classification, and a discussion of special exemptions that may be helpful to broadcasters, including the statutory exemption for certain employees of small-market broadcast stations.\n\nGeneral Exemption Requirements\n\nFor an employee to be exempt from the FLSA\u2019s overtime rules under the EAP test, the employer must pay the employee on a salary basis.\u00a0 This requires the employee be paid a predetermined and fixed salary that is not subject to reductions based on variations of quality or quantity of work performed.\u00a0 However, an employer is not required to pay an employee for workweeks in which the employee does no work for that employee to still be considered salaried under the EAP test.\n\nAs a result, EAP-exempt employees must receive their full salary for any workweek in which work is performed, regardless of the number of days or hours worked or the quality of the work product, although there are certain instances in which deductions from pay are permissible.\u00a0 For example, employers may make deductions from an exempt employee\u2019s pay when an exempt employees misses work for one or more full days for personal reasons or for sickness or disability where the employee does not yet qualify for paid leave or has exhausted all available paid leave under the employer\u2019s paid leave policies.\u00a0 Docking an exempt employee\u2019s pay for a partial-day absence, however, would violate the salary basis test and negate the employee\u2019s exempt status, resulting in the employer facing potential liability for back overtime pay.\u00a0 An employer that regularly practices improper salary deductions may negate not only the exempt status of the employee from whom the improper deduction was made, but also the exempt status of any similarly-situated employees subject to that same policy.\n\nExecutive, Administrative, and Professional Exempt Status: Beginning January 1, 2020, to qualify for the EAP exemption, an employee must meet ALL of the following requirements:\n\n(1) Pursuant to the salary basis test, the employee must be paid a predetermined and fixed salary that is not subject to reduction because of variations in the quality or quantity of work performed.\u00a0 The amount of weekly salary paid must be at least $684 ($35,568 annually); AND\n\n(2) The employee\u2019s job duties must primarily involve executive, administrative, or professional duties as defined by the regulations.\u00a0 The tests used for determining whether the duties an employee performs qualify as executive, administrative, or professional are discussed in more detail below.\n\nHighly Compensated Employee Exempt Status: To qualify for the HCE exemption, an employee must meet ALL of the following requirements:\n\n(1) The employee must be paid total annual compensation of at least $107,432 and receive a salary of at least $684 per week.\u00a0 Note that this means a significant portion of the employee\u2019s compensation could come in the form of ad sales commissions or nondiscretionary bonuses;\n\n(2) The employee\u2019s primary duty involves performing office or non-manual work;

AND\n\n(2) The employee\u2019s primary duty must include the exercise of discretion and independent judgment with respect to matters of significance.\n\nNote that the regulations emphasize duties that involve the exercise of discretion with respect to matters of significance.\u00a0 For example, administrative employees who have the discretion to commit the employer in matters of financial significance (such as through purchasing or budgeting) are generally classified as exempt.\n\nExecutive Employee (must satisfy ALL):\n\n(1) The employee must have a primary duty of managing the enterprise or a department or subdivision of the enterprise; AND\n\n(2) The employee must customarily and regularly direct the work of at least two employees and have the authority to hire or fire (or the employee\u2019s opinions on hiring, firing, or other status changes of employees must be given particular weight).\n\nRemember that this is a conjunctive test.\u00a0 It is not enough for an employee to direct at least two other employees.\u00a0 Employers must consider factors such as an employee\u2019s position in management and the employee\u2019s role in retaining, releasing, or otherwise affecting the status of other employees.\n\nProfessional Employee (pick one):\n\n(1) Learned Professional \u2013 The employee\u2019s primary duty requires performance of work that is predominantly intellectual in character, which entails the regular exercise of discretion and judgment, and that requires knowledge of an advanced type in a field of science or learning customarily acquired by a prolonged course of specialized intellectual instruction and study.\n\n(2) Creative Professional \u2013 The employee\u2019s primary duty requires work that is original and creative in a recognized field of artistic endeavor.\u00a0 This includes such fields as music, writing, acting, and the graphic arts.\u00a0 This exemption category tends to be particularly useful to broadcast stations given the amount of creative effort involved in running a broadcast business.\n\n(3) Teachers and employees practicing law or medicine \u2013 A class of employee not likely to be found at your average broadcast station.\n\nThe Professional Employee classification provides many options for qualifying a broadcast station employee as exempt.\u00a0 Common broadcast jobs that may fall within the Professional Employee category are photographers, designers, some forms of on-air talent, digital media creators, and investigative journalists.\u00a0 However, given the wide variety of job duties at a broadcast station, many of which involve creative effort, decisions should be made on a case-by-case basis.\u00a0 Factors to consider in making such decisions include:\n\n \u2022", "base_doc": " The White House projects the change will impact an estimated 1.3 million previously-exempt employees.\n\nAlthough the FLSA applies to almost all employers, the law contains exemptions for certain types of employees at small-market broadcast stations.\u00a0 The Final Rule does not affect these broadcast industry-specific exemptions, but will affect many other currently exempt employees in the broadcast industry who, unless they receive salary raises, will soon become eligible for overtime pay.\n\nThis Advisory only addresses federal law.\u00a0 Some state laws impose stricter standards than federal law as to which employees are exempt from overtime pay.\u00a0 Employers must ensure that they also meet the requirements of any applicable state or local employment laws.\n\n\nThe FLSA requires employers to pay non-exempt employees an overtime rate of 1.5 times their regular rate for all hours worked over 40 hours per workweek.\u00a0 However, the FLSA exempts from its overtime rules certain classes of employees who are paid on a salary basis and who also meet specific \u201cwhite collar\u201d duties tests.\u00a0 The Department of Labor\u2019s Final Rule increases the minimum salary required for these classes of employees to be deemed exempt from the FLSA\u2019s overtime rules, but does not alter the duties tests for those exemptions.\n\nBeginning January 1, 2020, employees classified as exempt from overtime under the \u201cexecutive\u201d, \u201cadministrative\u201d, or \u201cprofessional\u201d (\u201cEAP\u201d) exemptions must receive a guaranteed weekly salary of at least $684 ($35,568 annually) to continue to be exempt.\u00a0 The previous minimum salary to qualify as exempt was $455 per week ($23,660 annually).\u00a0 This salary level is tied to the 20th percentile of wages for full-time salaried employees in the country\u2019s lowest-wage Census Region.\u00a0 The Final Rule allows employers to use nondiscretionary bonuses and incentive payments (including commissions) to satisfy up to 10% of the salary exemption threshold. Such payments must be made on an annual or more frequent basis.\u00a0 For EAP employees, employers may make one catch-up payment within one pay period after the end of each 52-week period to achieve the required salary level for the EAP exemptions.\n\nThe other affected employee exemption is the \u201chighly compensated employee\u201d (\u201cHCE\u201d) exemption.\u00a0 An HCE is an employee who customarily and regularly performs one or more duties of an EAP employee (but not all of them) and is compensated at a specified higher minimum salary level.\u00a0 The minimum total annual compensation to qualify an employee for the HCE exemption will be $107,432 annually, effective January 1, 2020 (up from $100,000 under the current regulations).\u00a0 This compensation level represents the 80th percentile of wages for full-time salaried employees nationally.\u00a0 Employers may make a yearly catch-up payment in order to achieve the minimum annual compensation level to qualify that employee for the HCE exemption.\n\nThe January 1, 2020 effective date represents the first time that these salary thresholds have been updated since 2004.\u00a0 A Final Order issued in 2016 by the Department of Labor under the prior administration would have, among other things, automatically updated the minimum salary and compensation thresholds for EAP and HCE exemptions every three years.\u00a0 That rule was permanently enjoined by a federal court.\u00a0 Under the 2019 rule, the Department of Labor states that it intends to update these levels \u201cmore regularly in the future\u201d.\n\nTo assist broadcasters in adapting their operations to these new salary thresholds, below is a brief overview of each of the exempt classifications for white collar employees and their respective \u201cduties\u201d requirements, broadcaster-specific insights for each classification, and a discussion of special exemptions that may be helpful to broadcasters, including the statutory exemption for certain employees of small-market broadcast stations.\n\nGeneral Exemption Requirements\n\nFor an employee to be exempt from the FLSA\u2019s overtime rules under the EAP test, the employer must pay the employee on a salary basis.\u00a0 This requires the employee be paid a predetermined and fixed salary that is not subject to reductions based on variations of quality or quantity of work performed.\u00a0 However, an employer is not required to pay an employee for workweeks in which the employee does no work for that employee to still be considered salaried under the EAP test.\n\nAs a result, EAP-exempt employees must receive their full salary for any workweek in which work is performed, regardless of the number of days or hours worked or the quality of the work product, although there are certain instances in which deductions from pay are permissible.\u00a0 For example, employers may make deductions from an exempt employee\u2019s pay when an exempt employees misses work for one or more full days for personal reasons or for sickness or disability where the employee does not yet qualify for paid leave or has exhausted all available paid leave under the employer\u2019s paid leave policies.\u00a0 Docking an exempt employee\u2019s pay for a partial-day absence, however, would violate the salary basis test and negate the employee\u2019s exempt status, resulting in the employer facing potential liability for back overtime pay.\u00a0 An employer that regularly practices improper salary deductions may negate not only the exempt status of the employee from whom the improper deduction was made, but also the exempt status of any similarly-situated employees subject to that same policy.\n\nExecutive, Administrative, and Professional Exempt Status: Beginning January 1, 2020, to qualify for the EAP exemption, an employee must meet ALL of the following requirements:\n\n(1) Pursuant to the salary basis test, the employee must be paid a predetermined and fixed salary that is not subject to reduction because of variations in the quality or quantity of work performed.\u00a0 The amount of weekly salary paid must be at least $684 ($35,568 annually); AND\n\n(2) The employee\u2019s job duties must primarily involve executive, administrative, or professional duties as defined by the regulations.\u00a0 The tests used for determining whether the duties an employee performs qualify as executive, administrative, or professional are discussed in more detail below.\n\nHighly Compensated Employee Exempt Status: To qualify for the HCE exemption, an employee must meet ALL of the following requirements:\n\n(1) The employee must be paid total annual compensation of at least $107,432 and receive a salary of at least $684 per week.\u00a0 Note that this means a significant portion of the employee\u2019s compensation could come in the form of ad sales commissions or nondiscretionary bonuses;\n\n(2) The employee\u2019s primary duty involves performing office or non-manual work; AND\n\n(3) The employee must customarily and regularly perform one or more of the exempt duties or responsibilities of an EAP-exempt employee.\n\nDuties Tests\n\nBe aware that job titles do not determine whether an employee qualifies for exempt status.\u00a0 In addition to earning at or above the new minimum salary level, an exempt employee must perform the duties or responsibilities of one or more of the following types of employees to qualify as an exempt EAP employee.\n\nAdministrative Employee (must satisfy ALL):\n\n(1) The employee\u2019s primary duty must be in the performance of office or non-manual work directly related to the management or general business operations of the employer or the employer\u2019s customers;

Lawmakers negotiated it with San Francisco housing developer Alastair Mactaggart, who spent millions of dollars to place the initiative on the ballot. He said he would pull the measure from the ballot if the bill is signed into law by the Thursday deadline to withdraw initiatives.\n\nThe bill now moves to the Senate Appropriations Committee, a spokeswoman for co-author Sen. Bob Hertzberg, D-Van Nuys, said. The full Assembly and Senate each plan to vote on the bill Thursday. Gov. Jerry Brown\u2019s office has not said whether he will sign it.\n\nLawmakers can more easily amend laws they pass than alter voter-enacted initiatives.\n\nLawmakers say the legislation will affect every California consumer and will likely inform legislation throughout the country.\n\nMactaggart said he supports the bill and his initiative, though he believes the legislative process is better tailored for enacting such policy. He said he has been pushing legislators to address the issue.\n\nThose who spoke against the bill, including the California Chamber of Commerce, said they favored it over the initiative and urged future changes.\n\n\u201cAlthough AB375 is deeply flawed, the privacy initiative is even worse,\u201d chamber lobbyist Sarah Boot said.\n\nThe bill has unclear language and could prevent companies from providing loyalty programs and notifications to customers, Boot said.\n\nThe bill would let consumers ask companies such as Google and Facebook what personal data has been collected, why it was collected and what categories of third parties have received it.\n\nConsumers could also ask companies to delete their information and refrain from selling it.\n\nCompanies could offer discounts to customers who allow their data to be sold and could charge those who opt out a reasonable amount based on how much the company makes selling the information.\n\nThe bill would also bar companies from selling data from users under 16 without consent.\n\nAssemblyman Ed Chau, an Arcadia Democrat and the chief bill author, said he doesn\u2019t like the rushed process forced by the ballot measure deadline, but he stressed that his bill gives Californians important privacy protections.\n\nSen. Hannah-Beth Jackson of Santa Barbara, who chairs the Judiciary Committee, cited negotiations late Sunday night that led to amendments to narrow technology companies\u2019 liability in the event of data breaches.\n\nConsumers could sue under the bill if their data was not encrypted or redacted and the company that collected it did not have reasonable security measures in place to protect it.\n\nAmendments suggested by Mactaggart were scrapped ahead of the committee hearing after a coalition funded by technology giants decried them, demonstrating their influence in the Capitol.\n\nJackson and the other Democrats on the committee supported the bill, but she said she believes it still has an \u201cenormous\u201d number of problems lawmakers would need to address before it takes effect in 2020.<|endoftext|>Nelson is a much bigger person than Samuel, so _ wants a to buy a smaller car from the dealership.\nOption 1: Nelson\nOption 2: Samuel\nAnswer: 2<|endoftext|>The Famous Birthdays: Celebrity birthdays and famous people biographies\n\nFamous 40 year olds\n\nBilly\u00a0LeBlanc\n\nBilly\u00a0LeBlanc (40)\n\nAmerican YouTube star\nChanning Tatum\n\nChanning Tatum (40)\n\nAmerican actor\nZooey Deschanel\n\nZooey Deschanel (40)\n\nAmerican actress, musician, and singer-songwriter\nJune Shannon\n\nJune Shannon (40)\n\nAmerican TV personality\n\nPink (40)\n\nAmerican singer\nGucci Mane\n\nGucci Mane (40)\n\nAmerican rapper and producer\n\nRonaldinho (40)\n\nShay Carl Butler\n\nShay Carl Butler (40)\n\nAmerican YouTube star\nChitrangada Singh\n\nChitrangada Singh (40)\n\nIndian actress\nJason Segel\n\nJason Segel (40)\n\nAmerican actor, singer, and screenwriter\nSheri Easterling\n\nSheri Easterling (40)\n\nAmerican TikTok star\nMelissa Rauch\n\nMelissa Rauch (40)\n\nComedian and actor\nOlivia Munn\n\nOlivia Munn (40)\n\nAmerican actress\nRandy Orton\n\nRandy Orton (40)\n\nAmerican wrestler\nKelly Brook\n\nKelly Brook (40)\n\nEnglish actress and model\nStacy Keibler\n\nStacy Keibler (40)\n\nAmerican actress, TV host and retired wrestler\nOlga Kurylenko\n\nOlga Kurylenko (40)\n\nUkrainian-French actress and model\n\nBrooke Norris (40)\n\nAustralian YouTuber\nAlistair Overeem\n\nAlistair Overeem (40)\n\nMixed martial artist and kickboxer\nSteven Gerrard\n\nSteven Gerrard (40)\n\nEnglish footballer\n\nGotye (40)\n\nAustralian singer-songwriter and musician\nEva Green\n\nEva Green (40)\n\nFrench actress\nJason Momoa\n\nJason Momoa (40)\n\nAmerican actor\nMichael Owen\n\nMichael Owen (40)\n\nEnglish footballer\nCharlie Hunnam\n\nCharlie Hunnam (40)\n\nBritish actor\nCote de Pablo\n\nCote de Pablo (40)\n\nChilean actress\nFlo Rida\n\nFlo Rida (40)\n\nAmerican rapper\nMinka Kelly\n\nMinka Kelly (40)\n\nAmerican actress\nChristina Ricci\n\nChristina Ricci (40)\n\nAmerican actress\nBam Margera\n\nBam Margera (40)\n\nAmerican skateboarder and director\nLamar Odom\n\nLamar Odom (40)\n\nAmerican basketball player\nSarah Shahi\n\nSarah Shahi (40)\n\nAmerican actress\nRose Byrne\n\nRose Byrne (40)\n\nAustralian actress\nMetta World Peace\n\nMetta World Peace (40)\n\nAmerican basketball player\nNoomi Rapace\n\nNoomi Rapace (40)\n\nSwedish actress\nSean Parker\n\nSean Parker (40)\n\nAmerican businessman\nJordana Brewster\n\nJordana Brewster (40)\n\nAmerican actress\nJohn Krasinski\n\nJohn Krasinski (40)\n\nAmerican actor\nAaron Paul\n\nAaron Paul (40)\n\nAmerican actor\n\nFGTeeV Mom (40)\n\nAmerican internet star\n\nYelawolf (40)\n\nAmerican rapper\nMama Bee\n\nMama Bee (40)\n\nUruguayan YouTuber\nMatthew Gray Gubler\n\nMatthew Gray Gubler (40)\n\nAmerican actor\nChelsea Clinton\n\nChelsea Clinton (40)\n\nAmerican journalist\n\nHowToBasic (40)\n\nAustralian YouTuber\nJennifer Carpenter\n\nJennifer Carpenter (40)\n\nAmerican actress\nKate Micucci\n\nKate Micucci (40)\n\nAmerican actress, comedian, and singer-songwriter\nTravis Fimmel\n\nTravis Fimmel (40)\n\nAustralian actor and model\n\nXavi (40)\n\nSpanish footballer\n\nDaniel Markham (40)\n", "base_doc": " application developers.

Hannah-Beth Jackson of Santa Barbara, who chairs the Judiciary Committee, cited negotiations late Sunday night that led to amendments to narrow technology companies\u2019 liability in the event of data breaches.\n\nConsumers could sue under the bill if their data was not encrypted or redacted and the company that collected it did not have reasonable security measures in place to protect it.\n\nAmendments suggested by Mactaggart were scrapped ahead of the committee hearing after a coalition funded by technology giants decried them, demonstrating their influence in the Capitol.\n\nJackson and the other Democrats on the committee supported the bill, but she said she believes it still has an \u201cenormous\u201d number of problems lawmakers would need to address before it takes effect in 2020.<|endoftext|>The Famous Birthdays: Celebrity birthdays and famous people biographies\n\nFamous 40 year olds\n\nBilly\u00a0LeBlanc\n\nBilly\u00a0LeBlanc (40)\n\nAmerican YouTube star\nChanning Tatum\n\nChanning Tatum (40)\n\nAmerican actor\nZooey Deschanel\n\nZooey Deschanel (40)\n\nAmerican actress, musician, and singer-songwriter\nJune Shannon\n\nJune Shannon (40)\n\nAmerican TV personality\n\nPink (40)\n\nAmerican singer\nGucci Mane\n\nGucci Mane (40)\n\nAmerican rapper and producer\n\nRonaldinho (40)\n\nShay Carl Butler\n\nShay Carl Butler (40)\n\nAmerican YouTube star\nChitrangada Singh\n\nChitrangada Singh (40)\n\nIndian actress\nJason Segel\n\nJason Segel (40)\n\nAmerican actor, singer, and screenwriter\nSheri Easterling\n\nSheri Easterling (40)\n\nAmerican TikTok star\nMelissa Rauch\n\nMelissa Rauch (40)\n\nComedian and actor\nOlivia Munn\n\nOlivia Munn (40)\n\nAmerican actress\nRandy Orton\n\nRandy Orton (40)\n\nAmerican wrestler\nKelly Brook\n\nKelly Brook (40)\n\nEnglish actress and model\nStacy Keibler\n\nStacy Keibler (40)\n\nAmerican actress, TV host and retired wrestler\nOlga Kurylenko\n\nOlga Kurylenko (40)\n\nUkrainian-French actress and model\n\nBrooke Norris (40)\n\nAustralian YouTuber\nAlistair Overeem\n\nAlistair Overeem (40)\n\nMixed martial artist and kickboxer\nSteven Gerrard\n\nSteven Gerrard (40)\n\nEnglish footballer\n\nGotye (40)\n\nAustralian singer-songwriter and musician\nEva Green\n\nEva Green (40)\n\nFrench actress\nJason Momoa\n\nJason Momoa (40)\n\nAmerican actor\nMichael Owen\n\nMichael Owen (40)\n\nEnglish footballer\nCharlie Hunnam\n\nCharlie Hunnam (40)\n\nBritish actor\nCote de Pablo\n\nCote de Pablo (40)\n\nChilean actress\nFlo Rida\n\nFlo Rida (40)\n\nAmerican rapper\nMinka Kelly\n\nMinka Kelly (40)\n\nAmerican actress\nChristina Ricci\n\nChristina Ricci (40)\n\nAmerican actress\nBam Margera\n\nBam Margera (40)\n\nAmerican skateboarder and director\nLamar Odom\n\nLamar Odom (40)\n\nAmerican basketball player\nSarah Shahi\n\nSarah Shahi (40)\n\nAmerican actress\nRose Byrne\n\nRose Byrne (40)\n\nAustralian actress\nMetta World Peace\n\nMetta World Peace (40)\n\nAmerican basketball player\nNoomi Rapace\n\nNoomi Rapace (40)\n\nSwedish actress\nSean Parker\n\nSean Parker (40)\n\nAmerican businessman\nJordana Brewster\n\nJordana Brewster (40)\n\nAmerican actress\nJohn Krasinski\n\nJohn Krasinski (40)\n\nAmerican actor\nAaron Paul\n\nAaron Paul (40)\n\nAmerican actor\n\nFGTeeV Mom (40)\n\nAmerican internet star\n\nYelawolf (40)\n\nAmerican rapper\nMama Bee\n\nMama Bee (40)\n\nUruguayan YouTuber\nMatthew Gray Gubler\n\nMatthew Gray Gubler (40)\n\nAmerican actor\nChelsea Clinton\n\nChelsea Clinton (40)\n\nAmerican journalist\n\nHowToBasic (40)\n\nAustralian YouTuber\nJennifer Carpenter\n\nJennifer Carpenter (40)\n\nAmerican actress\nKate Micucci\n\nKate Micucci (40)\n\nAmerican actress, comedian, and singer-songwriter\nTravis Fimmel\n\nTravis Fimmel (40)\n\nAustralian actor and model\n\nXavi (40)\n\nSpanish footballer\n\nDaniel Markham (40)\n\nFilipino YouTuber\nShinji Kagawa\n\nShinji Kagawa (40)", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 438578, "pt_loc": 137364642, "pt_shuffle_idx": 220211552, "doc_index_f": 345189314, "doc_index_l": 345189317, "offset_f": 5847, "offset_l": 965, "pt_injection_pos": 3, "pt_window_offset": 13, "pt_injection_len": 38, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [237, 140, 706, 966]} +{"pt_doc": "The bushes were resilient but the vegetables were vulnerable.

These and other hallowed places allow Utah Mormons to commemorate the \u201cpioneer trek\u201d to the Great Basin. The sacred narrative of getting to Utah is more important than Zion itself.\n\nThe other church program is the worldwide creation of temples: those special-use limited-access buildings used for rituals (not the regular open-access church buildings used for Sunday services). In the pioneer period, temples were grand edifices that echoed Utah\u2019s mountains in their architecture. Each was different. But since 1997 the Church has built or authorized the construction of one hundred \u201cmini-temples,\u201d most of them beyond the Mormon Culture Region. In the pursuit of globalization, it is no longer practical or financially feasible for the church to continue erecting temples on the scale of the landmark pioneer structures.\n\nAs designed by church architects, the mini-temples accord to standard floor plans and contain standard furnishings. From a certain angle, they are not so different from hotel conference centers. The sacred temples are sealed off from nature\u2014no sunlit windows or fresh-air conduits. Mormonism, a movement that began with an outdoorsy prophet who encountered God in a woodlot, who used magical rocks to translate scriptures buried in a holy hill, who led the Latter-day Saints to a unique Center Place in North America on the borders of the Lamanites, is now managed by a global corporation that manufactures generic, fungible, sacred space with plush carpeting and upholstery. That, too, seems very American.\n\nAre you hoping just to inform readers? Give them pleasure? Piss them off?\n\nMostly I want to tell a great American story. In the process I\u2019m willing to challenge some popular notions held by Mormons about their history. But I\u2019m not obnoxious about it. By temperament, I\u2019m both a contrarian and a reconciliator. I don\u2019t belittle religion. Anti-Mormonism pisses me off.\n\nIn the nineteenth century and well into the twentieth, the US Protestant establishment vilified Utah Mormons as foreign, deviant, dangerous, violent, secretive, conspiratorial, theocratic, repressive, despotic, anti-democratic, un-American, un-Christian fanatics who followed a false prophet, read phony scriptures, worshiped in strange buildings, lived in desert communes, grew long beards, and kept women in political and sexual oppression.\u00a0They were variously likened to \u201cOriental,\u201d \u201cAsiatic,\u201d \u201cTurkish,\u201d and \u201cMohammedan\u201d peoples.\n\nIn 1902, when the Utah legislature elected LDS Church apostle Reed Smoot as senator, the US Senate refused to seat him for four years while it conducted hearings and investigations on the question: Can a faithful Mormon also be a loyal American? Traces of these attitudes persist. The media routinely conflates the LDS Church with Mormon fundamentalists (more properly called fundamentalist believers in late-period Joseph Smith).\n\nDid you have a specific audience in mind when writing?\n\nI wanted to reach two entirely different lay readers: local Mormons who could use something besides insular, faith-promoting history; and non-Mormons outside Utah who could use an informed, even-handed historical account of life \u201cbehind the Zion Curtain.\u201d\n\nThe timing seemed right. The past ten years has been something of a Mormon moment in American media culture.

Here is my work", "base_doc": " Illinois (something like a Mormon version of Williamsburg, Virginia), to Martin\u2019s Cove, Wyoming, the site of a terrible handcart disaster in 1856 that has been converted into a faith-promoting heritage site. These and other hallowed places allow Utah Mormons to commemorate the \u201cpioneer trek\u201d to the Great Basin. The sacred narrative of getting to Utah is more important than Zion itself.\n\nThe other church program is the worldwide creation of temples: those special-use limited-access buildings used for rituals (not the regular open-access church buildings used for Sunday services). In the pioneer period, temples were grand edifices that echoed Utah\u2019s mountains in their architecture. Each was different. But since 1997 the Church has built or authorized the construction of one hundred \u201cmini-temples,\u201d most of them beyond the Mormon Culture Region. In the pursuit of globalization, it is no longer practical or financially feasible for the church to continue erecting temples on the scale of the landmark pioneer structures.\n\nAs designed by church architects, the mini-temples accord to standard floor plans and contain standard furnishings. From a certain angle, they are not so different from hotel conference centers. The sacred temples are sealed off from nature\u2014no sunlit windows or fresh-air conduits. Mormonism, a movement that began with an outdoorsy prophet who encountered God in a woodlot, who used magical rocks to translate scriptures buried in a holy hill, who led the Latter-day Saints to a unique Center Place in North America on the borders of the Lamanites, is now managed by a global corporation that manufactures generic, fungible, sacred space with plush carpeting and upholstery. That, too, seems very American.\n\nAre you hoping just to inform readers? Give them pleasure? Piss them off?\n\nMostly I want to tell a great American story. In the process I\u2019m willing to challenge some popular notions held by Mormons about their history. But I\u2019m not obnoxious about it. By temperament, I\u2019m both a contrarian and a reconciliator. I don\u2019t belittle religion. Anti-Mormonism pisses me off.\n\nIn the nineteenth century and well into the twentieth, the US Protestant establishment vilified Utah Mormons as foreign, deviant, dangerous, violent, secretive, conspiratorial, theocratic, repressive, despotic, anti-democratic, un-American, un-Christian fanatics who followed a false prophet, read phony scriptures, worshiped in strange buildings, lived in desert communes, grew long beards, and kept women in political and sexual oppression.\u00a0They were variously likened to \u201cOriental,\u201d \u201cAsiatic,\u201d \u201cTurkish,\u201d and \u201cMohammedan\u201d peoples.\n\nIn 1902, when the Utah legislature elected LDS Church apostle Reed Smoot as senator, the US Senate refused to seat him for four years while it conducted hearings and investigations on the question: Can a faithful Mormon also be a loyal American? Traces of these attitudes persist. The media routinely conflates the LDS Church with Mormon fundamentalists (more properly called fundamentalist believers in late-period Joseph Smith).\n\nDid you have a specific audience in mind when writing?\n\nI wanted to reach two entirely different lay readers: local Mormons who could use something besides insular, faith-promoting history; and non-Mormons outside Utah who could use an informed, even-handed historical account of life \u201cbehind the Zion Curtain.\u201d\n\nThe timing seemed right. The past ten years has been something of a Mormon moment in American media culture. Think about it: the 2002 Winter Olympics, the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping, the Warren Jeffs trial, Mitt Romney\u2019s past and present bids for the GOP nomination, American Idol runner-up David Archuleta, the PBS documentary The Mormons, HBO\u2019s adaptation of Angels in America, HBO\u2019s original series Big Love, Richard and Joan Ostling\u2019s investigative nonfiction Mormon America, John Krakauer\u2019s polemical nonfiction Under the Banner of Heaven, David Ebershoff\u2019s experimental fiction The 19th Wife, Brady Udall\u2019s tragicomic novel The Lonely Polygamist,\u00a0the continuing controversy over Prop. 8 in California, and, reportedly, an upcoming off-Broadway \u201cMormon musical\u201d by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who already produced a South Park episode about Mormonism.\n\nAs a history professor, I also had numerous professional audiences in mind:\n\n\u2022 Environmental historians (who generally downplay religion and culture)\n\u2022 Utah historians (who too often underplay non-Mormons and native peoples in the state\u2019s past)\n\u2022 Mormon historians (who too rarely engage with outside scholarly trends)\n\u2022 Local historians (who seldom ask large-scale questions despite doing fantastic archival research)\n\u2022 Historians of the United States (who generally overlook the Great Basin)\n\u2022 Religious studies scholars (who generally know less about Mormonism than other US religions, and who might be interested in the racial and environmental aspects of Mormon history)\n\u2022 Native American historians (who generally know less about the Great Basin and Mormon-Indian relations than other western regions and federal-Indian relations)\n\u2022 Historians of the American West (who often lose interest in the story of Mormonism after 1890, when the LDS Church disavowed plural marriage)\n\u2022 Historians of \u201ccollective memory\u201d (who might be interested in a book-length study of a \u201cmemory site\u201d that doubles as a natural landform)\n\u2022 Cultural historians (who might be intrigued by the geographic dimension of \u201cplaying Indian,\u201d and the interplay of religion and landscape)\n\u2022 Folklorists and toponymists (who might be curious to see how an environmental historian uses their work)\n\u2022 Historical geographers (who should be interested in an in-depth, longterm study of place-making, its context, and consequences)\n\nWhere does the book\u2019s title come from?

Patrice Gallant, author of \"Michel Hach\u00c3\u00a9-Gallant et ses descendants\", volumes I and II, from whose works the author of this biography has liberally quoted, making up much of the body of the article, and to Rob Ferguson, author of \"The Search for Port La Joye\", published in the Spring/Summer 1990 volume of The Island Magazine, providing much of the \"Aftermath\" information.\n\nSpecial thanks are extended to Benjamin E. Achee, Jr. for his permission to include information from his Achee//Gallant/Hache web page in this biography.\n\n\nThis is a biography of Michel Hach\u00c3\u00a9-Gallant, (1662-1737), who at the time of his death was the patriarch of a large, extended family of Acadian colonists, and who had spent his last 17 years in the French settlement of Port La Joye (near old Fort Amherst which is located on the southeast shore of Charlottetown harbour) on Ile Saint-Jean (now Prince Edward Island). Beside his considerable progeny, he left behind a farm near the colony's administrative headquarters. Eight years later New England militia put it to the torch.\n\nFather Antoine Bernard, in his book \"L'Acadie vivante\" gives an inventory of the main Arcadian families from the three Maritime provinces. Leblanc leads with 2,759 families. Arsenault is second with 1,543 families. Third is Gallant, with 1,167 families. If we add to this last count the 369 Hach\u00c3\u00a9 families mentioned in the inventory, The Gallant and Hach\u00c3\u00a9 families total 1,536, all descending from the same ancestor, Michel Hach\u00c3\u00a9.\n\n\nLittle is known for certain of Michel Hach\u00c3\u00a9-Gallant's ancestry. The Honorable Bona Arsenault and Fr. Patrice Gallant, have studied this origin and have come to the same conclusion. This conclusion was given out as pure hypothese, as the documents examined could not give absolute proof. Many circumstantial facts found in the archives of the Court of Justice in Quebec and in the life of Nicholas Denys, tell us that Michel Larch\u00c3\u00a9, known in history by the name Michel Hach\u00c3\u00a9 surnamed Gallant was thought to have been born about 1662 at St. Pierre, Acadia (near the present St. Peters, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia). It is thought that he was the son of Pierre Larch\u00c3\u00a9, born about 1640, originally from the parish of Saint Pierre in the town of Montidier, bishop's residence of Beauvais, in France.\n\nA recently discovered document in the archives in Paris, lists a Michel Gallant, husbandman (farmer), on the passenger list of the ship \"St. Jehan\", which sailed for Acadia on 1 April 1636. On a trip to France, Father Patrice Gallant, visited the Village of Montidier, which was restored after having been destroyed during the First World War. He noted being unable to locate any records or knowledge of the names Larch\u00c3\u00a9 or Hach\u00c3\u00a9, but that there was a burial vault in the cemetery and a monument in the village bearing the name \"Galland\". He was also able to find the record of a Pierre Galland who was born about the time our Pierre Larch\u00c3\u00a9 was. These facts pose the question, was the name Gallant really a surname given in Acadia, or did the name originate in France? The question also arises, was the Michel Gallant, who sailed to Acadia in 1636, really the Pierre Larch\u00c3\u00a9 the father of Michel Hach\u00c3\u00a9-Gallant? The span of years mentioned would have allowed this.\n\nPierre Larch\u00c3\u00a9 was employed by Nicholas Denys, a persistent, if luckless entrepreneur who in 1650 had established a trading post at St. Pierre, Ile Royale, located beside the present day St. Peter's Canal, on Cape Breton Island. Larch\u00c3\u00a9 had been married to an Adrianne Langlois, born abut 1640, but he was thought to have taken a Micmac wife when he was at St. Pierre. Larch\u00c3\u00a9 died about 1668 in Miscou, New Brunswick and was dead when his daughter Madeleine was married to Elie Voisen, in Notre Dame Church in Quebec on October 15, 1688.\n\nNicholas Denys' commercial establishment in Acadia was not mentioned in the census of the time. Not being on friendly terms with those in authority at Port Royal, Nicholas Denys often did business with those at Quebec where he had numerous and well-established friends. Nicholas Denys met with many difficulties from his rivals, who in 1667 captured the establishment he had at St. Pierre in Cape Breton. During that summer Nicholas Denys, who was already 70 years old, crossed to France on one of his rival La Giraudiere's ships. During his absence, his only son Richard looked after his business. Denys returned from France the following spring on a ship that probably went directly to Quebec. The French authorities having restored Denys' former rights at St. Pierre, his son went to get him in a schooner.\n\nIt is very likely on the occasion of this voyage that, after the death of their father, Richard Denys would have brought Michel Larch\u00c3\u00a9 along with his sister Madeleine, to Trois-Rivi\u00c3\u00a8res in New France, and that Nicholas Denys confided them to his son-in-law Michel Leneuf and his daughter Mary. This would explain the baptismal act of April 24, 1668, if it really is Michel Larche's.\n\nDenys' establishment at St. Pierre was destroyed by fire during the winter of 1668-69. Now ruined, Denys took refuge at Nipisiquit (Bathurst) during the summer of 1669. He died there in 1688 at the age of 90. Incidentally, Deny's trading post at St. Pierre, which was partially excavated by a Canadian Parks Service team in 1985, is one of the most significant 17th-century sites in Atlantic Canada. See historical site at:\n\nAt Trois-Rivi\u00c3\u00a8res in New France\n\nMichel LeNeuf, Sieur de la Valli\u00c3\u00a8re, Landlord and founder of Beaubassin, moved there from Trois-Rivi\u00c3\u00a8res. It was at Trois-Rivi\u00c3\u00a8res on 24 April 1668, that M de la Poterie, father of Michel LeNeuf and of Miss de la Valli\u00c3\u00a8re, stood with Miss de la Valli\u00c3\u00a8re as godfather and godmother of a boy named Michel, who was eight years old, came from Acadia and had a father who was French and a mother who was probably Micmac. The baptized child may have been Michel Hach\u00c3\u00a9, whom the Sieur de la Valli\u00c3\u00a8re considered his adopted son, his man of trust.\n\nMichel Hach\u00c3\u00a9's baptismal records still exist in Quebec and state that he was baptized April 24, 1668, when he was eight years old, with documentation that his father was a Frenchman and his mother was an Esquimo (but more likely was a Mexis Indian as there were no Eskimo in this region of Canada).\n\nIt is not known if Michel Hach\u00c3\u00a9 had brothers, but a Madeline Larch\u00c3\u00a9, who may have been a sister, was reported to have married a Elie Voisin, on 15 October 1668, at Quebec with a dowry of 300 pounds. Sir Pierre Denys, son of Simon Denys and husband of Catherine Leneuf, and so brother-in-law to Michel Leneuf, attended Madeline's wedding as principal witness, which supports the hypotheses that Madeline was Michel Larche's sister. Otherwise, why would Sir Pierre Denys, a person of fame in Quebec, future Lord of Perce in Gaspe, have attended the wedding? In the same manner, the presence of Pierre Denys, Catherine Leneuf's husband at the wedding, would point to some relationship between Madeline Larch\u00c3\u00a9 and Michel Larch\u00c3\u00a9. Madeline was taken to court 18 July 1678 and was accused of living a scandalous life. She was condemned to", "base_doc": " have keys to their own cells - watch the video to see why), a society that actually works together instead of against each other, people participation and so much more, like a liveable wage, health care, free college and on and on.\n\n This makes the Untied United Slaves of Amerika look like the slaves and ignoramuses we are.

The span of years mentioned would have allowed this.\n\nPierre Larch\u00c3\u00a9 was employed by Nicholas Denys, a persistent, if luckless entrepreneur who in 1650 had established a trading post at St. Pierre, Ile Royale, located beside the present day St. Peter's Canal, on Cape Breton Island. Larch\u00c3\u00a9 had been married to an Adrianne Langlois, born abut 1640, but he was thought to have taken a Micmac wife when he was at St. Pierre. Larch\u00c3\u00a9 died about 1668 in Miscou, New Brunswick and was dead when his daughter Madeleine was married to Elie Voisen, in Notre Dame Church in Quebec on October 15, 1688.\n\nNicholas Denys' commercial establishment in Acadia was not mentioned in the census of the time. Not being on friendly terms with those in authority at Port Royal, Nicholas Denys often did business with those at Quebec where he had numerous and well-established friends. Nicholas Denys met with many difficulties from his rivals, who in 1667 captured the establishment he had at St. Pierre in Cape Breton. During that summer Nicholas Denys, who was already 70 years old, crossed to France on one of his rival La Giraudiere's ships. During his absence, his only son Richard looked after his business. Denys returned from France the following spring on a ship that probably went directly to Quebec. The French authorities having restored Denys' former rights at St. Pierre, his son went to get him in a schooner.\n\nIt is very likely on the occasion of this voyage that, after the death of their father, Richard Denys would have brought Michel Larch\u00c3\u00a9 along with his sister Madeleine, to Trois-Rivi\u00c3\u00a8res in New France, and that Nicholas Denys confided them to his son-in-law Michel Leneuf and his daughter Mary. This would explain the baptismal act of April 24, 1668, if it really is Michel Larche's.\n\nDenys' establishment at St. Pierre was destroyed by fire during the winter of 1668-69. Now ruined, Denys took refuge at Nipisiquit (Bathurst) during the summer of 1669. He died there in 1688 at the age of 90. Incidentally, Deny's trading post at St. Pierre, which was partially excavated by a Canadian Parks Service team in 1985, is one of the most significant 17th-century sites in Atlantic Canada. See historical site at:\n\nAt Trois-Rivi\u00c3\u00a8res in New France\n\nMichel LeNeuf, Sieur de la Valli\u00c3\u00a8re, Landlord and founder of Beaubassin, moved there from Trois-Rivi\u00c3\u00a8res. It was at Trois-Rivi\u00c3\u00a8res on 24 April 1668, that M de la Poterie, father of Michel LeNeuf and of Miss de la Valli\u00c3\u00a8re, stood with Miss de la Valli\u00c3\u00a8re as godfather and godmother of a boy named Michel, who was eight years old, came from Acadia and had a father who was French and a mother who was probably Micmac. The baptized child may have been Michel Hach\u00c3\u00a9, whom the Sieur de la Valli\u00c3\u00a8re considered his adopted son, his man of trust.\n\nMichel Hach\u00c3\u00a9's baptismal records still exist in Quebec and state that he was baptized April 24, 1668, when he was eight years old, with documentation that his father was a Frenchman and his mother was an Esquimo (but more likely was a Mexis Indian as there were no Eskimo in this region of Canada).\n\nIt is not known if Michel Hach\u00c3\u00a9 had brothers, but a Madeline Larch\u00c3\u00a9, who may have been a sister, was reported to have married a Elie Voisin, on 15 October 1668, at Quebec with a dowry of 300 pounds. Sir Pierre Denys, son of Simon Denys and husband of Catherine Leneuf, and so brother-in-law to Michel Leneuf, attended Madeline's wedding as principal witness, which supports the hypotheses that Madeline was Michel Larche's sister. Otherwise, why would Sir Pierre Denys, a person of fame in Quebec, future Lord of Perce in Gaspe, have attended the wedding? In the same manner, the presence of Pierre Denys, Catherine Leneuf's husband at the wedding, would point to some relationship between Madeline Larch\u00c3\u00a9 and Michel Larch\u00c3\u00a9. Madeline was taken to court 18 July 1678 and was accused of living a scandalous life. She was condemned to spend four days in prison and then leave the city of Quebec. On the 15th and 18th of September of the following year, she was again taken to court and", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 443486, "pt_loc": 240481809, "pt_shuffle_idx": 189208871, "doc_index_f": 296605136, "doc_index_l": 296605137, "offset_f": 389, "offset_l": 1930, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 34, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [118, 1931]} +{"pt_doc": "Eric bought Ian a skateboard for his birthday because _ could skateboard and really wanted one.\nOption 1: Eric\nOption 2: Ian\nAnswer: 2<|endoftext|> Stand by Me, we interviewed the various musicians and technicians and staff who came out to lend a hand.\n\nYesterday, the first interview we watched was Jesse's.

I wanted to understand what it was that kept him there.\"\n\nJesse asked to understand and the man wanted to share his story. \"He told me some crazy stories about how he became what he was in that moment and it was sad. He wasn't a bad guy. Just in a lot of tough situations. He talked. I listened.\"\n\nAfter three or four hours of listening, Jesse got up and dug in his pocket and found all the money he had with him. Ten bucks.\n\n\"I handed the money to the dude and he pushed my hand away.\"\n\nIn the interview, tears are visible in Jesse's eyes. His voice grows soft.\n\nThe man wouldn't take his money. \"You've given me something I've never had before,\" said the man. \"No one's ever taken the time to hear what I have to say. Nobody's ever cared enough to listen.\"\n\nJesse pauses. Catches his breath.\n\n\"A story is non-rhetorical,\" said Jesse. \"It's not looking for an answer. It's just looking to be spread.

In addition you are asked to adjudicate recorded performances. If you pass this initial assesment you are invited to take further assesments.\n\n I should explain that when I took the exams, there was no \"course\" as such. It is a series of tests taking various formats, incuding \"live\" adjudications. So you were expected to have a very high level of demonstrable musicianship, as you would in the end be judging your peers. You will be asked to \"shadow adjudicate\" at contests and your adjudications are then assesed by normally Roy Newsome and David Read. They look for all sorts of things, even grammar.\n\n A recent development is a \"Pre-Diploma\" course, which is intended to prepare people for this initial assessment. This is because there have not been that many successful applicants and I think this it to help prepare candidates up to the initial threshold standard.

Compton, the Second Circuit (Walker, Raggi, Hall, C.JJ.) held a\u00a0Border Patrol agent had reasonable suspicion to stop Compton and his brother, found to be transporting 145 pounds of marijuana, based on \u201c(1) the brothers\u2019 avoidance of [a Border Patrol]\u00a0checkpoint, (2) the checkpoint\u2019s proximity to the [Canadian] border, and (3) the brothers\u2019 peculiar attempt to conceal the avoidance.\u201d \u00a0The \u201cpeculiar attempt\u201d was the brothers\u2019 \u201cabruptly slow[ing] down\u201d when their SUV\u00a0came within sight of the checkpoint and then \u201cveer[ing] into the U\u2010shaped driveway of [a] vegetable stand\u201d where they each bought \u201ca pint of peppers.\u201d\n\n\u201cBecause [the agent] had already determined that the SUV had made the abrupt turn into the vegetable stand in order to avoid the checkpoint, [he] could reasonably interpret the pepper purchase to be an attempt to conceal that avoidance. \u00a0He could reasonably discount the probability of an alternate explanation, such as a sudden pepper emergency (such predicaments occur infrequently) or a simple desire to avoid a delay (taking the extra time to park a car and go shopping is hardly consistent with a motorist who avoids a checkpoint because he or she is in a hurry). \u00a0And he could reasonably be suspicious of individuals who appeared to be taking steps to actively deceive law enforcement.\u201d\n\n\u201cMoreover, the improbability of a pepper emergency occurring immediately upon the appearance of a border checkpoint rendered the brothers\u2019 ruse even more suspicious. \u00a0A person who resorts to an odd and poorly conceived concealment measure to avoid contact with law enforcement authorities is more likely to be desperate to avoid detection of unlawful activity.\u201d\n\nTakeaways for the Defense Bar\n\n1. \u00a0The \u201cprecipitous pepper purchase\u201d likely did the brothers in, as \u201c[a]voidance of a checkpoint alone is probably insufficient to establish reasonable suspicion,\u201d\u00a0even when the checkpoint is close to a border (which most Border Patrol checkpoints are).\n\n2. \u00a0The subsequent dog sniff, which led to discovery of the marijuana, was lawful only because the agent saw a blanket in the backseat covering items that could have contained\u00a0drugs and he \u201cconducted the extended investigation with reasonable promptness. \u00a0He radioed [another agent], who arrived with the canine in under a minute. \u00a0The canine sniff that confirmed the presence of narcotics took no more than five minutes. \u00a0The Fourth Amendment permits a brief extension of a Terry stop in order to conduct a canine sniff to resolve suspicions enhanced during the initial stop.\u201d\n\nComments are closed.<|endoftext|>The brewery manager position was better suited for Eric than Joel because _ had limited knowledge of craft beer.\nOption 1: Eric\nOption 2: Joel\nAnswer: 2<|endoftext|>- Term Papers and Free Essays\n\nGeneric Benchmarking Sheet\n\nThis essay Generic Benchmarking Sheet is available for you on!

Citing contract manipulation, the Union is against Global Communications strategy to become a global corporation by using an outsourcing approach and intends to take action through the government or any other available resource.\n\n2. With the relocation of Global Communications domestic call centers, there are plans of employee layoffs, relocation, and/or salary cuts. The senior management team will need to minimize the impact of low employee morale.\n\n3. Communication with staff in India and Ireland will be a challenge for Global Communications due to the difference in workplace cultures and legalities. The connection between corporate culture, employee engagement, worker satisfaction, and employer brand will be an area of opportunity.\n\n4. While the Global Communications senior leadership team has decided to move to India and Ireland to create a greater global presence, the leaders need to consider the less desirable effects of going global. According to Pamela Babcock (2004), \"Those include the loss of knowledge that goes with the displaced workers, impediments to sharing information and knowledge among employees offshore and, in the United States, the possible demoralizing effect on your remaining workforce as well as the risk of creating a negative corporate brand image.\"\n\nGeneric Benchmarking--The purpose of generic benchmarking is to identify potential solutions to the problem statements defined in Task A.

Outsourcing - According to Poria (2003), before outsourcing is put into effect the leaders must first understand the company's overall strategies and the potential impact this decision can have on the company as a whole in terms of morale, effectiveness, financial options, and long term and short term goals across departments. Global Communications did not have any planned strategies on how to handle the move of hundred of jobs overseas. Open communication is lacking between the stakeholders of Global Communications and not all stakeholders were involved in the decision-making process. With the lack of communication and stakeholder involvement there is a great resistance for the planned outsourcing and the opposition of union workers to do any further negotiation. To deal with the resistance faced all stakeholders of Global Communications will need to be informed of the need to change as the organization moves towards globalization due to the competitive telecommunications industry.\n\n2. Globalization - According to Babcock (2004), \"globalization is threatening the future of white-collar jobs, which are increasingly being exported to India and other parts of the globe where highly trained, highly educated workers can perform the same jobs as U.S. workers at nearly half the cost.\"\n\n3. Layoffs - According to Ruth Morss (2006), \"senior executives must establish a documented, justifiable business reason for the layoff and analyze its effect on various protected classes, defined most commonly by age, gender, race, and national origin.\" If Global Communications fails to prove that the downsizing of its domestic call centers are truly valid and not an excuse to discriminate or eliminate a division only to revamp it again with a new name and/or new people, the company could face lawsuits. According to Morss (2006), \"The laws apply to companies with 15 or more employees, and local laws cover companies with smaller numbers.\"\n\nTask B2: Generic Benchmarking: Companies\n\nInstructions for Task B2: In the Response row, identify companies that have faced and addressed similar situations (successfully and unsuccessfully).\n\n* In the Response row, list two to three companies for each topic identified in Task B1.\n\n* In the Response row, identify those that have been successful and those that have been unsuccessful.\n\n* In the Response row, summarize your key findings", "base_doc": " preposterous. There must not be a volcano within hundreds of miles of the city. I mean, there aren't any volcanic mountain ranges in southern California...right? The faults are all strike-slip and thrusts. It just doesn't seem likely. So how to find out? Maybe, a look at the interactive geologic map of California\u00a0from the California Geological Survey\u00a0(clue: most of the volcanic rocks on the map are pink or orange...).\nIs the coast really toast, or is it already toasted?\n\n\nLyle said...\n\nPlease make that coastal southern CA, after all there are Amboy and Ludlow craters in the Mohave which by many definitions is southern CA all be it on a different plate than LA.At least the volcano in the movie appeared to erupt a more basaltic lava, since in flowed to the sea in the end so at least its similar.\n\nGaelyn said...\n\nSeems like a lot of fantasizing going on here.\n\nRandy A. said...\n\nSouthern California has lots of Tertiary volcanic rocks, and some of them can look quite young... But I'm not away of any Quaternary volcanics (and couldn't find any on the map you linked) except for the Mojave cinder cones mentioned by Lyle.\n\nFor me, one of the most ridiculous things about that movie, \"Volcano\", was that they stopped and redirected the lava flow using concrete \"K-rails\". Apparently nobody told the writers and directors that basalt has a greater density than concrete. Using concrete to dam a basalt lava flow would be like using balsa wood to dam a flood of water!<|endoftext|>Tuesday, July 19th, 2016\n\n\u201cPrecipitous Pepper Purchase\u201d Precludes Pot Pushers\u2019 Partying\n\n\nIn today\u2019s\u00a0United States v. Compton, the Second Circuit (Walker, Raggi, Hall, C.JJ.) held a\u00a0Border Patrol agent had reasonable suspicion to stop Compton and his brother, found to be transporting 145 pounds of marijuana, based on \u201c(1) the brothers\u2019 avoidance of [a Border Patrol]\u00a0checkpoint, (2) the checkpoint\u2019s proximity to the [Canadian] border, and (3) the brothers\u2019 peculiar attempt to conceal the avoidance.\u201d \u00a0The \u201cpeculiar attempt\u201d was the brothers\u2019 \u201cabruptly slow[ing] down\u201d when their SUV\u00a0came within sight of the checkpoint and then \u201cveer[ing] into the U\u2010shaped driveway of [a] vegetable stand\u201d where they each bought \u201ca pint of peppers.\u201d\n\n\u201cBecause [the agent] had already determined that the SUV had made the abrupt turn into the vegetable stand in order to avoid the checkpoint, [he] could reasonably interpret the pepper purchase to be an attempt to conceal that avoidance. \u00a0He could reasonably discount the probability of an alternate explanation, such as a sudden pepper emergency (such predicaments occur infrequently) or a simple desire to avoid a delay (taking the extra time to park a car and go shopping is hardly consistent with a motorist who avoids a checkpoint because he or she is in a hurry). \u00a0And he could reasonably be suspicious of individuals who appeared to be taking steps to actively deceive law enforcement.\u201d\n\n\u201cMoreover, the improbability of a pepper emergency occurring immediately upon the appearance of a border checkpoint rendered the brothers\u2019 ruse even more suspicious. \u00a0A person who resorts to an odd and poorly conceived concealment measure to avoid contact with law enforcement authorities is more likely to be desperate to avoid detection of unlawful activity.\u201d\n\nTakeaways for the Defense Bar\n\n1. \u00a0The \u201cprecipitous pepper purchase\u201d likely did the brothers in, as \u201c[a]voidance of a checkpoint alone is probably insufficient to establish reasonable suspicion,\u201d\u00a0even when the checkpoint is close to a border (which most Border Patrol checkpoints are).\n\n2. \u00a0The subsequent dog sniff, which led to discovery of the marijuana, was lawful only because the agent saw a blanket in the backseat covering items that could have contained\u00a0drugs and he \u201cconducted the extended investigation with reasonable promptness. \u00a0He radioed [another agent], who arrived with the canine in under a minute. \u00a0The canine sniff that confirmed the presence of narcotics took no more than five minutes. \u00a0The Fourth Amendment permits a brief extension of a Terry stop in order to conduct a canine sniff to resolve suspicions enhanced during the initial stop.\u201d\n\nComments are closed.<|endoftext|>- Term Papers and Free Essays\n\nGeneric Benchmarking Sheet\n\nThis essay Generic Benchmarking Sheet is available for you on!

With the relocation of Global Communications domestic call centers, there are plans of employee layoffs, relocation, and/or salary cuts. The senior management team will need to minimize the impact of low employee morale.\n\n3. Communication with staff in India and Ireland will be a challenge for Global Communications due to the difference in workplace cultures and legalities.

No ringing bells or flying flags. Just a wound that will not stop bleeding on his brother\u2019s thigh and a slow blight that seeps up from the southern lands that Gwyn can never capture. Crops that fail year upon miserable year, until all of it is ash.\n\nThose same hunger pangs ache back into the five-month winter of his childhood, he and his brother wasting so many futile hours digging graves into the frozen earth. By the time his uncle stops breathing, they have given up on trying. Gwyn lays his uncle\u2019s body on the hoarfrost and they cover it with the stones that have been set aside to finish up the wall. His hands and his brother\u2019s hands, hard and clumsy with the cold. When it is done, the cairn is ugly and imperfect. It seems a greater injury than death, to the man who taught them how to scoop the hearting stones into walls that will stand long after all of them are dead.\n\nGwyn started from the memory with a jolt that tugged every tendon taut. The feeling of blood on his hands and his arms. It was a long time since he had woken alone, robbed of the luxury of Mercher\u2019s deep and steady breath to lull him back to sanity. The sky was still dark through the fractured beams. Stars sharp. The bloodstone bit into the blisters on his palm, tugging his thoughts back to memories of digging in the frost. Gwyn shivered and rose with the finches in the knot of hawthorn outside the empty door.\n\nBy the time the sun crested the lip of the horizon, a grey and lifeless rain was falling\u2014patterning the dirty glass that still clung in the windows. A thousand silver threads, snaking to the sill. It was a day to take comfort in the smallness of life itself. When everything narrowed to the space that he was standing in.\n\nGwyn lit the wood in the stove and worked with what they had brought up from the village. Honey and milk, scalded over the fire. Baker\u2019s yeast, and a coarse flour ground on millstones to the north where wheat would still grow. It warmed his fingers as he brought the dough together and worked it to compliance. The most fundamental stuff of life.\n\nBut his eyes kept finding the fat drops of rain dripping off of the few tiles left on the ruined roof. The land outside was smothered in the kind of low cloud that felt like it could lift to reveal a world changed beyond all recognition. Or the kind that harboured things that were not human but sought to be.\n\nAnd Mercher was out there somewhere. Riding north towards the capital in the fog and the rain. Had he lost his way out there? Fated to wander forever among the hollow hills?\n\nAnd all that I can do about it is bake bread.\n\nThe powerlessness came breathless unexpected. He tried to focus on the softness of the dough, on the rhythm of it, but it was futile. As it rose on the shelf above the stove, Gwyn sat on the rotten sill of the window and simply watched the rain fall.\n\nIf I let myself go on like this, I will lose my mind.\n\nHe put the bread into the oven and picked his way down the slick stairs into the stone garden. The stream had gorged itself on rainwater and overflowed the narrow channel that they had cleared for it. Viscous silver water that almost reached his ankles. He felt with blind fingers beneath the surface for the outlet and the debris stopping the stream from seeking down into the earth. Cleared away the grey and fragile shards of the things that had grown here before. He walked them up the stairs by the bucket-load. Took them out into the rain, and gave them to the moor. Inch by inch, he began to uncover the snaking cracks where he had dropped his seed stones into the desolation of the garden.\n\nThe smell of burning brought him back into himself and sent him stumbling for the oven. He burned his hands on the slab of black-hot bread and dropped it on the wet slate floor with frustration and disgust. He sank down to his haunches and pressed his burned hands onto the wet stone. Tomorrow, he would walk down into the village to get more flour, and he would try again.\n\n\nOther names: the tipping-point; chrysalis; gatekeeper; the fulcrum.\n\nThat terrible feeling of waiting. Crouching in the gorse flower on the moor.\n\nHe is sixteen and hunched low with a dozen other men and women not much older. None of them know what they are doing. No one but his brother. And he is so strong. So certain. Gwyn would follow him down into the mouth of the underworld if he asked. Next to that, finding a way to murder a king seems easy.\n\nSomething must be done, Gwyn.\n\nHis first love at his side for all those grey and desperate hours, shifting amongst the thorns and complaining. Trying to persuade him to leave, to be anywhere but here, while Gwyn watches his brother\u2019s silhouette against the low sky. Waiting for the signal. He does not know when he stopped listening to his lover, only that the resistance no longer means anything against the banked fires of his rage.\n\nThe worst comes when his brother waves from the hilltop with the yellow lining of his cloak, and Gwyn slides down on his heels to lie upon the road. His world narrows to the wet gravel underneath his cheek. The hooves and feet and wagons of the approaching guards. Praying under his breath that they don\u2019t notice the tremor in the standing water from the shaking in his hand, or put a crossbow bolt through him before creeping forwards to investigate the dead man wearing their king\u2019s colours.\u00a0\u00a0\n\nThe thought of his uncle is bound around that memory. Ghost whispering for vengeance, weighed down by a few hundred ugly and ill-fitting stones. And from there? One betrayal bleeds into another and he is fighting for his life against a dozen knights like silver ghosts in alleys of blue morning. When it is done, the cobblestones are black with blood. Bodies laid out in the spaces where his friends had been. His brother holding out the crossbow, stock first, eyes as hard as polished stones.\n\nHis brother says: you know who told them where to find us, Gwyn. He\u2019s been trying to get you to leave us for years. You\u2019ve never listened. Now half of our people are dead and it\u2019s on you to make it right.\n\nHis finger wavers on the trigger, staring into the face of a first love who he had worshipped with every thread and vein in his body.\n\nYou won\u2019t do it, Gwyn. I know you.\n\nHe closes his eyes. His heart. Closes his finger on the trigger.\n\nAnd now the world is hollowed out inside. It can never be made whole.\n\nHe makes easy prey for the king\u2019s men after that, and Caer Isel seems fitting punishment. Grey and silent-empty with its garrison of crows. He barely even notices when one king falls and another takes his place. When the-king-his-brother leaves him in the dark. Waiting for the crows to pick his eyes out of his body and render him to nothing.\n\nA hand grasps his and pulls him to his feet. Grey steel eyes, and a feeling like coming to the surface after so long drifting in water the same colour as a sword. Mercher as solid and as real as though he\u2019s shaped out of the stone. Everything resting on the answer to one last and desperate aching towards life.\n\nWill you help me get out of here?\n\nThe battlements of Dinas Pair at the height of the siege, with the whole city gathered below him to hear.

To further compound the problem, cloud computing systems actually try to ensure that the location is not known in order to ensure secrecy of data. Therefore, it is possible that for an application hosted by a client, the data may be stored at one location, and execution may happen in another location depending on availability of resources. And, the two locations may be in two different countries.\nNow, coming back to the example, let us say that company B is infringing on the patent by way of executing the method claimed in the patent.\nIf company B is hosting the infringing application in a traditional hosted service environment, it would be easy to prove that infringement actually happens by identifying the machine where the methods are executed, and by verifying the algorithm underlying the application. However, if the infringing application is operating in a cloud computing environment, it is extremely difficult for company A to investigate to check if infringement is happening indeed. For all we know, the storage of numbers in the aforementioned example could be on a cloud infrastructure with one service provider, and the execution of adding numbers could be happening on a cloud infrastructure with another service provider. And, the infrastructure controlled by the two service providers may be in different locations/countries. It will be interesting to see how\u00a0technology\u00a0and business models evolve in cloud computing space to accommodate these requirements.\n2. Claim language\nAnother challenge that faces company A (meaning the applicants and/or associated practitioners) is to ensure that the claims in its patent applications are meaningful even in the context of cloud computing environment.\nAs we already know, software related method claims require a machine limitation. In order to satisfy the requirement of machine limitation and to keep the claim language clear and succinct, practitioners write claims in the context of a definitive environment where the configuration (number of elements/machines involved and their inter-relation) is defined. At the best, practitioners write multiple claim sets directed to multiple configurations of elements/systems in order to cover as many variations as possible. This approach has served well till now. However, in the context of cloud computing environment, the number of configurations possible in the execution of even the simplest of programs is not defined or predictable. And, it may not be possible to write claims to cover all the possibilities by providing specific machine limitations. It will be interesting to see how prosecution evolves, and how the \u201cmachine limitation\u201d requirement will be interpreted in the context of technology operating in a cloud computing environment.\n3. Confidentiality of information\nAs discussed, a cloud computing service provider guarantees on-demand computing resources. However, there is only so much capacity that a single service provider can build, typically service providers have partner relationships formed with other service providers to lease capacity on a need basis. This kind of a scenario poses serious threats to the legality of confidentiality of information.\nIn the first instance, consider an example where a company places its\u00a0confidential information\u00a0on a simple secured hosted server provided by a third party hosted service provider under a contract with confidentiality clauses in place. Such an arrangement may be a valid mechanism to maintain the information as a secret, and therefore may provide adequate protection if and when there is a breach.\nIn the second instance, consider an example where a company places the same information on a \u201ccloud\u201d infrastructure, again backed by a contract with confidentiality clauses in place. In this scenario, even though the company has signed with the primary service provider, there is no guarantee that the information remains with the primary service provider. The information may well be stored on a server with a secondary service provider having a relationship with the primary service provider. And, the secondary service provider may not be under the same confidentiality terms as was defined between the company and the primary service provider. In fact, it is possible that there is no understanding with respect to confidentiality between the primary service provider and the secondary service provider. Such a lack of understanding between service providers with respect to confidentiality places serious threats to maintaining legitimacy of a trade secret.\nThe aforementioned challenges transform into risks for various stakeholders, especially owners of the IP in question. In order to mitigate risks associated with aforementioned challenges, owners must:\n\u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0be aware of\u00a0IP risks\u00a0in dealing with \u201ccloud\u201d based technologies\n\u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0consult expert practitioners with understanding of the nuances of the evolving technology and IP law,\n\u00a0\u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0have practitioners prepare carefully crafted patent applications, and\n\n\u00a0\u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0ensure confidentiality of information through carefully structured contracts with cloud service providers.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0In summary, the murkiness of the \u201ccloud\u201d has introduced interesting challenges to the IP system. While the technology evolves and the IP system makes necessary adjustments to counter challenges posed by the evolution, being aware of the associated risks and taking simple measures can help owners reduce risk exposure considerably.\n\nBy, Arun K Narasani, Founder/CEO.\n\nLeave a Reply\n\n\nYou are commenting using your account.

He spent his teenage years in Fukushima, about 300 kilometers north of Tokyo. Influenced by his father, an engineer, Otomo began making electrical devices such as a radio and an electronic oscillator. In junior high school, his hobby was making sound collages using open-reel tape recorders. This was his first experience creating music. Soon after entering high school he formed a band which played rock and jazz, with Otomo on guitar. It wasn't long, however, before he became a free jazz aficionado, listening to artists like Ornette Coleman, Erick Dolphy and Derek Bailey; and hearing music, both on disk and at concerts, by Japanese free jazz artists. The musician who influenced him most at that time was alto sax player Kaoru Abe (two of whose concerts he went to hear) and guitarist Masayuki Takayanagi. For Otomo, this was a turning point--the point at which he decided to play free jazz.\n\nIn 1979 Otomo moved to Tokyo to attend university. While continuing to play jazz and punk rock, in his third and fourth years of university he took part in an ethnomusicology seminar directed by professor Akira Ebato. Otomo became increasingly involved in the study of ethnomusical history, and of two subjects in particular: Japanese popular music during World War II, and the evolution of Chinese musical instruments during the Cultural Revolution. In 1981 he went to Hainan, China with a group led by Ebato, to research ethnic music. In the same year he began playing free improvisation professionally--using guitars, tapes, radios, etc.--at Goodman, a live music club in Ogikubo, Tokyo, where he continued to play for about a year.\n\nOtomo became very active in live performance in 1987. Until about 1990 he often played duo concerts with Junji Hirose (on sax and an original self-made instrument). In that period he also played in a band called No Problem, with Lim Soowoong (junk), Jun Numata (electric bass), Kenichi Saitoh (guitar) and Hirose; performed with Kan Mikami (vocals); and was a member of pianist Kyoko Kuroda's group ORT. Starting in 1990 Otomo collaborated extensively with other musicians, in a wide range of styles. He joined bassist Hideki Kato's group Player Piano ('90-'91), and organized a Japan tour with Hirose and percussionist David Moss ('90). That year, he also started his own band, Ground-0 (later Ground Zero). Until it disbanded in March 1998, the band was always at the core of his musical creativity, while it underwent several changes in style and membership.\n\nOtomo first played outside Japan in 1991. In April of that year he took Ground-0 to Hong Kong to play with two local musicians (bass and drums) in the \"Best of Indies\" concert; and in December he played in Berlin with Koichi Makigami (vocals), Yuji Katsui (violin), Hiroshi Higo (bass), David Moss (percussion), and Frank Schulte (turntables). Since then, Otomo has played overseas every year.\n\nOtomo has created and organized various bands and projects in addition to Ground Zero. He had two bands between '92 and '94: the Double Unit Orchestra, comprised of two groups which he conducted simultaneously; and Celluloid Machine Gun, which he described as the Hong Kong movie-style music world. Otomo also formed Mosquito Paper, which was active from December '93 to late '94. The name came from the slang term for Shanghai tabloid newspapers filled with gossip and fake news stories. In their performances, Otomo set to music not songs but text readings, seeking to bring about the emergence of something between music and speech. He has had many connections with the Hong Kong/Chinese music and movie scenes, especially in the early and middle '90s. Both the Celluloid Machine Gun and Mosquito Paper projects were eventually absorbed by Ground Zero, when the band launched its monumental work Revolutionary Pekinese Opera. Another of Otomo's major projects at that time was the Sampling Virus Project ('92 to '98), in which sampling processes were applied to musical works which were \"passed around\" among musicians. In this way, the sampling acted in much the same way computer viruses do--invading, multiplying in and transforming the works --thus bringing new works into being. Otomo developed the project through his various musical activities--solo work, collaborations with other musicians, his bands, etc. One example is Ground Zero/Project: Consume.\n\nSince the disbanding of Ground Zero, Otomo's sound has changed greatly. The difference can be heard especially well in his current major projects: I.S.O., his trio with Yoshimitsu Ichiraku (drums, electronics) and Sachiko M (sampler); and Filament, his duo with Sachiko M. The sound, which tends to embrace simplicity, minimalism, and texture much more than dynamism and instrumental performance, contrasts sharply with the extreme chopping and plunderphonics (\"plagiaristic\" sampling) which used to characterize Otomo's style. In another departure, in July '99 he started a new jazz project based on his own concepts--a jazz quartet with Naruyoshi Kikuchi (saxes), Kenta Tsugami (saxes), Hiroaki Mizutani (bass) and Yasuhiro Yoshigaki (drums). (Half of the compositions played are those of jazz giants such as Charles Mingus, and the rest are Otomo's). He plans to keep the quartet together at least until the band has made a CD and appeared at the Music Unlimited festival in Wels, Austria, in November 1999.\n\nIn addition, Otomo has been very active as a co-founder and a side member of other groups and projects, the major ones being drummer Tony Buck's Peril ('92-'95); Hoppy Kamiyama's Optical*8 (March '93-late '94); violinist Jon Rose's Shopping project ('93-); vocalist Tenko's Dragon Blue ('92-); drummer Chris Cutler's P53 ('94-); vocalist Phew's Novo Tono ('94-); Les sculpteurs de vinyl with Sachiko M and French DJs ('96-); and his duo with Tenko, MicroCosmos ('98-).\n\nOtomo has demonstrated an exceptional talent as a composer of movie/TV/video sound tracks. He has in particular enjoyed an excellent relationship with creators in the Chinese and Hong Kong film worlds (See Major Movie/TV/Video Sound Tracks). He also served as music director of the theater group Rinkogun from '92 to '95, creating the music for such works as Bird Man, Inu no Seikatsu, Hamlet Symbol, and Picnic Conductor.\n\nFinally, mention should be made of Otomo's vital and wide-ranging writing activity. Since the eighties he has presented his ideas on music--from distribution problems in the music industry to sociocultural considerations of such topics as sampling and free improvisation--in his articles and essays for various magazines and books in Japan.\n\nLast updated: July 26, 1999<|endoftext|>Reduced breakdown injection port liners\n\nProduct Image\nRequest Pricing\n\nTurn On Instant Requests\n\nReceive your quote directly from the manufacturer.\n\n0 Scientists have reviewed this product\n\nWrite the First Review\n\nNo Reviews\n\nReduced breakdown liners\nOur improved injection port liner reduces breakdown of endrin and DDT during injections while increasing the interval between liner changes.\n\nThe problem\nDDT and Endrin are easily degraded in the injection port; with non-deactivated liners and those filled with non-deactivated glass wool, Endrin breakdown can be as high as 98%.

In that period he also played in a band called No Problem, with Lim Soowoong (junk), Jun Numata (electric bass), Kenichi Saitoh (guitar) and Hirose; performed with Kan Mikami (vocals); and was a member of pianist Kyoko Kuroda's group ORT. Starting in 1990 Otomo collaborated extensively with other musicians, in a wide range of styles. He joined bassist Hideki Kato's group Player Piano ('90-'91), and organized a Japan tour with Hirose and percussionist David Moss ('90). That year, he also started his own band, Ground-0 (later Ground Zero). Until it disbanded in March 1998, the band was always at the core of his musical creativity, while it underwent several changes in style and membership.\n\nOtomo first played outside Japan in 1991. In April of that year he took Ground-0 to Hong Kong to play with two local musicians (bass and drums) in the \"Best of Indies\" concert; and in December he played in Berlin with Koichi Makigami (vocals), Yuji Katsui (violin), Hiroshi Higo (bass), David Moss (percussion), and Frank Schulte (turntables). Since then, Otomo has played overseas every year.\n\nOtomo has created and organized various bands and projects in addition to Ground Zero. He had two bands between '92 and '94: the Double Unit Orchestra, comprised of two groups which he conducted simultaneously; and Celluloid Machine Gun, which he described as the Hong Kong movie-style music world. Otomo also formed Mosquito Paper, which was active from December '93 to late '94. The name came from the slang term for Shanghai tabloid newspapers filled with gossip and fake news stories. In their performances, Otomo set to music not songs but text readings, seeking to bring about the emergence of something between music and speech. He has had many connections with the Hong Kong/Chinese music and movie scenes, especially in the early and middle '90s. Both the Celluloid Machine Gun and Mosquito Paper projects were eventually absorbed by Ground Zero, when the band launched its monumental work Revolutionary Pekinese Opera. Another of Otomo's major projects at that time was the Sampling Virus Project ('92 to '98), in which sampling processes were applied to musical works which were \"passed around\" among musicians. In this way, the sampling acted in much the same way computer viruses do--invading, multiplying in and transforming the works --thus bringing new works into being. Otomo developed the project through his various musical activities--solo work, collaborations with other musicians, his bands, etc. One example is Ground Zero/Project: Consume.\n\nSince the disbanding of Ground Zero, Otomo's sound has changed greatly. The difference can be heard especially well in his current major projects: I.S.O., his trio with Yoshimitsu Ichiraku (drums, electronics) and Sachiko M (sampler); and Filament, his duo with Sachiko M. The sound, which tends to embrace simplicity, minimalism, and texture much more than dynamism and instrumental performance, contrasts sharply with the extreme chopping and plunderphonics (\"plagiaristic\" sampling) which used to characterize Otomo's style. In another departure, in July '99 he started a new jazz project based on his own concepts--a jazz quartet with Naruyoshi Kikuchi (saxes), Kenta Tsugami (saxes), Hiroaki Mizutani (bass) and Yasuhiro Yoshigaki (drums). (Half of the compositions played are those of jazz giants such as Charles Mingus, and the rest are Otomo's). He plans to keep the quartet together at least until the band has made a CD and appeared at the Music Unlimited festival in Wels, Austria, in November 1999.\n\nIn addition, Otomo has been very active as a co-founder and a side member of other groups and projects, the major ones being drummer Tony Buck's Peril ('92-'95); Hoppy Kamiyama's Optical*8 (March '93-late '94); violinist Jon Rose's Shopping project ('93-); vocalist Tenko's Dragon Blue ('92-); drummer Chris Cutler's P53 ('94-); vocalist Phew's Novo Tono ('94-); Les sculpteurs de vinyl with Sachiko M and French DJs ('96-); and his duo with Tenko, MicroCosmos ('98-).\n\nOtomo has demonstrated an exceptional talent as a composer of movie/TV/video sound tracks. He has in particular enjoyed an excellent relationship with creators in the Chinese and Hong Kong film worlds (See Major Movie/TV/Video Sound Tracks). He also served as music director of the theater group Rinkogun from '92 to '95, creating the music for such works as Bird Man, Inu no Seikatsu, Hamlet Symbol, and Picnic Conductor.\n\nFinally, mention should be made of Otomo's vital and wide-ranging writing activity. Since the eighties he has presented his ideas on music--from distribution problems in the music industry to sociocultural considerations of such topics as sampling and free improvisation--in his articles and essays for various magazines and books in Japan.\n\nLast updated: July 26, 1999<|endoftext|>Reduced breakdown injection port liners\n\nProduct Image\nRequest Pricing\n\nTurn On Instant Requests\n\nReceive your quote directly from the manufacturer.\n\n0 Scientists have reviewed this product\n\nWrite the First Review\n\nNo Reviews\n\nReduced breakdown liners\nOur improved injection port liner reduces breakdown of endrin and DDT during injections while increasing the interval between liner changes.\n\nThe problem\nDDT and Endrin are easily degraded in the injection port; with non-deactivated liners and those filled with non-deactivated glass wool, Endrin breakdown can be as high as 98%.

Breathe it all in when the good times come.. hold on to them while they are there.. and just breathe out the tough times.\nbecause the giant wheel will always keep turning no matter what, and it's better to have a good ride while you're at it!\n2.

[the roller coaster video clip from Final Destination 3]\nNjoy! *evil grin*\n\nThursday, July 3, 2008\n\nso, what changed your life?\n\nI've been going through one of those metamorphosis phases in life. Things happen, take you offguard, sweep you off your feet before you could even realise, and thud! your are thrown down with a bang.. and then you pick yourself up, brush off the dust, nurse your wounds, think over it, promise yourself to be more careful, and without realising, end up altering your life and outlook towards it to an extent. Most of the time, this metamorphosis happens without awareness..\n\nAnd then today, someone at work just caught me offguard: 'Hey!! Good Morning. So Usha, WHAT changed your life?'\nMe: 'umm.. well.. ahem.. ??!'\n\nChange is good.\n\nother updates: went to the Infant Jesus church today, after a real long time. Experienced 'peace in chaos' for one more time. Loved it.\n\nSaturday, June 28, 2008\n\n\nThat's exactly where I was a few months back..\nMiserable, and in denial mode after being pushed in to committing to something I've been running away from, for more than a decade now.\n\nMy certification exam voucher's validity was till June 30, and as any typical adiyal bachha, I was just putting it off to the (n-2)nd day. Actually, I realised I'm better off, as I just bumped into quite a few folks who put it off to the nth day.. I'm proud of you, my buddies!! no, really!\n\nSo, I've been making real honest efforts to get out of my mental block, you know..\nTried several silly tactics to trick my brain into learning it.\nOne of them was to go learn something I've always wanted to, so that I could balance it with something I've never wanted to learn.. n so, enrolled myself for the Guitar classes.. It was super fun. Though a few 'Bonnies' and '500 miles' later, I had to take a break from it.. (no, not forever. I'm definitely going to get back to it sooon!)\nAfter the carrot trick, it was the turn of the stick.. so I've been putting off all those short trip plans, the very inviting trekk plans, postponing meeting up with all my lovely dost log until after June.\n\nBut in spite of all this, like any typical loser, I had 101 excuses to put off the preps for until the last couple of months.. and then, suddenly life went topsy turvy at all fronts possible.. and here I am, at the last one week of my deadline, with another couple of very important deadlines coinciding with the same.. and for toppings, the 7 year itch at work. wow! how better could that get!\n\nBut I'm not a loser, Am I? The countdown showed 2 more days to go, and I decided to pull up my sleeves, and go for it. Result?

Workarounds are just about turning a blind eye to the issue. So people, when I said having an ice-cream could cure me of a cold, it was just a quickfix. The cold monster is back again with all its might and for once I've decided to let it have it's way and don't play around it with my self-medications.\n\nYesterday, I went home with a heavy head and a heavier heart, and watched a movie, though the title wasn't too appealing for my state of mind then.. 'I love you to death' . 1st scene, 1st shot, was a pizza. So there we go craving for our favorite 'Saas bahu special' pizza from Sweet Chariot's.. (People who haven't tried that, please do.. again, a quick and easy way to clear a congested nose! :P) and top it up with a couple of mocha cakes..\n\nThe movie is a dark comedy.. A queer one.. It's hilarious in a certain way.. More to do with the way the story is told and is enacted.. the fake Italian accent.. and the underlying sarcasm.. A good watch for a tired weekday evening.\n\nWhy am I blogging about it anyways? Because I liked a line in that which I would like to quote in here:\n'When somebody shoot you in the head, it make you think'\nVery true, no?\n\nThursday, June 19, 2008\n\nThe 'I' factor\n\nTadaa!! another 'tag' time!\nDhanya just passed on this tag, and I was more than happy to take it up..

Breathe it all in when the good times come.. hold on to them while they are there.. and just breathe out the tough times.\nbecause the giant wheel will always keep turning no matter what, and it's better to have a good ride while you're at it!\n2. Be wary when something takes you on a high too fast, 'coz before you could realise, you'll be let down from a height, as fast as it took you there!\n3. Whatever goes around, comes around. Also, whatever comes around, goes around.\n\non a not-so-philosophical note:\n\nWhy am I talking about giant wheels today?\nThis is an eerie incident that happened last week.\nAnd today, it's another nightmare.\nI wonder why they are called joyrides, afterall?\n\nAnyways, now that I'm in the 'getting scared-and scaring others' mode, lemme share one of my most dreaded nightmares.. [the roller coaster video clip from Final Destination 3]\nNjoy! *evil grin*\n\nThursday, July 3, 2008\n\nso, what changed your life?\n\nI've been going through one of those metamorphosis phases in life. Things happen, take you offguard, sweep you off your feet before you could even realise, and thud! your are thrown down with a bang.. and then you pick yourself up, brush off the dust, nurse your wounds, think over it, promise yourself to be more careful, and without realising, end up altering your life and outlook towards it to an extent. Most of the time, this metamorphosis happens without awareness..\n\nAnd then today, someone at work just caught me offguard: 'Hey!! Good Morning. So Usha, WHAT changed your life?'\nMe: 'umm.. well.. ahem.. ??!'\n\nChange is good.\n\nother updates: went to the Infant Jesus church today, after a real long time. Experienced 'peace in chaos' for one more time. Loved it.\n\nSaturday, June 28, 2008\n\n\nThat's exactly where I was a few months back..\nMiserable, and in denial mode after being pushed in to committing to something I've been running away from, for more than a decade now.\n\nMy certification exam voucher's validity was till June 30, and as any typical adiyal bachha, I was just putting it off to the (n-2)nd day. Actually, I realised I'm better off, as I just bumped into quite a few folks who put it off to the nth day.. I'm proud of you, my buddies!! no, really!\n\nSo, I've been making real honest efforts to get out of my mental block, you know..\nTried several silly tactics to trick my brain into learning it.\nOne of them was to go learn something I've always wanted to, so that I could balance it with something I've never wanted to learn.. n so, enrolled myself for the Guitar classes.. It was super fun. Though a few 'Bonnies' and '500 miles' later, I had to take a break from it.. (no, not forever. I'm definitely going to get back to it sooon!)\nAfter the carrot trick, it was the turn of the stick.. so I've been putting off all those short trip plans, the very inviting trekk plans, postponing meeting up with all my lovely dost log until after June.\n\nBut in spite of all this, like any typical loser, I had 101 excuses to put off the preps for until the last couple of months.. and then, suddenly life went topsy turvy at all fronts possible.. and here I am, at the last one week of my deadline, with another couple of very important deadlines coinciding with the same.. and for toppings, the 7 year itch at work. wow! how better could that get!\n\nBut I'm not a loser, Am I? The countdown showed 2 more days to go, and I decided to pull up my sleeves, and go for it. Result? I got the certification and made it with a clear 75%. yay!!\nIt might not be a great score, but for someone who was so unsure about clearing the test, this definitely is like an icing on the cake!\n\nI might have cracked tougher tests and fought tougher fights, but this success is soo soooo special to me, for its perfect timing..

Click image to expand.\n\nQuentin Tarantino concludes his seventh feature, the Nazi-bludgeoning fantasy Inglourious Basterds, with a grisly flourish and a self-satisfied review. Having performed one of his signature mutilations, a character peers down at his handiwork and into the camera and declares: \"This might just be my masterpiece.\" This is typical Tarantino bluster, in keeping with the image of the bratty wunderkind that he worked hard to cultivate and that, even at 46, he refuses to outgrow. But as the rare filmmaker who's also an avid reader of film reviews, he also surely knows that it's been a while since the critical establishment thought of him as a maker of masterpieces.\n\nSince it premiered at Cannes in May, Basterds has met with some wildly conflicting reactions (some of them\u2014no surprise given its breezily outrageous approach to a loaded subject\u2014highly negative and morally accusatory). Tarantino's career since Pulp Fiction continues to seem like one long backlash. Could it be that one of the most overrated directors of the '90s has become one of the most underrated of the aughts?\n\n\nTarantino's filmography is split in two by the six-year gap that separated Jackie Brown (1997) and Kill Bill Vol. 1(2003), during which, among other things, he worked on the notoriously unwieldy Basterds screenplay (which was at one point supposed to be a miniseries). The received wisdom has it that he never quite made a comeback. But the criticisms most frequently leveled against him these days\u2014he's a rip-off artist, he makes movies that relate only to other movies, he knows nothing of real life, he could use some sensitivity training\u2014apply equally, if not more so, to the earlier films. (Reservoir Dogs lifted many of its tricks directly from the Hong Kong film City on Fire; Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown are the Tarantino movies with the most flamboyant use of racist language.) Reviewers and audiences may have wearied of the blowhard auteur, but there's an argument to be made that Tarantino, far from a burnout case, is just hitting his stride, and that his movies, in recent years, have only grown freer and more radical.\n\nTaken as a yin-yang whole, Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 constitute a globe-spanning feat of genre scholarship, blithely connecting the dots from Chinese kung fu to Japanese swordplay, from blaxploitation to manga to spaghetti Western. Tarantino's reference-happy method is often dismissed as know-it-all geekery or stunted nostalgia, the video-store dreams of an eternal fanboy. But there is something strikingly of the moment and perhaps even utopian about Kill Bill's obsessive pastiche, which at once celebrates and demonstrates the possibilities of the voracious, hyperlinked 21st-century media gestalt: the idea that whole histories and entire worlds of pop culture are up for grabs, waiting to be revived, reclaimed, remixed.\n\nFirst released as part of Grindhouse, 2007's double-header exercise in retro sleaze, Death Proof confirmed that Tarantino has no interest, or maybe is incapable of, straightforward homage, even when that's the nominal assignment. While partner in crime Robert Rodriguez tossed off a scattershot bit of zombie schlock for his contribution (Planet Terror), Tarantino borrowed a few motifs from sorority slashers and car-chase zone-outs and fashioned a curious formal experiment that would have given a '70s exploitation producer fits. Death Proof (on DVD in an unrated, extended version) is split down the middle into mirror-image halves. In each segment, the same scenario unfolds (with very different outcomes): a group of young women has a scary run-in with Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell), a killer in a muscle car, and the exhilarating final burst of action is preceded by a provocatively long bout of directionless yapping.\n\nLike their creator, Tarantino's characters never shut up and are plainly enthralled by the sound of their own voices. More than the spasms of violence, the lifeblood of his movies is their ornate dialogue, which tends to unfurl at great, meandering length. (Tarantino was sly enough to call attention to this hallmark early on: In Reservoir Dogs, when Tim Roth's character, an undercover cop, is handed the scripted anecdote that he will have to perform to pass as Mr. Orange, he balks at the sheer level of detail: \"I've got to memorize all this? There's over four fucking pages of shit here.\") Tarantino movies are known for two kinds of verbal expulsions: the stem-winding monologue (Samuel L. Jackson's Old Testament shtick in Pulp Fiction) and the micro-observational tangent (Steve Buscemi's anti-tipping tirade in Reservoir Dogs). In Death Proof, which revels in a buzzed, leisurely camaraderie, he quietly masters a third kind: the language of downtime and hanging out, not exactly naturalistic (his most subdued chatter retains a heightened quality) but less baroque and truer to the rhythms of actual human interaction. Modest as it seems, Death Proof is in fact a clear-cut demonstration of Tarantino's gifts. By so pointedly breaking the film into long, alternating sections\u2014talk, action, talk, action\u2014he distends the normal rhythm of his movies, weighing aural against visual spectacle and pushing each to its limit.\n\nBut it's in Inglourious Basterds that the relationship between language and action becomes truly charged. Though the violence (much of it perpetrated by Jews against Nazis, with baseball bats and bowie knives) is graphic and memorable, the film consists largely of one-on-one verbal showdowns. As in Death Proof, but with greater purpose, Tarantino gives the conversations room to soar and stall and double back on themselves (especially in two agonizingly tense and protracted scenes, in a farmhouse and a basement tavern). Language is the chief weapon of the insinuating villain, brilliantly played by Christoph Waltz, a Nazi colonel fluent in German, English, French, and Italian. Power resides in the persuasiveness of speech; the success of undercover missions hinges on the ability to master accents; and as characters strive to maintain false pretenses, words are a means of forestalling death.\n\nInglourious Basterds addresses head-on many of the standard anti-Tarantino criticisms. You say he makes movies that are just about movies? You think they present violence without a context? Luring the elite of the Third Reich to an Art Deco cinematheque in Nazi-occupied Paris, Basterds gleefully uses film history to turn the tables on world history; its context is nothing less than the worst atrocity of the 20th century. This only seems to have further infuriated Tarantino's detractors, some of whom are appalled that this terminal adolescent would dare to indulge his notorious penchant for vengeful wish fulfillment on such sensitive and sacrosanct material.\n\nNeedless to say, Tarantino's movie shares little common ground with\u2014and, indeed, is probably a direct response to\u2014your typical Holocaust drama. It has no interest in somber commemoration, and it refuses to deny the very real satisfactions of revenge. Like all of Tarantino's films, Inglourious Basterds is about its maker's crazy faith in movies, in their ability to create a parallel universe. His films have always implicitly insisted that movies are an alternative to real life, and with Inglourious Basterds, for the first time, he has done something at once preposterous and poignant: He takes that maxim at face value and creates his own counterfactual history.

Why is it different?\n\nI believe that the current political crisis has little to do with the expenses scandal, still less with Gordon Brown\u2019s leadership. It arises because our economic system can no longer extract wealth from other nations. For the past 300 years, the revolutions and reforms experienced by almost all other developed countries have been averted in Britain by foreign remittances.\n\nThe social unrest that might have transformed our politics was instead outsourced to our colonies and unwilling trading partners. The rebellions in Ireland, India, China, the Caribbean, Egypt, South Africa, Malaya, Kenya, Iran and other places we subjugated were the price of political peace in Britain. After decolonisation, our plunder of other nations was sustained by the banks. Now, for the first time in three centuries, they can no longer deliver, and we must at last confront our problems.\n\nThere will probably never be a full account of the robbery this country organised, but there are a few snapshots. In his book Capitalism and Colonial Production, Hamza Alavi estimates that the resource flow from India to Britain between 1793 and 1803 was in the order of \u00a32m a year, the equivalent of many billions today. The economic drain from India, he notes, \u201chas not only been a major factor in India\u2019s impoverishment \u2026 it has also been a very significant factor in the industrial revolution in Britain\u201d. As Ralph Davis observes in The Industrial Revolution and British Overseas Trade, from the 1760s onwards India\u2019s wealth \u201cbought the national debt back from the Dutch and others \u2026 leaving Britain nearly free from overseas indebtedness when it came to face the great French wars from 1793\u2033.\n\nIn France by contrast, as Eric Hobsbawm notes in The Age of Revolution, \u201cthe financial troubles of the monarchy brought matters to a head\u201d. In 1788 half of France\u2019s national expenditure was used to service its debt: the \u201cAmerican War and its debt broke the back of the monarchy\u201d.\n\nEven as the French were overthrowing the ancien regime, Britain\u2019s landed classes were able to strengthen their economic power, seizing common property from the country\u2019s poor by means of enclosure. Partly as a result of remittances from India and the Caribbean, the economy was booming and the state had the funds to ride out political crises. Later, after smashing India\u2019s own industrial capacity, Britain forced that country to become a major export market for our manufactured goods, sustaining industrial employment here (and avoiding social unrest) long after our products and processes became uncompetitive.\n\nColonial plunder permitted the British state to balance its resource deficits as well. For some 200 years a river of food flowed into this country from such places as Ireland, India and the Caribbean. In The Blood Never Dried, John Newsinger reveals that in 1748 Jamaica alone sent 17,400 tons of sugar to Britain; by 1815 this had risen to 73,800. It was all produced by stolen labour.\n\nJust as grain was sucked out of Ireland at the height of its great famine, so Britain continued to drain India of food during its catastrophic hungers. In Late Victorian Holocausts, Mike Davis shows that between 1876 and 1877 wheat exports to the UK from India doubled as subsistence there collapsed, and several million died of starvation. In the North-Western provinces famine was wholly engineered by British policy, as good harvests were exported to offset poor English production in 1876 and 1877.\n\nBritain, in other words, outsourced famine as well as social unrest. There was terrible poverty in this country in the second half of the 19th century, but not mass starvation. The bad harvest of 1788 helped precipitate the French revolution, but the British state avoided such hazards. Others died on our behalf.\n\nIn the late 19th century, Davis shows, Britain\u2019s vast deficits with the United States, Germany and its white dominions were balanced by huge annual surpluses with India and (as a result of the opium trade) China. For a generation \u201cthe starving Indian and Chinese peasantries \u2026 braced the entire system of international settlements, allowing England\u2019s continued financial supremacy to temporarily co-exist with its relative industrial decline\u201d. Britain\u2019s trade surpluses with India allowed the City to become the world\u2019s financial capital.\n\nIts role in British colonisation was not a passive one. The bankruptcy, and subsequent British takeover, of Egypt in 1882 was hastened by a loan from Roths\u00adchild\u2019s bank whose execution, Newsinger records, amounted to \u201cfraud on a massive scale\u201d. \u00adJardine Matheson, once the biggest narco-trafficking outfit in history (it dominated the Chinese opium trade), later formed a major investment bank, Jardine Fleming. It was taken over by JP Morgan Chase in 2000.\n\nWe lost our colonies, but the plunder has continued by other means. As Joseph Stiglitz shows in Globalisation and its Discontents, the capital liberalisation forced on Asian economies by the IMF permitted northern traders to loot hundreds of billions of dollars, precipitating the Asian financial crisis of 1997-98. Poorer nations have also been strong-armed into a series of amazingly one-sided treaties and commitments, such as trade-related investment measures, bilateral investment agreements and the EU\u2019s economic partnership agreements. If you have ever wondered how a small, densely populated country which produces very little supports itself, I would urge you to study these asymmetric arrangements.\n\nBut now, as John Lanchester demonstrates in a fascinating essay in the London Review of Books, the City could be fatally wounded. The nation that relied on financial services may take generations to recover from their collapse. The great British adventure \u2013 three centuries spent pillaging the labour, wealth and resources of other countries \u2013 is over. We cannot accept this, and seek gleeful revenge on a government that can no longer insulate us from reality.\n\n\nSunday, June 7, 2009\n\n\n\n\nAnd so - the dictator announces - there will be no trial, just a death sentence.

It shouldn't be that hard, but it seemed to be hard for Breem's Legal Eagle team last nite, with John Yoo fussing about how any of Barr's Sedition busts would be compariable with placeHolder's years ago.\n\n 4. I think Barr would and will stay silent and run deep on Durham's work up until it becomes public, and I think Barr's been bit hard by the bug of straight-shooting and calling it like he sees it, so I wouldn't read tea leaves to interpret a speech such as this. In this speech, Barr seems intent on establishing a 'relationship' in DOJ among US attorneys, and trying to establish accountability at the same time, by saying he's accountable, and they're not. I'll just wait and see what happens with the Durham investigation.\n\n 5. There's another way to interpret Barr's remarks: it's not so much an indication that he won't bring a broad conspiracy case against those who did this, but rather that he's laying the ground work so that IF Durham brings conspiracy indictments against any of the \"Big Fish,\" you'll know it isn't DOJ \"criminalizing politics,\" but rather true criminal conspiracy to commit very real crimes.\n\n OTOH, if a case is iffy, Barr will probably tell Durham not to bother.\n\n One more possibility: on Big Fish, for whom the evidence just isn't sufficient to prove their role in a conspiracy, instead of prosecuting them, DOJ (or the Senate!) could immunize them, and force them to testify against the rest of the scoundrels, and about their own role, truthfully, or face perjury charges if they lie, or face contempt if they refuse.\n\n I almost wonder if these upcoming Senate hearings are all about doing just that with some key Big Fish players in the conspiracy to commit coup; the moment one of them tries to invoke the 5th Amendment, Senate votes to immunize them, and force them to testify truthfully.\n\n Done strategically, with the right players, it could be devastating.\n\n One can hardly accuse Barr of \"criminalizing politics\" if he (or the Senate) hands out immunity to get the truth out.\n\n 6. What's that old saying? Oh, yes: You only get one bite at the apple. AG Barr would do well to remember this sage advice. If Biden wins, he may well end up being charged as an enemy of the state. And that is where we are today in this country founded on individual liberty and freedom...\n\n\n 1. If Kamala Biden decides to make Barr an enemy of the state, there won't be much of the state left to prosecute.\n\n 7. Everything Mark\u2019s post said. Times ten.\n\n A shipwreck of a theory, indeed.\n\n 1. Brad, in fairness, in SWC's latest article, which I link in my update to the Barr/Sedition post, he pretty much lays out all the reasons why no one should expect Barr to back down if he sees the way forward to prosecute a conspiracy:\n\n 2. Thanks, Mark. That was fun to read. And I didn't mean to sound like I was dumping on SWC, just that, like you, I took Barr's words a lot differently than he did. I heard Barr talking more about the wrongdoing already done & \"let's not let it happen again\" than I did \"and we're going to set an example for the future by not charging conspiracy and letting all these seditious rat bastards off the hook.\"\n\n 8. A lot of ordinary people are rightly outraged by numerous Soros-funded local DAs that routinely release arsonists and looters that have been arrested during the hundreds of riots manufactured across the country. And Barr is pushing his AUSAs to consider sedition-based charges stemming from the organized origins of much of this activity. OK, that's how the Feds will de facto treat criminals in the general population.\n\n So how will it all look to average Americans if DOJ grants a pass to the DC-based insiders who were up to their eyeballs in an actual serious long term coup attempt against a duly elected president?\n\n That level of hypocrisy and double-standard is sufficient to warrant real insurrection for cause. No different really that the revolution of 1776.\n\n 9. The whole thing is \u201ciffy.\u201d It was done under counter intel which, as far as I can tell, the Constitution is void.\n\n Funny thing is, the Constitution makes no distinction between counter intelligence or plain criminal law. That is a function of judges.\n\n - TexasDude\n\n 10. Mark, I'm wondering if the word \"capacious\" was not the word Barr actually used. I think \"capricious\" fits what I see as his meaning better.\n\n His sentence, as transcribed: \"Taking a capacious approach to criminal law is not only unfair to criminal defendants and bad for the Justice Department\u2019s track record at the Supreme Court, it is corrosive to our political system.\"\n\n Capricious: Characterized by, arising from, or subject to caprice; impulsive or unpredictable.\n Characterized by caprice; apt to change opinions suddenly, or to deviate from one's purpose; unsteady; changeable; fickle; subject to change or irregularity: as, a man of a capricious temper.\n\n 1. capacious - Capable of containing a large quantity; spacious or roomy.\n\n I thought that too but on reflection decided it was intentional usage. What he's saying is that if Rule of Law becomes so all encompassing by the National gov't that every tit and tattle is considered worthy of prosecution then you essentially negate the Rule of Law and enter into the", "base_doc": "'s views on the Presidency as a constitutionally unique institution--his view of the unitary executive as centered in the very person of the President.\u00a0\n\nBut that leaves all Executive Branch subordinates fair game--as long as prosecutions of their actions are prosecutions of \"clear crimes\" rather than the product of DoJ \"insert[ing itself]\u00a0 into the political process based on the flimsiest of legal theories.\" I'm quite sure that Barr does not believe that's what his investigation of the Russia Hoax is.

There's another way to interpret Barr's remarks: it's not so much an indication that he won't bring a broad conspiracy case against those who did this, but rather that he's laying the ground work so that IF Durham brings conspiracy indictments against any of the \"Big Fish,\" you'll know it isn't DOJ \"criminalizing politics,\" but rather true criminal conspiracy to commit very real crimes.\n\n OTOH, if a case is iffy, Barr will probably tell Durham not to bother.\n\n One more possibility: on Big Fish, for whom the evidence just isn't sufficient to prove their role in a conspiracy, instead of prosecuting them, DOJ (or the Senate!) could immunize them, and force them to testify against the rest of the scoundrels, and about their own role, truthfully, or face perjury charges if they lie, or face contempt if they refuse.\n\n I almost wonder if these upcoming Senate hearings are all about doing just that with some key Big Fish players in the conspiracy to commit coup; the moment one of them tries to invoke the 5th Amendment, Senate votes to immunize them, and force them to testify truthfully.\n\n Done strategically, with the right players, it could be devastating.\n\n One can hardly accuse Barr of \"criminalizing politics\" if he (or the Senate) hands out immunity to get the truth out.\n\n 6. What's that old saying? Oh, yes: You only get one bite at the apple. AG Barr would do well to remember this sage advice. If Biden wins, he may well end up being charged as an enemy of the state. And that is where we are today in this country founded on individual liberty and freedom...\n\n\n 1. If Kamala Biden decides to make Barr an enemy of the state, there won't be much of the state left to prosecute.\n\n 7. Everything Mark\u2019s post said. Times ten.\n\n A shipwreck of a theory, indeed.\n\n 1. Brad, in fairness, in SWC's latest article, which I link in my update to the Barr/Sedition post, he pretty much lays out all the reasons why no one should expect Barr to back down if he sees the way forward to prosecute a conspiracy:\n\n 2. Thanks, Mark. That was fun to read. And I didn't mean to sound like I was dumping on SWC, just that, like you, I took Barr's words a lot differently than he did. I heard Barr talking more about the wrongdoing already done & \"let's not let it happen again\" than I did \"and we're going to set an example for the future by not charging conspiracy and letting all these seditious rat bastards off the hook.\"\n\n 8. A lot of ordinary people are rightly outraged by numerous Soros-funded local DAs that routinely release arsonists and looters that have been arrested during the hundreds of riots manufactured across the country. And Barr is pushing his AUSAs to consider sedition-based charges stemming from the organized origins of much of this activity. OK, that's how the Feds will de facto treat criminals in the general population.\n\n So how will it all look to average Americans if DOJ grants a pass to the DC-based insiders who were up to their eyeballs in an actual serious long term coup attempt against a duly elected president?\n\n That level of hypocrisy and double-standard is sufficient to warrant real insurrection for cause. No different really that the revolution of 1776.\n\n 9. The whole thing is \u201ciffy.\u201d It was done under counter intel which, as far as I can tell, the Constitution is void.\n\n Funny thing is, the Constitution makes no distinction between counter intelligence or plain criminal law. That is a function of judges.\n\n - TexasDude\n\n 10. Mark, I'm wondering if the word \"capacious\" was not the word Barr actually used. I think \"capricious\" fits what I see as his meaning better.\n\n His sentence, as transcribed: \"Taking a capacious approach to criminal law is not only unfair to criminal defendants and bad for the Justice Department\u2019s track record at the Supreme Court, it is corrosive to our political system.\"\n\n Capricious: Characterized by, arising from, or subject to caprice; impulsive or unpredictable.\n Characterized by caprice; apt to change opinions suddenly, or to deviate from one's purpose; unsteady; changeable; fickle; subject to change or irregularity: as, a man of a capricious temper.\n\n 1. capacious - Capable of containing a large quantity; spacious or roomy.\n\n I thought that too but on reflection decided it was intentional usage. What he's saying is that if Rule of Law becomes so all encompassing by the National gov't that every tit and tattle is considered worthy of prosecution then you essentially negate the Rule of Law and enter into the realm of Rule by Prosecution, that is the very definition of tyranny.\n\n Rule of Law is a tricky proposition that has two sides. One side says, \"Every offensive thing", "perturbation_file": "testset_text_document", "perturbation_idx": 459846, "pt_loc": 151633966, "pt_shuffle_idx": 147099263, "doc_index_f": 230572093, "doc_index_l": 230572093, "offset_f": 1294, "offset_l": 3342, "pt_injection_pos": 0, "pt_window_offset": 0, "pt_injection_len": 37, "orig_doc_seq_sizes": [2049]} +{"pt_doc": " that bad, but still betrayed a naivete about the Arabs and Moslems, and their intentions.

It can also be used for many other purposes which require timing, counting, comparing or capturing. The MCPWM is used for generating audio signals in the 2d game console as the general PWM is used for color generation. And I will be discussing as to how it works and how to initialize it.\n\nThere are 3 MCPWM channels in LPC1768. Each channel contains its own 32-bit timer, 32-bit Limit register, 32-bit Match register, 10-bit deadtime register and 32-bit capture register. And there will be two output pins for each channel named A and B. The A and B outputs will be complementary to each other. Here the Limit register sets the TOP value of the timer. Hence the timer counts from 0 to the Limit value. So one can set the PWM frequency by choosing a correct prescaler (clock frequency divider) and the limit value.\n\nThere are two modes, one is edge aligned and the other is center aligned mode. In edge aligned mode, the timer will count upwards from 0 to limit and goes back to 0 and the output toggles when the timer value matches with the match register or the limit register. In center aligned mode, the timer will count upwards from 0 to limit and then counts downward from limit to 0 and the output toggles only when the timer value matches the match register value. If you are looking for a phase correct mode, then you should use center aligned mode.\n\nYou can even set the passive polarity of the output. If you select passive polarity state as LOW, then the MCPWM output signal will be LOW until the timer value matches the match register value and will be HIGH from the time when match occurs till the timer value matches the limit register value. If the polarity state is selected as HIGH, then the reverse will happen.\n\n\u00a0Figure 1: Waveform indicating the output of MCPWM channel 0 with polarity as 0 in edge aligned mode.

(Source: NXP user manual for LPC1768)\n\nFor 2-channel audio generation purpose, MCPWM channels 1 and 2 were used. Follow the code below to initialize and use the MCPWM.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 // Power up MCPWM\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LPC_SC->PCONP |= 1<<17;\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 // PCLK = CCLK (100MHz in our case)\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LPC_SC->PCLKSEL1 |= 1<<30;\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 // Configuring P1.25 and P1.28 as MC1A and MC2A\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LPC_PINCON->PINSEL3 |= (1<<18) | (1<<24);\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 // Set the Limit register (MCLIM0-2 is named as MCPER0-2 in CMSIS source file)\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LPC_MCPWM->MCPER1 = 255;\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LPC_MCPWM->MCPER2 = 255;\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 //\u00a0 Start MCPWM channels 1 and 2 and POLA = 1\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LPC_MCPWM->MCCON_CLR = 0xffffffff;\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LPC_MCPWM->MCCON_SET = (1<<10) | (1<<18) | (1<<16) | (1<<8);\n\nHere the reason I am using POLA = 1 is that I want average value of the output signal to be my audio signal. I am using 8-bit audio and the audio sample value 0 should give less amplitude than the value 255. So the PWM signal should stay HIGH only till it matches with the match value (audio sample) and then should become LOW.\n\nNow that the configuration is over, the only thing that is remaining is to get audio out of MC1A and MC2A. So we need to update the MCMAT1 and MCMAT2 at the PCM rate of the audio signal that needs to be played. For example we want to play a 16kHz 8-bit sample width audio (WAV file). So we need to update MCMAT1,2 once in (1/16kHz) = 62.5uS. Lets setup a timer to give an interrupt once in 62.5uS and update the match values in that interrupt.\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 // Power up Timer1\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LPC_SC->PCONP |= 1<<2;\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 // PCLK = CCLK (In my case it is 100MHz)\u00a0\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LPC_SC->PCLKSEL0 |= 1<<4;\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 // Select 16kHz as timer frequency\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 // (100MHz / 16kHz) = 6250.
